day 5 - kissing

"Are you gonna be late again?" Mary watched him get ready from the breakfast table, chin in her hands. Kido occupied the corner as she waited for whatever old takeout she was heating in the microwave to be done.

Seto paused as he picked up his boxed lunch. "I'm not sure. I never plan to be."

That wasn't enough for Mary, and she pouted and puffed her cheeks out in annoyance. "They're mean, for keeping you so long."

He laughed, making his way over to the table and patting her head. "If I'm gone longer it's more money for the group, right? Maybe we can go somewhere fun this weekend."

She made a noise like 'harumph', but he ignored it, and waved at Kido, who nodded back.

"Be safe," she instructed, and he grinned.

"Yes ma'am!" Then he bent down to kiss Mary on the forehead before he left. Defiant and grumpy, Mary looked up to catch it, and the kiss landed awkwardly close to her mouth, just next to her nose. He froze, and stared down at her.

"You missed," she grumbled sullenly, hunching her shoulders.

"Guess so," he replied, grinning, and put his thumb on her chin so he wouldn't make the same mistake again. Then he leaned down to kiss her properly, and in the corner Kido sighed.

"God, you two are embarrassing."
