Author's Notes:
I really wanted the challege of writing fanfiction for Psycho Pass. Let's me clear, these are NOT love stories; each story is a small window into the relationships and connections between two selected characters. I've always wanted to explore the relationships between:
Kagari Shuusei and Kunizuka Yayoi
Tsunemori Akane and Ginoza Nobuchika
Kougami Shinya and Tsunemori Akane
Ginoza Nobuchika and Masaoka Tomomi
Karanomori Shion and Kunizuka Yayoi
Ginoza Nobuchika and Kougami Shinya
Kougami Shinya and Makishima Shougo
In all cases, they're very different people and their relationships with each other are built on strange foundations. This is a compilation of short stories about each set of relationships; just conversations, thoughts, actions, experiences and insights on how they get along with each other.
This chapter deals solely with Kunizuka Yayoi and Kagari Shuusei as colleague/friends. The story is meant as a glimpse into their way of life, thoughts and speech. Let me know how well I portrayed each character, enjoy and hopefully you'll subscribe to read more about the other characters in Psycho Pass!
Regarding Kunizuka Yayoi & Kagari Shuusei - Like Fire and Ice
Kagari Shuusei was bored. Sitting in front of his desk, he pushed the chair away from it in exactly the way that she hated hearing the chair-wheels screech on the floor. Kunizuka Yayoi bit her lip and continued filing her report. He was beside her now, tilting his head to the left; funny, usually that noise drove her crazy, the fact that she didn't give him a contemptuous look immediately meant that what she was doing must be of utmost importance. Kagari leaned his arm on his chair back and pointedly stared into Kunizuka's shoulder.
After a moment of uncomfortable silence, the stoic woman stopped typing. Glancing up from her report to the man beside her she asked in a quiet tone, "What do you want, Kagari?"
"Nothin'. Whatcha doin'?"
Kunizuka sighed, "I'm logging the specifics for the Ouryo Rikako case." She looked at her clock impatiently.
"Karanomori isn't out until at least 5 today." Kagari snickered, he'd known his colleage long enough to know certain habits she had.
Irritated, the woman loosened her tie; of course, she already knew Karanomori Shion's schedule, but it was always unbearable waiting for her on days that she had a database scan scheduled. Kunizuka hated not being able to eat lunch with her, but of course, Shion probably needed to eat by herself today. A large sign written in permanent marker was taped on the door of her lab with the words "Do not Disturb" scribbled on it.
"Do you wanna go get lunch?"
Her fellow Enforcer seemed to be bored, Kunizuka surmised. Which probably meant that he'd run out of work to do. She shook her head. "Go ahead, you're done your paperwork for the day aren't you?"
"Yup." Kagari pulled out a blue Nintendo DS lite from his second drawer. "Hey, have I shown you the new game I got?" Kunizuka looked at the device. She vaguely recognised the gaming console; it was used in earnest back in the early 2000s as a form of entertainment for children, how like Kagari to get something like this.
"Where did you get it?"
Kagari scratched his neck with his free hand, "I uh, actually stole it from the confiscated items lab."
"Again?" Kunizuka sighed and typed another line of her report. "I suppose no one will miss it then..."
"Right? Well I got this game, it's pretty interesting because it's pre-Sybil."
"Oh?" The woman's eyes slid towards the desk of her supervising inspector and saw that the young woman with neat short hair was not paying them any mind. Lowering her voice she asked, "Where did you get that?"
"Heh. Masaoka gave it to me, he said it was among the junk that grandfather played with and maybe I could put it to some use." Kagari excitedly popped the game into the console and flicked the start button. "It's called Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney. You play as a defence attorney in a court of law." Kagari slipped a stylus from beneath the console and began to tapped the screen. "Can you believe this stuff was used to entertain people in the past? Nowadays, a child's psycho pass could seriously get jacked up if they played psychologically challenging games like these."
"Shh, talk quieter." Kunizuka said through her teeth. "You want that confiscated again?"
"Sorry, sorry." Kagari resentfully switched off the game. "I've only played through a few chapters and it's all very well done."
"I imagine so." She stoled a glance at the gaming system. "Don't those things need chargers?"
"Yup. It runs off one of those mini USB things."
Kunizuka stopped typing her report. Whispering she asked, "Those went out of style in 2067." Her eyebrow twitched, she was impressed. "Where on earth did you get one?"
"You have no idea how long I had to scourge the mechanics lab to find the right parts to build the charger for this baby." The man snickered and ran a hand through his unruly brown hair, "I almost wish this ran on batteries, then I would get to play around with how to make some of those."
"You're a masochist you know that?" Kunizuka gave a wane smile, something she hadn't done in a long time and turned her attention back to her computer.
Kagari's eyes widened; he felt like he'd just seen an illusion. Kunizuka Yayoi never smiled, but when she did, it was quite a pretty sight. The man popped his blue shirt collar, he was feeling a bit proud of himself, "So do you wanna go get lunch?" Kunizuka didn't respond but flicked her long ponytail over her shoulder and stood up, brushing her black suit off. Kagari grinned and jumped up from his chair. Inspector Tsunemori Akane looked up from her computer.
"Just going for lunch, Inspector." The Inspector smiled and nodded. "Wanna come?" He figured he'd ask.
"No thanks, I'm still busy."
Kagari shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets he lumbered out of the office with Kunizuka following close behind.
