User blog:Little Bundle Of Joy/Chasing Clouds With Eisuke

START

''   "Master, have a good day at work!" Mira waved with a small smile as you made your way to the tall building.''

''   You smiled back weakly, already feeling somewhat tired. "Thanks, Mira. I'll try to be back before dinner," you replied.''

"...is what I said, but," you sighed, examining the document in your hand, "I don't know if I'll be able to make it at this rate." It's been about two hours since the two of you had went separate ways for the day. You worked part time at an office that documented Daemons, filing out information. The pay was decent, so you decided to stay for a few more weeks until your financial situation got better.

"(Name), wanna take a break?" your supervisor suggested with a concerned expression. "I know office work doesn't really fit a ghost agent such as yourself."

You shook your head while chuckling. "No, no. It's alright. I need the extra money anyways." "All of the other ghost agents kept attacking me and stole half of my money while I was on a trip with Mira..."

"It's okay, it'll be a paid break," she added with a small giggle. She brought out her cellphone and glanced at a slip of paper hanging on the wall. Dialing the number, she turned to you. "Would you like some pizza?"

"Cheese would be lovely," you answered with a grin. It'd be rude to deny her offer, so what else was there to do?

"Thank you for choosing CheeseMon. Here's your order of 20 large sized cheese pizzas," the pizza delivery man said, voice monotone. He was speaking with your supervisor while you sorted out the folder you were already working on. You paused when he spoke, finding the emotionless yet somewhat snarky voice to be somewhat familiar. Glancing up, you did a double take.

"Eisuke?!" You couldn't contain the shout of surprise. Everyone in the area perked up at the sound.

The silver-haired man with a red hat adorning his head blinked at you, recognition slowly settling in.



"(Name)? What are you doing here?" Eisuke questioned with a somewhat stiff posture. "You're a ghost agent."

"This is just a part time jo- Nevermind that!" You pointed at his crimson attire with the "CheeseMon" logo prominent on the breast pocket of his sweater. "Since when did you of all people start working at a pizza joint?!"

Slowly, almost in an unsure fashion, Eisuke raised one hand while the other balanced the tall stack of pizzas. "You have me mistaken for someone else."

"...Eisuke, I can't tell if you're even trying to be funny right now."

~

You couldn't help but laugh while Eisuke twitched slightly. "L-Let me get this straight," you stuttered out, wiping a tear from your eye. "Thomas accidentally gambled away all of your fundings while in a drunken stupor? Then Barbetta spent money from your bank account to get a new jacket?"

Eisuke exhaled before narrowing his eyes at you. He was sitting beside you at the park close to the office, under the suggestion of your supervisor for taking the conversation with your 'friend' elsewhere. The wooden bench wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't the best piece of furniture either. Eisuke placed on his hat, which was previously in his hand since it was making him a bit sweaty. "Like you're in a better position," he remarked bitterly.

"Wait, wait," you quickly spoke, catching the sleeve of his jacket. "Sorry, it wasn't my place to laugh." You grinned. "I'm just pretty happy right now."

Eisuke quirked an eyebrow. "Oh?"

You nodded, still beaming. "When was the last time we ever really had a decent conversation?"

"..."

"Exactly!" Humming lightly, you motioned for him to sit back down next to you. He begrudgingly followed the unspoken instruction. "How long have you been working?"

"Two weeks," he promptly replied. "You?"

"Ah, about three weeks for me," you drawled out. Staring up at the slowly darkening sky, you spot several orange clouds. A silence grew between you two. It was a comfortable silence. Smiling to yourself, you recalled the encounters with Eisuke beforehand. The initial ones didn't leave the best impressions, but you gradually started to change your opinion of him after he saved Mira from Dora. Quite mature of yourself really. Almost as if-

"You've grown wiser since we first met."

You glanced at him, surprised that he was the one to break the silence first. "Hm?"

Eisuke's eyes focused on the sky. You could see a vague blush starting to develop on his cheeks. "I-It's just...you seem more professional. Your s-smile seems more mature somehow."

"Heeeh~? The Eisuke Yuki is complimenting a fellow ghost agent?" you teased with an evil glint in your eyes while leaning closer.

Eisuke refused to budge, acting as a small sign of stubborn pride to not back down. Keeping his gaze upturned, he replied haughtily, "You don't have to accept it then."

You chuckled under your breath. "No, I happily accept it," you kissed his cheek before pulling back with a large grin, "Mr. Spirit Sealer."

He spluttered, finally turning to you with cheeks set ablaze. "W-What was that for?!"

"Eisuke, could you be a tsundere by chance~?"

"W-What the heck is wrong with you?!"

"Want me to kiss your cheek again~?"

"...N-No!"

"There was a slight pause~"

"G-Get away from me!"

~

Your supervisor smiled warmly at the sight below her. "Ah, young love," she muttered out before taking a bite of her cheese pizza. She may or may not have forgotten to save you a slice.

I really should quit with these random stories...
