Amane's Pov

I woken up nicely next morning. The memories of yesterday rushed through my head that I remember being kept by that Toilet paper mummy and his beautiful husband.

I smile a little before getting up from my bed and head to the bathroom for some quick shower before changing into a sweat pants, loose turtle neck sweater and some fluffy inside slippers.

Today I decided to tie my hair into a bond before stepping out of my room with my sketch book and head to the living room.

Its really quiet. The living room was empty so I learn that the couple was probably still asleep. I bit my lips before heading to the fridge to fine some ingredient to used.

After that, I set everything on the sink and washed it before grabbing a knife and bowl and start cutting those veggies.

Chuuya's Pov

I woke up freed from my husband's tentacles like arms. It made me smile before leaving a kiss on his forehead and stepped inside the bathroom.

Today, I dont have much work so I can slow down for today, I brushed my teeth and wash my face before heading out to check the kid, but when I got there I didn't seen her. It made me wonder before I went to the living room and found rustling inside the kitchen.

I made me curious so yeah, I went and checked it only to be surprised when I saw the table was fixed and filled with steaming foods, plates and utensils. I blink severally before hearing a gasp and saw Amane looked like she'd been caught by a car's light.

''I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." I raised my hand to stop her before smiling at her. ''No. Its fine. I never knew you can cook,'' I said while smiling at her. Her cheeks were dusted by pink dust and she start to hide on her apron making me chuckled on how cute it was.

''H-hey! Don't laugh at me!" She yell. I cant help it. She's so cute. ''Your cute,'' I slipped making her face turn like a tomato. ''I'm not!" She whisper and was completely hidden on her apron. I cut off my teasing by smiling at her.

''Say, is this your first time cooking?" I asked while tying my hair into a pony tail. ''No... I cook for those Syndicates,'' She replied softly that made me paused. ''Syndicate?" I echoed. I pretty much expected her to be in a family but...

''I was shun away at the very young age by my family. They called me a monster when I accidentally brought to life those drawings I done. I was picked up and was raised by Syndicate as they also used my ability for evil. I was a servant to them and pretty much, I learn lots of house hold chores,'' They ways she said not even half of her pass, though, it tells me that she was used on stating it freely, but looking into her eyes.

I can see pain, betrayal, longing and sadness in them. I pretty much know now why Osamu was attracted to the kid. Not in a romantic way. Its because he sees himself in this kid. I was silent for a while before finally mastering up the courage to speak.

I kneel infront of her and smile. ''Your pretty much welcome on our home, Amane-chan,'' I said softly while making a strong eye contact. Her eyes were actually beautiful.

The Icy shades of her eyes makes her features more unique and beautiful. I was startled when her eyes filled with tears. She start to sob and say 'thank you' again and again. She stopped when I hold her head.

''Your welcome,'' I mumbled, enveloping her in a tight embrace like how Kouyou done to me when I'm in my fragile state. She clutch my shirt and I can feel her trembling in my embraced before she finally relaxed.

''Better?" I asked and she just nod with e bright smile. ''Yes. Thank you,'' She mumbled. I nod before ruffling her hair and got up. ''How about you waked up that Roll of toilet paper,'' I suggest while grinning at Amane. She had the same grin as I have right now before she run off while I settled on the table.

Not long, I can here my husband voice as well Amane's. Both were arguing again. So when they stepped inside the kitchen and saw me. My husband smile. ''Morning,'' He said. ''Morning. C'mon Osamu, lets eat Amane-chan's cookings,'' I know he was shock but I only play dumb and invite them.

While we eat, this two argue again. But this time its about Amane's cooking skills. The kid was annoyed though she tolerates him. It was nice to see and experience new morning rituals and I wont trade it for the world.
