Gakushū stood awkwardly in the middle of the hallway waiting for Karma. "Forgive our young master's tardiness, he gets lazy during the weekends" a maid apologized with a fond smile. "It's no problem" Gakushū nodded at her.

"So~" the maid had a knowing smile. "How was he to you dear? Did he go easy?"

"I'm...I'm sorry?" Gakushū asked in visible confusion.

"Oh you know, the other night when you stayed here" the maid reminded. "You had slept in our young master's room. And hours later we heard suspicious noises" judging from the smirk on the maid's face Gakushū reddened when he realized what she was implying.

"Wha-FUCK NO!" he stammered. "I mean-I would never allow him to- we didn't do any of the sorts!"

"Yes sure you did not, of course I believe you" the maid suggestively winked. "Just remember boys, value your education"

"I-" Gakushū groaned as he blushed harder at the thought of being intimate with the red head. Ewww

"For the record ma'mm, I value my education very highly. My education comes first, always! And secondly" Gakushū narrowed his eyes. "If anyone would be rough between me and him,  it would be I, not Karma"

"Oh really?" Came a new voice. 

The boy turned to the direction is came from and screamed internally when he saw Karma, smirking and still in his pajamas(halfway through Karma decided not to dress up because it would be a waste of his time anyway, he was only meeting Gakushū)

"Akabane!" Gakushū stiffened.

"Don't let me interrupt you Asano-kun. What was that about being rough?" The red head smirked, enjoying Gakushū's embarrassment.

"Forget it!" Gakushū snapped. He walked over to Karma and began to drag him to where he assumed was the kitchen, basing on his blurry memory of the last time he was there. "I haven't had breakfast yet Akabane so how about you cook me something before we start our assignment?" Gakushū dropped his bag on the island and made himself comfortable on the stool.

"Make yourself at home I guess" Karma rolled his eyes. "And good morning to you too"

There was an awkward silence that befall them.

The servants were peering through the door, pushing and nudging at each other "shush! They might hear us!"

"Hey stop pushing me!"

"Stop it I can't see!"

"Move your head Thoma!"

"What's happening?"

Karma whips on an apron and combed his messy hair with his fingers. "So what do you want?"

"W-what?" Gakushū blinked.

"You said you wanted me to cook you breakfast. So what do you want Asano-kun?" The boy faced him with a smirk.

Gakushū shrugged. "Surprise me" he didn't really expect Karma to know how to cook, he thought Karma had his servants doing everything for him.

"Okay then" and Karma began to prepare.

"Master has a soft spot for that boy" a maid giggled. "Obviously" another one agreed.

"Hmm...how much do you want to bet he will mix wasabi in that boy's food or drink?" A butler chuckled.

"So, how do we do this?" Gakushū had a small bowl of rice, a plate of Yakitori and sashimi. Indeed the red head exceeded his expectations, it tasted fantastic. Not that Gakushū would ever admit it though, he would rather stab a fork on his leg than admit Karma's cooking was divine.

"Getting to know each other..."Karma stared at his paper. He looked at the strawberry blonde. "What's your favorite color?"

"Really?" Gakushū gave him a deadpan stare.

"Alright fine what's your favorite month?"

Gakushū decided to just roll with it, wanting to get it over and done with so he can go home and catch some much needed sleep. "I like the color orange" Gakushū admitted. "As for the month. Akabane who even has a favorite month?" He scoffed.

"Asano Gakushū's favorite color, Orange. The most horrible color to ever exist, next to pink" Karma said and  wrote down.

"Orange is not a horrible color you ass!" Gakushū snapped. He stared down at his paper and grabbed a pen.

"What is your favorite torture methods for your prisoners?" Gakushū sarcastically asked.

"Tie them up and start whipping them" Karma answered casually.

"What?!"

Karma bursted out laughing. "The look on your face Asano-kun!"

"Ugh. What do you like to do during your free time?" Gakushū took another bite of his Yakitori, almost moaning at the deliciousness.

Karma looked like he was thinking about it.

"I like to hang out with Nagisa and Rio" but then he shook his head. "Or at least used to"

"Used to?" Gakushū got curious.

"They switched schools remember? And Rio went abroad. Nagisa-kun can only talk to me through text, and Rio is too busy with her new buddies I guess" for a short moment Karma looked sad, which caused Gakushū's heart to twitch. But then Karma brightened up again.

"I like to play games, all kinds of games. My favorite is hide and seek, I'm a master of it, especially the hiding" he boasted.

Hmm, Gakushū didn't know why he was curious as to what Karma's reason to have the game of disappearing and searching be his favorite game.

"Mine is tag. I'm fast, no one has ever beaten me before" Gakushū admits. "I like the thrill. And the running away part, I'm good at that"
