Dell sat smirking at his laptop screen, taking a drag out of his cigarette. Teasing the teen was just too easy, and his reactions were just too funny.
He saved all his documents before shutting down his own machine. The morning would be interesting indeed.

Taito groaned at the sound of a knock on his door. His purple eye flickered to the flashing red numbers on his alarm clock showing informing him it was 9:48 AM.
Growling, the Shion buried his head under one of his many pillows. "Go away!" He shouted, wanting to return to his precious sleep.
A small, nagging thought drifted through his head, but he was too sleep deprived to decipher it.
"Oh, then I guess the breakfast I made for you was a complete waste," Dell's deep voice said through the door.
Taito's head popped out of his pillow and he sat up. "…What?"
Dell opened the teen's door as he held a breakfast tray in one hand. He walked into the dark room before flicking the light switch on and heading over to the bedside table. "I made breakfast. And don't glare at me like that, you should have expected it."
He would have lied if he said the purple-haired boy didn't look adorable with his disheveled appearance. His button-up top had the first few buttons undone, showing his milky skin. Purple hair was a complete mess with his one half-lidded eye glaring at me, lips forming a small pout.
But the cutest thing was… Taito was unconsciously hugging a purple, obviously stitched together bear.
Taito flushed lightly as Dell continued to stare at him. "Quite starring," he mumbled before reaching for the tray. He was surprised how much it weighed, and it would have fallen had Dell not grabbed the other end.
"…Thanks," the boy said as Dell grabbed the tray out of his hands and set it in front of him.
Taito looked at the healthy-looking breakfast of fruit salad with plenty of plump blueberries, a glass of orange juice and a small plate of apples cut to look like bunnies.
"Wow…" He said, poking one of the apple-bunny slices, "It's…cute."
Dell averted his gaze for a moment, "Err… Sorry, I'm used to making breakfast for my sister."
An awkward moment passed between the two before Taito looked up at Dell in realization. "Wait, how did you get in here? No body's home to answer the door!"
Chuckling, Dell took out the spare key Kaito had given him. "Your brother, remember?"
Taito scowled suspiciously at the crimson-eyed workaholic, "But why did he send you of all people? No offence, but we're not exactly… the best of friends."
Dell huffed while ruffling Taito's hair. "Beats me; I'm not sure why either. Just eat and don't worry about it, okay? I'll be in the living room doing some work."
The teen nodded and grabbed and apple, biting off the bunny's "head". "Don't you need our Wi-fi password?" he asked after chewing and swallowing. By then, Dell was already at the door frame.
"Nope," the man said, smirking, "Already hacked it."
Taito raised his eyebrow in amusement. Dell wasn't half bad.
He ate his breakfast, feeling both awed and flattered that someone had made it…just for him. Smiling, he polished off the apples before eating small spoonfuls of the fruit salad.
Even if he only had – he glanced at the clock – five hours of sleep, it was still a good morning.
