 "When I eat, he eats." she said, "He'll eat anything sometimes. Sometimes whatever I can get." she said it, smiling, trying to make the most of a bad dream. "But since I got my jobs, I can buy better food now." she gave a wide grin and a laugh behind it. She didn't know how to cook really at all. It was all guessing and reading the back of the instructions, at least whatever little she was able to read. She was pretty well spoken for herself, but reading was a struggle. ". . . and I guess so." she would answer. She wasn't sure how to refer to Setsuna, but a spirit animal seemed right enough. Even if there was no animal involved. For a moment she took a final bite, shoving the wedge in her mouth and chewing it. She wondered if her life would have been different if he was a bear, instead of a skeleton. She felt her back pocket, wondering how much money she had already. Some was in the bank, and plenty in cash was with her. Of course, there was also her secret hiding place. But even so, no matter what she did, she was going to go home, if not for the plants, to ate least finish eating all of the food she had. But then she remembered his earlier words. Safety? Did he... care? No, people didn't care. No one did. "I don't think I can choke." she said, "He protects me. If I die, he dies. So I feed him, and he keeps me safe."~ 265 ~ |

He listened to everything she had to say. Her Quirk. How she has jobs, as in plural work. Everything and he kind of felt bad for her. Did she have a similar Quirk to his? Was her Quirk more...what was that word...independent...no, thats not it. Sentient. Was her Quirk more sentient and intelligent that it protects her and eats when she eats. That would explain why she can eat rotten food. After all, he could summon Goliath. And Goliath will eat anything, food, rotten food and garbage.
"Euggh...Im lucky I dont have to do that. But this girl...I feel bad for her...I wish I could help her" he thought to himself and he tried to think of ways to help her
When it came to actually talking, he just said "I see"
He scratched his head and thought more, until he came up with a sort of solution
"Do you have a cellphone?" he asked
He got the idea that he could help the girl by remaining in contact with her. If they exchange numbers, she could call him if she needs help, whether its advice, training, company or just cooking lessons.
"If she was younger I would have totally adopted her. But she looks...legal...and not underage. I'll get in trouble if I try that with her. Susu will have my head too if I try to keep her here or adopt her" he thought

"No, I never had a reason to call anyone else I guess." she stopped eating for the moment. To think about her words. She didn't do a lot of things other people did. She didn't eat with company, nor serve guests. The only interaction she had was with the people at the shelters where she volunteered. She had no reason to phone them, as they didn't have them either. It was in that moment, she realized she was nothing more than someone homeless, who happened to have money, and a home. She was just a rich bum. But she didn't care. "Why, ya thinkin' of checking up on me?" she asked, actually curious for once. It wasn't often that someone cared for her. "It's not like I have anything keeping me back home. I mean if it makes you feel better I can just move out here. Plus it's cheaper I think." She looked around the house. He seemed well off, and had to be just as funded as she was. If he could afford such a large place alone, then she could do the same with someplace smaller. "Money isn't that hard to come by. I'm sure I could afford it. I mean after I get the job at that school I think I should be able to get a place even bigger than yours." she'd say it with laughter. It was just a rumor, a wanted ad someone mentioned to her. But working there had to be great. She just needed to find a way in. ~ 258 ~ |

So she didnt have a cellphone. G thought of solutions how he could help her, because he already realized that she was like a homeless person but with a home. She was like the lonely cat lady, minus the cats.
She asked if he thought checking up on her
"Well...more like being available for you if you needed help cooking something or company to talk to or stuff" he explained
But then she said that she could move here,w hich surprised him and kind of made him freeze. He was worried about his love life which actually just started. He finally made a secure relationship and this was a big risk for him. But something else she said calmed him down. She was willing to pay for her stay here. So...it was like rent
He took a deep breath and spoke "Ok. You know what? You can stay. I can show you to your room and show you around the house. But you will have to pay for your stay here. If we met sooner, at least a week sooner, I would have allowed you to stay here for free. But stuff in my life change, so I have to charge you so I wouldnt get in trouble. I will make like a contract thingy to make it seem more official. And I will look up prices online so I can gauge how much a room or an apartment cost. Buut, if I were you. I wouldnt take all of your stuff from your house here. Because if my girlfriend says she's coming. I think you're gonna have to go. So ...take some stuff like essentials to move here. Is that ok with you? Or if you want. We can buy you a cellphone so we can keep in contact"

