Alright! Figured I'd do a little one shot to give me a break from the sequel to The Ifs In Life [yep, still working on it, haven't forgotten about it ;D] & another story I've been working on for quite some time now. So here goes =]
.

...
I remember exactly what I was doing, wearing, thinking about & about to do when I saw him. God, it he was the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen & that's including myself. He was almost the opposite of me: silver hair, white & blue plaid shirt with white cargo shorts, melted honey golden eyes & an impassive expression on his face. I nearly spilled my coffee & broke my neck watching him walk down the street.
Everything in me told me to chase after him & demand he go out with me. My body responded to my thoughts, twitching with the impulse to jump up.
'What would I say to him?'
That thought planted me. It would be quite strange to approach someone just to say, "Oh, hey I saw you across the street so I chased you down to tell you that you're gorgeous. Alright, have a nice day, I'll be getting back to my coffee now". He'd probably give me a "Wtf" look & walk away.
'Come on, Naraku, think! I'll probably never see him again in my life & it's mandatory I make him mine! Someone as sexy as myself deserves to have someone gorgeous like that on his arm'
Slapping down a couple of bills, I took off down the street towards the impassive angel. I found him standing by the curb, waiting to cross the street, & thanked every god I could think of. I walked up beside him &...stood there.
'What the fuck are you doing? Say something!'
One look at this guy up close & (though it's cliche) the world stopped. He was sexy as hell! Immediately my little buddy responded but I had to keep him in my pants for now; most people these days got offended if you wanted to have sex right away. I remembered one of my one night stands long ago told me she wasn't a 2 cent whore.
'She sure wasn't. I paid two hundred bucks for that bitch & she didn't even suck my dick the way I wanted her to...'
Focusing on what was happening now, I opened my mouth to say hello...& the guy walked away! I growled & glared at the Walk light, cursing its timing then followed the guy.
'What should I say, what should I say, what should I say!'
He turned the corner & I followed fairly far behind. I had to think about what I wanted to say so I couldn't be walking all up on his heels. Hey! Before you judge me I'm not stalking him! I'm just...following him...where ever he goes...but only until I find out what to say to him!
'Maybe I could just say 'Hey, I see you like the color white. I do too. Makes me think of an angel. You're pretty gorgeous by the wa-'. No, no, no, that's too random. I don't want him to think I'm some rambling idiot'
I noticed he walked into a jewelry store & grinned. So he likes shiny things, eh? I walked in leisurely & watched him finger the necklaces & rings gingerly, pretending to look at them myself. Hey this necklace was really gorgeous...
Something struck me just then: buy him one of the peices of jewelry I catch him eyeballing! It was fool proof!
As he wandered over to the earrings & body jewelry section (I'd just noticed his ears were peirced & he had a lip ring), I scanned through the necklaces & rings.
'Should I get him earrings too? What kind? Did he prefer a stud in his lip or a ring?'
I figured I should just stick to necklaces & rings. I eyed a gold link necklace. Simple, eh? But still classic. I glanced over at him, trying to figure out his style. I couldn't tell if he liked classic things or something a bit more bold. Better go with something bold. With that long silver hair & sensuous eyes he probably liked something loud to compliment himself.
I looked at the rings & saw a large ruby ring set in a circle of diamonds. It was on the expensive side but hey, I could afford to splurge for a gorgeous man. I got the salesman's attention & tapped the glass over the ring.
"Yes, I want to purchase this" I said smoothly.
The man nodded & took out a set of keys, unlocking the case & taking the ring out. "Would you like it gift wrapped, sir?"
I nodded. "Yes, with the peppermint wrapping paper, please"
The man nodded again & set to work. I looked over at the object of my affection to find him staring longingly at the ring the salesman was currently wrapping & felt my heart pounding. Oh man was he going to be happy that ring was for him. Wait...should I give it to him now? Have it sent to him?
'Oh, God, how the hell will I give this to him? I can't give it to him now, he'll think I'm some sort of creep or something!'
No, I had to give it to him now. I may never see him again. Just as I was thinking that the salesman got my attention & I paid him, gathered my balls & took a deep breath.
'Alright Naraku...you got this...just be smooth, make sure your breath is fresh...is that a booger I feel on the edge of my nose? Oh God i cant have him thinking I'm a booger face! But if I reach up & get it that's gross! Ok, ok, just swipe your hand over it...'
I smoothly ran my hand over my face & lingered a little at my nose, running my index finger over the rim of my nostril & thankfully found nothing. I relaxed & walked over to the man, coming to stand beside him at he gazed at a pair of diamond earrings. He looked up at me with those magnificient eyes & immediately I felt at peace.
"Good afternoon" I said oh so smoothly.
A faint blush dusted his cheeks. I wonder why...? "Hello"
"I hope I do not come across as some sort of creep but I couldn't help but notice you were looking at some of this fine jewelry-"
"So you were following me"
"Pardon?"
He smirked, looking me up & down. "I figured you followed me here. You don't look like the kind of person to come in here"
I cleared my throat nervously. God, I hope he wasn't alarmed or anything, not that he looked like it. He shifted his weight & held out his hand which I shook.
"Sesshomaru" he said
I grinned & leaned forward to kiss his hand. Yeah it was old fashion but most people like that, right?
"I'm Naraku. Such a pleasure meeting you"
The blush that never quite went away got deeper & Sesshomaru smirked bashfully. "Same. Is...is that for your...lover?"
I forgot I was holding the wrapped box behind my back & cleared my throat. "Well...if you mean am I in a realationship, then no. But it is a gift for someone"
His eyes fell. "Oh..."
My heart warmed as I held the box out to him & his eyes lit up like a child's in the Disney Store. "I-is that f-for me?"
I nodded. "Yes, I saw you eyeing it not long ago. I figured it would be a polite though flashy way of telling you how gorgeous you are"
"Oh...God" he whispered breathlessly, "This costed a fortune. I'm sorry, I can't accept that"
I nearly scoffed out loud. He'd better accept it! Because of this ring I can't afford a dinner at Burger King for a while! "No, I insist. It's yours"
Sesshomaru's eyes were wide & in awe as he slowly put the ring on & admired it on his ring finger, his ring finger. I smiled, thinking what an egagement ring would look on that digit.
'Whoa...baby steps, Naraku, I haven't even asked him out yet'
He smiled softly, looking up at me with those doe eyes. Oh man, I could get lost in those golden orb-
"Thank you so much, Naraku. I don't know how I can repay you...I-I-"
"You can repay me by allowing me to take you out to eat at your earliest convienance" I interrupted smoothly. I was on a roll today!
He chuckled. "Nice way to woo me. I have to admit, it's pretty original & sweet. So I'll take you up on that"
My heart nearly soared as (mentally, of course) I did a victory dance. "Wonderful"
I whipped out a pen & took his right arm gently & wrote my number on the inside of his forearm. Kissing it, I smiled. "Have a good day"
& with that I smoothly turned on my heel & walked away...only to run into the front door...awesome...

Made it up as I went. I wanted to do something non-sexual that was sweet. Think I did ok =D Review? ^^
