You waited nearly seven hours at Chuuya's dorm for him. You got a call at 4:00 a.m., evidently, Chuuya needed further assistance going to his dorm because he had taken an opioid and wasn't acting normally at all.

You dashed down to the lower levels, thanked those who had assisted Chuuya, and then placed Chuuya's arm around yours to aid him in walking. But he was such a nuisance, he was moving around so much that he almost knocked both of you over.

You

"Chuuya- You literally just got stabbed... I get it you were drugged with an opioid, but how strong was it?!"

Chuuya

"As strong as a... A..."

You lifted him up off the ground, but he began laughing hysterically and didn't stop until he returned to the dorm.

You

"Jeez, Chuuya."

Chuuya

"Jeeeeeeez!..."

You

"Yeah, exactly."

He wouldn't stop slouching even if you gently placed him on the couch.

You

"Chuuya- At least try getting some sleep!"

Chuuya

"Sleep!... Isn't important..."

You

"You know what- Chuuya, I'm going to shower. You stay here."

Chuuya

"Fine!... Be that way then..."

You sighed and wiped your face with your palms before retrieving a few items and your towel from your luggage and searching for the bathroom.

Chuuya

"How about... We- We shower together?..."

You

"Chuuya?!"

Chuuya

"Come on! It will- Save time!... And... You've got a... Whatever it's called on your leg."

You

"Chuuya, it's fine, I'll wash the wound out myself. For now, focus on getting rest, please."

Chuuya arose drowsily from his slumber on the couch and went up to you, getting fairly... close to your face.

Chuuya

"Ye-Yeah... Let's shower together!... A... Bubble bath... Yea-"

With his hand, he gripped the point of your chin. You thought it was funny how he said all these things. Chuuya, Chuuya Nakahara, was asking for a bubble bath with his assistant, with whom he had only worked for one day. Not even a day - A single night.

You

"Hm, I didn't know you were into those kinds of things, Chuuya."

You continued to the restroom while moving his hand away from your face. Soon enough, you finished doing what you needed to do in the bathroom.

Chuuya was deep sleeping on the ground when you opened the door. He was apparently resting his head on the bathroom door, and when you opened it, he fell right over.

You

"Jeez Chuuya, you scared me."

His heavy snores were all you could hear from him. You hadn't spent the night with him before, so you weren't expecting him to snore that loudly.

He had finally fallen asleep. You no longer had to deal with him. Chuuya was practically dragged across the ground by his leg, and then thrown onto his bed.

You then dusted your hands and thought about where you were going to sleep. The kitchen floor was the only place you'd ever slept.

But, even though you'd just cleaned yourself, you didn't want to sleep on that musty ass floor, which you'd previously scrubbed several times. You'd think sleeping on the couch wouldn't be such a problem... Chuuya had already been drugged, nothing bad would happen.

You got up quite early in the morning to get ready for the day. You're looking forward to working with Chuuya now that he's accepted you as his assistant.

Chuuya went out of his room, wiping his eyes and seemed absolutely out of it.

The first thing he saw was you cleaning again, although you had previously done it for 4+ hours over the week, each day.

Chuuya

"... Isn't the place clean enough already?"

He spoke in a slurred voice, he was still exhausted.

You

"No. There are still specks of dust all around the place, you can't see them?"

Chuuya

"Pfft, no. I don't even dust the place."

You

"Oh. That explains why there's so much dust then... What are the plans for today? Has the boss assigned us a new task?"

Chuuya

"Huh?... Us?... Who said that we'd be doing tasks together?!"

You

"Huh?! You're kidding!... I thought you'd already accepted me as your assistant! What happened?"

Chuuya

"Since when did I say that?!"

You

"I mean... You didn't say it, but it was definitely implied."

Chuuya

"Aha! But I didn't say it, did I?"

You

"Oh my- Come on Chuuya! I know how full of myself I'm going to sound right now, but without me, you would've died out there last night."

Chuuya

"Hey- I wouldn't have needed your help if there wasn't poison coated on the blade."

You

"Well there was poison on the blade, and I'm the one who brought you here to get the poison out of your system."

Chuuya

"..."

You

"Oh, let's not forget what you were begging for last night."

Chuuya

"I was drugged, okay?! I would never want a bubble bath!"

You

"Hah! So you still remember!"

Chuuya

"... Y'know what- Let's just stay here. I'm so exhausted, I don't think I can do a mission today."

You

"Are you trying to change the subject?..."

Chuuya

"Well, no shit!... Just... Contact the boss for me or something."

You

"See, you're giving me orders! Just accept me as your assistant."

Chuuya

"Hmph, I'll accept you as my assistant when we successfully complete a mission the next time I'm ready."

You

"Is that so?..."

Chuuya

"Yes."

You

"Do you promise?"

Chuuya

"What is this?! You sound like you're 4!"

You

"Hey- I still would like it if you made a promise!"

Chuuya

"...!"

You

"So?!"

Chuuya

"Okay!... I promise..."

You

"You promise that..."

Chuuya

*Sigh* "I promise that... I'll accept you as my assistant if the two of us can complete a mission together."

You

"That's what I like to hear!"

Chuuya

"Hmph."

Chuuya flung himself onto the sofa, turned on the television, and browsed through the stations while lying on his stomach.

You

"Here. Have breakfast."

Chuuya

"Oh! You know how to make those?!"

You

"... Chuuya. Those are pancakes. Anyone can make them."

Chuuya

"Really?... I always burn mine and give up."

You

"What do you have for breakfast then?..."

Chuuya

"I go out to buy it. But if I'm too lazy to go out to buy it, I just skip breakfast."

You

"Well... You won't have to do that anymore now that you've got me."

Chuuya

"You can cook?..."

You

"Yes."

Chuuya

"Clean?"

You

"Yes."

Chuuya

"Wow."

You

"Yes, wow."

Chuuya was beginning to consider his decision to erase all he'd said to you.

You

"Now if you don't like it, just tell me and I'll make something else."

You set a dish of pancakes on the table, along with a bottle of syrup and neatly positioned silverware. You then walked away to the stove to turn it off and clean up the kitchen.

Chuuya sat there staring at you as you cleaned up the mess; he hadn't seen you clean since he left and hadn't returned for a week. He was kind of amazed.

He then began to eat the pancakes.

There were still two pancakes on his plate when you picked it up to clean it.

You

"Did you get full?"

Chuuya

"... They're for you."

He said this while distancing his gaze from you. His attention was fixed on the television, where he was watching the news.

You

"You saved them for me?"

Chuuya

"Mhm."

You stared at him for a while, his head resting on the couch's armrests and the rest of his body taking up the overall space.

You sat in front of him on the ground, your legs crisscrossed under the table, and began eating. The two of you caught up on what was being shown on the news.
