AN: Another contest entry on TMB. :3 This time, it's the Shuffle contest. This story won't be in chronological order, but it will definitely be fun. At some point, I may or may not include a map to which chapter to read first to get them in order. Or I won't, it all depends on what my lovely beta says. :3 Anyways, here we go!
Chapter One: Rufus-Sexual
"I saw Elena leaning over you today, with this expression akin to a lion leering over its prey." Rufus informs me coldly, regarding me with a glare so cold I feel myself frozen in place. I gasp a little and close my eyes, shaking my head quickly.
"She has always liked me, Sir, but I do not enjoy her in quite that way." He nods at me and the glare lowers a few levels.
"Then tell her to back off."
"She will question why, sir."
"Because you are mine; mind, body, soul, all of it is mine. And if she thinks she can take that away from me, she is sadly mistaken."
"She couldn't even if I wanted her to."
"And why is that?"
"Because..." I feel my cheeks heat up a bit as I speak, "I'm RufusShinrasexual." He looks at me like I've just shot his dog, then he chuckles a bit...but not cruelly.
"Ah, I see. Well, then. Does that make me Tsengsexual?"
"It sounds an awful lot like Transexual..." I offer, but we're both giving soft laughs.
The thought of that day saddens me. I remember specifically what happened after we had such a nice conversation...and I'll never forgive myself for it.
AN: Alright, that's it for the first part. :3 I just hope it's good. :3
