Rin hummed an eccentric tune as she strolled into the kitchen, where her boyfriend of three years sat with his laptop opened on the dining table. Sesshomaru looked up momentarily from his thesis paper, his frameless glasses half way down his nose, and quirked a brow at her happier-than-usual disposition. Ever since she bought that CD album recorded by Pet Shop Boys, Concrete, she became immersed in the songs, crude and harshly blunt as they were.
In fact, she seemed so caught up in the current tune that she absolutely ignored him as she walked by without the slightest acknowledgment given. At first, this did not disturb Sesshomaru. It was noted that Rin had her moments of spacing out without realizing it. However, when she started rummaging through the shelves and made herself a peanut-butter and strawberry jelly sandwich without asking if he wanted some, he felt a little confused though not completely affected.
As Rin ate, she could not hum the song but tapped the beat with her feet and bobbled her head every now and then as the song ran through her head. Slowly Sesshomaru grew irritated at the feet tapping, even though it never bothered him before, but the idea of her outright ignoring him was starting to grate his nerves (and pride and attention).
Her act continued even after she finished her snack and proceeded to wash the dish and glass cup, which had milk in it earlier. This time, the humming grew louder, and unexpectedly she burst into the chorus,
“Where’ve you been?
Who’ve you seen?”
Her boyfriend glowered inwardly at the blunt accusations of the lyrics. Somehow, he felt that it was directed at him more than anyone yet he didn’t understand why. He never betrayed her trust, he rarely went out unless it was for school, work or to be with her (upon her request half the time), and he hardly associated himself with anyone. His conscience was clear as crystal.
“You didn’t phone when you said you would!
Did you lie?
Do you try to keep in touch?”
Abruptly, she broke off. Sesshomaru had risen out of his seat and gripped her forearm. He swung her around (gently) and gave her a semi-dark look. The plate she was washing fell into the sink. He spoke in a low tone of hidden aggravation, “Rin.”
Rin smiled and continued to sing as if deaf to his escalating frustration,
“You know you could
I’ve tried to see your point of view
But could not see or hear…”
She held out the last syllable, stressing it in a dying and haunting whisper. His girlfriend raised her free hand and brushed his cheek with the back of her hand. A silence descended upon them. Sesshomaru was in even more befuddlement and Rin in an absolute mystery to him. Her fingers soon wound themselves in his unnatural yet genetic silver tresses and curled at the back of his neck.
Sesshomaru resisted a shudder as one of her fingers traced a ghostly line from the back of his left ear down to the nape of his neck. “Rin,” he repeated, this time, with a growl of desire rumbling from his chest. Lust sparked in his golden irises.
“For jealousy…”
“I never knew ‘till I met you…” Rin trailed off, finishing the entire song and gave him a coy smile. “Sesshomaru.”
His previous aggravation seemingly evaporated as Sesshomaru registered her last phrase and promptly captured her in an intoxicating kiss which Rin promptly returned with equal fervor.
