YGO 5D’s: Birds of A Feather - Chapter 2
The sky wakes up with a light of sunshine, along with Yusei and Akiza from their peaceful slumber. The black-haired man turns in bed, face to face with his lovely wife.
“Hello gorgeous” He kisses her on the cheek, making her smile upon him.
“Good morning.” She says softly, slowly laying back to rest. Both of them have the day off, so it’s nice to sleep this time. After another hour Akiza gets up from bed, checks the other bedroom and then went downstairs to the kitchen. Tying her hair back, she starts making breakfast, mixing the ingredients together in a large bowl. Cooking the pancakes in a pan, a young figure starts walking down the stairs, smelling the aroma of what he considers yumminess. Just over three years old, he struggles to get up to the counter to see what his mother is doing.
“What are you cooking mama?” The little boy asks, barely able to look over the counter with his step stool.
“Pancakes.” Akiza answers with a warm smile, happily humming while cooking.
“Pa-ancakkes?” The son says it to himself, although Akiza heard him and nodded.
The woman sets up the table for breakfast, putting out a plateful of pancakes right in the middle.
“Yummy! When are we eating mama?” The boy jumps up and down in excitement, getting ready to sit on one of the chairs. Akiza chuckles on the boy’s silliness as he drools all over the table, but moves him to the stool chair for toddlers.
“Not right this minute. Wait till your father gets down here.” She was about to walk up the stairs to check on him, only seeing him walking down from the upper floor with a baby in his arms.
“Hey dada!”
“Morning Odin,” Yusei sees his son and wife by the dining table. “Sorry honey. What did I miss?” Yusei walks over to Akiza and gives her a peck on the lips.
“Nothing really. Breakfast is ready though.”
“Alright. Got the baby food ready?”
“Yep.” Akiza took hold of the infant and puts her on the baby stool. “There you go, Chelsea. All nice and comfy?”
She cooes at the baby, as the little one looks around out of curiousity, making little vocal noises. Akiza gets the baby food ready as Yusei helps Odin and himself with the pancakes, cutting Odin’s into little pieces.
“Alright little Chelsea, say ahh.” Akiza demonstrates by opening her mouth, hoping for the daughter to open hers too. Afterwards she opens her mouth in a little “o” shape, enough time for the mother to put the food in, scooping off some on her face that didn’t make it in. Odin stabs one of his pancake piece with his little soft plastic fork and shoves it in his mouth, chewing it very loudly, not that it minds the parents. The boy finally swallows.
“How come there are booborries in my pondcakes?” Odin asks with a disgraceful look, obviously not liking the blueberries in his pancakes.
“Because it makes it tasty. And healthier.” Yusei states as he cuts a piece and takes a bite.
“But it tastes weird.”
“Just eat it Odin. It’s good for you.” Akiza finishes her bite and continues feeding Chelsea, not seeing the pouty look the boy has on his face, crossing his arms. The doorbell rings, making Odin turn around to see who’s at the door. Yusei gets up and answers the door, seeing an orange-haired man with a bag in his hands, smiling with glee.
“Special delivery!”
Odin recognizes the voice, and turns all the way around to see him from his seat. “Uncle Crow!”
“Crow. Didn’t expect to see you here this early. How’s it going?”
“Ah you know, the usual.” Crow walks in and drops the bag off at their table, next to Odin. “Not much has been going on lately. Gets really boring.”
“Well I’m glad you stopped by,” Akiza gets up to hug Crow. “We haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Odin reaches his arms out for Crow, making grunts as he tries to get up from his seat.
“It has been a while, huh, time flies by without notice. So how your kids? They should be behaving well.”
“They’re doing great. Chelsea seems to like my sweet potato baby food I made. Unlike Odin she’s not much of a picky eater.”
“Sweet potato huh?” The conversation continues with the adults as Odin still tries to get Crow’s attention, reaching out to him as he is already exhausted from trying to get up. “Crow…”
“And good morning to you too Odin! How are your pancakes?” He ruffles the boy’s hair for the fun, as Odin didn’t mind his messy hair being any messier
“I don’t like them.”
“You don’t like them!? But they’re pancakes. Who doesn’t like pancakes???”
Yusei and Akiza chuckles. “Apparently a kid who doesn’t like blueberries on his pancakes.”
“Oh…” Crow looks down at the toddler, scratching his head on the situation. “But still! It’s delicious! Ok well in that case…” He grabs the bag he brought and takes out a jelly-filled donut. “You can have this.”
Odin gasps in happiness, his eyes glitter with joy as he grabs hold of the donut.
“What do you say Odin?” Akiza makes sure he has his manners.
“Thank you!”
“No prob kiddo!” He stretches his arms out, seeing Odin digging in on the donut. He takes out another donut for the Fudo couple. “Want one?”
“Uhh no thanks”
“We’re good, thanks.”
“Suit yourself!” Crow gobbles down the donut in delight.
“I just hope you don’t do this often. Spoiling the kids would be one of the last things I want you to do.” Yusei sweatdrops just thinking about the consequences.
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
“Good,” Akiza finds little relief. “Only do so when you have kids of your own.”
Crow went silent for a moment. “If only I could.”
“What do you mean ‘if’? I think you mean ‘when’.”
“There’s no guarantee. I might as well adopt the whole orphanage.” Crow sits on the furniture and slurps on his soft drink loudly, running out of juice from his cup.
“Don’t say that Crow.” Akiza looks at Crow with a moderate smile. “I’m sure you’ll find a special someone. I just know it.”
“And when you do I’ll do the honors of spoiling them. For friend’s sake.” Yusei says jokingly.
Crow chuckles. “Yeah, I guess. I think I’m getting too old though.”
“Pfft. You’re no where close to old. You’re not believing what Jack said to you, are you?” Yusei asks in somewhat a serious manner. Crow just glances at him.
“Of course not, but I just hit my 30’s. And people are known to have a family with a younger age… like you!” He gestured at Yusei and Akiza, who do have children as they are in their 30’s now.
“Not everyone has a family within that age, some of them even older. Besides it’s not too late to start a family. Take your time. It’ll be worth it.” Akiza points out, leaning against Yusei after finishing her sentence.
“You guys always encourage me, don’t ya?” Crow looks at the two again, giving out a smile.
“Of course.”
“...Welp,” Crow gets up from the furniture, getting ready to leave. “It’s either trying or Jack continues calling me the “V” word for the rest of my life. Anyway, gotta go to work.”
“Alright. Thanks for stopping by.”
“Always a pleasure.” Crow walks out the door, Yusei following along to close the door behind him. He walks to his Blackbird and got on, putting his helmet on and drove on the way to Sector Security for another day at work.
