"Shihhhhnnnaaa, I'm hungry!" Zelos whined as they walked back to Zelos' mansion. "But you ate before we went!" Shihna pointed out as Zelos tugged on her sash. "But it's dinner time!"

"You're such a little kid!" Shihna yelled, yanking her sash away from Zelos' hands. "Then I can call you mommy and have you take care of me," Zelos said, snuggling up to Shihna. "W-what?! Get away you stupid pervert!" She immediately shoved him away. "Meanie," Zelos whined. Shihna sighed. Even after joining the two worlds together she still had to be bothered by Zelos. Why did she have to be the peace emissary to Iselia? Zelos was the Chosen! Shouldn't he be the one doing this stuff? And she wouldn't mind it so much if she didn't have to see Zelos every second day. Zelos unlocked the door to his house. "It's Sebastian's day off today. Do you want to go out to eat?"

"It's an unhealthy habit to go out to eat whenever your butler is off duty," Shihna said. "Then what are we going to eat?" Zelos asked, his cheerful mood not changing. "I'll cook, then," Shihna said, sighing. "Oooh...so you don't want to be my mother, you want to be my lovely, housewife instead!" His...housewife?! "You-" Zelos was already running inside the house. "You idiot!" She chased him inside, slamming the door closed behind her. "Come back here, you cowardly-" She crashed into Zelos. "Oomph. That hurt my hunny," Zelos said, wrapping his arms around her waist. "But you're so cu-" Shihna smacked him in the head. "Get away, you idiot!" Zelos immediately let go of her and rubbed his head. "Ow!"

"Hmph!" Shihna turned away from him and walked towards the kitchen. "Now, now my voluptuous hunny you don't have to be all huffy!" Zelos whined. Shihna ignored him and looked inside his fridge. "Hmm..." She looked around. "Curry it is..." She took the ingredients out of the fridge and laid them out on the counter. "Making curry, Shihna?" Zelos asked, eyeing the ingredients. Shihna continued ignoring him, shut the fridge door and looked into one of Zelos' cupboards. "Red satay..." Zelos wondered about how much time Shihna spent in his kitchen. How could she know where all this stuff was? "Found it." She pulled it out, triumphantly. "Shihna, you're not one of those rabid stalkers that memorize the contents of my house, right?" Zelos asked. "Of course not," Shihna replied. "What makes you think that?"

"You're going through my kitchen as if you live here," Zelos said as Shihna took out a knife to cut the onions with. (She wouldn't cut Zelos with it!) "Well, I'm here a lot," Shihna said placing an onion on the cutting board. "Hm Hmn! So it's like your home away from home and I'm your-" "It's not like that!" Shihna protested. "Hmm...you don't have to deny it, hunny. You know it's the truth!"

"No it's not!" There was no way this would be her home away from home! She-"Be careful with that knife, Shihna. I'm scared you're going to cut yourself." Shihna looked down at the knife she was holding. "Oh...yeah." Why was she the one who always lost her cool? She returned to cutting the onion. Zelos leaned on the counter. "Are you mad at me, Shihna?" Shihna shook her head. "Just slightly annoyed...that's all."

"Hmmm..." Zelos looked up at the clock. "Do you think-" "Ow." Shihna put down the knife and looked at her finger. How could she accidentally cut herself like that? "Shihna? Are you okay?" Zelos walked up to her and took ahold of her hand. "It's just a little cut. It's nothing," Shihna said, trying to pull her hand away from Zelos. "No, it isn't!" Zelos reached over to a drawer and took out a band-aid. "You should be more careful," Zelos said wrapping the band-aid around her finger. Shihna nodded, surprised by how gentle he was. When was the last time she saw him like this? He was all gentle and...and nice. "All done," Zelos said, kissing her hand. "Th-thanks." Since when was he such a gentleman? He was supposed to obnoxious and annoying...not like this. "We should hurry up or we won't be able to get any dinner tonight," Zelos stated. "Yeah..."

The rest of the cooking process went without a problem. Shihna sighed as she sat down in her chair diagonally across from Zelos'. "Smells good," Zelos said, looking down at his plate of curry. "Taste testing time!" He picked up his spoon and dug into it. "Mmm! It's good!"

"You're getting it everywhere, Zelos," Shihna pointed out. "That's fine. I can just have you clean it," Zelos said. "I'm not your maid!" Shihna yelled. "But you're my cute little housewife," Zelos stated, as if they were truly a married couple. "I'm not your housewife!" Throughout the whole night Shihna tried to convince Zelos that she wasn't his housewife and that their relationship was nothing close to such a thing. But no matter what Zelos stubbornly refused to stop calling her that. But strangely enough...Shihna looked down at the band-aid around her finger. She was happy...spending time with Zelos even though she had wanted nothing to deal with him before.

That was just...screwed up. XD I kinda built the whole thing around the band-aid scene. I was pretty much winging it for the rest of it. So I'm sorry (again). But...Zelos was so cute. XD Shihna was so cute too. Yay.
