Just a one-shot I did a while back... kind of cute but not fluff. Read and enjoy!
Naru lifts his head and catches me staring. 'Oh crap!' I quickly turn and pretend that I'm immensely fascinated by a book called... Sexy ghost stories... "Yargh!" I thrust it back onto the book shelf and turn to where Lin is choosing his third book from the store.
I was kind of proud to be honest; it had been me who found this specialist shop in the next town, even if it had been because I'd missed my train stop this one time and wandered around for about two hours wondering why the place looked unfamiliar... Naru doesn't need to know that.
Naru walks over to me and reaches out, making me freeze. 'What is he doing?' but then he picks out a book from right next to me and walks away without even glancing in my direction... Well what do I expect? I should know him well enough by now... The man's a complete iceberg.
So I find a couple of interesting looking books and hand them to Lin to pay for, the shopkeeper gave me a weird look as I smile at him. Maybe he thinks I'm some kind of freak... What the hell? He's the one who sells books on stuff like... Spells to protect a loved one from evil spirits... Yeah, sure, while I'm at it why don't I do something more generically useful like exorcise the damned thing?
Crap, now I'm even thinking the same way as Naru would; I've been spending way too much time with him... well what am I meant to do? I see him every day at work, even if he doesn't talk that much in work hours.
So why am I thinking like him?
As we leave the shop with about two bags full of new books on our favourite topic, I catch Naru smiling at me and I smile back with more enthusiasm. "Good job finding that shop Mai." He says simply. That's as much as I get from him for now; he's not exactly forthcoming in public.
That's it; I've been spending too much social time with him; when we're alone together he talks more, he shares his thoughts and I share mine, we discuss things and the damned guy is really good at debates... Obviously talking to my boyfriend is taking a serious toll on my sanity.
Oh my god... I'm turning into Naru.
I love Mai! But R&R with opinions... I know it's short... short but sweet?
