Another stupid job. Once again, we get to stand here, doing absolutely nothing, while we wait for some unknown people to leave their house.
He fidgets beside me. I glare at him, but he keeps doing it. He's really got very limited patience. I'm actually surprised he hasn't jumped up and ran into the house yet.
It must be the money. He always has, and most likely always will, do anything to raise enough cash to pay his debts. That's why I have to do all these jobs with him; he's hopeless on his own.
Another fidget. This is getting annoying. I grab his arm, and he nearly dies of fright. Luckily, I cover his mouth before he can scream.
"You idiot," I hiss. It's just me."
He glares at me; an effect which is ruined b the fact that he's panting into my hand. Maybe I didn't think over my action well enough; he looks like he just had a heart attack. But he's not getting an apology from me.
"Bug off," he snaps. Oddly enough, though, he doesn't push my hand away. I remove it myself.
But before it comes fully off, he gasps, eyes glazing over slightly. Damn! He's picked up one of my memories again! I shake him, without getting any reaction. What is he seeing? What was I thinking about?
Then his eyes refocus, and he stares up at me, shocked. "What the hell?" he whispers.
I gulp audibly. "What did you see?"
A blush stains his cheeks. "That time when I got out of the shower and you were in the room, and… and my towel fell down."
Now I'm blushing, too. Was I really thinking about that? Though he really doesn't have anything to be embarrassed about, if I remember correctly.
"You're such a pervert!" he hisses, backing up slowly. "You're thinking about it again!"
"No, wait! You don't understand," I reply, grabbing his arm to prevent him from getting farther away. "I'm only remembering it because you…" Here I hesitate. Should I actually say it?
"What?" he asks suspiciously.
I gulp again. "You…You're b-beautiful."
He sure wasn't expecting that. He blinks those big eyes at me, lost for words. "I…"
"Yeah, so, okay," I say stupidly, turning back towards the house. I can't meet his eyes.
Then he does something so sudden, so spontaneous, that I wasn't expecting it at all.
He leans over and kisses my cheek.
I stare at him in surprise. "Kazahaya…?"
Blushing, he shifts his gaze to the house. "Don't hurry me. I'll be ready someday, Rikuo."
