I am so very sorry for not updating sooner! I was spending time on Gaia and got addicted so yea.. but I have returned! And thank you everyone for so many good reviews! I am sorry if this chapter is not too good but I had a huge writer's block, another reason why it took so long. So now, onward!
Kitty Tsuzuki
Tsuzuki yawned widely before stretching. He blinked and looked around the room, searching for it's missing male occupant. He had fallen asleep a few hours ago on the couch on top of Hisoka's stomach, which made a very comfy pillow, but Hisoka was no longer there.
The violet-eyed kitty jumped off the couch and quickly walked towards the boy's room, hoping he was there but sadly the room was empty. He sat down, pondering where to look next when he heard the shower turn on, 'Oh. He's showering..' He could not help but blush lightly as he recalled what happened a few days ago when Hisoka got out of the shower. The kitty laid down on the floor, practically crying, 'Yup. I am dead. And the puppy eyes don't work on Soka.. But since I am going to die anyway...'
The kitty jumped up and quickly headed towards the bathroom, 'May as well see my little Soka nakie in the shower...' And just as the he got to the door, it opened and out come a fully dressed Hisoka along with a bunch of steam rising from behind him.
Tsuzuki whimpered, missing one of his final chances to see Hisoka with no clothes on.
The blond smiled kindly down at the kitty, picking it up, "Sleep well, Neko-chan?"
Tsuzuki meowed and licked Hisoka's nose, causing the boy to chuckle. "I'll take that as a yes. Now, let's get to work, shall we?"
Once there, Hisoka placed his kitty on the ground and then promptly started working on the stack of paperwork piled neatly on his desk. On occasion, he would stop writing and his gaze would land on the empty desk of his partner. After several times of doing this, he finally said "I miss him."
Brown cat ears perked up as two amethyst eyes focused themselves on the blond, "Meow?" --What?-- 'Did he just say what I think he said?'
Two soft hands belonging to Hisoka gently lifted Tsuzuki up and placed him in his lap and stroked him lightlyly, "My partner. You still haven't met him, have you? Well, he's off on a mission to collecting sweets. Probably pigging out on them himself like usual."
'I don't pig out on purpose! The sweets! They say 'Eat us Tsuzuki and we shall make your tummy happy'!' Thought the shinigami-turned-kitty as he kept on staring at his partner.
Hisoka chuckled lightly to himself as several amusing images of Tsuzuki came to mind, "He's quite cute at times actually."
Tsuzuki choked on air after hearing the emerald-eyed boy say that, his eyes now the size of plates, 'He.. he... he just... said.. tha.. that I'm... cute!'
"Just don't tell him I said that." Added Hisoka as he smiled at the kitten, "I don't want him to know I think that way of him..."
"Mreerrww!" -- Why!-- Shouted Tsuzuki, wondering why on earth would his own partner not want to tell him that he thinks he's cute.
"Actually, you remind me of Tsu, Neko-chan. You both have those gorgeous amethyst eyes that I practically lose myself in every time I gaze into them... and you both have a fetish for apple pie." Stated the blond, blinking slightly when he noticed what time the clock on the wall showed, "It's 2:57 already? Watari should've already come to check up on you by now."
'He loses himself.. in my eyes...' That thought kept on running through Tsuzuki's mind, not even hearing what the boy had just said.
Now that he thought about, there were several emotions coming from Watari's lab like sadness, emptiness, loneliness, and guilt, all of which had something to do with Tatsumi. 'Maybe.. I should go talk to him.. I mean, he is the one who listens to all my problems and helps me out with them so the least I could do is help out with this'
Hisoka stood up, holding his kitten close as he left the room and headed towards the lab.
Tatsumi, going against all his rational thoughts, had decided to go to Watari and confront him about what had happened but what he did not expect was seeing the blond beauty sitting by his desk and filling out paperwork, no experiments or concoctions were visible, "Watari-san?"
"Hello, Tatsumi-san. I am here doing my work as I said that I would." He said without so much as glancing at the secretary.
Azure eyes stared at the golden locks on the back of Watari's head, their owner unsure of how to respond.
"Anything more you want, Tatsumi-san? If you're not leaving, that must mean I am doing something wrong. Please, do tell what am I doing wrong? Sitting? Breathing? Or maybe just existing? Tell me which so I can change and be the perfect robot in your eyes." Said Watari, his voice emotionless while his eyes continued to be focused on the paperwork. 'Please leave.. Please... I don't want to cry in front of you...'
