Chapter Text
I looked up from my phone as I heard the diner door open to see my girlfriend, Mitsuyoshi Yozakura, with her hair and makeup messed up from god knows what.
“H-hey- oh!” I caught her as she tripped from her heels
I looked around before standing up to get her. She might often be a mess but she’s never this messy. “Okay, let’s sort you out first before we go eat.” I said as I dragged her out.
“Ay is Mitsuyoshi fine?” The chef said in his heavy accent. I gave him an awkward smile and a thumbs up before the both of us left the restaurant.
As we got over to an open corner where Yozakura was able to adjust herself. She dropped her high heels next to her as she lifted her right leg to pick clean dirt off of the foot palm and continued to do the same.
“What happened? Also how did you get dirt and branches?”
Yozakura looked up with a red face. She took a breath in and said, “Okay so you know one of my senpai’s in the gardening club?”
I nodded.
“YeahsoamonthagosheaskedformyhelpforshowcasingtheclubtolikethetownmayorforaschooltourtodayandI-”
“Oka- Okay. I need you to slow down and breathe.” I inhaled, Yozakura followed and then breathed out together.
Yozakura looked at me for a bit and charged in for a hug. She let out a sob which was muffled and she pushed her face into chest.
“I FORGOT!!! AHHhhhadadsa.”. She continued. Confused but I still comforted her by hugging her back.
“I don’t mind cancelling our date-“
“No!” She exclaimed, pulling her head out to give me a serious expression. “I-I mean-“
She looked down to wear her heels again. She looked up to give me a sad expression, her twiddling her thumbs together.
“Our date… I was looking forward to it.”
“We can always do it another day.” I held her hands in assurance.
“Yeah but-“
I put my finger to her lips. “Ah papapa…This is important.” I whispered getting close to her face. “As much as I love you and that we haven’t had our date in a while; I know how important the club is to you and the others.”
She pouted her lips forward. I moved my fingers and gave her a quick kiss.
I turned and kneeled down, “I’ll give you piggyback to school. I don’t want you to ruin your shoes.”
I heard her chuckle and felt a weight in my back and her legs wrapping around my waist. I hooked her heels between my fingers and rushed to our high school as fast as possible.

“Ah Mitsuyoshi-chan! I thought you weren’t coming.” The gardening club leader (Senpai Haru is what we usually refer to her as) came to us as we walked in.
“I need you to help with some of the flower bouquets to give to the governor as well as rearranging some decorations, some of them didn’t arrive but we asked the theater teachers if we could borrow some.”
Mitsuyoshi immediately nods and rushes in the club garden, clumsily
“Oh and since you’re here-“ Senpai Haru turned to me. “Help us get these in the storage and move some heavy bags.”
I gave an ‘oof’ as she dropped a heavy bag of what I assume to be dirt on to my hands.
“Wha-why?”
“Well since you’re here and a lot of the members dressed up. I think it’s better if you handle the heavy work. Please, I'll make it up to you by recommending a great date spot.”
She started running, as fast as she could in heels, to the outside before stopping by the door. She turned to me again.
“And that date spot is great for the both of you.”
She shut the door and heard the clacking of her heels as she ran off.
“I’m dressed up too!”
I groaned as I started moving the bags.
It was heavy work, could not believe that a lot of the members could carry this if I could barely lift it (then again I barely work out so)
As I inspected further in the shed, I noticed something grey and fuzzy. My eyes widened as I noticed it.
It was a Tanuki.

“Uhhhh.” Shirosaki said, the raccoon dog looks up to lock eye contact with Shirosaki.
The two kept up with their staring contest, Shirosaki slowly walking to the side to obtain the nearest bucket, planning on trapping the raccoon and setting it free after catching it.
“Stay still… trash panda…” Shirosaki whispered to not startle the animal.
With some misses, he grabbed the bucket by the rim. He starts to creep towards the raccoon.
Preparing to catch the animal, he raised the bucket.

Shirosaki slams the bucket to where the raccoon was but the raccoon was swift and slipped away from the trap.
Scurrying away, the raccoon slipped between Shirosaki's legs and out the other room. Panic stricken as he forgot to fully close the door

I sighed as I sat at the stairs that lead to our high school, lowered my head in shame.
Today was a disaster.
Time passed before I heard soft clacking of heels heading towards my way.
“Hey…”
Still looked down at the concrete, ashamed even to look at my girlfriend.
A moment passed and I felt a presence beside me. I feel Mitsuyoshi leaning over me, wrapping her arms around me.
“It’s okay.
“Shirosaki! Shiro- saki!” We both turned to Haru giving the biggest grin. She stopped near us. “Okay I have good news and bad news. Pick one first.”
Me and Mitsuyoshi looked at each other, then turned back to Senpai. “Bad…news?”
“Okay bad news, the club will be closed…”
Mitsuyoshi stood up in shock.
“Let me finish… for fortifying fences for stray animals..
“…good news?”
“Oh yeah. We found his pet raccoon!”
We all fell silent as the president had a grin on her face. We both looked at her confused.
“Wha-what do you mean?”
“Turns out the raccoon you caught was his missing pet since February and he wants to congratulate you two on finding his pet.” Senpai gave a wide grin. “Isn’t that wonderful?!”
Mitsuyoshi and Shirosaki looked at each other then back at their Senpai then back to each other.
“Wha- I… how the-“ Shirosaki was at a loss for words.
“Wait he has a pet raccoon.”
Shirosaki groaned. “I am going to kill that creature.”
“Hey you don’t talk to the Mayor’s pet like that.”
