Half way there, alright! And yes, I have been away from this for WAAAAY too long for it to be acceptable. I've been lacking motivation and inspiration, and losing myself in other projects and in this thing we call life. Anyhoo, I hope this meets the standards of the previous chapters. If not, then I hang my head at the mercy of your persecution . . . . actually, I'd like to keep my head, so a review notifying me of my wrongs should do the trick just as well!
Enjoy!
Fluid:
Graceful and fluid were terms often associated with Yoshino when he was stuck in an artistic trance – it was during those times that Hatori wished to take him aside and hold him the most, though he regretfully knew that it was a rare occurrence for his slacker of an author to be this dedicated with his work.
Standard:
It was standard courtesy to acknowledge your superiors whenever you happened to run into them; Onodera, however, was convinced beyond a doubt that being the neighbour of your superior was acknowledgement enough, and therefore had no further obligation to wait for Takano as he high-tailed it to the elevator.
Upper:
Yokozawa knew that he must have gotten some of the cream from his coffee on his face, because when Kirishima came to kiss him good-morning, he trailed his tongue seductively along Yiokozawa's upper lip.
Shelter:
Yukina had never been in favour of thunderstorms, so he was relieved when Kisa's reaction was a simple rolling of the eyes as he made his way under the covers to join Yukina in his make-shift shelter.
Comic:
Yokozawa was not a man to offer comfort or comic relief, so when Kirishima came to him at the end of his stressful day, Yokozawa simply flipped to the next page of his newspaper.
Cartoon:
Like a rigid cartoon, they swayed to the rhythm of their discourse, actions haughty with intent and desire as Onodera tried to weave himself out from between Takano and the doorframe.
Noise:
It was the strangest noise which had drawn Kisa's attention to the supply closet – he regret letting his curiosity get the better of him, because now whenever he saw Yokozawa, he couldn't help but think back to that candid moment of seeing him engaged in non-professional activities with Kirishima.
Exception:
Common sense would indicate that if one wishes to avoid sexual exploitation, one would simply report unwanted sexual advances to higher authorities; Onodera, being a unique exception to that claim on account of his endless denial, deals with such situations by instead willingly enrolling himself in Takano's playful ruse.
Acquisition:
The modern approach towards the acquisition of love is not marred in the least, argues Yukina in his philosophy term paper, and I can vouch for such a statement with utmost vigour via first person experience, as I have acquired my Kisa-san through the most virtuous of love stories – Kisa just couldn't read anymore, he felt sick to his stomach as he looked up to Yukina's expectant face.
Alignment:
"You know, Chiaki, if the stars were to explode and arrange the universe with a different alignment, you might end up with me instead of that bastard Hatori," said Yanase as he finished off yet another bottle of beer.
