Author's Note:
Yosshh~! My second story with this account. I was re-reading a certain Doujin manga of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun titled 'Flirting Railgun' when this idea popped up in my mind. If you have read it before, this story has the same story line, only I added a bit of more details based on my own idea. You can say it as an adaptation? So I WON'T take the credit for this story. And in this story mainly will be in Touma's POV by the way.
Oh, and don't worry I won't abandon my other story. I'm still working on 'Railgun is a Boy?!'.
[[ Updated due to typos I had made before and horizontal line didn't work ]]

OOOXXXOOO
Summer. Index had gone to freeload over at Komoe-sensei's house. Just when I had thought I would finally be able to live in peace by myself, somehow the key that I had given to Index had ended up in the hands of someone else.
"Excuse my intrusion~"
There, I saw a middle school girl wearing Tokiwadai uniform sat in my room, playing a video game using my television.
"… So you are here again." I put my right hand on my head, feeling a little dizzy from seeing this sight. My eyebrows furrowed and I left a long defeated sigh.
"Isn't that fine? Since it's not really that big a deal." Came her retort. I took back what I want to say in reply to her words when she added, "Plus, while you were injured, just who was it who looked after you, hm?"
Okay, I was completely speechless at this, didn't know how to answer that one. Feeling defeated, I just replied with a simple words. "Yeah yeah, thanks a lot."
Besides, I felt really tired from all of my misfortunes that I had encountered today.
I accidentaly tripped on my way to school. When I tripped over, I stepped on a dog's tail making it chasing me all the way. When I didn't pay attention to my direction while running away from that angry dog, I bumped into one of Skill-Out member and made him angry and chased me until he got tired from running all the time. After I finally thought I could make it to the school, unfortunately I came late for my class and made my loli teacher, Komoe-sensei, crying. I got beaten up by the whole class. And now, after I came back from school to my dorm, this Biribiri Chuugakusei was right here.
So, as for the best, I didn't argue with this short-tempered girl in front of me unless I wanted to add 'having zapped by the strongest electromaster in Academy City' to the list of my today's misfortunes.
Came to think of it, my eyes caught something like a bag of groceries placed on the floor near this Biribiri girl. "…So you even went and bought groceries." I'm pretty sure a disbelief look must be plastered all over my face.
It's just that part of my mind couldn't believe it that this tomboyish ojou-sama could do something girly like this too sometimes. But of course I never said it out loud to her or I would receive the consequences: receiving her lightning strikes head-on, affecting all of my electronic equipments like air conditioner and fridge to go malfunctioning in this hot summer, and any other consequences I didn't want to imagine at the time.
I moved my legs and stretched out my hand to reach my fridge and opened it to grab some cold drink. Somehow I heard her saying, "Ah, for dinner I was thinking teriyaki yellowtail… You don't have a problem with fish, do you?"
"Nah, don't worry over that. As long as it's fit for human digestion, I'll eat it." I answered her question casually.
"What's with that?" Unnoticed by this girl, I eyed her as she giggled, saying this with a cheerful smile. I felt at peace just by seeing those brilliant and innocent smiles of this certain girl.
Truthfully, ever since I had started leaving the housework to Misaka Mikoto, my lifestyle has done a complete 180.
'The washing is all done, the cleaning is as well, huh…'
I noted to myself mentally as my eyes scanned all over the room. Practically this outcome were not one of what I would expect to happen anyway.
After what happened with the younger Misaka sisters, it had already been a month since Misaka Mikoto had offered to come help me after I had been so incapacitated that I couldn't even go about my ordinary routine.
"You, can't really do any housework, right…? So… Well, I can help… If you want…"
As I sat on my bed behind her, I recalled that time when she came to my place, offering her help. She seemed to say it without any confidences, her face was blushing heavily though… Maybe she felt embarrassed to a certain extent for some reason?
'At first, I had thought she was making some sort of joke, but…' My trail of thought got cut off by a what-looks-like-getting-frustrated-over-something-trivial type of scream of the only girl in my room.
"A~h! It can't end like this~! No way, I can't possibly lose! That's just impossible!"
I sighed and got up from my comfy bed to approach this frustrated girl whose hair was now spiking up because of a small amount of electricity leapt up from her head as she got more frustrated.
"You just saved before the seven heroes anyway…" I placed my right hand on top of her head to negate her electricity from behind. I could felt her body jumped a little from my touch. "Come on, don't get all staticky. You are making your hair spike up, you know. Really now, you've still got data from along the way, don't you? It should be fine if you try again. I will even help you, okay?"
She shifted her head, now looking up, staring at me so intensely and so I could see her blushing face. I got nervous just from her staring at me like that. "W…what?" I asked her.
"… Your right hand." She paused and got up from her current position. "Your right hand… So it looks like you can even calmly touch my hair while I'm electrifying it." Now her eyes directly looked at me on the face with a serious expression.
"Hehe~ I bet it pisses you off, right?" I teased her, wanting to lighten up the mood.
"N…no! That's not it! It just bothers me that I enjoy being patted by you!"
