What the heck was that? Luck wondered about the previous day when Y/N had kissed him. It was completely out of the blue, but he almost enjoyed it. He was still in bed even though it was almost nine o'clock. Yami's gonna go postal if I don't get up soon. Luck hopped out of bed and put on his clothes. I wonder if Y/N will fight me today? As Luck's foot hits the main level his eyes meet yours. 

You were eating some food Charmy cooked up for the entire squad while being bombarded with questions by a high-strung Asta who was, in turn, ignoring Noelle's obvious pleas for his attention. You had already gotten used to the atmosphere and most of your squad members, but Luck was different. You watch as he walks over to a completely tranquil Magna and immediately electrocutes him by slapping him on the back. 

"You're gonna pay for that one you little twat!" Magna hopped off the couch and yelled after Luck who was already rolling in the aisles. The violence that ensued was too graphic to describe in words that any human being could articulate. Luck was laughing all the way through, he looks nice when he's laughing, it was truly a spectacle. You almost wanted to join in but Yami entered the room and stopped the fighting.

"Listen up I've got a mission for you jerks!" Yami took a puff of his cigarette while he waited for the excitement to die down. "Virgin delinquent." he looked at Magna.

"What!? Only Vanessa calls me that!" Magna protested.

"Oh? I didn't know we could call dibs on insults." Yami stared Magna down. "Anyway I need you and Gordon to get your asses down to Nairn. Some plant mage is causing some ruckus over there and of the available squads we're the closest, not to mention he's weak against your attributes." You could have sworn you heard Gordon said something like I'll make quick work of him, I need another skin suite.

"What are you all doin' then?" Magna inquired.

"Since when do I need an excuse to slack off!?" Yami took another puff. "Anyway," he massaged his forehead, "I have to take most of the other's to Kiten, they need some temporary reinforcements." Yami looked over to Finral. "Take these two morons to Nairn then come back to transport us to Kiten, got it?"

"Yes sir," Finral responded and they were off.

"You two!" Yami points to you and Luck, "I need you to stay here with Henry."

"Why can't he just go with us to Kiten, we could transport the entire base right!?" Asta, still talking much louder than any typical human should, gestured towards the entire base by stretching his arms high above his head. This kid has way too much energy.

"That's a great idea," Yami was clearly being sarcastic, "Except, where the hell would we put this hunk of junk in a city?"

"Oh, I hadn't thought of that," Asta exclaimed, "Why isn't the new kid coming with us?"

Yami grabbed Asta's head, "So many goddamned questions," he moaned, "How about, because I said so." He let go and Asta fell to the floor. Apparently, this happened fairly often as no one tried to stop Yami from juicing Asta's head like a lemon. 

"Are we ready?" Finral had just gotten back. He opened a portal and everybody filed through, except for you and Luck. "So long!" he cried before closing the portal.

"So..." You feel a bit awkward with just Luck there, "Who the hell is Henry?" 

"A ghost," Luck giggles mischievously. You can't help but smile.