She owed him. That was her word. She would never go against her word. She would reach into her back pocket and grab half the cash she had on her person. It wasn't everything that she had, but it was way more than a normal person carried. Of course, she had most of her savings in the bank, and also the money she kept in her secret place. She opened it to grab what seemed to be several thousand, and placed it on the table. It was more than enough. And to her, money had no value to her, only the things that she could obtain with money. "First, this should be enough for however long. she said, "Second I don't need a room, I can sleep on the floor or whatever. And last, I don't really have anything you'd call essential at my home. I have maybe some food. I'll probably eat it all tomorrow. And if or whenever this lucky lady comes, I'll leave and just find my own place, Mista G." she said. It was a change of events. And she would get out of her seat and leave the table. As she walked away to the front door, she would continue "Well, then I guess we might as well enjoy what I got too. Cept the cereal is mine. He gets cranky when I don't feed him." And she would go to get her bags and drag them to the kitchen and start to put them away. After getting them all out onto the floor, she would open a cabinet only to find out how lost she was. She would stop and return to the table. "I'll also buy a phone tomorrow then, if you want." she suggested. ~ 292 ~ |

He was surprised when he was given like several thousand yen. It was a real 'shut up and take my money' moment After she said her stuff, G said. "Listen...first off,you're not gonna sleep on the floor or the sofa. I have a free room and dammit woman you'll use it and get your moneys worth" and with that he took her hand and showed her around the house. He showed her the living room, the kitchen/dinning room area didnt need showing as they were already there. he showed her the bathroom. Showed her that the master room was of course his bedroom. And then told her that the 2nd bedroom was off limits, but showed her that the 3rd bedroom was for her. "See? This can be the place you sleep. It has a bed and a window and you can mess with it as much as you like" he said And after the tour he finally addressed what she said about getting a phone. He had to wait on that because he just didnt want her to sleep like an animal. "Well...also about what you said before. I'd advise you get a phone. You never know if you need to call someone for an emergency. Or for company while away" |

She was dragged around and shown the house. It was a really strange change of pace. But perhaps for the better. This house was much closer to the university, and if she got the job it would be a much shorter commute. Perhaps it was the better route to take. After he showed her the room she was going to stay, she stared at the room. It was probably half the size of her entire apartment, not including the space that sink, bathroom and other things took up. "Whoa." she looked at it, It mocked her life, all of her choices. She walked into the room, almost ignoring his words about the phone. She knelt to the floor and rested her head against it. It was so strange, and it was something she didn't really have the need to buy. But now, she had one in her life, and she would use it. "A real bed!" she nuzzled it and buried her face into it. However the day was gonna end, she was going to go back home to eat all of the last of her food. The rent was paid for the rest of the month, so she could offer it to some of the shelter people until it was up. Then she would never return there, probably ever again. She sat on the floor and rested her back against the bed, looking at the man. "I'll help with chores too. I'm good with them. I used to be a really good janitor!" she raised her hand as she said so, like an excited student in class. ~ 268 ~ |

Probably for the first time since forever, he had this smile, a genuine smile of happiness that he helped someone. The fact that she was happy over a simple bed. He wasnt sure if he should be happy he finally got her a bed to sleep in or sad that she had a home for herself but lacked an actual bed. Because thats what her statement told him.
Then she said that she was a janitor and good with chores
"Oh..umm..well..if you're good, then help is appreciated. Im gonna go do the dishes now. You can do whatever you want. Tomorrow Im gonna make our contract so I personally dont get in trouble and I'll make a copy of the keys so you can go in and out, if Im at work" he said
Thinking about it, he had to make a copy of the house keys, not only when he goes out, or work. He also needs her to have extra keys if he's out during the night when he hunts Villains.
But before he went to actually wash the dishes he asked "Hey, before I go...Do you need anything?"
He didnt know why, but something about this girl made him develop these sort of big brotherly insticts and reactions. Maybe it was the fact that she lacked a bed in her home, maybe it was the similar Quirk, maybe it was her loneliness or maybe it was everything.

