Delilah

Chapter 27

Delilah POV

Haruto found the ugly furball.

Here's how it went.

"It's always a Stacey." Haruto sighed disappointingly.

We were both currently chilling in my room. He's on my ipad, watching Miraculous LadyBug. Ruto was laying on his stomach, his feet swaying in the air as he multitasked.

I sat next to him, Len's book in my hand, as I listened to him rant about this annoying girl from his school.

"You know what's worse?" he asked in Japanese.

"Mm. What?"

"She's not even Japanese!" he exaggerated. "She walks into class like she owns the place. I own the place. Me!"

I couldn't help but smile.

He's experiencing an enemy to lover story at six years old. Then there's me, learning how to use a gun at six.

"She walked in and stood in front of me, wanting to sit in my place!" he proceeded to exclaim. "I sat there my whole life and she just came in and told me to move! The audacity of the girl-"

"There, there, Ru." I chuckled, patting his head. "She's just trying to be your friend."

"She tried to stab me with a pencil." the kid scoffed.

I snorted. "If it makes you any better, I have a friend named Louis. When we first met, I had a gun on his head."

"Poor dude." Ru mumbled. "What'd you do, kill him and become friends with his grave?"

I smacked his head playfully. "No!" I laughed. "We became best friends."

He raised his eyebrow tauntingly. "I don't see any Louis. Where is he now?"

"Somewhere in the other end of the world, maybe." I shrugged. "We parted years ago."

"Do you want to see him again?"

"One day, in the future, yeah. I hope to."

He smiled softly at me with his round eyes. "I want to have a best friend like your Louis."

"You will, Ru. It's hard to miss when you see one yourself."

"I want some cereal," he said suddenly.

I think he's starting to get the habit of saying random things out of nowhere.

"Go ahead and help yourself." I gestured towards my opened doors.

Then he went downstairs and a few minutes later, his loud scream echoed through the mansion.

I was rushing off the stairs, finding my brothers and his brother doing the same thing.

The boys drew their guns and burst into the kitchen-

"Are you fucking with me?" Asashi laughed.

I couldn't help but smile at the sight of Haruto eating cereal with furball. He just fed the duck some cereal- Kid really needs help.

"So that's where it ran to." Rowan laughed next to me.

"Hi." Ru smiled brightly. "I found a duck in the box."

"We thought you were in trouble!" Maxwell scowled.

"I thought so too." Ru shrugged. "But I screamed five minutes ago. I'd be dead by now if this is how slow you sloths run."
