The morning came all too soon. The light streaming in through Kengo's window woke him. He yawned and stretched a bit but froze half way through getting his arm stretched above his head when he realized there was an added weight on his chest. Now he wasn't going to look because he knew it couldn't be what he thought it was. He'd done the polite thing and took the floor so his guest could sleep on the bed....there was no reason his guest would sleep on the floor with him.
However, contrary to what he told himself that didn't remove the sleeping shin from leaning against him. An odd sight really. The one-eyed, one-armed grouch suddenly looking peaceful...till he scowled, snorted a bit, nuzzled his head into the pillow and gave a small snort of seeming satisfaction. Yes, he was definitely asleep....but he was a rather odd sleeper. What a bummer, he'd though Nanaya would be one of those cute sleepers that looked all sweet and defenseless in his sleep. Instead he only briefly looked peaceful before continuing to make frowns and mumbles in his sleep. Comedic to say the least.
Now came the most difficult decision he had to make in all his teenage years. Get up and make breakfast....or continue laying there with the sleeping man leaning against him and risk what would happen when he woke up. Chances were he would be none too pleased to have Kengo touching him. He didn't seem like the cuddly sort when awake...
Before Kengo could make the life saving decision however, the smaller man began to stir. He slowly pulled away from Kengo, the constant pout returned to his lips, and a somewhat irate frown. Oh how Kengo prayed that was merely that he wasn't a morning person.
"Ah....wh-why didja come crawl in with me when I made up the bed for you?" he asked after a moment.
Nanaya looked at him curiously for a moment before pursing his lips. "Because, sleeping with my back to you is one way of making sure no one will sneak up from behind me."
Oh poor little Nanaya, so unaware that there was a different sort of threat at his back when sleeping with his back to the high schooler. Of course the guilt in that thought hit Kengo hard enough to make him fidget awkwardly and sheepishly chuckle. "But...the bed is against the wall, isn't that better to keep your back against?"
Again Nanaya gave him a strange look Kengo couldn't figure. It was almost like he thought Kengo stupid for thinking that way. That was too odd though since he'd figured him as someone that wouldn't touch others even if it killed him! Perhaps Nanaya was a cuddly person?
Of course that assumption was soon disputed when Nanaya gave him a light bonk on the head and got up, sitting on the edge of the bed. He remained silent a few moments, simply staring at Kengo. However the fool boy remained oblivious as to why till he heard the angry rumble that came from Nanaya's stomach.
Really now, the irate man really didn't seem the sort to do such cute things, regardless how unintentional it was...it was still adorable in his own unique way.
"I'll go make us breakfast," Kengo said as he stood. He went to the door, the short shin following just behind him. Apparently he wanted to go to the kitchen as well. The two headed downstairs only to find Mayu with breakfast ready. However the look was not one of her usual cheer when a cute boy entered the threshold. Instead she had a rather diabolical look directed at Kengo, an odd suspicious grin spread from ear to ear.
"Nana, keep an eye on this for a second!" she said, thrusting a spatula into Nanaya's left hand, not waiting for him to come up with a proper retort to this new....odd nickname before she grabbed Kengo and hauled him up the stairs again.
Kengo narrowed his eyes at his sister, pursing his lips a little as he looked at her. "Nana?" he asked in a dubious tone.
She brushed it aside as she went to her room. She came back out a moment later with a stack of manga. She gave a heavy hearted sigh and looked seriously at her sweet little brother. "Now, I know you have no experience in this sort of thing," she began, easing her serious look to a warm sisterly look. "This is my most precious collection, use it well!" she chimed, shoving the stack of books into Kengo's arms before running off giggling like mad.
Kengo stood there a moment as he watched his sister till she disappeared. He glanced at one of the books. Flipped it open. Leafed through a couple--
His expression dropped along with his jaw. He tossed them callously back into Mayu's room and hurdled down the stairs. "It's not like that!" he choked out.
"Hm? But you and Nana looked so cute cuddling last night," she mused thoughtfully. "Well when you're ready you can borrow them any time," she said happily before returning to the kitchen, taking the spatula back from Nanaya.
Too much....his sister was too terrible...shouldn't she be opposed to him walking down a dangerous path? Even if it wasn't like that...but shouldn't she be at least somewhat against him being with the shin? Sure Nanaya seemed pretty harmless. Awkward, yes, but otherwise relatively harmless. Though that was because both he and his sister figured; how much damage could a man missing an eye and an arm....and a lot of blood, actually do? Perhaps they weren't being careful....but Nanaya made no inkling of trying to attack either of them.
"If my sister says anything weird, just ignore her," he muttered, leaning over to Nanaya.
Nanaya looked at him curiously but shrugged it off, seeming to think a big old 'whatever' of it. Perhaps he'd learn why to ignore her after she said or did something weird.
It was a first for Nanya. All three of them sitting down at the table like some kind of warm, loving family to eat breakfast. It was odd....he was used to sitting in his room leaving only when he needed to. Of course with the obnoxious little brats around it was for a good reason that he never left his room otherwise. That randomly attacking people was only because he'd gotten too bored cooped up in his room. Apparently losing his arm was retribution for that since he seemed to have been forgiven when the human found him and took him in.
The house was almost somewhere he'd consider staying till he was kicked out. They were odd, very odd....but they didn't ask him about himself or to explain why he was there or how he'd lost his arm or who had attacked him...he liked them not trying to pester such answers out of him.
"Why Nana?" he asked after a moment.
Kengo and Mayu both choked on bites of food. Kengo frowned at his sister, but she only giggled, seemingly amused by it. "What, has no one given you a nickname before?"
"No."
Both siblings looked curiously at each other before looking back to Nanaya. "Ah, just ignore Mayu, she's weird," Kengo reasoned with a grin, earning another bonk on the head. However both bonks that morning were nothing like the usual ones he received from Aya and Akira, something for which he was eternally grateful.
Mayu frowned at Kengo again before looking to Nanaya and saying, "Anyway, Nana, if you have nowhere else to go you're welcome to stay here as long as you'd like."
He silently nodded and stared down at the plate. Well, he'd just have to see how long it took to heal. He probably wouldn't be welcomed back with Homurabi....but it wasn't like he had anywhere else to call home. Taking the siblings up on their offer certainly wouldn't be the worst idea...but most likely they'd get bored of him and throw him out. But till then it'd be a good place to stay. Warm house, food, comfortable sleeping.....yea, if Nanaya was welcome even for a week it'd be a decent place to stay. After they were sick of him he could find somewhere new to stay.
"Sure," he said finally. "You can kick me out whenever you want."
Both siblings looked dubiously at one another before back to Nanaya. What an odd fellow...
Homigawd.....I so did not think I would have fans of this shinanigans X-x;;; Perhaps I'm not the only one that would be more pleased with Kengo and/or Nanaya as main characters instead of Akira and Shirogane xD
