Chapter 21

Welcome back guys, holy shit 936 views that's amazing. That's like almost 1000! I'm speechless…well type-less? I don't know, forget it. I'm sorry about the long wait. My birthday was on April 3rd and I've been super busy until like right this minute. So here we go enjoy this little bit a fan service ;)

January 9th

It's late; all the task force members have either gone home or fallen asleep. Ryuzaki and I are the only ones still awake, I don't actually know where Watari is, but it's just us in the surveillance room. There's nothing really interesting on the screens …both Light and the Shinigami are asleep. The Shinigami is just kinda passed out on the floor with his long noodle limbs in every direction. Light, however, seems to be sleeping peacefully. It's interesting to think how Ryuzaki views this same scene completely different; to him it all must look pretty normal. I'm glad he took the reveal as well as he did…I'm not sure what I would have done otherwise. It sure did take a load off my shoulders.

I'm sitting on the couch with my legs under me and I'm leaning against the armrest with my head in my hand. Ryuzaki is next to me sitting in his normal position. In front of us, the coffee table is littered with candy wrappers. I yawn and shift slightly as my foot begins to fall asleep.

"Y'know; if you're tired, you can fall asleep for a bit." I roll my tired eyes over to Ryuzaki and his eyes lock with mine. He heart beat quickens and I feel all fluttery but I'm too tired to deal with it so I ignore it.

"You mean fall asleep right here on the couch?" Ryuzaki breaks eye contact to pick up a lollipop from the table. I close my eyes and listen as he unwraps it then snuggle down into the couch and use my arm as a pillow. My eyes are only closed for a few seconds before I begin to feel awkward.

I really shouldn't fall asleep here; it's kinda rude…even though he gave me permission.

Ryuzaki is still sucking on the lollipop and in my tired state it makes me smile.

He's adorable…

Ryuzaki turns to me and as he notices that I'm not longer trying to fall asleep his face turns to concern. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't wanna fall asleep while you're working…it makes me feel like I'm being rude…" I fold my arms over myself in an attempt to preserve warmth. My eyes drift over to the table and I notice my unopened Pocky box. Watari went out today and when he came back he said that he had bought it for me because they sell this back home. He wanted to get me something that I'd be familiar with, and I admit I've seen this back home but I've never really tasted it 'till now. He also said that Pocky came in many different flavors and that he thought that out of all of them that I'd like strawberry the most. He bought me two and I already ate one, it's like having strawberry frosting on a cracker, it sounds gross but it tastes really good. I reach for the box as I see Ryuzaki frown out my peripheral.

"Suzuki, it's alright. If you'd rather go to your room and sleep then that's fine too, I don't mind. I'm normally alone when it comes to these things anyway."

I tiredly shake my head 'no' as I place a Pocky stick in my mouth. I've found that my favorite way to eat them it to just like, let them melt in my mouth. Then once the frosting is gone then I bite down the stick like a bunny…I flick my eyes to Ryuzaki because I think I spot a smile but as I draw my full attention to him it seems that I was either wrong or it's already gone. He removes his lolli and takes a sip of tea.

"Ryuzaki have you ever had one of these?" I shake the box to get his attention.

"The strawberry? No, but I have had their Chocolate and Green Tea flavor." I cringe as I remember the Green Tea ice-cream.

That's fuckin' gross…

"You wanna try one?" I extend the box to him after pulling out another one for myself.

"Of course." Ryuzaki's face lights up and he reaches over and picks up a stick with his index finger and thumb, he then places it in his mouth. "Wow this is really good!" I smile brightly and extend the box again so he can get another.

"I'm glad you like it." I retract the box and lean it against my leg, not taking another for myself. Ryuzaki holds his vertically and stares at it for a minute.

"Suzuki?"

"Yo…"

"Have you ever heard of the Pocky Game?" I look at him and think.

The Pocky Game? What the hell is that? What sort of game can you play with frosted cracker sticks? Pick-em-up sticks?

"No…never." I sigh tiredly and begin to fidget.

"Well the goal is to get to the middle and break off the bigger piece, but…" Ryuzaki places the frosted end in his mouth, "you must do so when it's in another player's mouth." My heart drops and I can't believe it.

WHAT! What is he thinking?! How can he even suggest that? Our mouths would be so close I don't think I'll be able to handle this…my heart might explode.

Ryuzaki shifts out of his sitting position and leans close to me and flicks the Pocky up and down with his teeth. It's actually kinda funny looking so I giggle.

Should I do this? Is it okay? He really seems to wanna do this…okay. I'll do it.

