You grumbled curses at the man, as you made your way back to the house, with a face that made it clear you did not want to be talked to.

As you passed by the dining table, your father spoke:

"Ah (N/n), join us." He said, in his kind tone.

Your face softened a little.

On the table were your father, mother, Naobito and... Megumi? Having their breakfasts.

Megumi looked like he just wanted to finish his food and escape being near these people who clearly weren't talking about anything that would even moderately peak his interest.

When you appeared, his eyes glimmered with hope. Hope of not having to be stuck in a table with old people all by himself.

Now you couldn't just destroy that, so you decided to join them.

His eyebrows were raised up, with his mouth in a pout, and the slightest of blushes on his cheeks.

His mouth curled up a little when he saw you walking towards the seat beside him.

You took a seat, and shot him a smile.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" Your mother asked.

"Already did. With Ayame." You said.

She nodded, and got back to her conversation with the other two men.

"To discuss some important..." Your father began, which you didn't even try to comprehend, you already had other things to worry about.

"Where were you last night? We had a campfire and stuff." You muttered to the sea urchin beside you.

"It was past my bedtime, I was asleep." He said, after gulping his food down.

"Ehh... Really? You're such an obidient kid, urchin-kun." You praised, ruffling his spiky hair.

"My dad doesn't think so." He said, as he shook your hand off've his hair.

"Your dad is a stupid jerk." You huffed out, the scowl coming back to your face.

You realised that this was his father you were talking about, and as you were going to take your words back, you saw him giving you a curious look.

Now while this child look like an emo, one thing that did, and never failed to peak this his interest was drama.

And he sensed some right over here.
