Marriage in Ikebukuro
Chapter Nine
I grabbed a pair of black gloves (that Shizuo had given me for my present) and slipped them on. They reached my elbows and the fingers were cut off.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Hm? Oh, I don't want your blood on my hands so I'm wearing gloves."
"N-nani?!"
"Besides you could have HIV or something. I wouldn't want to risk that getting into my bloodstream, now would I?" I smiled innocently. I turned on the closet light before looking at him.
"B-but I'm sure w-we can t-talk things th-through!"
Slam.
"Why'd you dodge?" I whined, recoiling my fist from the wall. A small hole was punched through it as I scoffed.
"Tch, now you have to pay for that hole!" I exclaimed.
"M-me?! You punched the hole!"
"Well you dodged!"
"What was I supposed to do? Stay still so you could punch me?!"
"Well...yeah!"
"One minute left!" I heard Nami's muffled voice call from outside.
"Tch. I'll get your ass somehow." I threatened before shaking my hand to relieve some of the pain. It didn't hurt that much, just a little.
The door flung open to a worried Nami.
