"Text": Saiki talking telepathically
ATTENTION! You might want to rewatch episode seven of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K before reading to fully understand the events.
Summary: Episode 7 in L/N Y/N's perspective.
“He is so cute!” “Come here kitty!”
“He’s so cute, I wish I could go say hi but I don’t want to overwhelm that cat,” Y/N paused for a moment to speak but when they noticed Saiki didn’t stop they rushed to catch up with him.
Saiki suddenly stopped for a moment but then returned to Y/N’s side. Y/N was confused when the heard meowing and was even more confused when Saiki turned around to go towards it.
Y/N didn’t know what was going on between Saiki and the cat, but Saiki clearly didn’t care for what the cat was saying so he kept walking. After a couple more meows Saiki turned back and stood in front of the cat stuck between two buildings.
Y/N kept looking between Saiki and the stuck cat, clearly missing the telepathic conversation. However based on the cat’s movements the Saiki clearly had the upper hand.
Saiki was repeatedly backing in and out of the cat’s view, Y/N could only guess that the cat was say thing something that Kusuo didn’t like. After a quite smug look from the cat Saiki walked off.
“Hey, slow down! Seriously would helping that cat really be so bad?” Y/N asked as they grabbed Saiki’s arm. Kusuo just rolled his eyes and turned back to the cat.
Y/N looked between the cat and Saiki again, it was clear they were in a telepathic conversation but Y/N couldn’t tell if they were purposely left out of it or not.
“Why does he look so smug? Is he getting the upper hand?”
“Not even close.” Saiki replied, and again walked away.
After more angry meowing from the cat, Saiki and Y/N again turned back to the cat. As Saiki continued threatening to leave the cat became more and more dejected before Saiki suddenly broke the building that was holding the cat in place.
With the cat free Y/N and Saiki continued on their path home without further disturbances. However that wasn’t the last time Saiki and Y/N saw the cat.
The second cat interaction came when Mr Saiki came home.
“Welcome back honey! Your dinners already on the table.”
“What’s with your belly?” Ms Saiki pointed out, Kuniharu clearly stuffed something in his shirt that he wanted to do hide.
“What are you hiding?! Take it out!” “It’s nothing leave me alone!” “It’s something dirty like an adult magazine” the set of parents wrestled to reveal what was under Kuniharu’s shirt.
“It’s a cat?! Aw so cute! Where did you find this little fur ball?”
“He was in front of our house so I just, well… can we keep him? I promise I’ll take cate of him!”
“That’s the same cat you helped earlier today right Kusuo?” Y/N asked as they paused eating their dinner to watch Saiki’s parents briefly argue.
“Yes. Yes it is.” Saiki replied, less than amused.
“Honey I’m sorry, but I’m allergic to cats remember.”
“Oh, then I can take the cat out. Go sit and eat dinner dad.” Y/N said as they got up and picked up the cat.
The cat didn’t put up much of a fuss in Y/N’s arms and allowed Y/N to take them out.
“Nice try buddy.” Y/N told the cat as they gave them a quick pat, sat them down, and walked into their own home.

“You know, the Christmas lights are pretty nice. A little much in some places but still charming. I don’t think anything could compare to your house though.” Y/N teased Saiki.
“I don’t think we’ve seen anything that even comes close to mom and dad’s decorating.” Saiki smiled back at Y/N’s tease.
“It’s like this every year at my house… I have a bad feeling,” Saiki paused his light hearted conversation when he grabbed onto his front door handle.
“How bad can it really be?” Y/N asked.
“Oh welcome home Ku!” “Hey Buddy!”
As soon as he saw his mom and Nendo Saiki slammed the door and locked it.
“Over reaction much?” Y/N asked Saiki.
“Nope.” Saiki replied coldly.
“Come on, let’s just go in, surely it won’t be too bad,” Y/N said as they tugged Saiki inside.
“I ran into your best friend while I was at the store so I invited him.” Kusuo’s mom told him.
‘I thought I was your best friend.’ Y/N elbowed Saiki, while they teased him internally.
“When it comes to parties, the more the merrier right?”
‘Someone please end my misery.’
“I’m back! Merry Christmas! Santa’s here with presents!” Kuniharu come through the front door wearing his Santa costume to a awe struck Nendo.
“I thought this was supposed to be just family. Now I lol like a fool. Who’s that guy?” Kuniharu whispered to his wife.
“That’s because you are.” Saiki said under his breath.
“He’s Ku’s friend Nendo.”
“Kusuo has a friend?! Oh dear!” Kuniharu cried.
“What am I? Chopped liver?” Y/N said a little offended. Saiki elbowed them and gave them a small smile, mimicking what Y/N did earlier. This seemed to placate them for now.
“But how? Kusuo is such a cold jerk. If I went to school with him and he didn’t have powers, I’d punch him in the face.” Saiki’s dad stated.