"Dammit! Yutaka!" Tatsumi exclaimed as he grabbed the scientist by his shoulders and forcefully spun him around so they would be face to face.
Watari's eyes widened as he stared at the man gripping him by the shoulders, "Tat--" The older shinigami's lips prevented him from finishing what he was saying as they suddenly pressed themselves up against his own and the scientist's already large honey-brown eyes increased in size before sliding shut as he finally reacted to the kiss and kissed back. After several seconds, the two pulled apart and stared at the other. Watari opened his mouth to say something but Tatsumi cut him off before he could.
"Don't talk. Please. Just let me say this. I hate seeing you this way. I hate you hating me so much you would not so much as look at me so please stop. I know I have been a real bastard to you recently but that's only because I'm not sure how to act around you. I do care about you... Much more then you think. As you do about me. I heard you say yesterday that you like me more then as a friend and I feel the same way about you. I.. I love you." Tatsumi exhaled deeply after finishing speaking, his sapphire eyes were still locked with Watari's amber ones.
Watari Yutaka was rarely at a loss of words. It had happened only once when he was alive and now, for the first time in his afterlife, he was rendered completely speechless as he gaped like a fish at his decade-long crush after he had finished his speech, 'Is.. is this a dream?'
As if reading the other's thoughts, the brunette closed the space between them and their lips met yet again but this kiss was far deeper then the first. Tatsumi's arms snaked around Watari's waist, pulling him closer while the younger shingami's arms wrapped themselves around the older's neck. Tatsumi's tongue stroked Watari's lips with its tip, wanting entry inside which Watari allowed and when his lips parted, Tatsumi's tongue thrust itself inside almost immediately, hunting for the other's tongue. The two tongues met and began caressing the other, fighting over control since both wanted to be dominant over the other though neither really cared who was in control.
Within several minutes clothing was being tossed to the ground. So far, Watari's lab coat and Tatsumi's jacket as well as vest and tie were already off and now the blond had just torn open Tatsumi's dress shirt, popping several buttons, when footsteps approached the door and stopped.
Upon hearing the footsteps, both men stubbornly pulled away and looked towards the door to see Hisoka and Kitty Tsuzuki staring at them, both equally stunned. The two man jumped away from each other, with Watari hitting his back against the table behind him, "Ow fuck!"
"Erm.. Kurosaki-kun.." Tatsumi reached up to adjust his glasses but realized that they had been removed a few minutes after his and Watari's make-out session had begun.
"Sorry.. I didn't mean to interrupt.." Stuttered the blushing boy as he walked out of the room, shutting the door before adding, "Lock the door next time!"
The secretary and scientist stared at the door before both looked at each other.
"So I guess the ice-for-blood, money-tight secretary actually loves me, the ever eccentric, mad scientist." Said Watari, a large smirk plastered on his face.
Two azure eyes were once again hidden by glasses before their owner stated, "Be that as it may, I shall still treat you as an employee while at work."
"Aww.. but Seii-chan..."
"Refer to me as Seii-chan again and your paycheck will suffer."
"If you cut my paycheck, you'll be the one handcuffed to the bed, Seii-chan."
"Highly unlikely as I am your boss and what I say goes, so if there is any handcuffs or such involved, it shall be you that they are connected to, Watari-san."
"We'll discuss this after work. Right now, let's continue with what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted."
Crimson was still visible on Hisoka's pale cheeks as he quickly walked back towards his office, "I guess they sorted everything out..."
Neko-chan nodded, "Meow.." --Yea..--
Hisoka closed the door after having entered his office. He leaned against it, letting out a deep sigh as he closed his eyes.
"Are you alright, Hisoka-kun?"
The teenage boy blinked, looking up to see Wakaba sitting in a chair, a plate of warm, freshly baked cookies lying on the table next to her.
The kitty began drooling as he saw the cookies, such a beautiful tint of brown, perfectly golden edges, warm steam still rising from them, the sweet, o so sweet icing on top. 'I love Wakaba-chan's cookies...'
"Yea. I'm fine." Replied the blond as he headed towards the curly-haired girl, who was sitting in Tsuzuki's chair He placed his kitty next to the cookies while he stood beside Wakaba.
