Chapter 4 – Story

"Where am I?"

Tsubaki opened her eyes and found herself in another person's bed, looking around he recognized that it was Watari's room. She has only been here once or twice but she could tell since there was a giant poster of Leonel Messi on the ceiling right above the bed.

'Why am I on his bed…what the hell is this awful taste in my mouth, WHY AM I WEARING HIS SHIRT AND WHERE ARE MY PANTS?!'

"Oh you're awake," said Watari as he walked in. "Are you feeling okay?"

"W-why wouldn't I be feeling okay?"

"You don't remember anything that happened last night?"

"L-l-last night, what happened last night?" Tsubaki's face now all red from her imagination going wild. This situation feels strangely familiar, boy's shirt and wet hair.

"You fainted and I carried you to my house since it was the closest." Watari confused by why she was so flustered then realizing what she was thinking based on what she was wearing. "I-it's not what you think."

"Then where are my clothes!?" asked Tsubaki angrily before assaulting Watari with punches and kicks.

"GAH I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" yelled Watari as he ran out of the room.

"THAT'S WHAT A GUILTY PERSON WOULD SAY!" yelled Tsubaki as she ran after him.

"AHH!" screamed Watari as a chair flew past his head at mach speed. "NEE-SAN HELP!"

Last night…

"Oh Watari you're finally- who's that on your back?" asked Watari's sister as he bursted through the doors.

"Nee-san help her out, she's got a really high fever and just passed out!"

His house was the closest but the other reason Watari bought her back to his house was because his sister was in her last year of medical school and just happened to be home on break.

"Get her on your bed; I'll go grab some towels and ice." After laying down Tsubaki on his bed, his sister came in with a bowl of water, towels, ice, medicine and a thermometer.

"Holy shit 103 F!"

"Can you help her?" asked Watari, his voice filled with worry.

"All we can do is to help her cool her fever down with some ice and medicine." She looked at him and saw him all tense, his hands clutched together. She has seen him nervous before big games but never as tense as this.

"Hey, she's going to be fine, 103 F is bad but it's not life threatening if we treat it fast," said his sister giving him a hard slap on the back.

"Alright," said Watari slightly relieved and immediately dumping the ice in the water and soaking a towel.

Her cheeks were red and her breathing was heavy, her face in a look of discomfort. "I told you we had to go," said Watari kneeling by the bed and burying his head on the cover.

"Watari…" His head shot up, she seemed half conscious and her eyes were barely opened. "Where…"

"Shh just drink this and rest for now." He took the medicine from his sister and supported Tsubaki so that she can sit up a bit.

"What…the hell…" said Tsubaki as she coughed after the first sip.

"This is…that super awesome energy drink I was telling you about, you'll feel so good after you."

"Are…you lying?"

"I would never lie to you," said Watari as he placed a hand over his heart. After Tsubaki forced the medicine down she went back to sleep. Watari and his sister closed the light and went downstairs.

"Did you eat dinner yet? If not go I got leftovers for you on the table."

"Alright, let me just call her parents before they start worrying." After the phone call he sat down at the dinner table and got ready before his sister pulled the takeout away from him.

"To eat this you have to tell me who that girl is," said his sister teasingly.

"S-she's just a friend; now give me my food I'm starving," said Watari his face turning red.

"Girlfriend?" asked his sister analyzing his face carefully. "Crush? Crush, that's it!"

"Okay, okay now please shut up," said Watari as he began stuffing his face while his sister smiled victoriously.

"You know, you shouldn't make promises like that to a girl," said his sister as she sat down in chair across from him. "We are very sensitive creatures."

"Sensitive? Oh, then you must not be a girl."

"Hey, hey I'm trying to help you out here."

"I think I can get girls on my own."

"So, does that girl like another guy?" He coughed as food went down the wrong tube, it was one thing for her to be book smart but being able to see through people is a bit too much. "Want my help?"

"Alright fine, what do you have to suggest?" In all honesty he didn't think his sister really had any good ideas that he hasn't though of but he has failed a lot these past years so he's up for some new ideas.

"Okay here's what you do, you want to go up to her and say something like 'You know why you should date me? …Because I'm stronger than you', that'll work like a charm."

