A life beyond insanity (Kaiman x reader)

6. Slow archievement

I was soaked in sweat after this dream.

Breathing hard, I looked over to Nikaido. Glad that I didn't wake her, I got out of bed. Suddenly I felt thirsty. Opening the door, the smell of something burning came up. The smoke came from downstairs. If it was burning, I was ready to wake her, but for now, I wanted to see what caused the burned smell. Arming myself with a frying pan, I slowly looked around the corner. There wasn't much light, but it was clear to see a large silhouette in the kitchen. Raising the pan up, the large figure turned his head to me, "Ah you!"

The sudden sounds of the figure, made my body react, hitting it with the frying pan.

The loud bang woke Nikaido up. She shouted out of what is going on downstairs, as she saw me with tears in my eyes, "I killed someone!"

"Who did you kill?"

I pointed at the figure on the floor, "Over there."

Turning on the light, we both looked in disbelieve at the intruder. It was Kaimann, who was cooking in the middle of the night. Nikaido inspected the bump on his head, "He will survive this. Don't worry."

"In that case...let me have another go."

I knocked him out pretty good with only one blow, since he woke up an hour later. Kaimann winced as I placed a cold pack against his head, "Watch it that hurts!" To get some fun out of it, I slammed the pack onto his head, "ops."

Nikaido had finished the food in the meantime, "Serves you right, breaking into the restaurant. What were you thinking Kaimann?"

"You know I get hungry and you didn't tell me that she would be here!"

I pressed the pack harder making him whine, "It is N/A to you!" Holding the pack on his own now, I went back to Nikaido, "Is he always doing that?"

"Normally, he waits till morning" she said, while we both gave him a stern look.

Kaimann frowned at that, "What are you talking about?!"

We both shrugged, "Nothing."

Getting closer to Nikaido, I whispered into her ear, "I guess he also doesn't walk around in boxers and shirt at nights?" She nodded, "You're right, although he lives around the corner, but still..."

"You know I can hear you chatter! Where are my gyozas?!"

Angry I raised the frying pan back up, "Please allow me to serve him his bloody gyozas?" Nikaido nudged my side, "Then we will never get him out of here." He was eating away the food, while we girls just stood there, tired and exhausted. Kaimann couldn't care less, feeling stuffed and satisfied, "Thank you Nikaido for the food." Not feeling any guilt, I got furious. For his smiling face, I let him trip over my foot. Nikaido didn't see it coming and neither did Kaimann, who feel face first to the ground. He didn't see me do it, but accused me of it anyway. I just shrugged at that, "I guess you just fell, like I have...into knives..." Clicking his tongue he left the restaurant, slamming the door shut. Nikaido told me about his excuses, using it against him. Nikaido sighted loud, "You never become friends if you two always fight."

"I never said that I want to be friends with him in the first place."

"Sleep a night over it and who knows, you might change your mind."

I fakes my laugh, "Oh yeah sure...when hell freezes over." She couldn't help but say it out loud, "You know, you sound like Kaimann just now."

"Thank you Nikaido, now I will have nightmares tonight."

Even for the lizard head was this night a disaster. He couldn't sleep at all, constantly feeling annoyed over the current situation. In the bathroom, he growled at his reflection, seeing the bump getting bigger, "I swear, it that girl isn't gone in the morning...I kill her." The last thing he could think of to calm himself down was to take a walk. If anything didn't help, he would wake Nikaido once more. Talking might do the trick.

The previous nightmare was still giving me the creeps.

Nikaido had already returned to her dreamland, while I moaned out to get some sleep myself. Lying next to her, I hoped that counting something might help, "One hit at Kaimann, second hit at Kaimann, third hit...." The thought was pleasant, but not enough to make me tired. Till thirty I gave up. Closing my eyes, I concentrated on my breathing...breath in...and out...in...and out....

Beep Beep Beep!

What now, I though. Pulling the bed sheet over my nose, I saw something come onto the room.

"Nikaido?" it said, below a whisper.

Getting out of bed, I pushed him off, "For crying out loud, let her sleep." It is not easy to argue while whispering to each other mind. Kaimann tried his best to do the same, "I need to talk to her."

"Do that in the morning."

"I can't sleep"

"Neither can I"

Kaimann didn't leave; he was determined to wake her up. With his mask off, I kept his mouth together, stopping him to say anything. During that, we were wrestling on the floor, till we both were out of breath. I offered him something to drink, if he would let Nikaido sleep. Thankfully he accepted. Back in the restaurant, he waited for me to serve him, only to look over my shoulder, "What are you doing?"

"I am warming up some milk."

"Why?"

I looked back at him, "I make some warm milk with honey."

Skeptical, he stayed behind me, watching my every move, "Does it taste good?"

"You have to try to find out."

It was the first time that we actually were getting along without an argument, fight or physical abuse. He even enjoyed the drink so much; he hardly left anything over for me. We didn't talk about random nonsense, laughing and having fun. Nikaido's words came back; maybe we could be friends after all...

"Too bad there is no alcohol in it"

Curious I asked, "Why is that?"

"I could drink you pretty hahahaha"

...nah...screw that!
