Chapa walked into the Man’s Nest feeling groggy like they did every morning. The night as usual was filled with them being unable to fall asleep until it would only be a few hours before they would need to arise to greet the day (as Miles would put it).
Upon entering the Nest Chapa was immediately hit with the sounds of food frying and the smells of an array of breakfast foods.
They looked up and found Miles already greeting them with a bright smile and way too much energy for 8 in the morning.
“Morning Chapa!”
Chapa grumbled back a response as they made their way to the fruit bull on the table and reached for an apple for their breakfast.
“Hey don’t you even think about it! We’ve talked about you needing to eat a full breakfast, food will be ready in a few.” At that Chapa rolled their eyes which then made Miles look back at them with a look that made Chapa really grasp that Miles was being serious. Chapa, not wanting to just sit down and wait, decided to make themselves a cup of coffee for themselves along with their friends preferred morning beverages. Just as they finished preparing Bose’s hot chocolate while keeping Mika’s tea warm with their other hand, the pair of them walked into the Nest. Mika much like her twin having far too much energy while Bose trudged behind her looking still half asleep.
“Morning everybody! What ch’ya making Miles?” Mika asked as she walked over to Miles to peer over his shoulder.
“Trying to perfect Ray’s Man-Flaps, eggs, bacon, and sausage. Now you go sit down.” Miles playfully lightly shoved his sister away as she held up her hands in surrender. Before Mika made her way over to the table though Chapa with shaky hands would hand Mika her tea which Mika would express her gratitude for as Chapa made their way over to the table that Bose sat at with their coffee and his hot chocolate in hand. Chapa sat down next to Bose and carefully set down both the drinks as Bose immediately started using her shoulder as a pillow, they were almost sure that he dosed off a bit.
“Hey Chapa, do you mind if I fix your hair for you? Your hair is pretty tangled in the back.” Mika asked as she came up from behind the coach.
“Hm? Yeah sure.” Chapa replied as they took a sip of coffee. With the feeling of Mika gently racking her fingers through their hair and Bose’s warm breath blowing on her neck every time their friend softly exhales, Chapa couldn’t help but think of how domestic the four of them had grown over the years. They honestly couldn’t even remember when it all started for them. When almost every morning would start with them all eating together, when just about every evening would end with genuine moments playing as they all leaned against each other, when Bose started leaning or hugging them when scared or tired, when Mika started kissing everyone’s cheeks or foreheads just because it felt right, when Chapa started resting their legs in Miles’s lap as both did their own thing in silence.
This train of thought is interrupted when Miles places a plate in front of them.
“Lady, gentlemen, Chapa. Breakfast is served." Miles explains as he sits next to Bose
“Perfect timing because I just finished.” Miles says as she smooths over Chapa’s hair one last time. As Chapa runs their hands through the back of their hair Mika gives the top of Chapa’s head a quick kiss before she makes her way to sit down.
The rest of the morning is filled with talks about what each other's plans for the day were and how the Macklin parents had apparently invited all of them to dinner tomorrow night. And as the emergency bell went off while they were cleaning up Chapa decided that they didn’t need to worry about when it started as long as every morning they had would start like this.
