A/N: Hey y'all!! What's up??
Watari: (Taps his chin) Sun?
Tatsumi: Moon?
Tsuzuki: Stars?
Hisoka: She was going to say Eifel Tower.
Me: Hey! You guys weren't supposed to ruin my joke like that! (Whispers to readers) I got my cousin with the joke that I was at Kings Dominion when he asked 'What's up' and I told him the Eifel Tower and he believed that I was in Paris and when I told him I was in England, he believed that too! I thought it was hilarious!
Hisoka: (Sighs) Aren't you going to finish your story?
Me: Oh, yeah, thanks. Anyway, I was watching Yami no Matsuei the other day when I got to the episode of when Hisoka asks Tsuzuki if he wanted to know what their compatibility was. I thought it'd be cool if I did a one-shot, but I'm curious if my readers want it to be a series of one-shot love scenes.
Tsuzuki: I do!
Hisoka: No.
Tsuzuki: (Begs) C'mon, please 'Soka!
Hisoka: No.
Me: Too bad, that's not your choice.
Disclaimer: Okley dokely, can I come with something witty to say I don't own Yami no Matsuei? Maybe I can.
The Trouble with Love
"Hey."
Hisoka felt the air from Tsuzuki's mouth piece below his feet pause momentarily after he spoke, apparently listening to what he had to say. "What?" He questioned.
Hisoka hesitated for a moment, and then continued. "Wanna hear our fortune from this morning?"
Hisoka withheld a smirk at the thought of Tsuzuki's face when he replied, "Tell me! Tell me!"
Hisoka chuckled softly and struggled to keep his voice calm. "Our compatibility is…"
Tsuzuki nodded excitedly. "Hmm?! Hmm?!"
"…positively and absolutely…"
Tsuzuki was quiet as Hisoka had a momentary relapse of actually telling Tsuzuki the truth. But, he shook it off.
"ZERO."
Hisoka imagined seeing Tsuzuki's pained face as he fell backwards out of the bath window where he had been crouched in excitement. He winced when he heard Tsuzuki's hard body slam on the ground. He guessed Tsuzuki picked himself back up when he heard scratching on the walls.
"How mean…" Tsuzuki mumbled.
Hisoka didn't reply, pink tainting his cheeks at the thought of actually telling his partner the truth…
"Come in, sit." An elderly woman gestured to Tsuzuki and Hisoka as they came through the door nervously. They took seats on the leather couch, waiting for the woman to speak.
She observed them for a long time, almost carving her eyes into their faces. Eventually, she pointed her finger at Tsuzuki. She wiggled it, beckoning for him to come with her.
He obeyed and they left Hisoka alone in peace. His eyes followed the hands on the clock as he waited. The minutes slowly ticked by, each making Hisoka nervous as to what the woman would say.
He bit his lip at the thought of the unknown worries frightening him resurfacing in her mind. He tried to calm himself with the idea that the woman was just a fraud trying to get his money, but it seemed unlikely to the sensible part of his mind. Watari and Tatsumi had recommended this woman to both partners and they said her information was way more than reliable.
Finally, as the hand clicked away twenty minutes, Tsuzuki returned. He had a sort of goofy grin on his face as he whispered to Hisoka, "Man, she's good. Tell me what she tells you later." He winked as he sat down on the couch beside Hisoka, hands behind his head.
The woman jiggled her finger at Hisoka next, bringing him to his feet. He had very little idea of where his feet took him as the woman led him further into her quarters.
He gulped when she finally stopped in front of one of the paper screens. Her hand shook as she slid the door open.
Hisoka edged in gingerly as he took in the surroundings. From what he could tell, he stood in a circular room with drapes and pillows covering most of the walls and floor. There was a fire cackling happily in the middle and several poufs surrounding it.
His nose inhaled many scents of incense from one end of the room, where the old woman hobbled over to. Hisoka watched as the old woman chanted incoherently as she lit one of the incense sticks. She clapped her hands together before turning around to Hisoka.
