"We are dating now! We fall in love with each other!".
And Kazuha gaped, widely.
"Honey, even though you always look beautiful and charming, but I hope you close your mouth now. Don't let any flies enter, hahaha ..." And the prince's words were greeted by laughter from their audience.
Feeling humiliated, Kazuha immediately closed her mouth at the same time, while, uh, gritting her teeth.
The heck he's talking about? Oh, she will kill him after this!
But then, she changed her mind.
He wants to play? Alright! Then, she's ready to serve! Two can always play better!
In the style of a spoiled girlfriend, it is Kazuha's turn to put her arm around Heiji's waist, making him jump, not only in surprise, but also in tickled.
"Heiji, why did you disclose it to the media this fast? Isn't it after this we want to go to the amusement park? In fact, I really enjoy our ... secret date!". She ended with a little sigh and half whispered mysteriously, he got goose bumps.
Inwardly, Kazuha burst out laughing when she saw the surprised face of Heiji, who was now as red as a tomato because he didn't expect he would get a counterattack from her. Plus, she did it better. Sweeter, more spoiled, more ... flirtatious. In fact, she gives an additional bonus, she even acted, making her face sullen adorable.
Ha! Take that! How about the taste of your own medicine, you spoiled brat prince?
But what she didn't expect, Heiji instead ate the bait, willingly. Now holding her hand, he announced proudly "Well then, Ladies! It seems that my girlfriend can't wait to continue our date so, please excuse us". Then he immediately pulled Kazuha with him, who was now hobbling along his footsteps. He seemed to walk casually, while she was half running. Damn, why are his legs so long whereas hers are short compared to his?
But apparently, and unfortunately for Kazuha, the surprise didn't stop there. Heiji turned and winked at the girls "Please give us some privacy. Don't follow us!".
Gosh, this is really totally super embarrassing! She really wants to kick his ass!
Despite regretting her decision because she played in his game, which unfortunately, Heiji also reads this situation, it was too late for her. There's nothing Kazuha could do but continue to pretend and follow him, but not for a long time.
After she was convinced that they were no longer being followed, Kazuha subtly pulled her hand from Heiji's grasp, which unfortunately, didn't work. Feeling that Kazuha was slowly pulling her hand, Heiji tightened his grip.
"If you want to trick them, you have to do it totally!".
Even Kazuha hadn't had the chance to open her mouth when Heiji looked at her strangely. "Though I didn't expect you to voluntarily confess to being my girlfriend. Tell me ..."
Unconsciously, she gulped. Uh-oh, wrong move!
"Could it be ... you have a crush on me?".
Okay, it's time to rectify this misunderstanding!
"Look Heiji, I'm just ..."
"Aah, the heck did I just ask? Didn't you say it yourself, soooo ..." He deliberately said his last word in a long, irritating tone, before he finally winked at the princess. "Wherever my girl wants to go!".
Sigh with resignation, Kazuha could only obediently follow when, again Heiji pulled her, this time he walked more slowly, somehow he knew that she was having trouble following his long steps.
Thank God she couldn't see his face, because Heiji couldn't stop smiling. This time they're really dating, OMG! Well, where are they going now? Hmm ...
Oh, by the way, when Heiji called her his girl, Kazuha didn't argue at all, so, could it be, he guess correctly? That she likes him ...
"...-ji? ...-eiji? HEIJI, WATCH OUT!".
"Huh?".
DOEENNGGG!
So shocked, no one spoke. One second, two seconds ...
"God dammit! You stupid electric pole! Who told you to stand here, hah?!".
"Heiji!".
Kazuha only needs to call him once, in a tone of voice that Heiji somehow immediately understood, that he must close his mouth now. Did he just swear?
"Ah, I ..."
Seeing her facial expression, yes, it seems like he just swore.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't say something inappropriate like that!".
She doesn't like people who are rude. Beside, they are in a public place. He's a prince and a public figure! Cameras always follow him! What will tomorrow's news say about the swear words he said earlier?
However, even though at first she was angry, but seeing him, especially his forehead, which was now starting to getting red, inevitably, Kazuha became feeling sorry. "Let's go home. It's getting dark". She said softly while gently rubbing Heiji's flushed forehead, which made his whole face really blush now.
"Wha-what are you doing?" He asked, stuttering, but also didn't mean to dismiss her hand from his face. That's a rare opportunity!
"When I was a kid, whenever I fell, my mom always did the same thing". She stared at Heiji's eyes with a look of amusement. "Unless, she always ends it with a kiss at the end, then said everything would be fine, which I won't do to you!".
"But you're doing it now!".
