30 Forbidden Fruit

Pairing: Yoite/Miharu

[center]-[/center]

Yoite looked at the cake on the plate in front of him. He wished that he could taste the sweet fluffiness of it, but using Kira had eroded all of his senses with taste being one of the first to go. Nothing tasted as it should anymore. It all had such a bitter taste that he ate it quickly, trying to ignore the flavor.

But this cake was special. Miharu had made it for him to celebrate his birthday. He didn't have the heart to tell Miharu that he couldn't taste how delicious he knew it must be. He put a small amount on his fork and tasted it. Bitter. But he didn't want Miharu to feel bad about it.

"It tastes good." Yoite lied.

"Yoite, I know it doesn't to you. Using Kira has taken away your senses hasn't it?"

Yoite looked down, he didn't want Miharu to know and worry about him more. It was bad enough that his sight and hearing were starting to go as well. Everything around him looked fuzzy and unclear. "I didn't want you to know..."

"It's okay if you don't like it. I just wanted to do something special since you've never celebrated your birthday." Miharu took the plate from Yoite. "Would you like some of your lemonade instead?"

Yoite smiled, Miharu didn't react like he thought he would. He thought that Miharu would start to worry about him a lot more and want to be by his side all the time, not that he wasn't already by his side all the time anyways.

Miharu walked into the kitchen and started some water. He smiled while he thought about the other surprise he had for Yoite, he hoped that Yoite liked the other present more.

Walking back into the living room with the mug of lemonade, he handed it to Yoite. "Here's your lemonade. Later tonight I have another surprise for you."

"What is it?"

"I'm going to give you something that nobody else has ever had. I'm going to give you myself."

Yoite smiled, that was a surprise worth waiting for.
