3: Cry For Me—HATORI x MAYU

"Give my tears back, right now—with interest!"

Well, now she felt stupid. Damn Shigure, always making fun of her and being an insufferable bastard. He'd gone and made her cry—in front of Hatori—for no reason at all other than for his own pleasure. Oh, she'd get him back. She'd get him back real good. He'd never know what hit him.

Hatori must be mad too, but if he is, he isn't showing it. He's smiling. She realizes this, and blushes and can't help but smile back. It's so good to see him smile—she can't pass up the opportunity. So, maybe she could cry for him once in a while, but only if he opened his heart and smiled more often.

He asked her to go eat with him. She didn't want to argue, but looking like this? Oh, he didn't care. He's not the kind of person to judge like that. Maybe that's why Kana loved him so much. She said she'd go, and she'd have a beer. She could almost hear the laugh in his voice when he accused her of drinking in front of the driver.

And maybe he would be okay. Yeah, she could cry for him once in a while if he could laugh for her and smile and just be happy again. Because eventually, they'd be okay too.

Note:
From chapter 57, volume 10. I
don't like Mayu very much except
for as a teacher, oddly enough.
Kana & Hatori are a lot cuter together
than Hatori & Mayu, but I think they'll
probably end up together in the end.
since Kana had to go get married & all.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.
