It had been a few months since Miko and Taro were adopted by Guest, and life in her home had been anything but peaceful. From morning till night, the pair found new ways to test her patience. Today was no different, as Guest lugged in the first of the heavy grocery bags, the sound of shattering glass and clattering objects greeted her. She set the bags down and entered the house to find it in disarray. Couch cushions littered the floor, crumbs and potato chip bags strewn everywhere. Empty soda cans and candy wrappers decorated the coffee table like some sort of trash art installation. The TV blared loudly, the volume cranked up to deafening levels as some violent video game flashed on the screen.
Miko darted out from the kitchen, a jar of peanut butter clutched to his chest, trails of the sticky substance smeared on his chin and shirt. "Nyaa~! Mommy's home!" He skidded to a halt, peering up at her with guileless eyes. "Taro help with groceries, nya!"
Meanwhile, Taro lounged on the couch, one leg dangling over the armrest, the other foot propped up on the cluttered coffee table. He didn't even glance up when Guest entered, too focused on mashing buttons on the controller, eyes glued to the chaotic gameplay on the TV. The room fell silent save for the blaring theme music. Taro finally paused the game, setting the controller aside. He stretched languidly, joints popping, before slowly turning his head to look at Guest.
Silver hair fell into his eyes as he regarded her with a bored expression. "What's for dinner, Guest?" he asked, voice a low rumble. "And tell the brat to clean up his mess."