Her eyes are now narrowed with a disparaging look. "I mean the kiss. I won't kiss you!".
Of course Heiji knows what she means. He just can't stand not teasing her. His mother used to do it too. Long ... long time ago, until Heiji was big enough to feel uncomfortable about his mother kissing him.
"You made me think of her".
"Who? Your mother?" Heiji remembers, her mother is a crown princess from the empire with a complicated and dangerous political situation, so she must send her daughter to live with her ex-husband, who is also a prince from a smaller, but much safer and more peaceful country.
"Mm-hmm. I haven't visited her for a long time". She shrugged. "Oh, well, I'll call her later. C'mon, let's go home. We still have homework to do".
There's a bit of disappointment when her delicate hand left his face.
Hey! His forehead still aching, still needed rubbing! Since he was wanting to be spoiled, intentionally and with a rather excessive style, Heiji spontaneously rubbed his forehead as soon as Kazuha's hand finished doing it.
"Don't rub it anymore or later it will become a wound!".
"But, it still hurts!" Kazuha rolled her eyes to hear Heiji whining like a child. Either because it's too rubbed or indeed the bruise starts to appear, clearly, now on Heiji's forehead there's a pink ball.
Well, if she can see it clearly, then other people can see it too. And that will add to the length of the story by those nosy reporters, seasoned with flavorings ...
Hhh ... She'd better do something. She knows how it feels, she also doesn't like being a joke in the media. It's ... horrible!
She looked around, ignoring all of cameras that kept photographing them, until she found what she thought she was looking for.
"Come here!" Although he obeyed, inwardly, Heiji wondered where Kazuha was pulling him.
They stopped in front of a shop that sold clothes, t-shirts and other accessories for boys.
"Hold this for a while!" She handed the doll to Heiji then enter the shop.
"Oi, Kazuha! Wait! I said men aren't supposed to carry dolls! Besides, where are you going?".
Fuming voicing his disapproval, Heiji followed Kazuha into the shop.
"Oi, Ahou! Do you hear me?". He was getting annoyed because Kazuha turned out to ignore him. What the hell?
Still ignored, Heiji is really running out of patience now. "Oi, Kazuha ahou! Have you suddenly become deaf? I asked you a question ..."
Pluk!
"Huh? Eh? What is this?".
Kazuha looked at him as if he was the stupidest person in the world. "Uh, it's called a cap?".
Realizing the mistake of his question, Heiji tried to defend himself. "Ya I know this is a cap! I'm not blind, thank you very much! What I mean is, why are you putting this cap on my head?".
Heiji took the cap from his head and studied it. There's a SAX writing, neatly embroidered on the front of it.
Kazuha frowned "You don't like it?". According to her, it was the best model there, but well, everyone had their own tastes, she wasn't surprised. "If so, then choose whichever you like, I'll buy it for you!".
Not expecting at all, Heiji was only able to stun for a moment. "You'll buy me this cap?".
He repeated her words like a fool. Unfortunately, not only she missed seeing a red hue on his face, but she also failed to catch his nervous tone that was actually clearly heard. Or, she's just simply ignorant.
"Yes. Surely you don't want to walk home with a pink ball on your forehead, do you? Tomorrow you'll be a joke in the media! Now, hurry up and pick a cap that you like!" She just answered blindly while walking to the cashier.
"B-But we go home by car!" Like a child following his mother, Heiji trailed Kazuha to the cashier, carrying the cap in his right hand and Kazuha's doll in his left.
Feeling Heiji was behind her, Kazuha turned to see which cap he had finally chosen.
"Same choice?".
"Huh? Uh, yeah. I like this one".
Because you chose it ...
But of course, Heiji only said the last sentence inwardly.
Secretly and silently, Heiji sang out loud. Kazuha just bought him a cap! This is not a dream, right? He is not dreaming, is he?
"Looks like it will be interesting if I can read your mind! What are you thinking, to make you drool like that? Are you hungry?".
How shocked Heiji was when it turned out that Kazuha had caught himself imagining ...
Wait! Until he drooled, she said? Dear God, his pride was destroyed!
Luckily Kazuha did not continue teasing him. She was busy stuffing the change into her wallet. Maybe she believes he's hungry.
Heck, come to think about it, he's really hungry now and apparently his stomach had the same thoughts, it voiced its hunger, making Kazuha who was busy arranging the contents of her bag, laughed amused without looking at him. Heiji can only sigh in resignation. What else can he do?
"Let's go home! I'll make you spicy fish soup for dinner".
It sounds tempting and makes him even more hungry. However, Heiji was sweating cold, his heart was beating fast, when with confidence, Kazuha put her arm around his and pulled him away.
