my favorite workplace activity is Biscuit Tetris, where the goal is to eat as many biscuits as humanly possible while making the biscuit container look like it's barely been touched.

Bonnie bro: "Hey there beautiful! How was school?"
*Bonnie bro twirls Cassie up into a hug, making her giggle in the process*
Cassie: "It was good dad! I even saw Gregory!"
Bonnie bro: "Aww really? That boy from your birthday? That's great! Now c'mon, I only have half an hour 'till my lunch break ends-"
*Both Cassie and Bonnie bro start to approach Bonnie bro's car*
Bonnie bro: "-and you can do your homework in Faz-Pad. I'll give you some money in case you get hungry, okay darling?"
Cassie: "Okay!"
*Unknowingly to them, a young boy in a blue striped shirt is sulking, watching them as they leave*
Gregory: "..."
Gregory: (Man, I wish for somebody to twirl me up like that too... Cassie's lucky...)
*As they continue towards Bonnie bro's car, Cassie notices Gregory, who seems to be upset*
Cassie: "Hm? Gregory?"
*Bonnie bro turns, wondering what interested his daughter enough to stop*
Cassie: "Hey dad, can I talk to Gregory real quick? It'll be just fiveeee minutes. Please?"
Bonnie bro: "I don't know. I mean, you know how my job hates it when I'm late-"
Cassie: "-Please!!! Please please please please please please plea-"
*Cassie continues to tug on Bonnie bro, not stopping until he complied*
Bonnie bro: "-Okay! Okay! You little tornado! You're all over the place!"
*Cassie gives Bonnie bro a tight hug, to the point where he almost can't breathe*
Cassie: "Thank youuuuuuuu!!!!"
*Cassie quickly runs off while Bonnie bro, who's still shaken, makes sure to keep an eye on her*
Bonnie bro: "Just be quick! I don't have forever!"
Cassie: "Will do!!!"
Bonnie bro: (Gosh! Whatever I wouldn't do for this girl...)
*Gregory continues to sulk, not hearing the rapid footsteps coming to him at an alarming rate*
Gregory: "..."
Cassie: "Gregory!!!!!!"
Gregory: "Huh!?"
*Cassie jumps on him, capturing him in the same hug that she gave to her father*
Cassie: "Hey!!! How are-... you..?"
*Cassie stops in her tracks, now noticing that Gregory was crying*
Gregory: "I- I'm fine! Really! Nothing to worry about..! Totally!! Haha... ha..."
Cassie: "No you're not! Tell me what's wrong, please."
*Gregory doesn't answer, instead nods his head over to Bonnie bro and Cassie looks back, now realizing what's going on*
Cassie: "Oh... I'm sorry Gregory! I didn't see you so I didn't realize that-"
*Gregory perks up, realizing that Cassie is blaming herself for something that clearly wasn't her fault*
Gregory: "...No."
Cassie: "I didn't mean for that to happen so I- huh?"
Gregory: "No. You didn't do anything. Stop blaming yourself for something that isn't your fault."
Cassie: "But I- You're homeless! You don't have parents! How am I supposed to not feel guilty for having that when you're standing literally right there!?"
Gregory: "..."
*Both Cassie and Gregory are quite now, unsure what to tell each other*
Cassie: "I'm sorry..."
Gregory: "You're fine... Stop taking the blame. Whatever happened to me is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean you should be guilty for having something I don't. I'm just... Unfortunate, that's all..."
*Both are still silent, until Cassie comes up with an idea*
Cassie: "Hey Gregory."
Gregory: "What?"
Cassie: "I have an idea! How about you go join me and my dad over there to the PizzaPlex? He still has his shift, so we can go while he works. We can hang out in Faz-Pad, and order some food there while we work on homework!"
Gregory: "Really!? I- You'd do that for me!? But I don't even have money and-"
Cassie: "Don't worry. It's all on me."
Gregory: "But what if your dad won't like me?"
Cassie: "Won't like you? Pfft! Now that's the part where you'd be bluffing! He has been asking me questions about you non stop!"
