A Gift From a Far Away World (A Seven Knights Fan Fiction)

Round 3: Trouble! Misunderstanding All Around

In the afternoon, when it was time for all students of Terra Demesne University to mill around the campus ground, either playing sports or eating lunch, Kris was once again under the biggest oak tree at the inside park. Though, today for some reason neither Dellons nor Rudy was there with him.

Well... we have our respective schedules after all. It would be weird if we were together all the time-Kris sighed deeply as he bit into his pasta bread, his lunch for the day, at the same time he tried to focus on another mystery novel he had brought from home today to read as a mean of spending his break time. However, while he was at it, he couldn't help recalling what happened this morning...

... After they went home from their morning jog, Kris had retreated to his room to prepare for his lesson. As usual, Dellons was the first one to hog the bathroom and Rudy was in the kitchen to fix them some breakfast since it was his duty today. Kris, together with Spike, got the dishes chore, so he could take his time preparing. Jave was on grocery shopping, Eileen on laundry, while Rachel and Dellons were in house-cleaning duty.

Kris stayed longer in his room to search for his experiment note while he was waiting for Dellons to finish his morning shower, since Kris also needed to take a soak after running around the town. Actually, he already started looking for his note last night, but he couldn't find it in any of his drawer. It wasn't inside his wardrobe as well. He finally gave up after he yawned for the tenth time since he started his search and went to bed. Now, feeling fully awake and fresh from the morning workout, Kris looked for some secret compartments under his studying desk, under his bed, or in any nook and cranny that he could think of inside his room, but still nada.

It was weird. He was Kris Tenebra. Kris knew himself pretty well. He wouldn't keep something important to him too far away from his body. The place would be secretive enough, but somewhere he could access easily when he needed it in case of emergency. If it wasn't in any secret compartment in his room, then it must have been somewhere in this house. Keeping it at his campus risked it being found by someone else. His independent (family) lab... was too far away from both his current house and campus, so accessibility was a problem.

Do we have a basement in the house...?-Kris contemplated to look for it after confirming with his body memory that indeed, the house had a basement. But before he could execute his plan, Rudy knocked on his door, informing him that breakfast was ready and that he would wake up the others so they could have breakfast together.

Kris decided to postpone his search for later, then grabbed some of his clothes and a towel before he went to set them at the counter near the bathroom. He knocked on the bathroom door twice to tell Dellons that breakfast was ready and he should hurry before Jave ate it all.

Kris then joined Rudy at the kitchen to help him set the table. Soon, everyone trickled inside the kitchen one by one. Eileen was still in her pajama, yawning, when she entered. Rachel was already prim and proper, even as far as bringing her own brewed herbal tea to drink because she refused to drink tea from a tea bag in the morning. Jave and Spike walked in together, already with their bags and ready to go since they had an early scheduled classes, Jave to the field and Spike to the factory. Dellons came in last, still damp and looking fresh with his towel hanging on his neck, topless, and only wearing a pair of sweat pants that clung to his hips sexily.

"Such indecent sight in front of the ladies," Rachel frowned at him, her cheeks colored pink slightly, as Eileen wolf-whistled blatantly eyeing Dellons' abs like a piece of meat.

"Well, you have great taste, ladies," Dellons winked at them playfully as he sat down beside a ruefully smiling Rudy. Jave made a barfing noise and Spike just ignored them all as he ate. Kris resolutely didn't look at Dellons' way at all, feeling a bit uncomfortable, especially after Eileen commented that she wouldn't mind sleeping with Dellons if he weren't such an ass.
