Babysitting

It has only been one day and Rin is bored already. It isn't just because of the long day he is having or even the classes, which just finished up not too long ago. No, it was the fact that this human he must watch, Yukio, is just so dull. He would rather be with Mephisto, who annoys him from time to time. Yet, this boy is still considered to be his full-blooded brother but he doesn't quite claim. Why would he claim someone he didn't grow up with?

Rin follows his twin brother from behind, watching him with emotionless eyes and a blank face. That is until his 'brother' turns around and smiles at him. Yukio is pointing at the dorm he has been staying at. Perhaps he can convince Rin to at least come inside and have a proper meal? It is the nice thing to do, after all. He can use this as a chance to get to know the person he is curious about.

"Would you by chance like to come in and visit for a little bit?" Yukio asks as he opens the door and gestures Rin inside, "I can fix you something to eat before you have to go back home for the night. So, how about it?"

Rin blinks, surprised by the other boy's offer, and thinks for a moment. At first, he wants to say no, as he would rather be at home. However, Mephisto did tell him to get to know Yuko and what better way is there to do that than at least spend some time with him outside of class? The demon eventually nods.

"Sure, I guess it wouldn't hurt to hang out for a few, I didn't exactly have anything to eat today," Rin sighs before briefling smiling at Yukio, "If I were to come up home hungry, then my brother would get on my case and decide it would be a good idea to cook me something..."

Truth be told, Mephisto isn't the best cook, in fact, he is far from it. Every time he must eat something Mephisto makes, he almost always feels sick to his stomach. Of course, he would never say that out loud as he doesn't want to think about any kind of consequences.

Yukio smiles once more as he enters the dorm, looking over his shoulder as he does so to make sure Rin follows him. Rin does so and closes the door behind him. The exorcist leads Rin towards the Cafeteria, looking back occasionally to get a glance of the other. For some reason the other boy seems familiar to him...

Rin pretends not to notice the fact that Yukio is staring back at him. This happens quite often, as he tends to have a lot of humans look at him. Maybe it was mostly since he is almost always seen tagging along with Mephisto. There is also the fact that he knows he is quite handsome, probably caused by the rather large ego has.

"And finally, here is the Cafeteria," Yukio says and gestures towards the general area, also noticing that there are food trays there already, "Oh, it seems like our food has already been prepared. I don't know who makes the food but every time I look, there is always food there. It's very good, too!"

"You have your own dorm cook then? How nice," Rin comments before raising an eyebrow as he looks at the food, already knowing that the cook just so happens to his elder brother's familiar, he would recognize that cooking anywhere. "Does anyone else living in this dorm or something?"

Yukio stays quiet for a moment as he goes over to pick up the food trays, Rin having already sat down in his seat as he did so. He can't help but glance back at Rin before sitting down across from him and setting down their trays.

"Right now, I am the only one staying in this dorm, you see, before I was assigned here this dorm was practically abandoned. I have no idea why, though," He responds before stabbing at the food with his fork and taking a quick bite and swallowing before continuing, "What about you, are you staying in any dorms or anything?"

Rin was about to eat before he bursts out into laughter at Yukio's question. The demon thought that the answer is rather obvious, since he has been raised by Mephisto all of his life but apparently not. Where else would someone like him stay other than the mansion? Well, there was that but he has also stayed in Gehenna on Occasion but there is no way Mephisto would be happy if he mentions something like that. Knowing his luck, it would ruin any progress he makes with this mission of his.
