Right by the gates, in the midst of students heading home, Kouji found Izumi and, after giving her a moment to comprehend his sudden appearance in her school, presented to her a large triangular box wrapped in a blue ribbon.
"I guess it's not much of a surprise, but here." Kouji slipped his hands into his pockets, his attention on Izumi's reaction undivided from the glances and whispers coming from the other students. "Like it?"
Inside were strawberries dipped in milk and white chocolate. He wasn't certain of Izumi's fruit preference, but he thought it was the safer choice over a pure chocolate one - just to be a little different, and in case Izumi was concerned of sugar and calories.
"Mou..." A heavy sigh abandoned her lips as she walked out the white building, the school was already over. Walking to the exit while looking around, Izumi could spot excited guys giving presents to girls, unconsciously a smile appeared on her face to see such scenes.
Even if she didn't give chocolate to them, Izumi received chocolates from some classmates and even guys that wasn't in the same class than her, she was already used to be popular with guys.
She sighed again and shifted her gaze to the entrance door, her eyes brightened as they met the unexpected visitor. "Kouji!" Izumi shouted enthusiastic and ran towards him getting some curious looks towards them.
"No!" Orimoto shook her head. "This is perfect! Molto grazie!" A faint blush stained her cheeks, she was already holding the box in a hug. "Thanks for remembering this day! I'm so glad that you came to see me." She finished with a tender smile on her face.
