Master of Teasing

"Take my hand"

"Again, hanging out with Takagi-San today. And, she's sure to tease me and laugh at me! God, what's all this for?!"

Nishikata was in the yard of Takagi's house and stared at the sky. Suddenly there was Takagi with a bandaged leg and crutches.

- Hi, Nishikata. Good to see you, again!
- Hi... - Nishikata a looked on Takagi with suprise. - What about the leg?
- The dog bit yesterday. I'm really was scared that day.
- Oh... I am... I see. In general, we are with you... eh...
- I guess we can't walk together. - told Takagi with sadly voice.
- Uh... (Man! On the one hand, I'm glad I don't have to walk with her! I'm tired of her teasing me! But... on the other hand, I feel sorry for her. It's not her fault it happened. So, what now? Leave her alone like this, or go with her and be constantly teased? Um...)

- Nishikata? What are you thinking?
- I'm... Well, actually i... I'll walk with you.. Takagi-San.
- Really?! - eyes Takagi began to make them Shine and shimmer all colors of the rainbow. - Thank you!

Takagi and Nishikata went for a walk together. While they were walking, Nishikata noticed that Takagi was hard to walk and he asked her needs she in his for help.

- Takagi-San. Maybe I can help you somehow?
- I think so. - Takagi said with a smirk on her face. - Give me your hand.
- WHAT?!
- Well, if you don't want to help...
- *he sighed and took her hand * it doesn't mean anything... -  Nishikata said and began to blush.

They walked together holding hands. Nishikata constantly looked the other way, and Takagi laughed at him.

"Her hand... it's so soft and warm... What is this feeling? I feel so good and so bad at the same time. My heart is beating so hard, I don't know why!"

- Nishikata, you you can try to guess my riddle?
- Uh...
- If you can guess, then... I'm not going to tease you.
- ... Okay, go.
- Cool! "Always was a hugger. What's it?"
- Is this a riddle?

- Aha. You have 40 seconds.
- Um... (What could it be? Bed? No, it's too obvious. Maybe, I don't know, hands? Nope. Aw Geez! Can... eh... Shit, I don't know the answer! Probably all the same hand, so she so want to tease me. Haha. I'm smart, Takagi-San!)

- Time's up. Your answer.
- "Hands."
- ... Wrong.
- WHAT?!?! BUT... Why?
- The correct answer is this... bed.

- O_O (DAMN! I lost again! When am I going to get lucky?)
- Never.

- HOW DID YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID!?! HOW?!?! You obviously read my mind!

- Hahahahaha!!! Hahahaha! Nishikata, you're so silly. I can't read minds, it's just that you have it all written on your face.

- Grrrr!!! (When we already to the beach?)

Beach

They reached the beach where it was very quiet. The sun was shining, the sea was cool and humid, there were almost no people; Takagi and Nishikata lay down on the sand and began to look at the sky.

- Beautifully.

- Mhm... (Man, she teased me 23 times. TWENTY-THREE TIMES! God!)
- You're not going swimming with me?

- Uh.... * very red* N-No... Wait, you have a bad leg!

- Are you sure? *slyly smiled* - Takagi took the blindfold off and under it... there was no wound.

- ... You... All this time? You... YOU LIED TO ME!?!? What for?

- Because I wanted to hold your hand. And teasing you, too. Hee hee...
- ((╬◣﹏◢)) *took a breath* You could simply ask.

- (≧▽≦) Phahahaha!!! Nishikata, can you hear yourself? You're always nervous and blushing, so it's just stupid to wait for you to do that.
- *looked the other way confusedly*

Takagi came closer to Nishikata and took him by the hand, said.

- I'm glad you agreed to come with me. Even in spite of such meanness from me.

- ... You're welcome... (//ω//)

Takagi grabbed Nishikata by the hand and together they went to bathe in the sea. Nishikata though was confused a while, but then he even started to like it and they, along with Takagi had a good time.

Street

- Bye, Nishikata. Thank you for giving me this beautiful and cool day!

- yeah... bye... (Hm... For the first time in my life, I took the girl's hand. This feeling... I was pleased, bad and beautiful at the same time...)

"HE took my hand. Nishikata, eh... if only he'd known he'd hit me with a critical hit! How I like you, Nishikata! I'll never give him up again! I promise! Nishikata, my 何時までも愛する!" (love forever)

Takagi ran, all as red as a tomato.
