A/N: Three! In this one, I wanted to try something different. Is it okay?
~Rabbit X Suji~
Moonstone Magic
"You know that is bad for you, right?" Rabbit looked at the Asian, bloodshot hazel eyes dark and deadly, a cigarette held between her index and middle finger.
"What's your point?" she snarled, taking another drag, allowing the smoke to enter her lungs.
"Michael would kill me if he saw me seeing you doing this and not saying anything," he replied, taking a seat next to her, their legs dangling off the edge of the dock as they looked out towards the water.
"Sounds like a personal problem," she grumbled, allowing the smoke to escape her lips as she spoke.
"That is going to kill you, anyways," he continued, taking a glance at her with a frown.
"I'm gonna die soon. Might as well hurry along the process," She tapped the edge of her cigarette, allowing the ashes to fall into the water.
"Why must you be so negative?" he questioned, "After all, it is Christmas!"
"I don't give a damn," she deadpanned, taking another drag, this time blowing the smoke in his face. "It could be the day the Blood Roses gain complete control over San Paro. I'd still be doing the same thing."
"What's wrong with you?" he asked, coughing a bit. "You're normally never this grumpy."
"Why do you worry so much?"
"Because I care about you."
"Then don't!"
"I will. Now, you want to talk?"
"No, dammit! Just leave me alone!"
The cigarette was taken from the foot-soldier, being flicked into the water before them.
"HEY!" she cried, glaring at the DJ. He just smiled at her.
"It is bad for you!" he repeated, patting her back. "Come on! Christmas is a time for joy!"
She didn't reply. She just looked at the dark river, hazel eyes avoiding his gaze.
"What happened?" he urged, hand moving to rest on her shoulder. "Bad news?"
More silence from the foot-soldier, though he could see tears starting to form in her eyes. He frowned.
"Was it about Gumball?" Her hands curled into tight fists. He was right. "I told you to stay away from G-Kings."
"Shut up, Suji," she whimpered, "Just shut the hell up!"
"They are all bad," he continued softly, pulling her into a warm hug, allowing her to cry into his chest. "Blood Roses will never hurt you, little hare. I can promise you that."
She stayed silent, her hand gripping his shirt tightly as he held her close.
"I hate it when you're right," she muttered, making him smile slightly.
"I have a surprise for you!" he told her, pulling her away from his chest. "It should cheer you up! You like snow, right?"
"What?" He pulled her onto her feet, grabbing her hand and running down the street, a smile on his face. "What do you mean 'snow'?! It doesn't snow in California, Suji!"
Suji practically forced Rabbit into his car, driving back to Havalynd, all the while, the young foot-soldier demanding to know where he was taking her. He would just smile, telling her it was a surprise.
"Close your eyes!" he spoke once they started to near Merchant Avenue. She frowned, though did as she was told. It seemed a bit colder as they slowly drove through the street. No cars passed them either.
"Suji, what's going on?" she asked, eyes remaining shut. "Are you going to sacrifice me?"
"Of course not!" he cried, looking at her like she was insane. "I would never do such a thing!"
"Okay. Just making sure," she giggled. The DJ shook his head, slowly stopping the car.
"You can open your eyes now," he spoke with a smile, watching as her hazel eyes opened. She stared out the window in awe.
"Suji... what the hell is this?" she questioned. He smiled, grabbing a black box and exiting the car, the girl doing the same. "How did this happen?!"
"You know that elf on Jagalchi Street?" he asked, watching her nod. "I asked if it would help me, and it agreed!"
"Dude, this is amazing," She looked up at him. "Why'd you do this?"
"I have my reasons, little hare," he chuckled, handing the black box to her. "I hope you like these!"
"Suji, why?" she asked, looking at the box that rested in her hands. "Why are you so nice?!"
"Because, Rabbit," He leaned down, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "I hate seeing someone like you in pain."
"You're making me feel bad."
"Don't! And open up the box!"
"What's in here? A severed head? 'Cause that'd be badass."
"No! It's nothing like that!"
"I'm just kidding, my DJ," She looked down at the box once more, before slowly removing the top, gasping at what was inside. "Suji, how in the hell did you get these?!"
"I had Tyron help me," he told her, smiling brightly. "I remember you said you had glass animals when you were a kid, but you lost them, so I decided to get you these!"
Inside the box were animals carved out of moonstone. Two rabbits holding each others paw, a mink, a crow with its wings spread out, an owl on a branch, a penguin with a fish in its mouth, an elephant, a fox, a mole, and a dragon wrapped around a ball. She gently picked up the mole, a small smile spreading across her face.
"Suji, this is..." She was at a loss for words. They were so beautiful, glistening in the moon's light. "God, I feel horrible for treating you so badly now!"
"Do not worry!" he chuckled, wrapping his arms around her. "It is okay! I understand you weren't in the best of moods!"
She smiled, wrapping an arm around him in return. He pulled back to smile at her, his dark blue eyes locking with her hazel ones.
"Merry Christmas, Rabbit," he whispered, pecking her lips. A blush spread across her face, though she smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Suji," she replied. He grabbed her free hand, lacing their fingers together.
"Want to put the box down and play in the snow?"
"Oh, hell yes!"