Gregory: "I think he's doing that because I'm technically you're first friend, seeing as you never had friends before."
Cassie: "Well, true...- But still!!! Trust me, everything will be fine."
Gregory: "If you say sooaaAAHH-"
*As Gregory says that, he gets dragged by Cassie back to where Bonnie bro is, who's still waiting*
Gregory: "GAH!! I'm gonna puke! Never do that again Cassierole!"
Cassie: "Hey! Rude!"
Gregory: "Well you deserve it!"
Bonnie bro: "There you are! And here I thought I was gonna be late for work!"
*Both Cassie and Gregory perk up as Bonnie bro speaks, startled by a third voice interruptoling their bickering*
Cassie: "Hey dad, meet Gregory. Hey Gregory, meet dad."
*Bonnie bro and Gregory shake hands, finally able to meet one another*
Gregory: "Hey Cassie's dad. It's nice to meet you."
Bonnie bro: "Hey there little man! Nice to meet you too. How are you?"
Gregory: "Thanks! And I'm... Fine. Ya."
Bonnie bro: "Well, that's good to hear. Again, nice to meet you. Cassie has been taking about you non stop!"
Gregory: "Wait, really?"
Cassie: "Daddddd!!!!"
Bonnie bro: "What?"
Cassie: "Stop it! You're embarrassing me!!!!"
Gregory: "PFFT-"
*As Bonnie bro and Gregory giggle, much to the annoyance of Cassie, Bonnie bro realizes something*
Bonnie bro: "Actually, I think you should be heading home. Your parents might start to question where you are. Welp, I'm not gonna hold you back. You're free to go. Nice meeting you."
Gregory: "I-..."
*Cassie, sensing Gregory's destress, decides to change the topic before things escalate*
Cassie: "Ermmm, actually dad? Gregory and I were wondering if he can join us to go to the PizzaPlex! Would that be okay?"
Bonnie bro: "I mean, I wouldn't mind, but what about Gregory's parents?"
*Bonnie bro then turns to Gregory*
Bonnie bro: "Have you told your parents yet? I wouldn't want them to think that anything bad happened to you."
Gregory: "Ermmm, yeah actually..! I texted them if it would be okay for me to stay with you guys and they told me that it was okay as long as you're there, AND if I manage to finish my homework! Haha.."
*Bonnie bro questions Gregory's behavior, but doesn't dwell on it for long*
Bonnie bro: "Okay. But I wouldn't want you to stay there for too long. My shifts there are kinda... Over the top. I think Cassie told you that."
Cassie: "Yeah I did."
Gregory: "Yeah she did."
Bonnie bro: "Well kid, I'll try to ask for some free time, and if you remember your address, I can take you home, okay?"
*Gregory is shocked at Bonnie bro's behavior towards him, as many adults in his life so far have been nothybut cruel to him*
Gregory: "O-okay! Thanks!"
Bonnie bro: "Alright then. I'll try to take you home by 6pm. Now let's get moving, shall we? I really don't wanna be late-"
*Both Gregory and Cassie giggle at this as they climb into the car, with Bonnie bro reminding them to put on their seat belts and double checking if the did*
Cassie: "C'mon Gregory! That'll be fun! Maybe dad will let us try out a ride that hasn't been opened yet! That'll be so exciting!"
Bonnie bro: "Hey! Hold your horses there, Cassierole! I never said anything about testing new rides!"
Cassie: "Oh c'mon! Not you too!"
Gregory: "Wait. You call her that too!? Haha!"
Bonnie bro: "Yeah. She hates when we do that, doesn't she?"
*Bonnie bro and Gregory look back at an angry Cassie, much to their amusement*
Cassie: "Okay! Okay! I get it! Can we just go now!?"
Bonnie bro: "Hehe, okay."
