"(y/n), wake up." Francis whispered, gently patting your head and back. At his insistence you had slept in his bed again, but you kept your distance after the thunderstorm. The male scooped up your still-sleeping form and cuddled you to him as you slowly woke up, your (e/c) eyes staring up at him incoherently. When you realized where you were you wiggled out of his arms and padded to the other side of the bed while he frowned. "Come back." He pouted, holding out his arms. You stared at him without a sound, and he let his arms drop. "Fine. Hungry?" He asked with the overemphasized enthusiasm he always did. You snorted and nodded before leaping off the bed and walking out of the room, him close behind. As you took one step down the stairs, Francis bent down and gently picked you up. "You're too small to go down the stairs." He smiled, hugging you to him while you glared at nothing.

Once in the kitchen, Francis set you on the counter and opened the cupboard that he kept the canned food he despised. As he got out a plate, he suddenly looked to you with a smirk and did a dramatic spin. "Be, our, guest!" He sang, making a show of setting the plate in front of you, "Be our guest! Put our service to the test!"

You snorted and gave him an unamused look as he opened the can."Tie your napkin 'round your neck cherie, And we'll provide the rest! Soup du jour, Hot hors d'oeuvres, Why we, only live to serve!" He continued to sing, dumping the contents of the can onto the plate,"Try the gray stuff, It's delicious! Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!

"Come on and lift your glass, You've won your own free pass to be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!" Francis finished with another spin. You stared him in the eye as he posed, waiting for your reaction. After a brief staring contest you simply turned to your food and took a small bite.

France: She wasn't amused by my performance of Be Our Guest :(

He sent a photo of you eating your breakfast contently.

Arthur: I don't see why she wouldn't be. That sounds hilarious.

~~~~~~~~~~

Alfred: How's (y/n)?

Francis: I sang Be Our Guest for her when I gave her breakfast

Alfred: Oh my god

Francis: And she didn't even care :((

Alfred: How dare she

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michelle: Are we still up for movie night tonight? Lovi and Herc are wondering if Kiku and Feli can come btw

Francis gazed at his phone in mild horror. He had forgotten all about his movie night he was hosting that evening. You looked to him with concern from where you sat beside him on his couch. The male glanced to you, and you mewed quietly and tilted your head in question. "I completely forgot some people are coming over to watch movies today." He said. You tilted your head the other way and mewed again. "Nobody you'd know, I don't think. We gotta go get snacks soon."

Francis: Yeah, of course they can come!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In the cart with you." Francis smiled as he grabbed a shopping cart that sat in the middle of the parking space beside the car. He placed you in the child seat and hummed as he pushed the cart through the automatic doors of the grocery store. You put your paws on the edge of the cart and looked out to the shelves of produce as they passed, and Francis chuckled at your curious expression. "You can hide in my room if you don't want to be fussed over at the party." He said as he grabbed a few bags of chips and tossed them into the metal cart.

"Mama, a kitty!" a little girl exclaimed from a few yards away. Francis looked over to find the source of the noise running over, a tired looking woman close behind. "can I pet your kitty, mister?" the small child asked, pointing her chubby finger at you, who was looking from the child seat of the cart with interest. Francis looked back to you curiously. You nodded your head, and he smiled. "Of course!" He said cheerily, scooping you up out of the cart and crouching down the the little girl's level. She reached out her hand and patted your head, and to play it up you nuzzled her palm to make her grin.

"Say thank you." The woman, who you assumed was her mother, sighed as she took her daughters other hand. "Thank you! Bye bye kitty!" The small girl waved as she walked away with her mother. Francis stood up straight and set you back in the child seat of the cart. "That was nice." he smiled at you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Francis set you on the floor as he carried the groceries inside his house. "they'll be here any min-" he began, but the doorbell ringing cut him off. You scrambled down the hallway and made a jump for the first step on the staircase as Francis set down the groceries and opened the door. "Hey! Sorry we're a little early!" Someone said cheerily. "Oh, its no problem! Come on in!" Francis exclaimed while you focused on getting your tiny body up one step at a time. With your determination, you had made it about a third of the way up before you heard a large number of feet shuffle through the door. To your horror somebody uncomfortably near to you gasped.

"Who is this?" A light brown haired male said excitedly as you turned around and looked at him from the stairs. He reached out and gently grabbed you as Francis raced up. "Oh, yes. That's, uh, (y/n). Im watching her for a friend who's moving houses." He said nervously as the male cuddled you to him. "She's the cutest! Romano, look!" the male said, holding you out to a dark haired man beside him. Romano gently took you from the brunette and held you away from him. "Someone take this." he said, and a muscular male a few feet away dashed towards Romano. "Here, Herc." The Italian said, thrusting you at Hercules.

Hercules, to your surprise, gently cradled you in his arm, a goofy grin on his face. "So cute." he muttered. "Alright, movie time!" Francis said cheerily, ushering the group to his living room. Hercules sat down on the couch without taking his eyes off you, and the cheery brunette from before along with a dark haired female you didn't recognize sat on either side. Accepting that there was no escape at this point, you nuzzled Hercules's hand and decided that if you couldnt escape, you might as well be cute. The tall man gasped, his face lighting up.

"Alright, alright, she's cute. She already knows." Francis grinned, "What do you guys wanna watch?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Francis: She didnt get up the stairs fast enough

He sent a photo he took of Hercules with you in his arms, with Feliciano and Michelle grinning on either side.

Arthur: Oh god. Is she having fun?

Francis: I think shes digging all this attention

Arthur: Of course she is, ha.

Sorry for any errors, I wrote most of this on my phone.
