One More Day In Paradise

TsuSoka fluff!! <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Awakening in the bright sunlight, Hisoka blinked slightly, then rolled to look at the clock. Time to get up. Another day. He went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. He would go to work and endure more of Tsuzuki's antics, Watari's experiments, Konoe's groaning about his stomach pains, and Tatsumi's budget cut threats. Was there anything more boring? Some days he wanted to quit his job. It was just annoying. But he stayed, knowing that they wouldn't have such an easy time keeping Tsuzuki in line. He dressed himself, pulling his shirt over his head and then going after his shoes. They were quickly tied and he started a brisk walk toward the ministry. It was a calm day today, a soft breeze rustling the branches of the trees. The sky was blue and all was pleasant. Hisoka's mind drifted, bringing him through his life as it was. He would get to work and Tsuzuki would be late again, leaving him to do most of the work for the first hour and a half. And when he finally came in, he'd be more interested in food than work. Then he'd probably fall asleep while "working" drooling on his papers and getting ink on his face. When Hisoka woke him up he'd ask if it was lunch time and Hisoka would lose the debate over whether or not they should get lunch. When they got back, Hisoka would be ready to work again, but all Tsuzuki would want to do was goof off. They'd probably have to stay late again, mostly because Tsuzuki whined when Hisoka tried to leave without him, saying that he didn't want to have to work all alone. Hisoka would lose that fight as well.... like he always did.

He sighed as the building came into view, wondering why he didn't mind going to work every day and putting up with these things. He pondered this for the time it took to get to the building and go to the office that was his own and Tsuzuki's. As he'd thought, Tsuzuki wasn't there. He didn't bother hanging up his jean jacket, deciding to leave it on just because he was more comfortable that way. Then he moved around the office, grabbing small things he'd need and greeting people. Wakaba was pleasant, as usual, greeting him with a smile and directing a still half asleep Terazuma to his desk. Tatsumi was ever present, also giving Hisoka a calm "good morning" before handing him a new file. Then he proceeded to ask if the boy had seen Tsuzuki, and sighed when he heard that he had not. Grumbling ensued as the man walked away, murmuring about cutting the pay to a certain amethyst eyed shingami. Watari's greeting was more enthousiastic and he offered Hisoka some tea. The empath turned him down and he frowned for a moment with a "why not?" Hisoka took one of the cups and poured it into the potted plant to their side. Within moments, the plant had grown two new budding flowers, then small razors fell out of the leaves. The scientist raised his hands with a chuckle, stating that Hisoka was too quick for him, then went to his office inviting Hisoka along any time he felt like helping with his experiments.

When Tsuzuki finally showed up, Hisoka had been working for a while and the man looked like he'd just hopped out of bed, which he probably had. Hisoka only spotted him after leaving his desk to go after a cup of water from the cooler and that was because Tatsumi had caught him trying to slip into the office unnoticed. Hisoka sighed and watched for a moment, knowing when it was a good time to step in. After all, he'd been through this many times before. Soon, Tsuzuki spotted the boy and gave him puppy eyes, begging for assistance. Hisoka shook his head, crossing his arms harshly and letting the verbal thrashing continue. When he felt that enought time had been wasted, he stepped forward. "I'll take it from here," he said, "we shouold get to work." Tatsumi frowned, but nodded, letting them go to their desks. Tsuzuki seemed ready to hang off of the boy's arm.

"Oh, sankyuu, Hisoka!" he said, bouncing slightly, "you saved me from Tatsumi." Hisoka shook his head.

"I stopped him so I could put you to work," he said, "now sit and start writing." This was an order as he pushed the man down into his seat with a huff. Tsuzuki pouted tearily.

"Hiisoookaaaaaaaaa," he whined. The empath didn't answer, going back to filling out his own papers. After a while the whimpering stopped and Hisoka was able to work in silence, only to look up and find that the man had fallen asleep on his desk. He let out a moan of displeasure and chucked his pen at the man's head.

"Wake up!" he ordered. The man's head lifted from the desk swiftly and he looked blearily at his partner.

"Uwha-?" he began, looking at the boy, who crossed his arms and glared.

"Back to work," he said, "I won't let you slack today. I'm planning on going home on time tonight." Tsuzuki whimpered.

"But Hisokaaaaaa," he said.

"No buts!" There was more whimpering and Hisoka went back to work.

What was it that made him only mind these things slightly and forgive them within moments? Why didn't he care that Tsuzuki was a lost cause? He watched the man for a moment, seeing the ink mark on his cheek from when he'd fallen asleep on his pen. With a sigh, he sat up, moving to the man's side with a handkerchief. His amethyst eyes widened for a moment.

"Hisoka?" The boy tapped his forehead.

"Stop moving so I can get the ink off of your face," he said, gently wiping it away. He continued rubbing the spot even after the mark was gone, very comfortable in this spot. Tsuzuki had relaxed as well, eyes closing contentedly. In that moment, Hisoka understood why it was all worth it.... why he didn't mind. With a slight intake of breath, he leaned forward, his lips brushing Tsuzuki's ever so lightly. Then he was back at his desk in moments, having left the handkerchief on Tsuzuki's desk. the man looked at him.

"Hisoka?" he said again. The boy shook his head.

"Get to work," he said, fighting to keep the blush from his face. Tsuzuki stared, but went to his paperwork with a grin. This was why he stayed... why he didn't mind. This was why he prayed every morning for just one more day in paradise.

That is so sweet. I especially liked the part where Hisoka rubs the ink off Tsuzuki's face with a hankerchief and briefly kissed him. You really know how to write Tsuzuki and Hisoka well.

Jani_chan

awww^^ thank you. Actually, I'm still laughing at the part where he chucks the pen at Tsuzuki's head XD

I think I write them better than the others because I'm very much like them myself. Thanks for reading <3

The part where Hisoka throws the pen at Tsuzuki's head is priceless.

Jani_chan

So THIS is the prequeal!! Fantastic! You DO know how to write them well. Everyones perfectly in character here, I love the canonball pen as well but the tea bit, now THAT was priceless, you can just see the innocent look on Watari's face, I love how Hisoka is just so automatic about everything, like this office life is madness to us, but it's just another day to him, when he poured the tea into the plant I couldn't stop laughing, you can just imagine the flat look on Hisoka's face as the plant mutates and coughs up numerous potentially life threatening objects, "Oh, thaaaaat's why you don't wanna drink my tea, well whenever you wanna help out with my expierements", is Watari crazy, I'm sure he meant to say, be drugged, and not help out. Tsuzuki is wonderful in this. And I love Hisoka mentally timing the appropaiate moment to bail Tsuzuki out from Tatsumi's wrath. And the chaste kiss at the end was just the icning on the cake. Their lips brushing *squeal* wheee! *out of breathe* but yes, all in all, nice fic, I liked it, well done!!

O.o I think I've become hyper....[/i]
