Something short I typed up for the comic series Betting On Love featuring Shuichi x Rumi.
Sorry the diologe is stiff, but I used the lyrics for part of it, I think it turned out ok.
Please leave a review!
======================
?Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor
They're just tiny little rumors
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you?
Rumi Tendo stomped inter her bedroom and slammed the door as Shuichi?s parting words taunted her.
?Of all the low-down-dirty-rotten things to do!? She muttered in frustration as she pulled the pretty hair clips out of her hair and placed them on her desk.
?Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous
And I'm sure those other fellas
Never once believed the lies I told were true?
?I wish they didn?t believe them,? Rumi thought with dismay. The horrible events of the evening flooded over her. She flopped down in her chair with a sigh and tried to hold back the tears.
She?d finally gotten asked out on a date and by a really nice guy too. All dressed up in her finest, she went to the ice cream parlor. However, he never showed up. Instead Shuichi had been there with two of his friends. Shuichi was laughing and having a good time, and why not? He was enjoying pulling that horrible joke on her.
One of Shuichi?s friends finally let the cat out of the bag that Shuichi was spreading rumors about Rumi to keep guys away.
Rumi sniffed and wiped at her nose. ?The creep??
?Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band?
Rumi began getting into her night clothes. ?I wish I was dating them, but I never even got a good chance because of his jokes!?
?Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway ?
?How would you know?? Rumi demanded to know the taunting voice that was playing through her mind.
?Rumi, are you on the phone?? Her father asked as he walked passed the door.
?No sir, I?m just going to bed.?
?Okay, good night.?
?Good night??
Rumi climbed into bed and pulled the covers over her head in hopes of finally drowning out Shuichi?s afoul voice.
In dream land Rumi is at a ball dancing with Prince Charming, laughing and having a good time. They go out to the balcony and they are about to kiss when Shuichi pops up. ?I?m doing you a favor,? he says as he drags Prince Charming away.
Rumi jerks up.
Her room is dark and there?s a pecking sound.
Groggy she turns on her lamp and looks over at her window. Something is banging against it, but it?s too dark out side for her to make anything out.
She goes over and opens up the window, her pillow in toe.
Sitting on a tree branch is Shuichi.
?Why you rat!? Rumi tries to slam the window closed, but Shuichi moves too fast for her. He pushes his way in.
?Get out!? Rumi says in a loud whisper as she looks over to her bedroom door for any sign that her parents might be coming.
?Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
All the crazy things I'm doin'-?
?Yeah, you?re a jerk.?
Shuichi puts his hand over Rumi?s mouth to keep her from interrupting him.
?Is because I really care about you girl
And I'll admit I go a little farther
Than I know I probably oughta?
Shuichi paused and blushed a little as he looked down at the ground.
?But it's all because I need you in my world?
Then he smiled and gave her a wink.
?Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels?
Rumi snickered. ?What lawyer?
Shuichi shrug. ?See, that?s more like it.?
Angry again Rumi moved away from him and hugged her pillow for protection. ?He was a really nice guy and I liked him. Can?t you get your kicks some other way??
?Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway?
?That?s what you think. I would have liked to had the chance to find out for myself. He could have been a good kisser!?
?I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself ?
?Why, you have a problem with me being happy??
?No? I want you to be happy? I just wish you?d be happy with me.?
Shuichi sat down in Rumi?s chair. ?Do you have any idea what you do to me? I can?t eat and all I can write a gross love songs.?
?Really??
?Yep?? Shuichi looked up at her and tugged at the bottom right corner of her pillow.
?Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge?
Rumi giggled. ?You?ve got a screwy since of romance.?
?I know, are you falling for it??
Rumi eyed him for a moment. ?Are you the least bit sorry for what you?ve done??
?Even if I am responsible for scaring him away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway?
?Well, maybe??
Shuichi tugged the pillow out of Rumi?s hands and tossed it onto the floor as he used his other hand to pull her down into his lap.
Rumi?s heart skipped a beat as she felt his warm breath against her ear.
?It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you?
?Shuichi? My parents are just across the hall. You should go n-?
?Shh?? He planted a kiss firmly on her lips.
?Mmm?? Rumi let out a sigh. ?You shouldn?t be in here.? Rumi jumped up and started pushing him out.
?Okay, okay??
Shuichi had one leg out the window ceil and then stopped.
?What??
?Are you still angry??
?Of coerce, but we?ll talk about it later.?
?Just remember something.?
?Huh??
?And it never woulda worked out anyway?
?What makes you so sure??
Shuichi leans in and stills another kiss. ?Because they could have never driven you as crazy as I do.?
Sorry the diologe is stiff, but I used the lyrics for part of it, I think it turned out ok.
