At the first sight, it is clear that he really hated Inaho when they first met face to face for the first time since he thought Inaho is an ungrateful and cruel bastard for trying to kill him. Also he had save Inaho when his about to be kill by one of the knights but Inaho still think of him as an enemy and shoot his plane. Ever since then he hates Inaho with his whole heart and nobody can change the way he feels even if that person is the princess.
"You still won't forgive him?" Asseylum asks.
"I'm sorry but that is something I can't do." He apologizes.
"Inaho kun is a very good guy." She try to help to change the way Slaine think of Inaho. "At that time he thought you were a Martian, so . . ."
"Even so it doesn't change the fact he try to kill someone who try to help him." Slaine quickly bows and walk away feeling guilty for cutting off his princess words but now he is very angry.
He is fine talking to everyone in the battleship and he also already have a nice friendship with Inaho sister but Inaho is the only one he will give a cold shoulder to. When Inaho is before him, Slaine will ignore him and refuse to answer to every of his questions. He will even call him 'orange' and refuse to call Inaho by his name. As always his princess try to help him and Inaho to become friends but it is impossible. There is no way in hell he wants to be friend with that jerk.
"Do you want to help you, Inko?" He asks as he tie the apron around his waist.
"Thank you Slaine." She smiles widely when she sees him.
Taking the knife Slaine start to peel off the potato skin fast and carefully, he does his work perfectly which makes him reliable in the kitchen. It is their group turn to cook for everyone and Slaine always offer his help when he has nothing to do in the ship. The princess already has Eddelrittuo to handle most of her stuff and there are already people hire to fix his plane.
"You're quite good Slaine."
"Thank you. My mom used to teach me how to do it when I was young." He says and hand her the potato that he has peel.
"That's good. Then can you please teach me how to cook when you're free?" She take the nearest stool and sit beside him. "I heard from the others that you know hundreds of recipe."
"Not that much." He chuckles as he hand the girl a knife.
"You so cute when you laugh!" She look at his face closer. "KAWAII!"
It was then others girls in the kitchen surround them and giggle as well to see the cute face Slaine is making. He continue to smile at them as he feel a bit nervous to be surrounded by many girls.
"Um . . ." He try to find some words so the girls will give him some space.
"What are you guys doing?" They all turn to see Marito leaning against the door with Inaho beside him. "Get back to work!"
The girls pout as they walk away to continue their job while Slaine simply sighs before his face turn into frown when he sees Inaho. Inko watch as Slaine look away angrily and sighs as well knowing well that this person hate her friend from the bottom of his heart. For a slight second she can see Inaho seems disappointed and sad.
"Slaine, you're still angry at Inaho?" She whispers.
"Of course, every time I look at Orange face my heart beat so wildly that I feel like punching him." He says in anger and accidentally cut the potato in half. The knife press deep into his skin causing it to bleed which surprise him for letting his anger to take over. Inko was about to take his hand to treat his injury but Inaho appear and wrap a cloth around Slaine hand.
"Orange?" Inaho didn't say anything as he forcefully pull Slaine out from the kitchen.
"Heart beat wildly, huh?" Her eyebrow twitches. "Could it be?"
'That Slaine is in love with Inaho.'
"Let go!"
"You're hand is bleeding and need to be treated immediately." Inaho says emotionlessly and continue walking. When they arrive at the infirmary Inaho start mumbling something when he notice the doctor is not here and asks Slaine to sit down. Slaine did as he was told while gripping his injure hand tightly when he starts to feel the pain. This injury is nothing compare to the time he was torture.
"Let me see your hand."
Slaine glare at him and hiss when Inaho pull his hand away and untie the cloth.
"That's deep."
"I can treat the wound myself, you don't have to take care of it."
It's normal. Every time he got hurt, he will treat the wound himself knowing well he can't depend on anyone to take care of him. But . . .
"Stay still." Inaho said before he start to lick the blood.
Slaine flinch from the sudden contact, he watch in fear and curious as Inaho continue to lick it. When Inaho look up to make an eye contact with him Slaine heart starts to beat wildly as always and the temperature of his body rises drastically.
"St-stop. Ah . . .a . . . .uh . . ." Inaho place one of his hand on Slaine tight and the other is gripping Slaine wrist tightly as he can so Slaine can't pull it away. "N-no!"
"Cute." Inaho tease him.
He hates him.
He should be hatting him.
"Slaine." Inaho whispers his name in a husky voice.
Since when did Inaho smile? Isn't he one of those people who doesn't show much emotion?
"Show me more."
He finish licking all the blood away and push Slaine on the bed.
"I want to see more of yourself."
"Ah!" Slaine scream when Inaho easily strip him in ease.
"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him." Slaine chants as he pull the blanket close to him.
Yuki pat the boy head sympathetically. The true is even she was surprise when she heard Slaine screaming and came running to help but instead of seeing him got attack by an enemy she sees her younger brother is on top of Slaine. Seeing Inaho trying to take off Slaine pants just tell her what happens.
"He is evil! He try to rape me!" Slaine cries.
"Slaine." She says his name. "I think my brother just having trouble in expressing his feelings."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sure you already know my brother hardly shows his feelings before." He nods. "When you first came here and step out from that plane, my brother goes speechless for the first time in his life. That is the first time I see him blushes like that and I know at the moment he has fallen in love at the first sight."
Did she?
Did she just said?
"His in love with me?" Slaine feels shiver down to his spine when he thought of Inaho in his head.
