Eugh.. It's another hot day today. Wiping the sweat from my pillow crease ridden face, I reach for my glasses and set them on the bridge of my nose. I rifle through my drawers and grab a clean towel along with my shampoo and body wash. Time to continue my war effort. I step outside my dorm and head to the shower   and rub hard against my arms and face to remove the crease marks from my body. After my shower I shut myself back into my dorm room and turn on my fans and get dressed. Haven't seen Hisao all morning, must be out on infiltration. While listening to some American rock music band, I hear a sudden rapping at my door. I turn the radio off and head to the door, expecting to see Hisao but instead I'm greeted by someone I'd never think I'd see again.
        "H-hey there... Kenny..."
        Yuuko...
        "Did you just shower? Your hair is all wet..."
        Huh? I showered three hours ago. Damn this humidity.
        "Well.. I was wondering if you would want to walk to the park in town and get something to eat."
        Stunned, I can't force out the words. Dammit fool, say something!
        "Uh..." That's not even a word, jackass!
        "If you don't want to..."
        "I do! I mean... I'd be happy to, just let me get my scarf."
        "A scarf? Really? It's boiling outside!"
        "Well, just in case a blizzard or something happens."  
        "Paranoid as usual, I can see." Yuuko jabs, jokingly.
        I give her my all too overused smirk and head out the door with her. We walk casually towards town down the mountain road, and I do my best to maintain my cool. I keep all the conspiracy stuff to myself and just make small talk with her. The sweetest girl in the world, and I was the jerk who broke her heart.. Over nothing too, I just got too paranoid about the whole sex thing.. As my mind wanders, but my mouth keeps in touch with her responses we quickly approach the Aura Mart. Gingerly, she dances around the aisles, grabbing  breads, chips, and some soft drinks. As we approach the register, Yuuko becomes pale and panicky.  
        "Oh... Dammit.."       
        "What's the matter?"   
        "I.. Er... forgot my wallet..."
        I can't help but laugh at how adorably flustered she is.
        "Kenji! It's not funny!" She says, puffing her reddened cheeks.
        "Ah, don't worry about it, I got it."
        All I have is a 10,000 yen note, but the bill is a little less than 3,000 yen. Bad luck be damned, as long as I get to spend the day with her, even for just today, I'm fine. I grab our bag, and we walk towards the park with a spring in our step. We find a bench and sit down and chat between bites and sips of our cheap little lunch. I want to tell her how I feel. That I still love her. That I-
        "I love you, Kenji.."
        And with that, I choke on my soft drink.
        "S-sorry... I should've... Kept my mouth shut."
        Again with this stunned bullshit. Say something, do something you ass!
        "I love you too, Yuuko. I always have." Well, there's some forward progress.
        "Kenji... I'm pretty cold.. Can I.. use your scarf.."
        "Sure, let me just get it off." I reply, untwirling it from around my neck. In mid removal, she just grabs the length of it and wraps it around her neck leaving an equal amount of scarf around our necks whilst she presses her nose against mine.
        "Y-yuuko.." I let out, tripping on my words with reddened cheeks. "I'm sorry for everyth-"
        "Shh... No talk.. Just dreams now." She says, putting her dainty pointer finger on my lips. I'm overcome. My mind is screaming at me to continue, but my body won't listen. I try moving my head forward, but to no avail. Instead, Yuuko took the burden upon herself and presses her sweet, cherry flavored lips against mine. In a flurry, she throws her arms around my scarved neck and I reply with wrapping my slender, twiggish arms around her waist and pulling her body against mine. I don't care what happens from now on, as long as Yuuko and I are happy, I can live happily.
