Mysterious flickering lights, circuit breakers tripping, and outages were all affecting the Seasoning City metro line for weeks. The trains weren't on time and neither were the people of Seasoning City. Timely bosses who usually chided their salarymen underlings for their tardiness were huffing and puffing as they raced from the subway in a desperate attempt to make it to their desks before the clock ticked down to 8 AM.

They weren't the only ones huffing and puffing, though; Mob and Reigen had chased their target down and cornered him before he could make his way to another train line and the two were exhausted. It was nothing short of a miracle that the two of them had managed to make it to the last train of the night before the doors closed behind them.

Mob collapsed one of the train's empty seats, his damp palms pressed down atop the poly-cotton blend of his gakuran slacks. It was only by sheer miracle that they weren't soaked through. Sweat seemed to be pouring from every pore on Mob's body.

"Sorry," Mob said apologetically. "If I had been faster, we wouldn't have had to do so much running."

He was gonna start crying. His student was gonna make him cry.

"Don't you--Mob! First names with honorifics are not allowed." Despite his attempts to sound stern, it came out like a plea. "Before you ask why, I'll tell you. It sounds like you're coming onto me!"

"He's like that with everyone, remember? Plenty of adults flirt without it meaning anything, especially those in the service industry. Adults. Understand? Adults." Reigen was absolutely not letting Mob set foot outside his apartment until he got this through his head. If anyone in his neighborhood saw a middle schooler leave his place calling him Arataka-chan he'd--he didn't even want to imagine it.

"...Is it this important for you to call me by my first name?"

"I wasn't asking about Teru-kun."

"Are you sure about that?" As easy as it would have been close the book on that and pretend like it never happened, Reigen couldn't help but pry a little more. He opened a drawer and pulled out the peeler. "You never argue the point this much."

So that was it?

Mob didn't feel close to him?

Reigen further occupied his hands by searching for the right-sized pot for the potatoes as he digested that. Closeness was never the priority Reigen placed onto their relationship. Trust, obedience, guidance--yes. But now Mob was getting older and he was wanting something more from him. He wanted to know more about him. He wanted to stay over. He wanted to call him by his first name.

...

"You know..." Reigen set the pot on the counter and handed Mob the peeler. "Just because our relationship doesn't resemble the kind of friendship you have with kids your own age doesn't make it less special."

"You're the one I already spend the most time with. Even if it is at work. You're my only student." Reigen set the pot in the sink and started running the water. "Even if we're friends right now, my first priority is to make sure you're growing up well. That was my promise to you, remember? I would teach you how to use your powers."

"Maybe one day." The thought hadn't occurred to him. Reigen transferred the pot to the hot plate. "But you and I--you have nothing to worry about. We're always gonna be together. Okay?"

'Tch. Damn persistent kid', Reigen thought with a mixture of frustration and grudging affection as he salted the water.

"Fine. I'll allow Reigen. No honorifics needed. But, as we've established, not at work. And only when we're alone."

"She did. She keeps her own garden. Everything in the house was always fresh." Reigen covertly rubbed some dust off his rice cooker and pulled out a bag of rice. He measured it out and dumped it into a bowl to begin rinsing it--a vital step in the process! "She mails me produce sometimes, actually."

"I don't. They live out of town in the family home. I didn't grow up in Seasoning City, after all."

"Mitarashi. It's not as big as Seasoning--more like a town, really. But it has plenty to see. A lot of nature and greenspace." Reigen finished rinsing the rice and measured out the water for the rice cooker--adjusting until it passed the knuckle test. "I moved away for college and decided to settle here."

Reigen appraised them and transferred them to the boiling water. "They'll do. Don't worry about it. We're mashing them up."

As Reigen rinsed the residue off his fingers, he cringed--the wonderful interwoven symphony ensemble in the background was broken up with abrupt silences and harsh whirring. "Ah, damn it. Not Tchaikovsky." He waved and gestured at the end table it was sitting on. "Hey, Mob, can you find another CD in one of those drawers? Something with Satie."
