His face looks confused as he thinks deeply about it.
Hikigaya "No way… I think my sickness is making me a bit delusional…"
He says with a cracky voice. After a bit, Shiori comes back with a bowl of chicken noodle soup as Hikigaya still pretends to sleep although he had started to drift off a bit. She sets the bowl down before poking Hikigaya a bit.
Shiori "Hikigaya. You gotta wake up to eat the soup."
He groans a bit as he slightly opens his eyes.
Hikigaya "Shiori?.. What are you doing here?.."
She smiles at him.
Shiori "Who else was gonna take care of you? You definitely weren't gonna, you big dummy."
She smiles as he sits up a bit. His eyes are mostly closed as he sluggishly positions himself.
Shiori "Ahh…"
She says softly while taking a spoonful of soup and lifting it towards his mouth. He opens his mouth as she carefully feeds him the soup.
Shiori "You better eat it all. I made this special just for you."
She says softly while focusing on carefully feeding him. He blushes a bit while being spoon fed by Shiori.
Hikigaya 'I know she's cooked for us before but it was always for the family. She's never cooked for me before… Not to mention she's spoon feeding me right now… I've never seen her be so caring…'
He thinks to himself. Eventually, the soup is finished as Hikigaya sits back with his eyes closed, satisfied.
Shiori "Oh, there's still one more spoonful."
She says as he opens his mouth, waiting for the soup with his eyes closed. Shiori then sticks a spoonful of dark liquid into his mouth. His eyes burst open wide as he swallows the liquid before coughing.
Hikigaya "What was that??"
Shiori smirks at him, holding the spoon and a bottle of medicine in her hands.
Shiori "It's called medicine. I don't expect you to know much about it since you've never gotten sick apparently but I have. It'll help you get better faster."
Hikigaya "I know what medicine is! You could've just told me instead of tricking me into drinking it."
He says, offended that she tricked him as she raises an eyebrow.
Shiori "Would you have drank it?"
Hikigaya crosses his arms and looks away, pausing for a moment.
Hikigaya "...Knowing it tasted that gross, probably not."
Shiori "My point exactly."
She says while getting up and putting the medicine and spoon down.
Hikigaya "Whatever."
He says, pouting.
Shiori "Now, get changed. You shouldn't stay in the same set of clothes for too long when sick."
Hikigaya "Maybe I don't wanna."
He says defiantly. Shiori looks at him with an angry look and puts her hands on her hips.
Shiori "You better get changed or I will change you myself."
She stares at him for a moment before he blushes and she blushes back, realizing what that would imply. She clears her throat and looks away.
Shiori "Now go change."
Hikigaya "R-right.."
He says while getting up. He heads towards his closet to begin changing and when his back is towards her, Shiori blushes a bit and goes into her bag she set down by the door. She pulls out the cute bag of chocolates she made for him and looks at them.
Shiori 'I made them the same way I made them the first time. Bitter chocolate with a smooth sweet center. He seemed to like them that way. I just hope he likes them this time…'
She thinks to herself before putting the bag down on the desk by the door and leaving with her stuff. Hikigaya changes and turns, surprised she isn't there. He notices the bag on his desk with a small note attached to it.
Shiori "I'm sorry you were sick on Valentine's Day so I got you these to cheer you up. Maybe next year you'll actually get some Valentines from someone dummy!"
He chuckles a bit before opening up the bag. He eats a chocolate and chews it for a moment before getting a surprised look.
Hikigaya "Just the way I like it… Again…"
He looks at the note, examining it before setting it down and laying on his bed with a sigh.
Chizuru "What do you mean you couldn't do it??"
She asks while on the phone outside. Shiori sits in her room with her head in her hands and an intense blush on her face.
Shiori "I'm sorry! I just got nervous so I wrote him a note saying I just bought them and they were for his sickness!"
Chizuru "Shiori! This would've been the perfect chance to tell him how you feel!"
Shiori "I know, I'm sorry…"
She says softly as Chizuru sighs.
Chizuru "It's okay. You'll have your moment."
Shiori "Right. Speaking of which, how's your going?"
Chizuru looks confused.
Chizuru "What do you mean?"
Shiori "Wasn't Touma gonna… nevermind. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Chizuru giggles a bit.
Chizuru "Goodnight Shiori. Love you!"
She says happily before the call ends.
Touma "S-so, how did it go?"
