Natsuki: I'm Home~!
After a successful? Date with Kaneki, Natsuki returned home completely satisfied.
Katsuki: Welcome home Natsuki, how was your date with Kaneki?
Natsuki: It was fun Mom! We played in the park's playground, got some drinks, played with some kindergarteners, ate at a ramen shop and then we went to Akuma Castle and made a new design to his Omega Knight-Oh form!
Katsuki: Huh?
Natsuki's Mom was very surprised after hearing what her daughter and Kaneki had been doing the entire day.
Katsuki: That's... Oh who am I kidding? Did you have fun with Kaneki-kun though? That's one of the most important thing in a date.
Natsuki: Nod! Yeah! It was so much fun!
Seeing her daughter make such a bright smile touched Katsuki's heart.
Katsuki: Hehe~ I'm happy Natsuki-chan found a wonderful boy- no a wonderful future husband.
Natsuki: Mom! Don't tease me!
Katsuki: Hehe~ Sorry. But remember Natsuki, you'll be sharing Kaneki-kun with your friends. So you have to make sure he loves you a lot, okay?
Natsuki: Hehe~! It's alright! Kaneki can love us all equally! I know that very well!
Katsuki: Good. I'll trust him on that.
Natsuki: Well then! I'll go take a bath and change clothes.
Natsuki then happily walked up the stairs and to her room to grab a change of clothes.
A few minutes later~
Splash!
Natsuki: Haa~ Nothing like a cool bath after a fun yet hot date outside!
After showering, Natsuki took a dip on the bathtub filled with cool water.
Natsuki: Kaneki was so cute the entire time, and I was even called his future bride...
Natsuki was so happy being able to see Kaneki having a cute face the entire time, and the fact she was called his future bride a few times.
But there was one thing that couldn't escape her mind.
Natsuki: Hmm...
"S-Shino, Yuuka and Miku... Are ready..."
The moment where she confronted Kaneki, he had a very nervous face but when he said that Shino, Yuuka and Miku were ready she had only one assumption.
Natsuki: They are ready to accept his feelings, but...
She hadn't noticed it immediately because of her assumption, but she did noticed something strange with Kaneki's reaction.
Natsuki: Why did he looked surprised when I said that? And Kaneki looked worried when I confronted. Why is that?
Natsuki didn't understand, so she looked back at her memory of that time and studied the colors of Kaneki's soul at that moment.
Kaneki: The colors of fear and anxiety appeared when he mentioned their names, could it be he's afraid of losing them? No that can't be, those three loves him a lot... What could it be?
She wanted to know the reason, but decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.
Natsuki: Sigh~ Oh well I'll just ask him tomorrow.
Knock! Knock!
Katsuki: Natsuki! It's me!
Natsuki: What is it Mom?
Katsuki: After you're done could you help me out with buying groceries?
Natsuki: Sure!
Katsuki: Thanks you sweetie.
With her mother asking Natsuki to help her out, she quickly finished cleaning herself so she could join her.
A few minutes later~
Natsuki: Alright! Time to help Mom!
Meanwhile~
While Natsuki was going to help her Mom out on buying groceries, Kaneki was bonding with his Step-Mom.
Kaneki: It was really fun, despite us not having a plan haha~
Aiya: Haha~ I'm glad you had fun dear.
Kaneki: Yeah. By the way, where's Papa, Onee-chan and Miku? I haven't seen them since I got back.
Aiya: They're out shopping for ingredients for tonight's dinner.
Kaneki: Ahh~ I see... Hmm...
Aiya: What's wrong? Having trouble keeping the conversation going?
Kaneki laughed shyly as his step mother noticed him having trouble regarding their conversation.
Kaneki: Yeah... Sorry.
Aiya: It's alright, I know you just want to keep on talking with me. So what about this? Let's talk about love?
Kaneki: L-Love?!
He was caught off guard after his step-mom suggested they talk about love.
Aiya: Yes. I mean you are in love with that Natsuki Mizutani girl, Sachi, Shino, Miku, Yuuka and Chi-chan right?
Kaneki: Y-Yeah... I am... Wait you approve of me being in love with Miku?
Aiya: Yup. She was clearly in love with you as well.
Kaneki: She was?!
Aiya: Yup! I honestly supported it since you two aren't blood related anyways.
Kaneki: I mean. Yeah we're not blood related, but we were siblings for most of our lives. How can she develop feelings for me?
Aiya: I guess it was because you saved her when she was consumef by despair.
Kaneki: Wait what?
Aiya: You remember it don't you? Before we became family, you saved Miku after she ran away and was intending to freeze to death.
Kaneki: Oh yeah... I did.
Aiya: That's one of the reasons why Miku and the others are in love with you, you're very kind to them and even saved them when they're in trouble. Honestly I bet when Shiita-chan, Miyu-chan and Miha-chan are in love with you as well.
Kaneki: Wait-
Kaneki was a bit surprised after hearing those names, until he remembered she was still under hypnosis.
(That's right, Aiya-Mama's memories were altered by Onee-chan's hypnosis so she see's Shino, Yuuka, Miku and Shiita-chan, Miyu-chan, Miha-chan as completely different people.)
Kaneki: Shino, Yuuka and Miku are-
(Oh crap!)
Kaneki almost told their real identities to his step-mom, but luckily he was able to stop himself and from doing that and said a different truth.
Kaneki: Are really cute huh?
Aiya: Oh my being able to say that with confidence, way to go Kaneki!
Kaneki: Hehe~
(Good I saved it!)
Kaneki: Natsuki, Sachi and Chi-chan are also very cute. I must be really in love huh?
As Kaneki was relieved that he was able to prevent himself from telling Aiya about their real identities and continued with their love talk.
Aiya: Yup! By the way why don't you and Miku prepare dinner for tonight?
Aiya suddenly suggested that he and Miku should make dinner together.
Kaneki: What? Why us?
Aiya: Well it's a good opportunity for you two to get closer.
(Well Aiya-Mama is right, we are already close so getting even closer does sound good)
Kaneki: Actually... Yeah that sounds good I'm in.
Aiya: Awesome! Now then-
Slam!
All 3: We're home~
Atsuo, Kotori and Miku have arrived after a successful shopping trip.
Miku: Oh Onii-chan you're home, how was your date with Natsuki?
Kaneki: Surprisingly it went well, we had fun.
Miku: Good for you!
Kotori: Hmm?
Kotori couldn't help but notice that Kaneki and Aiya were beside each other, so she asked what they were up to.
Kotori: What were you up to?
Aiya: Oh it's nothing, just a casual Mother and Son cha-
While Aiya was trying to hide their love talk.
Kaneki: We were talking about love.
Kaneki just outright told them.
Atsuo: Ohh~ Don't give our son any strange ideas, dear.
Aiya: I wouldn't do something like that!!!
Miku: Blush~
Miku was surprised that Kaneki and their mother had a love talk, she started blushed as result.
Miku: Did you two.
Kaneki: Yeah we talked about you Miku as well.
Miku: Blush~!
Miku's face turned red after hearing Kaneki say that.
Kaneki: Oh yeah! We also decided that you and I should cook dinner for tonight.
Miku: WHAT?!
With that, Kaneki and Miku were now going to cook dinner together.
