"Yuno, wake up."
Yuno wiped his eyes on his sleeve as he slowly woke up from his opulent bed. In fact, his entire room felt exactly this- opulent, but not much else. Yuno didn't like that all too much. It was nice having his own room at first, but now he just found himself missing sleeping on the floor of the church in Hage with everybody there.
"Mimosa? You're never awake this early…" Yuno groaned, "It's always Klaus… why today?"
"Don't you remember? Today's the day we get to do joint training with the Black Bulls! You get to see Asta too!", replied Mimosa loudly, waking up Sylph.
"Who woke me up? I was sleeping!"
Sylph scanned the room, her gaze eventually focusing on Mimosa. She was furious.
"Scram- you… carrot head! You're interrupting my beauty sleep with Yuno!"
"Hahaha! Sylph is so cute even when she's angry like that! Take care of her well, Yuno," said Mimosa, brushing Sylph off.
Yuno chuckled.
"Hah, impossible."
His wry catchphrase usage was definitely on-point today.
"HEY!", screamed Sylph in response, flying over to Yuno to pinch his right cheek.
"I wonder if Asta's gotten any stronger… I'm excited- Why did I forget about this?" Yuno seemed to be thinking very seriously, hand wrapped around his chin- but the weight of the situation was all but removed with Sylph pulling on Yuno's surprisingly elastic cheek.
It was a funny situation, and Mimosa couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, Mimosa, you're up already? Surprising, you're never up this early."
It was Klaus, sans his square framed glasses, wearing a fluffy baby blue sleeping gown. He was squinting, and slouching in a decidedly inelegant, and therefore decidedly un-Klaus-like fashion. It was all very strange to Mimosa- first seeing Yuno sleeping in on a day that he gets to see Asta of all people, and then Klaus looking like… this.
"Before you ask that, Klaus- are you sure that you're alright?"
Mimosa was already chuckling as she was talking.
"I… can't say so." Klaus sighed.
"The Black Bulls are fine, even if they may not be nobility- Asta especially; I like Asta… but Yami Sukehiro… that man… he terrifies me."
Yuno snorted in the background, the accidental force knocking Sylph off his cheek. Klaus was so serious… he was obviously losing sleep over Yami.
"Is he really that scary?" Mimosa asked, genuinely interested, but still smirking.
"He-" Klaus reached up to his nose to adjust his glasses, hand shuddering. Upon realizing that he had no glasses on, he swiftly returned his hand behind his back, making Mimosa chuckle.
Klaus cleared his throat.
"He… seems scary."
An awkward silence followed- Mimosa and Yuno were clearly expecting a bit more. Then the laughter started. First it was Yuno, who made an accidental snort that quickly turned into laughter, and as you know, laughter is contagious, so Mimosa and Sylph quickly followed, the loudness of their combined laughter waking the entire squad up.
Klaus sighed.
It was the start of a very eventful day.
Author's note: Super short update, I know (sorry), but I've been pretty busy lately. Well, about the story, it's not just Asta and the Black Bulls that exist in this world, all of the other squads do too! Would be unfair not to include any of them.
Also, thanks for the feedback from last chapter! I didn't think that my English was exactly up to snuff in terms of (especially) grammar.
Also, the answer to that question: my first language is Japanese!
そうで～す、日本人で～すｗｗｗｗ
