For some strange reason, PK Academy was given a week off of school. Nobody knows the reasoning, but who cares! It's a week away from school, don't question it.

Anyways, Saiki was at home at the moment. He was going from channel to channel, trying to find something interesting to watch. Until his phone buzzed.

'What? Since when do I get messages..?'

He teleported his phone into his hand, looking through the messages he received.

YAY

Saiki waited a few minutes after seeing the message sent before teleporting near the other's house. He walked up to the door, and almost wanted to turn back immediately.

'Why are they here? Why did he invite them?'

He didn't even have to knock for the door to open, showing Nendou, Kaidou, and Koboyasu.

'Great, and Nendou.'

"Pal, you're here! Come in, come in." Saiki walked into the house.

Aren and Kaidou greeted the pinkette. "Asher said he wanted you to go to his room when you got here. Upstairs, first door to the left down the hallway on the left."

'Why? That idiot isn't gonna pull something, is he? I can't even hear his thoughts.'

Saiki nodded and walked down where he was directed. The house was pretty small, so he assumed there weren't too many people who lived here with him. Maybe just his parents, possibly a younger sibling or two, and a pet.

The pinkette didn't even bother to knock, turning the knob and opening the door.

He almost regretted it.

Standing there was Asher, who clearly just got out of the showering seeing by the towel that covered his lower half and the water that dripped down his body. His back was facing Saiki, looking at the mirror on the little vanity he had. Looked like he was putting in his earrings.

He turned to Saiki. "Oh? Like what you see?"

"What're you going on about?"

"Your face looks like your hair right now?"

'There's no way. I wasn't actually flustered by- him. I was just taken by surprise.'

"Yeah, right. Anyways, what do you want?"

Asher perked up, finishing putting in his last earring before opening his dresser to pull out clothes. "Right. I know you aren't really a people person, but I invited those guys down there. I hope you don't mind."

"Why do you even care?"

"Uh.. why wouldn't I care?"

"You don't seem like the person to care for others like that."

The brunette scoffed and rolled his eyes, a frown growing on his face. "Kaidou said that shit the other day. That's so annoying.."

'I'm not that fucking bad.'

'I'm only calling it the way I see it.'

"Anyways, that's it. So you can either stay while I put on my clothes, or wait down there with them. I wouldn't mind some company~" he playfully tugged at his towel.

"Don't take too long," Saiki quickly left the room, Asher laughing at his retreating figure.

And quick he was. He swiftly lathered himself in lotion, tugged his clothes on, threw on some rings, and they were out the door.

He definitely stood out compared to the other four, his style much more broad than theirs.

He was wearing a black, long sleeved crop top with a black and white jacket. He also pulled on some black jeans, black chelsea boots, and two rings that were connected by a chain. He also had all of his ear holes filled with earrings.

Kaidou could barely look at the other without his face heating up, while the other two (Koboyasu and Nendou) gawked at his coolness.

"Wow, buddy! You have a lot of holes in your ears! Do they hurt?" Nendou questioned as the walked along the sidewalk.

"Well, some of them did hurt to get. My ears are actually really sensitive now, because of how many piercings I've got. But, the pain was worth it. I love them all."

"You also have a really nice figure. Do you have a special diet? Maybe a work out routine?"

Asher thought for a moment. "I try not to eat anything too greasy, but I have my cheat days.. And, when I lived in America, I would go up to the mountains and hike all the time. So, that was nice exercise.. but besides that, I just do daily runs and a normal routine every other day or so."

"America!" Nendou shouted.

'Is that all you heard?'

"Mhm.. it's a pretty sweet place."

Kaidou piped up. "From what I've heard, they've got some pretty strong people there."

'Though, none of them could beat me and my Jet-Black Wings!'

'Keep telling yourself that.'

"Well, if you find the right people, then I guess they could be considered pretty damn tough."

"Speaking of America," Aren butted in. "Why'd you move here from America? Since it's so great and all."

Asher was silent.

'Touchy topic?'

"Fuck yeah, we're here." The brunette diverted the topic, holding the door open to the little café for them to enter.

'Good timing.'

They walked in and went over to a free table (they're in a U-shaped booth. So, starting from one side it was Kaidou, Nendou Aren, Asher, then Saiki), picking up menus for them to look at the plethora of sweets they could choose from.

'This must be heaven.'

"Damn, everything looks so good."

"Actually, I'm not too keen on sweets," Aren rubbed his chin lightly. "But this one here doesn't seem too bad."

"If you don't like sweets, why did you come?"

"Free food?"

'My exact thoughts.'

"Woah, woah," Asher frowned. "You all gotta pitch in. I don't just grow money on fuckin trees, now."

"Whaat!?" Nendou whined. "C'mon, Asher. Be a good pal and pay for us."

'This bitch-'

"No. I'm running low on money for this month, so I can't."

Kaidou did a little pose. "Don't worry, Asher-kun! I'll help you pay for everyone's meal, because that what the Jet-Black Wings do!"

'Now he's using -kun?? Seriously?'

He clicked his tongue. "Don't make it seem like I'm fucking poor or something.. I just don't want to pay for everyone's shit."

"O-oh-- that's not what I mean-! I mean-"

"It's fine, Kaidou," he sighed.

