Sasaki-sensei [Haise x Reader]

Part 58: Felt like 2 years

Now that the revenge arc was over, I could finally get back to my own tiny apartment.

"It's only been a few days but it feels like I've left for two years," I joked at Shin. He's helping me clean the kitchen while I took care of laundry.

"This joke is not funny, and you should just marry Haise already if you're this bad at doing house chores," he said without looking up, still scrubbing on the stove area.

"I'm not that bad," I protested, "My place is decent, you're just acting like a mother-in-law inspecting every corner for dust!"

"Do you realize that germs can also threaten your wellbeing? I'm only doing my job as your guardian spirit."

"Hmm..." The gears in my head are spinning. "I agree. Will you keep watching over me while I take a shower?"

He looked up and furrowed his brows.

"Okay, I just realized that sounded a bit wrong," I laughed. "I mean, you know... you keep cleaning up around here while I go relax under warm water."

"Wait," he stopped what he's doing and hurried to the bathroom. "The floor is slippery there, you'd tripped. Let me—" He poured water over the soapy slippery floor and began wiping it away to make sure it's safe.

"Shin-chan... I'm not a child," I patted his shoulder, having to tiptoe because he's damn tall. "I've lived on my own for years here and everything's safe."

He stood there looking at me with folded arms.

"You're being weird, why are you so serious," I got spooked by the absence of his usual dorky behavior.

"Your boyfriend," he replied, "he told me to take care of you while you're alone."

"Don't make it sound like Haise is into cuckoldry," I tiptoed to smack his head.

He finally laughed. "You are really impossible, just go get married already so I don't have to look after you."

"Thanks, Mother!"

Unbeknownst to me, an interesting discussion took place at Haise's.

"Are you asleep, Gin-san?" Haise approached the silver-haired man lying on his bed.

"Yes, I'm lucid dreaming about this giant strawberry milky pudding I'm about to literally dive my body into," Gin replied.

"I can make you strawberry pudding if you want it right now," Haise offered. To this genie who granted your dream come true, Gin quickly rose up, "I'll carry you to the kitchen, let's go!"

"Your body is still recovering, please don't do anything stupid," Haise chuckled.

"You know I don't stick my dick in stupid, Haise," Gin shrugged.

Haise ignored this and kept making his way to the kitchen, recalling in his head the pudding recipe he read in a cookbook last week.

"How sweet do you prefer it?" Haise asked while preparing the ingredients.

"Surprise me," Gin answered, but then he regretted this reply and fixed it, "Wait- wait... I don't want this to be one of those Pinterest crap healthy recipes, just make it as sinful as possible."

Chuckling, Haise agreed, "Well, if you're going to have the dessert anyway, it might as well be enjoyable rather than healthy."

Gin was quite surprised. "Haise... you've become less uptight."

"Character development," Haise said nonchalantly. "Besides, I've always been lenient."

"Yeah especially to the people you're weak to," Gin observed his best friend, "like your girlfriend."
