[When M/N got sick]
" M/N, you have to eat... "
Eiko watched as M/N resisted and hid his face into Mido's collar as both Mido and Megamo tried to persuade M/N to eat but M/N only stubbornly shook his head in refusal.
Fun Fact #1 : A sick M/N was an emotional M/N.
Somehow, after babying M/N for a few minutes, M/N eventually relented...as long as they feed him. Mido carefully held onto M/N so he wouldn't fall as M/N obediently opened his mouth for Megamo to feed him.
The heir of Saikou Corp obviously never had to feed anyone before as he struggled so much that the caretaker tried taking the spoon from him. Mido actually was really satisfied with how the Saikou kid fed M/N. It was messy so Mido would have to wipe away the excess from M/N face and M/N sometimes lick Mido's fingers for the leftovers.
Eiko deadpanned as Mido played with M/N while the caretaker was teaching Megamo how to hold the spoon. No matter how clumsy and rigid Megamo's actions were, Megamo was always careful and made sure M/N doesn't accidentally choke on the spoon or something.
Still, it was funny to see the Student Council president shakily hold the spoon.
.

Luckily, they didn't have school the next day so she could freely stay and watch the drama unfold without worry.
The Student Council president was currently calling their teacher a pervert who lacked common decency and talked about how he should let go of M/N this instant as he tried to pull the hot teacher from the bed. Megamo left the room to call back home to tell them that he'll be staying over at a friend's residence for the night.
While they were trying to get M/N to bed, Eiko discussed with Mido about the sleeping arrangements. Even though Mido lives next door, he doesn't trust Megamo so he's going to keep watch with a handsome smile gracing his features.
Ah, no wonder sensei's so popular with the girls in school.
After talking about it for a long time, Eiko can sleep on a futon in M/N's room with the caretaker while he and Megamo will stay in the living room. They set up a few futons and turned off the lights.
Fun Fact #2 : M/N is scared of the dark.
M/N stumbles out of his blankets and grab the closet person, with silent tears running down his face. Unlike earlier, this M/N just stared. There was no noise of complaint, just quiet begging as he tightly clung onto Mido's body.
Picking up M/N, Mido tried his best to soothe the sobbing boy in his arms. M/N clung tightly to him like a koala, refusing to let him go. Mido had absolutely no problem with this at all. He's just going to cuddle M/N to sleep.
Simple.
Eiko was just recording all of this from her little corner. She faithfully observed as Mido pulled M/N into the sheets. Mido held M/N in his arms as he used his phone. Everyone was having a good ol' time...well, except Megamo and the caretaker.
That night, everyone just slept in M/N's bedroom.
.
.
.
It was morning and Eiko was along in the morning. M/N was already cooking in the kitchen and Megamo and the caretaker he assigned were nowhere to be seen. According to M/N, Megamo just left not too long ago, taking the caretaker in tow. No matter how much Megamo didn't trust M/N with Mido, he had no choice but to leave earlier than he would have liked.
Mido greeted her with a small wave, sitting on the kitchen counter as he secretly eyed M/N as he prepared breakfast. Eiko can see Mido quietly staring at M/N as he worked, pretending to be busy on his phone whenever M/N looked his way.
" Are you sure you don't need my help with anything, cutie? Many told me that I'm quite skilled with my hands. "
M/N scoffed, reminding the male of the last time he burned the fish and he cut himself preparing the vegetables. Mido laughs it off and claims that this time will be different. Eiko watched as the two playfully bickering.
In contrast with how M/N is in school, the M/N in front of her seemed less restrained and looked more relaxed. If she didn't stay over, she probably wouldn't have noticed how stiff was at school. It was quite...refreshing.
[Park Day]
Eiko decided she was going to sketch by the park today, trying to sketch more of the environment around her. Boy, was she glad she did.
The leader of the now expelled delinquent group, Osoro Shidesu, was busy trying to make M/N a flower crown with some wildflowers they found during their walk together. M/N relaxed against Osoro's body. It was honestly quite cute. None of them said a word but they both look satisfied.
While Eiko was about done with her initial sketch, Hanako, who was jogging, saw some bastard, littered in scars, with his senpai.
