"Moshi-moshi. Seguchi here."
"Tohma."
"Ryuichi-san?"
"Don't give me that 'Ryuichi-san' bullshit. If I recall, that's not what you used to call me while we--"
"Is there a point to this call, Ryuichi? You know I can't talk to you for long."
"As a matter of fact, Toh-chan, there is a point." I crooned his old nickname in the most sugary sweet voice I could come up with.
"And that would be...?"
"I'd like you to meet me in the park later on tonight. Eight o'clock. If you're not there, I'll find you, and we'll... converse... wherever you may be at the time. You can't avoid me, Tohma."
A short silence.
"Is that a threat?"
"Possibly." I put that silky caress back in my voice. "I have a surprise for you when you get there, Toh-chan. I can't wait for you to see it. Hopefully you can find it in your heart to take a bit of a risk to meet someone who obviously isn't worth it." Now I was mocking him. I knew it would drive him insane. "Bye-bye then, Toh-chan."
I heard him begin to say my name, but I had already hung up the phone.

So. I definitely plan on posting the next chapter really, really soon (as in, within the next 24 hours), because as you can see, this is really, really short. :D It's probably not even going to be more than the prologue and two chapters--if that. To be honest, I don't even know why I posted this short little tidbit. I just... did. :D
