Howdy, that Valentine Kid is back with a sequel to “It Wasn’t a Summer Romance” I felt a bit of explaining was needed, and it was so cute I just had to write some more :D
this chapter isn't much, just reastablishing their relationship.
So, here’s where I left you last time, everything that was in the last story is in italics (cue crazy “italics movement” right ember:D)….
“Yo Mei, you still haven’t answered my question, who is he?!” Mei stood by her locker as the girls and boys hounded her, it had become an annual ritual, at least once a week they would ask her who it was she loved so dearly. “oh, it’s time to go register, Mei you best tell us later!”
“Mei! Hurry up, lessons start in five minutes!”
“Yeah, I’ll be there, I just need to get something…” the students left her and Mei leant against her locker and sighed, it had been a month and no news, a month and everything had been silent.
She jumped as her mobile phone began to ring; diving into her bag she flipped it open.
“Hello?”
“So who is he?” An unknown voice spoke on the other end.
“Wha- sorry, who is this?”
“What’s he like-”
“Who?”
“This boy that has your heart.” As the anonymous voiced said this, Mei sighed with reminisce.
“He is loyal, so loyal in fact that he would not leave his work for me.”
“So what would you say about him if he managed to get away for a while?”
Mei leant back against her locker, she smiled, “he is courageous.”
“Well I’ve got that.”
“Handsome.” She began to walk down the corridor.
“no question.”
“Intelligent.” She passed her classroom.
“naturally.”
“Charismatic.” She headed for the exit.
“of course.”
“Witty.” She had to dodge many classmates playing football in the corridor.
“Got it.”
“And he’s a complete idiot.” She opened the doors and walked out into the sunshine.
“Why’s that?”
“For thinking I would not recognise his voice.” She whispered to the boy in front of her. “But of course, you know that, don’t you Hitsugaya?” The boy turned around with a smile.
“Call me Toush.”
She walked forwards uncertainly, as if this were a dream and she could wake up any moment, she wanted to keep him there forever. He walked straight towards her with all the certainty she could not muster and held her close, her head rested against his chest, he could feel her body tense against him as though she was prepared for heart ache again. But after a few moments her breathing relaxed and their hearts took the same rhythm.
“How did you….?” she looked up and they were both glad to see their eyes were dry. Hitsugaya smiled; so she had learnt now too, not to let her heart rule her head. This way there was less pain to deal with when it came to goodbye.
“You need to have an update of events uncovered by Soul Society-”
“and they sent you to tell me, that’s unlikely.” Hitsugaya smiled mischievously at the princess before shrugging.
“They’re beginning to understand. After my short encounter with Aizen, that what they thought was a weakness actually makes us all stronger.” He let go of her and took her hand.
“and what is that thing?” He kissed her palm before looking back into her eyes.
“Love.” He stroked the side of her face and brushed her hair away, he leant in a little further, Mei could feel herself begin to blush. He had held her like this many times, but it had been so long since-
“Mei, where the heck were you at regist…” Hitsugaya and the princess jumped in unison, their heads bumped together and they turned to the speaker, their faces glowing red.
“Yeah, real smooth Romeo,” Shuya looked with distaste at Hitsugaya before realisation struck his face. “YOU!” he pointed an accusing finger at Hitsugaya.
“Me…?” The green eyed boy looked over to Mei for some sort of explanation, but she was cut short as the rest of her class came outside.
“Yeah you!” Shuya looked to the princess and soon the whole class became enlightened.
“Oh so this is the guy!” Was all the pair heard as people shouted and moved forward. Shuya and another boy came up to Mei.
“We never thought you’d fall for a punk.”
“A punk...?” the princess looked to Hitsugaya, girls gathered round him enquiring about his hair, name and interests, needless to say he looked uncomfortable. A punk was the last word she would use to describe this boy.
“Yeah, what kind of boy dies his hair silver and spikes it up like that?”
“Oh shut up Lee. He’s hot, good catch Mei.” Aimi, a fellow class mate winked at her and the princess was taken aback.
“Oh…err, thanks!” The princess turned away with a smile, “Toush! Toush!” The princess had to shout to make herself heard amongst the giggles of girls and sneering of the boys.
“Prin…Mei!” Hitsugaya emerged from a group of girls, looking scandalised.
“Bye bye Toushiro!” A high pitched squeal came from the group. The young captain rolled his eyes and, turning back to the girls opened his mouth to speak but he was beaten to it.
“It’s Hitsugaya.” He looked across as the princess had spoken for him, he smiled.
“we need to talk. Now.” He whispered to Mei with urgency.
“Hey Mei, you can get out of here if you want,” Emiko called to her, “we’ll cover for you…right?” she turned to the rest of the class who for a moment considered the thought but when they looked at the princess and Hitsugaya they all nodded their consent.
“Thank you.” Mei looked around to her class; she had never really fit in many places and yet a group of thirty people she had known for about a month were willing to help her. Hitsugaya turned and walked away, the princess smiled at her friends once more and walked away too.
“Pretty much.” They were sat on a low branch of a tree, overlooking a river that ran through the park. Hitsugaya leant against the tree trunk and watched the princess, she was fiddling with the key around her neck; he hadn’t seen her do this for many years.
“How long do you have here?” Hitsugaya looked up, the princess did not give anything away.
“Oh, in this world I have twelve hours.”
“That much!”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“you only had to explain a few things to me, hardly a twelve hours worth.”
“I do have another task. But you should ask the question you really intended to ask.” The princess glanced over at the boy.
“What’s that?” She followed him with her eyes as he stood and walked towards her, he sat down next to her.
“You really wanted to ask; how long do you have with me?” that was true, what the princess had inferred without being too hopeful. “I’ve got about 6 hours to spend here. Plenty of time.”
“Plenty of time for what?” The princess knew what but she didn’t intend to say it. Hitsugaya brushed the hair off her right shoulder as he had done many times before, he brushed his lips against her neck…
And paused for a moment. Both were held in emotions of happiness and uncertainty; would doing this lead to more heartbreak? But as the princess looked up into those eyes both knew it was OK, what else could possibly happen to them? Mei reached up and ran a hand through silver hair, Hitsugaya smiled and leant inwards, both took a breath.
“Captain! PRINCESS!” As their names were called out both bumped heads for the second time that day, Hitsugaya rounded on the interrupter
“MATSUMOTO!”
