     Sitting at her desk, Yashiro attempted to doodle the little pink Mokke, though her trembling hands made the lines seem jagged and rough.  Her daydreams of Hanako had become more and more present, creating awkward moments in class and around the apparition.  In fact, the ghostly boy had asked about Yashiro's sudden tenseness, but had only gotten uncontrollable blushing and a shake of the head from the girl.  

     Yashiro sighed, slamming her hands on the desk after class had ended.  She knew she had to go in and clean the girls' bathroom for Hanako, but she was tired of the awkwardness.  The only way she could rid of the discomfort between them was to confess.  She shook her head, a rosy color dusting over her cheeks and nose.  "No!  I- I can't!  Wh-what if he says no?  What if he takes it as a joke?  You remember the Confession Tree incident!"  She thought.  She whined, pressing her face to her desk.   "Uggghhh," she groaned.   "I can't!"  She didn't realize she had yelled this out loud. Her best friend, Aoi, walked over to her, patting her on top of the head.  "Nene-chan?" She called out.  Yashiro jumped up out of surprise.  "H-hi Aoi-chan!"  Yashiro stuttered, blinking quickly.  "What's got you all flustered all of a sudden?"  Aoi asked worriedly.  Yashiro pressed the tips of her index fingers together, her thumbs sticking straight up as she shuffled her feet.  Her cheeks were more red than usual, her eyes twinkling.  "I like a boy... but I'm almost positive he doesn't like me back!  B-but still, I want to tell him!"  Yashiro explained, looking back up Aoi, tears filling up her rather large eyes.  Aoi nodded.  "Did you get fooled by a pretty face, again, Nene-chan?" She questioned.  Yashiro shook her head, and then nodded.  "Yeah, maybe... I dunno, I just really like him okay?"  

     Aoi nodded, smiling kindly.  "You should tell him!"  She suggested, sticking up her index finger as if she had just had the brightest idea in history.  Yashiro hid her face again.  "I- I can't!  Last time I confessed to someone I-"  Aoi cut Yashiro off by pressing her index finger to her lips.  "You haven't tried confessing to this new guy yet, have you?  You'll never know until you try!"

     Yashiro swallowed hard, nodding slowly.  Just the kind of advice she expected from a popular girl.  "A-anyway, I have to go.  I'll see you tomorrow, Aoi-chan!"

     Aoi nodded and trotted out of the classroom.  Yashiro sighed, following her out of the classroom.  Once her friend was out of sight, she made her way into the girl's bathroom.  

     "H-Hanako-kun!" Yashiro exclaimed, rushing over to the boy, who sat with one leg propped up on the window bench.  "Oh, hello, Yashiro," the apparition responded.  "Have you come to clean my toilets like a good little Daikon?"  Hanako snickered, setting down the cards he was using to play with the Mokke. 

     "Stop calling me a Daikon!!"  She whined.  Yashiro trembled slightly.  There was a brief interval of time where the only thing that would come from her was a series of 'uhhs' and 'uhms.' She finally found an idea.  Her face lit up a bit.  "Hanako-kun, would it be alright if I m-made another wish?  E-er, less of a wish and more of a request?  I-I don't really know how to phrase it."  Hanako raised a brow.  "Request?  I think you're asking a lot from m-"  Yashiro cut him off.  "Please, Hanako-kun! Just this once!"

     Hanako pinched the rim of his hat, tilting it downward slightly.  He smiled brightly.  "Fine, but only this one time, okay?" 

     Yashiro's face beamed a bright red, and she nodded quickly.  "T-thank you, Hanako-kun!"  She said, getting a nod in response from the boy.  "I actually need help confessing to a guy I like... again..." 

