Y/N POV

It's the weekend, score! This means I get to avoid a certain someone for two whole days! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's really fun to annoy him, but I desperately need a break sometimes. Today Mikoto is coming over for a few hours just to hang out, knowing her she's probably gonna make me do some psychic stuff with her. At first I thought she was just lying about being a psychic, but after a very useful reading on the whereabouts of my favorite shirt I accepted that she's got a gift.

Oh, right on cue, Mikoto's here. I open the door and it feels as though I was struck by lightning and had a comedic piano dropped on my skull; Kusuo is standing next to her.

"Hi Miko! I see you brought something..!"

Mikoto waves at me, worry tracing her face as she processes my reaction to the entity behind her, "Hey giirrll......! I sure did!" She pauses, returning to her usual self before continuing, "I'm pretty sure he's my soulmate, so I've gotta get you two on speaking terms..?"

"That sounded a lot like a question, did he force you into this? Blink twice if yes."

"Can you just let us in? And what makes you think I'd go out of my way to be around a girl I have no interest in, force her to pretend we are soulmates, and then have her bring me to your house on one of my two days away from you?"

"You're tricksy, I never can trust you."

"If I wanted to kill you I would have by now."

"Damn that's better than me, I have homicidal thoughts about you 24/7"

"Get medicated." He says, pushing past me

"I never said you were invited in, only Miko."

"Sucks to suck, I didn't get dragged over here dor nothing."

I shoot Mikoto an exasperated glance before reluctantly letting her in and shutting the door. Unsurprisingly, Kusuo is already rummaging through my damn cupboards like the food-slut he is.

"Hey, fuckass, maintain some manners why don't you?"

"Shut up and die."

"I'm telling the police you broke in"

"Tell me where your sweets are first."

"As if I'd share with you? No, go sit on the couch or some shit."

"Who said it'd be sharing?"

"If you're taking my food you're gonna share with the class."

With that he sighs, resigning to my couch. God, that boy knows how to make himself comfortable in someone else's house doesn't he?

"He can go home whenever he wants, Miko what do you wanna do?" I say, turning to the only person in the room I actually want to communicate with right now.

She looks at me with the most youthful and excited eyes I think I've ever seen, and thanks to me speaking fluent Mikoto I know this means she wants to do something I've definitely said no to in the past. I, being my lovely self, know what this is about.

"Miko no. I've already told you I don't want romance readings." I say, sighing.

"JUST ONNEEE?? Just to see what your soulmate is likkeeee?? Please please please it'll be the last time I ask I promise PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh my god you're worse than Kusuo sometimes, fine." I say, shooting a glare at the Kusuo in question so that he doesn't comment on my insult.

Mikoto grabs my hand and starts, like, throwing flour and shit at it, which I am not enjoying. She's lucky I know she's the real deal or I would be seriously peeved right now.

"Okay... hold onnn..." She mutters, squinting down at my palm.

Suddenly she smirks and looks up at me, "Got it. Y/N, your mister right is someone ultra-powerful! He's also apparently someone you'd never expect, so keep an eye out!"

"I don't talk to powerful people! Except Metori maybe, but at this point he should be considered my brother so he can't count. The only other powerful person I know is Kusuke but he's a bit too old for me..." I ramble to no on in particular, mostly trying to sort my thoughts.

"Not my problem. I didn't do a reading to see their initials like I did for me and Ku-ku because I figured you wouldn't like that."

"Don't call me that and we aren't soulmates." Kusuo says, suddenly behind me.

"Kusuo shut up no one asked you." I huff whilst making the necessary movements to be as far away from him as socially acceptable.

"Good grief, I almost forgot how insufferable you are."

"Oh ha-ha you've never said that one before, get new material fuckass."

"You too, asshole, you've already called me that today."

"Not my fault it describes you perfectly." I mumble under my breath, hoping he won't hear it.

"Care to share with the class, Y/N?"

"God damn you and your rats-ass face.."

"You have no room to comment on my appearance, at least I tried to be presentable."

I look him up and down, "Aww look at you, dressing up all fancy just for me."

"Don't twist the story." He frowns, furrowing his eyebrows in disgust

"Yeah yeah whatever man, when's Kuu coming back I miss him."

"I will never understand how you actually enjoy his presence, and hopefully never."

"Oh woe is you, Kuu's a total gentleman, unlike someone in the room."

"Did he slip something into your drink?? When has he ever been a gentleman towards anyone."

"You don't want to get me started."

"You're right, I don't."

Thank god for my angel darling love Mikoto, who grabs Kusuo by the arm and cuts our argument short.

"Ahem," She pretends to clear her throat before continuing "as nice as it is to hear Ku-ku say more than three words at a time, I can't bear to hear your bickering any longer. Byebye Y/N girl!!!"

"BYE MIKOOOOO! LOVE YOU GIRL DON'T LET KUSUO INFECT YOU!" I yell out as she shuts my front door with a final wave.

Thank god, I was tired of the roach's presence. Now I can go take a five hour nap to remedy the time of mine that he wasted.