It was beyond my imagination that this shy girl would admit something so blunt like that, even though it's done accidentally. I fell silence as I kept my doubtful look on my face.
"…!" She shutted her mouth right after she realized what she just said. I saw smokes was rising from her exploded head maybe due to the embarrassment of admitting something to me that she never wanted to say.
"Ah, is that so…?" I asked dumbly, only adding more embarrassment to her.
Once again, I patted her, slowly caressing her head. "Then, this must bother you even more, I guess." I threw my gaze to anywhere but the girl in front of me, blushing slightly. And it just happened so suddenly that I forgot how to back off from the raging walking taser near me.
She got out of control and shooted her electricity to all directions toward me. "I take back what I said earlier, you definitely piss me off!"
"Hey! Anything besides my right hand is off limits! Watch it!" I screamed as I received her lightning spear directly on my right hand. Even though I could negate it, it still stung and my right hand felt numb from the contact with her power. "Aren't you going a little overboard…?" Cold sweats drop from my temple. Even I have this Imagine Breaker, receiving such terrifying threat from the strongest electromaster in Academy City is still scary enough.
She stopped attacking me and I could see her red face clearly now. She panted heavily from previous one-sided battle. She took a long breath to calm herself down and said, "… I will go prepare the food."
"Eh?" I confused. There's no trace of her previous emotion left inside this short-tempered hazel-haired girl. I eyed the girl as she calmly walked to my kitchen and wore my apron.
Unfortunately, she noticed my stare. "What?" She asked.
I lowered my head, telling her "Uh, no. It's nothing."
"Hm? You are so weird." I heard Misaka commented on my act.
'What the heck? Just when I thought she was pouting, she suddenly turned all happy… It doesn't really seem like… She was all that mad. Anymore at least.'
Now she just happily cooked in my dorm's kitchen like nothing happened, even humming…
"Mmm… I just don't understand girls." I admitted this. I really don't get it what's going on girls' head. I scratched my cheek with my index finger.
OOOXXXOOO
"Phew, thanks for the meal~" I laid down on my back against my comfy bed, my hands behind my head acted as the temporary replacement of my pillow. My empty stomach was full now. Well, it was good. I admitted it. Who ever thought a spoiled-looking ojou-sama like her could handle this kind of houseworks neatly. I am starting to fall in love with her cooking now.
"Don't mention it." She even tidied up the table and washed the dirty dishes. At some point, why I felt like this is our married life? Now I'm a bit sure she would make for a good wife someday.
"You've got some bad manners." Her voice rang on my hearing system. I change to sit position on my bed with both hands against the bed, supporting me.
"Yeah yeah." I gave a nonchalant response with my eyes closed.
That's when I felt some weight on my lap, urged me to open my eyes from curiosity to what weight was that. Then I saw the back of Misaka Mikoto sat on my lap. I spread out my legs a little and she sat between my legs. My heart was beating faster at our current position. Oy, oy, oy! What kind of situation is this?!
"Uwah~ it's a tight fit." She plopped between my legs. I sweatdropped, didn't know what to say.
"… Hey now." I swear to God, if those two Delta Force member saw me in such position like this with the famous Railgun, alone in my dorm, on my bed, they'll freak out and chop my neck.
Speaking of which, she is quite light so I didn't have major problems on balancing myself and adjusting to her weight when she leaned against my chest.
"Aren't you the one with the bad manners?" I told her, still became her new private human-cushion.
"Wha~t, isn't it rather nice? Or at least, you don't seem to hate it, right?" This time, it was her turn to tease me. I told her to shut up and then we fell into peaceful silence.
It's not like I dislike this silence in the room, but I want to talk with her more. So I started a new topic to discuss. But I'm just as bad as a starter. "…Weren't you feeling angry?"
She was silence at first, like thinking about how to answer my question.
"Hm? I wasn't really mad. It's just… I was just embarrassed, that's all." She spoke. From her tone, I could tell she was currently quite in a good mood now. Thank goodness.
But I jerked up at her statement. "So to hide your embarrassment, you would actually try and electrocute someone, you…" I felt hopeless at this girl's behaviour.
"What? With Touma's thick-headedness, it's not like it would do anything."
"I'm going to die… Fuh~"
"Geez, it didn't even have any effect on you." She suddenly turned around and now her face was right in front of mine. "Rather than 'you', call me Mikoto from now on." She demanded.
"Hey, if you move that way—!?" Such misfortune. With this sudden movement from her, I failed to balancing our weight together and fell flat on the bed with her on top of me. I could feel her heart rate increased, and of course my heart rate too. Expecting a nice lesson from this electromaster, my lips twitched nervously.
But rather than receiving a lightning strikes in return, in the seconds later, the weight on top of my body decreased as she suddenly jerked up, but still sat on my lap. I tried to got up slowly and said "Man, I'm just no match for you, Mi~ko~to~" I smiled at her.
Her face flushed and suddenly she threw herself over me, making me couldn't react and just let her slept on top of me.
"… Stupid Touma."
OOOXXXOOO
