AN: Oh, man. This one is kind of random. I haven't seen much of these two, and I love the pairing already. It just fits for me, and I love it. I read ONE story about them and suddenly my RudeReno muse was out the window and I felt the need to start something for them. xD
Chapter One: The Question
I sigh a little, watching as the whole group around me partakes in the cake that had been mine. I'm sure I'm pouting, but I've lost interest in myself; I just want my cake back. However, I notice something I don't think I've really thought about before. The way Watari eats and the way that Tatsumi watches him like he's some kind of predator…my mind triggers a set of instances that make it known to me that they're likely together. I find today to be a slow one as far as work goes, so when the chief and Hisoka clear out, I sidle up to them and prop my head on my hands, elbows on the table.
"Watari~, Tatsumi~" I start, smiling a little, "Can you two answer a question for me?"
"That depends, Tsuzuki." Tatsumi replies coldly, looking at me with those icy blue eyes.
"Sure, Tsuzuki-san. What is it you need?" That's Watari for you, always willing to help.
"Um…well, I know you two are together…" The two of them freeze, "And I want to know how you got to be that way. I mean…there's someone that I want, but nothing I do seems to work with trying to make him mine…so…"
"So you want a story?" The blond replies cheerily.
"Watari." His lover's voice is firm and kind of scary. "Should we really tell him?"
"Well, if it's to help him, why not, eh?"
"…then you tell him." Watari nods and takes a seat beside me, clasping his hands together on the table and smiling at me. He leans forward a little bit as Tatsumi takes a seat behind him; they look almost too close and I blush a little when I notice arms around the lanky blond's waist and a head on his shoulder. I vaguely wonder if I'll ever be able to do that with Hisoka.
"Alright, Tsuzuki-san. It started when we were alive…"
AN: Alright, going to go into a flashback, now. :3 The next chapter will definitely be up soon, but I'm still working on Competition, as well. :3 I hope you guys tune in for more of this story!
