I have never once been in-love with a real person. So it's very difficult for me to write about romance. XDDD Anime guys rule my love life. Because real people suck. XDDD Ahaha.

Chapter 23 – A promise
"I like you." Kise said to Yachiyo. She looked away and stood up.
"Your fever might have affected your thinking, you should sleep."
But Kise grabbed her hand and said; "I'm not joking."
"Please let go." She said. She wasn't looking at him. "No. I won't let you go. I like you, Meganekko." Kise said. She was shocked and didn't know what to say. His hand tightened the grip on hers. And she lost it.
"STOP SAYING YOU LIKE ME ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU IDIOTIC IKEMEN BASTARD!" She was red and furious. But mostly embarrassed.
Kise was terrified. But he was red too.
And then a sudden phone call for Yachiyo.
She answered it, then her whole demeanor and voice changed. "Hello, Tetsuya?... Yeah, I'm fine… I'm at my apartment right now… I already ate dinner… Please tell Auntie that I won't be there tomorrow… I, have some things to do… Yeah, I'll be sleeping soon… Okay… Thanks!... Ja ne~" Then she hung up and sighed.
"You need to go home, don't you?" Kise asked. She sat down and faced him. "Nope." She answered. "You lied to him." He said. "Because of me?"
"Tetsuya can easily tell if I'm lying or not. And he let me slide, so it's fine." She said.
"After all I told you, why aren't you leaving yet? Aren't you uncomfortable?" Kise asked. She didn't answer. "Please go home. You don't have to stay here. It's already—"
"GOD DARNIT, IKEMEN. YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO LEAVE AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO GO?" she shouted angrily. Then her voice softened. "Even if you make me feel awkward a hundred times, I won't leave an idiotic sick person all alone."
"But, Megane—"
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE MY FRIEND AREN'T YOU!? NOW DO AS I SAY AND SLEEP!" she shouted again.
Kise was shocked and then he lay down. "So… friend, huh? I guess that's a good start. Ahahaha. I'll try and change that."
"You are an idiot." She said in a deadpan voice.
"I feel happy though." Kise said.
"Oi, you're supposed to be sick. Not annoying. Stop talking like that." She said.
"Tell me. Do I have a chance with you?" Kise asked.
"I told you to stop talking like that!" she scolded in her evil Medusa form.
"Ahaha, sorry." Kise laughed.
"Seriously, you should sleep now." Yachiyo said.
"I'm sorry. I can't sleep right now. I don't want to waste any moment." Kise said while smiling. "Though if you hold me hand, I will sleep~"
Her eyes glowed red and she was about to punch him. Kise already had his eyes close because of it.
But instead of hitting him, she held his hand instead. "Okay. Now sleep." She said while blushing.
"I don't think I can fall asleep now." Kise said while blushing too.
"Ikemen, your fever is too high that you think you like me." Yachiyo said in her plain voice.
"I told you, it's real." Kise said again. "Why don't you believe me?"
She paused and looked at him. "Are you sure? If you get better tomorrow morning; will you still like me? Will you remember?"
Kise held her hand tighter. "Promise."
…
Kise woke up and Yachiyo was already gone. It was already morning.
"She must have left when I was sleeping." He thought. He went down to the kitchen and there, in front of the stove was her.
Yachiyo had her hair in a ponytail again. Then she turned around a little. "Oh, you're awake. Good morning." Kise rubbed his eyes and said; "G-good morning."
She turned to the stove again and asked; "Do… do you remember what happened yesterday?"
Kise smiled and walked up to her slowly.
"I guess you don't remember." She said in a sad voice. Then suddenly Kise hugged her from behind.
"I promised. Of course I remember. Daisuki dayo." He said softly. He let go and she turned around.
Then she checked his temperature using her hand. "Your fever is gone." Then she paused. "But brain damage can't be measured by temperature anyway."
Kise laughed and pinched her cheek. "You're real."
She then pinched both of his cheeks hard. He let go of her face because of the pain and screamed; "OUCHHH!" She smiled and said; "Real enough."
Meanwhile at Tetsuya's house.
"Okaa-san, Yachiyo won't come over. She has a date with Kise-kun." Tetsuya said in a deadpan voice.
