The shirt felt very nice on my skin, I actually had no doubt that it must be made out of a very expensive fabric. I liked how the sleeve's cuffs clung snugly to my wrists.
"I have a feeling that Light-kun favors the shirt I lent to him...He may keep it. It shall be...a gift from me to you." Ryuzaki said in almost a mutter. His words made me jerk my head up so I could see if he was being serious or not.
"B-But, Ryuzaki! I couldn't accept this! Yes, it is very nice and I do like it but...I'm still trying to pay you back for your limo that I sort of...dented." Slowly I began rubbing the back of my neck. The subject was rather embarrassing since I hadn't been paying attention when the mistake occurred.
He then closed his eyes and shook his head, his smile still in place, "No, no, no, Raito-kun...Please. It'd make me happy if you kept it. I really love the glimmer your eyes get when you put it on or think about it." He then lifted his foot and scratched his other leg with it as he glanced down at the cup he was holding.
Oh! The soft drink! I forgot all about it...! Gah, now I must seem like a jerk. He brought it in here, thinking about nothing other than me and I don't even take it from him!
Shyly, I extended my arm and gripped the cup. I allowed my fingers to brush his as I took the cup from him then placed it against my lips and gave it a quick taste test.
Guah! Bleh! This tastes...It tastes awful! I then pulled the cup from my mouth but gave him no hint that I was displeased with the flavor of the wretched tasting soft-drink, "Thank you for pouring this for me, Ryuzaki. It was very...thoughtful of you." I gave him my most appreciative smile before setting the cup down on a coaster.
"Raito-kun...Doesn't like it...Does he?" I tensed for a moment, I didn't think I gave him a hint that I didn't care for it! Slowly my eyes glanced over to his face and a flinched. The older man's eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes looked...sad.
"Wh-What? No, Ryuzaki..! I like it! Honestly, I do. It's very...sour, hah." I scratched the back of my head as I tried my best to comfort the man.
"Aweh...Now I made Raito-kun uncomfortable. You don't have to lie to me, I know it mustn't be something you favor...I was just hoping it'd be something you'd care for." His eyes then slowly fell downward towards the floor in almost a pouty way.
"Ryuzaki-san! I'm telling you the truth! I. LOVE. IT. I love it! I really, really do!" I slowly stood up straight and crossed my arms then narrowed my eyes. I WILL make him think that I like it!
"If you love it so much...Take another drink." His eyes stayed locked on the ground, it was actually almost impossible to see them since his hair was now shielding his face.
"F-...Fine." I rolled my eyes and forced myself not to make a face as I reached down and grabbed the cup. Gosh, now I have to take another drink of this shit. Slowly the liquid filled my mouth and I began drinking it, Guah..! It almost burns the back of my throat.
Slowly my eyebrows furrowed as I continued to drink it, The taste it's...sort of addicting. I suppose I just had to get used to the flavor. It actually tastes pretty nice!
I blinked when I realized that there was nothing left of the soft drink, so I sat the plastic cup onto the table and very...very slowly glanced up at L. Had I drunk it too fast? Why is everything...wavy?
***L
Finally, I raised my gaze to stare at the boy. I couldn't help but feel nervous, what if he found out it was all pure alcohol? Would he tell his parents? Well, of course he would. I wouldn't doubt it.
Slowly I let out a sigh of relief when I noticed that the teenager's eyes seemed very hazed unlike his normal alert ones. The smile then crept against my lips, "You don't look so well, Raito-kun...Why don't you come here?" I then held my arms out to him, waiting for his soft embrace.
