"I just... I..I...I can't stand you!" Natsuki screamed and Yuri recoiled as if slapped before her expression hardened.
"Fine then perhaps it would benefit you if we broke up." Yuri snapped.
"Maybe it would." Natsuki retorted without thinking...

No One's POV:
Natsuki groaned at the sound of a bang coming from the kitchen. She glared at the clock on the DVD player. 6:30 a.m.! Were these people insane?! She frowned sitting up, wait wasn't she in the attic for this very reason, so she wouldn't be woken up early? Then she groaned for an entirely different reason.
Yuri had come upstairs and cared enough that when Benny had told her how cold she was she had given up her bed to bunk with a toddler and hormonal teenager. Another bang sounded and she listened to the voices.
Unbelievable was all Natsuki could think as she stood throwing the blankets off, she was still slightly chilled from her chilly night in the attic. Moodily she made her way towards the kitchen, her interest had been peaked at the mention of cupcakes.
Her eyes instantly widened at the sight of the wrecked kitchen. Slops of some sort of green sticky substance splatted against the counters, stove, floor and sink. Bowls upon bowls of messy mixing cluttered every surface.
"What the hell?" She whispered softly and the twins, who were sitting in the middle of the catastrophic mess that was the kitchen. "Hi Aunt Natsuki!" Benny exclaimed merrily and Denny waved enthusiastically as he stirred something in a large bowl.
"What is all this?" Natsuki questioned curiously and they both beamed proudly. "We're making cupcakes to cheer up mama!" Benny exclaimed as Natsuki came and stood over their shoulder to look into the bowl. She gagged in disgust as she wrinkled her nose.
"What is that because that is not cupcakes! That green concoction of horror is not cupcakes!" She exclaimed as the "batter" sizzled and popped. "What's in that?" She demanded and Denny frowned.
"Um... Gummy bears, fruit loops, oatmeal, hot water, sugar, chocolate milk, pudding, chocolate chips, flour, gummy worms, mommy's kale smoothy..." He stopped as Natsuki waved her hands in disbelief. "You can't call these monstrosities cupcakes! Most of that stuff does not belong in cupcakes!" She exasperated and Benny smiled widely.
"Do you know how to make cupcakes?" Benny asked curiously and Natsuki snorted in amusement. "Do I know how to make cupcakes? Please little boy I've been making cupcakes since I was in diapers, now stand back lemme show ya amateurs how it's done!" She exclaimed cockily as she tied her hair back with a red ribbon on her wrist.
I was sore, the toddler had kicked my back all night. I don't know why I forfeited my bed to Natsuki last night...maybe it was because seeing her lying there in pain it just sparked something inside of me, something I thought had died long ago.
