Hiroyuki was scrolling through his phone during his break time at work. He found out that there is a special event held at school but he's too embarrassed to ask anyone to join him in the event. The event was a Christmas Themed Event that happens every year and just like every year Hiroyuki is embarrassed to ask anyone to join him due to his lack of confidence to talk to others at school.
While he was working, he saw someone came into the store. It was Chitose, his classmate who he has a crush on for so long. "Hello Hiroyuki!", she says as she smiles. "H-Hello Chitose-chan", he replied nervously. "So, are you going to the school event this year?", she asked him, "I don't know… I don't really have anyone to join me in the event", he replied to her, "Well in that case… Why don't you join me in the event?", she asked him, "R-really?!", Hiroyuki is shocked that she even asked him, "Well you see… I myself don't have anyone to join me in the event and I was thinking if you could tag a long with me", she says to him. "S-sure! I will join you!", he says to her, "That's good but we should get to know each other for a bit because we are basically just two strangers talking to each other even though we have been classmates for 2 years now", she says with a nervous giggle, "Yeah my bad", Hiroyuki replied while nervously giggling as well. "So, how about tomorrow?", she asked him, "Sure" he replied. After Chitose paid for her stuff, she leaves the store leaving Hiroyuki behind.
"Tomorrow huh… And I can't believe that she is talking to me", Hiroyuki thinks to himself while he silently looks over the store
Chitose is waiting for Hiroyuki in Starbucks, their planned meeting area. "Where is he?", She thinks to herself while scrolling through her phone looking at cute cat pictures. Hiroyuki arrives while losing his breath. "I am so sorry- I woke up late today", Hiroyuki said to Chitose. "Oh, it's fine- I was just worried about you", She replied with a calming smile. "Oh yeah here's your drink just like you asked", Chitose says as she give Hiroyuki his drink. The two of them talk for a bit before going into the shopping mall.
"So, what do you like to do in your free time?", Hiroyuki asked Chitose. "I usually read a book or watch something on the tv", she replied. "How about you?", she asked him the same question as he did. "Oh, I'm the same as you", he replied. The two of them continued talking while looking for some clothes to wear during the school event. They giggled while questioning each other's fashion sense. "So, what else do you want to do?", Chitose asked Hiroyuki. "I don't know", he replied. "Wanna go to my apartment?", she asked him. "S-sure!", he replied with slight nervous knowing that he will met her parents. "That sounds great! After this shopping trip of ours you can go back home to change clothes before going to my apartment", she said to him. "Sure, why not", he replied.
Chitose and Hiroyuki stopped by a small candy shop to buy some candies for Christmas. Then they stopped near a toy store to buy some toys because they planned ahead on donating some toys to children who need them for Christmas times. Afterwards, they went to do some grocery shopping because Hiroyuki's mum asked him to help out with the groceries. He had a pretty long list but him and Chitose were able to get all of the items from the list pretty quickly. After they've done the grocery shopping they went around exploring the mall.
After their 3 hours shopping trip, Chitose and Hiroyuki went separate paths to go back to their home. "I'm home!", Hiroyuki yells as he enters his home. "Welcome back son", his mum welcome him home. "So how was the shopping trip?", she asked him. "It went great. I'm just coming back home to take a shower and change my clothes to meet up with her again at her apartment", Hiroyuki said to his mum. "Will her parents mind you visiting her?", his mum asked him. "I don't think they would mind. She probably told them that I was coming so there won't be any trouble", he replied. "Well that's good. Now go and take that shower now", his mum replied to him. Hiroyuki quickly takes a shower and changed clothing before meeting up with Chitose again in her apartment. "I'm going now. See you later mum", Hiroyuki says before leaving the house. "Behave well while you are at her house", she says to him. "I will and that's a promise mum", he says before closing the door.
After aimlessly walking around town he finally founds her apartment. "So, this is her apartment? Seems nice", he says to himself. He knocks on her door and the person who opens it is… "Hello Hiroyuki", Chitose says as she opens the door to let Hiroyuki in. "Uhm… where are your parents Chitose?", Hiroyuki asked her as he walks in. "The thing is… I don't have any parents", she says to him. "Wait what happened?", he asked her in a panic expression. "I don't remember much… One day when I woke up, I lost all of my memories from when I was a kid and now I only remember things from 2 years ago which is when I started high school", she says to him while crying.
Hiroyuki hugs her tight and tells her… "It's fine Chitose. Even if you don't remember anything other than the last two years. I will make sure that you can create new memories". Chitose continues to cry on Hiroyuki which he is fine with and hugs her closer. "There there, I'm here for you", he says to her. After she has finished crying she says to him "Are you sure that you will help me create new memories?", "Yes I will help you with creating new memories. Memories filled with happiness and joy", he answers.
Hiroyuki helps her get back up from the ground. "So, what do you want to do today?", he asked with a smile. Chitose smiles and say… *insert Chitose's Backstory*, "can I move in with you and your mum?", "Yes! Yes, you can! You don't need to live alone anymore. Me and my mum will take care of you from now on", Hiroyuki says to her while tears stream down his face. The both of them starts to clean up the apartment and prepare to get out of apartment until Hiroyuki found something. "Ah, there you are", Hiroyuki says. "What did you find", Chitose asked him. Hiroyuki showed Chitose a bear hair clip. "You forgot this", Hiroyuki says. He puts the bear hair clip into her hair. Chitose smiled and blushed.
A few hours later and Hiroyuki came back to his house with Chitose. He tells his mum what happened while he was at Chitose's apartment and his mum hugged her close. "You can stay with us if you want. We have an extra bedroom that you can use", Hiroyuki's mum said to her to with a smile. "T-thank you", she says to her while trying to hold back her tears. "It's fine if you want to cry. You can cry all you want. Just know that my son and I will always be there for you to hug you close", Hiroyuki's mum said to her
One week later. The Christmas Themed Event has begun! Everyone is enjoying the event. There are some students playing some of the mini-games, some are taking photos together and some are singing on stage. Hiroyuki and Chitose arrived at school. "I'm 0.5 seconds faster than you", Chitose says to Hiroyuki with her taking multiple short breaths. "I might be faster next time", he replies with a smile. "Last person to touch the fountain needs to buy Ice Cream!", Chitose says to him before running off. "Hey that's not fair! You're already running off before me", he screams at her after she ran off. A few moments later… "I won, again!", Chitose celebrates her second victory against Hiroyuki. "Ugh, fine. What flavour?", he asked her. "Vanilla", she says to him with a cute smile. "Sure", he replies also with a cute smile.
After the both of them finished eating their ice cream, they ran off to do some other fun activities around the school. They played a few mini-games, created a snowman and naming him "Chilly" and even sing a few songs on stage which surprised some people knowing that these two are very shy at school and are just surprised to see that these two have such great synergy. The school bell rang and it indicates the event is nearly over. "Last person to get into the school hall has to confess a secret", Chitose says to Hiroyuki before trying to run off again. "You know that I will lose so let me confess…" he says to her. "What is it Hiroyuki?' , she asked him with excitement to know what he will say. "I love you!", he says to her. Chitose blushes so hard she looks like a tomato. She gets up close to his ear and whispers, "I love you too".
