Only a long while later did Kiku stop crying.
"Feeling better now?" Alfred asked with a smile as Kiku's tears stopped and all that remained was the hiccups.
Kiku nodded. "...Thank you." He mumbled. "Why did you stay with me? I don't even know you." Well, not exactly true. He did know Alfred, but only through rumors. He was quite popular in the school.
"Um... Well..." Alfred cocked his head to the side as if thinking of a reason. "I guess I felt like it was the right thing to do." He said with a shrug. "And a hero always does the right thing!" Alfred said, striking a pose and Kiku couldn't help letting out a soft chuckle.
"Hey! You smiled!" Alfred said brightly.
"H-Huh?"
"Well, you've been crying so long, I haven't been able to see you smile." "...A-Ah, I-I see..." Kiku stuttered as his face turned slightly pink. He quickly bit his lip to prevent himself from smiling.
"Hey! Don't stop smiling!" Alfred said with a pout. "Come on! Smile some more~!" He said, poking at the corners of Kiku's mouth, trying to get him to smile.
"S-Stop it. I don't feel like smiling." Kiku said, gently pushing Alfred's hands away.
Alfred frowned, crossed his arms and let out a determined growl. "Fine. By the end of this day, I'm determined to make you smile!" And without warning, he grabbed Kiku's arm and started racing down the hallway and out the school.
"W-Wait, where are you taking me?"
"Anywhere! Why stay stuffed in a building all day?"
Alfred had taken Kiku to many places that day, to the mall, a movie theater, the park... Kiku had smiled more times than he could remember, but it seemed that Alfred had forgotten his original objective. By the time they went back to the school, it was already night time.
"Ah! I had a good time today!" Alfred said, stretching his arms upward as they walked through the glass doors to the lobby.
Kiku nodded. "Me too." He said as they boarded the elevator.
"Oh, we're on the same floor." Alfred noted when they both stepped out of the elevator at the same floor. "Which side of the hallway...?" He pointed to the right and Kiku pointed to the left. "Aww...I knew it wouldn't be so lucky that we'd be next door neighbors, huh?" Alfred said with a pout. "Its no worries, I'm not that far down the hall." Kiku said with a chuckle to the American's expression. "Thank you for having me today." He said politely with a bow.
"Eh? Oh, it was no big deal. I was bored today anyways. I was supposed to meet Mathew at... OH!" He suddenly exclaimed. "Shit! I was supposed to help Mattie with a project."
"W-What?! I-I'm so sorry!" Kiku quickly apologize.
"No, no, its not your fault... I just hope he won't be too mad. ...I guess I should go find him now!" Alfred said as he took out his cell phone and started typing in a number. He waited impatiently for Mathew to pick up and when he did, he gave a quick excuse and the Canadian let out a sigh, knowing that he should've expected this.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at school...Um..." Alfred paused for a moment to think. "...I just realized I haven't asked for you name the whole time..." "...It's Kiku. Kiku Honda." Kiku said with a slightly pained sigh. How did he manage to forget to ask that...? Not that he remembered telling the other either.
"Right, sorry!" Alfred said, flashing an apologetic smile. "My name's Alfred F. Jones! Hero at your service!" He said before checking the time. "...Ah! I have to go and finish my homework!" He said and hurried down the hall. "See you tomorrow, Kiku!" He repeated.
Kiku waved goodbye quietly before going back to his own dorm. Yao was doing his homework. "Dinner's in the fridge. Just reheat it, aru."
Kiku nodded and went to retrieve the food. "So why are you so late today, aru?"
"...I met someone today." Kiku said with a small smile.
"Feeling better now?" Alfred asked with a smile as Kiku's tears stopped and all that remained was the hiccups.
Kiku nodded. "...Thank you." He mumbled. "Why did you stay with me? I don't even know you." Well, not exactly true. He did know Alfred, but only through rumors. He was quite popular in the school.
