“Took you long enough”
Arisu shut his eyes, pressing his lips, turning around to give his best passive face to the owner of that annoying voice, the one that always approaches him with that annoying phrase. Chishiya. Annoying dick always slinkers in from some dark corner he's been hiding in to say ‘oh it took you so long’ after Arisu has gone through all that trouble to come up with an answer. Arisu crossed his arms over his chest, looking across the destroyed checkerboard at the white haired boy who had his usual small smirk plastered on his face. Oh how he wanted to punch that smirk off!
Arisu watched as Chishiya crossed the floor swiftly, grabbing the diamond card HE(Arisu) had worked so hard to obtain. He “tsked” looking down at the disposable phone screen which read, “Game Clear”. They had gained a 2 day visa.
“And where were you hiding while I was playing for both our lives? ” Arisu asked, trying to sound as venomous as he could but it only came out as pouty. He hated it.
“The game didn't require two players. I thought I'd let you figure it out on your own” came the smooth reply as Chishiya crossed him again, this time headed for the buildings' exit.
“It required two people's combined wits though” Arisu called after him.
“You had it under control then, didn't you” came Chishiya's fading voice.
Arisu frowned. A compliment? Then he frowned deeper. A backhanded compliment. He could almost hear the smirk on Chishiya's face. Oh how he wanted to slap that smirk off!
“You guys are here! Oh Arisu you look awful” Usagi offered in the way of greeting as she rushed over with a makeshift first aid box in her hands.
“Gee thanks, Usagi” Arisu said, sitting down on the nearest surface as the girl hurriedly but neatly cleaned and covered his wounds.
“You don't even have dust on you” Kuina observed as Chishiya sat down next to her on the couch, grabbing some food.
Chishiya nodded, “It was a diamond game, the only scratch you get is death. Unless you're stupid”
Arisu looked up at him, his eyebrows knit together “You could have just played on your own! Saved us all that time” he threw the nearest object at Chishiya, which happened to be the bandage Usagi was about to use on the gnash in his arm. Chishiya caught it. He got up, walked over slowly and nodded to Usagi, who nodded back and left. Chishiya knelt down on one knee so he was at eye level with Arisu, his smirk back in place but softer this time. He reached for Arisu's hand, who immediately tried to snatch it away but Chishiya caught it nonetheless. He unwrapped the bandage and started wrapping it around Arisu's cleaned wound, slowly and delicately, his face focused. Arisu scoffed. When Chishiya was done, he bent forward slightly, whispering into Arisu's ear, “If I don't let you try it alone at least once, how are you supposed to learn, Ryouhei? ”
When Chishiya pulled back, his smirk was on full force. He stood up and walked away, disappearing down the hall like he always did leaving Arisu red-faced with his breathstill hitched. Damn that smirk. Oh how he wanted to kiss that smirk off!
