Over 2000 hits! I really want to thank you guys so much for following along! I get this nice fuzzy feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I look at the stats for this story. Thank you everyone! :)
Better:
Onodera was alone with Yokozawa in the elevator, and as if that wasn't awkward enough, right before it came time for Onodera to step out, Yokozawa grabbed his hand and gave it a quick, stern shake, mumbling something about the better man winning, all the while maintaining his piercing glare until Onodera ran out of the elevator.
Circuitry:
With all the lights and electronics running simultaneously, it was no wonder that the power went out in Onodera's apartment, and Takano, being the good neighbour that he claimed to be, came waltzing over to congratulate him on frying his circuitry.
Able:
It's not that he wasn't able to have kids, Kisa was explaining to Yukina, it's just that he couldn't stand the thought of raising his own little monsters.
Diving:
Yoshino watched Hatori's body twist and glide effortlessly through the air, amazed at how he could make jumping through such heights appear as easy as making toast for breakfast; Yoshino never dreamed that his stiff, workaholic of a boyfriend could be a diving genius.
Specimen:
Hiyo and Kirishima were both wearing their hunting costumes, firing bright orange darts at Yokozawa's back whenever he wasn't looking, mumbling between each other at the successful capture of their 'fine specimen'.
Nail:
When Yokozawa was helping Hiyo with her carpentry project, he never expected for her to miss the rather large nail and slam the hammer over his fingers; Hiyo just looked at him with that same innocent expression her father gave when he knew he was in trouble.
Choice:
"The choice is yours," said Takano slyly, "either you take your holidays now and enjoy them with me, or I shall take my holidays alone and enjoy keeping you up all hours of the night when you still have to be somewhat coherent for work."
How:
"Yoshino," said Hatori, pointing to the manuscript he was editing, "how do you expect this to sell at all?" – Yoshino didn't even look at him, saying "you weren't complaining about it last night when I brought it up", to which Hatori clunked him over the head and yelled "idiot, you know I was distracted with you!"
Unconscious:
When Onodera panicked, he pretended to act unconscious, hoping that Takano would just go away, like an uninterested bear; Takano however, was no bear, and could tell from the way Onodera's face twitched that he needed to apply for acting lessons.
Musician:
They were dancing and jumping to the beat, Yukina not paying much attention to the glances he was getting from the other audience members, though Kisa more than noticed the wink given to Yukina by the on-stage musician, and in his rage, pulled Yukina, confused and fidgeting, away from the concert.
