Title: Distance between you and me
Author: Nekocin
Type: One-shot
Genres: general
Warnings: none, hetero... if that's even considered a warning. XDD
Pairing: mild Toukairin/Natsumi
Rated: G
Additional notes: although Okuboyakawa (?) looked convincing in the drama with Natsumi, I still adore Toukairin with Natsumi. Theme is from 30_gens "time spent apart"
Disclaimer: don't own "You're under arrest".
In March, Shouji is sent to scout out in Mount Fuji. Unfortunate adventurers got caught up in an unaccounted avalanche. Thick fog covers their sight. He gears up, shoulders his equipment bag and nods to his partner that he is ready.
In April, the city streets get a lot crowded than usual, lengthening Natsumi's dayshift. All sorts of spring festivals are held in schools and temples, and the sakura trees are ready to scatter their blossoms. She fixes her uniform, then her golden pin on her breastpocket and runs off to the garage where Miyuki is waiting in their patrol car.
Around April, he participates in a search and rescue team in resort Okinawa. Several children were floating in the sea after having fallen off from their excursion ship a few hours ago. He is appointed as leader of the crew due to his rank and spreads out a large area map on the table to begin his planning.
May is when the force is asked to do community service. Those who have dayshift split up individually, receiving a list of names and area codes. Natsumi waves bye to her partner, checks her long list of names, looks around the neighbourhood and grins as soon as she finds her first target.
To him, the month May this year is very forgiving. No noted casualties. No emergency calls. Not yet at least. He could finally get some sleep and go fish in the nearby lake, Tonight, he will barbeque his catch.
June 3rd - she draws a thick red X across the date on her calendar. Scanning the rest of the months, she recounts--still 211 days to go before the year ends. Still 100+ days to go before Shouji arrives.
In the middle of October, Toukairin gives Natsumi a surprise visit with a monkey on his shoulder and takes her out to eat. They drink the night away, exchanging interesting happenings and then challenge each other for another arm wrestling competition. By the time they realize it, dawn is already breaking open, painting bright colors across the dusk sky.
"I'm glad you're back." Natsumi says, grabbing his collar and pulls him forward to meet her lips.
Thank you for reading~! :D
