Lovesick

"H-Hey, aren't you walking too fast, Suzune-"

"Shut up and walk!"

"You're acting weird today-

"It's nothing!"

"You sure?"

"Yes! I'm sure!"

"It doesn't seem like it. Were you that lonely at school in the midst of my absence?"

"Can you just-"

I pull out a compass from my pocket.

"Oh? I thought you said you would refrain from hurting me today."

"I'll stab your brain, it won't hurt as it lacks nociceptors in its tissue."

"The process will, however."

"I'll make you sleep."

"Won't make a difference."

"Then I'll break my promise."

"I guess that is the most efficient way of punishing me through pain."

He's making me annoyed... I can't seem to find a reason why. He wants me to find a reason to stab him...

It's just- That blank face when he says something embarrassing.

Why does he lack human feelings? Emotions? Personality?

Why does he not understand the limits to stupidity?

Urgh, just thinking about him makes me annoyed.

Maybe I'll do something to make him understand-

"Suzune-"

"Huh?"

He dashes toward me, whilst I am off guard.

He throws his entire body in my direction.

"Wha-"

What is he trying to-!?

What has come over him?

Is this the prime of his stupidity?

"No!"

I close my eyes.

I cover myself with my hands.

And I wait...

"Huh? Kiyotaka?"

Arbritarily, he wraps his arms around me and squeezes me gently.

I suddenly feel warmth. I haven't felt this warmth in weeks... the warmth of a hug.

"Have you cooled down, now?"

Ah... I get it.

As a girlfriend, I need to adapt to his behaviour, just like Karui- Kei told me. Otherwise, we will lack chemistry.

"Suzune?"

He has adapted to my behaviour, accepting my punishments, accepting my rants...

I guess it wouldn't hurt accepting him as a stupid, brainless, dense idiot... who is kind, loving and the closest to me.

"I'm fine... I'm sorry, Kiyotaka..." I submerge into his hug, "Let's stay like this for a little while..."

"Mm? You sure? We're in the middle of nowhere-"

"You really are dense," I giggle.

"I suppose I am, if you say so."

3 minutes later

Argh! That was embarrassing... why would I display such character? In front of Kioytaka. In front of public.

Uh... what am I doing...

I glance over at Kiyotaka. He doesn't seem to be any different than normal.

I hope he doesn't get weird ideas... if he does remind me of what had just happened, the end of my compass will meet his eyes, and will be the last thing he sees.

"Suzune-"

"Don't remind me, idiot!"

"I haven't said anything yet..."

"Then, what were you going to say?"

"Why is someone tailing us?"

"Huh?"

He points to the direction of where hs spotted an unusual movement.

I follow my eyes to the end of the point...

"Oh great..." I mutter.

"Someone you know?"

"No, definitely not. Is she even tailing us? I doubt it."

"Our eyes met about 7 times now, and she averted her eyes in all occasions. Seems ridiculous to pass it off as nothing."

"You're seeing things."

"I don't think I am."

"You are."

"Like i said, i dont think I-"

"Compass."

"Guess I'm seeing things after all, huh?"

For God's sake... if Kei is going to watch this date, couldn't she hide herself a little bit better?

"To tell the truth, she is someone I know, and is tailing us," I say.

"Well that is a surprise."

"I can't believe her, honestly..."

Kei was sitting on a bench, reading a newspaper with a pair of sunglasses over her eyes.

"Who is she? Someone in our class?"

"Yes, Karuizawa Kei. I'm sure you must've heard about her before."

"Oh... that woman..."

"Let's keep going, faster. Losing her seems easy, after all, this is Kei we're talking about."

"Whatever you say, I guess."

I grab his hand and force him to walk at the same pace as me, "Whatever you do, don't look back, Kiyotaka."

"She's following us..."

"What did I just say?!"

"What did you say?"

"Just- Look at my beautiful face instead of hers, I'll get jealous."

"Right..."

"Just to make sure, you think I'm beautiful, don't you?"

"To be honest, I've seen better-"

I squeeze his hand.

"You're definitely the most beautiful lady I've met, Suzune."

"That seemed force."

"My words are genuine."

"I'm unconvinced."

"That's a shame."

"Make me convinced, Kiyotaka."

"Then, I love you, Suzune. Believe me."

"Mm, I suppose I'll believe you."

"I think we've lost her."

"How do you know?"

"Well..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

We both stop at a cafe in the mall. I sat near a table whilst regaining my breath, whereas Kiyotaka offers to deliver me a cup of hot choco.

I can't believe he hasn't panted in the last few minutes... just how strong is his cardiovascular endurance?

"Suzune... are you fine?" He asks, placing the cup of hit chocolate on the table.

"Well... hah... we ran... a long way... hah..."

"That's true. Well, look at the bright side, we have lost her."

"She probably saw you glancing over her... and knew we spotted her out... thanks for that..."

"I'm sorry..."

"It's fine. After all, you said you loved me, so I forgive you."

"That's fortunate for me, thank you."

"But you will receive punishment."

"I don't think that's how forgiving people works."

"Too bad."

I lean close to him.

He probably expects to be stabbed.

Which is why I will surprise him.

"Huh?"

I kiss him on his cheeks. I made sure I incorporated the entirety of my unlimited affection into it.

"Well? Do you like my punishments?"

"Mm, I'd prefer you give me that punishment instead of-"

"Compass."

"I'm very happy with your punishments, thank you, Suzune."

"Why, you're very welcome, Kiyotaka- Hot!"

"Yeah, the hot chocolate is hot."

"I think I realized..."

He really is...

Though...

Right now, I feel happy with Kiyotaka. Though he may be bereft of what we call emotions, he tries his hardest to make me feel comfortable around him.

He most likely does not realize it himself... but... he is somewhat cool.

Ah, I truly am lovesick...

I wish I can blame him for my uncontrollable emotions...

But I can't help but love him more.

"I love you, Kiyotaka."

"Hm?"

"I'm not going to repeat again.'

"The sound of myself sipping the hot chocolate overlapped with what you said, so do you mind repeating for me?"

I'm sure he knows what I said. I'm sure he wants to tease me... but...

I don't care.

"I L-O-V-E you, Kiyotaka."

"Spelling it out, huh?"

"I said I won't say it again."

"That's a shame."

"Don't get ahead of yourself. You do remember about my-"

"Compass...?"

I smile, "I guess you're learning quickly, Kiyotaka."

I tried a different approach to this chapter. Purely a romantic-comedy instead of just the 'romance'. I hope you enjoyed it.

For some reason, this took a while to make. Most likely because I tried to make the conversation flow as much as possible.

Nonetheless, I had fun writing this.

BTW, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO STARTED READING THIS FANFIC!

For real, the amount of new readers I've gained in the past day was substantial. My notifications were on fire.

Arigatou!

Thanks for reading!
