Chapter 6 Girls Talk

Trivia #6: From there on, the "sound effect" communication became a habit for the girls while the boys can never seem to learn it

Kuma was more than happy to finally arrive back at last, worried about her little furry menace that was forcefully left alone. Before she could even call out Catoru's name, the white fluffy cat immediately jumped on to her the moment she swung open the door. It had been waiting faithfully for her while scheming about creative murder ways for a cat in order to get its revenge on its human counterpart. And it's revenge was going to start soon once the sleepiness finally dawns on these humans.

The white feline was pitifully meowing loudly, over and over as it pawed on its owner weakly. And as you would expect, Kuma fell right for its little attention seeking act and gladly showered it in affection. Shoko huffed out smoke from her cigarette casually, not minding that all three of them were being ignored as Catoru shamelessly cuddled with Kuma. Well...it was a different story for her other two classmates since Suguru was just staring blankly at Satoru who was glaring at a cat of all things. How the strongest has fallen low enough to be jealous of a mere cat.

Some time later in the living room, Catoru finally got its share of cuddles and was satisfied. Catoru flashed a smug smirk at Satoru who became even more irked, struggling to stay still and not mangle the blue-eyed imp. The cat was still casually snuggling itself to Kuma's breast as the brunette patted it lovingly, all the while she was laying on Shoko's lap and already half asleep. Satoru was sitting across them, glare filled with fire and scorn. Suguru didn't bother to say anything to him, hands full as he continued to bring in boxes of his items for the move in with the help of his Curses. Shoko didn’t even bother to say anything and just gave him a thumbs up as a sign to also move her stuff.

“Say, Shoko-nee… How do you cook that french thingy? I tried to make it this morning but Suguru kept saying that it was wrong...”

“IT WAS ON FIRE-!” The Curse Manipulator shouted as this morning’s events rushed back into his mind. His shenanigans with Satoru was one thing, but burning down the house because of a cooking attempt was not the way he was going to go down. Distracted by his thoughts, he promptly crashed into one of his Curses and all he could do was put on a blank dumbfounded look.

“...f*ck” His last word went down in history before he was buried in the stack of boxes, the various content of them spilling out though thankfully nothing shattered. Satoru cackled as his best friend emerged out of the pile of boxes, wheezing for air greedily.

Kuma rolled lazily with a yawn and ignored Catoru's protests of her moving, still laying on Shoko's lap while the wannabe doctor smoked away without any concerns. "See Suguru, that's why you shouldn't say things like that. Karma will hit you right back." And Suguru just feels so done clowning himself.

“I won’t cook dinner tonight.”

And with just that, both Kuma and Satoru promptly shut up as Suguru shot a glare at the awkwardly smiling duo. “...we’re sorry.”

His moment of feeling on top of the world was quickly cut short when Shoko suddenly pulled Kuma close and hid her from Suguru, patting the confused girl's head soothingly. "Shhh, that's why you should stay away from the big scary man, imouto. Especially the ones with black bangs and white hair."

Both male could only smile awkwardly, lips pressed thin as they glanced at each other speechlessly. And even worse their newest addition played along willingly, faking heart wrenching sniffles as buried her face deeper to Shoko’s stomach and squishing Catoru in the process. The poor white cat was being suffocated which it gladly accepted considering it was between Kuma's breast. “You’re right Shoko-nee...I should just listen to you and stay away from those barbarians.”
