DISCLAIMER: I do not own No. 6 or any of the characters mentioned.
"Nezumi," Shion thought aloud to himself as he placed various old books upon the shelf in alphabetical order, "What a strange character he is…always pretending he doesn't care about anyone but himself—and yet he's shown so much kindness towards me…"
As he finished his sentence Shion could hear the door of Nezumi's little home opening, turning to face the visitor that had entered inside only to find the one and only 'rat' he had been speaking about. "Welcome home," he greeted cheerfully, a bright smile appearing across his face in the low lighting.
Nezumi said nothing as he walked across the room, taking off is coat and kicking off his boots before flopping over onto his bed, only to then pull his lips apart to form words. "I heard my name, what were you talking about?"
The white haired dog washer blinked, tilting his head to the side, at first not realizing what Nezumi had been asking, "Oh…I was just thinking that you are more caring for people than you let on."
"How so," questioned the taller man, a deep frown forming across his facial features.
Shion blinked, "Well, you've saved my life a number of times…and even now you let me live with you. I'd say that's a form of caring for someone."
To this remark does Nezumi rise from his spot on his bed, taking two large steps over to Shion; pinning the smaller man's back up against the book case, pulling his face in so close to the other's that his lips brushed lightly against Shion's ear as he spoke, "I'm saved your life and now I'm going to use you, I've told you this before haven't I?"
"You have, but—"
To this was Shion is interrupted, eyes widening in a sudden state of shock due to the unfamiliar sensation of Nezumi's lips upon his own—taking a moment to settle before kissing his childhood friend back a couple of times only to then have the rat pull his own head back hesitantly, resting their foreheads together after he's done so. "I don't care about you in the slightest, get it, Shion?"
"Nezumi I—"
He was cut off again, the taller man's lips pressing against his own once more as his small body was pulled into a light hug around the waist; their kiss deepening and Shion thoughtlessly dropping the few books he had left in his arms to the ground, only then to wrap his arms around Nezumi's neck; pulling his lover all the more closer.
They stayed that way for quite some time, small moans escaping Shion's lips every so often only to be met with light, teasing chuckles from his companion. It was true that Nezumi loved Shion, it was true that he cared for someone other than himself; but he would never admit that to anyone—
"Shion," Nezum gasped, pulling away from the kisses for a slight second, a loving smile forming across his features, "I love you."
Well, anyone besides Shion himself.
Well, here you all go. Someone on Tumblr had requested that I write some Shizumi Fluff so I tried it out. Leave a review and let me know what you think! :D
