Chapter 37 - Purple: 269 words
A/N: Guys, I know I'm late, and I really have no excuse. Look at my profile, if you really want an explanation. But I have a story to tell!
P.s. This is slightly AU-ish, since Amane is still alive
"Ryou! What are you doing here?" Ryou heard a familiar voice and whirled around, a bottle of pink perfume clenched in one hand.
"Anzu!" Ryou glanced at the perfume bottle in his hand and shoved it in his hoodie pocket, deep fuchsia blush creeping over his pale face. "I gotta get going." He mumbled, shoving his head down. Anzu grabbed his arm.
"Hold on. Are you buying that perfume?" She demanded. Ryou tried to back away, but Anzu held tight.
"I-it's for Amane's birthday!" He spluttered nervously.
"All the more reason!" Anzu practically yelled. She reached into his pocket and drew out the perfume bottle, shaking it slightly. "Kantero scents? really? Pick a decent brand. She's twelve, right?"
"Thirteen." Ryou murmured.
Anzu steamrollered on like he hadn't spoken. "She probably wants perfume to seem more adult. A fancy-sounding scent would be better." Anzu whirled, fingers snapping pensively and eyes darting around.
"Here!" Anzu held out a slim lilac bottle. Ryou looked at it skeptically.
"Jasmine's Tender Lilac Kiss? That exists?"
Anzu grinned wryly, motioning to the bottle. "Apparently." Ryou's face pulled down in a sort of "huh" face.
Then his face straightened out, and he smiled. "Thanks for the help, Anzu." Ryou said with a bow, leaving for the checkout counter. He could feel his testosterone levels (the little he did have) dropping by the second.
Amane Bakura opened a small package that had been delivered from Domino City. She opened the box curiously. Was this from Ryou or her dad? Pulling out a bottle from between packing peanuts, she stared at its pithy title. and smiled.
Definitely Ryou.
A/N: Just a little bit of fluff for y'all!
Read and review, please? =w=?