He asks softly. Touma sits on a wall next to Chizuru by her house under the night sky. Chizuru sighs.
Chizuru "Not well. She bailed out last second, again."
Touma chuckles a little.
Touma "Well, if they really like each other like you say, I'm sure it'll work out eventually."
Chizuru smiles softly at him.
Chizuru "Right."
She puts her hand into a small cute bag and pulls out a heart shaped chocolate before popping it into her mouth. She chews it happily.
Chizuru "You always make the best snacks, Touma!"
He blushes as he nods.
Chizuru "I hope you make them for me forever."
He blushes even more as she smiles happily at him.
Touma "M-me too.."
He says softly as they sit together, Chizuru swaying from side to side in joy. In Hikigaya's room, he lays in his bed with a fuzzy look, still a little feverish.
Hikigaya 'What is this feeling?.. I'm all… woozy and lightheaded…"
He looks at his hands for a moment.
Hikigaya "Shiori… I want to see her…"
He then slowly gets up from his bed. Shiori sits on her bed with her head in her hands, feeling slightly regretful of her actions when there is a knock at her door. She is surprised and goes to open the door only to find Hikigaya standing by her door weakly.
Shiori "Hikigaya? What are you doing out of bed?"
Hikigaya "I feel… funny…"
He says as he leans forward only to fall into her arms. She is surprised but catches him as they fall to their knees.
Shiori "Oof! Well, the medicine I gave you was pretty strong. It said you could become drowsy or in some cases…"
Hikigaya looks at her with soft eyes.
Hikigaya "You're so pretty…"
He says softly as she blushes.
Shiori "Delirious… Come on, it's just the medicine talking."
She goes to pick him up but he holds her tightly and stays on his knees with her. She is surprised so she stays on the floor with him.
Hikigaya "Shiori…"
He says softly with her head lowered. She stares at him intently as he lifts his head, his eyes glazed over with fatigue and intense blush across his face.
Hikigaya "I love you…"
He says while leaning forward. Shiori's eyes widen as their lips connect. They kiss for a moment before Hikigaya pulls back ever so slightly and falls over, passing out instantly. He snores softly as Shiori doesn't move, her eyes wide and face red.
Shiori "What?.. Just happened?.."
She asks as she looks at Hikigaya. She freaks out and grabs him, lifting him over her head before running out of her room and into his. She slams him onto the ground as he continues to be knocked out and his eyes swirling before she runs back into her room and slams the door shut. She presses her back against the door as she covers her lips with her fingers softly, an intense blush across her face as she sweats.
Shiori "We've kissed before… This isn't a big deal but… what he said..."
She thinks about him saying it again.
Hikigaya "Shiori… I love you…"
She shakes her head and slides down to a fetal position, covering her face with her hands.
Shiori "He didn't mean it!.. He's just… delirious, that's all!.."
She says softly as the night continues on.
Earlier in the day after school, Kitaro gets home from school. He steps inside when his mother notices him.
Kitaro's Mom "Oh, glad you're home sweetpea. Hisana is up in your room."
He looks at her confused.
Kitaro "She got here before I did?"
She nods.
Kitaro's Mom "Yep. Quite a bit ago. She was quite excited. She probably has something to tell you."
She says with a smirk as Kitaro sweats.
Kitaro "I bet she does…"
He goes upstairs and comes to his door where he hesitates to open the door. He exhales before opening it only to be met with pink lights and sweet smells.
Hisana "Welcome home Kitaro!"
He blushes intensely while slamming the door shut to his room.
Kitaro "What are you doing??"
He looks at her to see her sitting in a pile of rose petals with a few candles surrounding her. She is naked with whipped cream covering her chest and crotch area and a small cake with a heart on it in her lap.
Hisana "Happy Valentine's Day! Want to be my boyfriend now?"
She asks happily as Kitaro answers.
Kitaro "No."
She is shocked with a stunned smile on her face.
Kitaro "You've probably asked out at least four other people today, right?"
Hisana "Nooo…"
Kitaro "Right. You probably also have big things like this planned for a few others don't you?"
Hisana "No way! Only you get a special gift like this."
She says with a smile while sticking her tongue out. Kitaro sighs.
Kitaro "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."
Hisana "You mean you're gonna lick the cream off of me? But you just turned me down. I don't want that kind of relationship you know."
Kitaro stiffens up, blushing a little.
Kitaro "Not like that you idiot!"
He shouts while smacking her on the head.