I smile and push off the armrest and get ready. I stare at him for a moment and he flicks the Pocky again playfully. I roll my eyes and place my mouth on the exposed cracker side. I laugh a little as Ryuzaki tries to look at me and goes cross-eyed. He inches forward and my heart begins to pound.

Oh god I don't know if I can do this…

My face heats up but I inch forward on my Pocky side too, I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack.

Oh my god I'm gonna have a heart attack…he has no idea what this is doing to me, I hope I'm not sweating too bad…

We inch forward once more and the tips of our noses touch. As he breathes I can smell the sweetness from all the candy on his breath.

I hope my breath doesn't stick…Maybe If I'm quick I can get this over with and break off the bigger piece and win…Okay here we go, on the count of 3. 1…2…3!

I move forward and am about to bite down when his lips collide with mine. I reel back in horror without severing the Pocky.

KNOCK

I touch my fingers to my lips in shock as he celebrate his victory

KNOCK

I can't believe that just happened…HE…I…Ryuzaki and I kissed!

KNOCK

I glace up and Ryuzaki is giving me a weird half smile.

KNOCK KNOCK

What up with the smile

Ryuzaki leans in toward me and sits only inches away, my eyes shift from his eyes to his mouth. I breathe in unsteadily. KNOCK KNOCK

He leans in more and pushes my hand away from my mouth. I can't breathe.

"You taste so sweet, Suzuki."

Oh my god! He's leaning closer, what do I do?!

KNOCK KNOCK

What the fuck is that sound! Ryuzaki lips are inches from mine!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

. . .

I jolt up and open my eyes. Where am I? Where is Ryuzaki?! I look around and am calmed by my hotel room. I sigh and run a hand through my hair.

"Miss Matsui! Are you awake?" I hear the voice call through the door. Oh, it's Watari.

"Yeah Watari I'm up!" I look at what I'm wearing and pull the blanket up a bit. "And decent, you can come in!" I sigh and try to control my breathing as the door creaks open and Watari sticks his head in.

"Ryuzaki told me to let you sleep, but it's now 11am and the task force will be return soon. Please get dressed and meet me in the Kitchen, I'll make you some brunch." I nod to him, but I can't believe I slept that long.

11am holy shit…wait…if I've been sleeping then all that…was just a dream…

Watari closes the door and I sit there for a minute.

Ryuzaki and I kissed…

I fling the sheets up and off me and rapidly begin to change into a new pair of jeans and a new tank top.

Why would I even dream that up?!

I pull one of my button ups from the closet and put my arms through it, leaving the buttons undone and tank exposed. I search around the room for my brush an as I find it I run it quickly through my hair.

Ryuzaki would never act that way anyway!

I sigh and rip the door open and walk out into the hall, shirt still open.

What the hell is wrong with me…I shouldn't be thinking like this…Ryuzaki is basically my boss…if he found out about it I think I'd just crawl into a hole and die…

"Oh, good morning Suzuki. Glad to see you're finally awake. You were sleeping so peacefully that I decided to let you sleep a bit longer."

My heart stops and my breath catches in my throat as I turn slowly to my left. O.o

"Are you alright? You look flush…" Ryuzaki is standing there holding a box of chocolate Pocky and one of the sticks is hanging from his mouth. Suddenly I remember to breathe and that he asked me a question, but my eyes are glued to his mouth.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, just heading to the Kitchen to see Watari…" My heart flip flops as Ryuzaki flicks the Pocky.

I need to get out of this hallway…

"Oh, alright. The Task Force will be here soon, an as for surveillance, it's been quiet. Apparently, today is garbage day at the Yagami house." He seems to smile for a split second as if it's funny but then his face grows serious and he looks down. "They just seem to perfect to me…" He turns around and walks back to the surveillance room, ignoring me.

Now that I can finally breathe I begin to fast walk toward the kitchen while button up my shirt. My mind returns to dream with almost every step.

I still can't believe that happened…that was one hell of a dream…

HAHA! Well what do you think?! Weren't expecting that were you?! I know it's not really fan service I was just testing you. Let me know what you think 'cause I really wanna pursue this. Now to my recognitions; Lol Wolfy, Suzuki's real name, Samn Crisis, is the character from my Kingdom Hearts story, this is actually the last story in her Saga and I just happen to be writing it first I guess. ^^' . And yes Ashley I see you lol if you like my stuff check out my Deviant art where I've drawn stuff for this story. Just little things like Suzuki and Ryuzaki and such. Hmm…where's Shadow…that's odd. Well I didn't get any new followers or favorites so I think that's it I guess I'll see you guys next Chapter, make sure you leave some feedback about how you felt, I really wanna know.
