<DAY OUT IN TOKYO, AINA POV>

I wake up feeling groggy and light headed. I turn to my side and see my mother and sister sleeping beside me, the last night incident coming back to me. I was just sat there, reading my book when suddenly my heart began to hurt so much to the point where I couldn't breath and I ended up in a coughing fit. I hear my phone ring, but I couldn't reach it no matter how hard I try. I knew it would be Tezuka calling, he always would at that time. Eventually I managed to get it, hoping he didn't hang up but he didn't and as I picked up, my coughing got worse and I dropped my phone.

After that it was just black for me. I sigh, the sound alerting my sister awake and my mother, they both hug me gently but tightly, saying prayers that I'm alright. I giggle, smiling at them both as they wipe tears of their faces. A knock is heard and my mother goes to answer it, Tezuka comes in wearing casual clothes, I found it handsome that he was wearing something other than his school uniform. The black shirt fitted him perfectly with dark denim trousers and trainers. It looks like its cold outside as he wore a winter jacket of some sort.

"Good morning," he greets, his deep baritone voice never ceases to make me blush and smile. I greet him a morning, my mother and sister smile gently, "will you be able to go out today? If not that's fine, we can just sit in here and read together," he asks, taking a seat next to my sister.

"Mn, I think I'm alright to go out. Mama, is it ok?" I ask my mother and she looks a little worried, but then my sister comes in and assures her.

"I'm sure with Tezuka-kun by her side, he won't let anything happen to her, but of course, it is your choice, Ai," my sister says and I nod, agreeing to go out. My mother sighs, then with a gentle smile she helps me change. Tezuka excuses himself as he waits outside whilst I get ready, my sister accompanying him. I could faintly hear their conversation outside, but it was hard to understand as I couldn't figure out what to wear. I haven't been outside properly, like an outing in a while so I settled with a white turtleneck, a black checkered trouser dungaree, fluffy socks courtesy of my mum and boots to keep me warm.

When I open the door, Tezuka had a tint of red to his cheeks, looking at me. I giggle and my sister and mother hug me tightly, saying to be careful and I nod, thanking them both. Truth be told, it was very cold outside indeed. Autumn is falling upon us and I'm excited.

"Let's go to a small cafe, get in the warmth," he suggests and I nod, smiling gently as we walk side by side – our hands brush against each other's slightly and I blush. I gently glance up and I see he is too and I smile to myself. We make it to the café and he opens and slides the chair for me, in to which I thank him kindly, a proper gentleman. I could hear some girls whisper and giggle at him, blushing and saying how hot he looks.

"A rose amongst weeds, huh," I whisper, not realising I said it aloud and he looks at me from the menu confused. I giggle and explain, "gomen, I didn't realise I said it aloud. You're just like a rose, too. You stand out amongst everyone else, amongst the weeds that Roses reside in," I say, glancing back down to my menu and then something unexpected came from his mouth that makes me flush a bright crimson.

"Then you're my fertilizer amongst others because you made me discover feelings I didn't think I had," he says and upon realising wha he said he flushes a dark crimson too. I giggle, a little too loudly. I can't believe he actually used a plant hit up line... ahhh how cute. I thought to myself, smiling. Once we finally knew what we wanted, we waited for our orders to come. After some time my warm water with lemon comes in and his cappuccino smells good but I can't have anything sugary.

The day goes on smoothly, by the end of it we ended up in a book store, looking for books we both like. I couldn't help but buy every possible nature or plant book that I come across and when I couldn't reach one book I wanted, I huff in frustration. I then felt a strong chest from behind me and a long arm grabbing the book, I turn around to see Tezuka up close to me, my height not much smaller than he is but my big chest is against his chest, making him flush a little and I do too. He gives me the book, then with a small bow I thank him.

"A novel?" He asks, glancing at the book and I nod.

"Mn, sometimes I want to read something else," Isay, giggling as I place it in my bag of books. We make our way to the cashierand paid for our books, I got about 5 in total whilst he only got 2 – one abouttennis and the other becoming professional in the sports world. He has a dreamand he's aiming for it, how nice. I thought to myself all the time what I wantedto be when I grew up, graduating school... but the thought is now far gone withmy heart. We make our way back to the hospital, our hands magically intertwine withboth of us being fine with it.
