"Is that for work?" Keito asked as he set his backpack down.

Serizawa looked up from a thick hardcover and nodded. "I've been behind on recommendations and while I'm the head of the Science and Technology shelves, it's hard to know what's good..."

Keito nodded. That was a pretty broad category, after all.

"This one has simple explanations and illustrations, though," Serizawa continued. "And I don't have to read every page."

"You can keep reading," Keito said quickly. "I'll make dinner."

He didn't say anything when Serizawa didn't protest. It was probably a more interesting book than Serizawa had realized.

Besides, Keito had gotten better at cooking in Serizawa's kitchen and could even make cosmic lattes without too much trouble.

Maybe he'd make them each their own little universe, just because. Then he'd see about dinner and his own homework. He had the next day off, and Serizawa had work.

It wasn't really fair...

"Keito-kun, did you know..."

All while Keito worked, Serizawa told him little facts from the book. He almost felt like he should be writing them down, but he didn't think he'd get quizzed on them.

Serizawa set the book aside for his latte...

And a kiss.
