After about two weeks of that hellish illness, you were finally able to return to work and open the café again. Your friends were incredibly kind to stay and take care of you and clean your home while they were there. They were so kind! That's why you had invited them over for dinner tonight; You wanted to express how grateful you are. You even made Matcha Cream Daifuku for dessert!
As you bustled about your kitchen, you began plating the onigiri, yakitori, vegetable gyoza- ah, maybe you did make too much. You frown to yourself, wondering if they'd be willing to take some home with them. Your cat watched in mild interest as you sprinkled a garnish atop select dishes, following your hands as you placed them on the kitchen table. In each corner of the table, you placed the main dishes and made sure to place cups of water as well.
Were you overthinking this? Possibly. You couldn't help it though! You were just so thankful and you wanted them to feel as appreciated as they made you feel. Things were looking up recently. It was like some higher power had decided to bless your hard work. Glancing at the time, you realized that your friends would be over in fifteen minutes. Rushing to your bedroom with Kira, you throw on the outfit you had laid out and make yourself more presentable, then kiss the top of your furry friend's head and close the door behind you.
You take a deep breath, inhaling the sweet lavender plug-in you recently bought, and say a quick prayer.
Kami-Sama, thank you for bestowing good fortune upon me. I am ever thankful for your blessings. As I lay out this incense, I vow that I will visit the shrine once more this weekend. Arigato gozaimasu.
Just as you finish your prayer, the doorbell rings. You swiftly open the door, revealing each of the men wearing something rather nice. You make way for the three to enter your home.
"(Y/N)-Chan! It smells so good in here!" Shalnark gives you a brief hug, handing you a bouquet. Your face flushes at the gesture.
"A-ah! Arigato, Shalnark. They're beautiful!"
"They're from all of us, (Y/N)-Chan. You should thank them too." Shalnark says cheekily.
"Arigato, Phinks. Feitan." Phinks rubs the back of his neck and smiles at you, while Feitan gives you a small nod. Feitan had become more comfortable around you these last few months. He began talking more and he had finally taken off his bandanna around you. He also began to show more affection- granted it was few and far between... but, it's the fact that he's warming up to you now!
The three men take off their shoes at the doorway and slip on the house slippers you had purchased for them, then you all make your way to the dining room.
"Ahh, (Y/N)-Chan, you made so much food!" Shalnark exclaims. You watch as Phinks and Feitan silently argue over who would sit next to you and Shalnark reprimanding them for their poor house guest manners with a full heart. It was the small things, you realized, that mattered the most to you. Times like this, the simple things, being in good health... it all was truly a blessing.

Shalnark helped you pack the leftovers into a few Tupperware bowls as Phinks washed the dishes and Feitan tidied up the dining room. You had never felt so content in your life. Your gaze travels from the Tupperware to Shalnark's relaxed features. He was rather handsome. From his honey-colored hair to his pretty green eyes; his soft features and his earthy scent. Shalnark had an amazing sense of humor and he was always so kind and polite.
As you ponder this, your chest begins to feel warm- almost as if you were laying in direct sunlight, but not so much that it burns. You knew what this budding feeling was. You knew where this would lead. Though, what you didn't know was that Shalnark noticed your gaze.
Shalnark noticed your lingering gazes recently. He noticed how you seemed to look away rather quickly if he caught you staring. He certainly noticed the heat that would creep into your cheeks when he would tease you. He knew what was happening, what was about to bloom, and it made him ecstatic. He was so happy that his efforts to romance you were fruitful. Now, he had to help you along with the other two... or did he? Logically speaking, you didn't seem the type to be able to love multiple people at the same time. If he... No, he couldn't do that to his friends...
Phinks wasn't blind. He knew that you were in the early stages of a crush when it came to Shalnark. He knew the things that were running through your mind.
Oh, Shalnark is so kind.
Shalnark is so funny.
Shalnark is so handsome.
Shalnark, Shalnark, Shalnark.
Phinks was trying his best. He was trying to be patient, but he isn't the most patient guy. Phinks also knew that Shalnark was the one to introduce him to you. If it weren't for Shalnark, he wouldn't have even known you existed. That was a crime in itself! He wanted so desperately for you to look at him the same way you looked at his buddy...
Feitan was aware of his surroundings at all times. That's how he knew that you weren't anywhere near your room right now. As he quietly searched through your drawers, he found a bag that wasn't there a few weeks ago- and inside was a new lingerie set. It was a pretty, pale (color) with thin, lacey panties and fluffy garters. The bralette that came with it was the same mesh material as the panties and his favorite part... the pretty leash and collar that came with it. Inside the bag was a note that read:
(Y/N),
I've noticed that you've got a few of my friends coming into your café regularly, so I brought it upon myself to purchase a little something just in case things get a bit... heated ;)
You won't have to wear it anytime soon, I'm sure, though I would keep it just in case. I'm sure things are more than they seem, dear.
~Hisoka
Hisoka bought this? You were close with Hisoka? Since when? Feitan would have to talk to the others about this. Until then, he would have to settle for taking that skimpy underwear it came with...
a/n: hello, loves. sorry, it took a million years for me to update this. I need to sit down and brainstorm what is gonna come next, where I want this to go, and what the end will be. if you guys want anything incorporated, please comment and I'll see what I can do for you guys. shit is gonna hit the fan in this book soon and it's going to get super dark.