Ending that conversation, a waitress came over to take their order.

'She's really pretty...'

'I guess she isn't that bad. But do you really have to find everyone you see, in some way, attractive?'

"Yo. I'll take your order if you're ready now."

'She's not too bad..' Aren stared up at the female.

"I'll have a chocolate cake," the speckled boy chose.

She hummed with a small nod. "I'm not a big fan of sweets, but that one isn't too damn shabby."

'Good to know.'

"I want 3 slices of what he's getting, too!" Nendou shouted.

She only raised an eyebrow to him before writing his order down.

"I just want hot chocolate- with marshmallows. And whipped cream. Because only the manliest men drink it like that, of course!"

"Right.." she snickered.

"Hey, sexy. Two coffee jellies, please," Asher smirked to her.

'Good grief..'

For some reason, hearing him call her that really unsettled him. But he assumed it was because he was shamelessly flirting with their waitress.

"Call me that again, and the next time you see me will be your last seconds alive."

Both of his eyebrows shot up. "Alright, alright..."

'I'm surprised she could even speak english.'

"I'll be back with your orders in a minute," she didn't look up from her notepad as she walked away.

"What'd you say to her, dude?" Aren questioned.

"I just called her pretty."

"Then why did she look so angry?"

"I don't know- females, y'know?"

'How idiotic.'

She wasn't lying when she said she would be back in a minute. Their orders lied in front of them as they silently enjoyed it.

'Woww~'

'So good..'

'This shit is so good, holy fUCK.'

'I hate it here.'

They all finished their meals.

"Wow, that was so good..!" Nendou spoke loudly while stretching.

"Shut up, Nendou!"

"What? It was good."

Asher rolled his eyes. "So, who's gonna help me pay?"

Dead silence.

"Wow, I think I left my wallet.."

"Yeah, me too-"

"I don't wanna pay!"

'Are you shitting me?'

'Honestly, that is a little sad.'

Saiki sighed, pulling out his own wallet and tossing half of the bill on the table.

The brunette turned to him. "Saiki..?"

"What?"

"Saiki, you're the best! Fuckin' love you, bud!" He wrapped an arm around the pinkette's shoulders, giving him a side hug.

'Again, I hate it here.'

They all walked out after everything was paid for.

"Thanks for bringing us, Asher," Aren thanked for all of them.

"Yeah, yeah. Next time, pay for your own shit."

The purple haired boy chuckled. "Yeah.."

They said their goodbyes before turning to part ways. Except Saiki.

"Saikiii~" Asher called.

'What does this idiot want?'

"Let's go back to my house! Pretty please, I wanna hang out with you."

'I just want to tease you more. You're fun.'

"No."

"Woohoo, let's go!"

'I should've went home when I had the chance.'

Asher had practically dragged Saiki back to his house and up to his room.

"You can sit on my bed. Careful of the boxes."

"Why don't you unpack them? It's not like you just got here yesterday.."

"You aren't wrong.." he rubbed his chin. "It has been almost two weeks. I just don't wanna."

'How can someone be so lazy?'

"How about you help me?"

"No."

"Please? I'll buy you coffee jelly all of next week."

'That wasn't even fair.'

"Fine," Saiki sighed, walking over to one of the many boxes in the room.

'He's so easy.'

'How couldn't I agree to that? It's coffee jelly on the line.'

The two of them casually talked with each other (well, it was more of Asher talking than Saiki) as they took out the items from the boxes.

In one of the final boxes, Saiki ripped the tape off (with the help of his powers) and opened it to see picture frames and photo books.

'Huh. This must be his parents.'

"Oh. I forgot I took these.." he stood over Saiki's figure on the ground, looking into the box. "You can just leave those. I don't know what I want to do with them."

"Okay."

'Is he not curious to hear my life story!? What a bitch..'

'Of course I'm not. I could easily figure it out on my own, if I wanted to.'

'I'm gonna say it anyways.'

'Please spare me.'

"You can probably tell, but that's my dad right there. And my mom, and me. And she was gonna have a little girl.." he grabbed the picture frame, observing the photo.

"I don't remember my dad too well, but from this picture I can remember he was pretty attractive."

'Was that really necessary to say?'

"Anyways. He's gone now."

"Gone?"

"He died."

'Oh.'

"Your sister..?"

"Not here, either."

'Well... this got depressing really fast.'

'Damn, maybe I shouldn't have said anything.'

'I agree.'

"Anyways! No more of that. My mom should be here soon, so you should go."

"Why do I have to leave?"

The brunette's mouth quirked up. "I mean, I guess you can stay if you want."

"Nevermind. See you later."

"Sorry, Saiki! Just don't you to meet my mom until I make you mine~"

'What does that even mean?'

"Also," he stopped the pinkette, "call me when you get home."

"Why?"

"So I can make sure you got home safe. Don't need a pretty thing like you to get hurt."

"Bye."

He chuckle. "Bye, lolipop!"

'What an idiot..'

As Saiki left, Asher sat on his bed, lost in thought.

'Why did I tell him that? We didn't even meet that long ago. He's probably gonna pity me or some shit now... great.'

Later that day, Saiki did end up send him a text.

'Only because I don't need that idiot to worry over nothing.'

But, for some reason, that reasoning didn't settle to well with him deep inside.
