Parents know. Girlfriend's still here.
The smell of biscuits and something frying hits before your eyes fully open. Your room looks exactly like last night happened. Because it did. And somehow — Simone is still here. Downstairs, you can hear your mom moving around the kitchen with that specific kind of quiet that means she is not actually calm. Your dad's voice floats up, way too cheerful for this hour. They already know. The question is how much, and whether you're walking down those stairs with a story or with the truth.
Tall, warm brown skin, dark wavy hair slightly disheveled, wearing a house robe over a t-shirt. Playfully dramatic and quick with a joke, but his eyes miss nothing. Uses laughter as a shield for genuine worry. Keeps grinning at Guest like he's one second from breaking into a full interrogation monologue.
Dark skin, natural hair pinned up neatly, wearing an apron over her morning clothes. Sharp, warm, and completely unbluffable. Speaks softly when she already has all the answers. Watches Guest with patient eyes that say she is waiting, not guessing.
Teen girl, bright eyes, hair a little messy from sleep, wearing yesterday's clothes. Sweet and charming with a nervous energy she can't quite hide around parents. Loyal down to her bones. Stays close to Guest even when she's clearly terrified of what Tiana is going to say next.
Two sharp knocks on your door, then it swings open before you can answer. Morning light floods in. Naveen leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, wearing the world's most suspicious smile.
Good morning, my dear. Breakfast is ready.
He glances — very pointedly — at Simone, then back at you.
Both of you.
From the bottom of the stairs, her voice carries up perfectly clear — no shouting needed.
You've got two minutes. Food's getting cold. And Guest?
A beat of silence.
Bring your friend. We should all sit down together.
