A new goal

by Sailor MH

Natsuki walked away from the cemetery after just visiting her grandparents's grave to bring flowers.

Finally, after walking along the city sidewalks, she went to a shopping mall, and saw Sasuke there, who bought the A December Bride DVD that Natsuki had mentioned earlier.

"Hey, senpai," Natsuki said, walking in front of Sasuke, and saw that Sasuke was wearing the scarf that Natsuki had given him, which made Natsuki happy.

"Are you Christmas shopping?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm just hanging out," Natsuki said.

"By the way, here's my phone number, since I couldn't give you my number before," Sasuke gave Natsuki his number written on a piece of paper, who put it in the zipper pocket of her winter jacket, and zipped the said pocket.

"Thank you," Natsuki said, and then started walking around the store doing some grocery shopping, and then went home to make some meatloaf, which she ate later.

"I can't believe senpai bought, that movie I suggested earlier," Natsuki thought later, watching TV in her living room while sitting on the couch in her living room.

Suddenly, Natsuki's phone rang, and she picked it up to see that it was Sasuke.

"Senpai?!" Natsuki was surprised, but after calming down, she answered the phone:

"Evening, Uchiha-senpai".

"I watched the movie you bought today. The main character in that movie didn't have it easy. What have you been up to lately?" Sasuke asked.

"I've been taking archery practice at that archery-hall, where you gave me archery lessons. Do you want to see me there tomorrow?" Natsuki asked.

"That wasn't really on my mind. What would you say, if we went to the cinema?" Sasuke asked.

"Okay...Or why not? You can choose the movie," Natsuki blushed slightly.

"Okay. Let's meet in front of that cinema near the archery hall you mentioned earlier tomorrow at 3:00 PM," Sasuke said, turning off the phone.

"Keep a cool head, this isn't a date," Natsuki reminded herself, though she had a hard time keeping herself from blushing slightly.

(Later)

Before going to bed, Natsuki chose a blue sweater, black pants, and white socks, which she put on a hanger on the handle of the sliding door in her room to wait for tomorrow.

"I can't forget that I'm senpai's friend now, and I'll try to just make do with that for now," Natsuki reminded herself, and then went to bed wearing her light blue pajamas.
