tw: weird thoughts about eating

Tsumi and Yukio run as fast as they can in the rain. The redhead holds her coat over her head as she tries her best to keep up with the boy in front of her. She squints and sees Rin and Yukio's dormitory up ahead and bites her lip to keep her mind from running faster than her legs.

"Shit, shit, shit..." Yukio mutters to himself. He takes a quick glance behind him at Tsumi and notices her panting heavily over the sound of the rain drumming on the bridge. "We're almost there," He tells her. "Sorry about this..."

Tsumi grips her coat tighter in her hands and shakes her head, "It's alright. I'm happy to help." Yukio flashes a quick smile at his friend.

"Thank you," he says. Thunder claps as the two teens reach the dorms. Inside at the entryway, Tsumi carelessly throws her drenched coat on the floor. Yukio catches his breath while he tries to wipe raindrops off of his glasses with a wet shirt. It doesn't work and he gives up. Yukio and Tsumi both jump when they hear a loud crashing coming from what should be the kitchen.

Tsumi almost bumps into her brown haired friend when he stands in the cafeteria staring at a blue light coming from the kitchen.

"Fuck-" He curses.

"What's going on??" Tsumi pushes Yukio out of the way and climbs over the kitchen counter, landing on the floor and biting the tip of her thumb, drawing blood.

The door bursts open, "Rin!" Yukio calls out. Both his and Tsumi's eyes finally take in Rin lying on the floor, dishes and food all over the place, a small demon passed out on the prep table, and the headmaster sitting atop one of the cabinets clapping slowly. "Sir Pheles, what happened?" Yukio demands. Tsumi wipes the blood from her thumb off on her leg and squats down next to Rin.

"They fought bravely to within an inch of their lives!" Mephisto explains with extra charm. "Their powers were let loose- exploding through the kitchen!!!" He waves his arms around for dramatic affect.

"They had a cooking battle?" Tsumi asks. Rin opens one of his eyes.

"Hey," He says tiredly. He smiles when he sees Tsumi kneeling beside him. "You come here often?" Tsumi blocks out Mephisto's flashy retelling of the cookout between Rin and the kitchen demon and overthinks Rin's terrible flirting with red cheeks.

"No, not really," the redhead muses.

"Holy shit- have you ever had this guy's fried rice?" Rin jerks his thumb in the kitchen demon's direction. Tsumi shakes her head. "Fucking awesome, man." The boy holds his hand up for a high five he never receives, instead getting a compliment back from the demon. "Stopppp, I wouldn't call my katsu bowl exceptional, but..." The kitchen demon finally swipes at Rin's hand that still waits for a high five. Tsumi can't stop herself from laughing. She looks at Yukio, who stands there with an expression that reads confused, concerned, somewhat impressed, and slightly disappointed. He smiles awkwardly at his friend.

"Yep," he laughs nervously. "That's my brother..." Tsumi looks back to Rin when she feels his hand on her shoulder.

"We're gonna make the ultimate fucking lunch..." he says. "You in, Ukobach?" The demon yaps with determination.
