Chapter 29 -A Small Celebration-

"So that's when you guys confessed." Soraru said with a visible smile, "Congratulations then." The red-eyed brunette returned the smile as he spoke, "Thanks." Mafu then looked up at the two brunettes as he started to wonder, "Have you told the others yet?" He asked. The two males shook their heads as their response.

Eve and Sou then had an idea as they looked at each other. Surprisingly though, the masked male was the first to state their mini idea, "How about we have a small celebration? Since you guys are now a couple."

"And the very first couple here too." Sou added, hoping the two would agree to this. They only wanted to celebrate with everyone else since this time, they want to help. Because it was also an idea as thank you gift for both Amatsuki and Kashitarou. The two did make the food, and clean the house after all. They were like the parents in the household, at least from what the two could describe. Sou then stood up and gave a bright confident smile, "We can celebrate with nice dinner and we can use the wine from downstairs we saved for special occasions." He explained.

The red-eyed brunette had a small grin, "That sounds nice! I'll be sure to cook-" Before he could finish though, Sou interrupted as he shook his head, "No, this time.. We'll be making the food. You and Kashitarou always cook, clean, and take care of everyone here. So it's our turn to return the favor." The male said, gently opening the door for them, "Now, you guys do whatever you'd like. We won't disturb you, okay?"

"In your room though, cause this is technically my room still." Soraru said, trying to fix his bed neatly. The others nodded, letting the male fix his bed seeing how he was trying to do so. After they did leave the room though, downstairs they saw Luz and Lon glaring at each other from the far end of the dining table.

"Lon."

"Luz-san."

The two blinds looked at their friends, Lon stared at the ravenette, "What?" She asked, but Soraru only shook his head, "Look, stop glaring at him. And calm down."

"That goes the same for you Luz-san." Mafu said, lightly smacking the blonde's head. "Ow.. How mean.. Besides, she's the one who won't stop glaring when I try to not glare." He explained as he looked away. The angel sighed before crossing his arms, "Look, we have a mission today. Ama-chan and Kashi just became a couple. So we want to celebrate it with dinner. And you two might as well help us out." Lon one the other hand, had a huge grin, "So they finally confessed huh? Alright, I'll definitely help you out. I don't know about this one over there though."

Luz gave a smile as he looked at the two males infront of them, "Of course I'll help! Only because your group saved Mafu, Eve, and Shima from before. It's the least I could do."

"Hm, so for once your not gonna kill anyone?"

Luz gave a tiny glare, "Hey, don't think I like killing anyone, Lon."

The blonde then suddenly stood up, placing her hands on the table, "Then tell me why you slaughtered so many villages?!" She yelled. But the male only shook his head before facing her, "Oh? And what about you? If you've done exactly the same thing to our side of the land!" Soraru and Mafu looked at each other before going to their friends.

"Haha.. why don't we calm down..?" The albino said, looking at both of the blondes with worry. Right now, he really didn't want the two to argue, not when they needed to work on the things the needed to prepare. Lon on the other hand, glared a bit at the albino, having extreme distrust at the moment. The blonde may not act on it towards Mafu, but it was still clear to Soraru that she didn't trust him. Lon then faced to look af the two with a small smile, "Sorry about us then, why don't we just start preparing?"

"Hey Kashi?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you think they'll do?" The brunette asked with concern, hoping their kitchen wouldn't get destroyed. The male simply have a reassuring smile as he wrapped his arms around the other, "I'm sure they'll do fine." Amatsuki had a smile on his face before turning his head a bit, gently kissing his boyfriend's cheek. "Then if you say that, maybe your right."

"HOW DO YOU STOP THIS THING!?"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"Jeez.. what's going on over here?" Soraru asked, wondering what all the noise was about. When he looked over across the kitchen he sighed and walked up to them. Seeing the oven go on fire, he only looked at both the albino and the blonde, "How... How did this even happen?"

"I DON'T KNOW, JUST PLEASE HELP US SORARU-SAN!" The angel exclaimed, trying to get away from the flames of the oven that had almost reached one of his feathers. Luz nodded, hoping the male would help them. The ravenette then let out a sigh, "Alright, alright, let me go get the extinguisher then."

