Christmas special

Hoshimi wandered round the familiar streets of Cho-tokyo (I hope this is spelled correctly). How long has it been since she stepped here? It felt familiar, yet foreign at the same time.

The old sweet store she was so fond of going to buy sweets had closed down with a Takoyaki store in place. A lot has changed since then. She saw a poor bedraggled beggar begging for money, she immediately took pity on him, giving him most of her pocket money.

The beggar gratefully accepted it, even bowing his head in thanks. Hoshimi was more than happy to help him she felt better now. But... Her wish still hadn't come true yet.

What she really wished for was to see her childhood friend, Tasuku, again. She hoped to see him at least once more, at least one last glimpse of him. A cry broke him out of her daydream.

She whipped around to see a light blue haired boy taking out a pair of handcuffs and arresting the beggar. "Hey! Stop it!" She yelled angrily. She wasn't sure what that boy doing but she wasn't going to let him bully the poor beggar.

The boy turned around, her breath immediately caught in her throat. Even after those years, she recognised him. Those crimson eyes, light blue hair and his determined expression. It was Tasuku.

Tasuku froze as her name left his mouth. "Hoshimi!" She ran towards him, embracing Tasuku in her arms. "Tasuku!" Their fateful reunion was cut short when the beggar tried to escape.

"Hey, why are you arresting him?!" She demanded. "He's a con-artist, he has conned many people out of their money." he answered.

She felt like dying in embarrassment, how could she be so naive?! She snatched back her money from the man and kicked him in the rear. Tasuku tried to stiffle his laughter as the man cried out in pain.

"Anyway..." he tried to direct her attention somewhere else for the poor man. "Are you free tomorrow? And sorry that I didn't prepare a present for you, I didn't expect to meet you."

"It's fine, and yes, I'm free tomorrow, maybe we can catch up?" She reassured him. "Sure." he said trying to ignore the butterflies in his stomach.

"Meet you here at 12 sharp!" She called before skipping away. I can't believe it! It must be fate!
