Ryuk held held two scarlet apples in his hands.
He had kept them ever since Payne confirmed that they would meet today.
He'd always seen apples like an oracle or shrine to him.
Today,he had a blooming feeling that all of that would change.
"Ryukie!"
Ryuk surveyed his surroundings frantically at the sound of what seemed like his name.
Payne trotted up the same mountain of skulls that they met on yesterday,giggling all the way.
A loose cow skull in the cluster of remains collapsed under her weight.
She slipped down the heap of corpses.
Oh,great! I'm going to look like a fool in front of the only guy I've ever liked!
She expected to feel the rush of scratches from the skulls as she fell down the mountainous structure.
Except...
That feeling never came.
She opened her eyes,fearing what she thought what she'd see.
Ryuk held her tightly in his long arms.
The heel of his shoe was hooked in the eye socket of a large skull of some unknown animal.
He opened his eyes to see Payne's sweet gase directly at him.
Both of their cheeks grew bright red.
Ryuk brought themselves up to a flat surface on a monstrous skull that had more than enough room for both of them.
Payne was still speechless at what just happened.
"Ummm....You..fell,"Ryuk mumbled as he struggled to come up for an excuse of his
abnormal behavior.
He sratched the back of his head as he efforted to excape Payne's eyes.
Before he knew anything,he was in her arms,locked in a tight bear hug.
A moment later,he answered by hugging her back sentimentally.
"Ryuk,I think I may be falling in love with you..."
"Oh,yeah?We just met yesterday and I don't want this to end."
