On the Topic of Brocolli

A fanfiction dedicated to TW. May you always be eating random vegetables.


Natsuki rolled over in her bed. She had been in a deep sleep, dreaming of many puppies when she surfaced from the fantasy and began to wake up. She blinked a few times groggily, faintly hearing a light crunching noise coming from somewhere nearby. As she became more awake, the crunching noise was louder and more apparent.

She sat up. The room was dark, only the moonlight streaming in through the window cast light into the room. Something out of the corner of her eye moved and she turned to face it, noticing the crunching was coming from that direction. There was a figure there in the chair. The moon cast light across the figure's legs.

Munch. Munch. Munch.

"H-hello?" she called out, on alert.

The figure stopped making the noise and lowered her hand back to the bowl sitting in her lap. "Go back to sleep dear..."

Natsuki instinctively tried to materialize her guns, but that power wasn't there anymore. "Who-"

The figure leaned forward. It was Shizuru. "Ara... I was being serious. Go back to sleep Natsuki."

"W-what?"

"I can't eat my brocolli unless you're asleep, love."

Natsuki blinked. She wasn't sure what she should be concerned with. Why did Shizuru have to eat her brocolli while watching her sleep? Why did she need to eat brocolli at all?

She ignored these questions plaguing her mind and decided it would be best if she just went back to sleep. Things concerning Shizuru were best accepted in order to stay sane.


A/N: Yes, so, random crack for you all. Short, but it was originally just typed in a skype conversation with a few close friends. Notori was one of them, and it was her friend TW who inspired this little piece. Noto-chan is the one who encouraged me to upload it.
