Writing Challenge: Matsuda Tota & Yagami Sayu
#01 - Air: "Excuse me Matsuda-san, I need some fresh air," Sayu said while brushing past him and by the time he could collect his senses to ask her out, she was already gone.
#02 - Apples: When the bag tears, it sends the fallen groceries in a million different directions, "here let me help you with that!" Matsuda shouts excitedly, slipping on a rolling apple and crashing to the ground.
#03 - Beginning: In the beginning he had just been the boyish rookie-cop from her father's office, so Sayu wonders how he came to mean so much more.
#04 - Bugs: From time to time it bugs him to think that all he will ever be to Sayu is Mr. Matsuda but that doesn't stop him from trying anyways.
#05 - Coffee: Sayu knows it took Matsuda months of rehearsing to gather the courage just to ask her out and after all the effort he made to bluster out those awkward words, she didn't have the heart to turn him down.
#06 - Dark: She comes by the police station to pick up her father's things, carrying the box of photographs and plaques, and Matsuda races after her, saying, "It's dark out, Sayu-chan, please let me walk you home," and Sayu doesn't protest, secretly relieved that she doesn't have to bare this burden alone tonight.
#07 - Despair: One of the reason Sayu rejects him is because she thinks Matsuda doesn't understand despair, but he does; she thinks he doesn't know what it's like to hold things in, but he understands that as well.
#09 - Drink: It's getting late, she says but doesn't move to leave, instead Matsuda pours her another cup of tea and they sit and chat for another hour before repeating this process again.
#10 - Duty: He fidgeted with the zipper on his jacket, unable to meet her questioning gaze, "no no no, I'm off duty Sayu-chan. I just came by to...." and just like always Matsuda finished his sentence with some odd excuse when what he really wanted to say was 'I just came by to see you.'
#11 - Earth: Sayu's mother called him first when the college girl didn't come home for dinner; Matsuda knew just where to look and sure enough there she was: sleeping in between their tombstones, passed out on the cold wet earth.
#12 - End: In the end, Sayu broke her own rule not to date older men, calling Matsuda the 'goofy boyfriend' when she talked about him to all her friends.
#13 - Fall: After her father's death and then her brother's, it seemed for the second time, Matsuda was there to catch her when she fell----but now Sayu's ashamed to ask why hadn't she noticed him standing there sooner.
#14 - Fire: These days were grim and turbulant but Matsuda had faith; she was like a pheonix, and with time Sayu would find her strength to rise above the ashes, to be reborn in a bed of flames.
#15 - Flexible: Despite how many times she declines his invitations to dinner, he continues to perservere until one day he takes out his planner and holds it up, saying, "just pick a date and I swear I will make time."
#16 - Flying: "I'm afraid of flying," Sayu mumbles into Matsuda's shirt sleeve, clinging desperately to his arm as the airplane jerks to life.
#17 - Food: Matsuda opens the front door and stares with wide-eyed surprise at his visitor; this time she is the one who must stutter out an excuse, "Hello, Matsu-san, I was just in the neighborhood. Are you hungry? I hope you don't mind but I thought I would bring by some dinner."
#18 - Foot: Her expression falls and all too quickly Matsuda realizes he said the wrong thing, cursing his luck for having his foot permanently in his mouth.
#19 - Grave: No matter how many times she asks, Matsuda doesn't mind driving her to visit them---or hold her when she starts to cry.
#20 - Green: For Christmas, Sayu gave Matsuda a green sweater and he wore it every day until Aizowa said he was beginning to smell and even then it had to be pried away. . .
#21 - Head: So many nightmares were tugging at Matsuda's mind when she had been taken hostage; he would go to heaven and hell just to get her back.
#22 - Hollow: "There's nothing to love about me, Matsu-san; can't you see? I'm hollow inside," she said with a quiver in her voice, but years later Sayu was thankful he didn't believe her then, thankful he saw something worth saving.
#23 - Honor: Sayu's face turned a bright crayola-crayon red as Matsuda got down on his knee, right there in the middle of the mall, and asked, "Would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
#24 - Hope: There was something special about Matsuda and the way he could dismantle her despair with just a grin.
#25 - Light: For a man who had never harbored hatred before, he can't stand the taste it leaves in his mouth; he hates Light for what he did to so many people, but especially for what he did to Sayu: he took away her father, and her older brother too.
#26 - Lost: "Just ask for directions!" Sayu eventually exclaimed, exasperated.
