Rabies

Dinner

  As I was setting the last plate onto the table, I glanced up to see Kyōtani walking in through the doorway with his hands shoved into the front pockets of the sweatpants. I raised a brow at him in question, and he let out a little sigh from his nose.

  "Your mom won't fucking stop staring at me." Was his verbal reply.

  "She is not my mom." I growled while shooting him a brief glare before going to a drawer to grab some silverware. Turning back around to go to the table, I halted while slightly jumping back. "Ever heard of personal space? It's a lovely fucking thing." Snarling at the blond since he stood so close, I then tried to go around him.

  "Your lip." He lowly growled while grabbing my chin and making me look at him. Craning my neck to see him clearly, I saw that he had a furious expression on his face.

  "What are you so angry about? It's my lip, and I got the guy back." I would have jerked away, but the intensity of his golden gaze locked on my features kind of had me frozen.

  "Does it hurt?" His face softened in the slightest, and I felt his thumb brush over the cut on my bottom lip. There was a slight sting, but I felt as if I couldn't move, and I fucking hated it. I could feel the heat building up in my cheeks as I glared at the taller male. He finally realized what he had done, and the tips of his ears turned a dark red as he quickly pulled away. "Never mind...." Kyōtani said after clearing his throat and turning to have his broad back to me.

  "Just sit down and eat." I growled while putting the utensils on the table. "Food's ready!" Shouting to alert my legal guardian, I sat across from the blond while the brunette's plate was set at the head of the table between us.

  "Oh, thanks, Shori." She said with a smile as she took her seat. After saying thanks for the food, we all began to eat as a heavy silence settled in the room. "So...." The woman began. "Has Shori been managing the team well?" My grip tightened on my spoon as I shot her a glare. She didn't see it since her gaze was directed toward Kyōtani.

  "Yes." He replied after swallowing his food. His cheeks had been huge as if he had stuffed them like a squirrel, and some rice was stuck to his cheek. The blond then licked it off before glancing up at the brunette woman.

  "Good." She grinned. "What do you usually do on the team?"

  "Spike."

  "Cool." The woman nodded while turning back to her plate. "And does she stay out of trouble-save for what happened today?"

  "....Yes." He had to think about how to reply to her question. But, before the woman could ask anything else, the front door swung open and slammed shut. A few seconds later, a tall male with black hair and dark green eyes walked in. He went to the stove and served himself some food before yawning and plopping down into the empty seat at the table.

  "You're home early." My legal guardian smiled at the male dressed in a black school uniform that had the top few buttons undone- most likely because he was too lazy to button them up all of the way.

  "Mm." He hummed before grabbing the spoon and leaning forward to start eating. That was when he finally noticed Kyōtani. "Who the Hell are you?"

  "He's a friend from Shori's school." The brunette woman replied as the two males just sort of stared at each other.

  "Friend?" A mischievous smirk formed on his lips as he glanced between the two of us. "Shori doesn't have any friends." I clenched my jaw, and my spoon began to bend with my grip.

  "We're friends." Kyōtani spoke in his rough voice, catching the green-eyed male off guard. Yeah, the blond didn't just look threatening, he sounded it as well.
