“What part of ‘shut up’ do you not understand?” she asked petulantly, turning away from the ever-increasing mounds of paperwork to face him. “The ‘shut’ or the ‘up?’” He thought very convincingly for a moment, and then said, “Both,” the barest hint of a mischievous smile twisting the furthermost reaches of his mouth. She sighed. Gosh, this was irritating! Her eyes fixed firmly in a glaring position, she shoved her swively-chair—which under any other circumstance would have provided great amusement, however...—away from the tornado wreckage of her desk and turned her entire body to face the mosquito-esque frustration. ‘“Shut’ and in to close, the opposite of open or to open; shut. ‘Up’ as in the upward motion executed by your mouth as it shuts, shutting off the noises and words usually associated with such noises from said ever-talkative mouth,” she snapped in one, long, cranky-due-to-sleep-deprivation-and-the-overwhelming-amount-of-meaningless-pointless-paperwork breath. He mulled that one over for a couple of minutes. A tiny spark of flickering hope flared in her chest. Did she dare pray that she had shut him up? Her eyes closed to drink in the utter silence, save for the perpetual, mechanic hum of the countless computers. “You mean,” he began—effectively making her heave a weary, internal sigh—sticking his face up close and personal with her own as per his usual, space-bubble-oblivious/ignorant ways, “like this?” He kissed her. Right smack dab on the lips. Just like that… Dang! He was a good kisser! All too soon, he pulled away, leaving her annoyed all over again. Why? She was upset with herself, for the exact reason that she didn’t want him to stop. But she was still very subdued; speechless even. It wasn’t everyday that an antisocial, reclusive, works-too-much nerdling like herself got kissed, now was it? “That,” she swallowed and continued on in a quietly flustered voice, “is most certainly one way to shut someone up.” She licked her lips nervously and sat there for a moment debating; fighting between the sweet, alluring… goodness of the kiss and smallest, tiniest shred of dignity and womanly pride she had left… Aah! What the heck? Screw her selfish pride!!! She reached out, grabbed the front of his plain white shirt in two clenched fists and pulled him in for another—much more satisfying and irrefutably MUCH more amorous—kiss. To which he readily responded. Caught in the rapture of the kiss he slid off of his chair and onto her own, sliding his arms around her waist as her hands slid luxuriously to tangle with his pitch black hair. Oh, yes. This messy-haired, sweets-eating, chronic insomniac, super-genius of a detective was hers! Fin. Misa: I can't imagine a world without Light! L: Yes, that would be dark.
