For Another World

Happy Valentines Day!

(It's a little late, but I hope you enjoy! This takes place before the Shimon arc.)

I woke up that morning with a bit of a headache. Okay, maybe it was more like a really painful headache. Maybe it was because I slept so late last night - well, this morning after finishing homework I forgot about because I was training with dad after school. But just five hours of sleep shouldn't give me this much of a problem. I stared at the ceiling, frowning at the throbbing. I turned to the wall, bringing the covers closer around me.

A knock sounded and the door opened.

"Nee-chan?"

I was silent for a second before responding. "Yes, Yuu?"

"Dad's wondering when you'll come down for dinner."

"Tell him I'll be down in ten minutes; my head hurts."

Yuujin was quickly at my side after I said that. "Your head? Do you have a fever?"

He reached over and put a hand on my forehead, feeling for a hot temperature. I turn my head to him, grabbing his hand and giving him a small smile of reassurance.

"I'm fine," I tell him, "it's just a headache."

He looked at me a little skeptically, hesitated, then nodded, getting off my bed. He reached into his pocket and pulled something out, holding his hand out to me. I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Take it." He grinned. "I bet you forgot what day it is."

I blink. What day is it?

My hand snaked out from under the covers and reaches for his outstretched hand, palm up. He drops the item into my hand and I stare at it for a second before chuckling, my head throbbing at the pressure.

"Happy Valentines Day, Satsu-nee!" Yuujin grinned.

"Thank you." I hold the piece of chocolate in my hand, smiling. "Now get out, I'm gonna get ready."

"Roger!"

He gives me a salute and walks out, closing the door behind him. Well, that got my spirits up. I sit up, trying to ignore my headache and got ready for school, placing the wrapped chocolate piece onto my desk.

With everything ready, I went downstairs for breakfast. Dad greeted me right as I walked into the kitchen. Yuujin waved, his mouth full

"Mornin' Satsu."

"Good morning, dad." I greet back, placing my bag on the couch and taking my seat at the table. "Happy Valentines Day. I actually didn't get anything for you... I forgot haha..."

He turned to me with a smile, eggs, bacon, lettuce and toast placed on the plate he was holding.

"It's alright," he placed the plate in front of me. "Yuu and I knew that you were going to forget about today. And I also didn't think to remind you yesterday."

"Why remind me?" I ask, digging into my breakfast. I close my eyes at the simple, but good taste. I didn't realize that I was hungry, too.

"Don't you have a boyfriend?" Yuujin asked in a teasing tone. "Wouldn't he care about what his girlfriend gives him on Valentines Day?"

I pause, my head throbbing. Man, this damn headache even made me forget I had a boyfriend. I scowled. Dad placed a cup of milk onto the table next to my plate, looking at my face.

"Do you hate Valentines Day or something?" He asked, pointing at me. "You don't look like you like the idea of giving chocolate to your boyfriend."