“Wow, thanks dad.” Y/N had to take a few shakey deep breaths to avoid laughing out loud.
“Hello Nendo! I’m Kusuo’s dad, Kuniharu. I’ve heard so much our you.”
“You talk about Nendo at home???” Y/N asked very confused. “Not even once.” Saiki said and shakes his head.
“It’s so nice to finally meet you, Mr Kusuo’s dad.”
‘He seems like a thug.’ Kuniharu thought.
‘I’m I the only one that didn’t like that he called you Kusuo?’ Y/N asked, trying to place how they felt about it.
‘I hated it.’ Saiki thought back to Y/N plainly.
“Is he really Kusuo’s friend? He seems more like the dumb bulky type.”
“He’s a good kid!” The set of patents whispered to each other.
‘I thought that too when I first meet Nendo,’ Y/N thought.
“This is a great costume. I thought you were really Santa.” Nendo commented.
“What? Oh, thanks kid.” Kuniharu replied bashfully.
‘Now you like him?’ Kusuo thought confused.
“Merry Christmas!” Saiki’s parents and Nendo clinked their glasses while Y/N and Saiki clinked each others off to the side.
“Well Nendo. I get the feeling you’re just a big kid under all that beef.”
‘You’re acting like host family for a foreign exchange student.’
“Before Kusuo was even one, he was already treating his old man like something he found in his diaper.”
“You should have taken that hint.” Saiki said and Y/N snickered.
“Ya I can tell by the way you listen to me that you’re a good kid.”
“Oh, I don’t know if I’m that good sir. When I was little Santa never visited my house.”
“No way! But why would your dad deprive you like that.”
Y/N was suddenly glad Saiki’s dad never asked them these questions.
“Oh my dad’s dead. He passes away before I was even born.” Nendo said plainly.
“What?!” “I had no idea Nendo.”
“I’m sorry my husband said that.”
“Why? Doesn’t bother me. I still got my mom. And I’d rather have her than Santa once a year.”
“I see. Uhm, would you please excuse us.”
“That’s odd. Anyway, it’s pretty cool your dad still comes home in a Santa costume every Christmas.”
“Ya, it makes me smile every year. It’s quite the sweet tradition.” Y/N reminisced.
“I’m back. Sorry for stepping out.” Saiki’s mom said as she came back into the room.
“No prob! Where’s my buddy’s dad?”
“He had to leave for a work thing. Something about clients needing their shoes licked. Anyway let’s eat.”
‘I can guarantee that excuse only works in this house hold.’ Y/N thought since Nendo made no comment over the remark.
The conversation was cut short as Kuniharu tried to open the locked screen door, once again dressed as Santa Claus.
“AH! OH NO! There’s a man dressed like Santa trying to break in!”
“Oh my!” Saiki’s mom exclaimed.
“I told you to unlock it for me.” “I’m sorry but I don’t think you’d be so fast getting to the door!” Saiki’s parents whispered to eachother.
“They’re so sloppy,” Saiki told Y/N, and they gave him a smile and rolled their eyes.
“Hey Nendo, I’m Santa Claus it’s nice to meet you!”
‘That’s worse than expected. Pulling the same stunt twice is bound to fail, even Nendo will notice.’
“THE REAL SANTA CLAUS IS HERE!” Nendo freaked out.
‘Then again, this is Nendo we’re talking about.’
“I can’t believe it! I’d be honored to share your hand!”
“Oh of course!” Kuniharu said with a Santa impression.
‘He’s getting carried away,’ Saiki thought to Y/N. ‘Maybe so, but he’s trying to do a good thing, let him be,” Y/N said as they leaned on Saiki.
“Oh! I just remembered that you fly around with reindeer! I’ve always wanted to see a reindeer in person!”
“Uh okay, they’re just outside on the lawn. Go look!”
‘Now that’s quite the promise.’ Y/N laughed lightly.
“Ku please! It’s Christmas! Be giving!”
By the sound of Nendo’s screeching, Kusuo somehow made a reindeer appear.
“Here Nendo, it’s for you.” Kuniharu gave Nendo a gift from his sack.
“Ya! That’s two presents!”
“What? You have two gifts? I thought you said you’ve never gotten one before.”
“Ya, nothing from Santa. But I still get one from my mom. Every year while I’m asleep she comes in and puts a present right next to my pillow. I wonder why she doesn’t just give it to me herself, aw well,” Nendo chuckled.
—————————————————————————
“Well it is New Year’s Day. What do you expect?”
“I expect to go home and enjoy the day in peace.”
“Oh come on, it’s one quick thing then we can go to my house and chill out. Don’t be such a Debby downer Kusuo.” Y/N told Saiki.
“I wish for another happy year with you.”
