A/N: A new chapter! I just reread ch.3 and realized that my comment at
the end made it seem like the story was finished, which it wasn't... ^_^;;;
It was merely the chapter that was finished. And now the next one is
starting.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mit-chan watched Shigure nibble intently at his honey-glazed donut over the brim of her mug of steaming black coffee. His dark onyx hair drooped over his slate-gray eyes as he set down his donut, looking as if it were painful to let it go, and took a sip of his coffee. She narrowed her eyes at him, squinting as if trying to see something there that escaped her. His eyebrows twitched as the liquid scorched his lips, and he promptly set down the caffeinated goodness and resumed his donut. Both were silent, the moment was awkward enough without Shigure every once in awhile masking a grin. Mit-chan tilted her head, observing him. He was so... odd. As if he were still a boy underneath it all, a boy that knew how to be wise on occasions that were usually few and far between. He seemed so intriguing to her, though she'd never admit it to anyone. Mit-chan jerked upright and blushed as she noticed Shigure was staring right at her.
"Why are you staring at me!?!" she gritted awkwardly, flustered.
Shigure shrugged casually and tilted his head. "You were staring at me first."
Mit-chan paused. Had she been staring? "... Oh..."
Shigure cleared his throat. "Un, Mit-chan?" he asked slowly, fiddling with the broken ring of his donut.
"...Ne?"
"Can I have your donut?" he inquired, prodding the side of her jelly- filled donut powdered with yummy icing sugar that melts in your mouth when you eat it and mixes up with the squishy oozy strawberry jelly when you bite it and... Gomen, I got carried away. Back to the story!
Mit-chan gazed sluggishly down at her donut which sat looking all lonely on a small white plate. "I am a little full." She confessed. Shigure snatched the donut.
"Not that full." she said reproachfully, taking back the donut and tearing it carefully in half, trying and succeeding only barely from keeping the jelly from spilling onto the table and eliminating the entire purpose of the title Jelly Filled.
She handed one half to Shigure, and nibbled at the corners of her piece. Shigure's had already disappeared down his throat. He went back to his honey-glazed ring, before realizing his coffee had probably cooled down and setting it back down.
He lifted the mug to his lips.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Shigure stared at Mit-chan over his coffee mug. She looked rather sleepy, her cheeks were flushed and she just prodded sluggishly at her half of the jelly-filled donut. Red jam oozed out all over the plate, and she shut her eyes, as if wanting to sleep. Shigure smiled discreetly through the coffee. She looked so cute when she was dozing.
He really did need to go a little easier on her.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Through nearly-closed lids, Mit-chan watched Shigure stare at her. She shut her eyes completely, tired and worn out and feeling a bit feverish. At a sudden clinking sound and some rustling, she snapped them open again, alarmed that Shigure might be pulling some prank on her. Shigure was smiling, sipping his coffee and looking pleased with himself. Mit-chan's eyes wandered down.
On her plate was half of a honey-glazed donut.
"Arigato Shigure..." she drifted drowsily, taking a small bite of the donut before shutting her eyes again and leaning tiredly against the back of her café chair. She'd been up all last night, unable to sleep, and now she felt slightly sick. The sweet, honey taste drifted on her lips, increasing her drowsiness. Shigure seemed so young.
~I suppose men remain boys no matter how old they get, as long as they let themselves.~ Mit-chan thought idly to herself.
"Eh, Mit-chan?"
Her eyes fluttered open. "Ara..?"
"You are very flushed. Are you alright?"
"H-Hai..."
He placed a rough palm to her forehead, before she could react to push him away. "You have a fever." he murmured. "My house is closer, I'll take you there."
Mit-chan nodded drowsily, lacking the energy to reject his offer, and allowed him to escort her out of the coffee shop, after digging into his pocket and leaving several coins on the table.

Ok, gomen that was really dumb and kind of pointless ^_^; FF.net has been evil to me for the past few weeks and I haven't been able to get anything up, and I was hit with writer's block but I felt like I should add another chapter so here it was ^_^; I'll try to write more to make up for lost time!
