Day 4 of enjoying the school week with Hanako
Hanako gave her a reassuring smile.
Y/N was about to smile back, when something crashed into him, dragging him away from sight.
Y/N's eyes went wide in terror. She was about to speak, when-
"HANAKO, 7TH WONDER!" Kou declared at a tackled Hanako, pointing a funny gold staff at his chest. Y/N expected him to look terrified. Instead, he looked calm.
Almost bored.
"I SHALL EXORCISE YOU!"
"In this position?" Hanako yawned. "I don't want to die being bottom."
Kou blinked.
"What do you mean?"
Hanako took advantage of his innocence, using his confusion as an opportunity to slip away.
Kou's eyes went wide. He turned around to face him, shakily weilding the staff.
"Kou, were you?" Hanako grinned, now brandishing his famed butterknife.
"Yeah, that's right!" Kou roared. "Kou Minamoto! The last name you'll hear!"
"Minamoto." Hanako smiled. "A family of exorcists! Pleasure to meet you!"
Kou ignored him, charging at the ghost boy with all his might. Hanako stood there, whipping out a cape that appeared out of nowhere. He threw his wisps at Kou.
'Wow.' Y/N thought. 'They look like beyblades.'
Kou wasn't able to dodge them; he fell to the ground in pain.
Hanako slowly approached him, then leaned against his side.
"You alright?" He smiled goodnaturedly.
"B-Back off!" Kou stammered. Y/N could see he was clearly scared by his shaky voice and dilated eyes; he just didn't want to show it.
"What a pity." Hanako sighed. "You want to be a great exorcist, don't you? I think you'll need to train a bit, first. I don't want to hurt you-"
Kou's eyes went wide at those words.
"You don't want to hurt me?!" He exclaimed in disbelief. "But the rumors say you murdered someone!"
Y/N's heart stopped.
Hanako murdered someone?
Hanako himself stiffened at those words.
This time, Kou took advantage of his discomfort, slashing at his arm with his staff.
Hanako's eyes went wide. He fell back, collapsing on the ground.
Y/N couldn't stand it.
"KOU!"
Kou nearly dropped his staff in shock.
"Y/N?!"
"STOP, PLEASE!" She gasped. Hanako slowly recovered from the hit of the staff, looking up at Y/N groggily.
"Y/N....?"
"What do you mean?!" Kou pointed at Hanako. "He's dangerous, Y/N!"
"He's my friend."
"He's a murderer!"
"He's my friend."
Hanako couldn't explain the great amount of things he was feeling right now. All he could do was slowly reach out to Y/N, voice weak.
"Y/N...."
"P-Please leave him be!" Y/N begged, ignoring Hanako's plea. "He won't harm anyone, I swear! That murder has to be a rumor..."
Kou shook his head.
"He's got you under a spell, hasn't he?"
"H-Huh?!"
Kou slipped past Y/N, striking Hanako yet again.
This time, ghost boy passed out.
Y/N felt like fainting. She rushed to his side almost immediately.
"Kou!" She berated. "How could you?!"
"It's alright, I'll snap you outta' your trance!" He proclaimed. "Just wait, one more strike with this-"
Bonk.
Kou fell to the ground.
Y/N's eyes went wide.
"Y/N-chan...?" Yashiro croaked, holding a heavy book. It looked like she used it to knock Kou out.
"YASHIRO!" Y/N cried in relief. "PLEASE HELP ME!"
"What's the matter?!" She sprinted towards Y/N. When her eyes fell on Hanako, she immediately got the drill.
"Oh no!"
"Stay." Y/N faintly said. "When Kou wakes, please explain everything to him. Hanako is my friend. He healed my arm."
"Alright!" Yashiro bobbed her head rapidly in an aggressive nod. Y/N weakly smiled.
"Thank you."

"Just a moment, Hanako..."
"This won't hurt."
"There! All fixed and done, see?"
Three different phrases. Same voice. Hanako opened his eyes a peek.
He was in a room.
The Mokke's room.
But it didn't look like the Mokke were there. It was only a girl.
Someone with H/C hair.
Y/N.
"Hanako?" She whispered. "Are you awake?"
He stayed quiet, eyes slowly travelling elsewhere.
His hat was gone, laid by his side.