"I'll clean them.". she would speak, rising to her feet quickly. She wouldn't let him speak another word as she would move past him to clean off the table. She would reach to both plates and the bottles that were finished and head to the kitchen. "Make the contract now then if you want." she would say, "It's not like I won't listen to your rules. After all it's your house." It was how it was. And if he was as fair as he would be now, and later, then all was well. And if it was unbearable conditions, she would disappear like she always did. But here, she could pretend she had a happy family, at least for now. This was the life she had chosen to live. And for now, it would benefit everyone. He would have money, and she would have a place to stay, that also happened to be closer to her goal. And if the two of them could enjoy each others company for the time being, then perhaps it was all okay. Maybe another night they would learn a bit more about each other, after all, they were living together now. She would set them into the sink, along with the pot he used to boil the eggs. She even took the knife she used to cut the cheese with. She was prepared to clean them fast, with a rinse first... and then. . . ~ 241 ~ |

"If you insist" he said and walked away in search of pen and a sheet of paper
Going to the living room and digging through some stuff, he found what he was looking for. He sat at the table in the dining room and wrote. This contract said that the two were just landlord and tenant. Their relationship was completely platonic and business like. And the rules about keeping this place were that she wasnt allowed to bring guests in his absence and that the kids room was completely off limits. And that in case of his girlfriend, she'd have to go. And of course he signed it, but never used his real name. He kept it to G.
Now Kasey also had to sign. But, after she finishes the dishes.
After she finishes the dishes and signs the contract, G would be able to tell her that she would be welcome to come after his girlfriend would leave. He feels it would be wrong to kick her out just because his girlfriend is jelly. So for now, he thought of possible solutions for that problem as well, but sadly came up with nothing. So, for now he just sat at the table and waited for her

It wasn't long for her to clean up after them. Soon they were set to dry and she begun to put her other groceries away. It was weird to leave home and to not come back like you expected, but that was just how her life was. Nothing happened according to her plans. Not since she had listened to that man. That day that she- "Fuckin-" she held her left hand. The sink was cleaned out as the red liquid poured out. It was a small cut, but it had surprised her. Normally she didn't wince from the pain, but for once, she wasn't feeling the pain. For once, she was happy, even for just a passing moment. She wrapped her hand in her dress and made her way to the man that sat with his hand written contract. She sat down beside him, quickly reading it over. Only to the fact, she couldn't really read it. "Wanna go over this really fast or you just want me to sign? What's in the fine print?" she'd say it, only to stare hard at the paper. "Oh, and keys. Do you have one so I can see it?" she asked. It would have been normal for her to have a key, but she was forgetful, and for the time being, when he cut them, she would make her own. But he didn't know that. ~ 233 ~ |

As he was at the table, he saw her sit down beside him and saw that her hand was wrapped in the dress and by the "Fuckin-" she said earlier, it was clear she cut herself
"Just a moment" he said as he got up to take some bandages out of the bathroom.
Normally he'd probably freak out and rush, but for now it seemed like this was gonna be a regular thing with this girl, so he tried to remain calm. He easily found bandages because he had lot and lots of them, due to being a vigilante, him getting injured was very possible. And not to mention when he goes out as civillian, he would wrap his tattoos with the bandages and cover them, so people wouldnt freak out.
He returned back to Kasey and took her wrapped hand
"Ok gimme that. You're just gonna mess up your dress" he said as he started wrapping a small bandage around the small cut
He would prefer it if she didnt get her clothes dirty. Its not like he had womens clothes and its not like he wants to see her in bra and panties. Well...she is a hot girl, but he's taken, so its a no no. Which actually reminded him that he should also watch himself when it comes to dressing up.
"Im gonna guess that you dunno how to read" he said that based on the fact that she doesnt know how to cook or how to eat an egg, and the fact that her home lacked a bed.
"Ok, so on paper it says that you and I are just landlord and tenant. Our relationship is completely platonic, and in case you dont know what that means. It means that its not romantic or sexual. We're just friends or acquaintances if you dont like us being friends. And the rules are that you cant bring guests if Im not home and that the room I showed you earlier is off limits, always. And if my girlfriend comes, you gotta go. The smallprint or fineprint isnt written. But the 'fineprint' is that when my girlfriend leaves, you're always welcome to come here if you need a place to stay. Is that all ok?" he asked
And then he explained about the keys "I can go out tomorrow and make a copy of them la-....wait...I gotta ask...do you know what keys are and how to use them?"
He was really worried about this girl. It felt dangerous to even leave her alone at the house as she could burn the place down. Oh boy, now what?

