Chapter 46

Humming softly, I stretch my arms over my head as watch as my mother flits around the kitchen clad in a pair of jeans and a t shirt. A giggle leaving her lips as she stands at the stove with her hand wrapped around the handle of the pan. The sweet smell of pancakes wafts around the air. My mouth waters at the sheer sight of pancakes being made by my mothers hand. A rare sight that I have hardly ever seen in my twenty one years of living on this earth. My mother making me breakfast is a rare sight as it is... but pancakes?! Pancakes are like 'birthday' material or sometimes even 'anniversary' material. Today is obviously a good day for my mother...

It's nice to see my parents flitting around the kitchen. My mother hardly cooks. It's more my dad doing the cooking because he finds it easier to do and mom doesn't like cooking meat (she gets too attached to the farm animals). My father is being a bit territorial over his kitchen. He's making sure she's doing it all correctly which is amusing considering my mom can cook despite the fact that she hardly does so. It's almost like Katsuki whenever I cook in his kitchen.

Katsuki worships his kitchen.

When I first moved in, or just started living with him, and I used his kitchen for the first time, Katsuki wouldn't leave me alone. He was over my shoulder, telling me when I put the oven too hot (when it was perfect for the food). He scolded me when I used my own oven mitts and not his which made me kick him out of the kitchen until I finished. He got better over time. Well, every now and then he'll hover over and watch me cook before nodding to himself and walk away. It's like he's judging all of my cooking. He's like my professor! It's hilarious yet creepy... but that's what I love about him...

Minutes later, mom slides my plate of pancakes toward me before kissing my cheek. I felt like a child again. A sweet, little eight year old who had a rough night with spiders crawling into her bed and racing into her parents room to get away from them. I felt like five year old clad in a princess outfit that was inspired by Tiana (my soul princess and my inspiration to own my own restaurant and not kiss a frog to get there) excited at the fact that my birthday had finally arrived. My father even scattered blueberries over them!

"Now, eat up," My mom hums, smiling as I immediately delve into the sweet goodness that is pancakes homemade by my mother, "Could you feed the chickens and the sheep for me? I need to help your father at Endeavor's agency, apparently his oldest son is working at his agency for extra cash now to help his wife with little Mizumi's birthday party,"

"Ah yeah, I'm catering for that," I let her know, smiling softly as my mother coos and watches as I complete the pancakes, "I'm doing the birthday cake and I'm making some other foods too. But the birthday cake is the pièce de résistance,"

"Of course, a one year old's birthday party revolves around the birthday cake," My mother hums before kissing my cheek and slipping into her shoes, "We'll be back around dinner, let Katsuki know he can stay for dinner when he comes over, okay?"

"Yeah, ma," I hum, letting her scurry out of the house with my father in tow before taking a deep breath to psyche myself up, "Come on, (Y/n)..."

With my breakfast eaten, my teeth cleaned and I'm fully showered, I head toward my bedroom to grab my farming gear. Knowing that I needed clothes that were fine with getting mucky. Growing up on a farm, you realise that you need some dirty clothes or old clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Farming is a messy job to say the least, it's not as glamorous as most people think it is. It's not all collecting eggs and having organic and homegrown food! It's also rearing the animals, keeping them healthy and making sure they're all happy!

Settling for an old top and some leggings, I change into those chosen clothes and slip some rain boots on as well. I'm not going out there in sneakers! Once that's all on, I grab my hair tie and tie my hair up so it's out of my face and doesn't get mud all over it. That's the last thing I needed right now.
