Warming a Frozen Heart

Vacation

CHAPTER 15
Vacation

-Kyousuke-

If I ever forgot to mention something about the school's vacation routine, then I'm saying it. The school gives a two-week vacation every month and a half. So now I'm here in my room with JC- who is still sleeping when it's eleven in the morning already.

"Hey sleepyhead, wake up."

She groaned. "No!" she spat in a childish voice. "Total baby," I muttered.

I scooted over to the curtains and pulled it all away, making the noon sunlight flash directly on her whole bed. "Argh! Dammit you stupid dog! You're taking my precious sleep away."

"Riiight," I said. "I better take it away from you because you're oversleeping." I pulled the sheets away from her, further exposing her to sunlight. She rolled and squirmed away from the light like a vampire. "Argh! Close the curtains! I'm up already!" she whined. "The light-- what the hell just close the curtains already!"

"Fine." I sighed and fulfilled her wish. "There. Now get up. Let's eat."

She growled and stood up, stomping hard on the floor and making her way to the kitchen. I followed her and handed her the food. "Were you up late last night?"

"No."

"Then why did you oversleep?"

"Because I always oversleep and I do not like people taking away sleep from me!" she grumbled.

"Okay, okay. Calm down." I took a good look at her. Her hair was a little messed up- she still had morning hair. Right! I find her cute with morning hair.

"What the hell are you gawking at, you stupid dog?" she asked bluntly. I didn't notice her finish her food. "You're staring hard. Creep."

"I just find you cute with morning hair."

Her face turned red a little. "Another of your disgusting fetishes..." she mumbled.

"Hey, it's not a fetish! It's just cute on you!"

-JC-

The smell of cherry blossoms in the air can not be any more stronger than this. This dog in front of me is just so fragrant with that flowery yet manly smell. I flattened my messy hair and growled at him. "Ha, then find a girlfriend who will wake up with morning hair every day."

He sighed. "I'll use the shower later. If you're gonna use it, use it now."

I stood up and headed straight to the shower, taking a bath. When I got out, fully dressed in shabbily chosen clothes, I saw the sushi planted on the couch and sleeping. He stirred when I closed the bathroom door with a slam, though. "I've never seen you wear anything girly, you know, except for your uniform. You always wear things like that- loose shorts and huge shirts. Even in when we went out for sembreak you just wore jeans and a polo."

"Such a picky bastard," I muttered. "If you want to see some girl wearing something girly, get Margaret and let her model for you."

"I'm just stating an idea..."

"Of what?"

"Nothing, nevermind. I just want to see you in a dress or something. The girliest thing I've ever encountered on you was when you ran off. To think that you wore the hoodie, the skirt and the shoes in a not-so-feminine manner. I mean, they were all blue!"

"So what?"

He sighed. "Want to go out on a date with me?"

Heat crept up my cheeks. "W-what?"
