"What are you talking about Harada-san?" He looked at her as ifshe'd gone mad and the girl blushed.
"I'm sorry, I just... never mind. When you kissed me, it seemed like--"
"Harada-san, I was imitating that thief. I was not myself at the moment. Surely you realize this?"
But he wouldn't meet her eyes, staring intently at the card he was working on. Risa nodded.
"Yes... I just thought for a moment..."
"Harada-san, you've publised it all over the school that you detest boys with glasses. It is a physical impossiblity to even contemplate such an action."
"I... I could change my mind couldn't I?" She was hesitant in saying this, however the look that he shot her was anything but.
"Do you WANT to change your mind?"
Risa fell silent, fiddling nervously with the cards in her lap.
"Y-you know, it's about time I should be getting home. It's getting late, and I can finish the rest of these myself." She stood hurriedly, pulling her things together. "Thank you for helping me Hiwatari-kun. I wouldn't have got it done on my own." The blue-haired teen silently assisted her in picking up the materials, opening the door for her when they were finished. The rain was still pouring outside like a waterfall and Risa's face fell. It hadn't been this hard when she'd come! And she didn't even have a free hand to hold her umbrella; one hand full with the bag and the other carrying the new cards, fresh glue preventing them from going in the bag.
Satoshi instantly spotted her dilemma, cool blue eyes taking her problem in calmly.
"Wait." He said simply and ducked back into the apartment. He reappeared a moment later, wearing shoes, and he took her umbrella, opening it over her head. He held it there as the two began to walk through the rain. Risa smiled at him, feeling a blush tint her cheeks. Though it could be the cold, she rationalized.
"Thank you."
Satoshi was silent and Risa, for the second time today, wondered if she might have offended him. It had been rather rude and forward of her...
"Are you mad at me?"
He shook his head slightly, not even pausing to glance at her. Risa tried again.
"Are you unhappy?"
Another shake, smaller this time.
"Are you just thinking about how no one should ever figure out that I talked you into making Valentines' Day cards?"
There was a long pause, then a swift and curt nod, accompanied with the faintest smirk. Risa grinned.
"Well then, I'll make sure no one has a doubt who did all the work! Harada and Hiwatari-kun!"
They were at her house by now and he surrendered the umbrella by the door, Risa bounding inside cheerily.
"Thank you Hiwatari-kun!"
He nodded and started back home, barely feeling the rain as the joint phrase 'Harada and Hiwatari' kept running through his head...
