The Immortal Doctor Reid: Yes, he is most certainly deader than pork. :P
~~~As always, please review!~~~
She was drawn from her room, adjacent to Kimihito's, by the enticing smell of food. The room, Kimihito had said, was for temporary usage, and seeing as it was a spare guest room, though clean, it was sparce of furnishing. Miia didn't mind it.
Seeming as she did not have an excessive amount of belongings, she was quick to neatly stack and stow them all away. So, she emerged from her room, heading for the kitchen, the delicious smell exacerbating her hunger. Could it be? Was she going to have eggs tonight?
Sure enough, Kimihito was setting up the silverware for the meal, and placing each plate of food down gently, so that they would be able to sit opposite each other. And there were eggs, and other meats!
"Perfect timing, I was just going to call you down. Have a seat!"
Since the two of them only had humble snacks and coffee, rather than a proper meal, she was ravenous. Even so, she glanced up at his flushed cheeks and mussed up hair, and a spontaneous, shy smile curled her lips. "Thank you, Kurusu-san."
"It's okay, no need to be formal." He assured, "call me something else, like Kimihito, or something else casual that interests you." He encouraged.
Miia pursed her lips in thought, settling into the seat across from him, the remainder of her tail curled, so as to reduce space. What a kind-hearted, generous boy! Miia had been awfully nervous at first, arriving alone in Japan, fearful of being spurned, frowned upon, and even discriminated against, but how lucky she was! Kimihito seemed so selfless, and went far above and beyond her own expectations. To top this off, he was quite attractive too. What good fortune!
Miia gave a mischievous grin before answering: "Darling~!"
His expression was well worth it, as he froze with, first, shock, then embarrassment. "Wha- Why-" he promptly cleared his throat, and in a hasty manner, corrected himself, having quickly recovered his wits. "R-Right... If you want... Then I'll call you Miia."
She nodded enthusiastically, content with the decision, with her hands clasped together upon the table top. This had gone better than she expected, leaving her pleased and satisfied.
For the remainder of the evening, Kimihito and Miia finished the meal, in which he was also praised as a top-notch cook several times, chattering along to comfort of the other's presence. He even invited her to head to the grocery market with him tomorrow, so that he could also show her around the city, ensuring that she would be familiar with her new surroundings in Japan. Of course, she had immediately agreed, heart racing at the prospect. It felt like it would be somewhat of a date, after all!
Miia went to bed that evening with flushed cheeks and an excited smile, anxiously awaiting the next day.
