Chifuyu Matsuno

Backfires and Wishes

Synopsis:  It all comes down to new year night for Chifuyu Matsuno. With one question on his mind for you and weeks of praticing with Takemichi he has finally built up the confidence to ask you out. Yet when one thing goes astray the sudden anxieties become all to real for him. Will he ask you out? 

. . . 

                      Your fingers push Chifuyu's gaping mouth together, the whites of his eyes are bright, his pupils centered as they struggle to deal with the shocking reality, especially your beauty within his reach. You spare hand loosely holding the small new years wooden wish placard as well as the small permanent marker that lingers unused. The placard is empty except for the opposing print picture on the other side like the thousands sold at the shrine.

                    His face is drenched in a pale lifeless color, the cause of his gray complex was the butterflies that formed into his stomach continuously churning in nervousness. Weeks had gone by where Takemichi had built Chifuyu's ego to the point he finally built the confidence up to even ask or hint that he liked you. He squeezes his own wish placard tighter than before, questioning how much stress would it take for his placard to snap in half.

'Hi Matsu,' you pause, 'Kinda weird seeing everyone out of their usual get up,'

                    Your eyes advert to the surrounding members of the gang dispersed among the final New Year's crowd. You smile seeing all of them having a good time before you turn back towards the boy who was practically snuggled into you to make way for the large crowd trying to place their own wish cards among the small fence.

'Yeah...' he pauses and makes a soft gasp as if he's forgotten something, 'You look very pretty-' he gasps as if he's given you, his crush an insult, 'Not that you don't look pretty every single day because you do it's just-'

                    He's cut off by your head slowly tilting to the side, a look that he understood as you getting what he meant. His eyes snake to your wish card that still lingers pristine like it hadn't been within your grips for over half an hour now.

'I'm taking that you don't know what to write either?' He smiles,

'Yeah,' you pause, 'I kinda have everything I really want; good friends, fun, happiness, and I don't want to wish for anything really shallow.' you sigh,

                    Your eyes meet his once again, your hand reaches for his cheek. Brushing it gently you can practically feel the lack of blood draining for his face and quickly rushing back at your touch. Presuming he was sick you placed your fur collar; an attachment you placed on top of your kimono on cold nights around his neck. Though he wasn't cold. Quite the opposite actually. With asking you to be his girlfriend on the horizon he swore he filled both his haori and his kimono up with buckets of sweat, practically an entire olympic swimming pool. But he wouldn't give up a chance to have an item of yours so close to his face especially when it smells exactly like you.

'I'm thinking the same-' 'No you're not.' you giggled,

                    You look at the boy on his high horses as you button up the fur collar around his neck. The two of you in close proximity was only making him feel more nervous, the more his stomach churned the more the urge of vomiting consumed him.

'Chifuyu, it's your wish you are allowed to wish for a girl. I'm not saying that you can't, I'm just saying I want to wish for something that means more for me I guess.'
