The spring breeze flew through the morning air, creating a refreshing feeling outside. Ren was currently in bed, trying to get another hour of sleep in for his Saturday morning. The morning light pierced through the window of Ren's room however, telling him that trying to get any more sleep was just wishful thinking. He reached for his phone to check what time it was, but for some reason it wasn't there. Ren looked at the clock in his room instead and saw it was eight o'clock. The brown haired boy got dressed and headed downstairs, where breakfast was already on the table. Clair was currently eating some pancakes on her plate.

"Morning" Ren yawned.

"Good morning dear" Ren's mother greeted. "You sleep well?"

"Yeah, pretty much" he replied as he rubbed his eyes to try and wake himself up a little more.

"Go ahead and eat. I made plenty so dig in."

Ren walked over and took a seat at the table, gradually starting to wake up. Clair had already shrugged off any tiredness she had as she was already scoffing down her food. The young brunette smiled at her older brother.

"So are you doing anything today, big bro?"

"I dunno." Ren shrugged. "Maybe I'll go out and see a movie."

The two siblings' mother quickly turned her head towards her son. "Wait! You can't go out today!"

"Why not?" Ren questioned.

"B-Because… I'm going out shopping today! Yeah, that's it! I can't have Clair here all by herself."

"Then I'll take Clair with me. Anything you wanna see sis?"

"Hmm let me think" Clair said as she thought for a moment. "Well I wouldn't mind seeing-"

"You can't go out today!" their mother exclaimed

Ren gave his mom a suspicious look. "What's up with you? Is there something going on?"

"N-No" she replied. "Y-You just never know if something might come up."

'What's going on with her today?' Ren wondered. 'Eh, probably best not to dig too deep into that'

After Ren finished breakfast, he washed the dishes and took a seat on the couch in their living room. "By the way, has anyone seen my phone?" he asked.

"It's over here on the counter" his mom answered. Ren walked over there and as she said, it was lying right there. 'Weird. I don't remember leaving it here last night' he thought. The brown haired teen was about to walk over to the couch, until he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

"Could you get that?" Ren's mother asked.

Obeying his mother, Ren walked to the door and opened it. Surprisingly, the person on the other side was Alice. "Alice? What are you doing here?" he questioned.

"What are you talking about?" the black haired girl responded. "You texted me this morning and asked if I could come over today. I sent a reply back saying yes, and you told me to get here as soon as I could."

Ren gave a confused look towards his girlfriend. "No I didn't. I haven't even touched my phone since-" Suddenly, Ren realized what had just happened. He hadn't left his phone on the counter last night. Someone had taken it from his room this morning while he was still sleeping, texted Alice in his place, and told her to come over. Only one person was devious and cunning enough to do that.

"Hello Alice!" Ren's mother called from the kitchen with a cheerful tone. "Dan didn't say you were coming over today."

"Mom…" Ren glared.

"Yes sweetie?"

"You took my phone and sent a fake text to Alice?"

"What?"

"Don't deny it."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Mom"

"Oh fine, but can you blame me?" his mother finally admitted. "It's been forever since she's come over."

"That's because you're here and I don't want to deal with you trying to embarrass me!"

"But how else am I supposed to have any fun?"

Ren pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Alice walked into the house, feeling the awkward tension between her boyfriend and his mother, who cheerfully came over to greet the black haired teen. "It's just so nice for you to be in my son's life. It seems like yesterday he was just learning to walk. Now my baby has a girlfriend!"

"Mom!"

Ren's mother chuckled at her son's red face, though whether it was from embarrassment or anger couldn't be told. The brown haired teen took his girlfriend's hand. "Come on. Let's go upstairs."

As the couple walked upstairs to Ren's room, his mother called out to them again. "Make sure you leave the door open. I wouldn't want to walk in on you two lovebirds kissing."

"… You're gonna make this entire day hell for me, aren't you?"

"I'm your mother. It's what I do."

Ren gave an annoyed sigh and brought Alice up to his room to get away from his psycho mother, closing the door behind him despite her telling him not to. The two took a seat on the edge of his bed. "I'm sorry she dragged you into this."

"Oh it's not that bad. Plus we get to spend the day together." Alice told him. "At least she doesn't hate me or anything."

"If anything, I think she likes you too much." Ren said.

The two continued chatting about various things. As the two talked, a knock on the door was heard. "Don't worry, it's Clair" the voice assured the couple.

"Come in" Ren said, relieved that his mother hadn't come up to embarrass him even more.

The young brunette opened the door and walked in. "Can you help me with my homework? I'm having some trouble with it."

"Can't you ask mom to do it?" Ren asked.

"She's too busy thinking up how to embarrass you two next" the young brunette explained. "Please! I really need help with this!"

