Prince Charming - Hananene

Prince Charming

"Hanko-Kun! Hanako-Kun!"

The ghost boy stopped his mindless floating to straighten up as Yashiro ran in, waving a letter in the air excitedly. "Look what I got!"

"What is it?" Hanako asked, tilting his head in confusion. She seemed to be very excited about it, so it must be important.

Yashiro sighed happily, pressing the strange note to her chest. "It's my first love letter!"

Hanako was skeptical as he teasingly grinned at her. "Oh really~?" he said, floating closer to peer at the envelope in her hands. "And are you sure it's addressed to you this time?"

Yashiro blushed as the memories of the last time she showed him a love letter hit her. "I- I made sure to check this time!" she said, glaring at him. "It's definitely addressed to me, see!" showing him the back of the envelope, she pointed to her name, that was written there as clear as day.

To: Yashiro Nene

Hanako suddenly felt a tightening in his chest. It was a feeling he didn't like, and he found himself annoyed with whoever wrote this letter. "Can I read it?" he asked, managing to keep his playful grin on his face.

"Sure!" Yashiro, still bubbly about her letter, handed it over to him. "And be careful! It's my first love letter!"

Nodding, Hanako slowly opened it up and took out the letter. It was folded neatly in there, and was well creased, meaning that it must have been re-opened many times. The throbbing in his heart seemed to get worst when he thought of Yashiro opening the letter and reading it hundreds of times, thinking of a boy she probably never met.

Already displeased, he began to read the letter.

My dearest Yashiro,

Every time I look at you my heart seems to pound. From your beautiful teal tipped hair, to your perfect ankles, I find myself wanting to get closer to you with each passing day.

Please meet me by the gardening shed after school.

Sincerely,

Your secret admirer.

"Isn't it lovely?" Yashiro sighed once he finished reading. "He even complemented my legs!"

Hanako couldn't explain the fierce pain in his chest. Frowning, he began to crumple the letter.

"Hey!" noticing what he was doing, Yashiro lunged forwards, tackling him down and taking the letter back. "Careful! This is my first love letter after all!" she huffed, smoothing out the crinkles he made before neatly folding it back into its envelope.

Hanako floated back up, trying to act nonchalant. "So are you going to meet him?"

Yashiro sighed. "Oh, I don't know~" she said, clutching the letter to hear heart. "I am very curious but..." cupping her check, she shook her head dramatically. "Should I Hanako-Kun?"

"No" Hanako answered flatly.

"Why not?" the human girl frowned. "That's no fun! He could be a handsome prince, waiting for me as the sun sets" she sighed blissfully as she thought of it. Hanako got even more annoyed.

"You have bathroom cleaning duty after school, remember?" he said, flicking her on the forehead.

"Ouch!" her hands flying up to her face, she rubbed the spot where he flicked. "No fair! Can't I take a break just this once?' she complained.

"Nah~"

"Oh come on Hanako-Kun! I promise I will do it right after, okay?" she begged, clasping her hands together. "Please?"
