The one thing that Setsuka loved about Mikado and Nikei was that they cared for both her and each other...when those two weren't pettily bickering over something or another. She was used to their antics by now, and she loved to cuddle right up against one of her boys and fall asleep.

After her trip to the pharmacy to get her antidepressant prescription, cuddling was all that she wanted to do right now. She went into their dorm room and saw Mikado practicing his magic in the middle of the kitchen. She stared in wonder as the blonde whirled around, controlling his magic in time with coordinated steps.

It was only after Mikado dispersed his magic that he saw the billiards player in the doorway. "Goodness, my apologies! I was practicing or my practical exam, I didn't notice you!" He hastily apologized, and Setsuka quickly put her medicine in a cabinet before going to hug her boyfriend.

"It's alright, Kado, you were doing wonderful! I'm sure the judges will be impressed!" She held him tightly, even leaning up to kiss his neck and hearing his flustered whimpers. She still thought it was funny that there was a ten-centimeter height different between them, and that there was an eight-centimeter different between Mikado and Nikei. Yet between Mikado and Setsuka, the wizard was the one who got flustered easier.

"A-Ah, I suppose you're right, love..." The blonde answered, leaning down for a proper kiss. The two of them shared one for a few seconds before pulling away. "I'll start making lunch in...say, half an hour."

"Sounds great! Maybe we can reheat some leftovers while we're at it." Setsuka replied, going on her toes for another kiss. "Say, where's Nik? Didn't he go to the work room last night?" She asked, looking towards the other bedroom. Their dorm came with two bedroom, but since they only slept in one of them, the other was converted into a room for them to practice their talents and work in. They left the bed in there since it belonged to the school, and Mikado liked to meditate on it.

"Yes. I brought him food a couple times, but I'm not sure that he's touched it. He did down the energy drinks I brought him on the spot though. I'm not quite sure that's healthy, I hope he got some decent rest." Mikado sighed, knowing that their notorious workaholic probably didn't sleep at all.

Setsuka was thinking the same thing as she kept looking towards the door. "...Let's go check on him."

They walked over to the door and opened it, seeing the blinds still open from last night, the extra bed not slept in, and a very tired-looking journalist sitting at the desk and continuing to type. His hair was messy, and his eyes were slightly squinted as dark bags hung under his eyes. Setsuka would describe his appearance, without exaggeration, as a mess - a far cry from the clean appearance that he spent a long time maintaining and prided himself on.

"Oh, Nik. Have you not slept at all?" The billiards player worried as she looked down at her boyfriend. Nikei didn't notice her or Mikado, heavily concentrated on his work. Mikado suddenly placed his hand on his shoulder and startled him.

"Huh?! Wh-When did you guys come in here?!" Nikei exclaimed, his voice weak from exhaustion. He feebly tried to move Mikado's hand off, but the wizard caught his wrist in midair.

"What a sorry sight you look, doll. You haven't eaten eaten the food I brought you." Mikado sighed in disappointment. He hated when Nikei and Setsuka neglected themselves, even if it was unintentional on the latter's part.
