chapter twenty-seven;

━━━━━━ "HAVE FUN AT WORK LOVE", KISA CHEERED as inasa just gave the girl a curt nod before leaving and locking the door.

as kisa watched inasa leave, the girl immediately flopped onto the white couch in her hello kitty pjs, turning on the t.v. that was mounted onto the wall.

meanwhile kisa sighed as she fell onto her back, staring at the boring white ceiling as she contemplated what to do.

     'quirk-canceling bullets...dr. ujiko could certainly help. inasa's got the expenses for it too...though dabi's goal is a bit more unrelated to the three...perhaps he wants to kill endeavor? I never got to truly understand his ultimate beliefs. was it to truly cleanse out the world of fake heroes?'

     kisa closed her eyes momentarily as she planned to humor herself by making lunch for inasa and herself.

     thus, kisa hopped off of the couch, picking up inasa's ipad—which was just casually on the clear glass coffee table—and searched up a recipe on how to make pasta.

"hah? do I have to make my own pasta? maybe I could just buy it instead", kisa mumbled, skimming through the recipe.

     "but that means that I'd have to change and go outside..."

     sighing, kisa decided that she would just make the pasta herself since inasa had nearly every ingredient in existence.

     don't get the male wrong, inasa didn't cook in the slightest or at all for that matter. inasa would just invite chefs into his home and cook meals for him all the time, hence why he had leftover ingredients here and there.

"mm...flour and eggs..."

kisa made her way over to the pantry and refrigerator as she washed her hands prior, so that no germs got in their food.

"the hell? I have to knead this shit? mm..I'm using a stand mixer", kisa scoffed as she threw her somewhat sticky dough into the bowl, turning the mixer on four.

after a few minutes of waiting, kisa left it in the bowl with a moist towel hovering over it, meanwhile she started on the alfredo sauce.

"sauté the garlic and butter? mmm...I suppose", kisa said as she dropped a whole garlic and a stick of butter into the pan, letting it simmer.

     "then add heavy whip cream? will this really taste good? humans are so weird", kisa muttered as she dumped the entire container of whip cream into the pan.

     kisa then heard the the door handle jiggle. without another moment, inasa had walked in, raising a brow at what kisa was doing.

"oh, welcome back! I didn't even know I took that long", kisa greeted.

inasa shed off his flamboyant light purple coat onto the couch. taking the key out of the small pocket from his suit, inasa unlocked his diving helmet as kisa had told him that she preferred him with it off overall.

"I came back early actually", inasa replied.

"hm? why's that?", kisa asked, letting the alfredo sauce rest in the pan as she poked the growing dough, which still wasn't ready yet.

     "there wasn't much to discuss..."

     "oh, well I'm not done making the fettuccine alfredo for our lunch yet", kisa pouted, turning around and nearly making inasa chuckle.

the dark-haired male walked over to kisa, who had just given up and decided that it'd be best if they ate out.

inasa's large hand caressed kisa's cheek, wiping off the bit of flour off the girl's cute button nose.

kisa laughed, placing the palm of her hand against inasa's as she looked up at the male.

"should we just eat out today?", kisa asked, smiling as her brilliant yellow eyes gleamed with a persuasion effect.

"what are you feeling today?", inasa asked, slipping his hand out of kisa's grasp.

"you can decide. I'm going to go change", kisa waved as she headed upstairs, picking out a tight black dress that had long sheer sleeves.

     with a set of matching black heels—louboutins—that chisaki had bought the girl, which were specially imported from america, kisa re-brushed her hair as she braided it messily.

     "won't you be cold? it is winter", inasa stated, holding onto his usual coat with a tall collar.

     kisa smiled as she applied lipgloss, walking over to inasa while stretching her arms out, as if offering the male a hug.

     though inasa knew better. the dark-haired male sighed as he helped dress the girl in his light purple coat, with the brim of the collar laced with white fur.

"I see why you wear this all the time. it's very cozy", kisa lightly laughed, interlacing her hand with inasa's as they headed downstairs, where inasa had swiftly put on his helmet once more.

"leave it inasa. you're going to eat anyways", kisa strongly suggested, stopping the male's hand before he could lock it.

inasa looked kisa dead in the eyes, clearly not pleased.

"come on inasa. just this once", kisa urged as she cupped inasa's face, slowly taking the helmet off for him.

"fine", inasa grunted as they headed towards the car, which kisa had totally expected, by arriving in front of an expensive western restaurant.

"welcome miss and...mister. this way please", the waiter awkwardly gestured as he led the couple towards a small table by the huge windowpanes.

"my name is shina and I'll be your waiter today. now what may I get you two for drinks?", the white-haired male politely asked.

"we'll both have red wine", kisa smiled as the man just nodded and left.

"how'd you know I was going to order red wine?"

     "you like to eat medium rare steak complemented with red wine. I'm your wife, so of course I know", kisa answered, looking through the menu before putting it down.

     "but I never told yo—"

     "I told you love. I have my ways of knowing things", kisa smiled as she interlaced her fingers, laying her chin on the back of her fingers as her elbows propped up her head.

     "hm...alright then. anyways, what did you want to do for the remaining days?", inasa asked, taking a sip of red wine that the waiter had quickly brought out.

     "oh? I thought you said you had work every morning? the meetings were important for world domination", kisa teased, holding out her hand for inasa to take.

     the male stared at kisa's hand, begrudgingly placing his in hers.

     it was unbelievably soft.

     "I cancelled all the meetings and took a week off for myself", inasa replied.

     "and why's that?", kisa asked, tilting her head to the side.

     "you said you'd rather race with humans or go to a beach house..."

"and you actually considered that?", kisa questioned, smiling even wider now as she saw inasa glance out the window, purposely avoiding the girl's gaze as a fairly light pink dusted the human side of inasa's face.

kisa hummed, as if pondering what she should do.

"how about the last few days of my residence here we go up into the mountains?"

     the girl knew that inasa was quite pampered with all the money and obedient subordinates he's surrounded by. hence why kisa thought it'd be entertaining for inasa to experience some hardships, similar to that one time they were in the hunting forest together.

     "I thought you'd prefer a hotel or a flight to anywhere around the world", inasa frowned, to which kisa had lightly squeezed the male's hand.

     "I wanted to experience something new with you. I thought you'd appreciate that", kisa slightly pouted, guilt tripping inasa.

     as the waiter placed the two plates of medium rare steak in front of the couple, kisa started cutting her steak as she hummed from how wonderful it tasted.

     "I suppose...if that's what you want", inasa finally answered, to which kisa just flashed a victory smile.

"I promise you, you'll enjoy the break from the city".

"I did take the week off...", inasa muttered.

"for me right?", kisa smirked.

"mm...for you".
