Summary: Kenshin looked at Edward and raised an eyebrow. “Don’t look at ME like that,” Edward muttered, stabbing his fork into the scrambled eggs viciously. “They’re half yours, too."



Without blinking, Kenshin moved his head to the side a fraction, just enough so that the soccer ball that came bouncing through the dining room brushed by his face by a hair’s breath. The black-and-white ball bounced along the table at a decent rate of speed, rebounded off the wall and was pursued first by a fully-grown, mottled gray wolf and then by Nick, who was yelling at the wolf and wearing only one shoe. 

Edward did not cease shoveling food into his mouth at a high rate of speed, only looking up to glare daggers at Nick as he passed, bumping the back of Edward’s dining room chair in his hurry. “Oi!” he shouted behind Nick, but his mouth was full of food and instead he gargled the syllable. 

Kenshin looked at Edward and raised an eyebrow. “Don’t look at ME like that,” Edward muttered, stabbing his fork into the scrambled eggs viciously. “They’re half yours, too." 

About thirty seconds later, both Takeo and Rian came thundering down the steps, both of them fully dressed, and Takeo with Nick’s other shoe. "Which way?” Takeo asked, and Kenshin pointed to the kitchen door, that led to outside. 

“Do you ever think about moving out?” Edward asked around a mouthful of eggs. 

“All the time,” Kenshin sighed, and put his fork down. 

“And we haven’t because….?" 

"If I recall correctly, you were throwing a fit about having to move all your research, and we both realized you own more books than we can store in an apartment.” Kenshin smiled despite this. “Besides, I think you’d miss the chaos." 

The soccer ball bounced against the dining room window, and somehow the glass held. Kenshin winced at the impact, and Edward glared at the window. "Or you’d miss causing it yourself,” he amended.
