Bitter Sweet

Hiroto refrained from patting his head again. Wouldn’t want to get the whole, ‘I’m not little anymore, Hiroto-nii! You don’t have to treat me like a baby!’, lecture again. Instead, he shot a smile in his direction as he moved to open the door to the washroom and gesture towards it. Being the gentlemen he was, he let Kariya exit first. 

It never occurred to Kariya how the Sun Garden was a family to him, not until Hiroto mentioned it at least. Kariya only added the appropriate suffixes due to respect mostly but now that he thought more of it, the Sun Garden was more of a family than anything.

Growing impatient only seconds after he had given his command, the vampire cried,  ”Unless… You’re trying to protect them!!” At this point his want for the tea in his hands had diminished, making Kanato crush the foam cup it sat in not caring as it seeped through his fingers. “If that’s the case I won’t forgive you!!”

A heavy sigh left his lips, "Look, all I know is that the guy had dark brownish hair. If we walk around the campus, I'm sure I can scout him out since I'll recognize his face immediately."

"—I’d swear you’re even blushing. Is it embarrassing for you, a little peck like that?" 

Tears collected at the corner of his eyes. Did Hiroto still not realize anything? Teasing him like this, Kariya just wanted to shout. "Shut up and leave me alone," he managed out, a bit more firm.

"Alright, alright. I’m ready, Kariya!"

"Idiot." He insulted half heartedly and mostly absent mindedly, a subconscious habit of his.

"Who told you that you were allowed touch?" He had only left Teddy alone for no more than a few seconds obviously thinking it be safe, only to come back to find someone with their disgusting hands all over him. In situations like this the vampire was like a ticking time bomb, he was calm now, but with the wrong response from the person he was talking to, he’d go off.

He was startled quite a bit when he heard a voice, looking over to the owner then back to the teddy in his hands then back to the other. "Ah, is he yours? I saw some kid knock it off the chair on purpose. Sorry if you didn't want me touching him." He outstretched his hand that held the teddy, gently ushering the other to take back the beloved item. "I didn't want him being stepped on or kicked around so I picked him up and brushed him off."

"You better not... Hurry up before I change my mind to no feed you!"

"People’ll make a holiday out of anything."

"Apparently so. People these days are a bit weird."

"Come here."

"No thanks. I'm not wanting a kiss."

Hiroto’s finger wavered midair when he lost Kariya’s attention. “Anyone can eat cookies on their own…But these ones look really good. I think they’d be even better if it were given to me specially by you.” 

"Nn.... Shut up... I know these cookies look really good, I made them myself after all!" He's silent for a moment before sighing, holding up a cookie to Hiroto's mouth. "You say anything embarrassing and I'll stop feeding you and shove the cookies in your face." Hey, at least Hiroto gotten a warning this time.

"Hey…That kind of…hurts, you know." 

"........ Disgusting..." 

"Kariya," He raised a hand to point at his mouth, which was still very much open, "Ahhhhh.” 

"Hmph." Looks away with a snort, "No. You can feed yourself." Unless you can somehow convince him to feed you.

"By the way, Kariya, what does one do at a maid cafe?" He knows there’s maids there, but any sort of activities are behind his range of knowledge.

"Maybe we'll find out once we get there!"
