JapanxReader |A Quiet White Day| (Speedwrite)

    ‘White day… March fourteenth,’ (Name) thought nervously as she walked into the halls of the school. It was a month after the celebrated Valentine’s day, but in Japan, White day was equally as important.
    
    In Japan, women and girls usually gave chocolates to their crushes on Valentine’s day, and a month later the men and boys would respond to the notion. If they accepted the love, then they would give chocolates in return.
    
    A month ago, (Name) gave her crush, Kiku Honda, a box of chocolates that she made. He seemed mildly shocked by the action, and seeing as the two never really hung out, she did not ever figure out his true emotions. Not until today at least. She wondered if he would give her something in return… she really hoped he would. He was so cute with his soft brown eyes and short dark brown hair. His small smile and overall politeness, he was just perfect, and (Name) couldn’t help but fall for him.
    
    A lump formed in her throat as she made a beeline to the locker. What would she do if it did not accept? More importantly what would she do if he did?! She was so shy, she wondered if she would be able to say a word to him without stuttering.
    
    ‘Calm down, (Name),’ she sighed to herself. ‘It’ll all be oka-’
    
    Her thought was caught short because of a certain boy standing next to her locker.
    
    ‘Oh my god….’ her breath hitched.
    
    Kiku Honda leaned against her locker and when he glanced up to see (Name) he instantly stood up straight. His eyes were filled with an equal nervousness that only the best of emotion readers would be able to pick up on.
    
    The girl walked over to her locker, “Good morning…” she bowed her head to Kiku, who bowed back, then held his hand out quickly with a blush. In his hand was a small box of chocolates and an elegant pink envelope. (Name) took the objects into her hand and glanced up at Kiku for a moment. “T-Thank you…” she said and tucked the chocolate box under her arm to open the letter. “Should I open this now?”
    
    Kiku nodded quickly as if he was unable to speak, but he choked out some words, “Hai, go ahead…” he said. His voice was so smooth with that accent, ugh.
    
    (Name) opened the letter and read it.
    
    Dear (Name)-chan, I was surprised at first to receive your gift last month on valentine’s day. I never seem to get valentine’s chocolate, so I was not sure how to respond at first. Finally I gathered the courage to decide to respond. I accept your confession of love, though I apologize that I must do it in writing. I am not sure what to say, but perhaps we can get to know each other more on a date after school at the ice cream shop down the road? Love, Kiku.
    
    (Name) blinked at the letter then looked at Kiku who was looking at the ground shyly. He moved his eyes up to look at (Name) for a moment and managed a nervous smile. She chuckled and turned the note over, then pulled a pen out of the bag that was around her shoulder. She put the note on her hand and scribbled on it before handing the note back to Kiku.
    
    Of course I will! it read with a small smiley face.
    
    Kiku chuckled and smiled up at (Name). She smiled back and leaned down to give him a quick peck on the cheek, which turned fire truck red faster than anyone could count.
    
    There was no need to worry about what to say, because written words speak just as loud as spoken ones.
