Numb

Mine!

Could she not be friendly for one night? One night!

UGH! I HATE all of the attention that she's getting because of that dress!

She's mine!

"How long are you going to keep snarling over men touching your precious 'Odango'?" heckled Yaten from his place to the left of me.

Taiki rolled his eyes from the other side of me. "Stop trying to bait him, Yaten. We're working right now, " he lectured, taking an appetizer from a passing server.

"Hey, I'm not the one giving off bad vibes tonight all because my crush is being swarmed by vultures, " snorted Yaten, eating another thing of that nasty shit he calls caviar. A mischievous look came across his face when his eyes landed on Odango.

He hummed, "But I must admit she does look delectable tonight in that dress." He emphasized his jab with a lick of his lips before he ate another piece of caviar.

I sneered at him, "You better not think about it, Shrimp, or I'll -."

He rolled his eyes at me. "You should know that I'm not even thinking about it. She's not even my type. But ... " a smirk stretched itself across his face as he nodded over to where Odango was, "it seems like she's his type."

I whipped my head around at neck breaking speed to see some ... Some ... SKUNK talking to my Odango.

He kept on touching her shoulder and moving closer to her as they talked.

Odango flushed and laughed when he moved her hair aside to reveal more of her neck in a false pretense of some lie that he was told her. Most likely that he wanted to look at her necklace better ... Oh, what I wouldn't give to -.

"Stop shooting lasers from your eyes before he takes her from you, " snickered Yaten before I snatched him up by his collar.

My eyes narrowed as I shook him. "She. Is. Mine, " I growled at him, then was forced to let him go by Taiki.

"This isn't the time nor place for you two to be acting like children, " he chastised, giving us both a sharp look that had shivers running down our backs.

Yaten huffed, fixing his tux. "I don't know why you're having a fit anyway. She's not even your girlfriend, " he pointed out, grabbing a glass of wine from a passing server and took a few sips.

I made a face, "She will be soon enough. I'm just taking my time."

"More like you don't have the balls."

I nearly punched his lights out right then for that statement if I hadn't seen wannabe pretty boy inching closer to Odango. Dismissing Yaten, I made my way through the crowd while cursing Odango for not listening to me about wearing the frilly green dress instead of that goddamn maroon one.

Ugh! I wanted nothing more than to punch him right in his rich, pretty boy mouth for touching her.

I was literally blazing my way through the crowd to get to Odango when Osamu appeared in front of me.

"Hey! Seiya-san! I need to talk to you about something!" my boisterous manager basically screamed into my ear, nearly drenching my tux with his glass of wine as he swayed back and forth in a drunken stupor.

I raised my eyebrow at him, watching Odango out of the corner of my eye. "What is it that you want, Osamu-san? I was headed to the bathroom, " I said, barely holding in my annoyance when I saw pretty boy kiss Odango's hand before he left.

Osamu slurred, "Well, the label wants to know whether or not you guys would be ..."

I nodded my head along with what Osamu was saying, giving vague answers when needed without looking away from Odango.

"Are you even listening to me, Seiya-san?" snapped Osamu, turning my face towards him.

I forced myself to look away from Odango, who seemed to be in trance of some kind as more men tried to hit on her. "I am listening. Go on ..." I lied, tuning him out again as he slurred on once again.

Minutes passed and I almost drank myself to oblivion from boredom until ...

"Usagi! Would you stop staring at Seiya-kun's ass already?! You look desperate!"

That peaked my interest as I looked over to where Odango stood with her friends. She was flushed so cutely as she argued with her dark-haired friend (Reiko I think it was).

Odango's eyes met mine seconds later. I made it a point to show her my appreciation of her outfit for the night by looking her up and down while licking my lips hungrily. I raised my glass to her with a wink.

Her blush deepened as she made it a point to scurry off afterwards.

Taking a sip of my drink, I licked his lips once more as I burned the image of Odango's form in her lacy maroon dress that shouldn't even be legal to wear around men besides myself.

Images of me proving that point to her if I cornered her in a secluded area like the ladies' room danced around my head. How she'd be begging for release and I wouldn't give it to her till she said that she was mine.

A shiver ran down my back at that thought. My boxers tightening slightly, but I held myself back from chasing her as I downed my drink.

I'll make her mine soon enough ...

A server offered me another drink. I gladly took it and forced myself to listen to Osamu prattle on with Odango dancing around in my head.

Soon ...
