Not So Disastrous Life

Dinner Preview

Juliet's POV:

I swayed side to side, walking with bags in my hand. Kusuo walked next to me, his cold expression never changing as he talked. I smiled. I knew the real Kusuo underneath that exterior. If this was how he was so be it. He's a caring man on the inside. As my mother taught me "it's what's on the inside that counts." She is right.

"Juliet."

"Yes?"

"Do you think everyone knowing about us is gonna be an issue?" He asked. I gave him a warm smile.

"Why would you say that? What's it matter if others know we're dating?"

"Well I'm just saying, I've tried to make sure i flew under the radar. You changed that. Sure, I'm not popular cause of....my habits....but now I'm pretty sure most of the guys in school hate me."

"Hate is a strong word. It's also a mean one." I kissed his cheek. "Look it's all going to be ok. As long as we go in together."

"....ok"

We walked, heading back to his place. I knew the night would go well. At least, I hoped. My parents are fairly easy to get along with and so are Kusuo's, but then again, that could lead to problems. I know about Kusuo's powers. Kusuo's parents know I know. The problem is, my parents don't know. I'm afraid that I could slip up and say something. What if I screw everything up? I told Kusuo that everything is going to be ok but what if it's not? If things go wrong then I could l lose the Saiki family's trust. Worst part being, losing Kusuo.

"JULIET!"

I was yanked backwards into Kusuo's arms. A car sped across my view, close enough to feel the heavy breeze it made. I took a deep breath, shaking. I almost died.

"W-what...just..."

"You almost walked out into traffic. What the hell."

"I...was...I was thinking...I'm sorry...I wasn't paying attention." I said in a low, embarrassed and ashamed voice. Kusuo spun me around to face him and hugged me tightly.

"Just be careful. You almost gave me a heart attack. I was scared." He said, kissing my forehead. I blushed lightly.

"I apologize."

That wasn't my smartest move. I suppose I think about things too much. Kusuo saved my life. I'm happy to call him my boyfriend.

Saiki's POV:

This damn girl. First she changes my entire life and then she almost gets killed. What's wrong with her. I don't want to lose her. Not now, not ever.

I took a deep breath before taking Juliet's bags. She gave me a questionable look but didn't argue. I was holding everything now. I don't care.

"Juliet stay close ok?"

"Yeah, alright."

We headed back towards my house. Juliet opened the door and held it open as I walked through with the groceries. I set them on the kitchen counter. I could hear laughing coming from my parents' room.

"What's that?" Juliet asked. I held out my hand, motioning for her to stay where she was as I headed to my mother's voice.

"Heheh. You're so funny!" I heard my mom say.

"Oh please, you're clearly the funnier one." I heard another female voice say. I finally recognized it as I peered around the doorway. It was Mrs. Monteque.

"....hrn...."

"OH! Ku! Look who decided to stop by early!" My mom motioned to the woman beside her. I bowed kindly to her.
