"Morning, Yu!" Lavi grinned, setting his breakfast tray across from Kanda's seat at the table.

"Che. Don't call me that if you value your life."

"Aw, come on, Yu. Lighten up!"

A pair of chopsticks appeared in his face, the menacing glare of the samurai not far behind.

"Listen closely, idiot. I know fourteen different ways to kill someone with chopsticks and at the moment, it is highly tempting to try them all out this morning. So. Don't. Call. Me. That."

Suddenly aware of how close their faces were, Lavi leaned back with a cocky grin.

"Aww… Someone's upset about being on the naughty list this year, eh, Yu?"

With an exasperated sigh, Kanda resumed eating his now-cold soba, attempting to ignore the redhead. /I will NOT let him get to me…/
