As Luci lifted a box, he grumbled.

"What's wrong?" A voice called out.

"Hah?" Luci cocked his head.

"Y'need help?" The professor smiled with Randall behind him.

"Sure, thanks." Luci smiled.

"It's nice to have another guy living here, we're like a trio." The professor exhaled as he placed a heavy box down.

"What's wrong with the chicks?" Luci questioned.

"Nah, nothin' that's just Ced's poor excuse at small talk." Randall grinned, nudging the professor.

"O-oi..." The professor blushed.

"By the way," the professor began.

"How is Nana?" He asked.

"Oh, she's fine." Luci replied.

"Shoppin' for all of this new crap for the apartment was exhaustin', but I guess she had fun." He said looking down smiling.

The professor looked at him for a moment then smiled.

"I didn't think a spoiled prince had it in him to care for another, let alone a human." He teased.

Randall chuckled.

Luci opened his mouth, then quickly closed it.

"Oh, my apologies if I upset you." The professor waved his hands nervously.

"N-nah ya didn't..." Luci narrowed his eyes.

"It's pretty deserved." He mumbled.

"Hey, hey." Randall said, walking over.

"Why don't we treat you to a drink tonight, eh?" He said, wrapping an arm around the professor and Luci.

"You payin'?" The professor asked with a chuckle.

"Eh!?" Randall looked at him.

"Drinks are on you, Ced!" He cried.

"Fine, fine." The professor huffed.

Luci looked down, smiling softly.

This is nice... He thought to himself.