"Oh? She told you?" his mother asked.
"She doesn't need to tell me." Tetsuya replied.
….
Back to Kise and Yachiyo:
"You have lots of movies. And very different genres." Yachiyo commented. She and Kise are at the living room.
"Do you like movies?" Kise asked.
"Hmn… You could say that." She answered.
"Note taken: On our first date we'd go watch a movie~" Kise said happily. But he was hit by a flying throw pillow. "Oh my, the pillows have come to life." Yachiyo said innocently.
"I never thought getting hit by a pillow could be so painful." Kise said in a teary face. "That's so violent. Ahaha. But also kinda cute~"
"Aren't you embarrassed when you say those things?" she asked in an irritated voice.
"Well, actually. I'm always embarrassed around you. I just want to say everything I think. Since I already told you how I feel, I don't need to hide anything." Kise said in a smiling face. And she slightly blushed.
"Oh right! Speaking of not hiding anything~ Wait here~" Kise ran upstairs and got back in mere seconds. He held a medium sized light blue box up in the air and enthusiastically shouted; "Tada~"
"You look like an idiot right now." Yachiyo sighed in a depressing manner.
"Lookie here~ I kept some important things here." Kise sat down next to Yachiyo in the couch. Then he opened the box. He took out a milk carton.
"Eh? That milk carton." Yachiyo looked surprised.
"I kept many remembrance about you in here." Kise said proudly with a little blush.
"That's weird." She commented.
"You gave me this remember? It is the first ever thing you gave me." Kise explained. Then he took out a tissue paper. "When you first ate the sandwich I gave you, I kept its tissue." Then he took out a handkerchief. "When you first cried in front of me, I wiped your tears with these, remember?" Then he took out a piece of torn paper. "When we switched bags, I tore one page from your notebook." Then lastly, a small piece of glass. "When you broke your glasses, I kept this one part."
He looked at Yachiyo.
"Isn't the milk soiled?" she asked.
Kise made a crying expression ; "I *sniffs* kept these things *sniffs* And that's the only thing you could say? *sniffs* "
"Uhm… I can't really think of anything to say…" she shyly admitted.
"Well… how about 'That's so sweet, Ryouta~" or 'Yes I'll be your kanojo~' or—"
Then he was hit by another flying pillow. "Oh my, the pillows are haunted. They seem to hate you." She said in the most innocent manner possible.
"You're so violent!" Kise wiped his tears. "I like it more when you were drunk."
"Eh? Speaking of that…" she gave a deadly glare to him and asked; "What did I do back then?"
Kise sweated and panicked. "Uhmm… well… complimented me."
"Eh? That's it? *sigh* Good, I thought I did something weird." She sighed in relief.
"Actually… you told me that I was strong, smelled good and that I have soft hair." Kise continued.
She instantly blushed a little. "Uhmm…"
"You also called me Ryouta, and you made me call you Yachiyo." He added.
She turned redder. "Stop…"
"And constantly hugged me, then you kissed my forehead." He finished.
She flustered so much that a steam cloud formed above her head. "SHUT UP!"
"Ahahhahaahahaa." Kise laughed out loud.
She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him close. She was trying to seem tough. But it was the complete opposite. They both froze when they realized that their faces were only 2 inches apart. Kise moves a few strands of hair away from her eyes and smiled. His and her faces were both red tomatoes.
Then she head-butted him.
Kise shrieked in pain. "Jeez! I thought we were having a moment!"
"I will kill you if you ever do that again." She said coldly.
"You started it! And doesn't your head hurt a bit?" he asked.
"Not a single bit." She answered.
"Monster." He said in a terrified voice.
"Glad you know. So, do you still like a monster?" she asked.
"I promised didn't I?" he said. His face was a tiny bit blushing and his smile was bright.
But instead she said. "Weirdo."
"I am a weirdo? Ahaha." Kise laughed. "But I am your weirdo."
"Oi oi, since when did I claim you?" she gave him an annoyed look.
"You don't need to claim. You already own me~"
"That's the silliest thing I heard."
"Why thank you for that compliment~"
"You're welcome."
