"And you choked him?"

"I know... why not you, right?" the redhead stated sarcastically, ignoring the whining sound emitted by the blond.

Shidou and Nicole, the latter dressed as Nicklaus, were friendly talking in the cafeteria, each of them with a dish composed of healthy carbohydrates, fiber and protein. The topic of conversation was, of course, the encounter she had the afternoon before with Micheal Kaiser and his naked... manhood.

The redhead swallowed the piece of salmon she was eating and flashed a smirk to the blond next to her, pointing the tips of her chopsticks toward his pelvis.

"I have to admit it wasn't a bad sight after all."

Shidou raised an eyebrow, leaning his back toward the chair and man-spreading his legs, as if to demonstrate something. One of his hands rested on his own thigh, abutting near the junction of his pelvis, hoping her eyes would move in that same direction to follow his movements.

"Better than mine?"

Nicole was not distracted by the boy's agitation, so she remained with her gaze fixed on her own plate as she grabbed some vegetables.

"I'm not sure, you should let me double-check it-"

Unfortunately for Shidou, who would have gladly lowered his pants at Nicole's almost finished request, a third person sat down in front of them.

They both looked up at the same time, aiming their eyes of different colors at the heterochromatic ones.

Nicole felt Shidou's arm claw at her waist and slide her toward him, the grip around her so strong that it unleashed sexuality and arrogant lust.

Aiku lowered his eyes to the boy's bronze hand before raising them back to Nicole. He secretly gritted his teeth, so much so that the redhead could not keep her gaze from being drawn to his suddenly more defined jawline.

"Nicole."

The redhead averted her gaze for a second to make sure that no one around her, leaving out Shidou, was close enough to hear the name of her true identity. Once she made sure it was safe information, her sharp red eyes returned to the boy.

Nothing in them suggested seriousness or reproach though. She bent her head over one shoulder, a movement the boy had learned to interpret as "Go on."

He opened his mouth wide to speak, wondering when he met the sly, sneering gaze of the demon who still had his claws wrapped around the redhead's waist.

He exhaled heavily through his nose, swallowing the lump of resentment in his throat and returning his attention to the main character.

"Wanna train with me today?" he asked, but the icy, intense look he was getting from those two blood-warm eyes made him realize that Nicole had easily seen through the false request.

He remained under the protagonist's scrutinizing and analytical gaze for a long time. So many seconds passed that even Shidou saw himself forced to loosen his grip a little and straighten his back, feeling almost called out.

Nicole, however, did nothing except slowly look away and grab another piece of smoked salmon with her chopsticks, bringing it to her lips.

"Sure." she affirmed. And that was all, a single word of confirmation. Then she placed the cutlery in her mouth and pointed her red eyes into the heterochromatic ones.
