"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The scream startled Abe so much he jumped and fell right off his chair, landing on his back like a turtle. He grimaced and got up just in time to be knocked over by a blur of ginger hair and flailing limbs. "ABE-KUN ABE-KUN ABE-KUN ABE-KUN ABEEEEE-KUUUNNNN!"
Abe got to his feet with an irritated look and peered around to find Mihashi clinging to his back like a koala, arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders and legs around his middle, amber eyes wide with terror. "What?" he said in an annoyed tone, glaring at his frightened pitcher. The boy's lip was trembling, and his eyes were shining, threatening to tear up. "S-s-s-sp-sp-spi-sp-spi—"
"Spit it out!" Abe ordered, annoyed by the ginger-haired boy's stammering.
Mihashi squeezed his eyes shut in fear. "SPIDER!"
Silence, until... "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Abe yelled, throwing up his hands with a look of utter irritation on his reddening face. "Mihashi, I swear to God!"
The pitcher stammered an apology, and Abe tried to lower his voice, realizing he was shouting again. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm down. "Okay." He let out a sharp breath, shoulders squaring. "Okay. Where is it?"
"The b-b-bathroom," Mihashi whispered, hiding his face in Abe's shoulder. He was still clinging on to him like a sloth on a tree branch. "We have to g-g-get it."
Abe sighed again and started walking, trying not to throw Mihashi over his head like a sack of flower. He ducked into the bathroom, which was lit brightly by the sun streaming through the skylight in the ceiling. He peered around for the aforementioned spider, squinting in sinks and peering in corners. Finally, he found it in a web in a high corner, and—with little to no ceremony—reached up and plucked it off the web, lifting it up by a single leg and heading into the hallway.
Mihashi's head had moved to his other shoulder to be farther away from the spider, and Abe's brow quirked in annoyance as he opened up a window and carefully set the spider outside, where it quickly scurried away. He closed it again and looked back at the pitcher still attached to his back. "There, it's gone."
Carefully, with the utmost care and hesitation, Mihashi lowered his feet to the ground and released Abe, clinging to the hem of his shirt and nearly pressing his face against the window as he looked outside as if to make sure the creature was gone. Seemingly satisfied, he gave Abe a wide, bright smile. "Thank you, Abe-kun!"
Abe blushed and scratched at his cheek, suddenly shy. "No problem..." he muttered, spinning on his heel. "Just... don't shout like that again."
"I won't!" And the boy was off, skipping happily back down the hallway now that his spider issue was dealt with, leaving Abe standing in the hallway, blushing. "What an idiot..." he muttered to himself, trudging back down the hallway to his room, but not quite able to get rid of the blush still lingering on his cheeks.
