Would You Rather?

Valhalla Boss~

I jerked awake due to an unknown sound blasting in my ears, it didn't take me long to realize it was my alarm clock which I usually didn't utilize, hence the sudden confusion. I reached under the pillow and turned it off pretty quickly. Typically I didn't have any use of it, since I was always up for mom's breakfast, but today because I stayed over at Ran's place due to his request and the system's mission. I had to wake up earlier to reach my school on time.

I used the next five minutes to stare at the ceiling until I concluded it would be for the best to prepare some breakfast and go my way. I tried to stretch, but both Izana and Ran were holding onto me rather tightly.

Since I agreed to stay over, Izana fast became jealous and demanded the same treatment, Ran seemed quite pleased with the results, that was until Shion and Kakucho asked permission to stay over as well. It felt like a weird sleepover with a party on the side.

"Don't go," Izana said after I tried to push his hands away from my body.

"Eh...I have to go to school." I mentioned it was still Friday after all.

"Can you not go?" He asked having those puppy eyes, basically begging me to spend the whole day with him instead. I just gazed at him, a few questions arriving in my mind.

Missing one day wouldn't hurt, but I rather do all the work during school time so I didn't have to take too many homework assignments home.

"Gotta go... but you could join me for breakfast." I knew Ran wouldn't even care to wake up so early since it was like five o'clock.

"Sure." Somehow it ended up me carrying a sleepy Izana to the kitchen. Outside Ran's room, it was a mess. There were actually few drunk people around, probably too wasted to move and return back home. Maybe just buying something at the convenience store would have been easier. Yet I decided to at least look inside the cupboards to see if there was anything decent.

"This won't do, they don't even have eggs today." I looked at Izana and whispered.

"We should go outside to the store."

"Why do I have a feeling you've been here before? You seem to know where everything is." That was quite a stretch actually. I just made breakfast here once.

"Because I visited them before." After I changed my clothes Izana was persistent in questioning me how it came to be that I suddenly became closer with the Haitani brothers, despite our rocky start.

"I have more important matters to think about, so yeah I didn't plan to hold much of a grudge in the first place, which as you have seen seems to have worked in my favor." I guess it was possible because I had someone else to turn to if anything wacky happened thanks to the system's involvement.

We arrived at the store, and since we came so early no lunch boxes were present at this point in time.

"How about we just dig in some instant noodles?" Once we chose two different brands and paid for our purchase, we poured some hot water on top and took our seats at the table in the convenience store. As we were eating this guy decided to outstretch his hand to me. I sighed and just held his hand as he wanted despite knowing it would take more time to inhale the noodles like this.

Once we finished I looked at the time.

"Listen I gotta go." I gave him some money and said.

"Get something for Kakucho and Shion as well." Ran and Rindou seemed to be well off so they probably didn't require my financial support.

At school, Kisaki seemed to be completely pissed at me.

"What is my handsome boy angry about?" He slammed his hand on my desk, I just looked at him quite unimpressed.