*As the trio arrived at the PizzaPlex, much of what was promised happened. They ate at Faz-Pad while doing homework, and much to the dismay and surprise of Gregory, Cassie did indeed pay for the food. After they were done, they chatted a bit before deciding to go to Bonnie Bowl for some fun. By the time they finished bowling, much like Bonnie bro promised, he managed to convince his boss on a 1 hour break. Enough time to drive Gregory home and back. As they were leaving Bonnie Bowl, Bonnie bro decided to get Cassie and Gregory an ice cream as a little treat. With how much care Bonnie bro gave to Gregory, Gregory wondered that maybe not all adults are like that.*
Cassie: "Well, today was fun, wasn't it? I hope that we can meet again some other day!"
Bonnie bro: "Hey little man, enjoying your ice cream?"
Gregory: "Yeah! Thanks dad..."
*Both Bonnie bro and Cassie stop in their tracks and look back, making Gregory wonder what he just said until he fully registered what had just happened*
Gregory: "WHAT-!?? I- I MEAN- NO! I DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF THAT- I-"
Cassie: "Did you just-!?"
Bonnie bro: "Hey! It's okay! It's not the end of the world!... Son..."
Gregory: "Huh!?"
*Bonnie bro giggles, finding it adorable that Gregory would think of him as his own*
Bonnie bro: "What? You think I wouldn't carry some humor? C'mon, we still need to get you home."
Cassie: "Awww!!! Gregory! That was adorable!!!"
Gregory: "No it wasn't I-"
*As Cassie gushers and Gregory continues to grumble in frustration, he grabs Bonnie bro's hand as they go through the main entrance of the Plex, with Gregory telling Bonnie bro that his house is near by Cassie's, and with Cassie 'confirming' this false statement. Gregory told Cassie to not tell her dad, to which she complied to since there was nothing she could do, and she didn't want Gregory to be stuck at a foster home, hearing horrible stories about how kids were mistreated there. So with that, Gregory was dropped off on a nearby curb, with having one thought in mind*
Gregory: (Maybe things weren't so bad after all...)
Anon this very wholesome. But I can't just laughing at Cassie's dad being Nicknames Bonnie bro and idk why.

Tw- 4n@ rant
Guys I had Dutch bros I'm a worthless p1g 🐷
Genuinely feel like a waste of space
I downloaded the app (Dutch bros app) cos my sister and I like to go there alot, I was planning to fast today and I broke my 8 hour fast because I get a free drink in the app (for downloading it) and my sister wanted to go get it so I had a medium hyperchrome lemonade (I literally always get small and I should have) and I didn't even get it iced which would've been the lower cal option because honestly they taste so much better blended
So me and my sister shared it (so glad we at least shared it) and I'm gonna try and starve all weekend 🤞
In my family, we eat all meals together (except for lunch on school days cos I'm at school, dw I always skip lunch at school) so it's INCREDIBLY hard for me to restrict, and my dad is one of those "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" people so I can't exactly skip it like every single other person I know but I think I'm gonna start "waking up late" on weekends so there isn't a lot of time until lunch so maybe I can start skipping it so I'm "hungry for lunch" in reality I'll keep waking up at the same time but I'll just work out until 11 (or play video games if I'm feeling lazy) with my door closed and light off, there's a chance they come in to wake me up but I'm gonna ask them to not wake me up because school has been tiring recently.
Any flaws in my plan y'all? Or anything to add?

BIRTHDAY GONE WRONG
**BEEP BEEP BEEP**
A green hand reached over and hit the 'off' button on a Mickey Mouse alarm clock. Stretching and yawning loudly, Michelangelo slowly sat up in his bed. The young terrapin rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and glanced across his dimly lit bedroom.
"GASP! Today's the day!!" Mikey exclaimed as he hopped out of bed and bounded to his calendar in excitement. Mikey grinned and bounced in place as he viewed the highly decorated date on the kitten calendar Raph had gotten him for Christmas.
"Ooh I can't wait to see what my amazing older brothers have planned for me today."
Mikey set about to get ready for the day. Once the bathroom had been visited with teeth brushed and an orange mask had been tied securely on his face, Mikey skipped out to the main living area.
Sitting on a beanbag was Leonardo scrolling through some app on his phone, his shell facing Mikey. On the ground beside Leo sat Donatello tinkering with S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. again. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Hmm. Mikey shrugged and strode toward his immediate older brothers. "Good morning, dudes! It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"
Leo glanced up from his phone and turned his head to smile at Mikey. "It sure is, hermano. Too bad we can't go outside to enjoy it."
