kat8chaNiou's fingers twitched. He'd just been passing by the hardware store when he saw the display.
Niou was out for a walk, just a walk nothing big, and doing a little window shopping when the hardware store window called him like a siren. There was this glorious display of hammers, and ratchets, and screwdrivers. Niou's fingers twitched as he eyed the smallest of the screwdrivers. It was the perfect size to fit into his pocket without detection, and just the right size to be put to work on all the little screws that held Rikkai together.
Problem was Niou was a little short on change. Okay, he was flat out broke. Niou's mom had tightened his allowance so much that he could barely buy a can of juice at lunch without having to beg for change. Niou could go back to shaking down underclassmen for cash, but Yanagi would know and Sanada would then kick his ass. Plus Yukimura would find out and… Well, when Yukimura was upset he was upset. Niou hardly wanted to deal with the three demon's disapproval.
It was small enough Niou might be able to fit it inside his pocket and get out of the store without being caught, but Niou didn't like to steal. Stealing was illegal and Niou enjoyed walking the fine line of legality far too much to just give over and break the law. Even if that screwdriver looked real pretty.
"Niou-kun?" The tone of voice was only faintly tinged with surprise. Niou turned and looked at Yagyuu, flashing a devious grin. Yagyuu's arms were burdened with shopping bags and behind him Niou could see Yagyuu's older sister.
"Yagyuu! Hey, mind lending me some cash?"
