Party by Strawberry'd
December 29, 2005
Late at night, Ryuuzaki Sakuno stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. It was chilly that night and she hugged her arms for warmth. The crowd was loud and noisy; smoke from cigarettes threatened to choke her. Fresh air would do her some good.
Her small hands were lightly placed upon the balcony's metal railing. Her face was turned upward and eyes closed. The soft breeze gently assaulted her face and neck. Honestly, when was her grandmother going to stop throwing these elaborate parties? She didn't like them at all so why have them? Sakuno opened her eyes to look at the stars. Their lights winked at her, seemingly close to touch but millions of miles away.
Suddenly, just as Sakuno was drifting off again, a light touch sent her spiraling out of her reverie. Two arms wrapped themselves around Sakuno's slender waist and a lock of hair brushed her temple.
"Don't you think you should come inside now?" A low voice asked her.
"Ryoma-kun, you scared me!" Sakuno said jumping.
"What were you thinking about so deeply that made me scare you?" He asked her, his warm breath wafting along her ear. She squirmed slightly; Sakuno was really ticklish.
"Nothing. I was just looking at the stars." Silence after that. She guessed that Ryoma was looking at the stars with her. Sakuno felt a faint pressure along her neck. "R-Ryoma-kun?" She gasped as he continued to kiss her.
At long last, he ceased to create that tingly sensation and those shivers that covered Sakuno's body. "Let's go back inside." He whispered into her ear. Nodding seemed like all Sakuno could do. "After all," he added with a quirk of the lips, "you only get engaged once, right?"
Teddy Bear by Strawberry'd
02 December 2005
It was her birthday and he had no idea what to get her. Usually she would hint at a new watch or a movie she wanted to see for a while. Always large and repetitive hints because, as we all know, Ryoma couldn't afford any less.
But this year, she had given him no hints. No squeals of how cute this was, or how she really needed a new purse. She remained silent, much to his frustration. What was he supposed to get her…?
He sighed. Really, what was a guy to do about buying a girl a present if she didn't tell him anything? Honestly. He grumbled inwardly to himself. Because of his predicament, Ryoma took it upon himself to go to the mall and window shop for something that would even minimally appeal to her.
He shuffled down the many aisles and lanes through the mall. He wandered into clothing stores he knew she went to. He sifted through the many shoes and footwear items she might enjoy.
Nothing. He had absolutely nothing. Almost absentmindedly, Ryoma walked into a pet store. He was looking for a new toy he could get Karupin. Somewhere deep in his conscience, he reprimanded himself, saying how he should put his girlfriend first, not his cat, but Ryoma gave it no heed.
Brushes… catnip… balls with the bells inside… yarn… Karupin had all those. Hmmm, but what was this? A little toy sitting on the rack, looking ever so lonesome. It had caught his attention and now he couldn't shake the idea from his mind. No one could go wrong with one of these… right?
A few hours later, sitting on her doorstep, Ryoma handed Sakuno a cutely wrapped (which obviously means he didn't wrap it himself) present. She ooh-ed and ahh-ed and hugged him in happiness. Ryoma could only bask in her praise. She opened her present and peered past the tissue paper and saw… a small teddy bear.
"Ano… thank you, Ryoma-kun!" She said, smiling into the box. "I can tell you put a lot of thought into this."
They two had a slightly conversation for a while before departing. Sakuno smiled, bemused, as she stepped back into her house. 'Isn't this… a cat toy?'
