All I wana say is:
Thanks guys! I'm so glad that there are people who like this (quite belligerent) couple~~~
It had taken only one glance.
Riruka didn't like these sorts of shops. They were Yukio's obsession and no way was she going to a place which that guy liked. Nuh-uh. It was like living without cute things. Impossible.
But still, something had caught her eye and made her enter that shop. Maybe it was her radar for awesome things, maybe she just wanted to see what Yukio liked, maybe she was bored, maybe he really was rubbing off on her…
She can find thousands of excuses, simply because going there was simply worth defying her unbreakable rules.
So.
Riruka Dokugamine had taken a step into a shop for video games. And instantly, her heart had been stolen.
Selfish hands had reached for the object of her newfound affections, same selfish hands had paid the price for the same object, and the same hands had grasped it all too tightly on the way home.
The girl sang some tuneless melody back from her childhood.
She was in love.
…
"Ehhh?"
That was the only word that could come out from Jackie's mouth.
She was used to her friend's weird tendencies; she knew not to keep pretty things to herself, like lockets or some of the presents Ginjo gave her from time to time because if Riruka found them later, everything went wrong and a whole mess was created.
In fact, she was so used to them, that she expected other people to act like that as well. But they never did. Fortunately.
But this.
This exceeded even Riruka's boundaries.
The thing that was currently being pushed in her face (so she can see it better; pff, did Riruka think that everyone suffered from myopia like her?) looked like a thing that'd belong more to Yukio, rather than Riruka. It looked like a DVD cover and on the cover there was a man, clad in white clothes, holding a knife.
"Isn't he awesome!"
Ohh, so that's why she'd liked it. The man. The handsome man. Handsome men always stole Riruka's attention (the latest case being, of course, that Ichigo boy).
Slowly, Jackie nodded only because she didn't want to face the other girl's wrath.
"Yeah, sure, if you say so."
"Ohh, I knew it, Jackie," the answer was more fangirling, "I knew it that you were gona agree with me."
Jackie wanted Ginjo. At least he was sane. Oh, and you could have a conversation with him, not listen to the half-crazy ramblings of a mentally challenged cutie-lover.
"Hey, what's this?"
At the sound of this voice, the older and saner girl froze. Now that Yukio was in the picture… Yuko liked games. Riruka didn't like sharing. Oh, man.
"Nothing you'd want to see!"
"Oh, really? Then–"
Then everything went to shit.
…
"Seriously, are they ever going to shut up?" staring deep into her glass of something, Jackie muttered to Ginjo. There was terrific noise coming from the other room; you could tell the two were fighting and that Yukio was putting exceptional spirit there; apparently he really wanted that game.
"Not in the next few years," Ginjo replied, not even looking back at her. That made her a bit angry but the headache was too strong to glare at him.
…
Sometime, at night
Just in the middle of the fight, Yukio stopped. Riruka, still in the motion of her movement, almost fell onto him but failed: he managed to catch her on time. She almost blushed at the contact but he didn't even notice; he was too pensive to take account of anything happening around him.
"Wait a second," he started, "let me get this straight: you want to see more of this guy, right?"
That wasn't exactly true, but she nodded anway. Everything for her beloved character.
"And I want to play the game."
She nodded her agreement, wondering what the hell he was thinking. and got quite surpised when he clapped his hands together, almost jumping.
"Well, then, it's easy," he grinned, happy to have found a solution, "I found a compromise. I play the game, you sit next to me and you get the eyecandy you want. Deal?"
"Sit next to you?" she repeated, incredulous that he'd said something like this.
A shrug was the answer.
"Well, we have to do things we don't like during our lives, right?"
Then on, her answer was obvious.
…
The next morning found them sitting too close to each other, but neither of them wanted to move (too comfortable but they'd never admit). His fingers were flying on the buttons, two pairs of eyes were glued at the screen of the small hand-held game. There were bags under their eyes. It was obvious that they'd pulled an all-nighter.
Jackie glanced at them and decided they were too weird for their own good so she should leave them alone to their geek fantasies.
…
"WHAT IS THAT WOMAN TRYING TO DO?"
"I've heard that Ezio has quite a few love interests during the game," a snicker, "You have competition."
"ARGGHH!"
Yukio really wants to play that game... :D:D
