The thing I would like to see

First Chapter

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Shampoo

The thing I would like to see… is your happy face…

It seemed like yesterday for Futaba, those moments from their first date. Kou's happy face, which was brightly smiling. The lovely bouquet, that gave her, his shy expression; but most of all the things, their walk after. A real romantic walk, where they talked and laughed; with their faces, red from the cold and their embarrassment, while holding each other's hand… oh, how she could ever forget that at their way back home, they kissed.

'' Kissed… kiss… kisses…kissing'' Futaba mused and felt her face becoming warm and pink. How many times since then, did he kiss her? She really couldn't count anymore. Fifty times..? More?... Some stolen kisses, now and then… when they weren't alone. Some tender kisses at her forehead and her hair and some… so passionate that truly scared her and left her breathless with her heart pounding so hard and strong, wondering about this hidden side of her handsome boyfriend.

But time's not standing still for anyone; so soon after their Christmas vacations ended, the school started again. One day, Tanaka sensei announced to his brother that Kou was accepted finally to attend his last year, as an advanced student. Futaba's heart was in despair. Her senior year at high school and after all those ups and downs to their relationship, she would be spending it separated from Kou. Half to tell, half not to tell… at some point she confessed her frustration to Kou. At that moment he gave her a sideways look and burst into laughter. Oh how much he still had that annoying behavior teasing her! Futaba was ready to throw him a notebook on his head, when he surprised her. Caught her hand that was holding her weapon and pulling her close to him, he whispered in her ear.

- '' Yoshioka… don't you ever heard, that distance… makes couples…more erotic?!'' and he pecked her temple. Futaba's ears nearly went up in smoke with his words and even though she didn't dare to meet his eyes that moment, she was too curious; but Kou's face, when she turned her eyes to it, surprised her even more. He had the most adorable blush on his cheeks, which was totally opposite with his words that sounded kind… pervert?!

'' Nah… Kou's not a perverted! He's kind, tender and affectionate …the perverted here is only me! That I even count our kisses!'' she thought and banged her head on her desk two times.

- '' Futaba chan… is anything wrong?! Are you okay?'' Yuri's chan sweet voice asked her, worried when she saw her friend hitting her forehead so hard and sudden on her desk.

- '' Yuri! Nah, I 'm fine!'' she answered rubbing her head with her one hand while swinging the other in a gesture, don't worry.

- '' You look kind of flushed… maybe you are not feeling so well, Futaba chan''

- ''Flushed ha?... It's kind of warm in the classroom…'' Futaba mumbled.

Yuri's eyes stared her worried.

- '' Maybe you got a cold and you are starting to have a fever''. Shuko's bland voice sounded behind Makita's.

-'' Oh, that would be terrible Futaba chan! In a couple of days it's Valentine's Day! It would be really bad to become sick and not go on date with Mabuchi kun!''

Futaba stared at her friends happy that they cared so much about her, but she couldn't confess that her flushed face wasn't from some cold or fever, but a result from her perverted brain! And then a word hit her.

'' Valentine's Day! It's only a few days away! I have to prepare some chocolates for Kou! What shall I make… a cake… nah, some cupcakes…nope! The old traditional chocolate's…? What to do…?!''

- '' Futaba chan, are you listening?! Do you want to go to the nurse's office?!''

Yoshioka was casted up suddenly all smiling surprising both of her friends.

- '' Thank you Yuri chan, Shuu chan, but I'm perfectly well! How about we go after school to look for some chocolates? Recipe's books or… gift ideas for Valentine's Day?!''

The two other girls even though taken aback from her sudden change, accepted her idea with happiness and they agreed to meet at the end of their classes and go browsing at the stores.

- '' Yoshioka, are you coming? Or shall I wait you outside?'' Kou asked his girlfriend when he noticed she was taking too long to gather her school stuff in her bag.

She turned her head and looked at him. Today he seemed taller, even thought he was curving his shoulders looking bored and tired from the classes. She averted her eyes from him to hide her blush, keep on fixing her school bag.

