**omg I haven't posted here in FOREVER! I'm sorry guys :') wouldn't surprise me if y'all vanished on me XD okay so this, like loads of other chapters is gonna be filler? XD sorry? It might not be too though?**


I grab bacon from the parlour and start to fry it in a large pan. The sizzle of the meat makes my mouth water and the smell makes me even more hungry than I already was. I throw some bread onto a grill pan to toast it to have with the bacon. I also pick some eggs out to make fried eggs, the mixture of the three enticing smells radiate throughout the house. I hear a noise behind me and jump, I swivel around and hold out the spatular to defend myself... Against nothing but Riza. I sigh and visually seem more relaxed, "Riza... You scared the living daylights outta me!" I laugh as I turn back to cooking the bacon and eggs. Remembering the toast I flip open the grill, saving the toast just in time before it all became burnt to a crisp.

"Ah! Oh gosh..." I throw the hot pan onto the work top and go back to finishing off the bacon to find Riza had taken over, keeping an eye on the mouth-watering food.

"Thanks Riza..." I mutter, grabbing the butter and start to spread it onto the more than just toasted bread.

"No problem" She smiles, flipping the bacon, "It's done now, grab the plates!"

"Okay!" I smile, grabbing three new plates and I set them on the work top and as she slides the bacon and eggs onto the plates I grin at the yummy food that I was about to consume, "Oooh this is gonna taste great!"

"I know!" Riza says her lips curved up into a kind warm smile as she grabbed a plate and sat at the newly cleaned table.

"I'll go wake up Dad." I say skipping off towards the stairs, "I'll be right back down!" She laughs merrily as I skip up the stairs. I knock on my adoptive father's room and call out, "Dad! Breakfast is ready! Get up you lazy bones!"

I hear a tired groan from the inside and I bang on the door again and hear shuffling from inside the room.

"O... Okay. I'll be down in a second..." He groggily says through the door and I grin, hopping back down the stairs to Riza.

"He'll be down in a second!" I say, sliding into the seat next to Riza with my plate of bacon, egg and toast.

"Okay, good." She says smiling, "Well. You'd better eat up before your food gets cold Nika! Wouldn't want your own food going to waste now, would you?"

"Of course not!" I say, digging into my food. The yolk was still intact, thankfully, and the bacon was cooked just right so that it wasn't too tough but it wasn't too flaky either. I made a noise of contempt and continued eating the delicious meal I had made. The toast was a bit too... toasted. Despite it's name, there really was a limit on how toasted a piece of bread could be until it got classed as burnt.

My dad shuffled into the kitchen with a small happy smile on his face and quite bad morning hair. I start to laugh at the sight of his terrible mess of hair, he just looks up confusedly. I point to his hair and he looks into the reflective surface of the windows and he desperately tries to flatten down his crazy mop of hair, although all he manages to do is make it look worse by sliding it in the wrong direction several times.

Riza even starts to giggle at this point but quickly holds in her laughter to point towards his food that was left on the worktop for him. He looks grateful and picks up the small meal and sits next to us at the table, still fussing about a few stray locks of hair. But mainly focusing on his food. I smile widely at him from where I'm sat, shoveling the same meal into my mouth. Riza also eats her food, smiling at the both of us while we silently seem to have agreed to have an eating contest as we both seem to increase our eating speed every time we look at eat other.


After we finish eating I lean back in my chair, groaning from the amount of food I had just eaten in that little amount of time. It seems our contest had taken the same effect on Roy as he was also patting his stomach with a slight pained expression on his face. I look over to Riza and she's just trying so hard not to laugh, probably even resisting the urge to say 'I told you so.' even though she didn't try to stop us...

I smile weakly and sit up looking around at all of us. We look like a kind of normal family. But Riza and Roy are just friends. Right? Even though it seems like they are more than friends and I'm up for a nice RoAi thing as much as the next guy. But these two are professionals. Isn't there like some kind of... boundry that is set between two military personal having a romantic relationship? Even if there wasn't these two wouldn't let personal life and work life get too linked. Would they?

I stare for a very long time at both of them, before Roy excuses himself to go get dressed and washed properly. I collect the plates and wash them up, setting them aside to dry. Riza drys them and slides them into the cupboard where they will probably stay until we have to use them next I guess. That's usually the case when you put something that you aren't using right at that moment.

I then excuse myself to wash my face and to gather some things that I'll need today. Even if I don't go outside today, it's good to have a bag ready to head out with if I do.
