Keyakizaka46 One-shots (English)

Addicted to you (Yuichanzu)

A/N : First try at writing Yuichanzu. Sorry for the long wait, life kicked me in the ass one too many times. Enjoy :D

The stench of cheap cigarettes and moonshine threatened to choke me as I leaned down and wiped down the table, mindful of the gazes following my every movement.

My stomach felt queasy as I noticed one of the patrons out of the corner of my eye lick his lips and eyeing me as if I was naked but I stood my ground and swallowed down my fear.

Soon.

I gathered the empty shot glasses and beer bottles and deposited them on the bar counter aware of the steely gaze of the bartender-cum-owner of the pub I was currently working in. Ignoring him, I went over to the sink behind the counter to wash my hands.

Then, I heard it.

The creak of the swinging saloon doors as a person walked in, heels clacking across the hardwood floor. I eyed over my shoulder and the newcomer caught my eyes giving me a small smirk in acknowledgement.

Short hair covered with a beret and her short stature swathed in a big furry coat, snowflakes dusting her shoulders. Face devoid of makeup save for the pink of her cheeks courtesy of the freezing winter and the tantalizing red rouge that colored her small lips.

I let out a breath, feeling butterflies flutter in my stomach as I smiled back at her.

She walked up towards the counter and ordered for a shot of whisky and downed it in one shot. Tilting the empty shot glass in her hand and making a show of scrutinizing it she then threw it towards the bartender who barely ducked out of the way as it smashed into smithereens behind him.

That's the cue.

Quickly I reached behind me for the revolver I hid in the waistband of my jeans and pointed it towards the panicking patrons scrambling over the tables. Shouting at them to stay still if they valued their lives, I saw the man who was eyeing me when I was wiping the tables and smirked in satisfaction at the sight of him cowering and wetting himself.

I looked behind me and nodded towards her in silent agreement that I'll have her back.

I'll always have your back.

She pointed her gun at the bartender, forcing him to hand over the cash inside the cash register.

It all happened so fast and the next thing we knew we were running and laughing with bags full of stolen cash towards the getaway vehicle.

As we got in, she suddenly grabbed my face and planted a loud wet kiss on my cheek, whooping with joy as the adrenaline kicked in.

I stuttered, red-faced as I stared dumbstruck at her beautiful grinning face.

"What are you waiting for Yuipon? Go go!"

I snapped out of my stupor and stepped on the gas, driving us into salvation.

Her tinkling laughter accompanied our late night escape.

I blew out a breath and watched in morbid fascination as the air fogged in front of me and huddled closer near the makeshift fire. Miserably, I took out a crumpled piece of paper out of my tattered coat pocket and stared longingly at it.

It was a picture, a picture of a beach bathed in the light of the setting sun.

My dream was to be able to go and see the beach, to feel the warmth of the sun and the smell of the sea. To bury my toes in the white sand and bathe in the cool waters of the ocean.