Y/N had rolled up his sleeve, and it was covered in many layers of bandages. He nearly let out a laugh.
'Does she even know I'm not injured?'
"Hanako?!" Y/N tried again.
He closed his eyes shut, pretending to be asleep.
"Aww man!" Y/N sighed. "I thought he moved. Must've been my head..."
She slowly began to roll his other sleeve.
"He was electrocuted so badly. Don't worry, Doctor Y/N-"
This time, Hanako couldn't help but laugh.
Y/N stumbled back with a start. Hanako hastily wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Hanako?!"
"Sorry..." He croaked through his fit of giggles. "....please, don't continue."
Y/N looked at him in stupor, still holding a roll of bandages.
"But you're injured!"
"I'm not."
Y/N was incredulous.
"Were you awake the whole time?" She asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I was." He smirked. "Doctor Y/N."
Y/N's face turned a deep shade of red.
"Why didn't you tell me you're injured?!"
"I like it."
Y/N looked at him, bewildered.
"Like what?"
"Seeing someone care for me." He smiled, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's my job to help people by granting their wishes... but people forget me. They never help me back."
Y/N's eyes softened.
"Hanako."
She settled beside him, awkwardly patting his shoulder. He was still staring at the "injured" arm she had bandaged.
"Should I take it off?" Y/N offered timidly.
"No."
Y/N was caught off guard. Hanako cut in before she could reply.
"We look like a nice pair, don't we?" He held up his bandaged arm, giving her a close-eyed smile. Y/N looked at her own gauzed arm.
"B-But you're not even hurt!"
"Just a bit."
Y/N stiffened.
"Really? Where?"
Hanako slowly pulled up his unbandaged arm. Y/N looked closer, then saw it was a burn.
"Ah, a burn!" Y/N noted. "That's easy to treat!"
"Really?"
"Mhm!" She smiled brightly. Hanako was only partly reassured.
"Will it hurt....?"
"I-I don't know...."
"Well," he sighed. "Do your thing."
He looked away, not wishing to look at the painful process.
However, he got quite the opposite. Something soft and warm on his hand. When he saw what it was, he blushed furiously.
Y/N was kissing it, her hands clasped on his hand tightly.
"Wh-what're you doing?!"
"Healing it!" she retorted, pulling away. Hanako wanted to complain, but bit his tongue. "A romance novel I read said kisses can help burns, so..."
Hanako's tensed up body slowly relaxed. A smirk was on his face.
"You read romance novels?"
"AH!" Y/N clapped a hand to her mouth. She was blushing furiously. "N-NO, I-"
Hanako leaned in, lightly kissing her on the cheek.
Y/N had now evolved into red tomato.
"'Kisses can help burns.'" He repeated teasingly, a cheeky grin on his face. "Your face looked like it was heating up, so-"
A loud squeal.
Both teenagers turned to look behind them.
All the Mokke.
This time, not only Y/N was a tomato.
"OH MY GOD!" A Mokke squeaked.
"You totally ruined the moment!" Another snapped.
"Why can't you stay quiet?!"
"Oh hi there, Mrs. Yugi!"
"M-Mrs. Yugi....?" Y/N stammered.
"My real name," Hanako looked at the floor, feeling incredibly humiliated. "Yugi Amane. I should've said that without these brats..."
"HEY! THAT'S MEAN! :C" A Mokke sniffed.
BRRRRRIIIIIIINGGGGG!
"W-Welp! Th-that's the schoolbell!" Y/N hastily got up, still touching her cheek. "I-I've gotta go! N-Nice meeting you, Hanako! Nice seeing you all, M-Mokke-"
Hanako's eyes were wide.
"Wait, Y/N-"
Y/N had already fled the room, her face buried in her hands.
The Mokke stood alongside a dumbfounded Hanako, all shamelessly proud.
"Nice move, Amane!"
"'Just gotta up your game!"
"Guys!" Hanako grumbled in frustration.
The Mokke were immediately silenced. Hanako was still blushing, but he looked deadly serious.
"Why did you do that?"
"Why not?"
"You don't look like you're complaining-"
"Well I am!" He snapped.
The Mokke were taken aback. He never sounded so furious.
"Hey, buddy-" A Mokke squeaked, now worried. "What's the matter?"
"I want to make her happy," Hanako looked at the floor.
"Especially since she's in her final days."
