Trouble in paradise (official)

Chapter 6 " Bet Bet."

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

"I don't get hungover. PUSSY!"

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

Lani's eyes widened as she made her way toward the table, one hand flying over her mouth as she looked between Sanzu and Shion, trying her hardest not to laugh.

"Oop, the girlies are fighting."

Sanzu shot her a look. "Don't fucking start."

That only made her snicker as she took a seat.

Kisaki passed the plate of strawberry crepes to Ran, clearly irritated by the constant bickering between Shion and Sanzu. Ran took one before handing the plate to Rindou, who grabbed a crepe for himself. Just as he was about to set the platter down, Ran nudged him beneath the table.

He blinked in confusion, not understanding at first before pointing to the extra plate in front of him.

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

He 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.

While the brothers silently argued, Nai was completely oblivious, too busy talking to Koko beside her to notice any of it. He cut a piece from the fluffy Japanese pancake on his plate. "Have you ever had one of these before, Nai?"

She tilted her head, squinting slightly as she thought about it. "Mmm... no, I don't think so."

"You don't think so?"

"I don't know." She giggled. "Maybe? It looks good though."

"Here, try mine." Koko held a forkful toward her.

"Oh! No, no, it's okay." Nai waved her hands in polite refusal. "I'll get one."

"Just try it, doll."

She hesitated before finally leaning forward and taking the bite. Her eyes widened almost immediately as she chewed.

"Oh my God."

Koko chuckled. "That good?"

"Mhm!" Nai covered her mouth while she finished chewing. "Okay, wait. That's actually really good."

"Told you."

She smiled at him. "Thank you."

Simple. Harmless. But Koko seemed pleased with himself anyway. Across the table, Shion apparently hadn't learned when to shut the fuck up.

"No, seriously," he continued, looking at Sanzu. "How the hell are you gonna call me an alcoholic when you stay fucked up 24/7 junkie?"

Sanzu's chopsticks hit the table.

"You wanna run that by me again, you fuck?"

Shion grinned. "You heard me."

Sanzu shot to his feet, pulling his gun from its holster and cocking it before pointing it directly at him.

Nai froze and Lani slowly stopped chewing. Neither of them moved as they exchanged a worried glance.

What the fuck is going on? Nai mouthed.

Lani gave the smallest shrug.

The weirdest part wasn't even that Sanzu had a gun pointed across the breakfast table. It was that nobody else seemed particularly concerned about it. Benkei and Tsuki continued setting food down while Kisaki, Kakucho and Koko ate like this happened every fucking morning. Hanma stood near the fridge pouring himself coffee, and Ran had gone right back to arguing with Rindou under his breath.
