Breaking Mike

Today was a good day. The sun was shining, birds were singing and everyone was being productive. Everyone except the four children. They had woken up especially rowdy and had been looking for entertainment all day. They had wandered around wondering which adult would give them the most attention on this busy day, which led them to Mike. Mike had been feeding the animals before he headed off to do his assigned job for the day. Unfortunately for him, he was the perfect one to entertain the kids. Well, he didn't know that yet though.

Afansei, Koibito, Fumetsu and Esperer sneakily made their way over to the large man. Mike was currently in the sloppy pen feeding the pigs. Afansei wanted to abort the mission but his siblings wouldn't let him. Once they got close enough to the man, they decided who would bother him first. Or course because of his magic smelly smell powers, Mike knew the children crept up on him. He could also smell that Koibito was the first one chosen to bother him.

"Uncle Mike?" Koibito asked sweetly. Instantly Mike knew to watch out. When she seemed kind, it usually ended badly.

"What is it Koi?" Mike asked, turning to face the girl. Since she was so short he had to look down and she had to look up.

"Are you a titan?"

"Of course not."

"Is one of your parents a titan?"

"No."

"But you're so tall!" Koi explained. "If not a titan, then are you a tree?"

"No Koi. I'm not a tree; I'm just a regular human." Mike told the small girl.

"Are you sure?"

"Koi, I think I would know if I wasn't a human." Mike was slowing losing his patience. He could only deal with such a topic for so long.

"I'm bothering you, aren't I?" Koibito began to sob, sending Mike into a panic. He bent down to calm the girl, when she yelled. "Now!" Faster than Mike could act, Afansei, Fumetsu, and Esperer came running at him. Along with Koibito, they jumped on Mike. Their combined body weight hitting him sent Mike into the mud. He quickly got up and tried to pry the children off of him but they clung to him very powerfully.

"This isn't amusing, let go." Mike told the children after they made him fall in the mud again.

"Never!" One of the children cried in his ear. The kids kept knocking him down, hoping to get his face in the mud, which happened a few times. Once Mike regained his balance he made his way to the garden where he knew Arcadia and Eclipse were. Once in the garden, the two girls saw him and rushed to him.

"What in the world is going on here?" Arcadia demanded. Mike's face shocked the two sisters. He looked horrified and distressed. Like the kids broke him.

"Help." Was all Mike said. Arcadia and Eclipse pried their children off of the traumatized man and set them on the ground. As soon as they were off of Mike, he ran off.

"What did you guys do to Mike?" Eclipse questioned as the man quickly retreated.

"We made him roll around in mud and carry us." Esperer replied, clearly proud.

"We also shoved mud up his nose." Koibito giggled as she said it.

"You broke him. He's never dealt with such a situation before." Arcadia explained, finding it a little funny.

"Our bad." The kids said, feeling bad. They left their mothers to go clean up and think of new ways to torture the adults.

"They'll never learn, will they?" Eclipse questioned.

"I wonder who they will break next." Arcadia asked, moments later, the two heard Levi yell.

"My clean floor!" Levi yelled, horrified at the mess in the house they just created.

"We'll there's our answer."