Confused by Leo's lack of acknowledgment of the day's importance, Mikey went and sat in front of his brothers.
"Well yeah, but I mean... It's a beautiful day down here. In sewer sweet sewer. Don't you think?"
Mikey directed the question at Donnie, who merely shrugged and said in a flat tone, "Don't know how this place can be anymore beautiful today than any other day."
'What is with these guys?' Mikey thought to himself. A bit disappointed by his brothers' lack of enthusiasm, Mikey stood and headed toward the kitchen.
'Maybe it's too early for any celebrating. Neither of them like mornings.' Then it was if a lightbulb turned on above his head. 'Aha! Of course! They have a big surprise planned and don't want to spoil it. Oh, those guys...'
Mikey hummed a light tune as he entered the kitchen. There, he found Raphael pouring milk into his bowl of cereal. Seeing his youngest brother, Raph smiled wide. "Mornin', little man!"
"Raaaph. How many times do I have to tell you? I'm NOT a 'little man'! I'm grown up like you!" Mikey rolled his eyes and huffed, placing his hands on his hips as he stared at his oldest brother.
"Right, right, sorry. Ya hungry, big guy?"
Mikey grinned and nodded. "You bet! What do we have?"
Raph looked at his brother in confusion. "Uh... Same stuff we always do. Cereal, toast, leftover pizza. Whatever you want."
Posture deflating, Mikey uttered an "Oh," and rifled through the fridge for the pizza box from the night before.
Heating up two slices of supreme pizza in the microwave, Mikey poured himself a glass of milk and took his 'breakfast of champions' (Leo's name for it) toward his room. Noticing Mikey's dejected behavior, Raph followed him.
"Somethin' wrong, bro?"
Mikey shook his head and opened his bedroom door. "Just still tired, I guess. Kind of a slow morning."
Nodding at his brother's words, Raph gave him a small smile. "I think we're all a bit tired. Take it easy for a bit."
Mikey didn't respond and shut the door behind him. Rather than sit and possibly drop grease on his bed, Mikey opted to sit in his egg-shaped floating chair. He sat his glass of milk down on his desk and started eating his pizza.
"What the heck is going on today? Does no one respect the joy of a birthday anymore? No happy morning greetings with confetti, no pre-made breakfast...no pops. Where is he?"
Setting his empty plate on the desk, Mikey sipped his milk and used his left foot to push on the floor. His chair lightly swung as he mulled over his family's behavior that morning.
After some time had passed, Mikey was woken out of his light doze by a knock on his door. Rubbing his eyes, Mikey called out, "It's always open!"
Splinter entered the room, ears twitching as he beheld his youngest and smallest child alone in his room. That alone was not concerning. What bothered Splinter was that Mikey seemed to have been asleep instead of painting or drawing or writing something. Keeping one hand behind his back, the older rat shut the door and walked toward his son.
"May I ask why you are alone in here and not with your family out there?"
Shrugging, Mikey kept his toes on the floor to maintain a steady swing of his chair. His right leg was bent underneath his left, hands resting on it. "Not much going on out there, dad. Seemed more fun to do my own thing than be around those party poopers."
Frowning at his son's words, Splinter sat on the edge of the bed and held out a brightly-colored box. "Well, I hope this can lift your spirits, Orange. It's not much, but I hope you like it."
Eyes widening at the expertly-wrapped gift, Mikey took the box from Splinter's hands. It wasn't overly big, nor was it small. Mikey smiled and tore off the orange wrapping paper, removing the lid covering the box.
Inside was a small book. Mikey gently lifted the brown leather tome, noting the professional binding. In gold lettering were the Japanese characters for Hamato on the spine. Turning the book over, Mikey found that there was no description for any story. Looking up, he saw Splinter smiling at him.
"It is a journal. Tradition in my family is to pass one down to your son to write of his life and adventures. Seeing as I have four sons, I had to decide which of you to give it to." Splinter reached out and flipped the book over to the front cover, pointing to an engraving on the bottom right corner.
