Ash Lynx

"Ash? Aaash~?"

I love the way he says my name. His English is so imperfect, it makes it seem so cute that he accentuates the wrong part. I'm more than happy being Ash-uh for the rest of my life if it means I can have him.

"Ash! Wake up, I made breakfast for you!"

I love the way he makes breakfast for me. Japanese food looks disgusting, but it's actually pretty good. I'll never tell him this, but he's a far better cook than me. I'm more than happy being doted on for the rest of my life if it means I can have him.

"Ash, I know you're pretending, get up!"

I love the way he sees right through me. I guess he's gotten really perceptive over the months we've been together here in Japan. Or maybe I'm just not as slick as I think I am. I'm more than happy pretendi-

"Ok, I mean it now. Get up. Your food is getting cold"

"...mmm...what if I don't wanna..."

"Then I'll be upset. I'll pout, and make you feel bad. I might even cry."

"...you are so manipulative it's not even funny"

"If you listened to me, I wouldn't have to manipulate you~" he said with that innocent smile of his, and I sat up, blonde hair drooping down over one of my eyes as he giggled at my bed head. I ruffled his own dark hair as retaliation, before leaning forward and pecking him on the cheek, sliding out from under the covers and picking up a pair of jeans. I didn't bother grabbing any form of top as I walked towards the kitchen - it's summer, I'm alone with my boyfriend, sue me. I yawned loudly and stretched my arms over my head, and Eiji took the opportunity to wrap his arms around me, nuzzling into my bare chest and looking up at me with those gorgeous, curious eyes. The world almost seemed to stop whenever he gave me that look, and I leaned in a little, going for a kiss.

He stopped me with a finger on my lips, and despite my best efforts, wouldn't budge on his stance. "No kissing before tooth-brushing" was a strict rule in the Lynx-Okamura household, one that certainly divided opinions 50/50. Those in favour insisted on having a more rational argument, and I wasn't about to kiss him without permission. Former murderer? Yes, I know, but that's different, ok?!

If Eiji knew I was thinking those sorts of things, he'd scold me about table manners. I slumped into the chair and shook my head free of the dreams I'd been having - some variation of the usual, a vacation with Eiji. As dangerous as it might be, I've been desperate to get back to the States since the day we left. There was still so many uncertainties. Max and his family, Sing, Cain and the rest of the gang, Yut-Lung...ok, maybe not the last one. Jealous prick.

It didn't even have to be New York. We could go to New fucking Mexico for all I cared - at least it would be land that I knew. Izumo is nice and all...but it's not home...not yet, anyway. The rushed nature of the departure had devoid me time to properly adjust to not living in the States, and even Eiji knew that I missed it there. He's constantly saying stupid shit about moving back over there, which is absolutely not going to happen. I don't want him in any more danger than any normal human should be, but...a short trip to somewhere that isn't New York or LA should be ok.
