"Mafu..."

The blonde gave a small sigh before poking the angel's cheek, "Wake up.." He whispered. Mafu started opening his eyes as he saw the male having a smile on his face. He sat up and gave a tiny yawn before looking up at his friend who started patting his head.

"Morning Mafu, go ahead and get dressed comfortably okay? We'll be waiting for you downstairs so take your time."

The albino gave a nodd before Luz had left the room. He slowly started standing up and looked at his head noticing the red crystal and smiled to himself. So he placed it gently on the counter before heading to his wardrobe as he looked for an outfit for the day. Until a certain sweater of his had caught his eye. As he gently took it off the hanger, he started changing into it feeling comfortable in the light sweater that his friends had given him a while back before smiling to himself.

As he walked across the halls after leaving his room, he was heading down the stairs towards the dinning room near one of the halls. He gently opened the door and saw his friends.

"Morning Mafu-don!" Sakata chirped. The albino happily greeted back to his friend, "Morning Sakatan!" The angel then took a seat next to the red-head as the servants had come in to set the plates down for everyone around. Shima looked at the albino's clothing when her turned to look at him, "Hey careful to not ruin that sweater of yours." He said with a small smile.

Mafu responded, "I know." The male gave a nodd after hearing his response before returning to eat the food on his plate. But, something felt odd, he and his friends were always used to being served by the servants, except this time, they started remembering about the two brunette's cooking back with the others house.

Shima had a small frown as he remembered about the blonde who talked with him before they left. He simply stared at his food as he let started speaking from his mind on accident.

"Senra.."

Sakata turned to look at the male and had a smile, "Senra? So you still like him after all this time Shima-kun~?" He teased. Luz, Nqrse, and Araki only stared at them as they tilted their head in confusion.

"Who?"

The red-head then remembered about something, "Senra! Remember?" The other three only shook their heads slowly before Sakata got the idea that they just didn't remember. So he decided to try to explaim and see if they would this time.

"The guy from back then! Blonde, yellow eyes, cool, likes to paint. It was the guy Shima liked when we were younger. Remember now?" He asked. But then Luz had a visible frown on his face before giving a sigh, "I remember now. It was that guy and the short brunette we got separated from a while back."

Sakata smiled brightly, "Yeah! That's him! And the brunette was Urata-san!" He happily said. The blonde's expression softened and gave a small smile, "Im guessing you'd like to see them again though. Perhaps I'll let you soon enough." He said. Sakata felt glad that Luz approved but, then he looked at Mafu who was quietly just staring down at his plate. The red-head could tell something was bothering his friend, so he asked Eve of he could give him a cookie. Seeing how much the angel enjoyed eating Eve's cookies, he thought it would make him smile.

The masked male then stood up and ealked towards Mafu as he poked his cheek gently tp get the other's attention. The albino looked up at him from his seat before he noticed Eve holding a cookie in his hand. He smiled before accepting the cookie as he took a bite.

Eve simply patted his head before returning to his seat. After they were some eating their food, the servants had come over to pick up the plates.

"How about we head to the garden? I promised you all last time that if we had time, we'd go." He said. The other's simply agreed before they made their way to their small destination. One of them especially, wich was Nqrse went to the fountain immediately before a certain blonde followed him, "Hey, wait up Nqrse!"

Araki snickered, "Jeez.. I swear those two are stuck together like glue sometimes." 

"Haha, yeah. Your right, but I guess they always were when we were all kids." Eve said with a gentle smile. They looked around and saw everyone else already gone. Instead, they simply shrugged as they sat down to talk for a bit. And of course like always towards anyone, Eve gave him a cookie.

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"

"Rock, paper, scissors shoot!"

"Rock paper scissors shoot!"

"Rock!"

"Paper!"

Mafu was watching a competition between Sakata and Shima, trying to win to earn a cookie first from Eve after ten rounds. Then, he got an idea. He quietly got up and walked towards the familiar two males in the distance.

"Eve-san~"

The male looked up at him and tilted his head a bit, "What is it Mafu?" The albino then gave an innocent smile, "Could you do me a favor~?" The red-head next to Eve raised one of his eyebrows due to suspicion before he started speaking out, "What did you need from him?"

"I just wanted him to pretend to not give Shima or Sakata a cookie since they're having a contest on who would earn a cookie from Eve-san first." He explained. Eve them smiled umder his mask, "Sure, I'll do it."

"Eve~!" A certain red-head called. He had a bright smile, most likely because he had won telling by the fact that Shima was sitting under a tree, hugging his knees in disappointment while mumbling a few words of defeat.

"Can I have a cookie?" Sakata asked sweetly. Of course, Eve was tempted to give him it but stuck to what the albino had said, so he looked away. "Hm... Maybe not today." He said with a convincing voice.

"Eh?! But you always give the winner cookies.." He pouted. Eve secretly smiled under his mask before looking down at his bag of cookies, "Well.. Sorry then, but not today." The red-head then started looking down at the ground before heading to the tree where Shima was to join him. So now the both of them were just hugging their knees in defeat under the tree.

Eve gave a little laugh before standing up and walking towards the two, he then gently patted both of their heads and handed them a cookie. The two males then had a beaming smile as they both tackled their friend with a hug. And of course, Eve hugged them both back.

"I was only kidding you know.. Why wouldn't I give you both a cookie?" He said before a certain albino was sitting on top of the tree on one of the branches, "That was fun to watch, thank you Eve!" He said as he jumped off, gently landing on the ground. But Shima and Sakata only smacked him on the back of his head.

"How dare you make him do that to us!!!" Sakata exclaimed, stil smacking him. Mafu only gave a little laugh, "Look im sorry haha!" Flapping his wings a little.

"Wow, that was a little interesting, right Nqrse?" Luz asked standing next to the shorter male. "Yep! And it looks like Sakata and Shima like Eve's cookies a bit too much... But I guess it's interesting to watch the both of you have a competition over that."

"My, my... Aren't you all having a good day so far." A voice said from behind the group. They quickly turned around before seeing Suzumu there. Mafu then stood behind Eve as he felt Suzumu's gaze. The male only smirked at him before looking at Luz, "So, I see you found them?"

Luz nodded, "Yes.. They came back home yesterday. So what are you doing here now Suzumu?" The male simply smiled at him, "Im here because of the deal. Now that they're back, you all have to help me get my treasure back from that swordsman's group." He explained.

"We're not helping you!" Mafu yelled.

Suzumu only kept his smile as he started walking up to the albino before being stopped by a hand that belonged to a certain blonde, "I advise you not to get close to him." Luz said with a stern glare before talking further, "And so you know, the deal's off."

"Really now? Fine then, I suppose I'll be taking my leave now." He said as he turned around but was stopped by a voice, specifically Shima's voice, "What are you planning..." Suzumu turned his head a little with a smirk, "I'll be getting my treasure back myself."

"And that's final."
