Running away from an underdeveloped 18 year old with an overdeveloped libido had proven quite taxing. Specially while getting a redhead girl with a taste for brawling to follow him instead of applying the way of the jungle to the cheerful molester. Right now, through sheer force of urgency to get away from trouble he found himself standing before the closed doors of the cafeteria. During daytime it was simply a place to eat surprisingly edible food. Right now it looked dark and somewhat secretive, its normal liveliness gone.

Perfect hiding spot.

He didn't need much work to open the doors, who would try to enter a deserted cafeteria at night? He led Hotaru inside and closed the door behind him. It was an open, large room with several tables, chairs and a food bar at the very end of it, the kitchen behind it. He sighed and ran a hand through his messy hair.

"So much for dancing."

He took off his jacket, loosened and discarded his tie. Finally a place where no one would bother him about it. He undid the button at the neck of his shirt and breathed in relief. Looking back at Hotaru, he had to admit the girl had turned out to be much more attractive than he gave her credit for. Illuminated only by the moonlight, had she been any other girl, he would've been absolutely flustered about being in a lonely dark room with her.

But this was Hotaru. She wasn't like any other girl.

Without giving an explanation, he walked towards the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinets, putting a pan and a small pot on the fire he had just turned on. He wasn't even acknowledging the fact this could very well get them into trouble for tresspassing. To be honest, he didn't even register he was doing anything wrong.

"Now's a good time as any to grab a bite. And I still owe you dinner."

He tossed a can of tomato sauce towards her.

"And you're helping."

Hotaru wasn't exactly surprised that Jhon had chosen the cafeteria to hide in. No one else was here, it was dark, and no one would really expect them to be here. Granted, they could get in trouble for trespassing, but they had gotten in trouble for worse things before.

She got a bit distracted when Jhon started ditching some of his clothing. She had to admit, the somewhat formal look did suit Jhon quite well. But...he looked more like himself like this. She looked a bit surprised as the dark-haired boy walked to the kitchen and started gathering things together before looking at her. He was...going to cook?

"I hope you're a good cook then. Just try not to poison me. My boss will murder me, and then my dad might try to kill you."

She caught the can of tomato sauce, putting two and two together.

Spaghetti? Well, she hadn't had Italian food in a while. Hopefully he didn't poison them both.

"I'll help, but I'm gonna need an apron. I'm not getting anything on this dress, my mom will kill me."

She managed to snag an apron off a nearby counter and tied it on, ready to get to work as she quickly tied back her hair in a low ponytail with a hairtie that had been around her wrist.

Although she would not notice it unless it was pointed out to her, the length of the apron and how it was tied made it appear as though all that Hotaru was wearing was the apron and her heels.

"I'll have you know, I cook like an ange- IS THAT A HADAKA APRON?!"

He almost fell back and stumbled with some pots when he turned and saw Hotaru approaching in nothing but an apron and with a goddamn ponytail to make matters worse.



MEANWHILE IN THE HALL OF JUSTICE

King Jhon: Gentlemen we have a situation.

Anon Jhon: I say we hit it.

Shota Jhon: MY HEART IS NOT READY! MY BODY IS NOT READY.

King Jhon: Well technically speaking it has been ready for a while now-

Bouncers: WHO THE FUCK LET DESCARTES IN?!

Anon Jhon: I say we hit it.

Shota Jhon: That's your response for everything!

Anon Jhon: I learn from doujins.



He swallowed and struggled to keep his eyes on her face at all times. First some barely legal, VERY illegal looking senior had all but undressed him and now Hotaru was wearing an apron and heels with seemingly nothing behind it. Not that he wasn't flattered but things were moving a bit too fast. Besides, this was Hotaru. Hotaru. She was the closest thing he had to a sis-

Anon Jhon: Wincest is love.

NOPE.

She had to admit, Hotaru was NOT expecting Jhon to react like this. He DID know she was still wearing her dress, right?

She sighed slightly, rolling her eyes.

"Seriously, Casanova? You KNOW I'm wearing a dress under this. See?"

At the end of her statement, she lifted up the bottom of the apron, revealing the black dress on underneath.

