Day 390 | Closed to the Kuran Apartment and Neighbors
[Closed to Haruka]

[To be honest, Yuuki slept soundly the entire night through. Probably for the first time in a long time. The day before had something to do with it. Her emotions had been so raw, and by the evening they had worn her out, probably long before her father had felt sleep tug at him. For him, sleeping through the night had probably been strange. But hopefully, after a day of staying awake, the sands of sleep weighed down his eyelids too as he drifted off.

But it's no surprise that as the sun peaks through her drawn blinds, Yuuki's eyes pop open, and once awake, she can't go back to sleep. So instead, she studies the face of her father as he sleeps peacefully. The smooth, beautiful features, eternally young, like a flower forever in bloom even three thousand years later. His appearance is so strikingly similar to that person. To Kaname. The urge to reach out and touch him is strong, but she doesn't. It isn't her brother. It's her father, who loves and even died for her, and she will forever love him as only a daughter can.

Her patience though can barely wait for him to stir. His anklet should have fallen off during sleep, though she doesn't disturb the blankets to check. Instead, she slides off the side of the bed and onto her knees, and props her chin atop her hands upon the mattress and waits. And waits. It's only now, with the monitor off, that she knows he'll get the full confirmation that he needs and wants. That she is truly his daughter.

And so she can wait expectantly.

But if it should take too long, it's really no surprise if she just... happens to reach out and tickle his nose, before her hands disappear quickly, back beneath her chin.

Good morning...]

[Cooking Breakfast]

[The house has expanded, but it's nothing she can't handle! Apron in place, she has one hand on her hip and a mixing spoon in hand as she faces off with the stove top. Now that her father and daughter are here, plus Zero, it's a full house. And she figures that while he usually does most the cooking in the morning, she can do her part too. Especially because, whether desired or not, the two children next door are over for breakfast too. Both should definitely feel as though they're just an extension to the family.]

All right...! It'll be pancakes, eggs, and cut fruit for everyone!

[But maybe someone should help her as she burns through her second batch of pancakes.]

[Breakfast]

[Everyone is gathered to the table, and okay this is fun...!]

Everyone dig in! [Half the food has been cooked by her. And the other half is whatever someone managed to rescue from her. But she's sure everyone will enjoy the pancake shapes and faces she made. Like Ai's pancake. Everyone is free to stare uncertainly at their food (rude), make awkward small talk, or maybe suggest a game to get to know one another.]

[Wildcard

[Maybe everyone leaves to go shopping? Want to interact one-on-one with someone, or something different? Do whatever you like, it's an apartment mingle.]

Am I? [It's said idly without the need for a response. It's probably due to their new housemate. Seeing him again is an impossibility, and something she can't afford to take for granted for even one day.

In response to her question though, she simply smiles again and shakes her head.]

No, that's okay. I'd rather just do it together with you. [A mother and daughter activity.] Besides, it will be a fun surprise for the others, right?

[Making a special breakfast for everyone. Especially when Zero normally gets stuck with the cooking.] I want to make enough for the children next door, too. [She plans to go and check on them shortly.]

I think Otousama is doing all right, though. AH- Well, like you said, Ojiisan between us I suppose. [She nods a little, while cracking another egg.] He was sort of overwhelmed and doubtful about various things the day before... [Ai can probably guess over what.] But I think it's been cleared up now.

Mmhmm. [An idle sound as she ties on her apron before moving to wash her hands. For Ai he's another family member who doesn't know her but it doesn't upset her like it had with Yuuki or Zero. Haruka Kuran has been dead for years before Ai was born and so the only memories she has of him will only ever come from other people. And this world now.

So it was never something Ai thought could happen and therefore is not upset that he doesn't know her.]

Alright. I suppose we'd better make a lot of pancakes, then. Along with a variety of eggs. [While Ai knows what kind of eggs her mother and Zero like, she can't say the same for her grandfather or the children next door.] Maybe some scrambled, omlets and over-easy eggs.

[A nod of her head as she grabs a big bowl to mix the ingredients for the pancakes and begins to mix in some of the items her mother has already gathered in preparation of this meal.]

