In the past three months of living with Kanzaki Aoi, today he thinks she's weirder than usual. In a way that made him try to whack his brain and make it function because he's slowly dying of anxiety and curiosity all the time.

It was a fine morning, no it was not a fine morning when he almost burned the whole apartment in trying to cook bacon, and he was more than glad that he could save the eggs, the only thing he could perfectly cook. But as expected pigtails went batshit crazy and continuously nag him to no end that his ears would start to bleed, saying that the egg he cooked still has shells in it, so he defended himself and told her that it would taste better with shells.

His kidney got jabbed after that. And he heard her mutter something under her breath that made his his brain short-circuit. Inosuke.exe has stopped working.

"You really are bad at cooking. You should just let me cook for the two of us forever."

Now what the actual fuck? Does she plan on freeloading for the rest of her life? He thought she was better than that.

The next time it happened he didn't think he'd be so shock once again. He'll count it on Aoi to be a constant shocker. He would really start to think she'll be a cause for mental breakdowns since he feels his heart beating erratically. He could almost see those shoujo manga sparks. He's having hallucinations isn't he?

It was already half past six when he woke up, his room dark as ever and once he pulled the covers out of him he shivered, feet cold on the floor. And he realized pigtails is still sleeping soundly, letting out puffs of air through plump lips, her chest rising and falling every intake of breath. 

He let out a devilish grin, thinking of all the pranks he could pull off while she let her guard down. He'd draw on her face, probably add a beard and some sprinkles of poop here and there, or he could spoon feed her a whole bottle of laxative, throw cold water to wake her up, even throw her laundry to the window, let her blood stained clothes and dirty undergarments roam throughout the city. He couldn't help but let out a snicker, oh he would do all of that and more.

But looking at her now, he couldn't also help but hesitate. She's getting less and less sleep, sometimes even spending the night in the hospital. He cried in agony how this is finally his chance of payback yet he couldn't bring himself to do it! Since when did he become merciful? Oh well, he could always kill her but she doesn't need that kind of mercy, she could just continue to be stressed for the rest of her life.

"Ah, fuck it." He cursed as he gently shook her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up. "Wake up pigtails, you'll be late for work again."

And it happened again. His brain stopped working with the words that rolled out her mouth.

"I know you'll always be there to wake me up anyway."

He just stood there. Finally accepting that trying to know what's running in Kanzaki Aoi's head is harder than any math problem.

He isn't completely sure but a part of him hoped and his other half dreaded. But really, he used every brain cell he had to come out with this conclusion. Tossing his own feelings aside. Obviously he didn't think about this with his emotions. Obviously.
