The Wondrous Adventures of Misfortune

Party Time

Against Midorima's wishes, the next day, he and Takao were on their way to Kise and Kasamatsu's mansion. For once, Takao willingly chose to not drive, due to his lack of recent experience. He wasn't too confident of his driving skill, not that any of his friends had any trust in his "skill" at driving either, he just took too long to realize it himself.

With the human behind the wheel, the pair safely arrived in a timely manner. They actually got there before anyone else did, which was most likely due to Takao's eagerness to see all his friends again. The demon had even practically run to the door once the car was parked. The human couldn't be annoyed at the other male, he understood how happy he was to be back. So for now, Midorima would let Takao be overly excited and annoying. He'd honestly rather see him like that than depressed and hurt.

"Come on Shin! You're so slow!" Takao cheerily called out as he rang the doorbell more times than necessary.

"I'm coming. Calm down you fool." Midorima muttered as he quickened his walking pace. As he approached the door, Kise's voice could be heard through the door.

"Come in! It's open!"

"What would he do if we were robbers or murderers?" Takao chuckled questioningly.

"He's an angel. He'd be fine." The human sighed as he opened the door. He walked in first, with the demon following close behind after closing the door.

"Hey, you two!" Kise was setting up orange streamers on a ladder as Kasamatsu looked concerned. He was trying to hold the ladder steady as Kise reached further than he should be causing the ladder the wobble. Talking and turning to look at the pair didn't help anything.

"Ryouta, focus!" The angel's lover sighed as he was forced to remind him of his task. The blond nodded and finished hanging the colorful streamers. He carefully climbed down as his lover began to speak to their friends. "You guys are here early."

"We were eager to see everyone!" Takao smiled a huge smile, while the green-haired human just looked annoyed to be alive. "Can I help with anything?"

"What? No, it's a party for you. Why would you help set it up?" Kise spoke up faster than Kasamatsu, but those were going to be his exact words as well.

"I'm here early. Come on, no one needs to know." Takao's voice was slightly suggestive, which caused Midorima's mind to go in a completely different direction.

"Just what exactly are you wanting to help them with?" Midorima's questioning tone has a hint of suspicion in it. He knew what Takao meant, but he just couldn't help but ask that.

"However you just thought is definitely not what I meant." Takao chuckled, causing his human to be slightly embarrassed due to his oddly dirty thought.

"Speaking of such things, did you two resume your activities after we left?"

"Of course not. There wasn't anything to resume in the first place." The green-haired male scoffed at the thought, even though deep down he knew it had been a "moment" that he'd like to resume. However, he wasn't about to admit that, not even to himself.

"Ryouta, leave them be. We have to finish up before the others arrive." The black-haired human pulled his lover along with him as he exited the room. That left the demon/human pair all alone.

"So, should we just go and sit down?" To Takao's question, the human walked over to the large sectional he remembered sitting on right after he'd first met the demon. Of course, Takao instantly followed after him and chose to sit right next to him. Once the two were seated, they remained in silence it was slightly awkward, but the human paid no mind. His mind was busy with the many things were flying through his head at that moment.
