Narrator's PoV

Class was dismissed and, just like what Mideiro had stated earlier, the two teens were heading to Hoshiro's home. " You sorta requested to visit at a lucky time though, " stated Hoshiro in the midst of their conversation, confusing Mideiro. " What do you mean? " " My mom won't be home til 10, " the taller man replied, as the other slowly nodded. " If she was there, she'd be nagging you endlessly, and you wouldn't want that. " A chuckle came from the white headed boy and stated, " If it were parents, I won't mind them nagging me but if it's.. Brando, probably not. "

Hoshiro frowned immediately at the mention of Zawaru's surname, causing him to sigh with a silent " yare yare daze " under his breath. The two walked in silence, Hoshiro attempting sometimes to bring up a conversation or jokes that made Mideiro either chuckle or laugh, either way Hoshiro loved hearing his voice. A few more minutes and they had arrived at the Kujos' household, and Mideiro was not expecting this.

" Your home.. was a fucking mansion this entire time!? " exclaimed the smaller man while the other was unlocking the gates, opening them as he turned to Mideiro with a shrug. " Pretty much, I guess, " he replied and Mideiro was just flabbergasted, his mouth agape. He looked at the house; a Japanese styled mansion, adorned with cherry blossom trees at the front lawn with bonzai trees at the porch. He was suspicious at first on how much money Hoshiro must have had when he bought at least 140 tokens for them, but this answers everything.

This so-called delinquent, Hoshiro Kujo, was rich as fuck.

" Oi, Mideiro, are you coming in or what? " Hoshiro called from afar, snapping the male back to reality as he was staring at the mansion. He followed after Hoshiro quick who led the way in, Mideiro's mouth gaping wider as he looked in. It was huge! And clean too! " Y-you live! Here!? " Hoshiro nodded as Mideiro screeched in disbelief. He zoomed from here to there, admiring every little thing that fascinated him.

Hoshiro sat by a kotatsu, patting an unoccupied cushion when they met eyes and Mideiro gladly sat down at that spot. " So, what did you plan on doing here? " Hoshiro asked as Mideiro was pulling his bag to himself, pulling out notebooks and textbooks and looked at the other dead straight in the eye, " Homework. "

" Homework? "

" Homework. " Mideiro deadpanned once more and let Hoshiro remember now. Yup, they did have homework, and it was Math out of all subjects. All of those formulas confused him everytime, he'd sometimes ask for help from Mideiro back in class when he didn't understant but they weren't allowed to chatter so there's that. Sighing, Hoshiro pulled out his textbooks and notebooks as well, turning over to what page Mideiro was and started answering. But, of course, every damn minute and equation, Hoshiro always asked how to this and that. Honestly, for Mideiro, he found it annoying at first but he let that be and began to tutor him, with him mentally admitting that Hoshiro was like a big puppy.

The homework passed by an hour an a half, Mideiro was already finised but Hoshiro sure hell wasn't yet. " Then I do this.. then that.. " mumbled Hoshiro as he scribbled down the pages on his notebook. The smaller teen watched in awe, his cheek rested on the palm of his while facing the other with this warm, proud mom smile. ' So cute.. who knew this Greek God delinquent had the heart and soul of a big ol' pupper.. ' his thoughts wandered off and saw the other grin widely, throwing his hands in the air with a cheer. " I did it! " he faced Mideiro with such a soft expression that melted the guy's heart, making him grin too and laugh, " Great job, Shiro! "

Hoshiro then turned to him, and what seemed to be written on his face was shock. A second ago he was just so happy but why was he so surprised. Mideiro sent a confused look, a smile still on his face, " Is there something wrong? " Hoshiro blinked a couple of times before shaking his head and looking away with a chuckle. He scratched the back of his neck a bit awkwardly as he pointed out, " It's nothing.. Never thought you'd actually call me Shiro. " Mideiro's eyes widened in realization, his face turning red while he let out a chuckle. " S-sorry, that just came out of subconsciouness.. " " No, no, no, it's alright. I actually kinda appreciate it, calling me Shiro instead..  " the taller man warmly smiled at Mideiro's relatable embarrassment.

Silent came for a while with the two of them just smiling warmly and kindly, and maybe a bit awkwardly, to each other before Hoshiro pushed himself away from the kotatsu and stood up. He looked out, only to see it was already dark, the class dismissed later than usual today because of unknown reasons. " I'm going to go make dinner.. do you have any preferences? " Hoshiro questioned as he made his way to te kitchen, turning to Mideiro for his answer was a mere shake of his head with a statement of, " Surprise me. " And with that, Hoshiro left to do their dinner. He pulled out a cook book from one of the cabinets and decided to do something simple. First, omelettes and it was pretty simple. Second, those hotdog octopuses, or octodogs. And third, rice. Hoshiro stretched his arms, looking at the ingredients, " Alright, let's get to work.

...

Hoshiro soon came out of the kitchen with two steaming plates of food in his hands. Mideiro could smell them earlier when he started cooking, and his mouth was watering. Gently, the man set down the plates on the flat surface of the kotatsu and handed the other utensils to use. Mideiro just stared at the food then at Hoshiro then back at the food. Why does this smell and look delicious? Did he just make octodogs? He looked back at Hoshiro, who wasn't eating yet because of Mideiro, inhaling deeply before letting out, " You cook!? " Hoshiro only nodded, putting his palms over one another vertically before bowing slightly with a small, " itadakimasu " before he started eating. Mideiro was left dumbfounded for a moment before doing the exact same thing Hoshiro did.

He grabbed a spoonful of omelettes and rice, hesitantly taking them to his mouth. He silently chewed for a while, a shadow covering his face before those eyes sparkled brightly and he began to chow down the other's meal. Hoshiro watched his friend, surprised as he just swallowed his food. Soon, the white haired teen was finished, a sigh of pleasure coming from him while the other was just still eating. " Shiro, " started Mideiro and grabbed the called man's attention. " You're a pretty damn great cook, " That alone made the buff man blush, even by just a little. He tried to not lose composure as he said, " Thanks. " After a while, they were both finished and Hoshiro brought the plates to the sink. Mideiro had tagged in with going along in the kitchen, assisting the buff man who was cleaning the dishes while he did the drying.

" You know, Shiro, " Mideiro spoke up as he set aside the last dried plate to the side. He heard a hum of confusion from the other who was drinking his water. " You'd make a pretty good housewife. " Hoshiro spat out his water and turned to Mideiro with this furious yet also confused look while the other just started laughing uncontrollably. Okay, his complete laugh was weird, Hoshiro admitted as he really couldn't get mad, he had no idea whether that was a compliment or not. But it's cute as fuck, his mind finished as Mideiro's laughing died down. Hoshiro sent a light punch on the other's arm as he huffed, turning away before walking and leaving the other behind while red faced. Mideiro's laughing still continued softly and followed after Hoshiro while trying to not lose his shit again.
