41 Years Old
"Mum! I lost my bag!"
"Check the coat rack honey, it's gonna be there." I shouted back, whisking eggs for Kisa.
"Mum, he's not even looking. He's on the stairs sulking." Kisa noted, sweeping her hair up into a ponytail while she waited for the toast to finish.
"Go help him, I'll cover here... and wake dad up too."
"'Kay."
I watched her go into the hall, tell Hiroki to stop being an idiot, and then she went up the stairs.
Seconds later, Hiroki walked in and smiled at me.
"I found my bag."
"Was it where I said it was?"
"Yes."
"Told you so." I laughed, handing him some toast and scrambled eggs on a plate.
"Thanks mum."
"Let's hope the first day of high school is fun!" I said.
"Yeah..." he sulked...
Yes, Hiroki was now fifteen. The last en years have flown by, and he was starting high school, while Kisa was in middle school. Kyouya had taken the head of Ootori industries, while his father had passed, and his brothers had gone in for early retirement with their billions.
Not long after Hiroki had finished his breakfast, Kisa walked in with a disgruntled Kyouya on her heels, still in his pajamas and his glasses were askew.
"Morning cheerful." I chirped, placing his breakfast down in front of him and kissing his cheek.
"Don't patronize me woman." he grumbled, but caught my wrist as I went to walk away, pulled me back to him, and gave me a sweet kiss on the lips. I went to fetch my breakfast, and sat at the table with the rest of the family, while Hiroki and Kisa bickered over something or other, and Kyouya started conversation.
"Saori love, next time don't send Kisa to wake me." he said, eating his eggs first before even touching his toast.
"Why?"
"When I don't answer to 'wake up', she determines that the best way to wake me up is to jump on the bed."
I smirked, and Kisa looked over.
"Well, it worked."
Kyouya just huffed, and continued shoveling egg into his mouth, while Kisa and Hiroki continued to argue.
"You guys need to shut up and get ready for school." I pointed out, eager to get them out the door.
"Fine." they chimed, and walked off... still bickering.
"And you, low blood pressure demon lord, have to go and get ready for work." I said, looking at Kyouya, who rolled his eyes and picked up some toast.
"I will, in a bit."
"Fine, well, I'm gonna go get changed." I said, indicating to my pajamas, and then scraping the chair back to go.
Not long after I was upstairs, Kyouya was there, a slice of toast in his hand while he want about finding what he needed for work.
I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror...
"Kyouya, I've gained weight."
"Have you?" he asked, looking up at me.
"I feel fat." I mumbled, pouting and throwing myself on the bed.
"Saori, you're beautiful." he said, walking over and rubbing my shoulder.
"And fat." I grumbled.
"You've had two children, and you're forty one, and you're still absolutely gorgeous, not fat, and amazing."
"...You're after something."
"Nothing I couldn't get already."
I gave him a little push and he walked away chuckling.
"Just get ready and go you sarcastic bugger."

I was on my own in the house, because I had a day off, but to be honest, I was thinking of going in to see if there was anything I could do.
I's been watching another replay of Jerry Springer, when the doorbell rang, and I more or less sprinted to see who it was, hoping to god it wasn't someone who'd gotten through security to sell windows and doors or something along the likes.
When I opened the door, I was happy to see Haruhi, along with Tamaki, smiling at me.
"Shouldn't you two be at work?"I asked, referring to Haruhi's lawyer firm she is now in charge of, and Tamaki being the principle of Ouran.
"Sick day." they chorused, then let themselves in past me, leaving me to laugh to myself and close the door.
I let them in, and we all started talking about how life was, how our kids were, how much of a grump Kyouya can be, things like that. Next thing I know, the twins let themselves and their current girlfriend's in, carrying several bags, then Takashi and Mitsukuni came in with their wives, with more bags, and Kyouya came in last.
He told me that the kids were sleeping at friends houses tonight, and the old host club were having a sleepover.
Which should be fun.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Of course, the last sleepover we all had was back in high school, where Takashi and I got locked in a closet. Then, we drank soda and ate junk food and watched scary movies, and had pillow fights, and acted as rowdy teens normally would.
Now, we brought out alcohol, ordered take away food, and laughed about this and that. Played truth and dare, which was hilarious, especially when the men were made to swap wives with their best friends, which meant I was stuck in Tamaki's lap, Haruhi in Kyouya's, Nina and Cari swapped twins, Mitsukuni's wife Ayaka sat next to Takashi, and Takashi's wife Estelle sat with Mitsukuni.
It was to see who could last longest with different wives, and surprisingly, the twins girls relented first, then Ayaka went back to Mitsukuni. Kyouya kept teasing Haruhi, and saying if she continues to swear at him, he'd make another debt up, so she gave up. Estelle ended up jumping back to Takashi when she got bored, and then I was left sat on Tamaki, both of us trying to win in a tickle war.
Then the others started betting on who would win the tickle war.
Kyouya, being my husband, and Takashi, being my best friend, felt they had to bet on me, but everyone else seemed to think Tamaki would win, until I rolled him over and sat on his back, hindering his reach to me, and tickling his ribs until he was crying with mirth and shouting uncle.
"We're acting like children again." Mitsukuni laughed, trying to drag Tamaki to a couch, but he was still giggling and trying not to wet himself, so he wasn't much help, and Mitsukuni dropped him.
"We are kids, just in middle aged bodies." Kyouya chuckled, taking draining his bottle or beer, and popping the lid on another.
"I agree with that." Hikaru said, clinking his glass with Kaoru's, then both of them drinking their wine.
"Be good to be a kid again." I mused, smiling to myself.
"Where we could do what we wanted." Mitsukuni smiled.
"The 'which one's Hikaru?' game" the twins chuckled.
"Tamaki flirting with every girl he saw." Kyouya chuckled.
"And Kyouya then charging every girl Tamaki flirted with." Takashi added, laughing along.
We then put in a film, which was a horror, so I ended up hiding my face in Kyouya's side with his arm around my head so I wouldn't hear much screaming. I might be a fully grown woman, but the final destination still scared the shit out of me.
After that, we went to sleep.
