Who are U?

Twenty-nine.

"Who's a good girl huh!! Who's a good girl? You are!!!" Elsa was jumping with excitement seeing Auden touching the treat bag. He ruffled her fur when she earned her treat but he stops and washes his hand in the sink of the kitchen while making himself some breakfast.

After his morning run, he went straight to the shower knowing that no one would be awake so early. Believe it or not, Auden is a very morning person, that's due to his late father who taught him many things in life before passing. He puts some Chris Brown on the Homepod. With every step he would take Elsa would be a step ahead looking up at him. He would smile at her too, then suddenly Elsa looks away and runs out of the kitchen, Auden's eyes follow her, curious as to why she ran out like that. He then hears a soft giggle.

It's Aiko, he thought to himself.

She came in with an overexcited dog trying to lick her face, she laughs as she tucks her hair behind her ear then she looks up and shoots a smile at Auden who was looking at her already.

"Hi good morning!" She greets.

"Morning! Didn't know I would find anyone up by now" She smiles. "How was your sleep?" Auden proceeds to ask.

"I don't stay in bed when there's no assignment~" They laugh, "but sleep was premium, think I should bring that mattress back with me to Toronto." She poses as if she was thinking about it, though the idea was pleasant to her mind.

Auden nods in approvement while putting on display his beautiful white teeth. "I'm making something to eat, want something?" He turns around looking for whatever is in the cupboards.

"Um, I wouldn't want to bother you with that..." Aiko assures him.

"Hey I offered, it's no problem. Besides, how could I eat in front of you and look you in the eyes~" He tells her with a little wink. Auden may not have noticed it but, that act alone gave Aiko slightly rosy cheeks.

"Well, if you so insist I'll have whatever you're having." 

"What if I tell you that I'm having boiled snails and ant soup for protein, would you eat that with me?" Auden smirks at the horrified look on Aiko's face, then he starts laughing wholeheartedly. Aiko relaxes realizing that this man was just messing with her.

She kind of... liked that about him. She thought.

Auden decided on some breakfast burritos, not being shy with the eggs and red onions, meanwhile, Aiko gets the coffee maker ready. She prepares two mugs for themselves. 

"Sugar, no sugar, milk, no milk... how do you like your coffee?" She addresses him.

Auden looks behind him and sees the mugs, "Oh thanks! And no sugar for me but, yes to hazelnut coffee milk!" He says cheerfully. What's this? Feels like they're a couple doing their morning things together. He chuckles and shakes his head out of that silly thought.

After a few showing off of skills, food was ready. He sets the plates on the island, with some fruits from the refrigerator, Aiko helps by getting the cutleries and apple juice.

They sit beside one another, then Aiko joins her hands and says 'thank you for the food' Auden smiles and tells her to dig in. He was unexpectedly waiting for her opinion or reaction, or whatever is it that he was anticipating. For a few seconds there Auden was watching her chew gracefully while following the curve of her nose bridge, he notices her long slightly curved lashes, and finally her beautiful delicate neck-

Hold the- hold a damn minute, what am I thinking right now? Shit, I'm down bad. He sighs and looks at his plate.

"This is very good, like very delicious. I don't like tomatoes but I could eat them today!!" She turns to him with both thumbs up. Auden feigns clearing his throat to evade compliments from her. The rest of breakfast was laying in peaceful silence with Elsa snoozing in a corner.
