Rolling his eyes as he watched Ryouga's hand tremble underneath the table to attempt to touch Yuma's thigh, Kaito had to grunt to get his attention again,
"You two are the ones who asked for my help with this assignment, so pay attention, will you?" Eyeing Ryouga in particular, Kaito was about to continue when Yuma burst out,
"I am! We are! Kaito stop being so mean about it, you keep grumbling and-"
"Then come sit closer to me, instead of Shark."
"No-" Ryouga started, meeting Kaito's smirk and quickly shutting up.
"Yeah! We're study buddies!" Yuma cheered, earning Kaito a well earned sigh to covere up his laughter.
With all the school these two ended up missing, it was a wonder they were still passing. He gave them what help he could, but with Ryouga's weak attempts at flirting with Yuma well..
Well it lightened the mood for him at least.
"Kaito?" A familiar voice broke in, causing the other to turn his head in confusion, smile still spread across his face. But that smile quickly turned to shock,
"V?" He started, earning a slight pout from his friend.
"Did you just call him 'bwee'?" Akari, Yuma's older sister asked, laughing.
"Ah, it's something of an…old nickname Kari," Chris explained,
"Sis? You're friend with V?" Yuma gawked, looking between the two
"Hmm? This is Chris, Yuma. We used to work together with our dad's when we were little—woah!" Akari started, punching Chris' arm with great malice.
"What did I do?" He was honestly surprised at the attack, he was just smiling at Kaito..?
"Don't be giving some fourteen year old googly eyes, Chris!"
"I wasn't looking at any…what are you..?"
"Kaito is Yuma's friend! Don't you get any ideas now! I didn't peg you for that kinda guy, Chris!" She was now scolding, turning to lash out at him.
Kaito had to admit, the height difference was kind of amusing. Seeing Chris get told off by someone who was almost a head shorter than him.
Yuma and Ryouga were both doubled over laughing at this point, tears of enjoyment splattering down on their worksheets,
"Kaito tell her you're eighteen!" Chris bawlked, flushing in full force as he turned to his old friend,
"E-eightteen? I'm only fourteen, Mr. Arclight." Kaito attempted to respond, nearly choking on his own laughter,
"See!?" Akari snarled up at him,balling her fist in the front of Chris' shirt,
"Kaito, really now!"
"Please don't y-yell at me, sir!" Kaito turned away to cover his mouth in what looked like fear to Akari, but the others knew was side aching laugter
"I will get you for—okay, okay! I'm sorry!" Akari began dragging Chris out of the room at this point, apologizing to Kaito for her friend's lewd behavior,
"We're calling your father, Chris. Just think! He's almost as young as your baby brother!" They could hear Akari scolding from the other room,
The three attempted poorly to resume casual looking work, only if to reinforce Chris' 'provocative actions, but ended up doubling over once again as Akari's voice continued to carry out through the house.
Kaito knew his height would come in handy someday.
