Piko frowned when Levi found an excuse not to get in bed with him, but his stomach had to agree with the fire sprite. He redressed himself, which took all of four seconds (perks of being a Naga), and followed to offer some help.<br/><br/>Levi seemed to have a good idea of what he wanted to do, so Seimezi let him take center stage. Still, though, he was used to cooking, so he sort of fell into place at the back: chopping vegetables, washing used dishes, peeling potatoes. He might have been jipped earlier (and then teased, he supposed), but it was nice to be in the heat of a kitchen. He could last by the open flames like this for a while.<br/><br/>---------------------<br/><br/>Kosuke's heart plummeted.<span style="font-style: italic">Already</span>he'd messed up! It was so easy to get caught; just a pat on the head or back and it was over. What was he supposed to do? Just avoid everyone else like they were diseased... or like he was? Well, it was too late for that now. She had him, and her flustered response was enough to prove that his potential life here was over before it started.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"You know what? I don't care."</span>What?<span style="font-weight: bold">"There. I said it. I really need to quit being afraid of what others will do to me. it isn't healthy. And besides, even if you are a demon, it's not like you would send me to hell for knowing that. My Dad's best friend was a demon anyway, and he turned out FINE!"</span><br/><br/>D...Did he break her? "Um.. A.. Are you..?" he stuttered, not sure if she was still all there, or if he'd killed her sanity.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">She sighed. "My personal problems aside, we should probably... Do you smell that?" She took a big whiff and almost started drooling. "I bet that whoever is out there cooking could make your first day sooooooo much better!"</span><br/><br/>He did smell it, and it was fantastic. While he probably needed a distraction from the current situation (for the sake of his own sanity), he didn't feel safe leaving the room now that his origins had been revealed. But his witness wasn't about to let him stay there sulking.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">She grabbed Kosuke's hand. As she pulled him along, she said, "Don't worry, what happens in that bedroom, stays in that bedroom."</span><br/><br/>"D.. Do you mean that?!" he asked, suddenly hopeful. "You really won't tell?" The tears were back again. He wiped them with his sleeve.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"By the way, I never caught your name?"</span><br/><br/>His eyes were too clouded to be sure, but he felt like she was smiling at him. "It's Kosuke," he said. "And you're Samantha?" it was either that or Eliot, according to the board.
