Fem! Kanato X Azusa Part 2

Hello people. I am alive.

Azusa came to a conclusion he liked Kanako. (Wow, finally) And he doesn't know what to do with this newfound fact.

He had seen Kou date girls before, and he recalls the only time Kou ever done something sweet for his date was giving her flowers.

Azusa could care less about flowers.

"Aren't these courting rituals of humans...? Should I just tell her or something...?"

Azusa's blunt mind could not comprehend what type of date he had to plan to satisfy Kanako, but he could as least try.

"Ah, Kanako-chan... Fancy meeting you here," Azusa closes his notebook, eyeing the vampire with gentle eyes.

Kanako huffs, "we're at school, it's impossible to not see each other. But I guess I rather like that, because I really want to see you."

She slides him a piece of paper. On closer inspection, it was a ticket for the carnival that was taking place near the outskirts of town. Ruki used to take them there when they were younger, and Azusa himself has been to it each year they arrived.

"A carnival?"

"Yeah, wanna go together? Reiji doesn't favour these kind of things a lot, so he just says no. But I figured you might come with me if I proposed?"

Azusa blinks dumbly, taking the ticket into his hands. "If you like it..."

"Great! Tomorrow night then?" Kanako smiles at him, absolutely beams when he nods. "Ah, I look forward to it already!"

Azusa just smiles, feeling his heart flutter in his chest.

Azusa couldn't find something nice to wear. He debated whether to just wear his uniform, but wouldn't that be too weird...?

(Lol poor Azusa there's nothing wrong with your uniform...)

But wouldn't a normal shirt and some jeans be too casual? He didn't know what Kanako will wear... Probably something cutesy, since Rachel had dragged her on a shopping spree for clothes after she tsked at her wardrobe.

He settles on his uniform. Why? Because he wants to. That's it. He strolls into the sitting room, where Kanako was already waiting for him.

Azusa takes in her short, ruffled skirt and kitty stockings with a blush. The shade of plum of her blouse suited her a lot.

"Oh, wait... Here... For you," Azusa takes out a small box of chocolates. Kanako smiles, "Thanks!"

Azusa returns the smile, his heart threatening to burst with butterflies.

---

Azusa has never been on a rollercoaster before. Never in all his experiences of being at the carnival.

He can positively say he is very scared. But being scared wasn't a familiar emotion to him, and the best he could manage was hardening his face.

His hair beats against his face as the car descends down, and his eyes widens when the car begins to slowly go up again.

Azusa squeezes Kanako's hand.

To his delight, her hands flips to squeeze his, and he manages to see a glimpse of her smile before the car descends again, her excited scream echoing in his ears.

Azusa hugs an Usagi plush to his chest, enjoying how squishy it was and how Kanako had won it especially for him.

Kanako was hugging one too, hers being a Neko. She hums, tying a ribbon on the neck of her Neko push.

"There! See, they match now!" She holds it out beside Usagi-chan, the rabbit and the cat sporting the same ribbon.

"I never knew you were so good at games, Kanako-chan..."

Kanako giggles, jumping up to her feet. "The carnival's gonna close soon, but let's go on the Ferris wheel there!" She points it out, like Azusa somehow didn't catch it. "There's probably less people now."

---

Azusa never noticed how close he was to the stars until now. The Ferris wheel stops at the top, the stars and the moon shining down on him, and taunting him about his tiny, dull self.

The sky was so clear from the top.

The moment his feet was back on the ground, he felt disappointed. He probably had to wait for another year until the carnival comes back to town, and it was a long, long time to wait.

Kanako must have noticed his disappointment, and squeezed his hand with her's, just like how she did on the rollercoaster hours ago.

Azusa looks at her. Kanako smiles, in her eyes reflected the stars that Azusa wanted to take as his own, brilliantly bright.

He leans in and presses his lips against hers. No other words needed to be exchanged as they continued walking, hand in hand.

Yay. It's 2 in the morning here.
