“Make me,” he'd say, eyes challenging whichever poor soul which was destined to be the submissive on in the argument.
More often than not, they'd nod meekly, and slink off. (Then again, there were the few who did try, but they ultimately ended up with the same fate.) Yuu was used to that kind of reaction. No fuss, no counter-attacks, no fighting back. They saw the fight in his eyes, and were too spineless to do anything about it. It, to him, was a comfortable kind of relationship. Comfortable, and practiced.
-
Comfortable, practiced and given, till this day. And of all the people (People. He'd have to reconsider that later) to challenge him, his opponent was...
Suu.

“Sensei, you should really keep this place in a better state!” She chided, her little mouth in a frown as she tapped him on the nose with a miniature feather duster. He growled and swatted her away, expecting her to give up and simply get back into the damn cage and stop messing with the room.
“Sensei! Since when has this been here! Throw things away once you finish with them, okay?”
“I'm not a teacher anymore, so stop-”
“Sensei! These robots are so dusty~ I'll just place them on this shelf here, okay? You should take better care of things which you treasu-”
“I don't treasure them! And stop calling me-”
“Sensei, don't you like cleaning? I love cleaning~ It makes me feel so nice and its so fun and-”
“Don't touch those things! They're-”
“Here you go, Sensei! Hot, black coffee~ Would you like some sugar to go with that? Or maybe milk? I didn't know how you liked your coffee so...”
Yuu was about to snap at her again (or stick her back into the cage so she could stop flying around being all... Preppy) when the hot aroma of coffee hit him. He'd been awake throughout the night, and the scent of it was very much welcome. He looked at the little Chara floating around, still dusting an already-spotless (thanks to her, of course) desk, before looking back at the computer screen.
“One sugar.”
He could just feel her smile as Suu neatly dropped it into his mug. (Smirk, he'd say, but as he found out later, Suu wasn't capable of smirking.)
-
“Sensei, I thought you promised! You said that you would keep things clean from now on...”
Yuu looked up, surprised at the voice which seemed utterly out of place in the staff room. And there she was, that same pink duster cleansing every inch of his wooden desk.
“Suu?” He asked, utterly baffled at her presence, before remembering to lower his voice. “Suu? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with-”
“Sensei, these chocolates are expired! I hope you haven't been eating them...”
“-With Hinamori-san and the rest of the-”
“Sensei! How could you forget to water the plant! Plant-san, I'm so sorry, here you go~”
“-The guardians or the Charas but-”
“Ma, Sensei, you really should throw away the pens which no longer have ink in them anymore. Or even better, Suu will help you put them into the recycling bin!”
“SUU!” He cried, completely exasperated and spent and-
Ah shit.
Looking around, all the teachers in the room were staring at him, either with an eyebrow raised in question (of sanity) or eyes wide with worry at his apparent madness.
“I-I-I mean... Er... SU-PER!” Yuu laughed, awkwardly scratching the back of his head in an attempt to look sheepish. “T-This essay... Its SUUU-PER!”
The teachers laughed, and Yuu sank back into his seat, warily eyeing Suu, who was looking over the essay he was grading.
“Is the essay really that super, Sensei?”
He laughed.

And as he sat there, chewing at the gum which was placed in his mouth, courtesy of his little friend, Nikaidou Yuu couldn't help but think that he was going soft. Soft, as compared to his old self in Easter.
Must be all the kids, he mused, eyes fixed on the road, her ears trained to said kids' idle conversation in the backseat.
Or, Yuu considered, it might be Suu. Suu, who somehow seemed to have the ability to preempt his needs before he registered their presence, Suu who came to the staff room to clean up after him every second day, Suu who reminded him of what was truly important.
He was tempted to smack himself on the head. Who, he asked himself, got attached to a Chara of all-
“Sensei! Did the gum su-weep all the icky feelings away~?”
Yuu chewed a few more times before answering.
“Yup!”
Me, I suppose.

A/N:
Pssh. I know I said I wouldn't leave a muse unattended to for a long period of time, but staying up till 1.30am writing this is ridiculous. Still, I really like this one, no matter how pointless or fluffy it is. Heh. I hope you guys liked it too! Suu/Nikaidou is more of a friendship pairing to me, and I hope that was more or less brought out here. I don't see them having anything more, personally speaking. Anyway, comments and all that always appreciated! Thanks for reading.
