Amari placed a hot pocket in the microwave and opened her fridge to find some go gurt for Megumi.

"See, look at all the time you have now that you did your homework and didn't procrastinate."

"Why'd you make such a big deal about it?"

"I just wanted to see you before you went to school. That's it."

*ring*

"Someone's at the door Amari."

"Toji can go away, I don't want to see him right now."

*ring*

"GO AWAY!" She picked up a plate to start making herself breakfast.

*ring ring ring ring ring*

"Oh my gosh." Amari marched to the door and swung it open. "I SAID-

"Damn, you want me gone that bad babe?"

*CRASH*

The plate shattered into pieces on the floor as Megumi just facepalmed and rolled his eyes.

"G- Gojo?"

"You look surprised to see me. Did Megumi not tell you I was coming?"

"MEGUMI YOU KNEW!?"

"Yea I did and I didn't tell you because I know how you are. I'm not cleaning up that mess."

"Anyways, I don't know why you call me Gojo. You know you can call me Satoru right sweetheart?"

"I- uhm...I just do it out of respect."

"It's alright, we've known each other long enough. You can call me by my first name." He walked past Amari and approached Megumi.

"How's your old man doing?"

"He's fine, he just got a job."

"HE DID?! WHERE? IS HE A PIMP?! I'll show him! How dare he? Take up a job like that? I'm gonna talk some sense into him."

"Gojo, he works at an arcade. He's actually doing a good job, most of his jobs he gets fired from within the first week."

"Oh I know full well that Toji can barely keep a job. Me on the other hand am the CEO of my own business, I got that moolah."

"Why do you miss your child support bills all the time then?"

"Whaaat? That's not true!"

"My dad was eating plastic chicken last night...PLASTIC! CHICKEN!"

"He'll be fine. I know Amari takes good care of you so that's why she gets most of my money."

"Oh that reminds me, I was wondering if I could get a raise please Satoru? I just feel like-

"Oh yea sure."

"You didn't even let me finish."

"You don't need to. I'd be willing to give you a raise any time you wanted. You know that but you still ask."

"Well I don't want to sound greedy or anything."

He then took Amari's hand and intertwined their fingers. "Amari, I know you are truly a great person. You are so kind and caring and you always do your best. If I weren't so busy with my business and if I wasn't so busy for a relationship, I'd marry you at the drop of a hat. I would gladly give you a job as my secretary. You do such a good job wi-

Megumi gulped down his drink and then turned back to face Gojo and his baby sitter. "Amari?"

*THUD*