"Really, Casanova...Such a pervert..."

Lowering the apron once more, she chuckled slightly as she walked past him to make sure they had what they needed.

"By the way- if we get in trouble, I'm laying all the blame at your feet, Casanova. You DID drag me here. Also- why didn't you let me hit that Claire girl? She groped us both, insinuated I wasn't straight, and tried to get us BOTH to sleep with her. I swear, that kind of thing only happens in manga or doujin..."

His face went from panic to something like a bad poker face.

"I-I knew that. I was just checking if you paid attention. You passed. Congrats."

He cleared his throat and turned his back to her, opening the fridge to take out some tomatoes and started slicing them dilligently. His sleeves were pulled up, and he didnn't actually look bad in an apron. He lit the fire and put a pot of water to heat. He also took out a pan and sprinkled it with a small bottle of olive oil and powder garlic before putting it on low fire and dumping the thin slices on it, mixing carefully.

"Hey, nothing wrong with being a pervert. Theoretical knowledge can't harm anyone. Creativity is also a plus. Besides you're the one to talk. How did you even stumble upon the term Doujin, I wonder? Or how did you instantly know what I was referring to?"

The pan sizzled as the aromatic scent of food filled the air. He kept scrambling the tomatoes with a spatula with a smile on his face.

"I didn't want you and Miss Menage A Trois to get into a fight in the middle of the gym. Would've ruined the party and your dress. Besides that guy kept showing up and believe me when I say getting partyvanned ain't fun. Plus, running off with you seemed like the best option. If only you stopped calling me Casanova, I'd even say I like being with you by sheer value of conversation. Not every day you meet someone who can rock a dress like that with heels and also manages to pick fights every now and then."

Hotaru gave Jhon a rather blank stare, shaking her head slightly. This guy...he was a total nut sometimes.

"Uh-huh...SURE...And I'm a member of the Avengers."

One could practically taste the amount of sarcasm in that sentence as she observed Jhon cook. She had to admit, he didn't look bad in an apron. And it seemed like he knew what he was doing, so hopefully she wouldn't die of food poisoning.

"I'm Japanese. I know this stuff as well as I know my own family."

She chuckled slightly at the nickname he had given Claire. Miss Menage A Trois, she'd have to remember that one. Wait...he liked being with her?

"Sorry Casanova, but the nickname stays until I come up with a new one. And that could take a while. Don't get used to seeing me in a dress, because this will probably be the last time you ever see me in one. This thing's practically a second skin, and that's just a LITTLE uncomfortable. But, I digress. So, what do you want me to help with, Casanova?"

Jhon eyed her over his shoulder and smirked.

"Lose the ponytail, get in black thighs and I might call you Black Widow."

His glance lowered.

"You're halfway there, congrats."

He chuckled at his own uncharacteristically cheeky comment and put the seasoned tomatoes in a small plate. He checked the water to see if it was boiling and turned to Hotaru. It was a shame she seemed against wearing dresses. She had the natural gift of being able to make the dress look good, unlike most women. He had to wonder if she was even aware of it. Rather, if she outright cared about the fact she could be very beautiful when she wanted to.

"Come here. I need help with the pasta."

He signaled her to get closer and opened a small cabinet under a stack of pots where assorted foods were waiting in tuppers ready to be cooked. He set his sights in a particular box. Well wasn't this a lucky find, ravioli! He took out the box and shook it to check if it was still full. He opened it and saw just aboutenough for the two of them.

"Come here, I'll teach you my real mom's recipe."

He smiled and poured the pasta into the boiling water. He took a couple seconds to realize what he had just said. The sound of boiling water and scent of tomato made the atmosphere somewhat oppressive now.

"..."

Hotaru chuckled.

"Was that a cheeky comment, Casanova? I might have underestimated you."

She walked over to him, smiling slightly. She was used to helping her mom cook at home, so she knew enough so she wouldn't end up sabotaging the dish. Besides, why sabotage her own food?

She eyed the box in his hand, making sure her ponytail was out of the way. Ravioli, huh? Sounded good to her. Before she could say anything, Jhon said he would teach her his real mom's recipe.

