Hi! *waves hand*

Here's the white day part of the story… *bows head*

One month have passed since Valentine's Day, it was finally the White Day. Mineral Town was still the same as ever. The boys in Mineral Town that received a chocolate last month all have their White Day presents for the girl they like, except for one, Gray.

Gray's POV

I woke up later than usual; it's already 8:00. Why did I wake up late? Simple. I was thinking of a good present for Claire. I got up from my bed and changed my clothes. I saw Cliff wrapping up something. Before I could ask what that is, Cliff noticed that I was looking.

"Oh, Good morning Gray." Cliff greeted me as he stopped what he was doing.

"Uhnn…" I nodded thinking that maybe he could help me to think of a good present for Claire.

Cliff returned to wrapping the present a while ago. I stood there and watched him, maybe I could see what he was wrapping and this would give me an idea what to give to Claire. He finished wrapping the present up and to my dismay, I didn't see it nor even had a glimpse of it. The thought of asking him came to my mind again, so I followed it.

"…Hey, uhmm… Can I ask what you will give to Ann?" I started.

"I'll make her some pancakes…" Cliff said as he placed the wrapped present on his pocket.

"Pancakes? Then what about that present?" I asked thinking if he's serious or not.

"Oh, this? This is my second present for her." Cliff stated as he took the present from his pocket and showed it to me, and added "It's the perfume she wanted."

"…I see…" I said as I went out of the room and thought "I wonder if Claire likes perfume?"

I exited the Inn and walked to the Blacksmith using my usual route. I saw the Doctor going to same route as me. I wondered if he already has a present for Elli.

"Good morning Gray." He greeted.

"…Uhnn…" I nodded thinking I might as well ask him.

"Would you like to try my new medicine?" He asked as he held a bottle of medicine up.

I was startled by the words 'my new medicine'. I knew it was bad. I backed off a bit and shook my head. The doctor, then, pouted a little and placed the medicine back to his pocket. We continued to walk to the Rose square. As we reach the Rose square, I noticed that we would be heading to different directions and before that could happen, I asked him.

"…So, what will you give to Elli?" I managed to say.

"I'll give her a pair of earring." He answered.

"…I see…" I mumbled, wondering if Claire would like one.

"I'll head this way then, bye." The doctor said as he went to the Beach.

I bid the doctor goodbye and continued to walk to the Blacksmith's. I passed by the Yodel Farm and saw Rick heading to the forest, holding a small box. Rick noticed me and greeted me.

"Good morning." He said.

"…Uhnn…" I nodded and asked "Meeting someone?"

"Yeah… Karen. I promised her a date." He said.

"I see… A date and I present." I said.

"Yes. How about you? What do you plan to give to Claire?" He asked.

"…Well…" I said still thinking what to say.

"Don't tell me, you still haven't got anything for Claire?" He said.

"I have! It's just that-" I was cut off by Rick.

"Ahh! It's already 10:00! I have to go now!" Rick exclaimed and ran to the forest.

I sighed at the thought that he was right, that I still haven't got, nor even thought, of a present for Claire. I continued to walk to the Blacksmith's. As I opened the door, my grandfather was already at the counter. I went by the smelting furnace and thought of what I should give to Claire. My grandfather noticed me doing absolutely nothing and got angry at me.

"Gray! What are you doing, just standing there?!" He yelled.

"Thinking…" I mumbled.

"You should do your job first, before thinking of anything unimportant!"

"…Sure…"

My grandfather continued on lecturing me and after a while, he finally stopped. I was still thinking of what to give to Claire. A perfume? But she looks like someone who won't use something like that unless needed. An earring? But I haven't seen her wear one. A dress? But it may hinder her when she's working. Tools for farming? But she already have those.

"Ughh! I can't think of anything to give her!" I thought out loud.

My grandfather looked at me, surprised, making me say "…sorry…"

He laughed at me and said "If you're thinking for a present to a girl you like, you must think of what would make her happy."

"Happy..? What would make Claire happy?" I thought.

"But if that girl likes you too, it would be easier. Just give her something you made, and she will be happy to receive it." He added.

"…Something I made… That's it!" I thought and said "Thank you grandfather!" as I started working again.

Claire's POV

I was tending my crops alone because the harvest sprites are tending my animals. As I watered the last crop, it came to me that it's almost midday. I stretched my arms and inhaled the fresh air. I'm finally done with everything. I returned to my house and ate my lunch. It was 12:00 when I finished eating. It feels like I forgot something again. I went to the calendar to see what day it today, it was White Day! Why do I always forget about these important dates? As it came to me, I realized that Gray hasn't visited yet. Did he also forget what day it is? This thought made me sulk for a bit. I heard a knock at my door. I stood up quickly and went by the door, before I could open the door, I fixed my appearance just in case I look messy. I opened the door and saw Gray's back standing in front of my door.

"Gray?" I said as I patted his shoulder.

"Hey..." He said as he turned around head down.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, not showing any sign of how happy I am to see him.

"...Just wanted to ask if you're interested in jewelries…" He said still not looking at me.

"Yeah, a little…" I answered.

"…I see… So, like the other girls, you also like jewelries…" He said placing his hand on his chin.

"Hey! What's that suppose to mean?!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry… Sorry… I didn't mean that." He chuckled.

"Geez…" I pouted.

"…Actually, I have something for you." He said as he stopped chuckling.

"For White Day?" I thought as he was searching through his pocket.

"…Here…" He said as handed me a small blue box with white ribbon and said "Thanks for the chocolate cake last Valentine's day." as he smiled.

I took the box from his hands and smiled back at him, making him lower his hat. I opened the box and saw a silver brooch inside it. I took the brooch and smiled at him again.

Gray's POV

Claire smiled as she took the brooch I made inside the box. She seems truly happy to receive that present I gave her. To my surprise, Claire kissed me at my left cheek. I felt my face got hotter at that moment. Claire went back to her original position then lowered her head. I can see a blush from her face.

"Thank you." She said, still not looking at me.

I stood there dumbfounded at what had happened. I saw Claire peeked at my face, making me blush even more. She brightened a bit with a grin on her face. She raised her hand and suddenly took my hat off.

"So, even Gray can have this kind of expression." Claire said as she smiled in amusement.

"C-Claire!" I exclaimed, trying to get my hat back.

Claire laughed as she was waving my hat away from me. I grabbed her left hand making her back away her right hand that was holding my hat. I tried to reach it, but I stopped to kiss her. Claire blushed furiously and dropped my hat to the ground.

"Heh." I said and took my hat from the ground.
Claire hit my back and yelled "I hate you! I hate you! I really hate you!"

I stood up and faced her and then said "Yeah, I really love you too!" as I smiled and wiped the tears in her red cheeks while she smiled sweetly at me.

…the end…

...It's rather short than the first one, but, oh well...
