VF drabble: "Date" [G, Takaba]

Written for Viewfinder's [livejournal.com profile] vf_scribbles Drabble Challenge 2A "Guilt":


Date


He should have been having fun.

Kawashima was intelligent, bubbly and very, very pretty. She’d also asked him to call her Midori. Half the men at the newspaper would have given next month’s salary to be in his shoes now.

But as much as he tried, Takaba couldn’t relax. He just felt. . . disconnected. And - much to his annoyance - furtively guilty. As if he was doing something wrong!

It was midnight when he shut his apartment door, leant against it with closed eyes, sighed.

Tonight, he decided, had been a mistake. It was then the scent of cigarette smoke reached him.

That last line made me cringe (which is a good thing).
