Lab Rat (Saiki K)

Ch. 7

Notes: Because kusuo's collar around his neck, it's prevented him from using a few of his powers so he is unaware of a few of them or has forgotten.

It was a new day. I woke up in my new room. It was nice not having to wake up to see those white walls and not having to here the buzz of the lights. I got out of bed and started my new routine for school. I put on my school uniform and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Well i ate breakfast my mom set something down beside me.

"Here you go ku, we know you said you didn't want it but just for emergency or to get a hold of us when you need we got you a phone." My mom said smiling.

I grabbed the flip phone that was set beside me and observed it. I gave a soft smile and looked at my mom. "Thank you!" I said.

She wrapped me in a tight hug. "You're welcome ku, i know it's not much but it was just something simple."

"No it's ok, i like that it's simple." I said.

"Oh and i know you're collar has been causing you a few problems so i went and i got you a scarf. So if you ever feel like you're standing out to much just put it on." She smiled and handed me a black plaid scarf.

I felt it's softness as i grabbed a hold of it. I held it for a while as i felt a warm sensation in my body. I felt so safe and sound.

time skip to near the end of school

"Hey saiki!"

I looked up to see kaidou and kuboyasu at my desk.

"You wanna hang out with us and a few others after school? We're going to Karaoke!" Kaidou finished.

"Yeah it'll be fun!" Kuboyasu said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Huh, what?! You don't know what karaoke is?" Kaidou was shocked.

I shook my head.

"Well basically you just sing a cover to a song i guess would be the best way to describe it." Kaidou said rubbing the back of his head.

"Uh... will it be out in a public area?" I asked.

"No, we have our own private room." Kuboyasu said.

I thought for a second rubbing my chin. It would be good to keep myself distracted.

"Ok." I said.

"Really!" Kaidou said. "Trust me it will be fun! Well come pick you up after school!" He paused. "uh... i guess i don't have you're phone number."

lucky for him i just got a phone today. I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the 10 digit number then slid it to him.

"Here." i said.

I watched his eyes light up. He really must want me as a friend didn't he.

another time skip.

I opened the door to my home and walked in taking my shoes off. I watched as my brother came down the stares and greeted me.

"Hi kusuo! How was you're day so far?" He tried to wrap me in a hug but i backed away. "Still not comfortable with me hugging you huh?"

I ignored his questions and walked into the living room were my mom was watching TV.

"Welcome home kusuo!" She smiled. I sat down on the couch next to her. "How was your day at school?"

"A couple of classmates asked me to hang out today." I said pulling out my new phone and showing her the added number that read kaidou.
