        "Come on, rise and shine, lazy! It's time to go!"

The man awoke to the sound of Teruko attempting to kick down his door, alongside her incredibly loud voice.

"We don't have all day, you idiot!!"

Pissed off, the man sat up, clearly agitated at the girl's shouting in particular.

"Fine, just give me a second! Jeez..."

"No can do! Tachihara is waiting for us, you know! No time to change or anything!" Jouno could definitely hear her smile, which made him even more upset.

"Captain, that's incredibly unsanitary."

Upon hearing Tecchou's voice, Jouno grit his teeth together in annoyance, especially remembering what the brunette had done much earlier that morning. As if the day could get any worse... It had only just started, too.

"Oh. Well, I guess that's true..." It was clear that Teruko was now considering her options.

"Fine, I'll prep the car with Tachihara, and you wait for him to finish up! You should have no problem with that considering how clingy you've been, right?" The girl turned her head to look at her subordinate, who nodded.

"Fine by me. Jouno, I'm coming in." Just as Tecchou reached out for the doorknob, he was interrupted.

"Absolutely not! You're never coming in here again!" The peppermint haired man shouted while scrambling to put on a shirt and clean pants, all while trying to give himself time to clean up a bit.

"Ah. Okay, I'll wait out here."

After a considerable amount of time had passed, the man stepped outside of his apartment with his bags, still pretty pissed off.

"I can help you with those if you want."

"Keep. Your. Hands. Off." The man seethed, promptly walking towards the elevator. "I'm still incredibly annoyed with you."

"Oh. Sorry about that." The brunette spoke with a very slight hint of guilt in his voice, and Jouno happened to notice as he hit the elevator button. There was no way Jouno felt bad about it. No way at all.

"I hate you so much."

"That's a well known fact. I'm aware."

Agitated, the man turned to Tecchou, clearly ready to lose his mind.

"You offered to help with my things, right?" He snapped.

"I did. Are you going to take up that offer?" Tecchou held out his hand to take the bags his coworker had.

"Yes, actually. I'm not dealing with you right now." The next thing the brunette knew, Jouno handed his things over and used his ability, vanishing almost immediately.

"Oh- Well, see you down there, then." The brunette was half talking to himself, but also assumed his coworker had heard him and simply relied on his incredible senses.

Bringing his peer's things down to the car wouldn't take too long, so Tecchou didn't mind.

The man arrived outside and noticed that Tachihara was the one in the driver's seat, although he seemed a little reluctant. Teruko was throwing all of their stuff in the trunk without much thought, and after looking around a little more, Tecchou noticed Jouno nodding off in the back seat.
