75 Kanpai!! (1/2)

Time was tight if he wanted to cook the food and prepare his apartment for the night. Luckily, Ann and a newly clothed Stella stayed home to help him prepare.

After last night, Axel's apartment was a mess and reeked of sex. Axel and Ann actually ended up breaking some things when they stumbled across the lounge and into Axel's room.

As he rounded the corner to his apartment, Axel thought back the secondary objective he had for the part.

When everyone arrived, Axel planned to prove to them that he was, in fact, from another world. With his magic back, Axel had more definitive proof than just his word.

Bolting to the front door, Axel hastily grabbed his keys and opened the door. He stumbled about while taking his shoes off as he gently shut the door.

”I'm back!” Yelled Axel.

Two sets of footsteps registered in Axel's mind as Stella and Ann rounded the corner, their beauty enhanced by the wide smiles on their faces.

”Welcome back, Master~.” Said Stella in a sensual and teasing tone.

Ann's eyebrow twitched slightly but she composed herself rather quickly as she hugged Axel and whispered, ”Welcome home, Axel.”

Axel felt his heart speed up as moisture built up around his eyes. Quickly stopping himself from crying due to the love he felt from her words, Axel lovingly hugged her back and kissed her cheek.

”I love you, Ann.”

Before the platinum blonde could react, Axel retreated to the kitchen to get ready for the party. Ann, on the other hand, was a panting and blushing mess.

She pouted as she grumbled, ”You can't just leave a girl all hot and bothered like that, Axel…”

Stella just watched over everything with an amused and slightly envious smile. She wanted to talk to Axel, find out if they were more than just master and familiar but she could wait.

The two were bound together by their souls after all. She had all the time in the world to ask him.

Looking at the clock, Axel sighed as he had just made it. The food has been prepared and cooked, he showered, cleaned and aired out the house and dressed the naked familiar that gained her human form.

Sighing, Axel humming to himself as he mused, 'I should have a few minutes to just sit back and-'

His thoughts were quickly cut off by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

”Of course...” Sighed Axel, ”Alright! I'm coming! I'm coming!”

However, before he could get off the couch, Ann walked over and gently pushed him back as she smiled, ”Just sit back and relax for a bit, Axel. You've been busy ever since you woke up. You deserve a break. Just let Stella and I greet the guest and set the table.”

Ann went off to welcome the guests in while Stella went off to set the table. Axel was slightly worried about Stella, wondering if she could do it properly.

His worries would prove to be unnecessary as he glanced over to the table any saw her properly setting the food and plates down. He actually felt proud of his familiar as she quickly arranged the table and food.

”AXEL!”

The unexpected volume of Ryuji's voice caused Axel to jump. He quickly turned to glare at Ryuji only to stall as Ann smack him over the head so hard he fell and kissed the ground.
