White Day (AixSyo oneshot)

White Day

March 14.

It was that time of the year again. My own image was reflected right back at me as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, fixing my lilac colored tie and straightening a few creases on my black suit. This day and those that followed held valuable memories and I waited for its return.

A knock on the door was heard. I permitted the person to enter. It was the professor.

"Looking good." He commented. "Ready to go?"

I nodded and grabbed the bouquet of white carnations resting on my drawer. Professor was going to be my personal chauffer today. He knew exactly what was planned and it moved him to tears for his robotic creation miraculously gained emotions. We got inside his car and drove to the rendezvous.

"I never thought this day would come." Said the professor. He was doing his best to keep his voice together. "It felt like it was just yesterday that you were created and now..."

"Everyone has to say goodbye sometime." I whispered as I focused on the passing scenery. Everything looked the way it was this day, two years ago.

'Do you remember, Syo? Do you remember this day?'

I frowned for what seemed like the billionth time. I kept checking my watch and felt my irritation grew in each passing second. My two kouhais and I had matters to discuss and they, once again, proved their incompetence by being late for 5 minutes, 43 seconds and counting.

'Their tardiness shall not be tolerated – I will triple their schedule.'

Just as I considered leaving the nearly isolated café, the door was slammed open and I knew exactly who it was.

"Gomenasai! I'm here!" My midget kouhai exclaimed, all the while panting and catching his breath.

'What's with the dishevelled look?' "You're late. Explain...and where is Natsuki?" I inquired.

"Well, it's a long story."

"You already wasted time. Might as well enlighten me why you're late, again."

Syo sighed in exasperation. "Some idiot had him knocked off his glasses so I had to chase Nat – er, Satsuki around without getting killed or horribly injured."

"Doesn't explain why he's not with you."

"About that, after I managed to get his glasses back on him, Natsuki tripped and knocked himself out in the process. I had to call Tokiya to come and get him." Syo replied.

I sighed and got up. Those two were unbelievable. "Come on, we're leaving."

"Nani!? But I just got here!" The blond male exclaimed.

"It's no use since Natsuki isn't with you. I don't want to repeat myself so we'll discuss another time." I reasoned and headed towards the door. I heard Syo whine a little before he followed me.

The two of us walked in silence and in incognito. There weren't many people around since I picked a time where it was still class and office hours of the public, but I couldn't risk anyone identifying us so I reminded my kouhais to use a disguise as precaution. Speaking of kouhais, I glanced at the one walking somewhat behind me. Syo had been acting strange these days. He wasn't as loud or as defiant like before though his enthusiasm never faded. He did most of the tasks I assigned to him without complaint. In fact, I noticed that he gave extra effort in being on time for the schedule I gave him and something told me it wasn't because of the consequences should he be late. I caught him one time pressuring Natsuki to hurry up. The taller blond told him "You're so hyped to see Ai-chan~ So cute!" I did not understand what Natsuki meant but Syo was really flustered at that remark.
