Confused, he walked into the nurse’s office, absolutely drenched in some hot-pink substance. Of course, he knew it was paint, but it seems like no one else cared to listen. Seemed pretty strange to send someone to some nurse’s office because he fell asleep in some big building’s yard... Oh well, if they can help clean the paint out of his hair, it wouldn’t matter in the end.

About a week after Tsumiki and Shiori’s last meeting the latter arrived at the nurse’s office once again, thankfully unharmed and in perfect health. Rather, she had come for their first aid lesson, as her friend had finally been able to gather all the supplies needed as well as the nurse’s permission to do so. While she was excited to learn some new skills from one of her favorite teachers, she also was a bit concerned--would Tsumiki be comfortable and confident enough not only to teach her, but possibly an entire class as well?

Shiori didn’t want to push her previous idea on her any more than she had been, so she was careful to make sure that she wouldn’t bring it up at all--or at least, not until the end of their lesson. Even if she had confidence in Tsumiki, Tsumiki needed to have confidence in herself--but she was more than happy to help her with that, if she wanted her to. So with an open mind and a light heart, she stepped into the nurse’s office with a smile, ready and willing to learn.

Tsumiki blinked as she felt something going through her hair, giving a slightly jump as she wasn’t too sure what going on. A hand flew to her head to make sure that nothing had landed on her head only to blink in further confusion as her hand almost instantly came into contact with another one.

“U-umm..” she nervously turned her head to see who it was, “O-oh Shima, it’s j-just you.” she said with a sigh of relief. “For a-a second I thought something h-had landed on me and w-was crawling through my hair.”

                      “Hi Tsumiki-san~!” Answered in a cheery tone and showing a big grin. "Um... I was tryin' to surprise ya. Did it worked?” If her words are to go by it seems he accomplished his little prank, however wasn’t completely certain; having to ask her. After all it has been around two weeks since the first time he came to this place and wanted to test if she remembered him or not.

Tsumiki glanced over towards the entrance as she heard the telltale sign that someone was coming into the nurse’s office. “A-ah good–oh! Shiori! It’s so n-nice to see you.” she smiled upon recognizing who it was. “And t-thank you.” she added before her eyes traveled down to the cake the other was holding, eyes widening a little. “Did y-you make that? Just for t-today?” she asked, almost in disbelief that Shiori would do something so kind for the nurse just for her birthday.

With a nod and a giggle, Shiori flashed the nurse a warm smile before answering, hoping she hadn’t overwhelmed her too much with such an extravagant surprise. “Mhm...it’s devil’s food cake, but if you don’t like it, I can always make something else...”

“I-I wouldn’t say t-that you made me uncomfortable.” she replied, bringing her free hand up to scratch the side of her cheek. Though she guessed that she couldn’t blame him for thinking so. Especially with how often she tended to tense up around most human contact. But when one experienced a lot of bullying in their past she supposed that a lot couldn’t be done to keep from falling into bad habits or reacting to things in the wrong way. She blinked at his request. “Oh w-well um, I suppose so. But are y-you really comfortable like that? I mean wouldn’t you e-end up with a stiff back if you continued to slump o-over like that?”

Makoto smiled a little more at Mikan as she did not seem to mind his drowsiness or the closeness he had unintentionally shared with her. Still, he knew Mikan’s pain better than most--he too was the target of bullying. Perhaps that was why he felt so close to her and wanted to learn more about her, and even help her become stronger herself... maybe even find something to hope for in her life.

“Hello, Tsumiki-san!” said Makoto as he walked into the nurse’s office. “Happy White Day! I hope you’ve been having a good day so far!” He held out some presents for her. “Please accept these gifts from me! Be sure not to eat the sweets too quickly, or you might get a stomach-ache!”
