Run Away Chapters Part 10 "Jealousy"
I walked in,just coming back from the dance. "I'm back!" Esho said cheerfully. Not hearing a sound from Ryuuzaki,
only typing. Maybe he didn't hear her over the typing? "Ryuuzaki?" Esho asked tilting her head.
Before she could call again,he answered quickly.
"I hear you." He said bluntly,not taking his eyes off the screen. His typing seemed to gotten faster. Esho blinked once,she tilted her head then shaking it. She sat down beside him,but he got up immediately leaving his chair spinning as he walked away into the kitchen.
"Ryuuzaki..?" She called a bit hoarsely. Esho sighed,he's being just like before don't let it get to you. Esho reminded herself. She shook her head,as she stopped the chair from spinning,she sat down in Ryuuzaki's chair,looking at what he was typing.
He found nothing on the second kira whatsoever,but he's still suspecting Light Yagami. The car crash,he didn't find out who did it.
Pouting,her eyes lit open as L walked out with a slice of strawberry shortcake. And sat a few feet away from her,still typing into the computer.
"Oh yeah! Ryuuzaki! Light said that he wanted to join the task force!"
That immediately stopped L from typing,he was staring at the screen. Then,picking up his plate he took a bite of his cake shrugging it off.
"Very well then." Esho nodded with a smile. "Alright,I'm gonna be heading to bed now. I'm tired,I'll see you later."
Still no response from Ryuuzaki. I tilted my head with a frown,and waved as I walked away.
Ls POV I laid my cake down beside me,continuing to harshly type into the computer. Closing the top,I went over to where Esho was sitting. Continuing to continue what I had finished. Pressing the keys loudly and yet firmly. The next morning,
Esho walked out as she yawned slightly. "Morning,Ryuuzaki!" She said cheerfully again. I kept quiet,still typing. Esho tilted her head as she walked towards me,leaning over my shoulder. "Whatcha got so far?" I didn't respond as I looked up to the right. "Watari?" I called. He came out with a smile. "Yes?" "Could you please bring me some strawberry shortcake?"
Eshos POV Has he finally gone to his normal self? "Hey,um..Watari?" I called out sheepishly. Watari turned around with a smile,"Would you like some as well?"
"Er..yes,please." Watari smiled with a nod and walked away. I leaned closer to L trying to watch what he was doing,but suddenly he pressed the key quite hard causing me to be taken back. "What is wrong with you..?" I whispered to him. Before he could respond,
Watari came in handing us both our cakes,nodding and walking away.
I took a bite,being amazed by it's wonderful taste. "Hey,Ryuuzaki! This is good isn't it?" Ryuuzaki just shrugged his shoulders,not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Ryuuzaki, if you have something on your mind, you know you can talk to me." I looked at him with a curious interest of what he was thinking. Ryuuzaki didnt even take one gaze at me. He just continued to type and eat his bright pink strawberry shortcake. I sighed and continued to enjoy the flavor myself. Suddenly Ryuuzaki stopped typing. I looked up from the cake to him. Still avoiding my face it seems, he finally spoke. "Actually there is something on my mind." he started.
I straighten my back and listened to what he had to say. "Can you not sit there? In that chair next to me. Watari might put some files for me there." he continued to type.
I glared at Ryuuzaki after his request. "THAT'S IT?" I yelled. Why was I getting upset anyway? I sighed, calming myself looking away from the unflinched man.
"If you dont like the idea of that, Miss Esho. Then why dont you get Light? Maybe he'll help you with youre argument." I stared at him. What does Light have to do with this situation? Was he jealous of what happened? I had to know this. I quickly stood up and and looked at him eat his cake and type. I sat my cake on the desk and gave him my most serious look.
"Are you jealous of Light, Ryuuzaki?" I asked. Ryuuzaki continued to type and eat his cake and completely ignore me. "Watari.." he called. "Can you get me those files? We must work hard to find Kira!" he said playfully it seems. Watari slightly bowed "Of course, Ryuuzaki." and he walked off for the files. I watched Watari leave and then back at the man who completely pushed me out of his life.
"Oh yeah! Ryuuzaki! Light invited us to dinner! Do you wish to come?" I asked with slight interest.