"Oh. Well, sorry that I'm worrying so much. I guess It's in my nature to worry about people. And I made you some cookies that barely have any sugar. They're on your desk" Said Wakaba as she pointed towards his desk where there indeed was a plate filled with cookies just for him.
"Arigatou."
She smiled, "You're welcome." Her mutli-color eyes focused on the kitty, who was by now licking the plate clean and she couldn't help but chuckle, "He's so adorable."
"Terazuma's fuming outside the door."
Wakaba blinked as she looked over at the glass pane on the door and instantly noticed Terazuma's head, steam coming from his ears... or maybe it's just a cigarette.. but either way, he was mad, "Hajime-chan!"
Tsuzuki looked up at the pointy-eared shinigami and smirked internally as he ran to Wakaba, jumped in her lap, and began licking her face madly which caused Terazuma to become angrier.
"Hey!" He banged on the glass pane, "Get the hell of my partner you fucking cat!"
The licking increased and Wabaka began giggling.
"I said get the fuck off her you bastard!" He began trying to get the door open but found he couldn't, so be began ramming himself repeatedly into the door for several minutes, "Open up you damned door!"
"Pull." Hisoka finally said as he ate one of his cookies.
Terazuma stopped, blinked, and pulled on the doorknob, opening the door. He flushed red out of sheer embarrassment, not being able too look his partner in the eye now, "I.. umm... ahh... erm.."
Tsuzuki erupted in kitty laughter and he fell off Wakaba's lap while laughing, almost crying, but he landed on his feet and promptly continued laughing his kitty ass off.
Hisoka quickly ate his dinner, tonight it was a microwave dinner consisting of chicken nuggets, fries, and corn while his kitty had his own dinner, an apple pie and a cookie.
Once done, the boy stood up and threw out the plastic plate his food was in before heading to his room.
Two big, amethyst watched him vanish inside his room, 'Maybe I should follow him in case he does anything..' The kitty quickly finished eating before running as fast as his kitty legs could towards the blond's room. Once there, he saw his partner seated on the bed, writing in a small book. Curious, Tsuzuki got on the bed and sat next to the boy, his brown tail wrapping around him, "Meow?"
A smile appeared on Hisoka's face as he continued writing, "It's a journal. I decided to keep one after being paired up with Tsuzuki. Wanna read? I know that you can since Watari probably gave you some pills that make you able to read, too."
'I couldn't! He.. he'd really kill.. oo! Is that my name?' He was now interested so started reading the latest entry.
'Today I just happened to walk in on Watari and Tatsumi making out. They were already getting undressed and I walked in.. I should've been able to feel them better but apparently both were blocking the emotions till the very last second. Not too smart.. I also should've knocked.. I really should've. But I'm happy for them. Watari and Tatsumi are perfect for the other.
And when I got back to the office, Wakaba had come and brought Neko-chan and me some cookies. Terazuma was jealous of my kitty when he started licking Wakaba. I swear, it's as if he thought the kitty was Tsuzuki. And he didn't even know how to open a door. I thought he could at least do that much while enraged.
Also, I'm not going to lie to myself any longer. It's not worth it. I know that I love Tsuzuki and have been in denial about for the longest time. Now, I'm being open to myself about my feelings. I may not ever tell Tsu this but at least I know how I truly feel about him and that I need him near me or else I just don't feel whole. I can't wait until he comes back because I miss him.'
Tsuzuki reread that last paragraph several times, in disbelief about what it said, 'He... does love me...'
Hisoka smiled at his kitty as he closed the journal and put it on top of his dresser before looking at Neko-chan, "Tsuzuki will probably like you once he sees you. He likes everyone and everyone likes him." He yawned and stretched slightly, deciding it was time for him to get ready for bed.
Tsuzuki stayed where he was, staring blankly at the bed sheets as the same thought repeated itself in his mind, 'He.. really loves me..'
End of chapter 6! Only a chapter and I believe an epilogue to go before the fic is completed! I am sorry if the chapter was bad and not worth the long wait but it was the best thing I could write while on writer's block. And who has ever had that happen to them where you pulled or pushed on a door only to realize that you had to do the opposite? I know it's happened to me several dozen times so it proves Terazuma is not the only idiot.. I think...
Terazuma glares and mutteres something under his breath.
Kds smiles, "So I hope you enjoyed and please review! Thanks and ja ne!
