“U-Um Nikolas? I wanted to apologize for how I acted earlier, no matter what was going on, I shouldn’t have just . . . gone and acted so much like a child, I’m sorry I made you upset.”

 

His eyes stared straight at the girl. To be honest, he wasn't even paying attention and was too busy fanboying over the cats, a happy smile on his face. Wow, I must have looked like Fuko in Clannad when she thinks about starfish! he thought jokingly, before being completely shocked by what he'd just thought. Had he really just related his life to a ghost girl with green hair? Yes, yes he had. And he was getting all the more worked about it, before it finally registered in his head what Evande had said. Acted like a child? Made me upset? Nikolas' face experience a wave of total confusion as he tilted his head, only slightly though.

 

"But," His voice sounded more childish than he wanted to. It was like he was confused, and curious like he had to find out no matter what. ", you're not the one who upset me. I upset me. Wait, no. That's not how you say it!" Nikolas face palmed, before settling down. A small sigh escaped his lips as he watched Panda mewl at Kiseki.

 

“I-If I remember anything about one of your lives or something, I’ll make sure I tell you right away since those memories are yours and not mine.” She shook her head and Nikolas shrugged absentmindedly. “A-Also . . . even though I was acting like an idiot earlier with that stupid act of mine, I do want you to know that when I said there was someone important sitting close by me. I meant that part of it, even if the rest of it was just a part of the whole ruse. You are significant to me.”

 

W-w-w-w-what?! He thought, feeling himself being thrown into a black hole of confusion. His face turned stark red, burning up almost immediately. "B-b-but you've only know me for two d-days!" he attempted, completely and utterly flustered. He walked over to the couch and hid his face in black blanket, only ending up sneezing quietly. Now that he thought about it, there had been some small catch in his throat since the morning; had he caught a cold? No, no, it was probably just something in the air or something. However, he'd also just noticed that he was in his pyjamas. Had he changed into those?

 

A horrifying thought came to the front of Nikolas' mind as he imagined Ryu changing him in the middle of the night. No way! Nikolas thought, but he hadn't gone to sleep in his pyjamas, and Ryu did used to do it all the time, in that lifetime. Plus, said moron was completely smashed too. All arrows point to that conclusion! Nikolas thought angrily, punching the couch with the blanket over his head. He pummelled the wood thing with his good hand so badly, his hand was slightly bruising and the couch had gained a small dent. "Idiot! You stupid idiot! I'm gonna kill you, Ryu!" he yelled in english, which was strange since they lived in japan, and they'd so far been speaking that language. But he seemed unfazed until he realised his hand was starting to hurt. Stretching out his fingers, there was definitely nothing broken.

 

Nikolas stood up, making sure he was actually wearing his pyjamas and the blanket slid off. Well, sort of. He was wearing a huge grey top that barely stayed on either on his shoulders, and his normal pyjama bottoms. Ryu wasn't even there; he'd left as soon as Evande told him where the key for Kiku's apartment was. The blonde sat down in a slight state of shock, before he felt the aggravation starting to build up. A small growl escaped his lips as he stood up, swaying a bit and he walked out the door. He found Ryu just about to reach for the key on their neighbour's doorframe, when he was knocked straight down to the floor with a kick. "How dare you?!" The blonde boy yelled, and even though Ryu tried to punch back, or thrown him off, his anger was obviously getting the better of him.

 

"What are you so worked up about anyways?" Ryu questioned, while getting his face punched. Nikolas was so angry he was punching with two hands, not even bothering to tend to the pain in his wrist. All Ryu got was a growl. "Is it cause I changed you? You were shivering in the night so-" A harder punch made contact with his face before Nikolas got off, crouching on the floor.

 

He was glaring at Ryu. "You know I hate it!" Nikolas said, an angry look in his eyes. Ryu really had no idea what he was talking about, and that was evident. "You know I hate when people see my s-" he stopped at the strangely concerned look on Ryu's face, and he stood up to his full height. "Stop acting as if you care! Actually, stop randomly changing me when I'm fast asleep!"

 

"Hey, I was so drunk I could barely think straight, and as I said, you were shivering like hell, so I changed you and put your other clothes on top!" Ryu protested. "It was really difficult, you know! It's like you were a doll or something!"

 

Nikolas was walking back in the door. "You should have just woken me up! Now go get Kiku, and be quick about it, since breakfast is served." The blonde had calmed down quite a bit, and was feeling more depressed than angry. But then he remembered that he had food, which was a joy! Since Ryu was so hungover, the food would either burn or taste horrible, and those traits come to Nikolas' food anyways. He, for no reason, giggled happily before putting his hands together. "Itadakimasu!" he cheered, a bright smile on his face. He took one of the pancakes and sort of stared at it blankly, not at all sure what to do. Laughing nervously, he looked at the pancakes. "Erm, what do I do. . . with the syrup? I-I mean, I've had pancakes before, but not with syrup. . . Ryu always just put sugar or cinnamon." In the shape of a love heart he thought miserably.
