♥22♥ Summer romance part 1

Kasamatsu couldn't stop thinking about the kiss on his lips. What was this feeling? It's warm on the inside and it makes him forget about everything else. He tossed and turned in his bed, unable to forget about her words too. 

'She said she cares about me...' Just her words alone was able to render into a happy mess. He touched his lips, the scene of the kiss going in a loop in his head. He got out of the bed and then headed out to the balcony where he can get some fresh air. "I can't believe I ran away from Hakanai after she kissed me..." He was so embarrassed that he ended up belting off elsewhere. Will she think bad of him the next time they see one another during training?

At the bottom of the balcony there was an open garden for the guests to admire the beautifully made garden. Kise couldn't sleep so he thought he would take a stroll around the garden. He has been thinking about his loss against Aomine during the Interhigh. 

"Ki~se!" Harumi too was having a nice stroll of the night garden too. She was wearing a dark blue yukata and her pink hair was let down from her usual side ponytail. 

"Harumi-senpai..." 

"Mind if I join you in your stroll?" 

"Sure." 

The two of them walked on the pebble path of the garden, talking quietly to each other so they wouldn't wake anyone up. 

"Why is Senpai still up at this time?" Kise asked her. 

"I got bored so I came out to have a good look at the hotel! Plus I didn't get a chance to goof off earlier." 

"Senpai is diligent..." 

"No, no, it's because Shiki-senpai has got 'it' back." 

"What is 'it'?" 

"Her paper fan. It is a weapon she has been using to hit stupid people. Fuu has been on the receiving end of it so far and I am trying to avoid it." 

"It's made out of paper, it shouldn't hurt, right?" Harumi chuckled nervously after Kise said that and it confused him. 

"Shiki-senpai is the one hitting the person with it so of course it will be painful..." 'I can't tell him I have first hand experience of the paper fan, he will no longer respect me if he knows of it, hahaha...'

"I-I see."

"Oh!" Harumi ran ahead and she was greeted by the many fireflies and their green glow. She looked around her, admiring them as they flew here and there. She held her palms out and a firefly ended up on it. She curled her hands slightly so the firefly will illuminate the darkness made by her hands. "Kise, look! I got one!" She ran over to him and showed him the little glowing bug. 

"Woah! It really lights up!"

The firefly flew out of her hands and back to fly with the others. 

"They have a very short lifespan as an adult so they have to perform their duty before they disappear." Harumi's words made Kise look at her, "Sometimes I think people lose sight of their goals and dreams. If your life was short like a firefly's, would you have stopped at nothing to pursue your dream?" 

"Senpai, are you saying I lost sight of my goal?" 

"Let's have a good look..." She looked at him in the eyes, blue eyes meeting golden eyes, "Hmm~! I see a very pretty girl reflected in your eyes!" 

"Wha-! Senpai is a narcissist!" 

"As if you can talk!"

Harumi laughed a little too loud and she caused an angry Kasamatsu to shout down from his balcony, "Hey! Do you two have any idea how loud you are flirting?! I'm telling Hakanai about this! You can meet the paper fan the next time you wake up!"
