Keep treating me like a royal and I'll have to stay forever! [He chuckles]
Hm?- I uh.....
[It looks like he gets really tense at that question.]
It's more complicated than you think. I mean pssh- I'm glad to have done it. It was her or me and I'd take me everyday of the week!
" ! ! ! "
[ Woah... The poor boy must've been starving... ]
" Haha... A-Anytime, Len-Kun, don't worry about it one bit! T-This'll be y-your place f-for a bit, s-so don't think t-too much of it. "
" S-So uh, why're you on the run from the cops, i-if it isn't too invasive... "
[Len basically ate everything before Nero even sat down to eat. He looks genuinely blissful.]
Aaahh- That was great, thanks a million times over Nero-Kun.
[ Nero doesn't mind too much, if anything, he's honored Len seems to be enjoying the food so much. He grabs his own plate and sits in front of Len. ]
" G-Glad you like it, Len-Kun... "
[ He begins eating some himself. ]
[Len stares at the meal like it's the best food he's ever seen. It becomes even more glaringly obvious he hasn't been able to take care of himself perfectly]
Wow... Thank you so much!!
[He immediately starts devouring that too]
[ The meal Nero made was simple, some vegetable fried rice and chilli chicken. ]
[ The meal was done surprisingly quick, and he placed the plate of rice and chicken in front of Len. ]
" H-Here you go, Len-Kun! S-Sorry if it's not much... "
[ The plate was full. Packed, even. ]
[ He winced a little seeing how Len landed. ]
" I-Is your... nevermind, y-you're welcome... I-I'll have supper finished i-in about a h-half an hour... y-you can watch the TV w-while you wait... O-Or you could use m-my G-Game console... "
[ He handed Len a Switch Lite. ]
Yeah please *don't* feel all that bad for me, I have it under control. Hell it's the happiest I've been in years!
[He takes the blankets and pillows and tosses them onto the couch and then jumps on the exact same way. Definitely not twisting his arm a little so that it hurts]
+
" T-The more i hear about you, t-the worse i feel... "
[ He went over to his closet, coming back with some pillows and a good blanket. ]
" I-If you're so sure, here, you can use these. I'll j-just make something quick for now. F-Feel free to make y-yourself at home, Len-Kun. "
[He chuckles out loud one more time and then sighs with satisfaction]
Pfft- I'm not a softie Nero-Kun I've been on couches plenty!
You've already been more than courteous enough to me.
[He looks up at this sky]
Can't even remember the last time someone was.
" Psh!! Yeah, right! "
[ He giggled. It's been a while since he's talked so casually with another guy before. ]
" A-Anyways, there's my apartment. "
[ For some unexplainable reason, he did not feel like it was right to have Len sleep in Neru's room. ]
+
Keheh- Yeah yeah just be glad I'm not cooking something else in there while you're not looking!
[He stands with his hands on his hips staring at Nero. Clearly joking around now as well]
" N-No no, I believe! "
[ He said, turning away. ]
" I-I just don't wanna test it... "
[ He muttered just loudly enough for Len to hear, clearly joking around. ]
[He gives his usual wide cocky smile]
Thanks Nero-Kun-
[He also just processed the "stove" comment]
Wait- Hey! The reason I haven't eaten isn't because I BURN things!
" Y-Yeah, Sure... Y-you can call me Nero... "
[ He smiled... ]
" A-And don't worry, I-I like cooking, s-so it's not a chore or anything... "
" A-Also, you haven't eaten in a while, So I-I don't really trust y-you near a stove in t-this state... No offense, Len-Kun... "
Oh I can cook for myself, you- you don't need to help me there...
[He starts chowing down on the food]
And sure, you can call me Len-Kun, quick friends, but hey! Since we're in that business... Could I do the same with you?
" G-Geez.... "
[ Two days??? That's crazy... ]
" I-I'll cook for you while y-you stay over... I-I kinda feel bad for you... "
[ He cracked open his soda. ]
" I-Is it okay if I call you Len-Kun? "
[Giggling a bit at his casual attempt]
Ya-hoo indeed heh-
[He then excitedly takes the food and drink]
FOOD TOO? Awesome dude! I haven't eaten in like two days!
" Y... Ya~Hoo! "
[ He pops out a moment later, trying to act casual and cool. He was too nervous to fully pull it off, though. ]
[ He handed Len a Soda and a warm pork bun. ]
" I-I always get these, s-so the owner handed me a free one... H-Here. It's yours. C'mon... "
" Right! I-I'll get us something small to eat too. "
[ He didn't really ask, more like he was telling Len. ]
" Did you get a cut on your cheek? "
[ Pointing to his own cheek, looking at Len's bandage. ]