#27 - Metal: There are many kinds of metal in the world, but if Sayu was to compare their love it would not be to gold or silver, which represents the flashy kind of romance, but to iron: steadfast and strong, the type of metal meant to last forever.
#28 - New: Sayu couldn't stand to live in Japan anymore, too many bad memories haunting her, so one day she took him by the hand and whispered, "I'm running away, but you must come with me; together we can find some place new to live."
#29 - Old: "I'm not that old," Matsuda frowns, pouting, when Sayu says with a giggle she can see his gray hair.
#30 - Peace: After Kira was defeated (Matsuda and Sayu still had a difficult time associating Light with his alias, refering to them as seperate entities altogether), there was a steady climb in crimes once again; however something else came of this too, people were happier, the restrained atmosphere of Kira's reign had taken its toll on the every-day citizen but the shackles had been released and this, Matsuda told himself, was the kind of peace worth fighting for.
#31 - Poison: Nothing could poison Matsuda's happy spirits the day she said, "I love you too."
#32 - Pretty: It was at the annual police charity ball that Matsuda saw her truly as a grown up woman; she looked radiant, more a dream then reality, and when Sayu smiled at him from across the room for a fleeting moment their eyes met, and that was all it took for him to know he had fallen in love.
#33 - Rain: When their umbrella broke, Matsuda removed his trenchcoat and used it to cover her instead, not even complaining as the rain pelted his back.
#34 - Regret: "If only I had known, maybe maybe I could have stopped him, before. . . before it came to this," she says with big hiccupy tears, and in a forward gesture, Matsuda wraps his arms around her and hugs her tight; how many times, in self-punishment, had he said the same thing to himself?
#35 - Roses: The women where Sayu works are always telling her how jealous they are of her relationship, what they wouldn't give to have a man send them a bouquet of roses just to let her know he cares.
#36 - Secret: On very rare ocassions, Sayu will ask how it all ended and it pains Matsuda each time but he tells her anyways, always leaving out the detail that it was him who shot Light, and would have killed him had the others not pulled him back because inside he is afraid of what she would do, if she would ever look at him the same.
#37 - Snakes: "Tell me something about you," she asked; after all, they had spent the last hour just talking about her life but Sayu didn't expect what came next when Matsuda replied, "my father was a snake-wrangler."
#38 - Snow: Sayu stares outside the window but Matsuda doesn't dare disturb her because he knows she is not really watching the falling snow; she is traveling into the past, visiting her memories and other places he cannot follow.
#39 - Solid: He wanted to shelter her, protect her from whatever was to come and Sayu found comfort in this, a pillar of support when the ground beneath her had turned to quicksand.
#40 - Spring: Their first child was born in the spring, a chubby little girl whom they named Sachiko; they both agreed that when she grew up, little Sachiko wasn't to marry an officer and sure enough, she didn't----she became one herself instead.
#41 - Stable: Matsuda was many things, her loving boyfriend, yes but most of all he was her anchor in this world.
#42 - Strange: It's strange how contagious his laughter was, casting a wonderful spell on her mood, and little did Sayu know, she had the same affect on him.
#43 - Summer: That summer Matsuda had visited his family in Hokkaido where by fate or simple chance he saw her for the first time in over a year; floating beneath the willow trees, looking like a maiden ghost of Shinto lore; he was afraid to call out to her for fear she would disappear.
#44 - Taboo: Talking about Light and Kira in the same sentence had become a taboo subject over the years, one that Matsuda and Sayu were content to never bring up in conversation, but with nothing ever being said both wondered what the other was hiding.
#45 - Ugly: In a desire to create a romantic evening, Matsuda had tried to cook her dinner but the result just wasn't pretty; upon turning the chicken into a gooey corpse of its former clucking glory, the couple ordered a pizza instead, taking turns poking at the remains of what should have been their chicken meal.
#46 - War: Matsuda still possessed a youthful naivate, even as the war against Kira raged on, but all that was shattered when Sayu had been taken hostage and he was confronted with the fear of losing everything, of losing her.
#47 - Water: They dodged the rain by hiding under the bridge, stealing childish kisses from one another to pass the time.
#48 - Welcome: "How long are you going to stay mad at him?" Sayu's mother asked dryly at breakfast, " because he's been sleeping on the welcome mat for the last three nights."
#49 - Winter: Because the heater never works, the winter months are always cold in their apartment; but Matsuda and Sayu find they can get along just fine, snuggling up together on their simple futon.
#50 - Wood: The ancient wooden floor creaked under Matsuda's careful footsteps as he climbed into bed where Sayu was already snoring.
