He walks into the kitchen, stepping very carefully around Robin who was busy cleaning up the floor. Harry stopped to ask what he'd like for lunch. Meanwhile, Y/N slipped back into their thoughts; one pressed against their mind, like it was being branded on with a pair of burning tongs.

'What does Roy even want from us?'
______________

Lunch has been over for a while now, and much to Y/N's displeasure, they didn't have much else on their mind to do.

They sat at the kitchen table, alone, with their bear. The toy sat on the flat surface in front of them as they laid their head in their arms, bored as ever.

Doi entered the kitchen, also seemingly bored. He grabbed one of the three other chairs, sitting next to the other kid in the room, and mimicked their pose, laying his head in his arms like his bestest sibling friend.

"Bored?" Doi asked.

Y/N nodded, which Doi reciprocated.

"Same here."

A silence filled the gap in conversation, as the two wracked their minds for something interesting to do.

The TV was only playing reruns of the one interesting show on air, so that was out of the question.

Maybe they could stack stones again? Build something different? Oh wait, no; Robin was worried that Shrignold might come back, so he told the two to lay low for a while and stay inside.

Maybe they could draw? Or paint? Oh, but they weren't feeling very creative right now. Burnt out, maybe? Whatever, they could be creative another day.

What other options did they have? They wanted to do something. Maybe cause some mischief if that was what was needed to have fun...

Wait...

Y/N turned, eyeing something in the kitchen.

Bingo.

On top of one of the cabinets, just in view, sat a bag of chips. Y/N looks to Doi, who also shared the same mischievous glare. With small grins, they silently snuck over to the cabinet.

As they'd already done about a million times before, Y/N scaled the counter, and Doi carefully hoisted the smaller child onto his shoulders. Y/N held their hand up, cautiously feeling around on the top of the cabinet, hoping to touch a familiar plastic bag without making too much noise.

A bag touched their fingertips and they grinned. They got it. Carefully coaxing the bag into their hands by wiggling their fingers, they began the perilous journey of pulling it off the cabinet top.

While trying to minimize noise, the child forgot to hold onto something else for stability, and began to slip backwards. Their eyes widen, as do Doi's, as he realizes what is happening. He tries to help them regain their balance, but it was far too late at that point.

A yelp escapes Y/N's mouth as they fall, shutting their eyes on instinct, bracing for impact with the floor...

Which never came.

They slowly opened their eyes, just as they were helped to stand by... another kid? And another kid? Y/N assumed they were siblings or something, but had something else on their mind now. And that something else was headed to the kitchen right about...

"Y/N! Doi! Are you two okay?"

... now.

Robin ran into the kitchen, with Harry not too far behind. Robin opens his mouth to speak, but is stopped in surprise at the two new kids in the kitchen. Harry, too, seemed puzzled, but stayed quiet.