When he came back, he put out the fire but also scolded both Luz and Mafu after. So now they had to clean up the oven, but not him this time. He then crossed his arms as he looked at the two, "What were you two even trying to do?" He asked. Both males looked at each other before looking back at Soraru. "We were trying to bake cookies.." The albino said, staring at the ground. Then they saw a certain male behind them as he patted both of Mafu's and Luz's head gently, "You could've both asked me."

The two then turned around and saw their friend Eve, someone who they should've asked. He was the master of cookies after all. Perhaps, even the best cookie maker in the world.

"Eve! We're sorry we didn't ask for help, Luz and I thought we would've been able to do it by ourselves!" Mafu explained but the other only shook his head, "It's okay, but let's clean this up first okay? Because Sou will be joining us in a few minutes." He said with a smile. Though Soraru smiled a little at the three, "Well, I'm going to go ahead and cook."

"Can I help?" A certain albino asked, but the older only shook his head. "No, not until you and Luz clean up the mess you made." He explained. Mafu gave a small pout before nodding, but Luz only patted his back, "At least your not gonna clean alone though." He said with a smile.

"Yeah.. I guess your right."

"I'll help you." Luz and Mafu turned to their friend Eve in surprise. The blonde shook his head, "It's okay Eve, besides.. we were the ones who caused the mess."

The male only kept facing them, talking with a calm tone, "No, it's fine. I want to help you both out too."

In the end, Mafu and Luz let their friend help clean up, and it ended up being cleaned much quicker with Eve. It was clear that their friend knew what he was doing when they were cleaning. But now that they were done, Sou had went to greet the three. Though when he went, he saw both Mafu and Luz hugging Eve tightly while the other started walking them as he started to hug Eve as well. Their friend only smiled under his mask but also turned slightly red from the attention that was given to him.

"T-Thank you for the hugs.. Let me start getting the ingredients though."

"Wait." Eve looked at Sou as he tilted his head in confusion before the other gave him one last hug. The blue-eyed male smiled, "Sorry, your just really huggable~" He teased, patting the male's head gently. Luz and Mafu on the other hand had a big grin at the sight before them. That is until the albino remembered about the ravenette, "We forgot about helping Soraru-san!"

"Oh right, right. Sou is it? Please don't do anything to Eve and treat him well while we go ahead and help Soraru." The blonde explained. Sou gave a nodd before the two left. But to be honest, they were technically in the same kitchen, but except Soraru was at the other side of the kitchen. When they went towards the ravenette, he only turned to them with a straight face as he spoke, "Your both noisy..."

Time passed, Eve and Sou were baking cookies. And to be honest, Sou was grateful to be baking with the male. Eve would sometimes become easily embarrassed or shy sometimes but overall, he was a nice guy to hang around with for Sou. Though he started wondering as he tapped the other's shoulder, "Why do you always wear that mask of yours?"

"Well.. It's cause um.."

"Is it because your scared of showing your face or?"

"It's not really that.. But I wasn't always like this so you know. I'm not very comfortable explaining why yet." The other explained with a hint of sadness in his voice as he faced the floor. Eve then felt a pat on his head as he looked up seeing Sou smile, "I can kinda tell, but just know I'm always here if you ever need to talk about it, okay?"

Eve then smiled under his mask, "Thank you, Sou."

As the day went on, things were getting done. Lon was helping Senra, Urata, and Un:c with the cleaning and decorating. Soraru, Luz, and Mafu cooking. Even though it was mostly Soraru trying to make sure the other two wouldn't blow up the kitchen. Sou and Eve were baking cookies for everyone as they spent their time well. Everything was going well.

Meanwhile with the two brunettes, Kashitarou's hands were wrapped around Amatsuki. He couldn't help but smile as he held the other who was currently sleeping peacefully. Never did he think the red-eyed burnette would accept his confession. But he was thankful that he did, because now he could hold him tightly. And love him for as long as he could. Amatsuki, was his world.

Then, a knock was heard from the bedroom door as he turned, "Come in." There was Urata and Senra, opening the door as they saw the two. "It's time to head for dinner." The male nodded, "Alright, let me just wake him up. Well be downstairs in a sec." He said as the other two gave a nod before leaving the room.

"We did it!" Mafu cheered. The table was neat and organized with the food. Everything was perfect, the kitchen was clean, some vases with flowers were placed for the occasion too. Now they each waited for the couple who had now arrived. Both of them were shocked to see how well they kept things neat and well. Amatsuki was especially surprised after seeing the food that was set down.