By the time he took her hand to bandage it, the bleeding would have stopped. The cut would still remain, but blood would no longer pour out. "It's okay, really, I'm used to it. These dresses are only like a few bucks each.""I can read, I just never really had to... and I guess forgot how to." Maybe as a child she once read all the time. Maybe that's where her knowledge came from, but even so, with years without practice, all of the years of living on the streets or a lab, all she needed to know was how to speak. She didn't need to read. If she had to read it, she couldn't afford it. And if it was a warning label, her stomach's need would disregarded the chance of illness. He would explain the contract, and she would nod in agreement. It was plenty fine. And if and when she came, Kasey was sure she would make herself useful enough to stay. But she would not push and make her way to break up a relationship, for her own needs. She was plenty happy living alone. If it lasted a month, or a year under this man's roof, she would be content. "I read a lot of books and I know plenty words. I just might have forgotten how to read... for the last few years. . . " she admitted to herself, as well as him. "If you can show me the key, I can make one myself. So you can save some money. No sense wasting time over something so simple." She believed it was so. She had more than enough extra teeth and have gotten used to pulling them and manipulating them for various tools. It was easier that way. With years of practice behind it, the blood only took a few minutes to stop ~ 312 ~ |

She...forgot how to read? Hoo boy, G took another deep breath. He then listened to her that she could make her own key. G mentally prayed that her Quirk is 'key making' or 'item replication'...but then he remembered that her Quirk might have some hungry Spirit Animal she has to feed. So he had no idea how she planned to do it...Ah well
"Ok...Assuming you cant read. Im gonna say that you cant write as well, right? Can I just...give you the pen and ...like...guide your hand so 'you' can sign your name on this contract. Like a real landlord and tenant?" he asked, trying to make it be official and not shady. He also thought that if she didnt know how to write that he could teach her. Like teaching her how to write A. And she would have to write a whole row in a notebook of A's. It was like...teaching a child how to write again. Which G was fine with. Although he kind of wished that she wasnt so well endowed and tempting
"No no no no!!! I will not give in teh temptation. Im gonna pretend she's too innocent and young and not this. AND I WILL NOT CHEAT!! GODAMMIT MAN BE STRONG!!!" he thought to himself. He really had to pretend like she was young and has an adult body or something, because he was taken and she was tempting. But luckily. She wasnt tempting enough. After a bit of...thinking. He finally decided that she can only be eye candy. And nothing more. She is a tenant living under his roof...or maybe a little sister. Everything that is platonic. Yes, he managed to retain his cool so far and he can maintain it for a month!! Yes, this was like...a challenge!! And he never backs down from a challenge! He will be good!!
And then after all THAT, he finally brought up the key
"Ok. Lemme see" he said as he reached in his pocket and took out his key and put it on the table "So...you can make a copy..yourself?" he raised his brow. He hopes this is something instant, cuz he really needs to have keys to his home. Because he goes out and gets around a lot

"I can't read, well. I guess that's a better explanation." she would say, "Plus a signature doesn't require you to read. You're just drawing the same line, every time. There's no reading skill involved."She looked at the contract. And picked up the pen. She looked for the line to sign and write her name. Easy enough. But as she did so, she could feel him conjure up his own thoughts. She shook off the idea and finished up the contract. He would look for his key, and she would grab the bandages. She knew her routine. He put the key on the table and she reached out to feel the grooves and cuts in the key. She nodded to herself and closed her eyes. She leaned her head back and reached to the side of her mouth. Two teeth would change shape and she would reach to get them both. With a tug, she would tear them from her mouth, making as little mess as possible. She took a bit of the bandage to chew on. She would set two replicas of the key on the table next to the real one. She'd move them so the teeth of them all pointed upwards, and she would measure with her eyes how even they looked. "Anph anm exthra." she would say with the bandage acting like gauze in her mouth. She wasn't sure why she needed two, but maybe she just wanted to be prepared. Now on the table was a signed contract, a metal key and two bone white keys. What else was left? Perhaps by the time he was ready to speak, the bleeding would stop. Perhaps. ~ 279 ~ |
