Seven Days
Sunday: Kiss Day
Students covered the school yard, none of them wearing their school uniform. The sunset was beautiful on the horizon over the ocean.
"If I can't even hug him then I can't kiss him." Tenma shook her head.
"Come on, Tenma." Mikoto whined trying to pull the stubborn girl along behind her. Tenma wouldn't budge.
"I don't want to scare him off."
"He was really concerned yesterday...somewhat. He offered to carry you home on his back."
Tenma shook her head. "No. Please Mikoto don't make me do this." She begged, attempting to use her most appealing chibi voice.
Harima turned a corner and there she was. He'd been avoiding her the entire time, hoping that his luck would not subject him to this. She looked up at him expectant eyes. His looked down at her with dread.
He passed out.
"Maybe he's sick?" Mikoto tried to come with an explanation as to why Harima would look at Tenma as if he'd seen a ghost and pass out.
"Miss Tsukamoto?" Tenma turned around and all color drained from her face.
"Y-yes?"
"I was wondering how you were doing." Karasuma looked down at her, expression unreadable.
Three...two...one...
"TENMA!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Harima stared up at the ceiling of the nurse's office, a cold compress on his head. "In the end...I couldn't do it. I failed."
The door opened and Karasuma came in carrying Tenma followed by Eri, Akira, and Mikoto.
"What happened?" Harima asked.
"She fainted." Karasuma answered, laying her down on the bed beside him.
"Oh. Is she okay?"
"I think so." The school's nurse, Miss Anegasaki, answered placing a cold compress on Tenma's forehead as well. "The two of you continue to rest. Who knows who will faint next?"
She ushered all of the teenagers out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Harima looked over at Tenma, wondering if it would be okay to sneak a kiss while she was unconscious. He thought about then decided against it. The last thing he needed was for her to wake up with him hovering over her body.