That's good. He seemed disappointed that obaasan wasn't here. [Ai knows how her mother was sad that father wasn't around - it's probably the same for Haruka as well.] Will our family ever not have an overwhelming day when another one of us appears?

[So many different kinds of eggs... She's decent for scrambled, although sometimes when she tries to do over easy she cooks the yolk too much.]

I guess we should start with scrambled then... [It'll be the easiest to cover and keep warm, too. Pulling a step stool over with a foot she climbs up to reach down another bowl, but laughs in a touch of amusement as she listens to Ai.]

You'll find that your grandfather only ever talks about your grandmother. He's got a one track mind. [But despite saying that she seems fond.] They always seemed entirely in love and really happy together. I wanted to be just like them when I was little.

[Carefully stepping back down she hum thoughtfully while gathering her supplies together.]

How would it be if everyone else showed up, though...? [It would be an emotional roller coaster no matter what, huh.] Probably not. But I'd be happy to see Mother again. And of course... [ . . . Kaname. Desperately she wants to see him again, but she hardly knows what would happen if he were to appear.]

If that person arrives, I'm going to...talk to him about a number of things.[Possibly aggressively. Of the choice he made. And of leaving her pregnant, and a daughter without her father. But she doesn't want to linger on Kaname too long. And she doesn't want to speak poorly or in frustration over him to Ai, either.]

. . . Anyone else, if you see them, please stay away and just get me or your grandfather. In the past, your Great Uncle appeared in this place, and I... just don't want to risk anything.

[If mother has too much trouble with the over easy ones, Ai will take care of those. And omlets aren't too different from scrambled so they shouldn't be too terrible.]

You could try adding a bit of ham and cheese to the scrambled eggs if you'd like to add a little something extra. [A bit of something good inside relatively plain eggs. As Ai starts mixing ingrendients, she reaches over to turn one of the burners on - drops a little butter inside the pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking and give it time to melt.]

I don't mind. He can tell us all kinds of stories about obaasan when she was younger. [Ai actually does seem genuinely interested in learning about her grandparents.] Any girl would probably want to be just like them.

[There isn't anyone Ai loves (that she's willing to talk about) but if she had one, she would want to be like her grandparents.]

It isn't as if there are a lot more family members that we know about. [Father, obaasan, Great Uncle Rido, Senri... most of that list she isn't extremely worried about. If Senri did appear, Ai would have to be careful to make sure that it was her cousin and not Great Uncle in his body.]

Hm, if you yell at father, can I watch? [Is it strange that she wants to watch her parents argue? Really Ai just wants to watch them in general. To see them together with her own eyes and not through the memories of others or while father was so... lifeless.]

I know, mother. Not everyone from home should be trusted. I will do my best to stay away from anyone who may not be our friends or allies. [Even if they are their friends now she knows they might be from a time when they weren't.]

[Glancing at her daughter, Yuuki gives a small, weak laugh.] I don't think parents are supposed to let their children watch them fight... [Ai, what are you asking her to do? If anything, she hopes that despite everything that has happened, that she has a good impression of Kaname. And she doesn't want that to change, either.

Maybe no one else is on his side. But no matter what has happened, and even in spite of it all, she still loves him. Even if it's an impossible love, no matter how she looks at it.

Turning to her work at the table, she stares quietly into the egg mixture.]

When I see him again, I'm going to gloat. [After a moment, a soft smile touches her eyes.] 'Look,' I'll tell him- [She says, while glancing back to Ai. Pulling a hair tie off of her wrist she moves around her to gather up some of her daughter's medium length, beautiful wavy hair, and begins to pull it into a ponytail.] 'Look at this beautiful girl that I've had all to myself. Aren't you jealous?' And he surely will be, because your father is the jealous sort.

[Once it's up and she's content with it, she moves back around front and grabs a beater. She waves it in the air as if making a point.]

I bet everyone is, because no one else gets to experience having someone as uniquely special as Ai-chan. And maybe I don't want to share, either!
