"I'm going to be a jerk for two days," Glasses announced, walking out of her room.
Sherbert lazily lifted his head, looking at her with disinterest, before resuming his nap on top of the couch.
Oh, good – I'm not the human cat toy today, Glasses thought, distracted.
Kaito yawned faintly, and he looked at her curiously. Shinichi was grumbling sulkily about being woken up at five in the morning ("I hate you all..."), his head resting on Kaito's lap, scowling in petulant displeasure even as Kaito soothingly petted his hair.
Glasses snorted. It almost looked like family portrait, with all of three of them basically huddled together like that.
"Maybe three days," She amended, thinking about it further. "Hopefully not." Or my readers will kill me.
"Why are you going to be a jerk for so long, Glass-chan?" Kaito questioned, looking mildly puzzled. He added, hopefully, "Oh, and you're going to make some of your Miracle Hot Coco, right? Right?"
"Of course – two packets of coco mix, seven teaspoons of sugar, and five teaspoons of white chocolate coffee," Glasses rattled off the ingredients of the Miracle, grinning at the happy expression on his face. Shinichi made a face – that instant coffee of hers was sweet as hell, and he didn't like it much. "Oh, and Shinichi, I still haven't found my coffee maker, but I had my brother drop off some take-out coffee from Starbucks. It's in the fridge, so you just have to heat it up and stir – oh...where'd he go?" She wondered, because Shinichi disappeared suddenly.
Kaito laughed, and they both heard the refrigerator open.
"He's getting his coffee," He explained.
"Ah," Glasses nodded sagely. "I'll start our hot coco soon, okay? Anyway, the reason why I'm going to be a jerk for two days? It's because I won't be posting drabbles for those two days."
"Gasp!"
"Le gasp!" Glasses corrected. In the other room, she heard the microwave door open and shut. "Be fancy about it, Kaito!" She laughed, absently ruffling her hair. "But yeah; I need to focus on writing a bunch of drabble sets for the next...two weeks? Something like that, and I get distracted when I have to stop and post the daily updates, and my muse hides under a rock after I'm done," She explained to the thief, sighing in exasperation.
"Hm..." Kaito nodded, musing. "Yeah, your fans are going to be disappointed."
"I know!" She groaned.
She paused, listening. It was awfully quiet. "...Shinichi, honey, you have to start the microwave," Glasses called out.
A sluggish, calculating silence.
"...damn it," The other two faintly heard, and they laughed.
