Data (Houka InumutaXOCX Uzu Sanageyma)

Chapter 2

---Katsu's P.O.V---

I don't think it's fair at all! I wanted to go to school and see the transfer student! But I got sick! Well, Satsuki assigned Houka to take care of me, so at least I'll be with a friend. I sit in bed, crossing my arms.

"Please?" I ask.

"No." Houka sits on a chair next to me, typing on the computer.

"Why not?" I pout.

"Because you're sick." He keeps his bored tone.

"No I'm not." I protest.

"Yes you are." He says, showing me my temperature of 100 degrees.

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Why"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"No"

"No"

"Damn!" I curse.

"Reverse psychology doesn't work on me." He almost smiles.

"I'm bored." I whine.

"Then do something." He responds.

"Like what?" I sit up.

"Whatever you want." He shrugs.

"Ughh. I don't knoww." I hold my head in my hands, feeling my burning forehead. "I know!" I spring up, cracking my neck in the process. "Oww!" I hold my neck.

"Don't do that! You'll hurt yourself!" He reaches out but then pulls his hand away. I look over at him and laugh.

"You don't need to be afraid to touch me, I'm not going to break." I smile.

"I know that." He snaps.

"Anyway, about what I was excited about. Being sick, alone, and bored is no fun. So, you're going to hang out with me." I grin.

"But, I have homework-" I cut him off.

"I, Katsu Kiryuin, Vice President of Honnouji Academy, excuse you from all of your homework for the day." I declare.

"Can you even-"

"Yes." I say, half-sure. "Now, let's go have fun!" I cheer. He puts away his laptop and sighs. "Okay. Let's play chess!" I say and get out a chess board. I sit on my legs and he joins me, sitting on the bed like that as well. I'm the white pieces and he's the black ones. We play for a long time. I can see him start to break a sweat. This is a really intense game. Soon, I win. "That was fun!" I smile. He looks up at me and pushes his glasses up his nose.

"You're really good at chess, Milady." He says. I nod. "What else..." I think. "Let's color!" I smile.

"Color? Milady, we aren't five..." He starts.

"I WANT TO COLOR!" I yell.

"Shh, Milady, please! Fine. I'll color with you!" He shushes me. I grin. I've always gotten what I want. I bring out my art stuff and draw and color a picture of all of us. I draw Satsuki shining, with me behind her. Uzu, Houka, Nonon, and Gamagoori are below us. I look over to see Houka staring at me with nothing on his paper.

"Where's your art?" I ask. He's obviously been watching me this whole time.

"I, uh, don't draw. I don't draw well." He admits.

"Want me to teach you?" I ask.

"That-uh-you-uh-I-" He struggles. I nod. I walk over and grab his hand. I sketch a face with his hand. I finish the sketch and look at him. His face is red. Is he okay?

"Are you okay? You look a bit red. Are you sick?" I ask, putting a hand to his forehead. He shakes his head. I shrug. "Okay. Let's have a movie marathon! But first, tea." I laugh. He nods and gets the tea. I watch him quickly make some tea. I never noticed how cute he looks from this angle...He walks back and we drink tea, talking and laughing. He's acting so weird now that it's only us two. He usually never laughs, like Satsuki. Soon, it's time for the movie marathon. He makes dark chocolate popcorn. We watch a comedy movie first. I'm surprised at how many times he's laughed. Then we watch a scary movie. Bad idea! I've been clinging onto his arm this entire time. We then watch an action movie and I relax. I cheer as the character achieves his goal. We watch a few more different types of movie until it's time for the final one. A romance movie. I'm kind of happy, scared, and sad. I've never had anyone to watch movies with before. Mother and Satsuki have always been too busy. I'm happy because I've finally had someone to watch movies with. I'm scared because it's a romance movie and something might happen. Like, him kissing me or something. But I wouldn't really have a problem with that...would I? And I'm sad because the movies are ending and soon, it's going to be time for him to go home. I'm also really tired. Houka turns the movie on and I watch it with him. It's called Titanic. We get to the part where the main characters kiss and I blush. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Houka looking at me with a slight blush on his face. The scene ends and another scene comes up. This one is even more romantic. Houka looks at me again and this time, I turn my head to face him. He suddenly connects our lips and I blush a whole new set of red. He immediately pulls away, realizing what just happened. He gets on the ground and bows to me.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" He apologizes. I laugh. He looks up at me.

"Don't apologize, Houka. There's nothing to apologize for." I shake my head and he sits up.

"But, I didn't ask to kiss you." He points out.

"You don't need to ask before you do anything. You have rights. I'm not Satsuki. You don't need to treat me like her. I'm not as important..." My voice dies down at the last part. I'm inferior to her. I hate being inferior to people other than Mother. He immediately jumps up.

"What?! Yes you are! You are just as important as Satsuki!" He argues. I wave my hand.

"Whatever. I don't have the strength to argue. You can leave, if you'd like. I'm going to bed." I say and walk up to my room. I lie down in my bed, half asleep. I can hear Houka sigh as he lifts me up and covers me with the blankets. I try to suppress my blush as he kisses my forehead gently.

"You're more important than Satsuki. To me, at least." He whispers and I fall asleep, wondering how that could be possible.