"I knew a long time ago that it would be given to you once you had reached the right age. Of all my sons, you are the most creative and open-minded. I had your name engraved with April's help a few years ago. I hope you may find some use for it."
Mikey didn't know what to say at first. So he sniffed and threw his arms around Splinter in a tight hug. "Thanks, dad! This is the best birthday present I've ever gotten!"
Splinter chuckled and patted Mikey's shell. "I am glad you think so, my son."
Pulling out of the hug, Splinter stood and headed toward the door. "Feel free to join us whenever you wish. Though I am sure you would rather use this time to use your present."
Mikey grinned and nodded, grabbing a pen from his desk drawer. "You bet, pops. I'll be out there for dinner and topside shenanigans."
Smiling softly, Splinter left the room and shut the door behind him.
Hours of writing/doodling later, Mikey shut his journal and got out of his chair. Stretching his stiff limbs, Mikey checked his phone and was shocked to see that he had indeed missed lunch and nearly dinner.
"Oopsie! Guess I should finally make an appearance." The young turtle, mood drastically improved, exited his room and headed to the kitchen.
"Hiya guys! Wassup?" Mikey's entrance was met with wide eyes.
"Mikey! Where have you been? Haven't seen you all day!" Leo pulled out a seat at the table beside him. "I was bored without you."
Grinning, Mikey sat beside Leo and piled the pasta onto his plate. Other than Mikey himself, Leo was the best cook when he needed to be.
"Sorry. Got distracted. Excited to head topside, though!"
"Oh... Yeah, about that. No one is going up top tonight."
Groans and protests were the responses to Raph's statement. The leader merely crossed his arms and shook his head. "According to the news, a large storm is coming in. We're not going out there. End of story."
Sighing in defeat, Mikey rested his chin on his fist. He twirled noodles around the tines of his fork. 'Well this sucks,' he thought.
Standing up and grinning, Leo addressed the room. "Fear not, brethren! I have a fantabulous plan!"
Donnie rolled his eyes. "This oughta be good."
Ignoring his twin, Leo went on. "We can have a skateboarding competition! Winner decides on dessert and movie."
Mikey's eyes lit up at the idea. If he won, he could demand cake and an awesome movie. Then they would have to celebrate his birthday and reveal whatever surprise they've been hiding.
"I'm in!"
The four turtle brothers later stood at the top of their indoor skate ramp, skateboards in hand. "Alright, bro-hames. Rules are simple. Do a trick. Stick the landing. Winner will be decided by majority votes." Leo looked at his brothers for understanding. After an affirmative nod or thumbs up from each, Leo designated himself as first up.
The turtle in blue skated down the ramp and flew up the other side, completing a flip before skating down to the bottom. He finished with a twirl and bowed with one foot on the board. The other three clapped at the performance before moving on. Leo stood beside the ramp, watching as Donnie did a similar trick, but instead landed on his hands rather than his feet. Impressive.
"Why don't you go next, Mikey?" Ralph suggested.
Mikey grinned. "Don't mind if I do." With a determined look on his face, Mikey kicked off the edge of the ramp. 'Gotta win. Gotta win. Gotta win.' This chant overtook Mikey's thoughts as he picked up speed. When he made it up the other side of the ramp, he was too distracted to realize his placement and instead of doing any kind of trick, he plummeted toward the bottom of the ramp.
CRASH!
"MIKEY!!" Three turtles surrounded their fallen brother. "Mikey, you ok?" Donnie immediately assessed his younger brother for injuries. When he saw the unnatural angle of Mikey's left ankle, he cringed.
"Ooh, that looks bad. I gotta get you checked out then bandaged."
Shaking and silent, Mikey held his leg. No words came to him. Nothing except, "Ruined! It's ruined!"
Raph lifted Mikey delicately. "Don't say that, bro. Don'll fix your foot good as new." With that, the brothers headed to the genius' lab.
Mikey refused to speak after that. He didn't make a sound the entire time Don poked and prodded his obviously broken ankle. Even after being treated with utmost care and gentleness, Mikey remained mute.
