Sick Girlfriend

[Classroom Of The Elite] Ayanokoji X Horikita

A new special exam nearing an announcement, with the holidays coming to an end.

Tomorrow is when the new semester shall start.

And depending on the school's mood, it will be the start of a challenge.

"Why should I be worried..."

No matter what they hit me with, I will overcome it with ease. Sacrifice people along the way if push comes to shove, but I will never get expelled.

But...

What if... I do get expelled?

Not by challenge, but by will?

I get out of bed after checking my phone. Surprisingly, Suzune has not called me overnight, which I am glad to see.

Though, I am curious about one thing.

I open the curtains that covered the outside...

"So it settled..."

It was snowing last night, but very faintly.

I had never seen the snow before, so mere dots of white rain captivated me.

But now, I get to see it forming a layer of the ground.

In fact, the snow is still coming down harshly.

Judging from the state of the weather, it looks like the snow will carry on through school, and maybe the special exam.

But before so...

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a little bit of fun."

After all, this will add to my experience of youth, so I may as well relish it as much as I can...

Suddenly, I hear the vibrating of my phone.

It can only be one person...

"She overslept today, huh?"

[Kiyotaka, you picked up.]

"I guess I did."

[Even though it's-]

"7 AM"

I imagine her checking the time on her phone.

[I overslept...]

"That's rare, coming from you."

[Next time, I will wake up at 4 AM and force you to arise early]

"You're only making both of us suffer..."

[If we both suffer, then is that even a consequence?]

"Hm?"

[Anyway, aside from that, have you taken a look outside your window?]

"Yes indeed."

[That is snow.]

"I'm aware of that."

[Then, are you aware of what we shall to do?]

I sigh. "Stay home?"

[No, you idiot!]

"It's a joke... go on a date?"

[Exactly! Now get ready and meet at the usual spot!]

I guess this will be the first date we will have in the snow, eh?

Though, if I must say, it will certainly not be the last.

"It's cold..."

20 minutes have I been waiting at the usual spot, yet I see no sign of Suzune.

She has, indeed, been acting weird today.

Oversleeping and turning up late to a special date is far from Suzune's typical behaviour.

Perhaps something has happened...

My phone vibrates, for the second time today. However, the caller was different from the first.

"Ayanokoji-kun! It's about Horikita-san!"

"Ichinose..."

Before I knew it, I hear Ichinose urgently screaming at her phone.

I would be lying if I said that I didn't expect a phone call like this.

"Tell Suzune I'll be there in a few minutes."

A few minutes later

I knock on the door, and after the first knock, the door opens.

"What's the matter, Ichinose?"

Ichinose was at the other side of the door, inside Suzune's room.

"I'm glad you came!"

She holds my hand with both of hers. I look upon it.

"Argh!" she quickly releases, "I'm sorry! I forgot you're dating Suzune for a sec! She wouldn't like to see us like this, hehe."

"What happened to her?"

"Ah, that's right. When I left my dorm, I saw Horikita-san lying down on the snow with her eyes slightly opened. At first, I thought she was struck by the effects of love, but it turned out she caught a cold."

"A cold, eh?"

It's not the first time she had a cold at this school. That time on the island, when I forcefully dragged her out of the exam due to her health.

She is a weak girl, after all.

"Thanks for letting me know, Ichinose. You can leave now."

"Weeeelll, I can't just leave a friend in a state like that, can I?"

"I suppose not."

"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, Ayanokoji-kun!"

"Yeah..."

She really is energetic in the morning... I wish I can have that type of energy.

4 hours later

"Kiyotaka...?"

"You're up, huh?"

"Why-"

"Thank Ichinose. She saw you first, in such a state."

"Oh... I see... how embarrassing."

"Embarrassing?"

"You've seen me in this state twice now, you must think I'm a weak person..."

"You are weak, and so am I. After all, we're humans."

"There you go again..."

"I guess I'll stop now. Anyway, are you sure you should be speaking?"

"Well..."

I feel her forehead, "You have a fever, it's best to rest."

"But..."

"But?"

"It will be boring..."

"That should be the least of your concerns."

"Can I at least talk with you?"

"You really are stubborn, huh? Fine, I'll let you talk."

"Then, can you bring me my compass?"

"I fear to ask why you need such thing..."

"I need to stab something to keep me entertained, why else would I call you?"

"Ichinose called me."

"I told her to."

"How loving."

"Shut up, will you?"

"Yes, my queen."

"I'd rather you call me-"

"Sorry, Suzune."

"Heh, you learn quick, Kiyotaka."

"Praise me more."

"I hate you."

"That stung, actually."

"I don't usually hate, so feel special."

"That's hard to believe coming from Horikita Suzune."

"I don't usually love, either."

"Hm? Oh really? I guess I really am special, huh?"

"Who said I loved you?"

"You did."

She giggles

"I suppose I can't dispute that."

"I guess so, anyway, you need something to eat? I already prepared lunch."

"You used my kitchen without my permission?"

"I thought you'd say that..."

"You better had not made it messy..."

"If anyone, you should know that I keep my kitchens neat and tidy, especially when using someone else's."

"I suppose that is true. That is one of many features you have that is different from normal boys."

"Oh?"

"By the way, Kiyotaka..." she stares out the window, "Will we be cancelling our date?"

I also stare out the window, "The snow will settle for a few days. That's enough time for you to recover and venture."

"I was really looking forward for today... it will be our first date in the snow."

"Oh, really?"

"I was going to throw a snowball at your face... and laugh..."

"That is good to know."

"We were going to build something... a snowman..."

She is more of a kid than I thought. "Interesting."

"Kiyotaka, have you played in the show with your family before?"

"..."

"When I was little, I used to play with brother all the time..."

"..."

Family, huh?

"One day... we'll become family... and play with our kids..."

Her eyes become heavier-

Wait, did I mishear that?

"And then..."

Is this the behaviour of a sick person?

"Hey, Kiyotaka..."

"Yes?"

"Hold my hand."

"Y-Yes mada- Suzune."

I hold her hand.

"Tighter..."

I squeeze.

"Tighter..."

I squeeze harder.

"Tighter..."

I squeeze even harder.

"Tighter..."

I squeeze harder than before.

"Tighter..."

"Well, I don't want to hurt-"

"Tighter..."

"Roger..."

I squeeze once again.

"I'm hungry..."

"Looks like food will have to wait."

"Huh... why?"

"Why? Well... you're about to fall asleep."

"Ah..."

"Should I let go now?"

"Hey, Ayanokoji."

"Y-Yes?"

My family name?

"You're weird..."

"I am...?"

"You're emotionless..."

"I see..."

"You never blush..."

"I guess I don't..."

"You never smile..."

"Smile?"

"But for some reason... I know you love me..."

"That's relieving."

"You saved me... so many times..."

"Really? I'm glad about that."

"You care... for me..."

"I guess I do..."

"But you're secretly a pervert..."

"E-Eh... is that so...?"

"Every boy is a pervert... after all..."

"I-I suppose they are..."

My heart stings...

"But still..." She has more to say? "Hey... Kiyotaka?"

"Yes, Suzune?"

"I love you, Kiyotaka."

"I-Is that so..."

"That's not how you reply... idiot."

"O-Oh, my bad. Well, I love you too, Suzune."

"That's better..."

Her eyelids reach the bottom...

She looks too cute.

"That's right... sleep peacefully, and wake up all better, Suzune. You'll wake up... into the dream."
