Lollipops
Hanabusa Aido always had a lot of items placed all over his room, and one day, Touya Rima found something that made her smirk a little.
Lollipops, a cookie jar worth of those treats stashed in a big box, underneath a pile of junk, for her to bury her thirst for blood in, though admittedly, she was the least bloodthirsty of the Night Class. Rima did not just take one or two of the lollipops out of Hanabusa's room that day; she took the entire container. Not like he was going to realize it, anyway.
And there was only one person she would offer these sweets to. After grabbing a handful of those brightly-wrapped candies and replacing the now half-empty jar on her bedside table, Rima strode out of the room again, her feet treading upon a familiar path which led her to none other than Senri Shiki's cluttered cove.
"I know there's no point saying this,"
Shiki said dully the moment his door swung open, revealing Rima's slender frame, "but for the millionth time, knock before you come in."
But Rima wasn't listening. Instead, she closed the door, throwing the slightly messy, cosy room back into its usual dimly-lit state, and walked towards Shiki, who looked up from his book when she approached. His well-marked eyebrows raised ever so slightly when he saw what was clutched tightly in her little fist.
"Sweets?" He asked blankly, sitting up from his slouchy posture on the couch and shutting his book, "you have a craving for blood or something?"
"Don't be ridiculous,"
It was Rima's turn to speak, and she used the same, dull tone as Shiki did as she sat down next to the boy and threw some of the stolen goods into his lap, "just thought I would share some of these with you. Hanabusa's treat."
She unwrapped one as she spoke, and as soon as her sentence ended, she tossed the wrapper on the couch between them and popped the round candy into her mouth, the white, thin stick jutting out from between her thin lips. Shiki's eyes lit up slightly in interest and amusement as he watched her; anything that was Hanabusa's treat would mean that Rima took it from the guy's room without telling him. This much Shiki knew.
"Don't like lollipops?"
Rima asked after a while, when Shiki only continued to watch her suck her lollipop without saying anything, or showing any sign of indulging himself in the candy. He smiled a little.
"No, I do like it." He said, picking one from his lap while reaching for the wrapper which Rima had discarded with his other hand, and began to observe the items on hand with interest.
"Really."
Shiki didn't know what this tone of voice meant, but he shrugged it off, and, setting down the candy and wrapper in his hands, he reached out once more, to Rima this time, and tugged gently at the white sticking out of her mouth.
"I want this one."
Surprised, Rima's lips parted, and the lollipop slipped out of her mouth. Before she could gather enough wit to protest, however, Shiki popped the moist candy into his own mouth, and returned to his book, looking unconcerned as he leant back comfortably on the soft couch, the white stick wiggling merrily between his lips as he used his tongue to flick the candy within.
As Rima watched him, at a loss for words, she could feel a blush creeping up on her rosy cheeks.
Someday, if she ever succumbed to her urges, she was going to murder this guy.
Firstly, I'm terribly sorry about not updating my SasuSaku fic. I have been stuck for a long time and have not gotten back to it; do pardon me. I'll try to get it going again soon.
So for now, it's a Vampire Knight one shot on my favorite pairing, ShikixRima, for the ShikixRima fans. I'm still new to this fandom so pardon me if the characters are not appropriately portrayed. I frankly have no clue what to make of characters like these two but they really fascinate me. I might write another one of these soon, since I did enjoy myself this time⦠This is all for now then!
