16. Questioning (Ryuuzaki's eyes)

His eyes were always questioning.

Are you talking to me?

You're not serious, are you?

What are you trying to suggest?

You can't be implying that I'm wrong?

Always questioning, but only questioning someone else. He was like that; firmly set in his ways, and he never doubted himself. Raito liked and hated that about him. He had started wondering if those dark shadowed eyes could do anything else but question (he also wondered if Ryuuzaki could do anything else).

And then one day, at long last, Raito saw it. It was flickering, as they subconsciously leaned in closer, in Ryuuzaki's eyes. A glance, so quick he almost missed it, but it was there.

Yes, for the first time in his life, Ryuuzaki's eyes showed that glimmer of doubt, a question posed to the boy (whose lips were getting oh so close and whose breath was oh so warm against his face) in front of him.

Is this okay?

Do you really want this?

Do I really want this?

What is 'this'?

Raito smiled, causing Ryuuzaki to blink wide-eyed, pulling back slightly, as though suddenly realizing their proximity.

Raito sighed delicately and shook his head, resisting the urge to chuckle. Placing a hand on the back of Ryuuzaki's neck, he pulled lightly so that their foreheads touched. Ryuuzaki opened his mouth to speak, when Raito cut him off with a gentle press of his lips.

"Ssh, Ryuuzaki." Raito's golden eyes took on a teasing gleam as he cupped the detective's pale face in his hands. "You'll ruin the moment."

Authors Note: I'd like to note that this is probably going to eventually become a larger drabble, I just felt like posting it now for feedback. And I think it's cute. Hehe. The last line is in reference to the 'Hold My Hand' drabble from before, in case you didn't catch it. (It'll make a lot more sense if you've read that drabble). Speaking of the ending, I've been messing with it a lot. Please tell me what you thought of it!

I'd like to thank everyone again who has been reading and reviewing this drabble series- your reviews really mean a lot to me!

NOTE: I have deleted the chapter 'Under the Rain' because that's going to be the last chapter of this series, as its much easier to put things in relative chronological order, and to do that I have to keep moving chapters around, which is messy. Anyway, basically, I will repost that chapter when I've finished this series.
