Disclaimer: I own nothing but my love for Kenji Yamaguchi hihi
Kenji Yamaguchi stared. Shizuku Mizutani was stretched out on the sleek black couch situated in his condo's living room, a thick law book pressed against her face. He blinked. Shizuku was in his condo. Studying. Taking a deep breath, he ran his hands through his blond hair.
"When you said 'let's go to your place' I thought you wanted some quality time with me. Not your textbook," he said flatly.
Shizuku's eyes darted up, running over him. "Hmm, and what did you think I meant? I have an exam next month and your condo was closer than the library. It's efficient."
He stood, pouting for a few seconds before she finally relented.
"Fair. You can sit over here."
She adjusted her legs and made space for him on the couch.
Kenji sighed and sat down, propping her feet on his lap.
"How in the world did Haru have the patience to put up with your obsession with school work?"
"He didn't," she quirked an eyebrow and added as an afterthought, "That's probably why I'm with you. You let me study."
Kenji's mouth fell open. "THAT'S the only reason you chose me?"
"Well no, I can think of other reasons as well."
He eyed her suspiciously, "Yeah? like what?"
She closed her textbook and settled it on the coffee table.
Pressing her finger to her bottom lip, she pondered her answer.
"Your internet connection is quicker than mine, so I can research more thoroughly for my thesis papers here. We're pretty well matched intellectually, so it's nice when you help me review for my tests. And of course, your condo is closer than the library."
Kenji frowned, feeling disturbed, before catching the teasing glint in Shizuku's eyes.
"You're making fun of me!"
Shizuku laughed and sat up, resting her chin on his shoulder as her arms went around him.
This took Kenji aback, as Shizuku normally wasn't so affectionate.
He looked down to see her large cat-like eyes staring back at him from underneath her blunt bangs, her face beet-red in spite of herself.
He felt his face heat up as well.
"Kenji, I chose you because I love you."
With that, she angled her chin up and gave him a lingering kiss.
Now Kenji was red.
Shizuku patted his cheek and leaned back on the couch, returning her textbook to it's place 3 inches away from her face.
"But right now, I'm going to study."
