Pottery
"Bye!" Meroko yelled after Mitsuki and Takuto. They were going shopping, and although they had invited her to come, she knew they wanted to be alone. She walked inside of Mitsuki's new apartment, and sat down at some random pottery wheel that Mitsuki had just bought for fun. Meroko was so bored that she decided to give the wheel a try, but every time she got it started, it would fly off. Eventually, Meroko finally got it stably spinning, but then when it was about to fly off, a pair of sturdy hands landed on top of her own.
"Eh?" Meroko didn't have to turn around to realize who's arms she was now lying in. "I-Izumi-kun…"
For a while she just sat in Izumi's arms spinning the wheel. When Meroko had finished the vase she was making, she said, "It's done!"
Meroko started to get up, when she realized that she was still in Izumi's arms. He turned her around and pulled her onto his lap, their lips locking as she turned in.
Izumi had thought she would have pulled away and slapped him, but Meroko didn't resist. When they finally broke apart, she looked at him and started to cry. Meroko felt herself being pulled into Izumi's chest, and felt him lightly kiss the top of her head.
"I love you, Me-chan." Izumi whispered into Meroko's ear.
Maybe it was wrong for a shinigami to love, Meroko thought, but… "I love you too, Izumi-kun." … Meroko wanted to love him…
