"MAMAN HAS A LADY OVER!"

Touka woke up with a start, alarmed by the sudden noise. Her eyes darted around searching for the source; they landed on three pairs of eyes peering over the back of the couch.

"Who are you?" The boy with the eyepatch asked; the other two staring silently.

Feeling something soft below her Touka looked down and remembered where she was. She tried to sit up but the person's arms were wrapped around her middle tightly; struggling she pushed at the person's arms until she was released suddenly, sending her to the floor with flailing arms. "Oof."

The boy with sharp teeth snorted, trying not to laugh.

Haise woke up to his shoulder being shaken forcefully; the weight on his chest was gone. He cracked an eye open, looking for Touka; he distinctly remembered falling asleep holding her. The insistent shaking of his shoulder drew his searching towards the source, eyes now opened fully. He blinked.

"Touka? What are you doing on the floor?" He was confused; there was no way he had thrown her off the couch while sleeping, was there? As far as he knew Haise had never been one to toss and turn, but rather to cling onto something - usually his pillow.

Touka said nothing; she simply pointed to the back of the couch where the spectators waited, amused.

"What?" Haise turned to see what she was pointing at. When he saw the three young adults standing with amused faces he sat up quickly, face flushed bright red. "Tooru, Shirazu, Saiko, what are you doing back? Uh... L-Listen, it was cold and I couldn't find a blanket and- mmfph!"

A blanket hit him across the face, wrapping around his head. Shirazu and Saiko snickered as Haise tried to untangle himself; Tooru grinned.

"Sassan the blanket was on the chair," Shirazu laughed.

Haise frowned. "Well I didn't see it!"

"It's also close to 80 degrees (27 degrees) in here," Tooru pointed out plainly.

Everyone looked between Haise and the blanket he was now holding in his hands; he was scrambling for an excuse.

"But you see- it- I just- Just hear me out-" He trailed off when Touka stood up, brushing her skirt and adjusting her hair.

She glanced at the teenagers briefly before turning back to Haise. "Um, I'm just going to home for today..."

"But-"

"I'll talk to you tomorrow after you work out this," she gestured to the teens, "little family matter. See you later."

Haise watched, unable to do anything, as Touka quietly wormed her way around the couch and teenagers towards the door."

"Bye, lady!" Saiko waved animatedly. Touka paused and turned around to face them just outside the doorway; she bowed her head slightly before closing the door gently behind her. Saiko jumped over the back of the couch and settled herself next to Haise. "She was pretty! Is she your girlfriend, Maman?"

He closed his eyes, rubbing the bridge of his nose. All Haise wanted was to spend time with the beautiful women that worked in his favorite coffee shop; he didn't plan for the Quinx - sans Urie - to come from their lecture at the CCG early and scare her off.

The three were looking at him expectantly, clearly demanding an answer.

"I don't know," he said finally. "I was going to ask her but then we fell asleep and you guys showed up."

Shirazu huffed, pretending to be offended. "Well so-rry for interrupting you're little catnap. We just wondered why there was a woman with you of all people."

Tooru smacked him upside the head. "Don't be rude, Shirazu," he ordered. He turned to Haise. "It's not normal for there to be somebody else here. Plus, you never sleep in the living room."

Haise grunted. He began absently messing with Saiko's hair as he thought about what he would say to Touka the next time he saw her. 'Just saying sorry seems lazy,' he thought. He obviously couldn't tell her that he took care of four teenagers because they were a sort of human-ghoul hybrid; but he also couldn't think of any other practical explanation besides just apologizing. He sighed.

After all, Haise never did have decent luck when it came to his personal life.


I have absolutely no explanation behind this; it was just a thing I saw on Tumblr and I thought "why the fuck not?" so this happened. Idk man there's just something about it that doesn't sit right with me? But I don't know what? then again I think that about basically everything I write so.

ANYWAY, this will have two parts. Part 1 is Tousaki (obv) and part 2 will be Ayahina. It'll probably be a little while before I get to the second part, but I'll get there I promise.

So yeah, fave/follow/review Idk do what feels right to you. I'm always a slut for constructive criticism, just remember that.

With love,

Lau