Did she not know if his elbow was now stuck to her chest?
"Heiji?!".
"Ay-Ya ... Hai?" He finished! Kazuha knows that he was ...
"Thank you for accompanying me this afternoon, it's really fun! I'm ... glad!". Heiji could feel he would melt just by looking at her smile.
"And stop glaring at my breast, you pervert!".
Darn it!
Heiji is happy.
He is very very happy now, he can't stop smiling!
He didn't even nag and sulk like a child when his mother called to say that she wouldn't go home tonight. Somehow, Heiji had a premonition that his mother had deliberately not returned home tonight.
Not only because he was so happy with their 'date', he was also satisfied that he had eaten until he was full! He eats up to three rice bowls! Not his fault, actually. Kazuha's spicy fish soup is amazing! Even the cuisine of the palace's head chef, wasn't as delicious as she made!
He took his SAX cap, which Kazuha bought for him, and looked at it while smiling to himself.
Ah! What a day to be grateful for! Hopefully tomorrow will be better ...
Immediately, his eyes widened when he saw his school bag and a pile of homework on his desk, which he still hadn't even touched.
God! How can he forget! What should he do? It was late at night, he was sleepy and not interested in doing his homework!
But if he doesn't do his homework ...
Heiji smiled when suddenly a brilliant idea crossed his brain, which was actually ready to sleep.
Didn't Kazuha also have the same homework?
Well, he knew it was cheating, but the situation was urgent. He doesn't have the energy to think anymore! Moreover, the homework are math, history and Japanese literature! What? There's also homework to compose in French? Why in hell did he take French subjects? He must've been drunk at that time!
Hhh ... There's no choice, he will go to Kazuha's room! After all, it could be a reason to visit her tonight, ehehehe ...
Hey, don't think lewd first! He'll only visit her to copy her homework, he swears! Even though, yeah, his face ... didn't say so ...
Heiji sneaks like a thief in his own house. Several guards and servants saw him with a wondered look, but of course, they didn't dare say anything. They ignored, or pretended not to see the prince and Heiji did the same.
When he finally arrived at the front door of her room, Heiji exhaled loudly, he was nervous.
"Well Heiji, now you have to make up the right reason for her to let you in and copy her homework ... WHOAAA! What the hell are you doing?! You make me almost get a heart attack!".
Of course Heiji was very surprised. He didn't even have the chance to knock on the door, when suddenly the door was wide open and Kazuha, with a sleepy face but her hand still holding a pencil, appeared before him.
Kazuha also seemed as shocked as he was, holding her chest with her free hand. "I thought there was a peeper!".
Heiji immediately glared in amazement.
Wow, amazing! Kazuha apparently also has ninja's ears.
"What about you? What are you doing here? I believe this is not the right time to visit ..."
"Actually, this is precisely the very right moment!" With a silly face, Heiji lifted the books in his hand while smiling wryly and innocently.
"Help me?".
"Wow, I don't believe this! Ya, actually, I believe because I see it with my own eyes! I mean, how can you do this homework this fast?". Heiji now is copying her historical homework. Mathematics and Japanese literature are finished. Smooth without obstacles, like driving on the highway.
"Wait, Heiji! Did you just copy it, all of them? Seriously? Shouldn't the homework must be done by yourself?".
"Ah, don't be stingy, Kazuha! For this time, I demand that you allow me to copy your homework! Sharing is caring! Geez, by the way, how can your knowledge of Japanese history be this good? You're not even Japanese!".
"You don't believe me when I tell you that I'm smarter than you!".
Heiji spontaneously glanced at Kazuha in disgust, but challenged back by Kazuha, she raised an eyebrow. In the end, he gave up. He shook his head then continued writing.
Minutes later, Heiji slammed his pencil as he exclaimed triumphantly "Woo-hoo, I'm done! Now, the last homework is ..."
Heiji searched around the table, until finally he found what he was looking for, which was actually still being scribbled by Kazuha. He just snatched it away from her, made her shriek softly in surprise.
"Wait, Heiji! I'm not finished it yet!".
"Writing in French. Let's see, what is this genius princess writing ..."
"Give it back! Don't read it! Heiji, did you hear me?".
Even though he doesn't like French subjects much, but Heiji, of course, is more than intelligent to be able to interpret what Kazuha wrote in French.
Au revoir, Kenshin ... (Goodbye, Kenshin).
Je ne pourrai jamais dire à quel point tu es spécial pour moi ... (I will never be able to say how special you are to me).
Et combien je t'aime ... (And how much I love you).
And suddenly, everything went dark ...
For him.