Her hand swept over one of the many pillows. Taking the hint, Hisoka sank into one of the poufs around the fire pit. The woman sat across from him with little trouble. She glanced at him over the flickering flames. Hisoka's stomach began to churn with nervousness.
"He cares for you more than you know."
Hisoka started. He hadn't been expecting her to jump into the subject of Tsuzuki so soon. Not to mention that it was the first time he had heard her speak. He had been expecting a little shake in her voice; however, she spoke with very little quiver in her voice, sounding strong and confident.
"And I know that you care for him deeply, too." She continued, ignoring Hisoka's cry of surprise. "More than anyone that has every treated you, am I right?"
"Y-yes."
"You have barley known the emotion of 'love'."
"…Yes."
"And Tsuzuki all of a sudden fell into your life, and you changed, correct?"
"…Yes."
"You have fallen in love."
Hisoka fell backward off his pouf in surprise. "Wh-what?!"
"You answered all my questions as 'yes'."
"Y-yes, but that doesn't mean—"
"You are nervous that I might uncover things you don't want to talk about."
"That doesn't mean you can talk about who I love that easily!" Hisoka argued, his embarrassed flush tainting his handsome face.
The woman chuckled. "I believe it easier to talk about things that the client doesn't wish to hear."
"Not for me." Hisoka grumbled, looking away.
"Tsuzuki was fine with talking about you."
Hisoka whirled around so fast he cricked his neck. "R-really?!" He asked, rubbing his neckline.
"Yes."
"Well, what did he say?!" Hisoka asked excitedly. He could hear his heart thumping in his ears. He swallowed, trying to keep himself calm as much as possible. Maybe now, after all this time, he would hear how Tsuzuki actually felt about him!
"I'm not inclined to reveal what is his business to tell you." The woman replied, unconcerned with the open-mouthed stare her client gave her. She paused for a moment, when her client had regained enough sense to listen to her without strangling her to death.
"However," She admitted. "He did ask if you two were compatible. I told him that I would tell you if you asked instead."
Tell me what she tell you later. Tsuzuki's voice rang in Hisoka's head. His heart began to thump nervously again as he replied, "Well……are we?"
The woman smiled gently at him. "To be more than just partners, Kurosaki Hisoka."
Hisoka sighed. It wasn't fair to leave Tsuzuki in the dark like that, not after what the old woman had told him.
Feeling guilty that he had upset Tsuzuki so much, Hisoka relented. "But… I don't think things can get any worse." He admitted, trying to cheer Tsuzuki up.
When Tsuzuki didn't reply, Hisoka grew solemn. "We've already hit rock bottom…" Hisoka sighed. "All we can do now is climb up."
Tsuzuki was silent for a moment. Then, he spoke again. "Yes."
Hisoka sat in the bathtub later, after Tsuzuki had left. He just now realized how incredibly lonely he got after being with a guy like Tsuzuki.
Hisoka's heart leapt at the thought of seeing Tsuzuki again in a few moments. Maybe, just maybe, the old woman was right.
A/N: MAN! I haven't done a love scene in such a long time!! I'm losing my touch!!
Jimmy: I'll say.
All: (Jump, he wasn't here earlier)
Hisoka: When'd you get here?
Jimmy: I've been here since the beginning of the story.
Tsuzuki: Why?
Jimmy: (Flushes) I…wanted to say the disclaimer.
All: (Sweatdrops)
Me: Why didn't you come out earlier?
Jimmy: You said it before I had the chance to argue.
Watari: Want to help us wrap up the story then?
Jimmy: (Nods) Read, review, and rate!!
Hisoka: Don't forget to vote on whether or not we should turn this into a continuing thing.
Tsuzuki: (Smiles happily) Send in requests too, if you want more. (Wraps arm around Hisoka, who blushes)
Me: Yes indeed, I'M RUNNING OUT OF FRIGGIN' LOVE IDEAS!!
All: (Slowly back away)
Watari: Is she always demented?
Jimmy: Yes.
