(After some time)

"Ok boys dinner's ready!" Yelled Shouko.

Julie and Ritsuka set the table.

Shouko saw Rem going upstairs.

"Rem why don't eat dinner with everyone?"

"No thanks. I'm not hungry right now. I'll ear when ever i feel like." He said coldly and went upstairs.

Ritsuka looked at Shouko. She looked hurt by her son's words.

"Aunty. Don't worry. I'll get him back." Ritsuka said as she rested her hand on her shoulder.

"No it's alri-" but she was already gone.

With rem and Ritsuka.

"Rem!" Ritsuka called as she saw him on the balcony.

"What do you want?" He asked coldly.

"Rem i swear if you don't drop that cold act of yours,

I'm gonna kill you." She said irritated. Rem sighed.

Ritsuka came to him. "What's wrong? Tell me"

After a few seconds. Rem answered "I don't know what to do. Being in a joint family, living with a lots of people is very new to me. I don't know how to react around them. " Rem sighed.

"That's it?"

"Yeah"

Ritsuka started laughing.

"Whats so funny?" Rem asked curiously.

"Sorry but it's just a little funny.

You know they all are your family. You don't have to know how to react around them. You can just be what you are." She said smiling. "Now come on, we are going back to eat dinner together and you'll apologise to aunty." She said grabbing his hand and dragging him along.

"But-"

Everyone looked at Rem and Ritsuka confused.

"Aunty Rem has something to say." Sai Ritsuka.

"Huh?"

Everyone turned to Rem.

"Umm...mother I'm sorry.." He said in a low voice looking away.

Everyone looked at him surprised then smiled. "It's alright Rem. I didn't mind it." Shouko said happily.

"Come on Rem you can smile a little. It's not going to kill you." Ritsuka said elbowing him.

And then Rem smiled lightly at everyone which shocked everyone but they decided to keep it down.

"Now let's have dinner."

They all were eating in silence. Until...

"Oh wow this is superb." Said Shin.

"The food is really tasty."

Shouko smiled.

Ritsuka made all of it. Guys looked at her surprised. Ritsuka smiled. "I'm glad if you like it."

"Ritsuka why are you eating with a spoon instead of chopsticks?" Asked julie.

"I guess she hasn't learned how to eat with chopsticks yet." Said shin laughing.

"Rem looked at her and chucked." You don't know how to eat with chopsticks?"

Ritsuka glared at both of them. "So what? That's not my fault that I'm not very familiar which japanese culture."

"Look at julie she's American but still she knows japanese culture well. She's fluent in japanese too." Said Rem. Then turned to Ritsuka. "And you suck at japanese even though you have japanese blood in you." Rem smirked. Rem glared at him and then tried to eat her dinner ignoring everyone's chuckle.

"Ok I'm done!" Said Ritsuka.

Everyone looked at her plate.

"What? Already? But Ritsuka you haven't eaten much. Did you not like the food?" Asked Shouko worriedly.

"Hehe you don't have to worry. I've eaten enough. The foods very good. It's just I try to maintain my figure." She said rubbing back of her head.

"Your still going to gym?" Asked Shin raising an eyebrow.

"Yep! Every Sunday!"

Shouko sighed. "Youngster these days."

Ritsuka saw Rem trying to avoid mushrooms.

"Oi Rem eat mushrooms too." Ritsuka scolded. Rem looked at her. "No i hate them." He said glaring at the mushrooms.

Ritsuka shook her head and grabbed her spoon. She took some mushrooms from Rem's plate and leaned the spoon towards him.

"Eat." She ordered. Everyone looked at them.

"W-what?!" Rem asked loosing his posture.

"I said eat." She ordered again.

"B-but I don't want to." Rem turned his head.

"Rem..."Ritsuka called in a scary voice making everyone look at her horrified. "Eat it right now otherwise I'm going to ripe you throat out." She glared at him. Hard.

Rem for the first time in life felt a little scared. Then he slowly eat the mushrooms from her spoon. Everyone gasped.

"Hey that's an indirect ki-" julie covered Yato's mouth with her hands.

Rem looked a little embarrassed . Everyone noticed that except Ritsuka and yuno.

"There. Did it kill you?" Asked Ritsuka placing down the spoon. Rem couldn't say anything.

"Hey Ritsuka?" Called shouko to get their attention. "Yes?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Asked shouko. Everyone could tell where this convo was going as shouko was smiling very brightly. "No I don't have one. Why?" Asked Ritsuka

"Why don't you marry Rem?" She asked smiling. Everyone took a second to process what she just asked. Then.

Rem choked his water.

Julie looked like she was going to faint.

Shin looked at her with eyes widen as plates.

Ritsuka dropped the glass she was holding. And both children..well they didn't care.

Everyone had to take a minute to come back to their senses.

"Mom!/Aunty!" Yelled Rem and Ritsuka in a union blushing a little.

Everyone looked at Rem and Ritsuka.

Rem and Ritsuka looked at each other then quickly avoided eye contact.

"I refuse!" Both said in a union again. Making everyone smile again.

"Aunty that's impossible. I'm just a kid." Ritsuka said looked at Shouko.

"If you just a kid, I'd suggest you to marry Yato. I'll be very happy to have you as my daughter in law. " said julie squealing. "Yato, you like Ritsuka right?"

Yato blushed a little and was just about to refuse when Yuno stood up. "No, i will mwarry Rwitshuka!" Rem twitched.

Everyone looked at the little one's courage and chuckled.

Ritsuka looked came to him and picked him up. "I'll marry you too." She said smiling.

Julie squealed. "Haha that means I'm having Ritsuka as my daughter in law."

Shouko looked at her. "No you don't. She's going to be my daughter in law."

"You bet!"

"Yeah the game is on."

Everyone except Yuno looked at them and sweat dropped.

Julie pointed her finger at his sons. "Boys make your mother proud. You have to marry Ritsuka."

Shouko stood up and pointed a finger and Rem. "Rem you have to make Ritsuka yours before they do." Rem and Ritsuka blushed.

"M-mom! W-what are you saying?!" Rem asked flushed.

"T-that's i-impossible." Said Ritsuka. Everyone except Shin started fighting.

Shin looked at them and sighed before...

"EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!YOUR NOT A TWO YEARS OLD KID!" Shin yelled at top of his lungs. Everyone looked at him and realised what was going on.

"O-oh i'll go and clean the dishes." Said Shouko nervously laughing. "Julie and Ritsuka can help me."

Both looked at her. "O-ok."
