Chapter 8: Marguerite ~True Love~

After Okita-kun and I had come to a mutual relationship, one day had passed.
I still can't believe it, but Okita-kun had told me that he loved me.
I had been able to confess my true feelings to him thanks to everyone.
I am so happy that there's nothing that can put a downfall to this feeling!

...or that is how it is supposed to have been.

"Hey, are you listening?"
In the dusky empty classroom again, the girls glare at me.
I had been called by this gang of girls again, and so here I am.

"I heard that someone saw you, Kurimoto-san, and Okita-kun come out of the rooftop together yesterday."
The leader-like girl glares at me much more intensely than the others.

Oh...so someone saw us that time...

"I told you to not talk to him anymore, didn't I?"

"Like said, are you guys going out?"
The used tone is so harsh that it makes me flinch.
The glares I'm receiving from all frightens me.
I nearly lose my balance, but stay upright.
I take a deep breath and look up to face them, looking properly at them in the eye.

I'm not going to lie anymore, like yesterday.
I'm going to clearly tell them the truth.

"Yes, we're going out. And I do love Okita-kun."

I said it.
I was finally able to say my true feelings!

I become so happy that I ball my hands into a fist of victory which I obviously had kept it low at my side, rather than fisting the air.

To my words, all the girls' faces become much more contorted with hatred.

"What the hell? That's totally the opposite of what you had said yesterday!"
The tone of voice is much harsher now and I visibly flinch.

If I lie, I make them happy...
If I tell the truth, I make them mad...

What should I do...?

"Hurry up and break up!" Another girl demands.
When I look at her in shock, other girls start saying similar things.
"Hurry up and go tell him you want to break up!" a girl says and pushes me backwards, strongly.
I had been dumbstruck that I lose balance and stagger.
At the same time, the classroom door behind me opens.
I close my eyes and wait for the impact of hitting the floor but I am supported by someone from falling all the way.

"Oh, here you are."

I look up daringly and find...

"O...Okita-kun..."

...just who we had been talking about.
To the sudden appearance of Okita-kun, all the girls become chalk white in shock.

"I'm going to take her."
Not really caring about the situation and the atmosphere, he starts pulling my arm, taking me away from them.

Wait! The problem with me and those girls isn't solved yet! I think and try to stop Okita-kun, but before that, he stops in his steps first.
He pulls me out of the classroom, and then looks at the other girls.

"The only one who's allowed to bully her is me. Don't come near her again."
With that said, he slides shut the classroom door.
I bluntly look at Okita-kun, perplexed.
The girls in the classroom had all looked stunned too.

"Um... Okita-kun...?"
I look up and try calling out to him who just keeps pulling me further and further away from the scene.

"What?"
He looks back at me with a blink, as if nothing had happened.

I had been intending to say "no you can't bully me!" But...
the way he had said it, sounded as if it is so obvious that it had instead, made me laugh.

"...Thank you."

I smile and thank him, to which Okita-kun averts his gaze, and I think his ears blushes, if it's not the light playing tricks on my eyes.

The destination where Okita-kun takes me is always the rooftop.
It seems it is the ideal place since no one is around and it feels good.
Before I know it, it becomes my favourite spot too.

Looking down at the sight below, I sit down.
So does Okita-kun, right beside me.

...he then looks at me with a grin.

"W-what?" I ask with a wry smile placed upon my lips.
When Okita-kun grins like that, I feel something bad is coming up.

He then stands up and walks up behind me.
Just when I wonder what he's doing, Okita-kun's arms come around me from behind. And just like that, he sits down and embraces me tightly from behind.

"O-O-O-Okita-kun... This...um..."
I feel my face flush as I panic.
I feel Okita-kun's body heat from my back and my heart starts thumping more madly.

"It's okay. Nobody's here to watch," he says and then adds quietly, "but I don't mind if somebody waswatching either."

Really... What Okita-kun does is really unpredictable!I think as I try to calm my heartbeat that still beats fast and loudly.

"Hina, when was it that you fell in love with me?"
My heart still hadn't calmed before Okita-kun murmurs such things right beside my ear.
The question is embarrassing and the position we are in is so embarrassing that I answer in a stammer in a funny voice.

