9. A Fool's Festival

"My love as deep: the more I give to thee,

The more I have, both are infinite."

- William Shakespeare

Sano Manjiro was, for lack of better words, awestruck when he saw you walking towards him from the distance. It was clear to the girl walking beside you that he was struggling for any words to say, with the way his eyes widened slightly and he started fidgeting with the edge of his own kimono.

"You look really nice, (y/n)," he finally managed, though Akihiko and (f/n) knew that he was understating how he felt by a whole bunch and (f/n) cleared her throat. "I mean, beautiful," Mikey corrected as (f/n) nodded in satisfaction.

"You too, (f/n)," Akihiko complimented," The flowers compliments the color of your eye."

"Hey hey, should I have said something like that?" the shorter blonde "whispered" to Akihiko, but his eyes were trained on you as he grinned.

"Nah, I think she got what you wanted to say," the brown haired boy replied, smiling.

"Let's get going," (f/n) hurried them up impatiently," I want to look around!"

Obeying her words you started towards the entrance, admiring the sights and items on sale, but wished you had gone to Musashi Shrine instead. If it had been any other situation Mikey would have been bored out of his head and probably would have started throwing a mini-tantrum.

But this was for Pah.

(f/n) and Akihiko more or less knew what was going on so they weren't going to start complaining unless Mikey said something about it, though you caught them exchanging exhausted and bored glances from time to time.

"You know, (n/n), it was nice of you to think of Pah," Mikey said as he looked around.

"Well it wasn't me," you admitted," It was Peh, actually."

"Wonder why he couldn't have come here himself," (f/n) grumbled beside you and Mikey laughed.

"He was quite angry, alright," Mikey said," If I and Ken-chin hadn't made up, he probably would've-"

"Mikey?" Confused about why he stopped mid-sentence, the two of you came to a halt and your blood ran cold when your eyes met, knowing at once what he was thinking about. "No, he wouldn't."

"(y/n), I have to go. You continue with (f/n) and Akihiko."

"But Mikey-" You protested, but he cut you off.

"I'll be fine!" He smiled," I'll call you when I make sure everything's alright okay?"
