To Be With You Again | Akai X Joker |

Phoenix and a Kaitou

'Third person's POV:'

"Here." Akai gave Joker the spaceship that Joker rightfully stole a year ago. "Thanks." Joker smiled and took the mini sized spaceship and rushed to his room. "Where is he going?" Akai asked Hachi who was playing with Hosshi. "Probably to his treasure room."

Joker came back a few minutes to only see Akai and Hachi along with Acrux sitting on his couch and watching the news about last night's heist. "Hah! I won that game! Hachi. I want my unlimited curry please!" Joker said proudly. "Can I have some!? I missed Hachi's curry!" Akai asked. "Sure thing, Mr. Akai. I'll make it a little spicy for you but just a little so Mr. Joker can handle it." Joker huffed at Hachi. "Hey! I can handle spicy!" Joker said.

"So I can make it spicy and you'll be okay with that?" Hachi asked his mentor. "Uh... Yeah!" Joker said, a slightly bit hesitant. "You know it's okay if you can't handle it." Akai laying back on the couch. "Shut it the Yawning Jerk!" Joker yelled.

After getting the curry ready, they all say around the table and got ready to eat. "Thank you for the food!" All said and took a bite of the spicy curry. Akai loved it! But Hachi only ate a slight bit cause he can't handle a spicy dish like this. Joker on the other hand...

"Hot! Hot! Hot! Why is it this spicy!?" Joker screamed of pain from the food. Hachi tried to find milk or a cold glass from the kitchen leaving Akai and Joker.

Akai simply laughed at the sight. "Shut it!" Joker coughed up a little. "I told you it's okay if you can't handle it." Hachi came back with a glass of milk. Akai went to him bending down and grabbing a glass of milk from Hachi, giving to Joker. "Drink." Joker took the glass of milk from Akai and started drinking. Joker can be seen blushing slightly at the red head.

After he calmed down Joker sighed heavily. "Never eating spicy stuff again!" Joker said, face flopped to the table. Akai laughed and Hachi sighed, Acrux only eating some konpeito given to it. Hachi just smiled slightly then he turned to Akai.

"Mr. Akai? Where are you staying now that Mr. Joker has your spaceship?" Hachi asked. Akai sat down and thought for a moment... "Actually... I was hoping I could stay here in the Sky Joker..." Akai smiled nervously and Joker looked up at him.

"Why stay here?" Joker asked him. "Why not? I mean you're the first friend I had in ages and it would be nice to spend some time with you and play more of our games too!"Akai exclaimed, smiling.

Joker stared at Akai for a moment before looking away, a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. "Tsk. Fine stay. But don't cause trouble and don't burn anything here!" Joker points at him and Akai chuckles. "I can't promise that." Joker rolled his eyes and go to the fridge hoping to find some leftovers that aren't spicy.

After Hachi cleaned up in the kitchen, he turns to see Joker chasing Akai, and he looks angry. "Yawning Jerk! Why did you burn my bed!!" Joker yelled out chasing Akai whose running away, his hands in his pockets. "Sorry! It was an accident!" Akai yelled back with a smile on his face. "You aren't sorry when you're smiling like that! And how do you accidentally burn a bed!?"

They had a little chase for about 30 minutes until Joker finally caught up to him and pinned him down the floor. "Hah... You're buying me a new bed you-" Before Joker could finish, Akai made the tables turn and now he's on top of Joker, pinning him down the ground. "Out of breath are we?" Akai smirked as Joker's face gets a little red and kicks Akai's stomach, causing him to fall back.

"Ugh..! Seriously! Was that all it took for me to get on your nerves? Teasing you?" Akai continues to smirk as Joker gets up and glares at him. "Where the titan am I suppose to sleep now?" Joker brushes off the dust and looks at Akai, crossing his arms in annoyance. "You can sleep with me."

This took Joker by surprise and he step backed, pulling his hat down to cover his red face. "Mr. Akai, are you sure you want to sleep with Mr. Joker? He can be a bit if a handful." Hachi states before he can feel a menacing aura from his mentor. "I mean-! He's totally awesome and can take care of himself just fine!" Joker calms down and crosses his arms and Hachi sighs in relief.

"I don't mind sleeping with Joker, it's just falling asleep next to each other, nothing too complex." Akai shrugged his shoulders and put his hands in his pockets as he waits for Joker's response. "Tsk. Fine, but you're buying me a new bed!" He yells out, hiding a blush while pointing at Akai angerly.

"Fine by me." Akai walk around the Sky Joker since this actually the first time he could see it more up close in the inside. "Mr. Joker? Your face has been turning red all day since Akai-sama arrived, is something wrong." Joker is caught off guard a little by Hachi's question, not really sure how to respond to that.

"I- don't know..." He mumbles out, looking at Akai whose walking around the Sky Joker in curiosity. His face heats up a little while looking at the alien Phoenix but doesn't seem to notice it.

At night, Joker walks into Akai's room in his pajamas and notices Akai just took off his hoodie and is only wearing his regular flame pants and a black shirt. "Oi. Yawning Jerk, do you not have other clothes?" He asks, sitting down on the bed as he waits for the taller male's answer.

"Other clothes? No? I mean in fairness, we kinda wear the same clothing over and over again unless we need to change outfits for the occasion." Akai shrugs and plops on the bed, grabbing the pillows and blanket all to himself.

"Well tomorrow we're going to buy you some clothes! And don't take all the pillows and blanket to make a nest for yourself-!" Joker tries to pull the blanket away from Akai but Akai, being the strong alien he is, pulls it back leading to Joker being pulled with it.

Joker is pulled to Akai's side on the bed and Akai smiles and covers the blanket on both of them. With the blanket and Akai's warm body temperature, Joker is all warmed up in this cold night. As Joker rolls himself to the edge of the bed and turn off the lights for the night, Akai being already asleep, Joker looks at the other male and his face heats up and his heart beat fasten.

Joker is left with his thoughts.

"Why do I keep acting weird around him?"

He asks himself, quietly whispering as he holds the pillow close, facing the opposite direction of Akai.

His heart continues to beat faster and faster as he feels Akai's heat.

"No."

"I'm not."

He clenches his fist close to his heart.

"I'm not in love with Akai."
