Last Chapter

Hoping that Tsuzuki wouldn't notice his bright red face that was flushed with embarrassment.

However Tsuzuki had noticed.

Unsettled Emotions Part 2

"What brought upon that reaction I wonder?" he thought curiously. He shrugged it off and went back to worrying on the pole of papers in front of him.

"So many summaries to write," he groaned. What he had said about being drained hadn't been a complete lie. All this paper work really had burnt him out. He wished he could have a few days off. And then get back to some field work. If there was one thing he hated it was paperwork.

Tsuzuki looked over at Hisoka writing yet another summary. His papers were all stacked neatly, in their perfect handwriting. In comparison Tsuzuki's own desk had papers scattered everywhere, and the writing was chicken scratch. He smiled at his partner's diligence. Hisoka was worrying his lower lip with his teeth. Although he hated the thought of those soft full lips being bitten, it was adorable to watch.

Everything about Hisoka made his heart swell. From the way those emerald orbs would get that determined look in them, to the way that he chastised Tsuzuki for eating too many sweets, and he looked even cuter when he blushed when Tsuzuki teased him. He could help loving the Shinigami for all that he was.

These were the thoughts that had plagued him, constantly invading his mind. He just couldn't get Hisoka out of his head. And to tell you the truth he didn't want to. He just wished he knew how Hisoka felt about him.

"He probably just sees me as an annoying older brother," getting depressed as he thought about that.

He hated not being able to express his feelings to Hisoka. But he would not risk his friendship with the person he cared most about just for the possibility that there could be something between them. They had a delicate understanding and he didn't want to overstep that boundary, even if it held back his own heart. He would remain an ever guiding friend to Hisoka if he had to.

The problem was that his resolve had been faltering more and more. The wall he had built around his heart, since he was with Tatsumi, was slowly crumbling. He didn't know how long his facade of friendship towards the younger Shinigami would hold. It was a battle he was slowly losing, and he was afraid it might end everything.

(AN: So how was it? Do you want more? Then review! Please I live off the response of others! I know it was short but it's a continuation of the first chapter. Ja ne!)