It took a moment for his words to sink in.

His...real mom?

Glancing at him from the corner of her eye, Hotaru thought carefully for a few moments. This was OBVIOUSLY a sensitive topic for him. Should she pry...?

No. That would be rude. Besides, it wasn't any of her business unless Jhon brought it up again, or said he wanted to talk to her about it. She wasn't going to be like some of the brats in the school who demanded every single detail about a person as they're JUST getting to know them.

"Look...I'm not going to pretend you didn't say that. And it's obviously something that's important to you, and that it hurt you. I'm not going to ask what happened unless you WANT me to know. I...I do care about you, Casanova. You're my friend, and I want to help you out when you need me."

She chuckled slightly, looking up at the ceiling for a moment before returning her gaze to Jhon.

"Who would've thought I'd end up making friends with a guy who almost got suspended for something I did, and who I also punched in the jaw? Then again, you got payback when you pulled my gi open. Gah, getting off topic. Look, point is- If you wanna talk, I'm willing to listen. If you don't wanna talk about it, than we can go back to cooking. If talking about it makes you uncomfortable, I can share a little something about me if it helps. It's all up to you...Jhon."

Jhon had to stop stirring the pasta for a second when he heard her. So, at least she wasn't going to pry. Well, nothing remarkable. Most people with half a brain know when to stop treading into someone's life. He cursed silently for letting his guard down stupidly, stupidly and foolishly thinking that just because he enjoyed someone's company it could mean he was safe, that he could talk about anything.

That he could just expose his flaws.

And that people would simply welcome him with open arms.

"Who would've thought I'd end up making friends with a guy who almost got suspended for something I did, and who I also punched in the jaw? Then again, you got payback when you pulled my gi open. Gah, getting off topic. Look, point is- If you wanna talk, I'm willing to listen. If you don't wanna talk about it, than we can go back to cooking.

What?

Is she stupid?

Is she- How can she even say that? Does she think she knows me in the LEAST? Why the hell would I need to talk to you, you think I can't handle my own life? What do I care about YOUR life? Who do you think you are to ta-


"It's all up to you...Jhon."

He noticed he had been gritting his teeth. Slowly, his jaw muscles relaxed. The sound of boiling water was the only thing that could be heard for nearly a minute.

"...Well, these aren't gonna cook themselves. Get over here, will you?"

He turned around, crossed his arms and looked at her.

"You're not gonna ask, I won't ask. It's how it works. You don't have enough badges to train me anyway. Now open the can of sauce and tell me if it needs more spice."

He turned around, stirring the pasta again. A hidden smile on his face.

"Hotaru."

Hotaru was quiet as she observed him. His entire body screamed defensive, and she could just barely see the tell-tale tightening of his jaw that showed he wad gritting his teeth. This was definitely a sore topic for him...she'd remember not to bring it up in the future.

When he spoke, she nodded slightly. They could talk whenever he was ready to. She wouldn't force it out of him. She chuckled slightly at the badges line before grabbing a can opener and opening the jar of tomato sauce as he had asked, using her finger for a quick taste. Hm...

"It's decent, but it could use more of a kick. You want to taste it for yourself and make sure I'm right?"

It wasn't until after she answered him that she realized he had called Hotaru by her name, instead of just calling her Hoshakuji. She smiled slightly, a small blush staining her face.

"So you finally decided to use my name, huh Casanova?"

She chuckled slightly, shaking her head which caused her ponytail to sway with the movement.

Weird...why am I happy he said my name? It's just a name...not like he called me some dorky nickname. So...why do I feel happier than earlier?

"Earth to Hotaru. Sauce is fine."

When she snapped out of her thoughts, if she did so, she would find that the boy was standing close by her side, licking some of the remains of the tomato sauce from his finger. Nothing suggestive about it, but the mere act itself could be considered slightly innapropiate to do in front of a girl. But again, the boy seemed blissfully oblivious of the fact he was licking his finger standing right at Hotaru's side.

"We can add some spices later on if you want, the pasta is almost done. Wait, don't move."

