Chapter 25: Hammering Down
Ms. Kayama, or Midnight, didn't like the way her neighborhood downtown was changing. It was hardly the sort of place for a wild and drunken night on the town, so she made the rash decision to cancel her apartment's lease early and move somewhere much cooler.
The moving men were late, though, so Midnight talked Aizawa and Present Mic into helping out. She didn't have a lot of furniture, but some of it...
"... is really heavy! Yee-ow!" Present Mic whined as he and Aizawa painfully eased a couch down the stairs. Present Mic felt like his arms would pop out of their sockets.
"Do you have lead bricks under the cushions?" Aizawa grumbled as they reached the second floor landing.
"Mmmmm... maybe a few thousand yen's worth of change," Midnight said with a flirty wink.
"Hey, that's a whole lunch right there," Present Mic realized. "Couch lunch!"
Aizawa nearly threw up in his mouth. "Don't say that phrase again."
On and on it went, with Ms. Kayama's massive king-sized bed with antique wooden frames, a thick-as-hell mattress, and some furniture Aizawa didn't even know the function for. Dark gray clouds assembled overhead as they assembled Midnight's stuff at the curb.
Midnight got off the phone and beamed. "Okay, the moving truck is almost here! Thank you so much for your help, boys -"
Thunder boomed, and the rain came hammering down.
"Eeeeek! My stuff!" Midnight threw herself onto the bed to shield it from the rain, but it was no good.
"You got an umbrella?" Present Mic implored Aizawa.
"No, sorry."
Midnight sobbed over her ruined furniture until Aizawa gently put his hands on her shoulder. "We'll help pay for a new mattress and everything. All right?"
Midnight sniffed and nodded.
"And I'll head down to that convenience store to get us some umbrellas."
Midnight nodded again.
"And I'll get a six-pack of fine beers."
Midnight sprang into an upright position on the rain-soaked mattress. "Hooray! Thank you!"
