Me: Here is your update! I hope you enjoy!

"Kuuga? Kuuga!" I said as I slowly recovered from the fall. That's when I realized I was sitting on top of Kuuga. He wasn't answering me. I quickly checked his pulse, to check he was still breathing. He was still breathing, but he was out cold. I started shaking him.

"What?" He said crabby that I had woke him up. "I was resting."

"Oh. Sorry. I thought that I had hurt you." He got up, no problem.

"Phew! You're okay!"

"You're not hurt either."

"Come on! Let's finish the gingerbread house!" I say happily.

"Yeah, we should."

We finish baking and decorating the gingerbread, and we put it in the fridge in the gym, because that's where the party is held. We leave, then go to the gazebo by the forest to chat. We bring two cups of chocolat chaud, and a plate of sweets that we made earlier.

"Um, Kuuga?"

"Yeah?"

"Since you don't have any place to go home for Christmas, you can come over to my place." I say awkwardly.

"Sure! We could also practice for the Grand Prix."

"Okay. Kuuga?"

"What?"

"Do you actually love me?"

"What kind of a question is that? Of course! Why?"

"Because you're coming over and I'm debating whether I should tell my parents or not."

"Tell them if you want to."

"Thanks." I say, moving closer and hugging him. He blushes, then puts his arm protectively around me.

"What are you guys doing? Going on a date?" I hear someone say. He comes out. He looks like a third-year. "Trash like you shouldn't be in the Grand Prix, so I'll take care of you real quick." He cracks his knuckles together. He first strikes Kuuga multiple times on the cheeks, then moves forward to me. Right when he's about to hit me, Kuuga moves in front of me, and takes a blow to the shoulder. "What are you? A knight in shining armor?" The older student says, while throwing Kuuga to the side. I try and run over to him, but he says,

"Stay away Aoi!" I watch in horror as the boy kicks him in the stomach, back, and arms multiple times, until the point where he is coughing up blood. The boy leaves and I run over to Kuuga.

"Kuuga! Kuuga, wake up!" His eyes remain closed, but he says something inaudible to the ear. "Kuuga..." I say as I touch his bruised face.

"Ow." He says.

"...Just wake up and be okay." I say with tears in my eyes, moving forward to kiss him. I brush our lips together, and I feel a spark between us. He wakes up, blushing. I turn a beet red.

"Aoi..." He mumbles.

"I'll take you to my room for now, since Kuyuki went home, then I'll tell Sensei what happened." I say, slinging his arm onto my shoulder, giving him as much support as I possibly can. We limp towards my dorm. I explain to the dorm master about what happened, then she allows Kuuga access to my dorm. I lay him on my bed, and take off his jacket. I take off my jacket as well.

"Can you undress yourself in the bathroom?" I ask.

"Yeah, I think." He says, then tries to limp to the bathroom, but trips. I catch him, and help him to the bathroom, and realize that I have to change him. I blush at the thought of seeing him naked.

"Looks like I'm going to have to do it. I'll change you till you're in your boxers, alright?" I say squeamishly. I start taking off his blazer, which is covered in a thick coat of dirt. I leave it on the rug. Then, I start unbuttoning his dress shirt, bottom to top, till I see his beat up face. I'm blushing madly. I slowly take that off, seeing that one sleeve is ripped. That means his blazer is ripped too, and he has a shallow scratch on his arm. Here comes the bad part. I undo his belt, and take off his pants. I feel so awkward. A pant leg is also needing mending, with a cut on his leg. I get him to turn around. I stare at the bruises on his shoulder, back, and the cut on his belly. I know he has to shower, but he can't do that without me.

"I can shower on my own, you know?" He comments.

"How did you know I was thinking about that?" I ask.

"'Cuz you were turning green." Kuuga said.

"Oh. Okay, I'll go get a change of clothes from your dorm." I say as I walk out the door.

I run to Kuuga's dorm, after telling the head, of course. I take a suitcase, and stuff two armfuls of clothing inside. I run back to my dorm.

When I reach my dorm, I'm glad to see hear the shower stopped, meaning that Kuuga is safe. I grab a T-shirt, a pair of pants, and a pair of boxers.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I got your clothes."

"Ok." I head inside, shutting my eyes, and preparing for the worst.

"Aoi, you can open your eyes! I wrapped a towel around my lower half." He assures me.

"Oh." I say, opening my eyes. I hand him the clothes. "Here. I'll clean you up after you get your underwear on." I state.

"Yes ma'am." Kuuga says, a glint of humor in his beautiful caramel eyes. I close my eyes, and Kuuga says, "Done!" He is wearing only boxers, but I somehow don't mind.

"Hey, Kuuga?" I say as I patch him up.

"Yeah?"

"Let's go to my house tomorrow."
