Summary: Kazuha unfolded the tiny slip of paper…and her jaw dropped.



Kazuha sighed and continued digging through the mess. This was so irritating.

Ever since Heiji had gotten a car, she’d found herself in a new role as his personal maid. It was irritating, but her inner housekeeper couldn’t stand the mess in the vehicle. And it just got to a certain point where he couldn’t take it anymore.

So she cleaned his glorified trash can.

But at the same time, she didn’t want to throw away anything valuable. The ahou would yell at her for it later, best intentions aside. So she made sure to check everything before chucking it into the waiting garbage bag. It took forever, but then she wouldn’t have to deal with his stupid messes for a while longer, until it got to the point where she once again couldn’t stand it.

He really should consider himself lucky that he had someone like her to take care of him.

Ungrateful jerk.

Almost done… she thought thankfully, reaching for the last slip of paper on the floor. She unfolded it and looked at it, intending to immediately label it “Important” or “Unnecessary” and throw it into the appropriate pile to be dealt with later.

She wasn’t expecting it to be a jeweler’s receipt.

And she definitely wasn’t expecting it to prove record of a purchase of a certain piece of jewelry.

Kazuha just stared at it, completely forgetting her irritation at being her boyfriend’s personal maid service. She was so startled by it that she failed to notice footsteps coming down the driveway towards her.

“Hey, Kazuha, are you—“ Heiji appeared behind her, but stopped in mid-sentence when she turned and he saw the small slip of paper in her hand. He looked blank for a minute before he realized what she was staring at, then blushed and stepped back, looking embarrassed.

“Heiji,” she whispered, “…you bought a ring?”

“…yes.” Well, at least he was an honest ahou.

“…for?”

This time he didn’t answer, and the silence said more on its own than words possibly could have.

She slowly rose from her knees. “Heiji? Is it for me?”

He fidgeted; his response was in a small voice. “…who else would it be for?”

Kazuha stared at him for a minute, startled by his actual admission—she’d half been expecting some sort of disclaimer, a denial, why in the world would he get a ring for her? That was more his style. To hear him openly admit that it was for her…and what that actually meant…

“When were you going to give it to me?” she asked lightly, walking towards him.

Heiji shrugged. “I don’t know…when the moment seemed right, I guess.”

“How about now?” she marched right up to him and slipped her arms around his neck.

“It’s inside—I don’t know if—” he started to speak, but trailed off at her proximity…and was silenced completely when she pressed a quick kiss to his lips. He gaped for a moment, opening and closing his mouth before managing, “…or I could go get it?”

Kazuha was smiling, and her eyes were glowing, a luminous green. “I think that’s a good idea.”



PS. Based on a true story—not mine, sadly, but a friend of mine. She was cleaning her boyfriend’s car, and found the receipt. And I just had to use it because I thought it was so cute :) Talking with [livejournal.com profile] fyliwionvilyaer helped me piece it together. Thank you, lovey!

Again, stretching the theme just a bit—I saw the Aurora Borealis once, when it appeared in the sky here. The night sky was literally glowing green. It was beautiful…and so when I saw the theme, this is what came to mind: green and glowy. Hence, Kazuha’s eyes at the end.

Thanks for reading, everyone. Much love!

Aww, this is so sweet! :) You are going to make me love this pairing more than the casual way I do. ^^

For some reason, Kazuha is reminding me of one of my best friend's OCs here. XD That may also be part of the reason why I enjoyed this so much. And I adore Heiji's stammering around. LOL. He just doesn't know what to do with himself when it comes to him and Kazuha advancing their relationship beyond best friends!

Thank you!! *purrs*

Heiji...when they finally figure things out, pretty sure it'll take him a while to adjust to their new status =D But at the same time, I'm sure he'd be an awesome boyfriend--he's a very passionate person ♥

Only nine more to go...

Your icon is terribly amusing. XD

Nine more! Whee! I'll have to go back and read the earlier ones sometime. ^^

I've considered signing up for one of those kinds of challenge comms, but either I don't like the themes, I don't like the restrictions of what characters can be written about, etc. etc. I wanted to try something like that ... is it called 30_genfic? But I didn't like their theme set. XD; It wasn't as interesting as some of the other comms', like that disaster fic comm and the angst comm, and such. But it seems like those only accept one character or else romantic pairings.

Thank you!

They're all on the 30h tag =P They're not my OTP, per se, but I do love them. [livejournal.com profile] fireblazie writes them a whole lot better than I do, though...

I'm addicted to theme comms ^^;; I can understand your issues with them, though. But if you really want to give it a shot, try looking at [livejournal.com profile] 150_comms. They've got a comprehensive listing--I think it includes claim info and stuff. Maybe you could find something you like there?

Or you could bop over to [livejournal.com profile] 30_evil_deeds and write that with me! No claims and no time limits! Just write! *pets Gin and his hair*

I see your 'uh-oh fangirls' icon, and raise you my own!

Thanks for the link. XD I'll check it out! ^^

What I really wanna do is get a nice theme set for ideas for more Gin and Vodka stories and drabbles. ^^ I love their non-romantic relationship so much. And it's one thing I'm fairly certain of in canon. XD Though I shall look at the theme set for 30 Evil Deeds and see what I think!

**snerk.** Oh that's a priceless fangirls icon! Run Jack!

Hope you find something you like ^_^

Hmmm...well, there are a lot of communities that have alternate theme lists and stuff...check out that comm and see if something works for you. I'd like to see someone write [livejournal.com profile] 30enemies sometime. That one's funny!

Ooooow! The story is so cute! It is hardly believed that this situation has been taken from a real life. But it only proves that sometimes life can be really unpredictable, with unexpected turns, and really romantic.
Keep on writing. We are waiting for your new chapters. How about Kaito and Aoko? (But we love Kazuha and Heiji as well) ^_~v

Thank you =) Glad you liked it! Real life is sometimes more unbelievable than anything a fiction writer could cook up. I steadfastly hold to that ♥

Another Kaito/Aoko fic for [livejournal.com profile] 30_nights is next on my list ^__^
