Later that night Hiro's mother came into the room with several boxes of pocky.

"Shuu-kun?" She called out, spooky-like, into the dark room.

"Kami-san?" I asked using the nickname I gave her, affecting the appropriate 'fearful' tone.

"Look Shuu-kun!" She said turning the light on quickly. "I brought you pocky!"

"Is it strawberry?" I asked perking up.

"Of course!" She laughed at the predictability of the situation.

"YAY!" I yelled, exclaiming my joy with the added bonus of waking my sleeping Hiro.

"What is it now Shuu?" He asked groggy.

"Kami-san brought me pocky!"

"Mom?" Hiro asked looking to her. "When did you get back?" He asked looking at her in confusion.

"Oh, not that long ago…" She said placing the pocky down on the table. "Well, be sure to come home tonight…try not to miss school tomorrow, too…ok Hun?"

"Yes mom…" He said as she walked out of the room.

"So…Shuu?" Hiro asked watching me pause in my bite. When he blinked I quickly pulled on my dog costume and tilted my head to the side, pocky sticking out of my mouth.

Hiro couldn't resist my irresistible charm. Hiro leaned forward and began eating the other end of my pocky stick. After the shock that my charm worked wore off, I quickly finished my half too. Our lips met in the middle, Hiro's lips tasting of cookie and mine of strawberry cream.

"Hiro-"

"Shh…" He replied cutting me off.

"Sit with me?" I asked pulling back the blanket. Again in my moment of cuteness, Hiro's fate was again sealed.

Hiro slid into the bed and pulled me up onto his lap. He buried his head into my pink hair trying to hide the tears that slowly slid down his face. I sucked in a breath as I felt Hiro's cold tears land on my shoulder.

"Hiro-"

"I almost lost you," he said again cutting me off. "I almost lost you…I-I thought…"

"I'm here Hiro, I'm here…" I said turning slowly and painfully in Hiro's lap. "You won't loose me…" I said bringing my lips to his. Hiro pulled back slightly, only to place his mouth over my ear. He nibbled on my ear and I couldn't withhold a moan. He placed butterfly kisses along my jaw line before trailing down my neck pausing at my collarbone. I felt him look up at me; my eyes were closed and if my face showed my expression, I'm sure it was full of bliss. He flicked his tongue out varying the pressure and I moaned again. He brought his lips down to my skin again before slowly sucking there. I couldn't take any more of his teasing, so I pulled his head up to my face and kissed him full on the lips.

"I-I love you Shuu…." Hiro said pulling me in for another kiss.

"I…love you too, Hiro…" I whispered leaning forward.

A squeal interrupted our thoughts and when we turned to the source of the noise we wanted to die of embarrassment. About 15 nurses were standing behind the glass window that allowed others to see into the room. We blushed at the sight, Hiro reddening even more seeing his mom somewhere in the back. The nurses all had their hands to their faces and hearts in their eyes.

I got up and gave them all a wide smile, before I closed the curtains. A pathetic whine could be heard on the other side of the glass. I giggled at the sound.

"Where were we?" Hiro asked looking to me with a hungry glint in his eye. I knew I couldn't do anything worthwhile in this condition…

"I-uh-you-uhm-you were about to-to-uhm…give me a g'night kiss and leave…?" I asked walking over to my bed.

"Right." Hiro said as he tucked me in. He leaned over and kissed me hard on the lips before he pulled back to kiss me lightly on the forehead.

AN:/ 9/28/11 I can't BELIEVE I spelt Pocky, Pokey. Damn you spell check. Damn you to hell. So hopefully this is better quality that it was previously. I may think of doing glimpses through the years between now and the anime...but It's been a LONG time since I've seen gravitation, I may have to go back and watch it.
