The Empress and The Titan (KnB fanfic • Murasakibara x OC)

Atsushi POV

The next morning, I was all alone staring out at the window.

It was a bit cloudy but the storm has passed. I wonder how thick the snow on the ground is.

I wanna go find Midochin but it's so cozy here. I'll sleep in some more...

.

Then I smelt something good coming from downstairs. It made my stomach rumble. They must be cooking breakfast already. I better go down now...

I wiped the sand in my eyes away while I went down their grand staircase. Then I just followed the smell.

Akachin and Midochin were already having coffee while the stove was still burning.

Akachin just looked at me with a slight smile.

"You guys are pretty early..." I yawned.

"I always am. Waking up late is something counter productive." Midochin replied sternly.

I took a seat beside Midochin and Akachin gave me a cup to pour some coffee in.

"How was your sleep?" Akachin asked.

"I wanted to sleep some more. The weather makes me wanna curl up in bed." I answered with my hand under my chin.

"Yes, seems so." He nodded," Atsushi you know how to cook right?" Akachin asked.

"Sorta."

"Shintaro and I decided to have something sweet for breakfast."

"Like pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream?" I guessed

"Where the hell do you find strawberries in this season?!" Midochin growled.

"How about some waffles and chocolate sauce? The pancakes could work but no strawberries. Then some nice cheese omelets to even our the sweetness? What do you think?" Akachin suggested.

"Um." I nodded, "sounds great, Akachin."

"Do you always prepare so much for one meal?" Midochin asked.

"Yes. It's great to have a variety."

Then we got to it. We were mixing batters, taking out the ingredients and portioning all of it evenly.

Once I got pancakes in the pan, Akachin watched me with killer eyes.

"You're doing a great job with those pancakes, Murasaki. Just how Miyuki likes them. Pancakes are her favorite." He complimented.

"Really?"

"Yeah. She likes drowning her pancakes in maple syrup, you know, when they get all soggy." He told me.

"Yukichin does look like she likes to eat..." I thought out loud.

"She does. But only when she's eating her favorites."

"Like?"

"Pancakes. She also likes donuts but only a particular kind, cereal with milk, maki, fried chicken..." No wonder why she's a bit on the chubby side.

"Really, talking about me early in the morning?" She scoffed behind us with her arms crossed and raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, you're awake Yukichin, ohayo." I greeted. She was in her honey colored pajamas with a fluffy bear design. Her hair was puffed out like bed hair but combed.

"Is it wrong for me to tell him what food you like?" Akachin asked her.

"Yes, brother. You make it sound like I'm a glut." She groaned.

"But I thought that was one of the things you had in common that's why you two are such good friends." Akachin thought of a silly conclusion.

"It's not." She groaned some more, face palming herself.

"It really isn't. Yukichin doesn't eat a lot at school." I backed her up on that one. I guess they can be normal siblings after all.

"Have you seen our bento?" Akachin asked me.

"Yes. It's really delicious." I nodded.

"The portions on that bento is healthy." She sighed in defense.

"Where are the others?" Midochin asked her to change the topic.

"Momoi's on her way down. She's just combing her hair." she replied.

"I'll go check on the other two." Midochin said as he washed his hands before leaving.

"Mukkun! ohayo!" momochin greeted me.

"Ohayo." I greeted.

"I saw your gift! It's so nice!" Sachin said.

"What gift?"

"The gift you gave Yuki chan for Christmas."

I looked at Yukichin and her eyes were lowered, looking at mine. "Oh yes, Thank you Atsushi, for the shoes..." She said in a soft tone.

"No problem." I smiled. Yukichin looked almost shy. "We're cooking pancakes, Yukichin. How many do you want?" i grinned.

"Keep that up and I won't eat til you guys leave." she threatened when she looked away.

I laughed, "I'm making them special because I want you to eat up. I'll stack four up just for you."

"Four?? are you nuts?? look at the pancakes you're making! they're so thick!" She complained while pointing at the pancake. She completely changed her mood at a drop of a hat.

When I finished what I was doing, I sat beside her. i had a stack if five and I gave her three so she doesn't complain. I also brought the maple syrup onto the table, "want me to squeeze it for you?" i grinned and she punched me.

"I'm throwing the running shoes you gave me." She said grimly.

"Don't..." I frowned, "I spent my savings on those shoes..." I really did, but not all of it. Those shoes were on sale. i'll just buy myself a new pair next time.
