______________________________________________________________________________
Kame sighed as Jin set the kitchen on fire for what felt like the millionth time in the long process of trying to teach him how to cook while the rest made lunch. Koki sprayed the flame with the fire extinguisher while Ueda calmed him down from his hysterics. "Jin, the fire is gone now. Stop screaming." he demanded in that calm emotionless way of his.
"But it almost got my hair!" the younger boy whined. "I could've been bald, like Koki!"
"Hey! Being bald is a wonderful thing." Koki retorted, rubbing his fuzzy head loveingly. "What's wrong with being bald?"
Kame shushed him and turned back to the sink. "Nothing Koki. Can you continue with the ramen please?" He asked setting aside a pot that he had just washed. "If we want lunch to be ready anytime soon then you need to finish."
The rapper sighed and went back to stirring his pot of noodles. "How come Maru gets the easy job?" he grumbled darkly under his breath. "All he has to do is squish rice together."
"And all you have to do is stir a pot of noodles." Ueda shot back. "Now shut up and stir before I kick you out of my kitchen. If you didn't want to help you should have gone with Junno to the store for the sake."
Jin watched them bicker for a moment before padding quietly over to where Maru was making the rice balls. The plate beside him was brimming with the sticky white balls but still he kept making them with a hum and a smile on his face. The oldest boy was content and it showed in the way his skillful hands slowly packed the rice without a single grain out of place. They were perfect.
Just like he was. At least, thats what Jin thought to himself. It was hard to find a flaw in his friend, if someone even bothered to try. Maru was well liked and few people had anything bad to say about him. Maybe that was the thing liked most about his friend. Maybe, maybe it was the small fact that even though he was loved and had many friends he never let it go to his head.
"Maru?"
"Hm?" the beatboxer paused while he talked giving Jin his full attention. "What is it Jin?"
'I think I'm falling in love with you'
He wanted to say but instead asked, "Can I help? Ueda is starting to get a little scary about his kitchen."
The older boy laughed and scooped up the last bit of rice squishing it into a tiny round triangle. "Sorry Jin, but I'm finished now. You should have asked earlier if you wanted to help that badly."
Jin was dissappointed but he smiled anyway. "Would you really have let me help? Even though I've set at least three fires since we started an hour ago?"
Maru rolled his eyes and smiled. "I wouldn't have let you play with the stove. See? Problem solved."
The younger opened his mouth to argue but stopped when the tiny riceball was presented to him. "Here," Maru said, "as a thank you present for at least thinking about helping me. You're the only one who did."
He took it with a small smile. "Thank you Maru! Are you sure you don't want it? You did make it."
Maru winked and dried his hands off on a nearby towel. "Nah, think of it as an 'I like you too' thing. You're not as subtle as you think you are Jin." He laughed and blew a kiss before running out to help Junno with the bags he had brought in.
Jin watched him go with a tiny pout crossing his lips. He had thought he was subtle! Did that mean he would have to work on his acting skills? Looking down at the riceball he was still holding the pout turned into a smile.
He popped the sticky white heart in his mouth and rushed out to join the others. Maybe he wasn't completely hopeless after all.
______________________________________________________________________________
OMAKE!
"You know Maru, these riceballs are pretty good!" Koki said before popping another one in his mouth.
Maru rolled his eyes and chewed on his own. "Thanks Koki. I only make them for my lunch everyday. You should know how good they are since you steal them all the time."
Kame caught his eye and the two had to laugh behind their hands. "Hey Koki, I think he made this one especially for you." the youngest said and handed him a slightly rounder riceball.
"Ah Maru, you do care old man!" and without even a 'thank you' it was snatched from his hand.
Jin reached for Maru's hand under the table and silently counted down in his head. 3....2....1....
The riceball that was in his mouth exploded in a rush a fire and Koki was sent scrambling to the kitchen for water before his tongue wilted and died in his mouth with a series of yells and crashes as he ran into various pieces of furniture. The remaining five burst out laughing and clutched at their stomachs as they howled. "That was brilliant Maru!" Ueda said before collapsing from lack of air. Junno tried to hold him up but he was fighting his own laugher and soon the two were leaning against each other, breathless but still trying to laugh.
"The wasabi was perfect wasn't it?" Maru asked smugly. His hand tightened around Jin's and the two smiled at each other. Kame watched them with his own smile and sighed happily.
It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.
"Nakamaru Yuichi, I am going to murder you!" Koki howled as he ran out of the kitchen wielding a metal mixing spoon. Maru shrieked and scrambled away down the rich hallway with Jin following, yelling his own threats about really making the rapper bald if he so much as touched one hair on Maru's head.
A perfect ending indeed.
