Egg 2
T: Because I bought one of those multi layer delight eggs recently and was inspired. Vague sequel for egg though it's not necessary to have read that one first! As pointless as the original fic and just as slashy so beware! It's also a little more introspective, something I blame on Hisoka's inferiority complex! I own nothing you see here other than the pointlessness of it all!!

Yesterday he had managed to kiss his partner, true the touch had been granted more because it'd been sudden rather than because the younger Shinigami had desired it, but the fact that he was still very much alive had to be a sign that the other liked him also, right?
Sagging just slightly Tsuzuki mentally prepared himself for the onslaught of insults and the request for separation that he believed awaited him beyond his office door. When, upon stepping into that space, he finds his partner absent and a giant egg awaiting him on his desk, this apprehensive mood is burned away by the hope that ignites within his heart.
He unwraps the foil covering the egg swiftly, hesitating only the barest of moments in order to take in the scent of the chocolate before he strikes at the thing. He had expected to find, within the shrapnel, his partner's slight form and thus, when he is greeted with the sight of another egg, he can no quite squash his disappointment.
Not one to give up easily he shatters this next egg, as well as the next, without hesitation. It is a determination that pays off for, within the third egg, sits a handwritten note.
'Baka,
Clear up the mess, resist the temptation to eat every scrap of the chocolate now and do the paperwork. I'll be with you in an hour to make sure you've complied with these instructions.
Hisoka.'
He finds some odd form of drive in the note and, by the time Hisoka arrives, he has tided away the chocolate shards (all the while resisting the temptation to simply eat the evidence) and completed at least half of his paperwork.
The younger Shinigami looks a little flustered as he steps into the office and, not quite managing to meet his eyes, the other enquires,
"Did you like your gift?"
"Very much."
There is a moment of tense silence and then Hisoka says,
"About yesterday…"
"What about it?"
"Why did you k…" The other flushes bright red and, absently fiddling with the hem of his shirt he attempts the question again, "Why did you do that?"
"Can't you tell?" He knows that it is unfair to tease the other when he is clearly uncomfortable and yet still the enquiry slips from his lips.
Hisoka visibly tenses and, the blush draining from his cheeks, he enquires,
"Do you care for me?"
"Yes."
"As more than a friend?"
"Yes."
"Why?" The question is a little unexpected and, bending down to the other's level he responds,
"Because you are who you are, because have literally walked through fire to help me and because you complete me."
"But I am harsh and bitter and broken."
He smiles then and pulling the other hard to him, he says, "That is true and yet you can also be gentle and sweet and so dreadfully composed," before he leans in for another kiss.
This time Hisoka responds to the touch, his hands bunching into his hair and pulling in order that the other might fuse them as one being. Though the younger Shinigami has still not voiced his own feelings the intensity of this response says everything he needs to know.
Tells him that Hisoka also wishes to spend forever at his side.

T: Basically I felt Tsuzuki deserved some form of response and Hisoka was never one to go down the obvious rout! Review?
