A/N: Take this Akaza that I drew specifically for this chapter!

♪───O(≧∇≦)O────♪

"Do you like fish?" You ask.

Akaza cocks an eyebrow: "To eat?"

"No, just to have as a pet," You correct him, "Like a goldfish or something."

"Uh..." Akaza looks down where one of your hands was holding the fish he just won for you, "Sure."

You cheere silently.

Fish are fucking awesome.

You were on Akaza's back, your left arm was loosely draped on his shoulder and around his next. Your other was around his waist holding the small plastic bag with your plain minnow fish in your hand against his front. Akaza's hands were holding your thighs up, your legs were loosely wrapped around his hips.

Of course, there were a few people who stared. Whether it was at Akaza's odd appearance, or simply because you were on Akaza's back.

Akaza managed to change his eyes, like Yushiro at the end of the manga.

You had to admit, his plain yellow eyes were a bit unsettling when you had gotten used to his demon ones.

Well, you didn't care that people were staring, and neither did Akaza. You both came here to have a good time, so that's exactly what you were going to do.

"Well, what are we gonna name her?" You question.

"We?" Akaza blinks.

"Yes! She's baby and we need to give her a name!"

"It's a fish."

"Baby fishy!"

"..."

"!!!"

"..."

"!!!"

"Sakana."

"Ooh!" You grin, "That's a pretty name! Does it mean something?"

Akaza nods, "Yeah. Means fish."

"Okay, you know what?" You move your left hand to pinch his cheek, "I don't have time for this kind of negativity, alright? Every second our fish lives without a name, she feels unloved! So we gotta name her!"

Akaza ignores your abuse to his cheek as he looks for a food stand that you might like.

Also, "Our fish"? Why did you say that? What are you trying to imply?

"Fine. Why don't you pick the name then?" Akaza suggests.

"I like the name Johnathan." You nod.

"...Johnathan?"

"Johnathan!"

"Johnathan... the Minnow."

"Johnathan the Minnow!"

"Johnathan is a male name, isn't it?" Akaza asks, "Didn't you say it was a she?"

"Akaza, we can stay here and bitch about gender norms. Or we can get a bitchin tank for Johnathan."

"We're not getting her a tank."

"Awe, come on! Our baby girl needs a bad-ass home!"

Don't say our baby.

"Johnathan is getting a bowl that's appropriate for her size." Akaza retorts.

"Fine then!" You finally let go of the demon's cheek, "Be that way!"
