Chapter 4
Cold water cascaded down Subaru's naked body. Seishiro's words were still echoing in his mind; there was clearly an underlying meaning to them.
"You should learn to watch your drinks"
Obviously they had been drugged. But Subaru couldn't remember anything about that night at all. Had Seishiro tampered with his memory again? Something had to be done. And it was going to involve Seishiro whether he liked it or not. He sighed, why did life have to be so ironic? The person he tried to escape from was the person he kept bumping into most.
Subaru stepped out of the shower. Without looking, he reached over to grab what he thought was a towel and was about to use it when it went;
"OUCH. SUBARU. WATCH WHAT YOU'RE GRABBING. THAT WAS MY HAIR"
Yes, it was none other than the infamous Kamui. Known for notoriously harassing waffle vendors, he now had something else to add to his reputation; barging into bathrooms while people were showering.
"Kamui, what are you doing in my bathroom, while I'm in the middle of my shower?"
"I didn't feel like staying at the mansion, can't I stay here?"
"Well… Wait for me outside okay?"
"Thank you Subaru!! By the way, you have nice legs."
"He does doesn't he? But you forgot to mention he has a nice body as well."
"SEISHIRO-SAN! What… What are you doing here?!?"
"Simply returning your coat and a few other possessions, and when I saw the door open, I let myself in."
"Oh okay then. No, wait. EVERYONE, GET OUT OF MY BATHROOM"
Subaru hurriedly closed the door, dried himself and got changed. Upon entering the living room, he saw his two most precious people staring at each other. If looks could kill, they would probably be dead.
"Subaru, come sit next to me." Said Seishiro, adding a smile.
"No Subaru, you should sit next to me." Said Kamui, glaring at Seishiro.
"I'm quite sure he'll want to sit with his lover." Said Seishiro
Subaru sighed. Obviously this wasn't going to end well if he sat with, or even near either one of them, so hopefully, he thought, choosing a seat in a mutual position; in between the two of them, would keep them satisfied. Luckily it did. For a while anyways.
He let out another sigh, then began "Seishiro-san, if you only came to return my coat, why did you come empty handed? And Kamui, you're welcome to stay here, but you'll have to sleep on the sofa, but really, the mansion would be much more comfortable considering how small my apartment is..."
"YESSSS! THANK YOU SUBARU!! I'LL GO UNPACK RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Kamui, as he jumped up from his seat and raced to Subaru's room. Where he fell asleep immediately.
"Subaruuu~ Why is he staying here? Why didn't you invite me?!"
"Seishrio-san, you have your own apartment, and you haven't answered my question yet"
"But its much more fun being with someone, especially with you."
"Well yes I suppose having some company is good. HEY WAIT, don't avoid my question"
"Alright then, I'll tell you why I came… If you let me stay here too."
"SEISHIRO-SAN! You know there isn't enough room! Where are you going to sleep?"
"In your bed, with you of course."
Subaru sighed yet again. People could be frustrating, and with Seishiro, he knew he could never get his way. Somewhat reluctantly, he nodded his approval, and went to find any bottles of alcohol, and anything that could be remotely used as a drug and put them away, even though he knew in reality, no place was safe.
"Fine, you can stay, now please tell me why you came, and what really happened that night we became so drunk."
Seishiro chuckled darkly. "Don't worry, I will, all in good time, that is. After all they say "patience is a virtue," and "Good things come to those who wait," after all."
And with that, he picked up a newspaper lying on the table, and began reading.
A couple hours later, Kamui awoke from his slumber, and the first thing he did was complain about how hungry he was.
"Subaru… I'm hun-"
"Let me guess, your hungry, and haven't eaten since lunch?" Said Subaru
"Exactly~! That why, when are we going to eat dinner?" Answered Kamui
"Yes, Subaru, why not dazzle us with your cooking" Said Seishiro, who was sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper.
Subaru walked over to his fridge and took out three microwave dinners, and laid them out onto the counter.
"Subaru, I said dazzle us with your cooking, not; dazzle us by heating up microwave dinners!" Said Seishiro, looking over his paper.
"Seishiro-san, as you can see, my fridge is nearly empty, there's nothing to cook." Said Subaru, walking over to his fridge and opening it for all to see.
"Yeah Subaru, even I don't want to eat microwave dinners. Sorata always burns them" Whined Kamui.
"Firstly, Subaru isn't Sorata. But I must say, the brat has a point; we don't want to eat microwave dinners. So what are you going to do Subaru?" Said Seishiro, still reading his paper.
"Fine, we'll go out."
