It was a typical day for Gakushū and Karma. It was Gakushū's day off so he took it easy, he was still in bed.

It was rare for Gakushū to sleep in, so he takes advantage of his days off and sleeps until noon.

Eventually, the young man got up, and rubbed his eyes, the bright sun was almost blinding from the large window.

"Had a good sleep Gakushū?" Karma greeted with a smile.

Just the sight of his precious robot was enough to give him heart palpitations. He smiled back at his AI companion, "Good morning Karma, and yes, I did" he got up from bed and kissed Karma's cheek. "Can I have an English style breakfast?"

"You got it" the red haired robot went to work on preparing his desired breakfast.

"Gakushū, we're low on required ingredients" Karma informed him, opening the cupboards.

"We can go to the supermarket" Gakushū said simply. "I should get some walking done, five straight days of just sitting on a chair in a room of noisy brats is bad for my health anyway"

"Would you like me to give you a massage afterwards?" Karma offered.

"Of course Karma!" Gakushū couldn't help but sigh with content. This was the life of his dreams.

After dealing with his brats all day at school, he has a wonderful perso--er, AI, to greet him at the door. Warm, home cooked meals, a person to talk to who agrees with almost everything with him. Karma also occasionally pranks him whenever the AI is feeling mischievous.

Once the AI mixed his food with something spicy, and replaced his water with vinegar.

He was angry but, the amused expression on his robot---it wasn't artificial, it looked so genuine that Gakushū had thought maybe Karma was developing real human emotions.

He knew that was impossible though but hey, a guy can dream right?

Gakushū and Karma went to the local supermarket. Gakushū was pushing the cart while the AI was picking out food and drinks that Gakushū liked and preferred. They looked like a married couple as they shopped.

The two were in the middle of picking out milk and butter

"Hey Asano-kun!" two familiar male voices greeted him. Gakushū froze and inwardly groaned "No!"

He looked, and saw Ren, Nagisa, and Isogai together. The three were holding cups of coffee, while pushing their own carts.

"Ahh so this is the new person in your life eh?" Ren leaned to inspect Karma. He whistled, impressed "Damn, he's fine" he praised.

"And also mine" Gakushū couldn't help feeling possessive, not liking the way Ren stared at Karma.

Ren raised a brow. "Is he? Wow Asano-kun, I didn't know you're into teenage looking jailbait"

Nagisa and Isogai couldn't stop snickering from amusement. Gakushū turned red, and tried to excuse himself, but was stopped by Isogai

"Have you had lunch yet Asano-kun?" Isogai asked, also eyeing Karma, much to Gakushū's displeasure. "Ye-"

"Gakushū haven't had lunch yet" Karma informed.  He turned to face his master. "It's not healthy to skip meals Shu"

"Uhh...sure then" Gakushū forced himself to say. He felt embarrassed to be caught with his AI, because he wanted to keep his work life and secret home life separated.

Karma directed them to a western style steak house that Gakushū liked, the five of them got a private booth away from the lunch rush crowd.

They all got food and drinks except for Karma, who didn't need to eat or drink.
