A/N: I'll be busy for the next few months. Well, being busy never stop me from writing... And I know I've been writing for Ace Attorney lately whoops.
I'm not sure when I will update next. For now, have something I've written three years ago, which is in this story's universe after the typhoon hit Iwatodai.
"Are you feeling any better, Minato-kun?" Ikutsuki grinned. "... I was going to inquire earlier, but I thought you might be 'sick' of everyone asking you if you're sick." He bent down and laughed.
"I'm fine. Thanks," Minato said.
"That is good to hear. Please take care of yourself-AH-CHOO!"
"Take care of yourself first, Ikutsuki-san." Aigis patted him in the back.
Minato raised his eyebrows. "You are quite nice to him."
"Of course," Aigis said. "Ikutsuki-san has been taking care of me for a long time."
Shinjiro cringed. He hated this guy's gut. "You're here today, still cracking these lame jokes."
Minato and Aigis glared at him.
"His jokes are the worst," Shinjiro continued anyway. "So lame."
"Shinjiro…" No, Minato, being stared down by someone shorter is not scary. "Puns are not lame. All wordplay has the beauty of their own."
"To me, it's lame."
Aigis stepped forward. "Minato-san does not only enjoy puns. He appreciates all kinds of wordplay."
Minato shrugged. "No use, Aigis. He just doesn't understand how much pleasure wordplay can offer."
"I don't care," Shinjiro said.
"He's not talking to you," Aigis said.
Koromaru whined.
"He said, 'Ikutsuki-san smells like medicine and iron.' Koromaru-san doesn't like it." Aigis said.
Shinjiro thought for a moment, then turned around and headed to the door. "Koro."
"Arf!" The white dog followed the beanie guy, and looked back at Minato as if to say 'Ikutsuki or Shinjiro, choose!'
Aigis stared at the fluffy tail and nodded. "He said, 'Ikutsuki or Shin-'"
Minato quickly followed them, without a second thought.
Ikutsuki sighed. "He chooses a dog over me, huh."
Aigis looked at them leaving. "Between puns and paws, he chooses paws."
