Thirty Kisses Theme 05 - Ano Sa...

Hayate idly flipped through some of the cards in their holders. He was never one of the artistic types, and with an anniversary coming up, he was in dire straights. The third year anniversary, which was more important than the 2nd anniversary, and even more important than the 1st. Apparently they got more important as they went along.

He had almost narrowed it down to twenty cards when he noticed a familiar face. Mitarashi Anko was standing on the other side of the cards, holding one out in her hand.

"Hey… you know… this is a good one." Hayate tried to take a look, but the woman whisked it from his sight and began reading aloud.

"Thanks for the great sex, because if it didn't happen, this anniversary wouldn't either." Hayate blinked as Anko calmly read out the words. A woman shopping in the other aisle made a disapproving noise. Hayate was silent for a moment.

"Does it really say that?" He asked. Anko looked at him before one of her eyebrows arched.

"Hell no." She smirked, letting out a rich laugh. "You just looked so lost, I couldn't help it." She handed him the card. It was white, with a single red rose across the front. He opened it, reading the words inside. They were… poetic. Very lovely and poetic. Lots of loves and kisses and flowers. Definitely nothing he would have picked out on his own.

"I'm not very poetic." He mentioned, checking the price on the back. Anko nodded.

"I know. But trust me, she'll love it, even if she doesn't think you'd ever be able to rhyme like that." Anko gave him a thumbs up. "See you at the exams." Hayate waved as she left the small store.

She was right. Yuugao loved it.
