Work Text:
It was a warm sunny day and Koga decided he wanted some KFC for lunch. So off he went, on a merry journey to the famous chicken restaurant. On the way, he encountered Rinne Amagi getting his shit absolutely rocked by an 11 year old girl. Koga simply chuckled, pulled out his phone and took a photo before continuing on.
Entering the KFC, the idol stopped in his tracks. There before him was a fellow idol- HiMERU, the blue haired member of Crazy;B. The pair locked eyes as Koga stared in shock and confusion. What was HiMERU doing here, in a KFC... behind the counter? Yes, the bee-themed idol was in a KFC uniform, taking people's orders, and he didn't look too happy about it either. The wolf boy strolled up the counter with a grin on his face.
"HiMERU! Fuck're you doing here, man?? Haha, idol work not cutting it?!" The smurfette (that's what I'm going with for HiMERU's hair, shut up) shut his eyes in exasperation and took a sharp inhale in before replying. "HiMERU was simply in need of extra funds. This establishment was hiring, so he applied." This resulted in another bark of laughter from Oogami. "HA! SERIOUSLY?? 'Extra funds' he says!" He started to lean on the counter, smirking to agitate the new worker.
"Off the counter, Oogami."
"Make me, idiot."
And make him HiMERU did. He swung round his right fist, absolutely socking Koga in the chin. He stumbled back, holding his face and shouting. "OI! What's the big idea?! Do you want me to bite you?!" The grey haired boy started to climb onto the counter in an attempt to get to the smurfette. The other workers at the KFC began to shout, while fellow customers tried to pull Oogami down. The whole restaurant was a clamour of shouts, crashes and the sound of the deep fat fryer bubbling.
HiMERU was on the customer side of the counter now, slowly taking off his watch and uniform hat. Which is never a good thing if the worker is still on the clock and there's a fight in the restaurant, because it means the worker's about to join in. After calmly handing his discarded belongings to Reniko, a coworker, HiMERU unleashed an ungodly yell- very out of character for him- and took an almighty swing for Koga once more. Koga, who was now being restrained by a gang of bystanders, was struck in the gut and could only muster up a wheeze.
Meanwhile, outside, Ra*bits was going for a walk together outside after practising for an upcoming show. They were making their way to a local cafè for some sweet treats as Hajime noticed the commotion in the nearby KFC. "Oh dear... is that Koga?" The little rabbit mused to himself as he stood outside the window. He was pulled from his thoughts as Mitsuru shouted for him from across the road, and he hurried away towards his group before taking a quick glance back towards the scene. He made a note to ask his peers about what happened later. As Hajime was turning around again, he failed to see a chair hurling at full speed across the restaurant.
The chair made contact with the wrong target- the injured man screamed and picked the missile up, hitting HiMERU across the back of the head with it. HiMERU let out an "Oof!" Before slamming his fist into the man's stomach, making him double over.
Meanwhile, Koga was occupied fighting off the angry workers trying to get him out of the premises. Using handfuls of condiments as projectiles, the walls and floors were slowly getting messier and messier as barbecue sauce, ketchup and mustard were sprayed across them. "AGH, CRAP!" he yelled as he was pulled from standing atop a table and landed on the ground, his pendant flying upwards and into his eye. He was getting sluggish now- fighting away so many people wasn't an easy task.
All of this happened within 10 minutes, and ended when an exhausted Koga managed to get to the bee-themed man who had started it all. He grabbed HiMERU by the shoulders, drew his head back and gave the smurfette an almighty headbutt. HiMERU didn't make a sound as his legs gave out from under him and he crumpled to the ground. Koga also lost his footing, falling to the floor as he shut his eyes.
He woke up to the overbearing smell of some sort of perfume. He sat up with a start, spluttering. "Ack! Agh! What the hell?? What's that smell?" He was met with the not too happy face of- oh, that's never good. "...Hi, Boss."
"Oogami." Rei shut the bottle of smelling salts he had in his hands. "Would you like to tell me why exactly you were carried out of a fried chicken restaurant by police? You're rather lucky it was Hakaze and not myself who was passing by. We wouldn't want that, now would we, you insolent puppy." Koga scowled at the leader of his unit disdainfully.
"Not my fault that dumbass HiMERU was there! I just wanted lunch!" With this Rei.. REIsed an eyebrow. (Sorry.) "Really now? And what did HiMERU do that made Widdle Koga so vewy upset, hmm?" Silence. Truth be told, Oogami couldn't think of anything. After all he hadn't thrown the first punch, HiMERU had. He started to absent-mindedly pick at his nails while he thought. Rei noticed and assumed he had nothing to say. "Well, if you've nothing to say, I'm sure Tatsumi will have plenty to say to you. He is your roommate after all, and if I recall, a very familiar person to HiMERU." Koga tensed up. Shit, Sakuma was right. Kazehaya WAS close to HiMERU, wasn't he... or the former one, at least.
Rei stood up to leave the room, stepping to one side as he opened the door to let someone in. A seemingly calm Tatsumi entered the dorm, bidding Sakuma goodbye. The door was shut, and... he simply sat next to Koga, making direct eye contact.
Nothing was said for about a minute before Kazehaya spoke. "Even when thy neighbour has done wrong, thou should continue to love them. This is what I have been taught. Amen~☆" He was met with a blank stare. Koga gave him a slanted and confused smile, or what he assumed to be one anyway. The pair managed to slide into more comfortable conversation about gardening after some time.
Night came and Koga was preparing himself for sleep. Kazehaya entered the dorm in his pyjamas, sipping on tea. More conversation was had as Koga busied himself around the dorm. When the two were settled, the lights were dimmed and Koga readied himself for sleep, until Tatsumi spoke again.
"Oogami."
"Yeah?"
Koga could make out Kazehaya's body sat up in the dark. His purple eyes were fixated directly on him.
"You must remember that I am willing to die if it means HiMERU will be happy." And with that, Tatsumi threw the covers over himself and closed his eyes.
Koga did not sleep soundly that night.
FIN~☆
