"I'm just so tired of ungrateful bigots coming in-and-out of my life." I say aloud as Kenji fed his twins, Alaric still passed out from yesterday.

"You know, I can't say I'm surprised though. Sorrel isn't mad at Gideon, and he is definitely over the fact that he can never have Gideon. I think it's just his dislike towards you that's fueling him on." Kenji says honestly, and Sana starts to whine as she kept reading for the oatmeal on her spoon; but of course Kenji was teasing her.

"Papa what are bigots?" Titan asked me curiously, and I chuckle awkwardly as Jun started to enter the kitchen.

"Oh...it's not important-."

"Titan what are bigots?" He asked him now, and Jun looked entertained as he took the rest of the bacon from the plate. Completely not being mindful of others.

He avoided looking at me, but he did sit beside Titan and grin at him.

"Bigots are people who have no tolerance towards other peoples opinions and or beliefs. Basically dumb people - why?" He tells him only to ask him a question, and Titan looked at me. I hoped he'd just start eating his oatmeal again because I didn't want him to give away that I was talking about Sorrel.

"Secret." He giggled, beginning to eat again and I had to stop myself from sighing in relief. Jun looked annoyed by that, but he did finally look at me again.

It was awkward because all we could hear was Kenji talking to his kids, while Titan ate and I held Nolan while I gave her milk. Jun just ate bacon in my face as if he was doing something. I wasn't one for bacon anyway...I like it slightly burnt.

"My dad wanted me to apologize to you." He ended up saying, and my eyebrows raised in shock. I couldn't help it... "Oh, so you don't think I'd man up and do so?"

"No - no... You don't have to apologize to me-."

"Good. I did want to apologize for one thing." He slammed his hand on the table, Titan looking in shock. "I forgot that you did bring me to my parents...if it wasn't for you, I'd probably still be alone. So, it was my bad. That's all I'm apologizing for."

I chuckle, being able to accept that as I nod.

"It's okay. It's not me you should be apologizing too though, I'd say your dad deserves one more." I say truthfully, and he snorted.

"Now that's too hard. I...I meant what I said to him - I told him how I felt. I can't apologize because than I'd be lying to my sensibility. I already told my mom how I felt in Japan before I came here...now that I'm seeing my dad all the anger is resurfacing." He confesses to me to my surprise.

I saw Titan start to listen and I became nervous.

"Jun I think you and your dad need a day together." Kenji says suddenly, and I flinch. I see Jun's expression light up, but he tried to hide his feelings fast.

"Li-like my dad would want to do that." Jun mumbled under his breath, and I saw Titan light up.

"I go too?!" He asked me, and I shook my head. "But why...?"

"Because it's just for your dad and Jun." I tell him gently, and I saw his eyes become sad. I felt bad because he didn't really understand...

"Wait it's not like it's going to happen. This was just said on a whim. Our dad would never." Jun snorted, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe it. "He loves you way more Titan."

"No...he love you too." Titan murmurs, causing Jun to grin as he leaned back in his seat. "Where daddy, papa?"

"I assume he's still sleeping." I just assume, only for Gideon to shuffle into the kitchen.
