Chapter 17

Kiyotaka let out an "Oomph," when he felt Mondo wrap his arms tightly around his torso after he had closed the door.

"Please don't do that again. I was so worried," Mondo muttered against Kiyotaka's hair.

Wow. Deja vu.

Kiyotaka hugged back, "I'm sorry. I got caught up with something-" he let out a yelp when felt that his hand got electrocuted by something. Mondo also flinched violently. Kiyotaka quickly pushed himself away from the hug.

"Ouch… what was that?" he held his own hand close to his chest, "I think I got zapped… Is there something on your back?"

Before Mondo could answer, Kiyotaka circled around him to his back. There was a hole in Mondo's clothing. "Excuse me," He muttered before he took off Mondo's jacket and undershirt.

Kiyotaka saw a small patch of metal on Mondo's bare back. It seemed that his artificial skin had been sliced open, revealing his metal frame and wires underneath. "Mondo. Is this some sort of a wound?" Kiyotaka asked.

He let out a grumble of affirmation.

Kiyotaka folded Mondo's clothes and held it with both of his hands. "..You kind of reek too. You really should change your clothes. Follow me. I think my father had some sizable jackets you will be able to wear," Kiyotaka tugged on Mondo's wrist and led him to the old, vacant room across Kiyotaka's bedroom.

Though, on their way, Kiyotaka stopped in his tracks when he smelled something from the kitchen. It was a nice smell. He just arrived home and he was sure that he hadn't cooked anything.

Curiously, he walked over to the kitchen. He let go of his hold from Mondo's wrist but the android followed behind him anyway.

What Kiyotaka saw was a plate of omurice on the table, the dish that consisted of egg, rice, and sauce was a bit sloppily placed on a plate. The kitchen was quite messy too but he didn't focus on that.

"Mondo…" Kiyotaka turned to the android behind him, "Did you make this?" he asked while placing Mondo's clothes on the empty side of the table.

"It's for you," Mondo said, "...but I dirtied up your kitchen," admitted in a quiet voice.

Kiyotaka huffed, "It's not a big deal. We could always clean up the kitchen afterwards."

He grabbed a spoon that was set next to a plate and took a bite of a spoonful of the food. It tasted amazing. Kiyotaka was sure that he didn't have that much spices in his kitchen (since he mostly ate only for necessity).

Kiyotaka swallowed before saying with a wide smile, "This tastes amazing!"

Mondo seemed genuinely surprised at Kiyotaka's reaction. His pink eyes lit up at the boy's grin.

"Thank you so much for cooking this for me, Mondo. It's really impressive considering that it's a difficult dish to cook and I also don't have that much spices lying around…" he set down the spoon back on the plate, "Sorry for getting sidetracked, now let's go get you some new clothes-"

Kiyotaka was cut off by a spoon nudging his mouth. Mondo had grabbed the plate and took a spoonful of the omurice. He kept nudging the spoon at Kiyotaka's mouth, urging him to eat it.

He tried to push Mondo's hand away, "I could always eat later-" but then Mondo shoved the spoon inside Kiyotaka's mouth as his lips parted while he talked.

He chewed for a few seconds and swallowed before saying, "You do know that I'm very capable of eating on my own-" Mondo shoved another spoonful of food into his mouth. Kiyotaka gave Mondo a disapproving stare but he finally gave in and let Mondo feed him.
