Twenty-Sixth Hacking

[evers_hacker]

[Today wasn't a good day for April. When the drone husband (he looks like Hatter, but he's not) said something about a 'mother's day', she knew she wasn't going to like this. And then she listened over the phones, and having gathered an understanding of what mother's day is, she briefly saw red and nearly broke the phone in her grip. A day to

[ No one seems to be answering today, but soon a little mewl can be heard from behind the corner of the house, a familiar kitty face soon peeking from its hiding place and giving another meow.

If you decide follow the cat, you'll find Shizuo lying on a blanket he has laid down in the backyard to bask in the sun. Since opportunities like these were rare in Tokyo, he had to make use of one of the few good things of Mayfield. ]

[April blinks and smiles at the cat, and her natural curiosity and 'eee kitty! *u*' lead to her following it.

When she spots Shizuo, she can't help but smile slightly and a part of her doesn't want to disturb him. Which is why she's a bit hesitant to speak up.] ... Um, h-hey, Shizuo.

[shizychan]

[ The kitty goes to push its masters head a few times, making the man stir slightly but it's only when he hears April's voice, does he actually get up to sit. ]

... Hi, I didn't know you were coming. [ He's more confused than anything else. ] What's up?

[evers_hacker]

[She gives a sheepish laugh, feeling a bit awkward about suddenly dropping by like this.] Ah, sorry about disturbing you. It's just, um, I made cake earlier and I just wondered if you would want any...

[shizychan]

[ ... It's like something just snaps inside of him, making him act more enthusiastic than usual. ] Cake, huh? Sounds good.

[evers_hacker]

[April blinks, clearly she underestimated his sweet-tooth, before her expression gets a bit more of its usual cheerfulness.] Aha, it's a chocolate one and it was kinda my first time making one, but it shouldn't be too bad.

[She lifts the bag, which has the box carrying the cake, up slightly.] I've, um, already cut it, so, um...

[shizychan]

[ He follows the cake box with his eyes. ] How about we eat it outside?

[ And then he gets ready to head inside. ] You want something to drink with it? I can go and get some lemonade, if you want.

[evers_hacker]

[April grins slightly and gives him a nod.] Okay!

[She finally gets brave enough to take a few steps into the backyard, before she blinks at him... She kinda has no idea what lemonade is, but she still gave him another nod.] Mhm, sounds good.

[shizychan]

Okay, wait a moment. [ And with that, he's off to inside to get some... drinks and plates.

Shizuo so bouncy. ]

[evers_hacker]

[April can't help but blink again in slight surprise. He's acting... rather enthusiastic. She did like seeing him in a good mood, b-but it was still kinda odd.

Still, she waits outside and pushes away her confusion for now.]

[shizychan]

[ He returns carrying a tray with him, placing it down on the blanket and sitting down himself then, patting April to sit next to him. ]

[evers_hacker]

[And so April goes down to sit next to him. She places the bag in front of them and pulls out the cake box, which she opens up. The cake, which is already cut into 6 slices, is really basic, but luckily the taste should be alright.]

[shizychan]

[ He pours some lemonade for the two of them, handing April's glass for her. ] There you go.

[evers_hacker]

Ah, thank you. [She takes the glass and blinks at the lemonade, before taking a sip and gives a quiet, happy hum at the taste and takes another gulp.

After sipping at some of her drink, she reaches for the plates so she can serve the cake.]

[shizychan]

So, how has your day been? [ Follows the cake serving with his eyes. * _ * ]

[evers_hacker]

[Note to self: show him a cake whenever he gets pissed off er-ANYWAY, April frowns slightly at the question, but doesn't falter with the cake serving; earlier today was the first time in a while she had felt truly angry, or at least pretty damn close to it, so today didn't start out too great.

Buuuuuut, she isn't going to mention that, so she gives a small shrug as she hands Shizuo his cake.] It's been okay, I guess. How about you?
