"You guys don't have to be here, you know," Emily replied from behind her knees, arms wrapped around her legs as she made herself as small as possible on the couch.

"Of course we did," Anri replied, setting her stuff down alongside the other bags. "We're your friends."

"And brother," Alfred replied from the kitchen, drawing a brief roll of eyes from the rest of the impromptu group that'd shown up at her doorstep.

"And that means when one of us gets dumped, the others come to help cheer them up. Preferably through lots of junk food, bad movies, and a sleepover," She finished.

"I don't know if I have enough food for everyone," Emily protested weakly. "Or enough space."

"All of us brought sleeping bags, and Alfred brought food since he knows you best," Irunya informed her, moving past them on her way to help in the kitchen. "It would be rude of us to eat your food without permission after all."

"You get to call the shots, though, since you're the one who needs the distraction," Angelique finally spoke up, digging through her bag before pulling out a few DVDs triumphantly.

"So what'll it be?" Maria finished, leaning over the back of the couch to try and get a read on the Canadian's mood.

Emily sighed, not really sure what she wanted to do right now. She honestly had just planned on taking a week off to work through her feelings on the issue on her own before heading back to work, because really it was just a break up and those happened to a lot of her people and did it really matter if she had residual feelings for him if she didn't let it affect her work?

Still, it'd be easier to humor them for a day than to try and get them to leave, and she did admit she'd do the same for any friend going through the same thing, so it was silly to refuse the same when they were just trying to help. "I guess we could watch a movie then…"

"English or French?" The Seychellian asked, walking over to offer the ones she'd brought with her. "I brought some of each, but we can watch something you own, too."

The Canadian brought a hand around, pressing a thumb to her lips in thought. "French, I think, but I'm not picky really, as long as it's mindless."

"Right, I'll set it up then!" Angelique grinned, restacking the cases before moving around the couch to start turning on the equipment and setting up the movie.

"Hey, what snacks do ya want, Em?" Alfred called out. "I've got donuts, ketchup chips, pretzels, or I can whip something up on the stove."

Emily thought on that for a bit longer, eventually deciding on, "I'd like something warm if possible. I… sort of forgot lunch."

Of course this was too quiet for her brother to hear, being mumbled into her legs and all, but Maria caught in all and nodded, pushing herself up before turning and cupping her mouth to shout back. "Something hot and filling; says she didn't eat lunch."

"Got it!" Came the fast reply, the stove fan coming on soon afterwards as he started cooking.

"Huh, apparently he is useful for something after all," The Mexican woman marvelled, grinning when she turned back to see the mildly disapproving look at the comment. "I'm not gonna get into a fight with him; we're both here for you, and besides, I've been getting on with him better lately."

Emily nodded, allowing herself to start to uncurl after Anri came back with a blanket to drape over her. Grabbing onto the soft fabric and pulling it around herself, she let slip a small smile, grateful for the stubborn companionship of her friends even as some shouting rose up from the kitchen over the exact nature of the upcoming meal.

(Thankfully, her brother had apparently won out with KD, and she had to admit, the cheesey goodness combined with a hokey anime, the warm arm around her shoulder, and the bunching of the others around her, left a warm, tingly feeling in her chest.

She wouldn't forget about him today, but she could set it aside for a while without guilt now.)

AN: Another short little piece, with Emily and her friends (and family) after a break up with nameless character X. Because friendship comfort fluff is always a nice treat to me.
