[Mushverse: Liveman Family and JK - Dinner Time for Realsies]

[gibken]

[OOC: for post order, I was thinking something along the lines of Joe-Kazari-Gai-Jou-Megumi-Yuusuke-Katsumi-JK repeat. If that's okay. If it's not, or if I forgot someone, or whatever, just shout at me. :D]

As I usher JK to the table, I remind myself to write heartfelt thank you notes to Gai and Megumi for cooking. They really didn't have to, I would have figured something out, but Gai loves being in the kitchen and Megumi likes it when I'm smiling, so I figure that's why they did it. Still, I owe them majorly.

Adding one more person to the table doesn't make it overly crowded, but I made sure JK's chair is close enough to mine that our legs will touch when we're sitting. I can be crafty sometimes too.

First things first, though, as everyone else slowly gathers around the table.

"Right, okay. So, this is my family. Um, you know my dad Jou, from school, right? And this is my other dad, Yuusuke, and my mom Megumi. And you know Gai from the door, and Kazari from when I was sick? And maybe Katsumi from school. Yeah. Everyone, this is my boyfriend JK." I don't even stutter over the b-word this time, I deserve a medal.

[Mushverse; for Tetsuya & Jou]

It's such a nice day outside that I can help fussing around in the garden. It's still too early to bring anything in for dinner, but I can keep the bugs off my young vegetables and the weeds away from my herbs. Tetsuya's beating on something out back; either he's chopping wood or he's murdering something, I can't really tell beyond the swing of an ax and his occasional curses wafting from the backyard to the front. I hope he doesn't aggravate his knee again.

Once the sun starts to think about setting I head back inside, pondering what to fix for dinner as I wash the garden from my hands. There's still some chicken that I should do something with before it goes bad, but I'd like to do something with the fish Tetsuya caught this morning. Maybe I can grill up an assortment of meats and vegetables, then we can have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
