Moth: Oh hai there... ^_^ It's me, Moth! So two of my readers requested that I turn my Namikawa one-shot, into a story. So, here is chapter two! I'm terribly sorry it's so short. I'll make the rest longer, but for now, this one is the shortest! I love Namikawa. So enjoy this story!
Mello: Hey...disclaimer time...
Moth: Mello, what are you doing here?
Mello: *gives Moth chocolate* She only owns Chiaki, Arika, and any other OC's that appear in the story! She also does NOT own Death Note.
Moth: Thanks Mello

The temperature in my apartment was chilly. Pepper was snuggled in my bed, the way I had left it yesterday morning. My phone was flashing, so I pressed it and listened to my messages. My sister called asking if her husband and she could take me out to dinner, tomorrow, and my friend Arika called.

"Pepper!" I said in a sweet baby voice walking into my bedroom. He purred as I touched his soft fur. I smiled down at him. "Want some food? Hmm?" I picked him up and brought him into the kitchen. I set him down and got out a can of cat food. "Here you go sweetie, you must be hungry."

Brrrrrrr! Brrrrr! Brrrrr!

"Hello?" I grabbed my phone and played with Pep's tail.

"Chiaki, how did everything go?" it was Arika, bubbly as ever. "You've gotta tell me everything! Was it as bad as you thought?" I sat down on my couch and wrapped my blanket around me. I could tell that she wasn't going to let up unless I told her.

"Arika, it was fine. Nothing too unexpected happened…during dinner." I got a tiny smirk across my face and heard her squeal.

"Oh my gosh! You have to tell me everything!" I chuckled and looked over to see Pepper still eating.

"Do you really want me to bore you with what we did? A good girl never kisses and tells."

"Chiaki, now you have to tell me! I sense someone got a little more than a kiss…do I detect right? Did he drive you home?" I looked out the window and sighed lightly.

"No, he was already gone by the time I woke up. He left me note though, and he promised to get together again. Arika, it was wonderful last night. I don't think I've seen myself in that light in a long time. Girl, that boy name me experience passion like no other." The two of us laughed and I saw Pep jump down and come over. "You want to know what else he said?"

"Hell yes! Tell me everything." She anticipated probably that he asked me to be his girlfriend, which he did, but he didn't come out and say it. Last night was a night that I will never forget and I hope he doesn't either.

"He said, "I searched my pocket for the note. I found it and opened it and read the last part to her. "I've got an extra room in my house, perhaps you and Pepper might like to join me, for more than just a week, or a month. I'll see you soon my darling buttercup, I'll see you soon. I love you. R. Namikawa. Isn't that adorable?" She didn't say anything for a few seconds, and then she squealed even louder than the last.

"CHIAKI WATANABE! Do you understand what that means?" she asked like a crazy person.

"Uh…sorta?" I laughed a little unsure.

"He wants you to go and stay with him, like move in with him! I think that it was so sweet and adorable that he included Pep. Are you guys going to go on another date? I mean could you even call that a date, it was more like…I don't know. I'm at a loss for words for once."

"Arika of course. I'll let him contact me first, I don't want to seem desperate. I've got to call my sister, and while I was on my way home, I got a call from Takada. She wants you, me, Misa, and Hal to meet up. Apparently I've had my head so far up works ass I've neglected all my friends. So I've got that to do, and I've gotta head in early tomorrow to the preschool."

"Well, I'll be over tomorrow. You want me to pick you up?" Arika asked.

"Sure, whatever is cool. I can walk home if it gets to be a nuisance."

Beep. Beep.

"Oh! Guess who's calling?" I smirked.

"Reiji! Call me back whenever you're done talking. Good luck!" I chuckled.

"Call you in a bit." I hung up on her and answered Namikawa's. "Yes, this is Chiaki Watanabe, how may I help you?" I asked chuckling.

"Hey buttercup, how is everything? Did you get my note?" He asked.

"Yeah, I did. I thought that, that it was really sweet that you included my cat. Pepper loved the little invite." I said laying down and looking at the ceiling.

"I'm glad. I was totally serious you know. Being the director of one of the most prominent business companies here in Japan is really energy draining." I laughed lightly and thought. Is he going be able to spend more time with me, or will there be a date here and there? "Hey," his voice broke my thoughts. "I'm not doing anything Thursday night. I can come over and spend some time at your place. Take you out to dinner, how does that sound?"

"Are there just going to be dates every now and then, or are we gonna make this an almost regular basis? I don't want to just talk with you, talk with you, be with you, and then all of a sudden you are M.I.A. I miss you so much. Getting to have last night, oh my gosh, I'd pay a billion bucks to have last night again. Please don't say yes and then change on me. I wish…I wish things could go back to the way everything used to be." I said listening to silence. Pepper meowed and purred as I scratched his tummy.

"I thought the same thing Chiaki. Last night, last night was, I can't even find any words for what I felt last night. I don't wanna sound corny, but I guess I will. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I'll make a reservation at Cherry Blossom, and we can chat more. To answer your question, I can't make any set in stone promises, but I can work my ass to try and devote as much time of mine to you." A smile came across my face and happiness swept over me.

"You promise?" I asked.

"100% promise."

"Hey Namikawa….get going!" I heard a guy in the background, and that happiness left me.

"I'm sorry baby girl, but I have to go for right now. Would you like a good night call tonight?" he asked.

"That would be lovely. So, Cherry Blossom, this thursday? What time are you thinking?" I asked.

"7:30? That seems sexy, doesn't it?" we both chuckled at his words and I smiled to myself.

"7:30 sounds great. I'll talk to you later Reiji." I said.

"Talk to you later Chiaki." We hung up and I looked around at my empty apartment. Maybe he was too shy to say 'I love you' again, but then why say it while we were snuggling? He was in a little bit of a hurry, eh I can't think too much into it, or else I'll drive myself crazy. I decided to call my sister, oh boy this was going to be fun.