"You're all fixed, Mikey. Can't you say anything? Not even 'ow'?" Leo tried his best to coax any words out of the youngest, but failed. Sighing, he patted Mikey's head. "Some birthday, huh?"
Mikey looked at his brother in shock. "Y-You remembered?" Taken aback by his brother's voice, Leo blinked several times before responding.
"Of course I remembered! That's why I came up with the skateboarding competition. I know how much you were looking forward to being topside today. Sorry my plan sucked."
"No! No no, your plan was great! I just... I thought you guys all... forgot. Or were just messing with me to surprise me later."
Leo swallowed and sat beside Mikey. "I'm sorry, Mikey. I didn't forget, but the others might have... They haven't talked about it at all."
Heaving a sigh, Mikey looked at his bandaged foot. This birthday sucks. Seems like everything went wrong today. No special breakfast, no party, not even a cake!
"Hey, I just remembered. I have something for you. Be right back." With that, Leo got up and left the lab.
A few minutes later, Leo returned carrying a cake, followed by Raph and Donnie. Both had apologetic looks on their faces.
"I'm so sorry, Mikey. I wasn't thinking. I can't believe I forgot what today is." Raph looked devastated. He took pride in caring for his family. This whole situation hurt him.
Donnie looked just as upset. He sat next to Mikey and took his hand. "Bro... Why didn't you say anything? We could've had a party!" Then the genius in purple smacked his own forehead. "April's text makes more sense now! That's what she meant by 'when's the party '!"
The three older turtles gave Mikey pleading faces. "Can you forgive us, bro? We didn't mean to give you a terrible birthday." Leo held the cake out to Mikey, candles lit.
Glancing at each brother, seeing the love and regret in their eyes, Mikey slowly smiled. "Of course you're forgiven. I can't stay mad at you guys. Besides, you brought cake! How can I say no to that?"
Three huge smiles were given in response. "Alright then," Raph said. "Blow out your candles and make a wish, big guy."
Mikey blew out the candles. "I have everything I need already. My family. My friends. Personal butlers who will cater to my every whim to make up for my sucky birthday and broken ankle." At this, his smile turned into a smirk.
"Isn't that right?"
Raph decided to answer for the group. "Sure, bro. Just until your foot heals."
Nodding, Mikey opened his arms. "You may hug me now."
His brothers chuckled and hugged him tight. They'd never forget important days like this again.

Your MLDD boys life in AU with medieval setting. Let's enjoy~
#MrLoveDreamDate #fanfic #MidYearContest #AU
Why Is Everyone So Noisy?
Knock knock.
"My Lady, are you awake yet?"
What? It's already morning? Sigh. I should stop reading romance novel until midnight.
"My Lady, may I come?"
"Yes. I'm awake."
Ah. My eyes hurt. Did I overslept while reading book? No wonder my body is chilly since I'm not using my blanket properly.
"Oh my, are you reading until midnight again?"
"Shhh! Anna, keep your voice down. If dad found out he will yell at me again."
"You know that Duke is someone like that but you still dare to provoke him. I don't know if you're just a brave lady or simply an air headed."
I know that my dad is a scary person among nobility. Even The Royals don't dare to mess up with him. But still, live as a caged young lady like this isn't my style at all.
"My Lady, what time you sleep last night?"
"I don't really remember. What's wrong?"
"Not only your eyes are red, but your eyes also swollen. Your face looks so pale too"
"WHAAAAT?"
Drap drap.
No no no. Don't tell me...
Crap! Who is this horrible girl in the mirror? Is this really me? This is bad. If my dad found out he will start lecture me for hours!
"Aaaaaa. Anna, what should I do?"
"First you should wash your face. I will come back with cold water and towel. Also I will bring some camomile tea and breakfast."
"Anna, you're my angel!"
***
After wash my face and relax my body, now my face looks more like a human. What a beautiful life I have here.
Or not.
Braaaaakkkkk!!!
"MY LADY!! WE'RE IN TROUBLE NOW!!"
