Chapter 6: Birthday Kiss- Shizuo Fluff moment 3
So… much marching… in… pain… ARGH!
Well here's the next chapter… please enjoy while I spin around in my chair while laughing like a madman!
"Well guys, this is my friend Gert!" I told them as I pointed to a new friend of mine.
Said girl waved in a very quick motion, "Hi guys!" she said with a lisp.
Gert smiled, showing off her blue braces, and tucked a part of her bright red hair behind her ear. I turned to see the reaction from the others, only to see them acting the same. I sighed, wait until they actually get to know her. "Come on Gert," I grabbed her hand and brought her over to where she was standing in front of Shinra, "This is Shinra Kishitani." I pointed at the bespectacled boy, who was waving.
"Nice to meet you! Oh look! Glasses buddies!" she laughed.
As you can see.. Gert's just too odd to explain…
I then lead her over to Izaya, "This is Izaya Orihara," I explained while Gert looked him up and down.
"You're pretty short, but hot at the same time." she said coolly.
I didn't give Izaya anytime to say anything before I dragged Gert over to Dotachin, "This is Kyohei Kadota, or Dotachin." I felt like a broken record.
"Hi!" she said while waving, "Hm… you don't look as hot as the shorty, but you're a lot hotter than my glasses buddy!"
Kadota just kind of… inched away from her after that. "Thank you…?"
"And this is Shizuo Heiwa-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as Gert let loose a high pitched squeal, "You're like… smokin' hot!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.
I saw an embarrassed look immediately place itself on Shizuo's face, yet Gert took no noticed and decided she just had to say her next sentence out loud, "Can I have your babies?" she asked as if she said that everyday.
Okay now even I'm weirded out…
Me too…
"No…" Shizuo finally managed to stammer out, a look of pure embarrassment, and a little creeped out, on his face.
Gert 'Teehee-ed' before grabbing me, pulling me about twenty feet away from the others, "Hey Natsuyo, can you make it so that I can sit next to that smoking guy when we leave for that road trip in two weeks?" she whispered in my ear.
"Sure, I'm sure I'll be able to do that." I smiled back.
My red haired friend practically jumped five feet into the air out of pure enjoyment, "YES!" she screamed.
I looked over to see the guys giving her a odd look, I wonder why? I decided to distract Gert for as long as possible, so Shizuo could get home without her stalking him. Izaya was practically dying from laughter, taking care not let anyone see his still healing wrist, as tears from laughing too hard formed at the corner of his eyes.
"Coming Natsuyo-chan?" asked Shinra, about to head home.
"Wait! I'm coming! Bye you guys!" I yelled over my shoulder before running off to the ever-happy brunette.
~!~!~!~!
"That girl-"
"Gert."
"-seems… odd…"
I nodded, "Yeah… but she's pretty cool once you get to know her!"
Shinra gave me a doubtful look before he looked toward a sweets shop, "Should probably get Shizuo something for his birthday." he mumbled under his breath.
Wait what? "Wait what?" I thought aloud.
"Oh you didn't know? Today is Shizuo's birthday." he said matter-of-factly.
I stared blankly before shouting, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"
"I thought you knew…" he mumbled, probably a little shocked by my outburst.
"QUICK! TAKE ME HOME, I NEED TO BAKE A CAKE!"
"You could just buy one-"
"IT'S NOT THE SAME!" I said with a fiery look in my eyes that looked like it scared Shinra shitless.
"Okay." he squeaked before hurriedly leading me home.
~!~!~!~!
"Done!" I said, happy with how the chocolate cake turned out, "What do you think?" I said to Shinra, who looked a little tired.
"I think he'll like it!" wow, immediate bounce back.
"Come on! Lets give it to him!" I yelled before speeding out the door, Shinra in tow.
~!~!~!
"This is it. I would go with you, but I have to get home to eat my lovely Celty's cooking!" he cooed before waving goodbye.
Wow… talk about obsessed.
I know right?
I reluctantly walked up to the door, my knuckles poised to knock on it. Why can't I knock on the stupid door? Am I that nervous? Why would I be nervous? All these questions swam through my head, and before I knew it, I had already knocked on the door. A young boy with brown hair and brown eyes opened the door, a stoic look on his face. "Um… H-Hello?" I cursed the fact that I stuttered.
"Yes?" he said, not one thing about his expression changed.
"I-Is Sh-Shizuo h-h-here?" I stammered, words mixing together.
You are oh so smooth.
The young boy just stared before turning around, "Aniki, someone is here to see you." he turned his attention back to me, "Come in." was all he said before just walking away.
I'm so scared right now... "O-Okay." I stuttered before walking inside, trying not to be so scared of someone so small.
I heard descending footsteps come from the stairs to my right. "Who the hell- oh Natsuyo." said a teen with very familiar messy blond hair.
"Uh… happy birthday!" I said, still feeling that intense gaze from the kid behind me.
"Huh? How did you… wait who told you?"
"Shinra." I said almost immediately.
"That little…" he sighed, looking back at me, smiling, "Thanks Natsuyo."
That smile. It was the same smile that made my heart stop. The same that made me blush a deep red. The same smile that made any words stop in throat. The smile that I loved to see, one that I couldn't take my eyes off of.
Biting my lip, I brought myself back to reality. "Anytime!" came the perky voice I always used from my mouth.
Do you think they know about your dark side? Because I would just love to meet them.
Ignoring my inner I quickly had to get myself to stop blushing. The only thing I could think of was going to the bathroom and washing my face, "Shizuo?"