"Yeah good idea, if I want to get arrested." Watari finished the food and got up leaving his sister that was trying not to laugh. The two decided to go check on Tsubaki again to make sure she was okay.

"Her fever has cooled down a bit but she'll need a constant change of towel, and clothe as well. We can't have her stay in those wet clothe she has on right now and while we're at it we should change the wet sheets as well." Watari picked up Tsubaki and his sister took out the wet sheets and replaced it with new ones.

"Alright I'll-"

"I'll wash the sheets and you can change her clothe." Before what she said even registered in Watari's mind she went out and locked the door.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

"I'm not letting you out until you change her clothe," said his sister, her voice fading signaling that she's walking away. His sister is probably the only person in the world that could make him this angry and the only sister in the world that would make her brother change another girl's clothe whom she barely knows.

"Just what am I going to do?" said Watari putting his face in his hand as he turned to the sleeping Tsubaki. This was going to be a dangerous task, if she were to wake up while he was undressing her there will be hell to pay. Not to mention he's locked in this room so there will be no escape… He opened his closet and looked for something for her to wear and decided on a simple sport t-shirt and a pair of shorts.

'Maybe I can trick my sister in opening the door,' thought Watari, he couldn't do this; this was wrong in so many different levels.

"Nee-san open the door, I did it."

"Ohhhh, alright I'll open the door." Watari smiled at how he was able to trick his sister and prepared to run out as soon as the door opens. "As soon as you send me a picture."

"W-what the hell she'll kill me if she finds out!"

"Don't worry I'll delete it."

"That doesn't make it any better!"

"Please don't make me do this," said Watari after a moment of silence.

"You didn't really change her clothes, did you? You got to think harder if you want to trick me."

After sitting there for another half an hour, he realized that either he changes her clothes or wager that she'll wake up before he starves to death. He was favoring the wager until thoughts started to surface in his head which made him shake his head furiously.

'No, no, no don't think about that stuff.'

"Hey stop taking your sweet time or else her cold is going to get worse with those wet clothes!"

"What? You never told me that…AHH SCREW IT!" There were way too many things on his mind. A huge battlefield waging between what to do so he decided to just stop thinking and start doing.

"Don't kill me for this," said Watari before he taking off her jacket. The sleeping medicine that was in her drink before was really effective since she didn't seem to be bothered whatsoever. Her shirt came next, and after several attempts in trying to take it off with his eyes closed he decided to just do it with his eyes open and get it over with quickly.

"I swear this is done with good intentions," said Watari to the sleeping Tsubaki as he started to pull her shirt up. Face flushed and his heart beating a hundred beats per second he slowly revealed her stomach, and finally as he swallowed hard he took off her shirt. Her skin was looked fairly smooth and she had slightly defined abs, probably from all the baseball training she does. It took his breath away, he has dated good looking girls before but she's just so much more.

'Sport bra huh? Pretty se- wait what the hell am I thinking about right now!' After getting the dirty thoughts out of his head he slipped his t-shirt over her head and pulled it down. It was way too big for her and she looked kind of silly but at the same time she looked cute in Watari's eyes.

"Next time you're on my bed it's going to be willingly," whispered Watari as he patted her head with a blush.

"Oh well if it isn't Arima-kun!" said Kaori's mom cheerfully as he walked into the pastry shop. "Here to get some caneles for Kaori?"

"Yes," said Kousei shyly, it felt weird talking to her parents now that they were dating. He had a slight feeling of nervousness and worry that they didn't find him good enough for their daughter.

"Well if it isn't Arima-kun," said Kaori's dad with a slightly more aggressive tone as he walked in.

"H-hi," said Kousei nervously, the last time he saw Kaori's dad he wanted to kill him for trying to kiss his daughter.

"The caneles aren't done yet so you might have to wait a little," said Kaori's mom then an idea popped in her head. "Ah Arima-kun why don't you try preparing the caneles for Kaori, I'm sure she'd appreciate the gesture!"

"E-eh but I've never baked any sweets in my whole life…"

"There's a first time for everything, my husband will show you how."

It was quite hard for someone that has never even made cookies before to suddenly cook such a complicated French desert but nevertheless Kousei gave it a go. His few attempts in pouring the batter into the battered and sugared caneles moulds were disastrous, he always poured too much in or too little. Finally after baking one batch and tasting it he realized that he sprinkled salt instead of sugar, the taste of the bittersweet shell and salty filling was not a good combination.

