Word of the day: Infinitesimal
Pairings: Rui/Sena
Rui glared down at the girl. Sena fidgeted underneath the boy's death glance.
"How the hell did I ever miss catching you?" he snorted.
"A-ano, Rui-san, I know that you're...aggravating and all—"
"Who the hell said that I was aggravating? Was it that Hiruma bastard?" Rui snapped irately.
"Hiii!"
"Anyway," he continued, sauntering away, "you're don't look all that strong. It should be simple catching you."
Sena stifled the urge to sigh. "We-well, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but can't we put our pasts behind and start anew?" she attempted to reason.
He gave her a blank stare. "What the hell?"
"I mean, u-um…It was just a game that we had long ago and I really don't think it matters anymore."
Rui threw his head back and barked laughter, as if all of a sudden sardonic mirth was bubbling inside him. "As if, midget." Then his fun ceased, a dark expression on his face as he said, "I need to get fucking stronger so that I can face that demon bastard again," he vowed.
Sena didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.
"But seriously, how the hell did I not catch you? With my arms and skills, it should have been impossible for you to dodge away!"
Obviously, he had forgotten that her speedy legs and shortness made an advantage, but she knew better than to voice the facts. Sena already suffered from a blonde gunman always making her a fraction of utter hell, so she was wary of what slip up she would do to make that fraction even larger.
"Plus you're diminutive, hardly worth the material for American football! I know that those short legs shouldn't be able to get you far."
So Sena thought it would be wise to warrant the long-tongued male insulting her about her height. Not that she minded—she was pretty much used to it, so she just zoned out while the boy continued to babble.
However, her thoughts were interrupted when something smacked her head. Sena's eyes widened as she looked around, alarmed. "Wh-what?"
"What the hell! You weren't listening to what I was saying," Rui said sourly.
Of him making up short-jokes? "U-um…"
"Now I have to start all over! Okay, so I knew this kid who was just as tiny as you…"
Sena shook her head, but complied listening anyway, even if it meant Rui making fun of her height.