Said blond glanced from his brother to me, "Yes?"
"Where's the restroom?" I said, mentally face palming myself.
"Up the stairs and the fifth door to your left." he said indifferently.
I quickly sped up the stairs, not really listening to what he said.
~!~!~!
"Brother, you like her." said Kasuka very bluntly.
"Wh-What?" surprise shone in mocha colored eyes as a faint blush crept onto the blond teens cheeks.
"You do." short and straight to the point, what else would he suspect from his little brother?
"I do not."
Kasuka shook his head. Sometimes his older brother was just too stubborn sometimes. He lean forward in his chair, one arm on the table, "Then tell me this; in five minutes you won't go up the stairs to see if she got lost." he knew that the girl- Natsuyo- always got lost no matter where she was.
"She won't get lost." a seed of doubt grew in the pit of Shizuo's stomach.
'Fuck' he thought, there's no way in hell that she won't get lost.'
Kasuka stared.
And stared.
And stared.
Finally fed up with the fact that he knew his little brother was right, Shizuo grudgingly got out of his chair, mumbling something under his breath. As the blond retreated to go see where Natsuyo went off to, Kasuka smiled, he knew his brother would look for her; whether Kasuka was here or not.
"Where the hell did she get off to?" growled Shizuo as he ascended the stairs.
Deciding to just go to where she asked to go he turned down one hall- and ran right into someone. He looked down to see Natsuyo on the ground, her brown hair slightly ruffled from the fall. "Are you alright?" he leaned down to help her up.
Natsuyo looked at him, her radiant green eyes covered by a few strands of brown locks. "I always end up getting lost! Dammit!" she yelled.
"Well whaddya know? Even the gentle Natsuyo cusses." he smiled.
She gave him a look that said 'Shut up' before getting up off the floor. Her slender hands straightened out her shirt, along with fixing her skirt. "I hate getting lost." she complained.
"Well then how about this? From now on, where you get lost, you can always call me for help. I'll be there whether I'm busy or not." the words exploded out of his mouth.
Natsuyo smiled, and Shizuo felt butterflies in his stomach. He also noticed a faint blush on her cheeks, making her look even cuter.
Before he knew what he was doing he thought about kissing her, about tasting her soft pink lips. The blond started inching closer to her, stopping when he realized what he was doing. "Come on, lets go eat some cake." he said quickly.
~!~!~!
"Wait here." Natsuyo commanded when they got back to the kitchen.
"Alright." he replied, sitting down in a chair.
Shizuo sighed in relief, glad that Kasuka wasn't there to make both of them nervous, and the fact he didn't want him to tell Natsuyo about the conversation they had earlier. The blond flicked his gaze toward the door when light footsteps signaled Natsuyo's return. She came back, with a aquamarine blue and black scarf in her hands. She held it out to him, "This is yours!" she chirped.
"T-Thanks." he mentally berated himself for stuttering.
And at just that moment his whole family walked in. His mom giggled, "Why hello! You must be Natsuyo!" she gave the younger girl a quick one arm hug.
"P-Pleased to meet you!" said the young brunette.
"We've heard a lot about you, and I must say, you are very cute! Just as Shizu-chan says!"
Shizuo immediately felt like disappearing.
"Well nothing's a birthday without a birthday song!" sang Shizuo's mom.
"Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Shizu-chan
Happy birthday to you!" they all sang in unison.
Feeling his face burn, the birthday boy decided to just look at the ground. "Oh lets eat!" his moms high pitched voice rang out.
~!~!~!~!
"It's pretty late… Natsuyo-chan!" said the blond teens mother, "You should stay the night."
The green eyed girls face got so red it was blazing crimson, "W-W-Well wouldn't-t th-th-that be m-m-m-ean?" the girl stammered, her voice barely audible.
"Oh, but I insist! It is really too late for a young, cute girl to go wandering these streets at night!" both parents said at the same time.
"B-But… o-o-o-kay…" she managed to say, before Shizuo's mother cut her off yet again, "Show her to her room Shizu-chan!"
Shizuo practically ran from the room, loathing every second he spent with his parents around Natsuyo. He grabbed her by the wrist, dragging her up the stairs. "Sorry about that…" he mumbled.
"Oh it's fine!" her angelic smile showing its face again, making the others heart flutter, "They seem nice."
"Yeah.. Nice…" he grunted in reply before stopping front of the guest room, "Thanks for coming…"
"Oh I loved it! As long as you're happy it was great!" she smiled.
That damn smile. That same damn smile that led his body to do the unthinkable.
He kissed her.
It was quick, as he realized what he was doing a few seconds after their lips touched. His eyes widened before he stepped back, both of their faces crimson red. "N-Night." he said before briskly walking to his room.
~!~!~!~!
I can't believe that happened. I brought a finger to my lips, still feeling the sensation that I got from that kiss. The thought, 'He has really soft lips.' ran through my mind before I shook my head.
Hey genius… we can't move.
Oh crap, my legs felt like jello, my heart was doing a dance while flipping, and fluttering all at the same time. "Natsuyo-san?" I heard a stoic voice come from my right.
"K-Kasuka…?"
"Yes?"
"… never mind…" I said before running into the quest room, while my heart rapidly beat in my chest.
YES! I LOVED THE KISS! I STILL HOPE MY BASHFULNESS DIDN'T RUIN THIS CHAPTER!
Originally this chapter was supposed to be longer, but my computer was officially pissing me off. It kept FREEZING! DX I GOT SO PEEVED AT IT!
Oh yes… and Gert is Shizu-chan's personal stalker :D
