MORE SHUFFLE CHALLENGE! >:D
Trophy Eyes - You Me At Six
I stared down at my phone, wondering whether or not to carry on with my plan. It wasn't something I did often, considering how quickly I normally acted.
Now if only I could demonstrate that... I slowly reached my hand out to my phone, but pulled it back when I was close to touching it.
"Dammit," I muttered, silently scolding myself for being such a coward.
Alright.
Three.
Two.
One.
I picked up the phone, and dialled the number I had seen so many times, before I could stop myself.
The usual dull tone filled my ear, almost making me pull the phone away from my face. It rang only a few times, before somebody answered.
Both of us stayed silent for a few seconds.
I took a deep yet silent breath.
"Lawliet."
He didn't answer immediately, instead letting the tension hang in the air.
"Rina."
It wasn't a question, it was a statement. He knew it was me, since I was the only one that knew his real name, and he was the only one who knew mine.
"For a second there, I thought you weren't going to answer," I said, relief clear in my voice.
I could almost hear him smile. "For a second there, I thought you were Kira."
"It's been a while."
"It has."
"I assume you're still in Japan? The Kantō region?"
"You assume correctly."
"Ah, good. I can see you." The black scruffy head of hair turned around slightly, no doubt looking for me. "What are you doing in a coffee shop?"
"The same thing you are," he answered simply.
"I always knew you were eccentric, but looking for yourself in a coffee shop will get you nowhere."
He chuckled. "Still the same girl I used to know."
"Arigatō gozaimasu," I said to a waitress, who had taken my empty coffee cup away.
"R, your Japanese is rusty. Was that a thank you? Sounded a little like a dying cat."
"I'll have you know my Japanese is perfectly fine," I grinned. "Kon-ban sushi-o tabemasu ka?"
Even from this far away I could still see his smile. "Yes, I'd love to have dinner with you later. But I'll substitute that sushi for cake."
Say You'll Haunt Me - Stone Sour
"Matt, give up," Mello said coldly. "I was being nice about it before, but now it's gone too far and I can't fucking deal with you any more."
Matt cringed under Mello's scolding gaze. "I didn't-"
