Sakura Tree Walkway

X.E.R.O took another bite of the delightness of Hanako cake since he was hugged for trying it and he looked upward blanky before grinning. "I'm showing off my tattoo which is of course spreading." the young teen pointed to his mark under his eye. "Pretty cool neh?"

Hanako shrugged. "Pretty cool." she said.
She would be happy for her friend, but since it was a curse... She stood on her tippy toes and patted his head grinning.
"Would you like to do something?" she asked since she had nothing better to do.

X.E.R.O finished his cake and blinked once to the patting and while keeping the fork in his mouth he took off his bag and placed it under a tree and still sucking on the fork and he walked over to Hanako and poked her shoulder. The young teen spat out the fork as he ran off and hid behind a tree. "Tag. Your it, Hanako."

Hanako blinked and then smiling shaking her head. She followed X.E.R.O to the tree. She peeked behind the tree and then began to reach to tag X.E.R.O.

X.E.R.O of course moved away from her and hiding behind another tree. "Heh, nope!" his eyes closed as he smiled largely. "Try again!"

Hanako puffed out her cheeks and then ran over to the tree X.E.R.O was hiding behind. I'll get him this time, she thought. She reached out going to tap his shoulder, getting ready to shout 'your it'.

X.E.R.O's eyes were closed as he kept grinning and the moment she got to close he jumped into the tree branch and he laughed a little and stuck his tongue at her. "To slow!"

Hanako scowled and then jumped at him, just giving him a big hug. "Ha! Your it, X.E.R.O!" she declared and wore a sheepish smile.

X.E.R.O's face was a stunned one and he sweatdropped a bit as he said nervously. "Yeah. I'm it only cause you couldn't keep your mits off of me!" the young teen laughed as he hugged her back. "Then again your it!"

Hanako's face turned red. "Ah! T-that's-" she blinked as she was it again. "Uh nuh, your it." she said and then pulled away from the hug quickly before he got her back. She was still blushing a little from his comment.

X.E.R.O snapped his fingers and said. "Drat!" the young teen noticed her face and he laughed for he found that rather cute.

Hanako giggled and ran behind a tree. She would peek, to take a look, once in a while. This was rather fun.

X.E.R.O jumped down and he said slyly. "Why are you hiding? Don't you want to cling to me again?" the young teen walked to where she was while smiling a bit.

Hanako blushed again and giggled.
"Maybe!" she teased.
She placed a hand over her mouth, trying not to laugh and a blush was still visible on her cheeks. When X.E.R.O moved closer to the tree Hanako would walk around the tree a little.

X.E.R.O chuckled as he placed his hand out. "Come here puppet." he closed his eyes and smiled.

Hanako gave him a weird look. Did he really want a hug? She placed her hand in his hand, since he was her friend. She smiled a little.

X.E.R.O laughed hugging her back. "I told you! You couldn't keep your mits off of me!"

Hanako blushed and smiled. "I guess you were right." she said with a hint of teasing. "Maybe because your... so cuddly?"

X.E.R.O's eyes were very large. "Cuddly, like a marshmallow?" the young teen liked that idea very much as he thinks about it he blushed a bit.

"Sure. Why not." she laughed. She smiled as she saw him blush. "Like a marshmallow." She tilted her head and gave him a closed-eye smile.

X.E.R.O had stars shining behind of his head and he chuckled with his right hand under his lower lip giving him the happy go lucky glow.

"So whose it now?" she questioned and grinned. She lost track of who was it, but she didn't really care. She was enjoying spending time with X.E.R.O.

"Whose who?" X.E.R.O questioned a bit before laughing. "I guess I'm still it or uh..?" the young teen shrugged and that was about it.

Hanako giggled a little. She placed her hand behind her back and took a deep breath, enjoying the petals drifting in the wind. She shook her head as petals fell on her head.

X.E.R.O looked around him and he grinned faintly. "Nice." the young teen almost laughed after seeing the petal fall on her head.

Hanako smiled and then began to sway from side to side. "mhmm... what to do now..." she thought out loud. She placed an index-finger on her cheek, tilting he head to the side.
