Nothing but the sounds of water running and dishes clattering. We stay in silence. I keep on washing the dishes while Asami flips to another page of his newspaper. Did he even hear me? I wait for a little while longer before I say what I want to say. Finally he answers.

"What are you up to, Takaba? If it's something stupid then I don't want to hear it," he finishes his coffee and put it back down onto the dinning table.

What I have in mind is indeed stupid, but the most accurate word to describe it is more childish than stupid. Or is it selfish? I blush to the thought and get back to finish the dirty dishes.

"N-Nothing." I answer him.

From behind me, I feel an intense stare. Knowing whom it's from, I hope it's not anything personal.

I jump to the sound of a chair creaking as it's being pulled back. Asami's done with his coffee already? Wait... No. Why is he walking toward me? Is he mad to the fact that I lied?

When I turn off the running water, Asami's arm wraps around my waist while the other's placed on the edge of the sink. My back is full of Asami's warmth as he pulls me close.

"I don't think you know me that well yet, Takaba," he rests his head on my shoulder and whispers to my ear, "but I am pretty sure you know that I know everything about you. I can see through you like you see yourself in the mirror."

My mind flashes back to this morning when I saw my reflection in the mirror, my body was covered with bruises. Once again I blush to the thought.

"O-Of course. Don't you have your men follow me to everywhere I go? You might even have my background checked already. After all, you're Asami. Tsk!" I click my tongue as I hear him smirk next to my ear," Jerk! Go and finish drinking your damn coffee."

"Then there's another thing that you don't know about me, Takaba. I usually rather drink you than my plain expresso."


Sorry for taking forever. I had some writers block and again was being lazy. I'm sure you already know what's gonna happen next (cough cough something dirty cough ) but I won't upload it on here. Sorry about that. I wanna keep it pure on here. Thank you again for reading. :)
