Migraine-free day.

Felix's morning was more pleasant than normal as it didn't feel like he was giving electric therapy. He pulled his covers away and got out of bed, already hearing the morning chatter of the other parents. He fixed his hair before walking over and pulling his curtains back and pushing his window open.

"Felix!"

The named male smiled towards the woman who had greeted him. "Do you feel better?" One asks and Felix nodded his head. "Much better," He said and everyone cheered. "Did the twins tell you what happened yesterday?" The woman next door spoke which caught Felix's attention. "They only told me they went to the drug store with la signora Mazza," Felix answered and looked at everyone as his eyebrows knitted together. "Did...something else happen?" Nobody answered for a few seconds and Felix didn't want to demand the answer out of the women. One finally spoke up. "la signora Mazza told us not to tell you, but we can't keep something like this from you," A lady said and Felix looked towards her. "A weird guy tried to give your boys something, I think it was a toy or something," She explained and Felix would've been fine with it if she didn't continue on with her explanation, "the guy was in all black and la signora Mazza explained it much worse and I don't want to tell you those words as you probably have an idea of what I mean."

Felix knew what she meant but that wasn't the guy's intent. He knew the indent of what they were doing and Felix wasn't impressed with it. "Okay, thank you for telling me," Felix said after a couple of seconds of silence. They all gave nods of agreement and watched the troubled male close his window and pull his curtains back. He stood at the window for a few seconds before shaking the feeling away and leaving the room to see if the twins were up.

He was in the hallway when he heard giggling from downstairs followed by a voice. His eyebrows furrowed and he walked to the stairs. He walked down the staircase and as he got to the bottom stair, he stopped and smiled at the older woman who was telling one of her many stories to the twins.

"Good morning, la signora Mazza."

Felix's voice caught the attention of his sons and the elder. She stopped her story and smiled at the young father who kneeled down to give morning kisses to his sons. "Why are you not dressed up?" She questions as she raises her grey eyebrow. Felix's head tilted to the side and he looked at what he was wearing; what he wore to sleep. "I was...going to stay home with Michi and Ryu," Felix explained and all three of them shook their heads. "la signora Mazza, said you go have a fun day," Michi said and Ryu nodded his head in agreement. "Fun day?" Felix says as he looks at Mrs. Mazza. "Yes, now go get dressed and go out on the town," She said and motioned for the kids to go back to their pillows for more stories.

Felix felt excitement run through his body but he didn't move. "Are you sure?" Felix asks and Mrs. Mazza slowly looks at him. "Yes, now go," She said and made a shooing motion with her hand. Felix hesitated but carefully walked back up the stairs to get changed. It took him a while to get dressed as he kept getting distracted, but he eventually got dressed; black, high-waisted pants, a cropped sweater, and white socks. He kept adjusting his outfit until he finally told himself to stop.

He walked down the stairs and caught the twins' attention. "Pretty papa!" They shouted and ran over. Felix smiles and kneels down. "Thank you," Felix said in a soft voice and gently kissed the top of their head. "Now, let your papa go be an adult," Mrs. Mazza said and the two nodded their heads. They gave their strongest squeeze before moving away from the adult.

As Felix stepped outside, he was met with cool air which made him smile. He closed the door and started his way towards the town and was greeted by many teenagers and kids; mostly teenage girls who screamed out of joy which embarrassed Felix a lot.

As he got closer to the edge of the neighborhood, he started to think about things to do; which were very parent-like. He paused his walking as a frown came to his lips as he attempted to think about things to do. "I'll just walk around town until I find something interesting," He mumbles to himself and nods his head in agreement with his statement. 'But first,' he thought as he started walking again, 'food.'
