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 four of the one-sentence challenge themes from LiveJournal. This set includes a few of my favorite themes. Let me know what you guys think, okay? The usual abuse of grammar and punctuation symbols.

#31 Book:

She hoped Ban did not notice her, sneaking glances at him from the book she was supposed to be reading.

#32 Eye:

Most people feared the Jagan; then again, just like Ginji, Natsumi wasn't quite like most people.

#33 Never:

She does not believe that Ban will never be capable of loving and falling in love, however tough and arrogant he might've acted, he was just probably a little scared to try.

#34 Sing:

Sometimes, when he thinks neither Paul nor Ginji noticed, he'd watch her out of the corner of his eye as she cooked or baked while humming a cheerful little tune.

#35 Sudden:

She wasn't exactly sure what – or how it happened; one second she was setting down his usual cup of coffee, and in the next, his lips were on hers and then… she really couldn't think anymore.

#36 Stop:

Perhaps there is something that was more invincible than him; a force that, even he, the Great Midou Ban-sama would not be able to stop in a million years… but, if only for her sake and her safety, he will just have to.

#37 Time:

It only lasted a minute – why couldn't he have given her eternity?

#38 Wash:

He'd be damned, if he admits to being a little bit jealous of Ginji flirting and teasing with Natsumi as they washed the dishes together.

#39 Torn:

While the boys took their time off at the hot spring, she gathered their clothes to mend – yet again – the broken stitches.

#40 History:

True, she really didn't know much about him – about his dark past, about his even more mysterious ancestry or lineage – but maybe, just maybe, he'd tell her about it someday.