A simple motion. His hand cupped her cheek gently, passing the warmth, grazing against her skin. His thumb laid against the middle of her lips, almost testing their suppleness...and then swiped to the side, taking a bit of sauce away from the corner of her mouth. He then licked it off his thumb and turned around nonchalantly to continue stirring the ravioli, not even slightly conscious of the implications of his act. It was so utterly obvious he had no second intentions that it wasn't clear wether to be offended or heartwarmed by his obliviousness.

"Couldn't find the napkins, besides I never liked wasting food. Grab the tomatoes I cut and seasoned, mix them with the sauce."

Before Hotaru could scolded him for somewhat startling her- she really needed to stop getting distracted- when the next thing she knew, he was touching her face.

Not just her face.

Her lips.

Hotaru's face turned the same shade of red as her hair, and she immediately looked away from Jhon.

"Y-You can't just do something like that to a girl, you know?"

...Oh god. That was a slight stammer. This was bad, this was bad, this was OH SO VERY BAD. C'mon girl, focus! Don't fall for that kind of thing!

Forget how warm his hand felt, forget how soft his touch was, forget the fact that his thumb had touched her lips, forget that he had swiped the sauce off the corner of her mouth and then licked his finger!

...

She was doing the exact opposite of forgetting.

Her face still bright crimson, she moved to do as he had asked, grabbing the tomatoes he had prepared and mixing them with the sauce.

Almost absentmindedly, her free hand rose up, lightly pressing her index finger to the spot the dark-haired boy's thumb had been. At that moment, she looked rather...demure? Feminine? Dare I say SHY?

Better question was...would Jhon notice?

"Huh?"

He turned off the fire and started picking out the floating ravioli with a fork, putting them on two plates, whistling The Girl From Ipanema while he did so.

"Oh come on, it's not like I did it to bother you. Besides it's ok. Friends can be close like that sometimes. I hope the sauce is ready because these are done."

He walked towards the nearest table and put the hot plates on it. The way he carried the plates and moved back to the kitchen to get cutlery and napkins made him look like an exotic butler. He was smiling, the familiar atmosphere doing wonders for his mood. He suddenly glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"Yikes, not to be uncorteous but we should get started right away if we wanna make it to the fireworks. I hope you like it."

And there he waited, standing like an old fashioned gentleman. It looked a bit goofy but it was also a change.

...T-This guy...

Was he really this dense, or was he one of those virgin-hearted guys she only read about in some ridiculously over-the-top manga?

She sighed slightly, the blush that once marked her face dying down. She chuckled, observing him as he walked around putting everything together. Jhon...was a strange guy. But, being strange was a good thing.

"Well, here's hoping you decided not to add in any rat poison when I wasn't looking."

She removed the apron and set it to the side, removing the hairtie from her hair and running a quick hand through it. Much better! She walked past him to where he had set up the food, the 'click' of her heels somewhat echoing in the quiet room. But, even with the heels, Jhon was still taller, which made her pout a bit.

Shaking her head, she smiled at him softly.

"I wasn't really much of a help, so you get credit for the meal. I'll do the dishes, and I'm not taking no for an answer. Now, let's eat. If we miss the fireworks, I'm gonna be pissed."

He held her chair out so she could sit, then walked towards his and sat down with an exasperated sigh as he grabbed a fork and absentmindedly pinched a ravioli, dipping it on the sauce. It was definitely not the way to eat pasta but he didn't care.

"Look, if you're just gonna keep thinking I wanna kill you buy a bulletproof vest. Poison is for pansies. Expect an Apache helicopter from me."

Looking at the food on his fork, he started eating and looked toward the window. The moonlight and distant glow of the night decorations looked quite nicely from the large glass panels of the cafeteria. It was a shame they didn't allow people here for such an occasion. He suddenly opened his mouth and starting flapping his hand at his tongue. Though he couldn't speak, it was clear that he didn't check if the food was too hot before taking a bite. It took him five seconds to regain the ability of forming coherent words.

"Ah man. I'm not used to eating with people. Sorry about that I guess. Is the food ok or are you gonna have a seizure on me?"
