Fluffy July Day 24 @fluffyjuly
Relationship: Aki & Denji & Power (Chainsaw Man)
"Akiiiiii. We're hungryyyyyy." Power whined loudly. She laid backwards with her head hanging off the couch as if she'd just fallen from the sky. Suddenly, she popped up and shouted, "I know! Let me gnaw on your leg for a bit!"
"No." Aki replied without even looking up from the book in his lap.
Denji shoved Power's legs from right next to his face, causing her to roll off the couch, and said, "She's got a point."
Aki looked up only to give him a deadpan stare. He blinked without saying a word.
"Not about the leg thing, man! The hungry part!" Denji shouted. He crossed his arms and muttered, "Trust me, you're the last person I'd ever want a taste of. Maybe if you grew a nice pair of-"
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" Power shouted as she jumped to her feet and tackled the other devil. The pair began an impromptu wrestling match, as was the norm for them.
It was a few minutes later that Denji finally had Power pinned. He kept her there despite her snarling and struggling while he thought aloud, "It's pretty late though so I doubt and food joints are even open at midnight cause of all the weirdos. At least I can't think of any."
It was then that realization struck Aki. A wave of anticipation and slight nausea washed over him that he chose not to acknowledge. He was as casual as could be when he set aside his book and said, "I know a place."
"Wha- whoa!" Denji yelped.
Power managed to free herself and quickly flip their positions. She laughed maniacally as Denji tried to tap out. She wasn't having it. His eyes threatened to roll to the back of his head and she grinned even wider.
"Get your coats." Aki told the pair as he stood.
Power dropped Denji with an excited gasp. "Food!?"
Aki nodded once. He headed over to the front door, and stepped into his shoes. Next he grabbed his jacket and pulled it on.
Denji stood and attempted to catch his breath. He coughed, put his hand on his bruised neck, and grunted, "Why are you so gung ho?"
He was completely ignored. Aki didn't answer stupid questions as a personal rule and Power was too busy singing a song about how much she liked meat. Denji sighed and followed the pair out. Surely, he'd get an answer soon.
Denji stared up at the neon sign with only half its letters lit with a frown. He blinked, otherwise expressionless. It took an extra second for his brain to decide how to respond. Disgust. Outrage. That should do it.
"Awww, man! The food here isn't even that good! Actually, it's just plain bad!" Denji shouted as he motioned towards the diner in question. He glared daggers at the dark-haired man as he accused, "You just wanna go here cause that pink-haired dude frequents it!"
Power looked at them each in turn and asked, "Who? What?"
"You know, the one I thought was a girl at first," Denji explained. He flapped his arms and said, "With the wings."
"Pretty boy, pretty boy! Little birdie!" Power danced and clapped her hands while she sang.
"He's cute enough but I just don't know what has you so fixated considering he's a dude," Denji said with a shrug.
A soft flutter of wings above made Aki stiffen. He felt true panic for a split second and quickly muttered, "I will buy you twice as much food if you shut up right now."
"Deal!" Denji shouted. He pumped a fist in the air and declared, "Shit food in huge quantities is better than no food!"
"No far! Me too!" Power yelled. "I want triple or I start spilling secretsssss!"
"Shut up! Fine!" Aki hissed.
"What the hell? No fair!" Denji cried.
Aki pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. He was going to kill them. And the world would thank him. He motioned with his free hand as he said, "Just go inside and order. I'll be in after I smoke."
The two devils hurried off, shoulder to shoulder. They got stuck in the doorway of the diner and shouted about it but managed to solve that on their own. Aki sighed and shook his head. He reached a trembling hand into his pocket to remove his cigarettes. His poor nerves.
"You certainly have your hands full," a familiar voice said softly behind him.
Aki's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat. He turned around slowly to look into the ethereal, pink eyes that haunted his dreams. So beautiful. Just like their owner. Aki's mouth opened to speak and he could only hope it was to invite the devil to join them for a midnight snack.
