The Moon's Little Tease

"Tsuki-chan…"

Tsushima Shuji rolled down all the car windows and leaned on the door, gazing longingly at Bai Yue, though his eyes were difficult to read.

"Could you just keep looking at me like this forever…"

"Hey, being beautiful is one thing, but don't get carried away. Besides, there's a turn up ahead. I'm not some kind of X-ray vision machine…"

Bai Yue chattered on and on.

Inside the car, Tsushima Shuji simply listened with a smile on his lips, not the least bit impatient.

Now and then, he would lower his head, revealing a bitter smile like a gambler who had lost everything, hidden from Bai Yue's view. His eyes were hollow and numb, as if he had lost everything. Only when he looked up again and saw the girl still standing at the door in the rearview mirror would tenderness return to his expression.

[I can't write blurbs, so I decided to use a bit of dialogue from the story. This is a short story I've had sitting around for ages. Though I've decided the pairing will be Boss Dazai, I don't think I've managed to write any sweet romance at all. Sigh-----]
