Sena's POV
Chapter 9... Contagious Laughter
Laying the futons out for Habashira-san and Hiruma, I could smell dinner being cooked. Since my parents went on vacation a couple days ago, Hiruma is making dinner for us. I mean, how else would I have gotten away with having Hiruma over and arriving home in the morning?
"Hiruma, what'cha cooking?" I called.
"Why don't you come look, fucking angel?" Hiruma purred in response.
Blushing, I finished setting up the futons quickly and went to observe. Stepping into the kitchen, my face became redder than red for like the twentieth time today, steam bursting from my ears. Then, I saw. Hiruma was wearing that same apron from this morning. At first, though, I thought he wasn't wearing anything underneath. Then I saw the black briefs. Embarrassed by my dirty thoughts, I limped over to Hiruma's side and took in the sight.
"Ah... He's cooking Nikujaga..." I sighed, inhaling the heavenly smell.
"Kekeke. You like it?" Hiruma purred next to my ear.
Jumping out of my skin, the red rose bloomed on my face and I nodded fervently.
"Kekeke. Wanna try some?" Hiruma offered a saucer with a little bit of everything on it to me.
I nodded, gratefully taking the saucer and trying the food.
"Uwah~!" I sighed. "You're amazing Hiruma!" I exclaimed, dropping to my hands and knees. "Please cook for me forever."
There was a moment of silence before Hiruma started laughing uncontrollably.
"Hahahaha~! F-fucking angel, you- haha! You're too fu- hahaha- funny!"
His laughter slowly changed into giggled before it became controllable chuckles.
"Kekeke." He chuckled, placing his hand on my head. "Stay gold, Sena."
Hiruma's smile was a softer one compared to his normal devilish grins. It felt nice having him smile at me like that, kinda warmed my heart, ya know? Though, I guess I also felt a slight chill run through me. Not the creeped out or scared kind. It was a little bit... different.
When the food was done and the table set, we all thanked Hiruma for the food and dug in. Habashira-san and Hiruma seemed to know eachother a lot. They were talking like it. Only, Hiruma kept calling Habashira-san "Zokugaku."
"Hiruma, why do you call Habashira-san "Zokugaku"?" I asked abruptly.
"Hm? Well, that's the school he goes to on Earth." Hiruma explained.
"So he's not a demon?" I asked, suddenly getting a little confused.
"Nah, it's for a project." Habashira-san clarified. "I'm a demon."
"Oh, I see."
I nodded, picking up a piece of meat with my chopsticks. Raising it to my mouth, though, I accidentally knocked it out of my grip and it fell back onto the plate after a little bit of panicking on my part.
"Kekekeke!" Hiruma giggled. "Idiot."
He almost took a napkin into hand, but instead just raised his hand to my face and wiped the sauce off it. His eyes never left mine as he licked it off his thumb.
I whispered a quiet thank you as my face grew hot, the series of thoughts that made the red rose blossom on my face throughout the day rolling through my brain. It was so crazy! Hiruma had made me blush all day long, and only now did I realize it!
"Ahaha!" I started giggling as I was shoveling rice into my mouth, the uncontrollable laughter bubbling up.
Laughing too hard, I dropped my chopsticks and raised my head away from my rice bowl, allowing the laughter to exit freely.
Coming out of the extreme guffaw, I wiped the tears that came with it away, settling down and clapping my hands back together.
"Thank you for the food, Hiruma!" I cheered.
I started laughing again by accident, only this time Hiruma started laughing as well. Habashira-san got caught by the contagiousness of laughter not long after Hiruma started laughing. It was the most I've laughed in a while.
:
Well, wasn't that cute? Heh. I just realized. They didn't even get to finish dinner... Well. I hope the laughter infected you, too! XD Comment, please~!
