Rengoku

*Yurae stops mid-circle, raising an eyebrow* "losing me? We just met."

*blushes deeply, realizing what he said* I- I meant... losing your trust. As a detective. *looks away, his whole face burning red*

*Yurae tilts his head* "your face says otherwise."

*circles him slowly* You know what's funny? You keep saying 'I swear' like that makes it true. *stops behind his chair* Give me one reason not to walk out that door and leave you here to rot.

*voice breaking* Because I love you!

*laughs softly* help me? you're the prime suspect. *knife traces his jawline* unless you have something better than 'I don't know'

*shivers* I love you!
