A/N: Okay, I know I said Yuki and Machi were next, but I got this cute idea for a MitsuruXShigure, that I had to write it. I promise Yuki and Machi will be next! For the sake of the fan fiction, ignore the freaky Shigure/Akito business in the manga. I guess Shigure's eccentric enough that he could only like a (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING) psycho girl like her (yes, Akito's a girl) but still . . .

And sorry, but no, yaoi/yuri makes me nauseous. So there will be none of that. No, no, no, no.

Progress of Different Color

"WRITE! WRITE SOMETHING . . . ANYTHING!"

"Mi-tsu-ru . . ." Shigure swiveled his chair around to face his editor who was at her usual ranting post behind him. "I just can't write anything. I'm a romantic novelist! (Insert dramatic pose on his part) I must write something of a romantic nature."

Mii slapped her forehead. "Okay, fine! Then do it!"

"Alas, I have no ideas, no romantic inspiration."

Mii balled her fists. "You want some romantic inspiration? Then here, here's some romantic inspiration:" She grabbed the sides of his face and kissed him hard. The kiss lasted for about five seconds at most for that's how long it took Mii to regain her senses. When that happened, she quickly pulled back.

Shigure, who had closed his eyes out of reflex, now slowly opened them. For the first time Mii saw a faint blush appear on his nose. He looked very surprised, to say the least.

"Er . . . um . . ." Mii stammered, her head bowed in shame. "I'm sorr—"

"Ah, Mii-chan?" Shigure rose from his chair.

"Yes?" She still didn't look up.

"I don't think I quite got it that time . . ."

Mii felt a finger lift her chin and she found Shigure's seductive grin inches away. "Could you do it again?"

Going bright red, Mii managed to get out an "I think so."

Slowly, she put her lips on his again, except this time Shigure kissed back.

"Mmmm, my cute little editor," he sighed happily against her mouth. He felt her smile.

Needless to say, that, although not on the novel, the two made great progress that day!

A/N: I hope you liked it! Ciao! Review, please!
