AN: * v * You guys! I love you so much! *sniff sniff*

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

Those two syllables echoed around Roppi's ears. They stayed there for what seemed like forever. He could hear the sweet and delicate smile of his beloved human. His voice was so familiar and warm. It was the breath of fresh air that Roppi needed to have. He was that ray of sunshine and warm milk. The smell of cookies fluttered in the raven's nostrils. Oh god that voice… the voice of an angel.. so smooth and happy.

Happy. Roppi frowned slightly. His angel was probably happy and… Roppi looked at a pot that was dangling from the ceiling of his small kitchen. It was smudged with a burn and distorted his flawless face to resemble that of a monster. A monster with puffed out cheeks and a disgruntled brow with a small forehead. Roppi moved his head to try and get a clear look at himself phone still in hand. All he saw was a monster with a ghastly looking appearance as a sickly pale complexion ghosted over the iron like features.

"Hello?" The angelic question pulled him from his trance as he looked away from the ugly pot. When he went to speak he had to swallow a huge lump in his throat that was followed by another. The phone slipped a little in his grip as his hands grew clammy with sweat and a frustrated blush settled on his cheeks as well as a pout. With a huff Roppi finally spoke.

"H-Hello… Is this Tsuki?" Roppi rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. He sounded like such a girl! He mocked himself inside his head 'Hello~ is this Tsuki~ I'm stupid and annoying and I sound like a damn girl because I think about you all of the time and can't get over you~ Mlelelelele~" He stuck his tongue out for the last part but didn't make the noise as he rolled his eyes again and scowled at his own foolishness.

"Yes this is Tsuki! Hello Roppi! I'm so very glad you called! I was beginning to think that you wouldn't call!" Tsuki beamed as he went on and on not stopping after the quick greeting. Roppi's eyes widened after aforementioned greeting. Tsuki was glad he called. His Tsuki was glad he called! Bubbles of happiness went up from his stomach as it dropped and slowly rose to the raven's icy cold heart that was somehow now lukewarm. The bubbles of happiness didn't stop there. Rising from the lukewarm heart the went straight up his heart string and up his neck which heated, and straight up to the corners of his lips as they pulled of slowly in a soft smile behind his jacket sleeve. His Tsuki was glad he called!

"-would that be good for you Roppi-chan?" Tsuki asked with a goofy smile in his tone. Roppi's heart flipped at the nick name then the raven bit his lip as the small smile left his lips.

"I-I'm sorry Tsuki-chan could you repeat that please?" Roppi inwardly groaned as he looked up at his ceiling begging whatever cloud, or fairy, or god thing that was up there to show him mercy.

"Oh of course! I was just saying that maybe we could hang out tomorrow after I get off work! I get off around two. Would you be able to come?" Tsuki was genuinely pleased and excited that there was a prospect of Roppi maybe hanging out with him and talking.

Roppi's stomach lifted as well as the bubbles again as his lips twitched up into another soft smile as he looked down blushing pulling at his black phone cord. His shoulder hit the wall as did his head while he blushed darker biting his lip trying to keep his smile in check.

"U.. Um that would be fine… That sounds nice.." Roppi smiled as he looked down once again biting his lip to keep back the bubbles of excitement that would surely be a high pitched squeak of happiness. Tsuki smiled brightly on the other line.

"Oh that's great! I'll pick you up around two then and maybe we could go get some lunch a- and maybe if you wanted.. w- we could go to the library and look at some books b- because I saw that you liked to read because of the books y- you always ordered…" Tsuki stammered as he blushed looking down tugging at his scarf slightly ashamed that whenever he talked to or about Roppi his words would get jumbled together and his cheeks would nearly catch fire.

Roppi, however, looked up to his ceiling and mouthed a handful of thank yous before he smiled again covering it with his sleeve as he looked down at his black sock covered feet.

"Y-yea that sounds great…" Roppi pouted again. In his head he sounded so smooth and cool in this conversation, but in reality he sounded like some bumbling mess! Damn it! His pout turned into a scowl as he tugged on his telephone cord.

"O-okay Roppi-chan!" Tsuki beamed as he spoke a little too fast. He blushed and Roppi jumped at his sudden loudness smiling slight nonetheless. "S-so I'll pick you up around two then?"

Wait… Tsuki was coming to pick him up… at his house.. He would have to plan and get ready! And maybe even tidy up the place!

"Yes Tsuki-kun that would be fine.." Roppi smiled blushing like an idiot shifting his weight from one foot to the other. Tsuki smiled his signature goofy smile as he breathed out a sigh of relief clearly audible through the phone. Roppi blushed more.

"Okay! I'll see you then! Bye Roppi-chan~!" Tsuki beamed as he waited to hang up after Roppi said goodby as well. Roppi smiled slightly in spite of himself and responded.

"Good bye Tsuki-chan…" Blushing the raven stuck his phone back where it belonged and chewed on his sleeve in thought.

His mind quickly went over trying to plan what the next day would be like. As soon as his smile came it left and was replaced with a frown. Roppi looked up from the tile floor and back to the pot. Once again his beautiful features were distorted. He tried moving his head once again to see if it was true.. that he really was a monster.. and this pot could tell. THIS pot knew. Roppi scowled and swatted the pot away making it fall to the ground as he walked away to go give himself a once over in the mirror.

Now Hacheminroppi was a very attractive young man. He had beautifully pale skin, long lashes, think inky black hair that flowed with him as he walked, pink tinted lips and stunning ruby eyes, and flawless skin. Roppi, however, did not see it that way.

He tugged his eye down, pulled his cheek out, picked his hair up, poked his cheek, pinched his lip, and blinked once before finally closing the door to his bathroom and decided upon taking a shower.

The water was warm… And all of the droplets slid down his pale, flawless skin and were in no hurry. His hair was now wet as he stood in his shower trying to comprehend what it was about himself that Tsuki seemed not to mind. Surely he didn't like it… he simply tolerated it. Whatever it was he was glad he had it. His angel was something he hadn't seen in his whole life. His angel was his whole life.

Nightfall came, and our dear Roppi could not sleep. He lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling with his wet hair sticking to his forehead and cheeks framing his face perfectly as the little moonlight that could lit up his pale skin.

His chest rose and fell in time with his breathing and he tapped his fingers on his smooth, flat stomach as he moved his foot slightly. His eyes shut in a silent struggle for sleep. A few minutes later Roppi was just on the verge of sleep when-

BEEEEEP.

His jacket and shirt were done.

"UUUUUGH!" Roppi groaned as he rolled over onto his stomach burying his face in his damp pillow.
