Katsuki was leading the way and I trailed behind him. It was awfully dark in this tunnel, but thankfully, he exploded a scented candle he brought with him back from Yuga's penthouse. It smelled like pepperoni pizza. He held it in his one hand as a torch.

"Katsuki, what the heck is that smell?" I asked.

"It's this stupid candle."

"Why does it smell like pizza!?"

"It was either that or roses!"

"Well, why didn't you get the roses!?" I snapped.

"I hate roses."

I only facepalmed.

Suddenly, a giant rat scurried past us. I ran to Katsuki and jumped on his back, screaming.

"EW! A RAT!!" I panicked. "BLOW IT UP!!"

"Hey, look—Gran Torino's dinner."

I refused to touch the ground since that thing could have been carrying hobo germs.

"Babe, you can get down now. It's gone. I blew it up."

"But you took care of it so quickly!"

"Of course, I did. I'm King Explosion Murder!"

I looked down and saw a black hole charred into the concrete. Nothing of the rat was left.

"Thanks. . ." I quivered as I tiptoed back onto the floor.

After a few more minutes of walking, my feet started to ache. "Ughh, Katsuki! How much longerrr?"

"Babe, I don't where we're goin'. I'm just carryin' the pizza candle."

"What if we lose the others. . .?"

"I was plannin' on losin' the others anyway. They get on my nerves. This isn't so bad, actually," he smirked.

I took his hand and screamed inside. I had to admit, Katsuki was much saner now that he was away from the group. It was peaceful for a change—except for the pizza candle and exploding rat.

"Katsuki~"

"Yo."

"I think you look good in camo~" I complimented.

"Thanks."

"I'm trying to be romantic."

"Same."

"Seriously?"

He responded," I would never tell my hag mom 'thanks'. This is as romantic as I get."

I leaned close to him and said, "Well, maybe I could teach you~"

"Cool."

I scoffed, "Is the pizza candle getting to your brain? Because like, every time I talk to you—you lose more syllables."

"Sorry, behb. Got a lot on my mind right now. Tryna protect you and all. And maybe even feed you something better than rats."

"What about the MREs?" I reminded him.

"Uh, well, I might have dropped them when I swan-dived into the sewer."

"Didn't you zip up your backpack!?"

He fumed, "Either I lost 'em or Denki ate them in the middle of the night. I just don't know! But they weren't that good anyway."

"They're better than rats!!" I wailed.
