Mato's Janitor

If push comes to shove

Hi! I'm back with another chapter, sorry it's taking so long. Before the anime release, these fanfic wasn't receiving any love so I thought maybe I took it in the wrong direction and people dropped it.

Addressing issues with the pacing and relationships; I've come to realize people warm up to others rather quickly, it doesn't take that long (in my expierience, I go out and socialize a lot). It's been two weeks since the janitor's arrival, and it's been a constant interaction with him both with Ren and Yakumo Ezo (and plenty of other characters) who when it comes to Yuki, they warm up almost immediately. let's not forget that these people are straight (some of them) and never interact with men, moreover the men they do interact with they see with pity in their eyes, so it makes sense for them to warm up rather quickly with Roku.

I'll try being more consistent, even though I have a main fanfiction and it's for the Witcher, you can check it in my profile.

Have a good day and thank you for the reviews.

"Look, it's okay"

"No, it's not"

"It is!"

"It's not"

"Can you two please shut the hell up!?"

Exactly twenty minutes after Roku Denki's awakening, the two captains had decidedly explained what happened to the entire pool and Roku's doings. And to no one's surprise, Roku was upset at the turn of events. So much so that Yakumo had been continuously trying to brush it off as if nothing wrong had occurred, and Roku vehemently denied that every time.

Until Mira had finally run out of patience.

"It's...strange! We'll leave it at that. No one got hurt and nothing got destroyed, so it's not exactly the worst outcome, but it's not normal for a man to evaporate two tons of water in the blink of an eye from pure heat either" Roku's eyes guided themselves back to the empty pool behind them and sighed deeply.

This had not been what he expected; instead of feeling better, he felt even hotter than before, and even though it hurt less now, it bothered him to know he could get that hot without realizing it. It was a hazard to everyone involved, and even going back home sounded like a challenge now.

"I say we bring this to Ren..." He muttered, mostly to himself but still loud enough for the captains to hear them.

Yakumo agreed with her head multiple times whilst Mira stared at him with dish-type eyes, absolutely stunned.

"You in name terms with the commander now?" She asked incredulously and the wind captain laughed in return, totally forgetting her own initial reaction to the revelation.

"She requested it" Was the only thing Roku replied before finally deciding to head back to the changing room and retrieve his clothes.

"Damn..." The blonde Yankee ran a hand through her hair, perplexed, before turning around to look at Yakumo (who was still busy laughing at her) with mischief, "You got yourself a tough rival, huh?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Yakumo's laughter died coldly.

"What do you mean?" At her response, Mira could only smack herself in the face. This stupid individual was indeed the fifth unit's captain, and as always, she was oblivious and numb headed when it came to relationships.

"He calls the commander by her name. Only you do that, and it's only because you lack brain cells. I can't remember the last time I heard her name uttered through someone else's mouth, only her own" Mira's explanation was clearly not enough, if Yakumo's blank face was anything to go by, and the second's captain had to take a deep breath before she decidedly dragged Yakumo's face all over the wet floor, "The commander demanded Roku to call her by her name, Yakumo. Don't you get it? She's clearly on very good terms with your janitor! Open your eyes a little! That woman excels at everything she puts her mind into, if she ever deems it worthy, she will go and steal your boy in less than you can count to ten!" She finally over-explained herself and silence subdued them like a dead-notice.
