Ikki

[uccellodifuoco]

[From here]
[More like the kid with a crush on you, but friend is fine too. Really girl, stop being so... Cute and pretty and making Ikki want to just drop your hand and hug you and protect you forever taking you with him and his brother. He can't do that, you still have parents -if you didn't though...-.

Ikki swallows and nods, blushing slightly after staring at her smile dumbfounded for a second.]

Y-Yeah, we're friends. I'm glad to have found you too.

[etudes]

[ .. There's a moment of staring on her part too, but it's more the curious kind as she blinks slightly. ]

Um.. You're a little red in the face, Ikki-kun.. are you getting a fever?

[uccellodifuoco]

[That only makes him blush even more, stupid girl why are you saying that?]

M-Maybe!! It doesn't matter anyway.

[He turns and keeps walking, avoiding to show her his face.]

[etudes]

[ She's just pointing out something she saw! But now she's looking a little worried, although.. it's almost more a little sad and shy.. ]

... Did I say something wrong..?

[uccellodifuoco]

No... Why do you think that?

[He looks back and... Oh God, no, he's never going to look back at her, he can't stand that face!]

[etudes]

S-sorry.. I just thought you seemed a little angry..

[ It's okay, she's already shyly and sadly bowing her head to avoid having to directly face his gaze.. ]

[uccellodifuoco]

You don't have to apologize! You did nothing wrong!

[Stop making that face, God. Ikki looks around, trying to find a solution, a way to make her stop looking so sad and shy and looking down. But, like every time he tries that, it doesn't work. So he does the same thing as he usually does when Shun gets upset and he doesn't have food for him despite his best efforts. Here Kotomi, have a hug.]

I couldn't get angry with you, you're a very good girl.

[etudes]

[ Oh, that hug surprises her. Nobody has ever hugged her before but her parents, so her eyes go a little wide with surprise the moment she notices what he's doing. But the hug is so warm that she can't even mind it, it's.. nice, it's warm and protective, so lingering like this.. it's nice, staying this close to him. ]

I'm.. a good girl..? Really?

[uccellodifuoco]

[It's a nice hug indeed. It feels different than hugging Shun, probably because Kotomi is actually close to his age even if a bit shorter than he is. He still hugs her the same way, holding her close to his body a hand on her head petting her hair.]

Yeah, a really, really good girl. So you can't do anything wrong. And no one has reasons to get angry with you.

[etudes]

I'm glad.. I'm really, really glad that Ikki-kun thinks that about me.

[ She's even smiling now! Look at that pretty and cute smile, she's so happy to get a hug from him like this. Even if she's never hugged anyone but her parents, it feels nice. ]

[uccellodifuoco]

[NO HE'S NOT LOOKING, HE REFUSES TO LOOK, THAT SMILE IS A WICKED SPELL OR SOMETHING. It makes his face go red, see? Like it's doing right now.]

W-Well, it's the truth. Let's keep looking for the exit, okay?

[Hiding his face again.]

[etudes]

[ But it's just a cute smile, Ikki! And she looks a little curious once he starts hiding his face.. ]

... Huh? Is something wrong again..?

[uccellodifuoco]

N-No! Why are you asking that again?

[What's wrong with you girl, what do you want from him!!]

[etudes]

You keep hiding your face, Ikki-kun. [ she points at it a little. ] That's why.

[uccellodifuoco]

N-Nothing is wrong, it's my face I can hide if I want even if nothing is wrong.

[etudes]

... Sorry. I just thought that maybe Ikki-kun was hiding it for a reason..

[uccellodifuoco]

[Because he doesn't want you to see him.]

No... It's nothing. I just like to do that.

[Little tsun.]

[etudes]

... [ okay, now she smiles.. and she even giggles a little, all cutesy. ]

Ikki-kun is such a funny person.

[uccellodifuoco]

W-Why is that funny?

[etudes]

I don't know, but.. you make me happy and laugh. That must mean you're a funny person, right..?

[uccellodifuoco]

[... He makes her happy. That makes him stop and look at her surprised.]

I make you happy? Really? But... I've not done anything for that.

[etudes]

Don't you think it's possible for people to make each other happy without trying to, Ikki-kun? Like.. it's something natural, maybe..

[uccellodifuoco]

I tried to make mom happy when she was pregnant... But she kept crying and being sad and scared. I'm not sure if you can make others happy even with trying.

[etudes]

But.. I feel happy right now.. and I'm sure this warm and happy feeling was caused by Ikki-kun. So Ikki-kun can make me happy.

[uccellodifuoco]

... I'm glad. I'm happy too... I would be happier if Shun was with us though.

[He can't stop worrying about the baby.]
