Shion sat up, whipping his head over to the man with the pink ponytail. "I know the DRUG ADDICT doesn't have shit to say to me!?" Shion yelled.

"I don't get hungover. PUSSY."

"No you right, you just fucking OD every other day. You piece of shit."

Lani's eyes widened. She placed one hand over her mouth, making her way to the table. Her eyes shifted from Sanzu to Shion. Trying her hardest not to laugh. "Oop, the girlies are fighting." She teases.

Kisaki passed the plate of strawberry crepes to Ran, clearly irritated by the constant bickering between Shion and Sanzu. Ran took a crepe and handed the plate to Rindou, who picked one up for himself. Just as he was about to set it down, he felt a nudge from Ran under the table. Rindou glanced up, confused, as his brother silently motioned for him to put a crepe on a plate for Nai as well.

Rindou blinked in confusion, not understanding at first. Meanwhile, Koko was deep in conversation with Nai, oblivious to the quiet exchange between the two brothers.

Ran rolled his eyes and mouthed, "Give her one too."

Rindou shook his head, mouthing back, "No."

Ran scoffed, rolling his eyes again and mouthing, "Just fucking do it," before turning his attention to making a plate for Lani.

Koko, still focused on Nai, cut a piece of his fluffy Japanese pancake and asked, "Have you ever had one of these before, Nai?"

Nai tilted her head, squinting her eyes in thought. "Mmm, no, I don't think so."

With a mischievous grin, Koko brought a forkful of pancake to her lips. "Here, try mine."

"Oh! No, no, it's okay," Nai giggled, waving her hands in polite refusal.

"Come on, doll, you need to eat," Koko cooed, gently pulling her chin toward him. Before she could protest further, he pushed the fork into her mouth.

Nai's eyes widened as she tasted the pancake, looking at Koko as she chewed. He smiled, pulling the fork back, and casually ran his thumb across her lips to catch some leftover whipped cream.

Without thinking, Nai instinctively licked and sucked the whipped cream off his thumb. Koko chuckled in response.

"Oh! Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Nai gasped, backing away in embarrassment and covering her face with her hands.

Koko couldn't stop laughing at how flustered she had become. Nai, internally panicking, thought to herself, I just sucked this man's thumb! Oh god... does this mean his—no! No, no, no.

"So? How was it?" Koko asked with a smug smile, licking his thumb in a deliberate tease.

Nai peeked through her fingers, avoiding his gaze. "It's delicious," she mumbled.

Koko smiled and returned to his meal, clearly pleased with the moment. Spending my money on her sounds like a good idea, he thought to himself.

"You wanna run that by me again, you fuck!" Sanzu snapped, jumping to his feet. He pulled out his gun from its holster and cocked it, pointing it directly at Shion.

Nai and Lani exchanged worried glances, sensing the tension escalating fast. They both knew things could spiral out of control in an instant. But to their surprise, no one else seemed fazed. Benkei and Tsuki continued placing food on the table, while Kisaki, Kakucho, and Koko were already eating, unfazed by the brewing chaos. Hanma casually poured himself some coffee near the fridge, and Ran and Rindou were huddled together, whispering as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening.
