Days past but nothing interesting has happened. (y/n) was safe. Hanako was clingy fine. And Minamoto was content (mostly).

Hanako sits on the bathroom window sill. He sighs. Another day without (y/n) I guess. Geez. This is getting boring. When can her foster parents unground her? Hanako crosses his arms and pouts. This seriously sucks. "HANAKO!!!" Hanako falls off the window sill. "What? What happened?!" he shouts, scrambling to his feet. He hears a laugh and looks up.

He stares at the figure in the bathroom. "(y/n)?! What are you doing?!" The girl smiles. "Surprise! I was ungrounded early for my good behavior!" she giggles. "Really?!" The girl nods. "Hooray!" Hanako shouts, jumping onto (y/n) to hug her. The girl braces herself for impact but feels nothing. She looks up. Hanako was floating in the air, inches away from her. He stopped midair.

(y/n) stared at the strange sight. "Please?" the boy asks. (y/n) smiles. At least he remembers. "Sure, I guess." the girl says. Hanako smiles and falls onto her, knocking her onto the ground. He wraps his legs and arm around the poor girl and squeezes her tight. "Whydidyouhavetobegroundedforsolong?Imissedyouanditwassoboringwithoutyou!Don'tyoudareevergetgroundedagain!" he shouts. Is he reciting tongue twisters now?! (y/n) gasps for air as it was being squeezed out of her. "H-hanak..." she breathes. The boy looks down at the slowly turning purple girl and lets go. The girl wheezes.

She looks up at Hanako. Hanako smiles. She blushes and looks away. Oh? What's this about? "Is something wrong (y/n)~" the boy asks, smiling. The girl continues to avoid his gaze. "Um... could you uh... get off me?" she asks, shyly. Hanako blinks. "Huh?" He looks down.

The girl was on her back, lying on the floor while Hanako sat on her abdomen. Hanako blushes when he realizes. He quickly scrambles off of the girl, faces as red as a tomato. The girl sits up, still blushing. Hanako clears his throat. "S-sorry." he mutters. "Yeah, i-... it's good." the girl says, awkwardly. Awkward silence fills the room.

"So... what do you wanna do?" Hanako asks. The awkwardness was physically painful. (y/n) cringes slightly. "I'm just here to supervise you so..." she states. "Oh? So that's what you consider this as?" "Huh?" the girl asks, look up at the boy. "You're just here to supervise me? Nothing more?" (y/n) blinks.

"Um... no, nothing more...?" Hanako's face fell, clearly not the answer he wanted. "I see." He walks over to the window sill and reclaims his seat. Is he... upset? "Hanako?" Hanako looks up at the girl. Suddenly she doesn't know what to say. She hasn't thought that far. "I- um well... like I... ehhhh" she stutters. Hanako watches her in confusion. "Uhhhh hehe... nevermind..." the girl grumbles.

What is she trying to say? Hanako looks at her curiously. (y/n) stares at the ground. "Hey, (y/n)." he says. She looks up at him. "Do you... enjoy being here?" Pause. "W-what do you mean?" she asks. "You know..." Hanako blushes and looks away. "Do you enjoy my company?" The girl blushes and gulps. She stares at the floor beside her again. "I... I guess so." she mumbles.

Hanako watches her as she fiddles with the ends of her dress. He stands up and floats over by her side. "W-what are you doing?" she asks, as the boy cups her face in his hands. "Just... hold still for a moment." he says. The girl tenses up and Hanako comes closer. The boy leans in and pecks the girl on the cheek. He backs away.

"... w.... I..." the girl stutters, face hotter than the sun. "wha... a.. I.. gah....a..." Hanako watches, blushing quietly. "What was that for?!" she eventually shouts. "It's a protection charm. So you won't be vulnerable to attack." he says, rocking back and forth on his feet. The girl takes a moment to process what he just said. "Oh."

Hanako looks up. She looked almost... disappointed. Is she...? "Hey-" "I'm fine." the girl interrupts. I'm stupid. Of course he wouldn't kiss me because he likes me. Geez. Why do I care anyways? Hanako stares at her. She bites her lip. Concerned, he cups her face in his hands again. She slaps his hands away from her face. "Don't touch me!" she snaps.

She turns around and faces the wall. What's wrong now?! Dammit, what did I do? Hanako hits himself on the head. "(y/n), I-" "Stop. I'm not mad." she says. How are you not mad?! She turns around and faces Hanako. "You're really inconsiderate, you know that?" she says as she walks towards Hanako who backs up the closer she gets.

"You do things and you never ask permission first until you make the other person uncomfortable. You need to ask before you do anything! You're also super clingy and grab onto me at random intervals! It's really annoying. Do you even think before you touch me? You're so handsy and you say the most inappropriate things at the worst time!" The girl backs the ghost up against the wall. She slaps her right hand onto the wall.

"But..." She looks away and says, "I suppose you're nice enough." Hanako blinks before blushing. "Though you really shouldn't go around kissing people!" she snaps, pointing her left pointer finger at his nose. "They're going to get the wrong idea and well..." "What she's trying to say is she doesn't want you to kiss anybody but her."

(y/n) stiffens and twists her head around immediately, her hair slapping Hanako in the face. "Ow!" he shouts, rubbing his face. She looks back at Hanako. "O-oh I'm sorry I-..." No. 5 laughs. "I didn't know you could be so aggressive (y/n)! You're usually so quiet and shy in class!" he points out. The girl steps back from Hanako. "Well, yeah." she says. "I don't need people noticing me. It's troublesome." No. 5 raises an eyebrow.

Oh crud. "Why are you here anyways?" the girl says quickly changing the subject. "Hm? Oh! There's an apparition grabbing students by the lockers. A student just passed out of fright. It's getting out of hand." he says. Hanako fixes his hat and looks at me. "Well, we have the perfect way to catch him huh?" he says, about to grab my arm when he stops short. I look at him and move my arm away from his body. He awkwardly shifts back into his own bubble of personal space.

No. 5 raises an eyebrow at the gestures. "We'll be right over." (y/n) says. No. 5 nods suspiciously and leaves. Hanako fiddles with the ends of his shirt. (y/n) smiles. She pats him on the head. "You're improving!" she says. Hanako smiles slightly. (y/n) suddenly gets an idea.

"You're reward." she says as she leans in and gives him a peck on the cheek. The boy stiffens up, bewildered. There. A taste of your own medicine. The girl grabs Hanako's hand. "Let's go!" Hanako blushes. "U-um sure!" he says, fixing his hat over and over again. The two walk out of the bathroom, the girl walking in front, smiling, Hanako holding his hat, staring at the ground.

I.... I do enjoy your company, Hanako! It's... kinda hard not to. Oh whatever.
