"SO (Y/N), how was your weekend?" Your co-worker asked, her mouth wider than a fish as her eyes sparkle for your answer.

Sweating a bit, you tell her that it was fine before rushing to put on your uniform.

The woman follows you to your seat, you wanted to lose consciousness now! C'mon, body that isn't yours!

"You just seem so stressed! You wanna talk about it?"

The woman asked once more, while you try not to snap at Kanei, knowing she was trying to be nice.

Your cubicle neighbor sighs at the "chatty-Kathy". But also tunes into the conversation.

"Kanei's right, you've been acting up for a bit. You coming down with something?" Fuji asks, slowly scooting  away from you.

You roll your eyes, ''I'm fine, no worries. Just a bit... Tired."

You say, getting started to look through the paperwork piling on your desk. Frowning when seeing everything look like strange code before your reign over the body is taken away. Leaving you to watch and reminisce about your weekend.

-

After moving Ai and his twins inside your apartment. (Along with given a thorough background check to make sure you also weren't a dangerous person.)

You sat in your supposed "bed", feeling uncomfortable and tired knowing that there were strangers now living in your apartment.

Just what is with this world..!

Getting up from the bed, you slowly walk out of your room. Hesitantly peering through your door to see if anyone was in the living room.

"I'm hungry.." You said once the feeling of nothing in your stomach finally caught up to you.

The sensation was worse than throwing up black and purple goo.

Racing into the kitchen, you open the fridge and scan over the items. Surprised it was stocked up, you vaguely remember buying items. But this much?

You try not to think, but it seems you barely remember anything since being in this world.

Pulling out ingredients and items you wanted.

You feel the body you once had control over become lost as you watch "yourself" prepare food that would be enough to feed a small army.

The dish in question was a simple fried chicken and rice dish.

You stared at it strangely once you felt the body receive your consciousness again.

You stare at Ai's room, which was across the hall from his kid's room.

While yours was further down.

"Hey! I made food! If you guys want some..." You call out, expecting an answer and receiving none.

You hum, ignoring the sounds of doors opening as you wander over to the dining table. Utensils in hand as you munch on the fruits of your labor.

Drool pools at the bottom of your mouth when you took a bite.

It was unnaturally good.

"This is so delicious!" You yelled, freaking out at your unknown cooking skill. Not noticing how Ai was startled by your outburst.

"It does smell tasty!" Ai compliments you.

Pausing your movement, eyes bulging from your sockets as Ai places two plates of the food you made down on the table.

Ruby and Aqua take seats and thank their dad. Not touching the food until Ai himself has gotten a plate himself.

"Thank you (L/N), it looks delicious."

Ai said politely, yet you hold in your choke as you swallow down the food stuck in your throat.
'H-he surprised me...'

"N-no worries! I'm glad you three like it, I didn't even know I made this much."

Ruby smiles excitedly at the dish, digging in and stopping.

"So.. GOOD!"

Aqua glances at Ruby, seeing her happily eat the food as Ai chuckles at his daughter. Then glancing at Aqua, who hasn't touched the food you had made.

"Aqua? Is something wrong?"

The young boy shakes his head, "No, I just thought Ruby looked funny when eating." Aqua snidely chuckled as his sister scowled.

"I do not!" Ruby huffs, turning away from her brother and scooting closer to her father.

"Papa!" Ruby whines as Ai pats her head and gave a gentle smile to his son. "Aqua, don't be rude."

"Sorry.."

Ai turns his attention to you, "So.."

"So.." You repeat.

The two of you become quiet as you wipe your mouth with a napkin.

Aqua and Ruby throw each other a look, Aqua shakes his head as Ruby nodded.

"Hey, Mx. (Y/N)! What do you do for a living?"

Ruby questions innocently, her brother lowers his head in shame for the childish tactic.

"Uhhhh.."

'What do I do for a living?? All I know is that it has something to do with numbers...'

That's it! Numbers!

"Acounting! I am an accountant!"

"Oh? Really? Wow, you seem so young though. I thought accountants were old guys in suits." Ai mumbled.

Causing his son and daughter to deflate at their father's bluntness. Daring you to be rude to their father, yet you laugh good-naturedly.

"I agree, I can't believe it myself! I'm still getting used to it.." You said tiredly.

Aqua, noticing your humbleness, takes a bite of the food.

"It's good."

"Told you!" Ruby declared.You laugh once more at their antics.

Your laughter, his kids laughter, the food, the ambiance. It felt... Warm. It was nice.

Ai smiles softly at the feeling filling his body.

He could get used to this.

The idol takes a bite of the warm food, his eyes widening at the taste.

"Wow... You did really well." The young man quietly praises you, indulging himself in another mouthful of food.

Knowing he'd have to work it off tomorrow.

♡Omake♡: You raise up from your spot, plate empty. "I'm going to get seconds, do you want any?" A loud chorus of yes's blared through your eardrums.