"Can't it wait till tomorrow? I'm hanging out with Alice."

"Oh yeah, about that" Clair began with a devilish grin "I heard a certain couple recently got married in Alfheim. I wonder how mom would react if she found out this little piece of info."

"You wouldn't dare"

"Try me"

'What did I do to deserve this?' Ren asked himself as he sighed. "Fine, I'll help. What subject is it?"

Clair entered the room and took a seat on the bed with the couple with her notebook on her lap. "It's this stupid math" the brunette explained. "I don't get any of this long division stuff. It makes no sense"

"Math isn't my strong suit, so I'm not gonna be much help" Alice sighed.

"Well it's a good thing I'm better at math than you two" Ren said. "I'm already used to having to give Alice all the answers to her geometry homework"

Alice puffed her face in semi-mock anger. "Hey, that's not fair. I end up helping you with homework too… sometimes"

"If by sometimes you mean never"

"Can we get back to MY homework?" Clair asked.

Ren continued to lead his sister through the multiple math problems she had. After an hour, the young brunette finished her homework and left the couple alone in Ren's room.

"That took longer than expected" Ren sighed as he laid down across his bed.

Alice laid down next to her boyfriend and nuzzled against him. "Well at least we can finally be alone"

Ren gazed into Alice's beautiful scarlet eyes as they stared at each other and smiled. Alice leaned in closer and gave a kiss to the brown haired teen. The two cuddled together, trapped in their moment of happiness.

"Awwwww, you two are so adorable!" Ren and Alice immediately sat back up to see Ren's mother at the door to her son's room with a grin on her face. The couple's faces became bright red. "Young love is just the cutest thing, isn't it?"

"What do you want mom?" Ren said in a very annoyed tone.

"I just wanted to see if Alice wants to stay over for dinner. After all, she's never stayed over to eat."

"I'd be happy to stay" Alice nodded. "I just need to check with my parents first."

"Oh don't worry. I already called to see if they were ok with it." Ren's mother explained. "They said it's no problem"

"What are you planning?" Ren asked.

"Now that's a little uncalled for, don't you think?" she asked. "I'm just trying to let you two enjoy some time together."

"You just want to embarrass me some more, don't you?"

Not answering his question, Ren's mother left the room in a seemingly innocent manner. Knowing her though, Ren knew she was going to try to pull something.

"Your mom's kinda interesting" Alice told him.

"Interesting isn't the word I'd use."

"She's just messing with you. Parents get like that sometimes. You should see how my mom reacted when she found out I suddenly had a boyfriend."

As Ren and Alice chatted away, time passed by. Before they knew it, Clair had come up to tell them that dinner was almost ready. The couple went downstairs to find the table set with a steak in the middle. Four plates were set out for them.

Ren and Alice took a seat at the table along with Clair and Ren's mother. She cut up the steak and handed out the slices to everyone. They all put their hands together.

"Itadakimasu!"

With that said, the group began to dig in to the food in front of them. Ren might not have been the greatest at cooking, but his mother wasn't as hopeless in the kitchen as him.

"So Alice" Ren's mother began. "My son has been talking about you non-stop."

'I knew it' Ren thought as he gave a small unnoticeable sigh. 'Why does she always do this to me?'

"He does talk a lot about you" Clair agreed. "It's almost obsessive"

Ren gave a look towards his sister. Even without words, it was as if they had some sort of silent telepathic communication between them.

'Why are you egging her on? I helped you with your homework so can you try to not make this night miserable?'

'But it's more fun to see you like this'

'Well it's not fun for me'

'That's what makes it fun'

"So, is there anything new with you two lovebirds?" Ren's mother asked, interrupting the siblings' communication.

"Well" Clair began. "I did hear that these two got-"

'I can't let her tell mom we got married in game! Mom will never stop teasing me if that happens!'

"Actually, I heard that Clair got a crush on some boy at her school" Ren interrupted, not letting his sister finish.

"What?!" Clair exclaimed.

"Really?! Is that true?!" Ren's mother asked. "Oh, my little baby girl is growing up too! She already has her first crush!"

Alice leaned over and whispered into her boyfriend's ear. "Is that really true?"

"No" the brown haired teen whispered back. "But at least this'll keep my mom's attention off us"

Clair continued to try to explain that it wasn't true, but her mother wouldn't let her off the hook until she told her who she was "crushing" on. The young brunette glared over at her brother.

'Why did you have to tell her that?'

Not so fun when the tables are turned, is it?'

The group of four continued to eat dinner, while Clair did everything she could to evade her mother's constant barrage of questions. After they finished eating, Ren decided to walk Alice back to her place.

A/N: Again, I'm sorry that this chapter is late. I will try to get next week's chapter up on time. Until then everyone.