Sweat rolled down Hanako's slightly toned body, a cold look on his face as he towered over the two. She sometimes questions how M/N finds the imposing nature of Hanako cute but she won't judge as she patiently waited for everything to unfold.
Evidently, Osoro didn't share the same sentiment as M/N as protectively hiding M/N behind, blocking Hanako's view. Turning to look at Hanako with a threatening look on his face after handing M/N the flower crown.
" Senpai. "
Even though Hanako didn't know M/N for long, he felt disturbed even M/N didn't fly over by his side excitedly and instead just wave at him before continuing to lean against that guy.
Osoro didn't like how the shorty was looking at him and M/N and decided a new change of scenery would be nice. Dragging M/N to his feet, he proceeded to guide M/N to a different location from shorty but Hanako followed after them. They probably would've spent the rest of the day like this if M/N didn't invite them both for lunch.
[Hair]
" M/N, you seem to be enjoying yourself. "
M/N nodded his head as he played with Mido's long bangs. Mido stared at how M/N almost longingly caressed his hair. M/N explained that he used to have long hair but it was too hard to maintain so he had to cut it. It keeps getting caught on something and it hurt when it was pulled.
M/N childishly explained with a pout. Mido laughed and cooed at his cutie neighbour.
----
Rubbing the back of his head, M/N remembered was surrounded by a bunch of delinquents and they kept pulling on his hair. He couldn't escape cause it was super easy to grab his hair so when his childhood friend showed up and saved him, he embraced M/N's face with his bloodied hand.
The way his childhood friend looked at him scared him more than the delinquents. He trembled when he felt blood smeared on his lips but didn't dare to back away. His friend's hand travelled from his face to touch his long hair. His ponytail broke at some point, leaving his letting his long hair down.
" M/N's hair is so pretty ", his friend twisted a strand between his fingers, " ...but it's bringing so many problems so we might as well cut it. "
M/N was too eye catching, attracting pests from left and right wherever he goes.
So he did, he unhesitantly grabbed his long hair into a bundle and chopped it all off in one fell swoop with one of the delinquents' weapons. M/N's hair was uneven and jagged but he didn't care about that at the moment. Before his hair was cut, he fell the cold metal body of the knife. Staring in horror at the fallen hair on the ground, his friend reassured him he still liked him just as much.
Of course, M/N never said any of this out loud. He just continued relishing the comforting head pats his neighbour gave him.
[Rumours, Geiju's reaction]
Geiju...doesn't really pay attention to gossip so he learned about "M/N's relationship" a little bit later than others. He was about to call M/N, he noticed Eiko coming up to him with a thick folder of her comics. Subconsciously thinking it would be about him and M/N, he eagerly opens the folder only to see it about Megamo and M/N.
" It's thick. " ...and had more pages compared to her Geiju and M/N pairing.
" Oh! That's because I started working on that ever since I noticed Student Council president and M/N's chemistry. "
Geiju looks at her, almost offended. Was she saying that he and M/N had no chemistry?
.
.
.
Geiju still agreed to go over it and give his comments the next day. That's why he came home with a thick folder, sulking. His mother figured it was something related to M/N again and kicked her husband out of the room to discuss matters involving her future son-in-law.
Basing it on the little hints and complaints her son gave, one of his former clubmates liked pairing Geiju and M/N together and even made cute comics of them being together but suddenly she switched sides and started shipping M/N with another guy after seeing their "chemistry". It didn't help that new rumours started emerging about the two being an item.
So, she decides to call M/N. She liked M/N very much and if he started dating this other boy, then she'll support it but it'll obviously be better if he would get together with her son. Even if they didn't work out, she already considered M/N one of her children so she wouldn't treat M/N any differently. She can't force feelings.
She puts the call on speaker as he waits for M/N to pick up. She notices her son couldn't help but sneakily peek over at her, with a wishful look on his face.
Talking it over, M/N laughs and explains he just worried over his friend not eating during lunch. This manages to improve Geiju's mood until he saw some of Eiko's reference photos.
" ... "
Apparently, this comic was a polyamorous relationship. She literally included everyone BUT Geiju.
