Hollywood Couple- Dayplayer


Usui sighed as he flipped an omelet. Misaki was mad at him for some reason and he could not find out why. It was frustrating. Her period…? He asked himself. No, that was last week. Cravings and everything. Did I do something…? He had to think long and hard about this one. No, not that I recall… He sighed again. I'll just con- THUD! Usui's thoughts cut off at the noise coming from the room next to him. Knowing no one was supposed to be there, he shut off the stove and put the finished omelet on a plate. He took off the pink frilly apron he wore-just to annoy Misaki- and laid it on the counter as he crept towards the storage unit's , he leaned his back against the wall and peered around the door into the room. His quick eyes caught the source of the noise and he had to stop himself from laughing.

Misaki stood on a stool that was placed on top of a box, on her tip-toes, trying to reach another box labeled "Dishes" in flowery print. She had already knocked over a box labeled "napkins" in more flowery print. The box under the stool was about to collapse with the unstable weight and Usui stepped behind Misaki in just enough time to catch her fall.

Sensing the stool collapse in the back, Misaki knew her balance would be thrown off and she would fall backwards, and as if it would help with the pain, she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact. However, after waiting for about a minute for the pain she sensed a body holding her up on her heels. Hurriedly, she opened her eyes and spun on a heel to face her savior.

And dead-panned. "Baka Usui! What are you doing here!" she yelled, hoping her blush would be mistaken for anger.

Usui gave one of his nonchalant looks at Misaki before shrugging. "You're making quite a bit of a ruckus over here, I was just curious as to what was going on." He replied. Misaki glared.

"Well now you know, so go back to cooking the customers' food." She said. She marched back over to the stool and lifted it out of the box. She set it on the ground and even without the extra height of the box, began reaching for the dishes box.

Usui sighed and stepped over to her. Seeing it as the only way to get her off the stool, he huskily whispered in her ear. "Misaki-chan… when you do that, you make yourself seem like a true maid. Can I take you home, hm?" and to add to her embarrassment, he nipped at the lobe of said ear.

Misaki practically launched herself off of the stool, yelling curses at Usui until she saw him calmly climb the one-step stool and grab the dishes box. He held it under one arm before exiting the room whistling all the while. Misaki, still in shocked anger, could only sputter out incoherent nonsense.

When Usui returned without the box to the storage room he was met by an angry maid. "Why'd you do that?" she grumbled. Usui leaned back against the door, closing it. With a small click the door was locked. Without answering her question, he stalked forward. For every step he took toward her, she took one back, a certain unafraid fear in her eyes. "U-Usui…" she said in a small voice. Her back hit the wall and Usui trapped her between his arms. His forehead came to rest atop her head, forcing her to tilt her head up to be able to look him in the eye.

"You're so cute…" he said, his eyes sincere. He toyed with a lock of her hair, a glaze settling over his eyes as he ran his other hand down her arm.

"H-how do you mean that?" Misaki asked, face flushed. The question gave Usui so many ideas, but he chose to tease her for now.

He lifted his head off hers and smiled a big cheesy, superior smile. "Cuz, you're so short! I easily have the leverage I need to do all sorts of things to Misaki-chan!" he gave her body a quick once over. "Yeah, I'd prefer it if you were in your maid outfit too!" With a lecherous grin, he began walking away; whistling again, while Misaki stood, still red, frozen on the spot.

"You…PERVERTED SPACE ALIEN!!!!"

Usui grinned.
