• An Ooting! •

"Mama. Papa. Hold my hand." Anya said as she reached for both their hands. Yor and Loid nodded in comparison and held Anya's hand. Yor smiled at Anya. "So Anya, where do you wanna go?" Loid looked down at Anya who was marching on the ground. "I wanna go.. I wanna go get peanuts!" Anya's eyes sparked. Yor smiled again and laughed. "Oh Anya, will you ever want to buy something that isn't peanuts?" She said. "Mama, peanuts are my life." Anya said in a serious voice and Yor nodded awkwardly.

They walked into the store bought a bag of peanuts, only enough for Anya. Loid also picked a bag of carrots too. "Papa, I hate carrots." Anya narrowed her eyes and her smile immediately drooped down. "Anya, you can't just eat peanuts for the rest of your life." Loid sighed. Anya looked away from Loid angrily. "Oh Anya, you want to eat healthy so you can be strong! Like Mr. Chimera!" Yor encouraged Anya. "HMM.. You are right mama! Mr. Chimera is so strong." Anya responded back happily and Yor smiled. Loid looked at the two and cracked a smile too.

'What is this strange feeling?' Loid said as he paid for the peanuts and carrots. Loid had almost forgot about the mission once or twice. The three walked out of the store and explored the place. Of course, Anya stopped by a store for a Spy Wars figure. "Don't you have enough toys, Anya?" Loid said. His eyes were directed down at the price tag, 300 dalc.

"Nope! I need Spy Wars toy! You never gave me the silenced pistol I wanted." Anya pouted and crossed her arms. "Perhaps you could look for something else? This is too expensive.." Loid said, still looking down at the price tag. "Don't worry, Loid! I can pay!" Yor said, taking out her wallet. She took out 300 dalc and placed it on the counter for the Spy Wars toy.

"You didn't need to do that, Yor.." Loid said in a forgiving voice. "Ah, it's fine Loid! It's nice to have me pay once in a while. You already work a lot so I just wanted you to have a break from paying for everything!" Yor smiled. Loid looked at her and smiled back. This smile felt real, though. He felt as if he was.. happy. "Mama and papa are flirting." Anya stared up at the two as she held her toy. "We are not!" Thye both turned red and said it in comparison. They walked out the store and visited a couple more, then went home.

"Well.. I'm drained.." Loid slouched as he plopped on to the couch. Yor was carrying Anya, who was already asleep. "I'm gonna.. put Anya to bed.." Yor yawned as she walked to Anya's room and laid her in the bed. Yor put a blanket over Anya and was about to leave. She looked back at Anya who was sleeping peacefully, then walked back to Anya.

"Goodnight, Anya." Yor crouched down and pecked Anya on the forehead then smiled. 'It's nice to go out with the family sometimes.' Yor thought to herself as she walked out of the room. She then walked to her room and went to bed.

Loid also walked to his room and headed to bed. He smiled thinking about what happened in the day. "Maybe having a family isn't so bad.." he said to himself. He was happy that he got to spend time with his family instead of doing missions. But tomorrow, Anya had to go back to school.

"Is this what a real family feels like?"