"No thank you,Miss Esho. I'll be having a better dinner here,alone." He said not removing his eyes from the screen. I gave him a stern look,as I looked down at the bright dessert in my hands as I slammed the dessert on his head,making him freeze at what he was doing.
I spreaded the creamy/smashed dessert into his hair and face. Slamming the plate down to the ground,making a loud crash,After my art project was done.
I wiped the mess off of my hands using his white t-shirt.
I gave a slight smile of aggrivation to him,and walked away.
Ryuuzaki sat there stunned. "Watari?" Watari walked in blinking a few times. "Could you please get me some towels?" Watari nodded,and walked away.
Ryuuzaki,with a few hands wiped away the mess she made. Out of curiosity,he took a bit of the creamy desert on his finger and placed it in his mouth. "...I could always lick myself clean." He said to himself.
The next day,
Esho walked out wearing a blue pair of jeans,a light green shirt with a creme' mini jacket. And her purse,beside her. Ryuuzaki,continued to work not even looking back to gaze at her. Esho outside the building growling to herself,she looked up and noticed Light waving at her. She smiled,and rushed over to him.
"Are you ready to go?" Light asked. Esho nodded. "All set!" Light nodded and walked ahead,along with Esho at her side.
It was nice to be around someone friendly,at least he wasn't as arrogant as Ryuuzaki..
Okay he's arrogant,but not as bad as Ryuuzaki was. Get him out of your head Esho!
Esho randomly shook her head. "Damn it!" She mumbled to herself.
Light tilted his head. "Are you alright?" He said asking Esho worriedly.
Esho mumbled again. "I'll tell you when we get there."
Light blinked a few times,and nodded. He didn't mind walking in silence.
As time passed..
Esho was in the store,taking a fork and stabbing her cake imagining it was Ryuuzaki.
Light stopped drinking his coffee,glancing at her,It was kind of hard to drink coffee peacefully while someone repeatedly stabbing their cake.
"Kira the cake killer,that'd be something interesting for the headlines."
"Ugh!" Esho exclaimed putting down her fork. "How do you take it? I feel like I wanna kill him!"
"Now you know how I feel.." Light mumbled. "What exactly happened?" He asked.
Esho looked around,seeing no-one was really paying attention to them. She looked at Light,gesturing him to come closer.
Light,following her gesture. He whispered,"What happened?"
"Ryuuzaki had cameras in the resturant. He must have seen what happened..the other night." Esho's face turned a light pink.
"And now,he's being completely arrogant and won't talk to me!"
Light leaned back,"I see.." He said placing his arm underneath his chin. "Did you say he could tell you anything?" "I did!" Esho exclaimed a little.
"And..?"
"He didn't tell me anything."
Light sighed. "Jeez.." "Ryuuzaki is so hopeless." Light and Esho said in unison. Esho took a big sigh. This was gonna be long...
Ryuuzaki's POV I continued to type,eat my bright pink strawberry shortcake,Did I mention it is my favorite? My eyes,not moving from the computer screen. "Alright,Ryuuzaki. You've been acting weird lately. What's bothering you?"
My pace at typing slowly deceased,I placed my arms to myself. The same position from that night before. "That night..when Esho and Light were dancing.." I gripped tightly onto my jeans. Watari looked at me as if he understood.
"And what do you feel..?" "Alot of rage,Watari. Rage,anger,sadness. These are mixed emotions I cannot seem to place a finger on." Watari chuckled instinctively making me look toward him.
"What you feel..is..." I tilted my head,at his way of explaining. "It's..an awkward feeling." 'Awkward'? Was that the word? Watari sighed,as he got up and walked away.
I added my thumb to my mouth,watching him walk away. Watari turned around looking like he just figured something out. "Ryuuzaki!"
"Yes?" I said gazing at him. "I think you should tell her,how you feel. It may help." And with that,Watari walked away. I glanced down,lost in thought. Perhaps,coming out and saying it would help.
Esho walked in the door with a smile on her face,but before she could make it to her room. I was blocking her,"Esho.." He started.
Esho raised a brow,crossing her arms along with her smile fading.
"...I think I have awkward feelings for you." I finally came out and said it. Esho stared at me as if I was a lunatic from outer space.
"...I think you've already made this conversation awkward." Esho shoved me out of the way,making her way for her room.
Perhaps..that didn't go as well as I planned.
