Growing Feelings -Io X Tsumiki FanFic -

Chapter 1 - Morning Greeting Plans

"Haa..."

Tsumiki breathed slowly into the warmth of her white fluffy scarf. She leaned a little against the wall, while listening to the stirring sounds of hustling-bustling people moving about, and trains fill the Nekogekaigan Station. 

"Haa...."

It was yet the beginning of another year of high school, and Tsumiki was determined to greet Io, her long-time crush; properly on the first day. Last year's first day greeting to Io didn't really turn out so well. Her heart thumped a little faster just by thinking about Io. She closed her eyes, trying to picture the perfect 'Morning Greeting' scenario in her mind..

Io found Tsumiki waiting for him, out in the winter cold. He approached her.

"Ohayo, Io."

She gave an intent nod, her purple orbs looking into his black ones.

He gave her a small smile, and patted her gently on the head.

"Ohayo, Tsumiki." 

Tsumiki's cheek's reddened. She liked it when Io petted her. She looked down at the snow-overed, icy floor..

"Ohayo, Tsumiki."

Tsumiki stiffened a little. Her neko ears popped out of her head. She could recognize that voice anywhere. She nervously turned to face him, but she didn't end up looking..

"O-o-o-ohayo..I-I..Io."

Well, all that self preparing and scenario planning went down the drain. She felt a bit disppointed in herself. Where did that little bit of confidence go..? Io would never acknowledge her now..

Io gave a small smile and petted Tsumiki's head. Her cheeks reddened once again, even more than before. 

"Let's go."

Tsumiki nodded in response. She definitely felt warm now.

The two left the station, off to Nekoge Perfectual High School.

Hahaha, well at least Tsumiki still got a pat on the head. I decided to start this fan fic from the start of the year, at the same place where the anime started off. I'm not trying to copy, or anything, so don't worry. ^^
