Warnings: I have a sick sense of humour, Chloe POV, drabble.
It was the sound of Aya chuckling in the kitchen that finally roused Chloe from his magazine. The article about how a pop starlet had been seduced by an older rock star was just getting interesting as well. Aya didn't chuckle, and he sure as hell didn't laugh.
He was with Ken and Michel and the three of them were howling with laughter. Ken kept thumping the table he was sat at and now and again Chloe could hear Michel's faint giggle.
They were talking, that much was clear because he could hear the dark rumble of Aya's voice and then Ken would laugh, and Ken would say something and Aya would chuckle.
Chloe looked across the parlour to where Yuki was sat with his PSP handheld console. Yuki looked back and shrugged to suggest that he didn't have the faintest idea what was so funny either. Free was sat in the other armchair leaning over the coffee table laying out spreads, to Chloe they looked like practises more than anything else.
"Free," he suggested as there was another peal of Ken's particularly loud braying laugh, "wouldn't a cup of tea be wonderful about now?"
"Your curiosity, Chloe, is hardly reason for me to go in there." Free answered blithely.
There was another tense couple of minutes before Aya chuckled again.
Free rolled his eyes, "you are lucky that I am now in the mood for tea." He told Chloe. Chloe smirked knowing full well that Free was easily as curious as he was.
"I'll have a cola." Yuki piped up from behind his console.
After a few minutes, in which the laughter didn't abate, Free came back in carrying a tray with two cups of tea and a tall glass of cola. He must have been flummoxed by the display in the kitchen, Chloe thought, if he made himself a cup of black china tea instead of the herbal concoction that smelt like mould and tasted like mustard that he normally favoured.
"So," Chloe pressed as he handed him the tea. "What's so funny that Aya is laughing?"
Free looked blank for a moment, "apparently, I had to be there."
