Really cold.
Yashiro was gathering all her belongings and folding them neatly, placing them all into a small pink duffel bag with a small rabbit keychain on the edge of it.
“Hanako-kun! Where’s my Mokke hat?”
She called out, although it annoyed her, she couldn’t be too mad at him, seeing as he did save her life..
𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮,
𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮,
𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 times.
Hanako called back, a smirk creeping upon his face.
“I wish I could tell you yashiro!”
He laughed, yashiro just groaned but continued packing her bag.
Oh yeah.
‘Why was she packing again?..’
Hanako thought to himself, trying his best to remember what was planned for today..
“Oh yeah! The sleepover!”
Hanako exclaimed, he was smirking, proud he’d remembered but also looked like a child who’d just gotten permission to buy an ice cream from the van.
Yashiro huffed, but still smiled.
“You forgot? Seriously? I get your an apparition and don’t need to pack anything, but you could help me!”
She shoved a pile of items into hanako’s arms, gesturing for him to help her organise and fold everything in the pile so she could put it in her duffel bag faster.
“Gah!-“
Hanako nearly tripped over his own feet, the pile she’d forcefully shoved into his arms was HEAVY. He put everything down, sighed and reluctantly agreed to help.
“Fine. Only because I have nothing better to do!”
Yashiro smiled and continued shoving stuff into her bag whilst hanako worked through the pile she’d launched at him.
He picked up a few shirts and folded them, handing them over to her before he quickly got bored.
“Okay, I helped..now i’m going to go do something better!-“
Yashiro grabbed his arm.
“No. I’m not done yet!” She called out.
“Yashiro! You’re my assistant! You should be helping me!” He huffed.
“Fine. But be ready to leave in 30 minutes okay?” She reluctantly said.
“Leave?” He questioned.
“Yeah, Aoi’s got a dorm here, she’s like, rich yknow..” She answered.
“Oh, okay!”
Hanako left, and came back 30 minutes later, when yashiro was ready to leave.
“All done?”
He asked, his hands stuffed in his pockets, and a warm smile on his face.
“Yup! Let’s go!”
Yashiro said, a happy smile on her face and the usual outfit, which was a bit outrageous considering she had packed a whole year’s worth of clothes and the sleepover was only one night..
They arrived at Aoi’s dorm, and obviously, Akane was already there, praising Aoi for her luscious hair and goddess like smile.
“Please date me!”
He begged, on his knees, one again.
“Hm, 3 points.”
She said, pretty gracefully like usual.
“Ah?-“
Akane just laid flat on the floor, in a puddle of despair.
“I’ll do better next time..!”
He reassured himself.
Everyone got settled in, they were all planning to stay in the living room area of the dorm, it wasn’t HUGE, but it was decently sized, enough for about 5-6 people and they only had 4, which meant there was enough space to get up and mess around a little.
Akane would sleep on the couch, whilst Aoi had a futon.
Hanako and Yashiro had their own futons to sleep on, although they were fairly close to each-other, which was odd since there was a large amount of space not being used.
“Hey, Aoi?”
Yashiro called out.
“Mhm, Nene?”
She responded, a sweet smile on her face.
“Why is mine and Hanako’s futons so close together?..”
She asked, genuinely confused.
“Oh, I thought you had a crush on him!”
Aoi responded, surprisingly calmly, not a single hesitation in that whole sentence.
“WHAT?!- No! He’s not my type! I never said that!!”
Yashiro panicked and exclaimed, speaking so quickly it sounded like she was rapping.
“Hmm? A crush! On me?”
Hanako teased, a smirk on his face as he laughed a little bit.
Yashiro just punched him in the stomach and that managed to silence him.
Later on, they were all preparing to get to sleep, and Aoi had already fallen asleep, Akane on the other hand was guarding her with his life. Y’know. As per usual.
The weather was pretty bad outside, a thunderstorm every now and then a lightning bolt would crash, and Yashiro would tense up, the first few times nobody really noticed. Including Hanako who was teasing Akane.
A big lightning bolt crashed.
It was loud.
“Gah!-“
And that was a mistake yashiro made. She accidentally yelped. Hanako quickly looked over, afraid something had happened, but in reality nene was hiding under her blanket, trembling like a leaf.
“Yashiro? What happened?”
He asked, by her side in less than a second. He was trying to lift the blanket off of her.
“Thunder..”
She mumbled, she wasn’t embarrassed by her fear, probably because she was too afraid to be embarrassed.
“Your afraid? Pfft!”
Hanako burst into laughter, teasing and taunting her every so often, but he wasn’t just making fun of her, he kept a hand on her back, just incase she wasn’t joking.
“Hanako! I’m not joking..”
She was trembling. She was really deathly afraid, and couldn’t take a little thunder.
“Oh.”
“I’m sorry Yashiro..”
He rubbed circles on her back, apologetic and trying to comfort her through her fear.
“Mhm..”
She leaned into the touch.
She hugged him.
And he didn’t mind. I guess it was good their futons were so close. He held her to his chest, he was cold but it was soothing to her nerves which were skyrocketing.
“Hanako..”
“Shh..it’s okay..”
They held each-other in their arms, inhaling the other’s scent, Hanako smelt like firewood and red camellias, it was soothing and comforting to Yashiro, she just smelt like sweets and innocence, if that makes sense. Hanako also had a look of shyness on his face, like a little boy. It was rare, it was golden, he was so vulnerable, just for Yashiro. Letting his guard down to soothe her nerves.
“Try to sleep, okay?..”
Hanako mumbled, debating whether he should kiss her forehead or not, it might be a bit sudden.. but he did it anyway, his ears having a pink tinge to them.
“Mhm..”
Yashiro whisper-spoke. And she did feel the kiss, inside she was screaming, panicking, enjoying it. But on the outside, she relaxed in his arms, knowing she was safe and nothing could harm her here. Hanako would do anything it took to help Yashiro, he just can’t say no to her.
“I love you. Nene Yashiro.”
He spoke softly, running his fingers through her hair, damn that took a lot of courage..
“I love you too. Hanako - kun.”
She was nervous, but it was such a relief to finally say it.
They stayed in eachother’s arms till morning, and loved every moment of it.