- '' Emh…Kou '' she mumbled. She didn't want to tell him what she had planned to do, to reveal she was planning to make some chocolates for him, or buy him a gift. She thought to surprise Kou on that day, either they went for date or not. But… on the other hand, she didn't want to leave him return home alone and probably sound suspicious. She looked around to see if he was still here Kominato kun, but he wasn't. The classroom was empty, except them. '' Darn it!'' she thought.

- '' Have you lost anything or are you searching for someone?!'' he asked her simple, stepping near her.

Futaba closed at last, her bag and stared at Kou still searching for an answer. She didn't have the time though. Kou was a few inches away from her, leaning his head close. His nose just barely brushed her top of her head and her shiny hair. He sighted.

- '' What's wrong? Is it again about the transfer issue?'' he asked her slowly rubbing his chin on her head.

The issue is an issue, she thought but it wasn't the issue that moment. Although she wanted to tell him everything about her plans, she stubbornly stayed mute; moreover, every time Kou was so much near her, something was blocking her mind from any other thoughts and many times, even words.

- '' No, it's not that…it's nothing really'' she murmured eyes half closed cherishing his warmth on her hair.

- '' Then what is it…'' he insisted with his nose now buried in her hair.

- '' Kou… um…''

His warm breathing, inhaling and exhaling within her hair, caused her shivers all over her body. Futaba clutched his sweater and left a deep sigh. She loved these moments. Moments that seemed endless; he and she, all alone sharing their tender warmth with a growing intimacy that every time left her mind empty and her face red as a poppy.

- '' Yoshioka, did you change your shampoo?!'' he asked her inhaling deeper, '' I believe it was sweeter than this one…'' Kou's hand went up and cupped her cheek softly.

Futaba wasn't surprised that he noticed. He always notices her changes. From her lipstick, that most of the times he hated it and made her to swipe it of; to her perfume and her shampoo.

- '' Yes, it's different… it's a Christmas gift from Yuri, lemon scent…'' she whispered leaning her head closer to his chest, '' …you don't like it, Kou?''.

How could he make her forget everything? How he could lead their talk the way he wanted, she was unable to understand.

- '' It's… nice…'' he simple murmured with his fingers lightly caressing her jaw line.

She raised slowly her head up pushing his, a bit away from her hair, eyes wide.

- '' It's nice but what?!'' she believed he hated her new shampoo, as well its scent.

- '' But nothing Yoshioka, why are you getting all flared up?! I just asked something,'' Kou answered, one hand still on her cheek, the other went to her back.

- '' I mean… you must hated it to say that way!'' she said back, kind sad and irritated. He glanced at her, with his mysterious style.

- '' I didn't say that…'' he half smirked.

- '' Kou! Don't tease me! You didn't say it, but that's what you meant!'' her face all flushed, trying not to think of his fingers that started making circles on her back. Kou leaned closer on her pink face, staring at her rosy lips, which were slightly trembling from her annoyance, thinking how cute she was at that moment, but truly unaware of it.

- '' I'm…not'' he whispered and brushed his lips on hers.

'' Kou!''

Futaba said in her mind holding her breath. He was so sneaky. '' He must have known that I can't say anything to him when he kisses me!''. She half closed her eyes, tight her grip on his sweater and waited for his kiss to deepen. But Kou didn't do anything; he let his lips merely brushing hers and whispered again nearly on her mouth.

- '' Yoshioka…today… while you'll be searching… for valentine's gifts… why don't you… say to Makita… next time… she'll give you a chocolate flavor shampoo…?''

She gasped and opened her eyes wide open.'' How… when…'' He must have heard her chat with the girls earlier, or Kominato kun pretended to be sleeping and listened their talking! ''Boys!''.

Kou was still an inch away from her mouth, but not touching it. He smirked full of himself with bright pink cheeks.

'' Chocolate shampoo?! Kya…! You are so sly Kou…''

- '' …so sneaky…'' she mumbled and left herself to hide in his tender embrace.
