"Aki! Stop smoking in the house!"

Shinobu cried as he fanned his face with his hand, blowing away the smoke. He sent a glare to the older male.

Akihiko glared back at the blonde, but put out the cigarette on the ashtray in his living room anyway.

"Smoking is not very healthy, Akihiko-san."

Nowaki politely advised, concerned for his health.

Akihiko just shrugged in response.

"Wait, aren't you supposed to be finishing a novel right now?"

Shinobu asked.

Just as he said that, his editor Aikawa Eri, slammed open the front door and marched into the room.

"Sensei! Where is your manuscript!"

She yelled at him.

Nowaki and Shinobu looked at the crazy lady and sighed. This happened often when they came to visit Akihiko.

"Right there."

He pulled out the manuscript and threw it to her.

Aikawa rushed towards it and lunged at it to grab it.

"You finally finished it!"

She cried her eyes out for a bit before sitting down and looking over it. Nowaki came up to the redhead with a gentle smile.

"Would you like some tea, Aikawa-san?"

Nowaki politely offered.

She nodded. He went into the kitchen and started heating up the water.

"I hear you two were going to Mitsuhashi University for a mission. It's been awhile since you had a mission like this one."

Aikawa said.

"It has been awhile. We usually do missions that are quick and require little time."

Nowaki said.

"It sucks! I have to relearn everything in a classroom with lazy students. The teacher is probably just as bad."

Shinobu complained.

Nowaki sighed as he prepared the tea. He then handed the cups of tea to everyone.

"Thank you, Nowaki-kun!"

Aikawa graciously said as she took a sip of hers.

Shinobu and Akihiko just silently drank theirs and nodded in approval towards Nowaki. Nowaki beamed back and went to the kitchen to do the dirty dishes.

"Aki, why aren't you going undercover at the school?"

Shinobu asked.

"Obviously, I would stand out too much. Use that head of yours, brat."

Akihiko answered.

Shinobu glared at Akihiko and just pouted. Those two act like siblings more then coworkers.

"You are registered to the university right?"

Aikawa asked.

"Yeah. Isaka-san took care of that."

Shinobu replied.

"What last name did he go with for you two?"

"Usami."
