Yerk. I am sorry this is so late, but i sat down and made myself write this...
He didn't mention anything about it when she got out, but she thought she could detect a faint uneasiness in him. From the uncertain look in his eyes when he let her out of the straightjacket, as if he was afraid that whatever had moved her hair would come after him-but Rem looked at her and shook her head wryly indicating that no harm would come to Ryuzaki despite his treatment of her that week. Rem did, however, stick a post-it note on Ryuzaki's back saying 'Kick me', and Matsuda happily obliged.
"Ryuzaki," Misa sobbed. "Ryuzaki, I wanna go outside! Please!"
The rest of the task force let her (she was their pet, and after she'd disguised herself accordingly) and when she opted to hold hands with Ryuzaki instead of the handcuffs she found that she liked the soft warmth of it.
Of course, when she suggested that they go to the ice-cream shop Ryuzaki's feet picked up. There was some tension gone now that there was no way she'd be recognized as Misa Amane dressed as the way she was now...no blond wig or skimpy dress.
Ryuzaki sat down first, ordering the quintuple-chocolate-vanilla-cherry-banana-fudge sundae. And a triple-strawberry-malt shake.
"How do you never gain weight eating all those sweets?" It was a mystery to the entire task force, and Ryuzaki's mouth would always be too full to answer coherently.
He paused, thinking carefully. "I…don't eat anything else?"
"You-" Suddenly Misa's doctor self kicked in. " That's-You are so unhealthy! You need to take better care of yourself or you won't get enough c!-crap, you're going to die early!"
Oh shit. She'd almost gone off on a tangent about the chemical compounds the human body needed…
"I won't get enough crap?" He looked confused.
"Well…that's basically what you're eating."
He cocked his head to the right, desserts forgotten. "Enlighten me…?"
She huffed exasperatingly. " Well, I only eat all-natural things and I'm vegan, so it's good for the environment-" So let him think she was a health-freak. "-plus I cook all my own food so I only put natural ingredients in it. That's why I have my own cooking show." She thought for a second. "But you're going to get fat and get greasy hair and be disgusting! Also you will grow a beer belly!"
He looked at her for a moment and laughed. Ryuzaki laughed. It was something so unexpected that all Misa could do was stare at him.
Something about the way he was laughing made her intensely sad all of a sudden. It was the kind of laugh that was bereft of worry, or artifice. And even though his hygiene regime was questionable, he looked as if all he drank was coffee, and though he probably had no social life whatsoever, she realized she was jealous of him.