"Kiki, how can you act like that in front of your mistress? And don't be so harsh with the door."
"It's not the time to chit chat. Anna, you should dress up My Lady now. The Royals will come to our mansion!"
Give me some rest QwQ.
***
Just one line and everything start in hurry. Our mansion become so bussy since this morning because everyone rushed every preparation. In other room, Anna and Willow dolled me from head to toe. Just why The Royals come today.
"Willow, you're serving my dad this morning right? Aren't he supposed in the mine field now? Why The Royals suddenly come?"
"Sigh. That's something I want to know too. Our butler, Mr. Milles receive a letter from capital and told us that The Royals will come to have lunch with you and then like what you can see. Everyone is bussy like bees now."
"Me? Not my dad?"
"Yes. The letter said The Royals want to have lunch with you."
Did The Royals forgot what happened the last time they come without my dad knowledge? Are they bored enough and don't value their life to come here?
***
Time sure flies so fast. Just a while ago I wake up and now I should stand in front of my mansion door to greet our estimate guest.
Klotak klotak.
Oh, here they are. A dazzling carriage with royal knights in the left and right. Can they come more quietly? Why they always bring so many people here. 50 knights are too much.
Clack. Sound of carriage door open.
"Ah, Miss Chips~ Long time no see~"
A guy with blonde hair and blue eyes run over me with his warm smile. He open his arms wide like want to catch something.
"Kiro, stop that. Mind your behaviour in front of everyone."
"Then I can do it later in the private room?"
"That's not what I mean."
Another guy with brown hair and eyes grabbed blonde guy's collar while his another hand is in his waist.
"Thank you for visiting our mansion, your highnesses, Prince Gavin and Prince Kiro. It's been a while since the last time we meet."
"Ah..um. Yeah."
"What is that, Gavin? Why your face become red so suddenly?"
"Cough. It's the weather. We are on carriage for so long and it's so hot outside."
Someone from behind Gavin's back appeared and grab his shoulder.
"Well well. It can't be helped since our beloved Prince Gavin is so shy. Hoho~"
"Why are you also here Minor?"
"You won't stay for a hour if I'm not come along, your highness. Please let me help you. (whisper) Don't forget that I'm your cupid."
"Wha-?? Ehem. It seem you lack of works recently. I will give you more when we come back."
"Noooooo. Please spare me your highness!"
I'm so tired waiting for them in front of the door and when they will come in? My legs become numb since a long time ago. Can they continue their conversation when they're already in?
***
Now we are on the guest room and enjoy some tea with snacks. Ah, finally I can breath.
"Now now, Miss Chips. When will you spare your time for me? Since it's almost fall season I think scenery near the lake will be beautiful. How about we have a date there?"
Let me introduce them. He is the second prince, Kiro. He is so bright. Not only his face but also his personality. He is very populer among commoner as The Light of Loveland Kingdom.
"You will be a dead meat when you step out your feet with My Lady, don't you know?"
This serious face man is the first prince and Loveland Kingdom's crown prince, Gavin. He is a sword master and rumored as a cruel person. But actually he is kind and shy. People was misunderstood him because of his action and expression.
"You mean in the Duke hand or in your hand, your highness?"
"You're not allowed to talk here. If you need some friends to talk you can talk with the maids over there."
"How mean of you, your highness~"
And the last is Gavin attendant and his right hand man. Minor. I heard they are childhood friend. No wonder they are so close.
"So Miss Chips. How about my propose (date propose)?"
"Well, I should think about that again. I..."
BRAAAAKKK!!
Ah. It's a nightmare. Devil just come to this room. I can tell it from the sound of the door. RIP the door. May God bless you.
"Propose? I never hear a funny joke like this in my entire life."
Yes. That's my dad. The hellish duke. At your service.
"Ah, Duke Victor. It's not like what you think."
"Ho. You know what am I thinking? Let me hear then."
Minor, I apreciate your loyalty to your master but you should stop it right here. I don't want to see any bloodshet in front of my eyes.
"Don't be so furious, father in law. You make them scared."
This voice. Don't tell me.
