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.]

[He'll ask the boys what they want, then. The thought of them does leave him frowning a little.]

I hate lying to them, but I feel it might be for the better at the moment.

[Something he decides to say. Ai already knows just how much he and Yuuki dislike keeping being vampires from them, but at the same time. . ]

I'm sure there will still be plenty for her. Set the oven to warm so we can put some aside.

[A bit of a frown.]

I had only really known of her parents' names, along with what they had done. Mostly just out of information that the Association had. Although I've know things here and there from Yuuki, herself. I'm not sure just how much she'll tell him, though. Plenty of it is still difficult for her to talk about.

[But Ai knows that very well.]

[At this line of conversation, Ai does stare into her drink. It isn't right to lie to them.]

Do you think it would be better for someone else to look after them? It could be extremely damaging to have them start trusting you and then they find out you've been lying the whole time.

[They're already so vulnerable. Given time they'll get strong again but will it be enough to overcome that the first people they've bonded to have been lying to them from the start?

A nod of her head as she does to do as he instructs.]

Mother's told me about them. Not as much as she does with father but understandably so as her time with them was considerably shorter. She seems happy to have ojiisan here, though. I can help her talk to him about the more difficult subjects.

[Haruka has already asked her where Kaname was.]

I already want to just tell them. I know all of that. [Maybe even too well. If there was a way to go about it. . .] They don't deserve this. They don't deserve any of what we've already learned about them.

[There's a "but" hanging in the air after that. Zero did overhear more than of what Mika and Yuu were talking about. . . more than he'd let on. His hand tightens a little around the handle of the coffeepot.]

Is there anyone you would suggest? Or that you know of?

[A small nod to the comments about Haruka and Yuuki.]

I'm wary about what I should tell him when he does ask me. I don't think he even knows exactly about his death, or what Juri did in the end. So. . . trying to explain how I fit in with all of this- with Yuuki's life. . . I'm not sure exactly how I want to go about it. In regards to your father, as well.