     Hanako tilted his head to the side.  "I thought you would have learned from last time, you silly Daiko-"  Yashiro silenced him with another outburst, "no mermaid scales this time, I promise!  And besides, its not Minamoto-senpai this time."  Hanako's expression seemed to fade.  He took off his hat, clutching it close to his chest.  "Tell me it isn't Kou.  That boy isn't good enough for you," Hanako mumbled.  Yashiro's blush increased slightly.  Was Hanako jealous of Kou?  Yashiro shook her head quickly.  "Ew, of course not! Kou isn't my type at all!"

     Hanako was visibly confused.  "Was it that one guy who asked you to help him sort papers and then ditched you?  Because if so, I would treat you much be- I mean, he was definitely a bit unfair to you.  You have to be careful about these kinds of things, Yashiro."  Yashiro slapped her palm to her forehead.  "Not funny, Hanako-kun.  I'm not gonna tell you who it is, I just need your help!  Like your wholesome ideas when we first met!"  Yashiro replied.  Hanako chuckled.  "I thought you didn't like my wholesome ideas?"  Hanako thought out loud.  "I do now!" 

     Hanako tapped his index finger to his chin.  "I know!! Since you really didn't get to use your sewing skills last time... because apparently everyone wants to be Minamoto's button of love..."  "Get to the point already, Hanako-kun!"  Hanako sighed.  "What a demanding little Daikon."  Yashiro took it upon herself to throw her pencil case at Hanako. 

     "Oww, that wasn't funny!'  Hanako whined as he rubbed the area of impact.  "Neither are your Daikon jokes!"  Hanako laughed, floating upwards and towards Yashiro.  "Touche.  Anyway, why don't you sew him something nice?  Like a scarf, maybe?"  Hanako suggested.  

     Yashiro nodded.  "That's a fantastic idea!"  She rushed out of the bathroom, slinging her bag over her shoulder as she ran out of the school's main entrance.  

     Hanako huffed.  "She couldn't have even be bothered to have cleaned the toilet.'  He slumped down on the floor, curling up slightly.  "I wonder who the scarf is for...  probably not me." 

     Needless to say, Yashiro spent the whole night sewing a scarf up for Hanako.  She carefully tucked it in her bag before school.

     Yashiro, being completely sleep-deprived, nearly passed out in class on multiple occasions.  It wasn't really like she was paying attention anyway; the entire day, her mind was set on her afternoon meet-up with Hanako.  

    When class ended, Aoi attempted to approach Yashiro, but Yashiro merely sped past her.  "I'll see you tomorrow, Aoi-chan!" She called out as she left.

     As she opened the bathroom door, she huffed for breath.  Hanako was nowhere to be seen.  The only beings there were the pink Mokke.  Yashiro pouted.  "Where's Hanako-kun?"  One of the Mokke responded with,  "he went to the roof." 

     Yashiro sprinted up to the roof, finding Hanako sitting there, gazing up at the sky.  "Hanako-kun?"  Hanako spun around, being greeted by Yashiro's familiar face.  "How did it go, Yashiro?"  He asked.  "What do you mean?"  Was her response.  "The scarf thing?  Don't you remember?"  Yashiro's cheeks were dusted over with a bright red.  "U-Uh, actually, I haven't given it to him yet!  Speaking of which, I have something for you, Hanako-kun!"  Hanako approached Yashiro.  "Donuts?  Yashiro, you shouldn't ha-"

     The apparition was interrupted by a fuzzy scarf being shoved towards him.  It had a striped pattern of gold and red, the less important colors on Hanako's uniform.  Yashiro scratched the back of her neck lightly.  "Th-thank you for helping me confess..."

     Hanako quickly applied the scarf to his outfit before wrapping his arms around Yashiro lovingly, pulling her close.  Yashiro let out a quiet, surprised squeak before hugging back tightly.  Hanako's  body was cold, but it was nothing Yashiro minded.  She buried her face into Hanako's chest, soaking up any warmth she could from the scarf.  Hanako smiled, pressing a kiss to the top of Yashiro's head.  As Yashiro began to speak, Hanako said one thing.

     "A spell... to reassure you that your feelings are returned."
