Allen walked downstairs the next day.

And encountered a sleeping Kanda.

Oh…he didn't even sleep on the couch. What in the world were they taught in that place?

He felt pity sting his heart. His slave was just curled up on the carpet—the blanket he'd given him neatly folded on the couch.

Kanda must've heard Allen's footsteps for his eyes flew open and he immediately
sat up in habit.

"Oh…I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

"Tch. I woke up because I wanted to."

"I-I'll go make breakfast."

"No need." Kanda said with a slight 'Tch'.

He got up and began to cook.

Allen sat dumbfounded.

Kanda could cook?

This brought a weak smile to Allen's face.

The two sat by a large glass window and began to eat breakfast.

Kanda had prepared:

-Soba

-Shrimp and Potato Tempura

-glasses of green tea.

Allen sat in his chair—stunned.

It looked…delicious.

"Well? Aren't you going to eat?' Kanda asked sardonically.

"Ah! Yes I will!" Allen cried in surprise, shoving food down his throat.

Allen hummed contentedly. It tasted so good…

"Mmmh.." his eyes slid closed.

For the first time, this brought a light pink dust to Kanda's face, but he quickly shook it off.

He began to eat as well. For a while the two ate in silence.

"Thank you for the meal." He said politely.

He sat still though, because he didn't think it respectful to get up and leave.

Even if it was his slave.

Allen sighed quietly and closed his eyes.

"Look. I'm sorry I just walked out on you last time. And just so you know. I have a room for you upstairs, so please don't sleep on the floor. You're with me now, so don't worry."

"Tch. Only losers apologize." Thank you…so much, for the room master.

"Hey, I pay for you, offer you a room, and all you have to say for it is—mmph!?!"

Allen squeaked, but it was lost in the other boy's lips.

Thank you master. Thank you.

Kanda slowly pulled away, a clear strand of saliva connecting their slightly agape mouths.

Allen had nothing to say.

What was that for?!

"I…" Allen lost any words that he could possibly find.

"Tch. You talk too much."

This caused Allen's cheeks to grow pink….er.
