Caught In His Stitches

I promise: Not to refuse you

(F/N)'s POV

It had been a month since we started going out, apart from the school misunderstanding everything was going well.

Suzuya had been busy working on some serious case but still popped in everyday to purchase sweets. He had already tried everything in the shop but still came everyday day.

Suzuya and I hadn't had much opportunity to hang out like that night.

There had been a Ghoul attack too close to home and mum was being overly paranoid at every noise.
So I told him we shouldn't until things died down with the Ghouls.

He wasn't happy to say the least,
But he understood where I was coming from.

So I thought.

I returned to work after school,
Suzuya was already there and talking to my mum who seemed rather happier than usual.

"What's. . going on?" I asked curiously.

"Suzuya here has paid all expenses for a night at a spring for myself to endulge in, so I have taken him up on his offer" she beamed

"Did he now? When do you leave?" I put my bag behind the counter sounding suspicious.

"Well actually I should be leaving about now, right Suzuya?"

"Yes ma'am! You deserve it raising such a sweet daughter. Go right along now!" He basically pushed her out the door.

"Alright alright" she giggled like a school girl, "Oh! I have entrusted your care to Suzuya for the night"

Your face burned red

"I couldn't leave you alone afterall. Bye now! Ah.. off to replenish this old body of mine! At long last"

She sounded so happy that you couldn't deny her the time away,
But...

You looked at Suzuya who was waving happily at the door,
"I promise to take good care of her! Don't worry I won't let anything harm her! Don't rush back!"

He turned and smiled at you,
"Looks like it's just you and I, my sweet candy" he winked.

~~~~~~~

You were restocking the shelves while Suzuya watched your every movement from his sitting position on the counter top.
Swinging his legs as he did so.

You were placing a jar just out of reach when suddenly you were gripped by the waist and lifted up.

"Eep! Suzuya!"

"There that's better right?"

You looked down, he wasn't even shaking, he was rather strong under those thin arms of his.

Having placed the jar on the shelf,
Suzuya spun you around mid air before catching you bridal style.
"You're really light you know that!?"

He leaned in to kiss you,
Only you face plant your palm.

"We are working... put me down" you scorned like a child.

He squeezed tighter keeping silent.

"Now" you demanded.

"Aww... okay" he pouted placing you back on your feet.

~~~~~~~

You both closed up the shop making sure it was locked.

"Noooo... My girlfriend holds my hand when we walk together" he holds out his hand which to take hesitantly.
