chapter 8 : reminds me of you

midnight blue deepens over a broad and starlit sky, the city glittered like a thousand diamonds, an oasis of light in the darkness.

bright yellow streetlights illuminated the road, there was only a few cars passing by since its 2am. you guys had been driving for almost 2 hours.

"do you know where are we going? you've been driving for 2 hours"

"i honestly don't know" haruchiyo shrugs his shoulders.

i didn't even get the chance to finish my food i'm hungry

bored. you huffed, looking out the window admiring the colourful display lights from the small shops. until something caught your eye.

"there's a convenience store nearby, let's raid it" looking out your window checking to see if there's people nearby.

"sounds like a great idea instead of eating in that shitty restaurant" he took out his gun making sure there is enough bullets inside in case something happens before searching for a parking not far from the store.

"come on hurry up!!!" you giggled while getting out of the car, passing him a black face mask.

"let's do this shit" he closed his car door, jogging towards the store catching up on you.

you peeked inside the store only to see a worker sitting at the counter table. no one else, just him.

right before you could take another step running into the store, haruchiyo pulls you back landing a kiss on your lips.

"good luck kiss" pecking the tip of your nose, he holds your hands running into the convenience store.

"we're raiding a store not going on a mission" you explained as you run.

"hands up baby boy" you pointed the gun to his forehead, he was terrified like it was his first time encountering a gun being point directly to him.

"make a sound and your head goes..." haruchiyo leans closer to his cold sweaty face.

"...booom"

the boy was now more than afraid. blinking sweat from his eyes, face frozen in a glassy stare of horror. ghastly whiteness spread over his face after looking at those tattoos you guys had. the bonten tattoo.

both of you began to pick the snacks and drinks you like, he took a few cans of beer while you're searching for snacks. you shifted your attention when you passed by the flower section.

"you done?"

"yeah, but we have one more thing to do" you took out your gun, aiming the boys head from afar.

"tell ran to erase the security cameras" walking out from the convenience store holding a bunch of snacks and drinks waiting for him to finish the call with ran.

you don't feel like disposing bodies tonight so you just leave it there, as long as you guys left without leaving any trace for the police to know you killed that boy.

looking up on the deep night sky, countless of small shining stars scattered around the bright silvery moon.

the mellow and radiant moonlight hits the hard concrete parking lot floor. there was no one, just the two of you.

leaning against the cold wall, you let out a hasty yawn. haruchiyo was sitting beside you drinking his beer, another hand holding his cigarette.

you ripped out the packaging of a random snack that you stole from the convenience store earlier, feeding him one later on putting the chips into your mouth.

"we should do it again, that was fun" you grinned, playing with his soft rosy pink hair.

"then let's make that as our usual date night" laying down head resting on your thighs, exhaling out the greasy off white smoke.

"i'd love too"

"come here" he gets up and inhales his cigarette, cupping your face gently. locking eye contacts with your greyish blue ones before leaning in for a kiss.

haruchiyo blows out the smoke into your mouth, you inhaled the small bitter particles while your tongue intertwined with his.

it felt like forever. both of you sharing each other's breaths, and you wouldn't want to let go, so does he.

finally you guys pulled back gasping for air, a string of saliva can be seen connected between both of your lips.

"by the way did you say something before i passed out last night?" you probed.

"it's nothing" he sweep his hair back, letting the cold wind hit his face.

"let's just stay like this for awhile" he pulls you closer making you sit between his legs. arms wrapping around your waist, placing his head on your neck as he nuzzles your rose scented hair.

"your hair smells tasty"

"wanna use my shampoo?" you let out a low chuckle.

"then we're gonna have matching scents"

matching piercings, matching clothes, matching katanas, matching guns and now matching scents? why not.

"i like the idea of us having matching scents though" playing with your ring, you took it out and slide it into his ring finger.

"wanna marry me?" he beam glancing at the silver ring you gave him.

"tsk shut up" you gently slap his hands.

"fucks that?" haruchiyo side eyed the small bouquet of crimson roses laying on the floor.

turning your head around wondering what he's talking about.

"oh that, i took it from the store too"

"for what?" he queried.

"it reminds me of..." you sigh.

you...

"reminds you of what? another men?" he scoffed, continue smoking on his cigarettes.

"i just like it, stop being jealous haru" you picked up the bouquet, taking out a single rose sniffing it.

"those roses reminds me of the first time we meet" haruchiyo took another rose from the bouquet, ripping the stem off then placing it behind your ears.

"i still remembered the face you made when i was driving with you for the first time" you bursted out laughing.

"tch, i was high stop laughing it's not funny" he growled.