"Who is your father in law?"
"Lucien? You're also here?"
"Yes, My Lady. How can I miss an interesting event like this, right?"
"Don't! Ignore! Me!"
Duke Victor is my dad. He is called as 'Hellish Duke from The North' by people in capital. Just one word from him and everyone will silent. But I think that not work sometime.
"Duke, your face have more wrinkles than usual. Look at me and give us more smile ^^"
"Asdfghjkl!!!!!"
Lucien is my dad co-worker. A young and brilliant nobel. Our family is a business partner since generations ago.
"How have you been this last days, My Lady? I miss you so much."
Chuuu~
My bad, I forgot to put the word 'sly' in Lucien introduction. No one dare to come close to me, not even mention kiss my palm except him.
"YOU!!!"
"Duke, this is a costume. I just pay my respect to My Lady. Or did you think anything else? ^^"
His sly face is beyond your imagination. You can't tell what Lucien is really thinking.
"Stop with your nonsense and release my daughter hand right now. You fox!"
"Hm. It's too bad that your scary dad is here. We can continue it when we're alone, right My Lady?"
"Errr. I think it will be difficult."
"My Lady, are you worried about me? It's okay. If he value his business then he shouldn't do anything to me. At least now."
"I regret sign a contract with someone like you."
"Fufu~ Like what I said before. If you terminate our contract then you should give your most beloved to me as a compensation. I hope you not forget about it."
"You fox. Don't come any closer to my daughter!"
"It's okay anyway. We can still be together even if you not terminate our contract. Right, father in law?"
"SAY THAT AGAIN IF YOU DARE!!"
Again. Lucien and my dad just play run and chase while using me as their wall. Are they still in kindergarten or what?
"Miss Chips! What did Lucien mean by that? Are you going to marry him? No waaay..."
Kiro, please. It will be a miracle if I can go out my mansion,.don't even mention anout marriage. I don't think I can marry in my entire life.
"Your highness are you okay? Hang in there bro! Gavin? Hello? Don't stand like that you make me scared."
Poor Minor. He is swaying his hand toward Gavin many times but it seem Gavin has lost in his own thought. At least Gavin not noisy like the other. But is he okay? He is standing like a rock for a while until now.
"How can you marry someone else. How about our promise when we are kid, Miss Chips?"
"Gavin? Bro? Breath! Don't die! Broooo!!"
"...."
"We can live together. 3 of us in my mansion. I will prepare the master room for you beside my room and My Lady so you won't be alone, Duke."
"I should sold my soul to demon instead to fallen angel like you."
Did everyone forget our purpose gathering here today? To be honest I'm hungry. I mean I need more than enough energy to play with these people.
"Anna. How is the preparation for lunch?"
"It's already finished. But My Lady, you should do something about them first."
"Like I ever success do that. Can anyone replace me and stand here? I'm done with this."
That was my daily life. A caged nobel lady who has super protective dad because I always surrounded by noisy handsome men.
Murmuring "Should I accept proposal from neighbooring prince we get last week?"
"NO WAY!!"
What? They can hear me? Did my voice come out? Sometimes these 4 people can be in harmony too, huh?
***
[My Lady, if you want to live a free life please give me your hand in marriage. I will ensure no one will disturb us here.
From your secret admirer.
Horseman♡]
========================================
Omake
17 years ago, at the Duke Victor household.
"I want to marry daddy when I grow up!"
"Why you want to marry me?"
"Because daddy is so handsome, smart and rich!"
"Dummy. You can't marry your dad. If you grow up later you should look to someone worth like me. Although I guess you can't find a better man than me."
***
Present day, at the garden.
"My Lady, I heard you like someone who is handsome, smart and rich?"
"Where did you heard something like that, Lucien?"
"It just a coincidence. Although I'm from a marquessate household, actually I'm richer than you father. You know when your family in the blink of bankruptcy 10 years ago our family make an agreement that...."
Bonk.
"Ow. It's hurt. Who is that throwing book to someone else head?"
"LU-CI-EN!!"
"Oh, Duke. How are you? ^^"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU FOX!"