“Awe no, why are you doing your New Years prayer to me?”
“Oh but Kurumi don’t you see? The goddess I pray to is you.”
‘He gets so smug when he charms her.’ Saiki thought a little annoyed.
‘I guess so, but I think it’s kinda sweet.’
Y/N stood next it Kurumi and Saiki and his dad went to pray.
“Oh hey there Saiki! What a twist of fate! Visiting the shrine for New Years, that’s nice I only happens to be passing by, I’m not really the superstitious type.”
“I’m Kusuo’s father, Kuniharu.” “And I’m his mother, you’re such a handsome boy. Thank you for being friends with our grumpy little Ku!”
“What uhm. Ya, well, sure! Greetings! Sir and Ma’am. I’m jet black K-Kaido.” Kai’s said with in a panic.
“Oh so your name is Kaido?”
“Uh, Kusuo is one of my greatest allies! I’m mean friends! Hahaha, ya.” Kaido was flailing his arms about in his panic.
‘What’s with everyone calling him Kusuo all of a sudden… it feels weird.’ Y/N thought, this development just wasn’t sitting right with them.
“I know! Who would have thought Kusuo was able to make two real friends!”
“Oh honey no, I didn’t mean it like that. My prayer was for Ku to make lots of friends this year! Don’t you see?! The years barely begun and it’s already been granted!”
“Neat. You know I prayed for the exact same thing. We’re on the exact same page, always thinking alike!” Saiki made a face at that so Y/N guess he probably prayed for something else.
“So Kaido, have you gone up and done your prayer yet?” Kurumi asked.
“Indubitably?” Y/N and Saiki looked towards each other a bit confused.
‘Who knew your parents could break the great jet back wings,’ Y/N thought to Saiki. ‘I guess so.’ Saiki thought back.
“Well, time for me to go converse the heavens.” Kaido said then walked to the shrine.
“Kaido seems like a good kid.”
“Ya he does. Even if he is dragging his scarf.”
“You guys have such low standards.”
“Well, me and Kuso have done our prayers so I think it’s time for us to head out. You two can stick around and enjoy the sights.” Y/N told Saiki’s parents.
“Aren’t you going to say bye to Kaido?” Kurumi asked.
“Could you actually tell him bye for us, there is a program I promised to watch with Kusuo that airs soon, so we’d like to go home and catch it.”
“Oh of course!” “Ya go ahead love bugs, we’ll see you at dinner.” With the go ahead Y/N and Saiki went home.
“Why were you so ready to go? Normally you’d love to see Kaido embarrass himself.” Saiki asked Y/N.
“I just had a feeling that if we sticked around any longer something bad would happen. And knowing your bad luck all of our friends would show up and your parents would invite them to dinner and your New Years would be ruined.”
“Really?” Saiki questioned.
“Well it happened at Christmas with Nendo! Since this is such a public place I have no doubt a similar course of events would happen.” Y/N defended.
“You’re probably right, thank you for getting us out of there.”
The conversation lulled and they feel into a comfortable silence as they walked back to Y/N’s house.
“Is there really a program you wanted to show me?” Saiki asked.
“Truthfully no. My New Years wish was to have you to myself, so I just wanted to get you out of there. I know that’s a little selfish but I know you like quieter events.” Y/N said a little bashfully.
“So we could put on a movie and get snack. Or I can put music on so we can take a nap, truth be told I didn’t really sleep last night.” Y/N laughed.
“Either works just fine.” Saiki told Y/N with a light smile.
“How about Home Alone? I know it’s a Christmas movie but I haven’t watched it with you yet. Plus it’s my favorite.” Y/N said as the grabbed the remote and sat next to Saiki on the couch.
“Sure.” Truthfully, Saiki didn’t care what they watched, as long as it was just him and Y/N.
—————————————————————————
By the time dinner came around Saiki and Y/N were knocked out on the couch. They laughed, talked, and ate snacks while various movies played so it was to no surprise when they feel asleep together after many hours of having fun with each other.
When they didn’t show up to dinner Kurumi gave Y/N a call but Saiki ended up picking up the phone.
“Y/N? Where are you and Kusuo?”
“We aren’t going.” Saiki replied.
“Y/N is still asleep. We took a nap after we watched a few movies but they still haven’t woken up yet.” Kusuo told his mom.
“Oh, well I can stop by and drop off some food for when they wake up.” Kurumi offered.
“No, we can come over for leftovers later.”
“Well alright, just make sure to eat soon okay Ku?”
As Saiki put down Y/N’s phone they started to shift in their sleep. So Saiki adjusted them so they were laying more comfortably, laying their head on his arm so they wouldn’t wake up sore.
When Y/N stopped shuffling Saiki relaxed again and shut his eyes to join Y/N in their late afternoon nap, the movie on the tv still rolling its credits, long forgotten.
