When the cousins and Marianna pulled up to the Tsukasa family home the two boys were pleasantly surprised. It wasn't an overly large mansion but a decent sized house for the family of 3. Marianna pulled a set of keys from her bag and unlocked the door. "Welcome to mi casa." Marianna giggled, removing her shoes and putting them to the side. She placed a cute pair of duck slippers on her feet and stepped into the home.
Quack.
"The extra slippers are in the closet down the hall, I'll get them so please wait here." She turned and walked off, leaving a trail of quacks at her feet. The two boys glanced at each other and smiled, honey giggling cutely.
The sound of quacking reappeared as Marianna made her way back to the boys, two pairs of slippers in hand.
"I kind of just took a guess on your sizes, I hope they're accurate."
The two boys said their thanks and removed their shoes before slipping into the slippers. The sizes were surprisingly accurate and after nodding their thanks, stepped into the home. From the front entrance was a hallway a little off to the side with three doors on the end of it. To the right was the sitting area, a large sofa and coffee table paired with a rather large entertainment center. To the left, just beside the hallway, was a large kitchen.
"Your house is pretty, Mari-chan!" Honey ran over to the wide selection of movies and dvds on the bookshelf beside the loveseat. "You have a lot of dvd's!"
Marianna laughed, "Yeah. My mom and I are pretty big on movies. We found it hard to go to the theatre back home so we always bought the disks second hand. That's where a lot of the movies are from."
"You have the entire Jurrassic Park selection!" He pointed out excitedly.
Marianna nodded, her eyes wandering over to Mori as he glanced over the pictures on the wall to the hallway. They were all still in their swimsuits. "We can watch it later if you want. Right now I think it's best we get out of our swimsuits."
Marianna walked over to where Mori was, a hand hesitantly resting on his back, "If you follow me I can give you both changes of clothes."
The two boys nodded and followed along after their friend, coming across a door that was disguised to match the wall. Pulling it to the side, Marianna revealed a set of stairs. She casually walked up the secret stairwell, leaving the boys to glance at each other.

When they reached the end of the short staircase, Marianna pushed open a trap door of sorts. She hoisted herself up and sat off to side, helping pull Honey through and then moving to side as Mori pulled himself through as well. "Welcome to my room." Marianna said awkwardly. Her eyes watching the boys as they glanced around.

The room was bright. The walls painted a pastel yellow with dark oak accents. It was the opposite of what Mori and Honey expected. As the boys took in the room, Marianna moved across to a small vanity dresser. She pulled a few drawers open and removed a few items before putting everything back in place. "I have a few of my father's things. They seem like they'd fit you the best Mori. You can change in the bathroom." Marianna pointed to a small bathroom off to the side waiting until the lock clicked into place before turning to Honey with an excited grin.
"I ordered some onesies from a foreign shop online and they came in a little small. Would you like to try them on?"
Honey gleamed, his eyes shining with stars and hearts falling around him. With a smile, the girl turned and pulled the onesie from an opened package beside her bed. It was a cute polar bear design with a hood. Honey loved it.
The door to the bathroom clicked open and Mori stepped out in basketball shorts and a tank top. The shorts seemed a bit short but the top fit fine, apparently. Giggling slightly, Honey ran into the bathroom after Mori and shut the door, quite loudly. Marianna giggled and turned back to Mori with a smile. The two didn't say anything, not even when Mori moved to sit down beside her. They simply sat in silence, waiting for Honey to emerge from the bathroom. As soon as he did, Mori chuckled and swept him up, ruffling his hair affectionately. Marianna grabbed a few clothes for her as well and moved to the bathroom, shutting it silently and carefully. She pulled on a rather large shirt and a pair of sweatpants before emerging and ushering the boys downstairs into the kitchen.
Pulling tubs of ice cream from the box freezer and three large bowls from a cupboard, Marianna smiled at the boys sitting on the breakfast bar. "What I'm about to show you is the best game to ever be invented." Honey sat excitedly and Mori perched with a mild interest. "Hidden in this kitchen is every single sundae topping known to man and the person to find the most within the allotted time is the winner. My butler comes in every few days to hide everything and it just so happens that yesterday was his designated switch day."
Marianna went on to explain the rules in depth to a very excited Honey, Mori tuning out as he examined her.
Her silver hair was pulled back into a small half bun. Her bangs pinned back on her head and her face void of makeup. Her skin was much more tan than what Mori initially thought and he found himself liking that. Her Make up did a good job of concealing the bags that hung heavily under her eyes and the moles scattered across her face. Mori watched as Marianna pulled out her phone and set a timer for one minute. "On your mark, get set, go!"
The two smallest bolted and ran around the kitchen, opening and closing pantry doors and placing things on the counter every once and a while.
"Time." Mori called out, his eyes shining with mirth as he eyed the items placed on the table. Marianna laughed as she eyed the plethora of items Honey pulled from the shelves. Caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, cherries, nuts, marshmallows, and plenty of other delicious toppings.
"Good job, Honey!"
"What's my prize?" He asked excitedly.

Marianna laughed, "You get first movies pick and to make your sundae first. " Another round of cheers and the three set to work on making their sundaes before settling in front of the tv and watching as the beginning to Jurrassic Park played.
It was hours later when Marianna opened her eyes again. The tv was still on although the volume was now low. Honey was curled on the loveseat and Marianna was laying over Mori's chest. Looking up, Mori caught her eyes and smiled softly. "You fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you." Sitting up, Marianna jolted when Mori did. Her eyes darted to Mori where a large blush settled across his ears and his eyes darted everywhere. "That tickled." Marianna giggled and kissed his cheeks before standing up, "sorry."

She moved down the hall to door at the end and pulled out a pillow, a thin blanket, and a slightly thicker one along with one more pillow. She moved back to the living room and plopped the items down on the coffee table before pulling the pillow under Honey's head and the thin sheet over his small body. Turning around she picked up the sticky bowls and placed them in the sink before returning and tossing the pillow to Mori. The tall boy caught it with a roll of his eyes and tucked it underneath his head, watching hesitantly as Marianna unfolded the blanket and threw one leg over Mori, the blanket over her shoulders. She settled herself at Mori's side and laid down, her head resting on his chest, her head turned towards the tv. Mori looked down at her and an idea came across his mind. He likes her, that much is true.
Looking back, it could have been the fact that it was 3 in the morning or it could have been his bodies response to her in general but when he tilted her chin up to his and pushed his lips against hers, the reason behind it didn't matter. He just knew that he was kissing her and he enjoyed kissing her. Mori turned under the blanket, Marianna now under him. The two remained kissing for a while, in the dead of night with dinosaurs roaring silently in the background.
