Kendo was in and out of sleep. The match between Nakama and Hydra the previous day was tiring to put it simply, yet he felt the need to be on edge. He closed his eyes tightly before sitting up and looking over towards the other side of the bed. Empty and messy with most of the blanket located on that side.
Emerald
He had felt when Emerald left… well he thought he did. He hadnt remember exactly when but Emerald hadnt left that long ago.
He sniffled for a moment and allowed his body to settle before the scent of something burning brole into his nose. Kendo cringed violently and rubbed his face slowly.
What could she be burning? What?
He quickly got up and forced himself to adjust to amount of tiredness his body just threw at him. His body was begging for him to rest but his mind and his heart told him other wise.
Kendo walked down the stairs softly and felt the heat from the kitchen engulf his body. The smoke diffused through the air as he descended further and further.
“いやいやいやいや!” Kendo's ears listened to Emerald’s voice as finally made his way into the kitchen he quickly covered his nose with his elbow and adjusted to the scene. Atleast 20 dishes in the sink, his calico cat by her food bowl eating calmly, and burnt french toast on the table with a side of orange juice and a panicking Emerald who quickly turned the stove off and turned to him. She smiled and leaned against the counter. “Hey there hot stuff.. you look beautiful this morning”.
Of course she’d try to flirt with him as if she didnt almost burn his house down..
“… what did you burn?” he slowly moved his elbow from his face.
“Nothing” Emerald gave a toothy grin her gap tooth giving the smile its usual glow. Of course she looked so pretty despite making a mess- No no no. Back on track lover man
“What did you burn” he sighed with annoyace and watched as Emerald turned around and moved away from the stove allowing space for kendo to witness whatever culinary crime Emerald committed.
“Dont laugh-“ Emerald scrunched her lip as she listened to Kendo fight a laugh and try to cough it off. She had somehow found her hand around his own and was squeezing it softly.. “Please dont”.
“How do you-“ he fought a snicker as Emerald squeezed his hand. “How did you burn oats?”
Emerald gave a defeated sigh “… Momiji climbed on me and I kind of.. abandoned to the oats.. but atleast theres french toast!... just a little crispy around the edge” both turned around to look at the plates on the table.
Kendo looked at emerald quickly and kissed her cheek softly. “Well its better than.. nothing. Beggers cant really be choosers.” Well this begger could just whip them up a seven course meal for breakfast-
"Its better than nothing. Besides your love is all could want for breakfast.” Kendo wrapped his hands around Emerald's waist and she smiled softly and returned the kiss before they heard a clank against the table.
Momiji in all her glory knocked over the glass of of orange juice and was currently eating the french toast for herself. Emerald and Kendo watched the cat for a moment before turning to each other.
“I wash the dishes you make breakfast?” Emerald looked towards him and blinked.
“Couldnt have put it better myself.” He laid his head on her head as they continued watching the calico indulge in the meal.
