Glimpses brighter than Sunshine

DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, Ban Mido and Natsumi Mizuki are part of the Get Backers franchise, owned by and copyright to Rando Ayamine and Yuuya Aoki. I'm just a mere fan and lowly writer who wishes this pairing could be canon.
A/N: Round three of the one-sentence challenge themes from LiveJournal. As per usual, feedbacks are appreciated anytime!
#21 Fool:
At times she wished that this was just a phase, a simple crush that would soon ebb and disappear in time – she was a fool to think that he'd ever look at her that way.
#22 Mad:
No matter how badly the retrieval job went, no matter how utterly ridiculous his day had been and he felt down right pissed and crappy – he could never really bring himself to be totally angry at world when she's there, with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a smile.
#23 Child:
Sometimes she's just as much of a child as Ginji is.
#24 Now:
Now isn't really the time to be daydreaming of blue eyes and mysterious, knowing smiles – she has university exams to study for!
#25 Shadow:
His past was like a shadow that would continue to follow him wherever he goes; reminding him of its presence, most cruelly, in the brightest of lights.
#26 Goodbye:
She would never say that word, even if she's numb with anxiety – instead, with that perpetually cheerful smile on her face, she'd wave at them and say, "Ja, mata ne!" (2)
#27 Hide:
He would not leave his spot under that broken lamplight, his figure clothed by the darkness of the night – not until he's satisfied that she's safe inside her house.
#28 Fortune:
That brand-new table tennis paddle didn't actually cost him fortune, but for Natsumi, Ban's Christmas present was invaluable.
#29 Safe:
It gives her a sense of serenity, a sense of comfort; knowing that he'd always be there, watching over her.
#30 Ghost:
Ginji almost never usually notices these things, but that ghost of a smile that graced his best friend's lips when the cute waitress handed him his coffee, was enough to nearly make him squeal like a rabid fan girl.
