[Mushverse, mostly for Liveman family] Throwing Kamen Rider Gaia into the mix

[hotshotlightning]

The parents are finally in bed and I sigh in relief as I hear the light get switched off. It's about time, I thought they were never coming up. I just need to wait a bit now, give them time to go to sleep before I do this. Eventually though, I get out of bed and make my way downstairs, careful to avoid the creaky stairs.

I should probably tell them I'm working with Gaia and EYES now, but they'd just try to talk me out of it and I need to do this, for any number of reasons; getting paid is only one of them. I rummage inside my bag and pull out the envelope before heading into the kitchen. That's where Megumi keeps her purse and she does the groceries so she gets more. There's a lot of us to feed, after all, and I know she worries about it, even if she won't admit it in front of us. I split the rest of the wages between Jou and Yuusuke before ripping up the envelope and dropping it in the bin.

There. All sorted for the week. I dust my hands off in satisfaction and head back to bed.

I stick my tongue out as I get to my feet. "I won't, but only because Megumi is scarier than you are."

"You bet your ass she is," I say fervently. "Terrifies me. And if you upset her, you'll have both of us to answer to." I wag a finger, only teasing. He does not upset Megumi. He's a good kid.

Perfectly happy to terrify or worry the crap out of me or Yuusuke, though.

"Like I'd be that stupid," I snort, almost out the door. I don't really like worrying Jou or Yuusuke - most of the time, anyway, no matter what they think - but upsetting Megumi is the last thing I would want to do.

Well, except for going back to the lab I was in when I first arrived on this planet, that's probably the last thing I would want to do, ever, period. But upsetting Megumi comes right before that.

"You've done stupider things," I say in a dire kind of way, but considering I don't actually have anything in mind, I yawn and let it drop.

"I love you. Next time tell me immediately when you're doing something like this. Get some sleep, idiot," I call after him.

I'm just out the door when he comes out with that and I stick my head back around in outrage. "When did I?" I demand, scowling at him. Getting kidnapped - any of the times - doesn't count, those aren't things I did deliberately.

"Go to bed!" I protest. "I can't think of anything right now, but I'll have a ten page essay written for you by the morning."

Re: Indeed. :D

[hotshotlightning]

"I'm going, I'm going," I protest. "You're the one throwing accusations like that around."

And I'll bet he'll have an essay but ten pages is a massive underestimate.

"Yup, that's me, Mr Accuser," I say, rolling my eyes at him. "Really, Katsumi. You do make things up. Scoot."

[hotshotlightning]

Oh, that does it. Unfortunately the only projectile I have to hand is a tissue. A scrunched up one, though, which means it should have some potential...

I flick it in his direction before scooting out the room.
