Here were go guys, I tried to write this one quickly, and I think I succeeded seeing as it's only been a week, so I hope you like it, reviews please! I think I'm getting better at this drabble stuff, and I cut this one down to just under 800 words this time, which is good for a drabble considering it's me. So yeah XD

Disclaimer: I don't own TMM, if I did, Ryou and Ichigo would definitely have been together by now! XD Anyway, enjoy! :)

Drabble 4 - Second Command

Ichigo Momomiya sat at one of the pink tables at Cafe Mew Mew, where she worked, holding a neatly produced invitation to a dance at her school.

Ahh if only Masaya kun hadn't moved away... I don't have anyone to take me...

Ryou Shirogane, her usually calm boss had just come downstairs, and saw his clumsy waitress sitting staring at some piece of paper in her hand. So he reacted like the jerk she thought he was.

"Baka Strawberry! Stop sitting there leaving the others to do all the work, actually do something today or I will be docking your pay!"

The daydreaming redhead did not pay any attention to what her blonde jerk of a boss was saying.

Hmm...Who could I ask? I really want to go, but I can't go alone. All of my friends have dates...

Ichigo looked up to find herself gazing into the eyes of her platinum haired boss, who was just inches from her, waving a hand in front of her face, in a desperate attempt to get her attention.

"Wow, so you finally decided to stop living in Ichigo world and came floating on down to earth like the rest of us?"

"Shut up Shirogane."

"Why so cranky today Strawberry? You seem upset."

"It's nothing Shirogane, nothing you would care about anyway."

"Try me, I'll listen to your ranting if it means you'll get back to work quicker."

"Well...there's this dance...at school, and I really want to go but I don't have date." She stuttered, convinced he would just laugh at her and make her go back to work.

"Oh that dance? Mint was telling me about it earlier. If you want to go so much, I'll take you."

Wow - I didn't expect that.

"You would really do that for me?"

"Yeah, why not Strawberry, we've danced together before remember, it shouldn't be too bad. But then again, it is a high school dance, so there will be annoying high school girls everywhere."

"All the more reason for you to come! All the other girls will be so jealous when they see me with someone as handsome, good looking and mature as you..." Ichigo suddenly stopped herself, realising what she had just said. She had just called Ryou Shirogane handsome. To his face. Oh, nothing good could possibly come of this. He'd never let her live this one down!

"Handsome and good looking Strawberry? Is that really what you think of me? I'm quite flattered you know." Ryou teased, adding a subtle wink and his signature smirk.

"I didn't mean it like that, you're just as mean as ever Shirogane! Maybe it would be best for you not to take me to the dance!"

"Stop overreacting Strawberry, it's called a joke. Ever heard of one of them before? And besides, I know you didn't mean it like that, everyone knows how good looking I am, so it's no surprise that you finally realised."

Although I wish you did mean it like that...

"Shut up, are you gonna take me to this dance or not Ryou kun? Uh- I mean Shirogane.." Ichigo stumbled through words.

"Okay I'll take you Strawberry if...you agree to do anything I say from now on."

"Why have you got to be so mean Shirogane? But fine, I will, because this is my last high school dance and I really want to be able to enjoy it, although with you around, I probably won't.

"If you want to go, then you better stop talking, that's my first command."

Ichigo sighed.

"Now kiss me." Ryou said simply.

"Nyaaa! What on earth Shirogane?" the girl before him dressed head to toe in pink furiously blushed a deep scarlet, to match her vibrant hair.

"I said do what I say. Kiss me Ichigo."

Ichigo's eyes widened in shock. Could Shirogane really have feelings for her? At that exact moment Ichigo's ears and tail popped into sight.

"Ahhh, just the reaction I was looking for Baka!" Ryou smirked, walking back upstairs to his room.

Arghhhh that stupid Baka! Always looking for ways to irritate me, tease me, be mean to me! I'll teach him!

If only she took me seriously enough to actually do it.. It would be so much easier showing her my feelings than putting them into words. But I guess this dance may be my chance to tell her. Let's just hope I don't screw this one up like I did last time...

And with those last thoughts Ryou shut his bedroom door, and lay on the bed, thinking of a certain easily embarrassed redhead and the dance...

Not too sure about this one, as I wrote it in like 15/20 mins, since I said I'd update within a week, which explains why I'm up till 2 in the morning again! Anyway, let me know what you think please, hope you liked it. And do you guys think the next one should be about the dance, or should the dance be the one after the next. Or do you think the dance shouldn't be in this at all, as if it was it might be a little un-drabble-y, as drabbles aren't normally linked. But we'll see how it goes XD Much love, FM xoxo
