Shun sat in his corner of the café, following Alice with his gaze. He didn't like the way all the customers' eyes were trained on Alice and her only.

"Hey there, did it hurt?"

"Hurt?" Alice cocked her head at the boy who had spoken to her.

"When you fell from Heaven?"

"Uhh… huh…" She mumbled and quickly shuffled away. Though she tried to get away from him, the boy continued to follow her, a wide grin on his face.

"Do you mind if I check your tag?" He asked, sitting on a high stool as she worked in the bar.

"What for?"

"To see if you were made in Heaven."

Shun's hand clenched into a tight fist.

"Umm… no offense, but could you please leave me alone?"

Alice turned to leave, but the boy grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving.

With his sharp ninja skills, Shun was by Alice's side in a matter of seconds. "Hey, back off."

"What's this? Are you her boyfriend or something?"

Shun glared at him with fierce amber eyes, a low growl sounding from his throat. As soon as he saw that he was serious, he cringed and backed away to his seat.

Shun took Alice around into the kitchen, away from the prying eyes of customers. Once they were alone, Alice leaned into his chest and sighed deeply.

"Thanks a lot, Shun," she murmured.

His arms wrapped around her waist, swaying her gently to the silence as he held her tightly. "No problem, but Alice I… I don't like the way all those boys are always staring at you."

"I know, but I like working here."

"I guess it's not your fault that you're so beautiful," he chuckled, twirling a strand of her hair around his finger. "Just… be careful around them."

"I will."

She gave him one last hug before loosening herself from his grasp and headed back to the café.

"Don't get lost, okay?" He called out to her as she left.

"Lost?" She peered at him with curiosity.

"Heaven is a long way from here, you know." He winked at her and beamed.

She giggled, and smiled at him.

"Now you're just playing with me."

Heh, jealous Shun was lots of fun to write :D

If you're interested, here's some more pickup lines involving Heaven that I was found while writing this chapter:

* * *

"Somebody better call God, because he's missing an angel."

"What time do you have to be back in heaven?"

"I think I can die happy now, because I've just seen a piece of heaven."

I for Ill is next. See you soon!