"T-the day I transferred!"
It takes me so much bravery to say that much and I hide my face into my knees that I hug towards myself.
I then hear him say 'I see～' mixed with his chuckles.

He's probably making fun of me.
I can totally imagine his smirk right now.

But then I feel Okita-kun's face come right beside my ear again.

"Then that's the same time as me."
When these words are murmured right at my ear, I feel my body grow hot.
I nearly look up at him in shock, but since he's so closely bound to me, I can't really do that.

"...what, you aren't going to face me?" he asks, in a slightly disappointed tone when I keep my head buried within my knees.

"I...I can't."

If you're this close to me... I can't move at all.

My heart rate is still so high.

"...Well then..." Okita-kun says, and then silence dawns upon us.
It slightly creep me out into slowly raising my head.

...and just as I do so, "atta-ck!" Okita-kun says in a monotone voice as he tickles my middle.

I burst out laughing and unintentionally look up.
I try to escape from Okita-kun's fingers, that won't stop tickling me while we still stay in the same position.

When I continuously laugh, Okita-kun's eyes meet mine.
Okita-kun stares down at me who I lean heavily against his body.
The slightly grinning face expression of his is so hot that my heart skips a beat.
When I try to sit up in a rush, Okita-kun's face comes forward, and our lips meet.
The sweet, passionate kiss makes my head feel dizzy.
I feel my body lose strength and let his body support mine as I fully lean against him.

I really wish the times like this can last an eternity...

Just when I had thought that, the door to the rooftop opens.
Shocked, I try to move away from Okita-kun in a rush.
I still feel the heat on my lips and I feel myself blush madly.
When I look around to see who had come, I find that it is our teacher, Ginpachi sensei.

It seems like... a lot of people come to the rooftop unexpectedly.

"How many times do you think you're going to flag class you brats."
Like usual, he puffs his cigarette as he makes slapping noises with his sandals he wears.

Oh yeah...I'm flagging a lot recently...

"I'm sorry," I apologise and bow my head low to my teacher.
On the other hand, Okita-kun doesn't seem like he's sorry at all as he stares towards the teacher.

"Boss, you can't just unexpectedly appear at the rooftop."

"I'm not Boss! Right now I'm Ginpachi sensei. And plus, you don't own this spot!" the teacher growled before turning back, and lazily adding "hurry up and go back to class!"

"Damn, we have no choice now do we?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah!"
Looking at Okita-kun who stands up, I also stand up in a rush.

...we can probably come here to the rooftop together to spend more time together from now.
I really wish this kind of days will continue on forever! I wish inwardly.
Just when I walk over towards the exit, I notice a flower pot bedded with beautiful blooming flowers and I stop my steps.

"Marguerite..."

I think the language of flower for this is... 'True Love'.

When I think of how nice it sounds, it makes me smile.

"Hina, what are you doing?" I hear Okita-kun's voice from the exit.

"Sorry! Coming-!" I shout and then jog over to my beloved boyfriend who I love from the bottom of my heart.

Gintama Fanfiction Class 3Z is finished!
銀魂夢小説３Ｚ、完結です！！

To those people who have read my story so far, and to those people who have given me comments, THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH ▽!
I wasn't able to come this far without my readers and supporters out there!
I always feel myself grin while I read each comment and it puts a flame to my determination to write the next chapter.
There were times when I was lost for ideas and nearly fell into slump, but I was finally able to finish this fully and completely! And I'm really glad I did! (*^▽^*)

It chapters seems not much, but in reality, this much is just about the right number of chapters for the bestヾ(＠^▽^＠)ﾉ←Oi! No its not!

I sort of tried to make myself cool and try using languages of flowers...
But because of this, I was able to know a lot of names of flowers and their meanings

And as I have mentioned in the story, the floral language for Marguerite is:
'True love'

Such good words...3 lol

Well, I'm still going to keep writing more long-term fan-fics for Okita as well as others, so I will really appreciate it if you will come to read more of it!(*^o^*)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ

My other Okita fan-fics:

The Prankster: I made this series just like 'The Bastard' series. It's very short and is about an obstinate and hard-working Shinsegumi member OC-chan x Okita-kun who thinks OC-chan is just too cute!

If you're interested, please have a read of this story too ,
Thank you!