"I didn't know you could make them this bad…" said Kaori's dad after tasting one. He was now worried that his daughter might get a stomach ache after eating one of these. He looked over at Kousei and saw that he was looked pretty defeated as well. 'Well can't blame him, it's his first time baking.'

"Would you like me to-"

"Please, one more batch, I think I got it now," said Kousei with determination, he's played so many difficult piano pieces before that seemed impossible, and baking decent caneles can't possibly be as hard. He didn't want Kaori to eat something bad but he also wanted to make her something that would make her happy. She's done a lot for him; the least he could do is bake her favorite treat for her.

"That's the spirit!" said Kaori's dad with a smile and gave Kousei a hard pat on the back which made him stumble forward.

"Geez what took you so long," said Kaori as Kousei walked in.

"Sorry I was making caneles for you."

"Making?" said Kaori her face lighting up.

"Yeah, I made this myself," said Kousei with a sense of pride.

"Let me try one," said Kaori as she reached into the box and grabbed one. The shape looked a bit big but other than that it looked normal. She took a bit out of it, and after a few seconds of chewing she started laughing.

"There is way too much filling in her; also how just how much sugar did you dump in here?"

"I-I'm sorry," said Kousei embarrassingly. "They're not good are they?"

"Nope," said Kaori without missing a beat which made Kousei a little depressed. He tried really hard and compared to his first batch he thought this was actually pretty good.

"You don't have to eat them, if you don't like them," said Kousei as Kaori finished her third one.

"Who said I didn't like them?" said Kaori with a smile which cheered Kousei up. "But you're going to have to help me finish these."

"Alright," said Kousei as he grabbed one and sat down. "These really aren't that bad."

"Okay, whatever you say." The two of them laughed while eating the caneles that were too sweet. The taste wasn't what mattered; it was the moment, the effort put into those caneles that made all the difference.

"Ah I'm so full, thanks for making them for me," said Kaori.

"I'm happy you liked them," said Kousei with a smile.

"Come sit beside me," said Kaori with a blush on her face as she patted the spot on the bed beside her.

"E-eh, are you sure?" asked Kousei which was answered by a nod, his face now equally as red. He took off his shoes and got on the bed and sat beside her. She then leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Kousei, tell me a story."

"A story? Uhh okay…" Kousei sat there and thought about what story to tell, after a while he started.

"There was once a very beautiful girl with flowing blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes who was an amazing violinist."

"Sounds like someone I know," said Kaori with a smile.

"She loved to play the sheet music her way; she didn't even let the composer boss her around. Her music impressed many people and even pigeons would come flocking around her when she played. One day she met a boy who was a pianist, but something special about the boy was that he couldn't hear the notes he played. She selfishly asked the boy to be her accompanist and even after the boy refused she stubbornly pressed on. She was so annoying." This earned him a playful punch on the side which made Kousei smile.

"The girl helped the boy to love playing the piano again, and the boy fell in love with the girl." Kaori blushed lightly.

"One day she got lost in a forest, all alone, she cried out but nobody could hear her except for the pigeons. The pigeons quickly flew to the boy and told him that the girl was lost. The boy then pushed his heavy piano outside at the edge of the forest and started playing to help guide the girl out of the forest. The boy played for hours and hours, as the sun started setting the people of the town passed by him and told him that the girl was gone but he kept on playing. Finally the girl found her way out of the forest and saw the boy who was still playing. The girl went and sat down beside the boy and leaned her head against his shoulder." At that point Kousei stopped which made Kaori raise her head up.

"What happens next?"

"What do you think happens next?"

"I think…" said Kaori looking into Kousei's eyes, "the girl puts a hand on the boy's face and turns him towards her." As she speaks she puts a hand on Kousei's face and inched a bit closer. The dark ocean blue eyes stared into the sky azure ones, both of them leaning closer and closer. Finally their warm lips locking together perfectly, eyes closed, sharing one breath. Time stops and suddenly it feels like they are sitting on piano stool with a black piano in front of them, at the edge of a forest, under a dark moonlit sky. They separate in need of air and time starts back up again and they are back on the hospital bed.

"I liked that story."
