Hey! An update as promised! Hope you will like it!

By the time the new Beast had woken up, he could hear the whole family already moving on with the day. He instinctively tried to wrap his arm around Cerise, but he realized she was long gone. Well, at least Wolf didn't find out about that. He gazed at the clock, it was 8:15, it wasn't even that late. He waked up, folded the blankets, changed in the bathroom and made a presentable appearance.

"See who just waked up" Wolf said preparing orange juice.

"Sorry, I slept in"

"Actually, we are morning people" Cerise greeted him with a hug.

"Yeah, once the kids turned four, we were never able to sleep in again" Wolf said chuckling to himself.

"Good to know" he murmured "So, a morning jog?" he asked ready to defeat the alpha.

"Nice try, boy. You are two hours too late for that, we already went and came back, showered and now we are ready to have breakfast"

"Real morning people, I see" he shrugged.

"Well, little Cerise here was a little sloppy today, had a bad night sleep?" Wolf asked completely missing out on how the two teens blushed furiously.

"N-no, dad, I was pretty sound asleep, I must be out of practice. Not many rivals to run against in the city"

"True" Wolf agreed "I guess you are not much of a match for her, ha Charming?"

He shrugged "I guess not… yet"

"It's fine, you can join us tomorrow" Cerise offered.

"But tomorrow is Sunday!" he said a bit distraught.

"So…?" Cerise eyed him suspiciously.

"S-so, em?, we have the picnic!"

"We will be right on time, don't worry. We can manage both, no problem"

"Right, no problem at all" he then again pressed his hand against his inner pocket "So… any plans for the day?"

Boy, he wished he hadn't asked. For the rest of the day, Bad Wolf did not allow him to have a single moment to himself, let alone to be with Cerise. If having him as a teacher in school was bad, now that he wanted to impress him and not only avoid detention, it was a 100 times worst.

Every single little activity they did, Bad Wolf would be barking orders, pointing his mistakes, making him repeat the same thing until it was perfect. Cutting the logs was now the easy part. They took care of the garden, then fixed the well and even went to the rooftop to take care of a leak.

"Come on, boy!" He called "pass me the wrench, make sure it's the right one this time. Three quarters"

"Yes sir" he said in a tone that was concealing his irritation. He was a grown up now, it wouldn't hurt if he acknowledge that. He was no longer his student to scold, he was the closest thing to an equal.

Of course, Daring didn't say any of that, instead, he just mumbled under his breath passing him the tool.

"Hey there" Red called from the garden watching them in the roof "Would the gentleman care for a lemonade?" she offered while Cerise brought the trey with the cold drinks.

Daring smiled at the sight of Cerise and waved "I would sure love one, be down in a second"

Wolf groaned "Hey, Charming, put this away first" he threw the wrench his way and in the attempt of catching it, he took a step back, tripping on the edge and falling from the roof into a bush.

"Daring!" Cerise ran to his side, but he just sheepishly got up dusting himself off.

"Sorry, sorry, I was a little clumsy there" he blushed "I know how Dexter felt now"

Cerise smiled cooping his cheeks on her hands and taking out of his hair some leaves and branches "My princes Charming" she teased.

"Are you alright, Daring?" Red walked towards "That was a nasty fall"

"Luckily the roof wasn't too high" he smiled showing he was fine.

"Be careful, boy. You almost landed on the roses" Wolf said.

"Dad!" Cerise protested "Would you terribly mind not killing my boyfriend?" she said while wrapping her arms around one of his.

"He is the one that tripped" Wolf countered crossing his arms.

"Ok, enough for the day, you two have worked too hard, it's time you take a break" Red gave him a glass of lemonade "before you really break something" she added to Daring. He had nothing left to do but to look away embarrassed.
