A.N.: Yea! The summer is finally here, which means that I don't have to study for anything, which also means that I can write more fanfiction more frequentlier (new word I made up), and if I can remember, to update frequentlier. Oh yeah, I got to go to my very first anime convention, and I think that when I go to my next one, I will dress up as Watari or something . . .my sis might be Tsuzuki . . .FUN. So, here's another Hisoka-torturing chapter! Enjoy!

It was only a matter of time now. Tsuzuki may have been ready for most things, but there was no way that he could hold up against Hisoka for much longer. In fact, it seemed that the older Shinigami was hitting his breaking point right now. Oh, it how it satisfied Hisoka to see Tsuzuki freaking out over who would win. It was inevitably going to be Hisoka, the cool, calm, and collected one.

"Please, Tsu~zu~ki?" Hisoka begged once more, trying to emphasize every syllable in the cutest way possible. He realized that everyone in the office was staring at him right now, but he couldn't care less as long as he won that bet. It wasn't a matter of not wanting to do paperwork anymore, it was a matter of his winning streak. He always won against Tsuzuki, thanks to his quick wits and sarcastic remarks, and he wasn't about to lose now.

"No. Now get back to your work," Tsuzuki answered, imitating a growl much like Hisoka would usually do at this point in the argument. He had to give Tsuzuki this- he was dedicated to win. However, dedication wasn't all that it took to be Hisoka. And because of that, Tsuzuki wouldn't win no matter how hard he tried.

"Can't we at least do something instead of being stuck inside the office?" Hisoka tried once more, trying to make his voice sound pitiful and annoying. It seemed to be working.

Watari and Tatsumi were watching this with wide eyes. Why was Tsuzuki denying sweets? Furthermore, why was Hisoka actually begging to go somewhere and eat? Tatsumi rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was seeing things correctly. Was Hisoka seriously giving Tsuzuki, the King of Puppyeyes, a run for his money. This was all too much too bear for Watari, and he promptly announced that he was going back to his labaratory. Tatsumi, however, was much too interested to continue with his work.

Who should he root for? Tsuzuki was, of course, the one that he would usually try to help. But if Hisoka was Tsuzuki, then who should be the one that he would offer his help with? But Hisoka always won, and Tsuzuki never did; it was only fair to help Tsuzuki because he was trying to be Hisoka, who always won, and Hisoka was trying to be Tsuzuki, who always lost, so Tsuzuki would have to win this argument to keep the ball rolling. "Ah, Tsuzuki, I wanted to give you this cupcake," he randomly improvised, after taking a cupcake from the dessert table.

Tsuzuki's eyes widened slightly, but he kept a stern face. "You really should keep sweets out of the office, Tatsumi-san . . ."

They both looked to Hisoka, who fidgeted slightly. Who would want that, that thing? It was messy; therefore, it would get crumbs all over the office that Hisoka would eventually have to clean up. They were also disgusting. Sweet things were okay, but not when they were smothered in frosting and covered in bitter sprinkles. That was just a recipe for disaster.

"Alright then. Kurosaki, do you want it?" Tatsumi asked, holding out the sweet object to him.

It looked revolting- the way that the pink frosting overlapped the vanilla cake, the unceremonious arrangement of sprinkles on top, not to mention the gaudy wrapper that it was in. Obviously, it was inedible. But Tsuzuki did seem to enjoy them. And therefore, by being Tsuzuki, he was forced to let out an almost inaudible whisper of, "Of course . . ." The evil pastry was handed to him, and Hisoka gradually peeled the paper off. This was certainly no chocolate bunny (1) . He picked up a single sprinkle and delicately placed it into his mouth. Who was he kidding? There was no way that he could carefully pick at it. One false nibble and it would all come crashing down. This would be a slight problem. Hisoka licked a bit of the frosting gently, the taste of strawberry filling his mouth. It was too sweet for the normally somewhat sour fruit. He twirled the cupcake slightly, licking off even more of the frosting. It was slightly irritating when a bit of the frosting got stuck on his cheek. He quickly licked that away, as well.

By now most of the frosting was gone. All that was left was the cake part of the cupcake. Hisoka took a small nibble at it, and he was slightly shocked that it wasn't nearly as bad as he would have imagined. In fact, it was the most edible part of the entire pastry.

After finishing the rest of the cupcake, making sure that his fingers were completely free of any reminder of what had happened, and dusting the crumbs off himself, Hisoka looked up at Tatsumi and Tsuzuki, both of whom had very deep blushes (2) . It was best to keep attempting the Tsuzuki charm, so he tilted his head to one side in a very Tsuzuki-like manner. "What?" he asked innocently.

Tsuzuki cleared his throat and grabbed another piece of paperwork. "It took you too long to eat that. You could've gotten a lot done in that time, idiot."

Oh. He did not just say it. Tsuzuki was obviously dedicated to winning this bet, especially if he would call Hisoka an idiot.

And he hated to say it. In fact, he winced just thinking about it. But Tsuzuki actually had a very convincing act going on. So convincing that Hisoka found it only right that he turn on even more of his cute appeal. He looked up at Tsuzuki with his large eyes. "Tsuzuki, I was really hungry . . ."

Got him. This act of awesome cuteness easily caught Tsuzuki off his guard. He looked ready to give up at any moment now. Yep. Any moment he would succumb to the ultimate cuteness. Any minute now.

"Get back to work."

A.N.: Okay, my sister sort of forced me to work on this chapter, and let's all thank her for it. If you noticed the little (1) and (2), I'll explain them- (1) That came from one of my one-shots Chocolate Bunnies and Strawberry Blood. I guess that if you read it, it would make it funnier. (2) I was thinking about making a companion chapter with Tsuzuki's ideas about the meticulous eating of the cupcake. If you think about it, it could be sexual, I guess.
If you want me to make the companion chapter, it may take longer, but I will. Just review and tell me. Thanks for reading!
