Maybe I was rash to think what you'd be like.
Maybe we aren't so different after all.

~.~

A knock at his door interrupted Toshiro from polishing his guns and silencers.

It had already been a month since he had rescued Resu. Maybe he should have just ignored her that night. It was a pain in his side to see her with the same scowl on her face whenever he passed her in the hallways.

He slightly opened the door to see Resu standing here, her usual scowl missing.

"What do you want?" he coldly asked.

"I just came over to ask for some extra sugar, considering I'm out and the closest stores are closed for the holidays, anything wrong with that?"

"Fine... I guess there's no harm done in lending you some." Resu felt her the corner of her lips slightly move up, but she hid her smile as she handed him a small holder that used to hold the sugar.

"I'll be back." he grumbled, turning around and closing the door behind him. He didn't want her to see the guns he had laid out on the polished coffee table, since she could report it to the police station and he'd have to leave his cover and, as they say, begin a new life.

~.~

Resu leaned against the wall as she waited, thoughts gathering in her head.

Toshiro quickly came back with the holder almost fully filled. He opened the door and noticed Resu slightly caught up in her thoughts.

"Resu?"

Resu turned her head to the side to look at him.

"Ah, you remembered my name? That's cute," she laughed, walking over to take the holder filled with sugar from him.

"Your name's not that hard to remember."

Resu simply rolled her eyes and said, "That's what everyone says. Thanks for the sugar anyways."

"It's not a problem," he muttered, beginning to close the door.

"Ah wait, can I just quickly ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry about the first day we met, I was being a bit of a bitch back there after you made those teens run. I just wanted to ask if we could start over again, like that never happened."

He hesitated a bit before saying, "Sure, I wouldn't mind that."

"Good! Just so you know, I could drop by next week for a nice cup of tea 'Shiro." she laughed once more, beginning to walk away from him. Toshiro felt his brow slightly twitch at the pet name.

...Did she really just call me 'Shiro?
