“Hurry the fuck up so you can come defeat this douche!” Icarus complains in dismay.
“No one can defeat me!” Nathaníel states in triumph.
“Oh, that’s where you fucked up,” Kai declares. “No one beats Kenji in anything.”
“How about Twister?” the Omega offers.
The way they all stare at her has Kenji laughing hysterically.
“Trust me, Astraea. If we play Twister, we’re going to be doing more than twisting limbs,” Kenji declares before lifting her finger so he can blow on it. “It’ll get sweaty, and I’m sure you know what I mean by that.”
“So…” she begins and thinks about it. “Sex Twister for later!”
The way the guys splutter and choke on their own saliva has Kenji losing his fucking mind.
“I’m sold! Astraea’s never leaving us, ever,” he declares. “I’ll fight everyone who doesn’t like it!”
“Seems like we’re all in agreement, anyway,” Icarus casually notes. “We should order more food. I’m fucking starving.”
“Losing worked up an appetite, huh?” Nathaníel declares.
“Fuck you! Wait ‘til we’re in working hours. Then we’ll see if you’re going to be talking shit!”
“Yeah, yeah,” Nathaníel dismisses him. “When are we getting a new song, anyway?”
“What, you want one?” Icarus inquires.
“I thought we’d debut with a new one no one has heard. Like a ballad that transitions into rock madness,” Nathaníel suggests. “I don’t know. Obviously, you’re in charge of all that. I’m not really good with the lyrical part. I got a cool melody, though.”
“Do you?” Kenji seems intrigued. “Do I get to do a drumming solo madness part in there?”
“Could make it happen,” Nathaníel smiles at the idea. “Why not? I can see it being inputted.”
“With strikes of an electric guitar,” Kai suggests. “Your guitar guy can do that.”
“You’re not in the band?” Nathaníel sounds confused.
“Didn’t feel the need to join. Besides, I figured staying low profile in this country is the objective,” Kai notes.
“You don’t give two shits about that,” Nathaníel dismisses. “I see you once in a new moon and know that’s a weak excuse.”
Kai just smirks.
I’ve never seen him smile so much. He’s always so stoic and hates expressing anything.Or so I thought.Seeing him even relaxed like this makes me upset in an odd way.
“Wait. You play guitar?”
All eyes are on the Omega as she looks at her nails, realizing Kenji is done.
“Ah! These turned out so cute! Kenji! You’re good at this!”
“You like it?”
“LOVE IT!” she cheers and gets up to quickly hug him. “Thank you, Kenji.”
“You’re welcome, Sweet Hummingbird.” He rubs her back as he hugs her tightly. It’s just a sweet interaction that makes me want to vomit at the sight.
She’s looking back at Kai when she slips out of Kenji’s arms.
