“Oh, there you are, James” Minerva said with a smile as she twirled around the island, this billowing intensely pleated gold skirt fluttering around her legs with a tucked in bloused black blouse with long belled sleeves and a matching gold robe overtop, still…intensely overdressed as I’ve come to understand that she does. “We were wondering when you were going to get up, luckily you’re still not the last one.”
“I’m not?” I asked, feeling a little self-conscious without a jacket or anything on that I could hide myself in a bit.
“Barny is up, he’ll be here in a few minutes” Adora said as she got a green/purple mug from the cabinet with a large gold A on it, tucking it into the wall sunken coffee mug.
“I was wondering when you were joining us” Raven’s voice said as I felt her shoulder on my back as she walked past, still dressed in her black pajamas, her black hair falling loose around her shoulders and onto her chest in intense waves from the braid it had been in.
“I’m sorry about last night, I didn’t know I was that tired” I said, she laughed softly as she softly patted my head, hand on my cheek.
“Don’t worry, you’re not heavy or anything, plus you needed the sleep” she added as she got a matching mug to Adora’s, though black and red with a large gold R on it as she tucked it into the machine as Adora ducked under the taller Raven’s arm to get her full one as Raven hit the buttons on it.
“Dad’s outside, should be in soon too” Adora added
“How are you always so bubbly this early?” A voice asked, groggy, low and drowsy, maybe a bit annoyed too as someone trudged past me.
“Holy shit, he’s alive” Raven said with a laugh
“Fuck you, Ray” he said as he sat at the counter, resting his face down on it before soon after, a mug of tea was slid in front of him also in a custom mug, he’s an average height guy, maybe an inch taller than me, quite pale and sparely freckled with this messy, lived in flop of black hair that hung over his eye and thin brows, slightly sunken dark eyes with some slight dark circles under them, softly pointed ears and a touch baby-faced with slightly fuller features, but, quite narrow and thin, but…maybe a little fidgety by the way his feet tapped at the foot-bar of the stool, dimples like Raven and Minerva, but dressed in black joggers and a black hoodie with a spade near the top that said World’s Okay-est Asexual across it, hot pink tunnels in his gauged ears and a silver ring in his left nostril, nails a little long and painted black and his toenails were even painted black too.
“And when you get some caffeine you won’t be as murderous as you usually are” she added as she patted his head a touch rough sounding by how his hair moved around his head .
“Morning, family and friend!” Quiney said as he bounded into the kitchen from the outdoor balcony, they told me to call them Minerva and Quincey and not Mr. and Mrs, though Quincey’s name is Quinten, but prefers the short form. He was dressed in robes as usual in dark purples and greens as a very large, wide and shallow basket was on his hip with some things in it as he set them on the island. “How are you feeling, James, Raven mentioned that you were staying the night.” He asked
“Oh, I’m fine, thank you so much for letting me crash here.” I said, he brushed it off as he walked over to Minerva’s side as they two and Sulk were quickly getting a very, very extensive breakfast ready.
“Nonsense, any friend of any of our children are friends of ours and you need not an excuse to get away from your awful, awful parents.” Quincey said
“Yeah…about that.” I said as I rested my arms on the island.
“Coffee?” Raven asked
“Please”
“How do you take it?” she asked
“Black, like my soul.” I said making her laugh
“You were saying?” Quiney asked
“My parents are under the impression that I told you something…or did something to make you like yell at my father.” I said, he sighed
“James…someone blind would be able to tell that your father is terrible.” He said, I laughed softly
“Thank you for taking my side, but…I don’t think it would be possible for me to convince them otherwise.” I said
“Maybe you should have Ray escort you back, she is very…very persuasive” Minerva said, softly gripping Raven’s shoulder as she was standing at the coffee machine.
“And if they have any problems…please, you always have a space here.” Quiney added
“Can I ask a question?” I asked
“Go ahead” Minerva said
“Why…why are all of you so…nice to me and so…eager to help me?” I asked