"Congratulations you two! Why don't you guys take a seat?" Senra said, pouring the wine into their glasses. The two greatly accepted the offer before they were the first to be served. "You guys did really well." Amatsuki complimented. Everyone felt glad hearing that, at first they were worried that they would mess up but in the end, they did well. As they each took a bite from the meat of the food, they looked at Soraru.

"It's really good!"

The ravenette smiled, "Thanks, but Mafu and Luz also helped out." Kashitarou grinned, "Really now? Well then, thank you Mafu and Luz for helping out Soraru." The two smiled as they gave a nodd. "We were happy to help!" Mafu said, happily taking another bite from his plate.

They were so far enjoying the dinner, though they each kept teasing each other. Especially a certain green-eyed brunette who kept on asking how Shima and Sakata were doing. He tried denying that he cared but to everyone, he was just a big tsundere. But every time Soraru tried insulting Urata on purpose, he would be called an old man after. Amatsuki and Kashitarou on the other hand kept on talking and making sure the group was having their fun. For once, Lon and Luz were even getting along in the moment too. Because they had to.

After finishing their food, Eve and Sou brought in the tray of freshly baked cookies. They sat the silver tray on the table before picking up the plates and washing them. When they returned to their seats, everyone had been enjoying the baked sweets. Even Lon was surprised at how well made they were from the two. Next to Mafu and Eve though, their glass of wine wasn't touched. Soraru and Sou then turned to the blonde near them.

"Why haven't those two touched their wine?" Sou asked in curiosity. The male looked at the two before smiling a bit, "It's cause they can't drink anything that contains alcohol. It's because they easily get tipsy after drinking a glass. " He explained.

"What? We can drink! I-It's just that we don't like the taste very much..." A certain albino said, denying the blonde's words with a pout. Luz sighed before giving a smirk, "Really? Then try to take a sip to prove it."

Mafu smiled confidently "Fine, we will then! We'll prove it!" He said, gently picking up his glass as he and Eve started drinking it hesitantly. Luz panicked a bit after seeing them drink a bit too quickly, "H-Hey, I only said a sip! And don't drink it that quickly!" He said after making the two put their glass of wine down. Sou though was honestly surprised that Eve drank a bit too after seeing him move his mask up a bit, only revealing his mouth while drinking. Seeing that the two were acting normal so far made him sigh in relief, "I guess you were right. You proved yourselves after all."

"Horray~ We did it~!"

"H-Hey! Let go!" Soraru said, noticing the albino suddenly clinging on to his arm. Eve on the other hand was quiet as Sou was asking if he was alright. At this moment, Luz took back his words because right now. Both Eve and Mafu were easily affected from the wine at the moment while he sighed. "I shouldn't have let you two drink..." He said, regretting this.

"Don't worry Luz, those two aren't the only ones.." Kashitarou replied as he pointed at both Amatsuki and Senra. He then smiled, "I guess it's time for bed, huh? I'm really thankful for all of you. And I'm sure Amatsuki is too, thank you for this wonderful dinner."

Everyone turned to him, "Your welcome, and it was our pleasure. We're just glad that you and Amatsuki are together. And it was the least we could do since you guys always take such good care of us." Urata said as he stood up from his seat.

As everyone was heading towards their rooms, Kashitarou, Soraru, Luz, and even Sou were struggling to get their friends to their rooms. They were surprised to see Senra though being handled easily from a certain short tanuki. It was probably because Urata had found a way for Senra to get around well while drunk. Once the friends were finally in their rooms, Soraru had sighed in relief.

He then changed into his night clothes before noticing the angel on the bed, hugging one of the pillows. Soraru then started laying on his bed before feeling someone next to him as he turned his head to see Mafu now hugging his arm. As much as he wanted to say something, he saw how happy the albino looked as he started to fall asleep. At this rate, he wondered how Sou was handling Eve since he was most likely in the same situation at the moment in his room.

"Soraru-san~"

"What is it?"

"Nothing~"

"Then sleep."

"..."

"Soraru-san~"

"What is it now?"

"Can I hug you~?"

"Fine... As long if you sleep."

"Okay~"

Quickly enough, the other kept his word. Mafu was asleep, hugging the older male as his cheeks were tinted with red. Soraru had a tiny smile as he slowly started closing his eyes as he began to talk quietly, "Sleep well."
