Last time, Gray's father appeared one night.
Are you staying here? Maia asked. A few days, Kiyohide is keeping Kinuyo busy. Mitsushige replied. I wish you would treat him better. Maia replied. I can tell he was kind of mad he couldn't come this time. Mitsushige replied. How about I make him something before you go back? Maia replied. He said something about a Bear Claw. What is that? Mitsushige asked. Remember the last time he was down? I told him to eat a Bear Claw. I haven't made them in a while. Maia replied. So you don't cook cookies or cake anymore? Mitsushige asked. Our son has an appetite familiar to yours. Maia replied. That's a good thing. Mitsushige replied. Good night. Maia replied. As he looked at her sleeping, he felt sudden regret.
The next morning, Gray woke up to the smell of blueberry and strawberry cheesecake pancakes. He rushed to the kitchen. Mom. Gray replied. Don't worry, I made enough for you and your father. Maia replied. Sausage, hash browns and bacon. Dad comes back more often, please. Gray replied. Stop acting like I never cook. Maia replied. Yeah, but not like this. Gray replied. Maia, you stopped cooking? Your chef. Mitsushige replied. Mom, you are a chef? Gray asked. Yes, when I was in my last year of culinary school, I met your father and his advisor, Kiyohide. Maia replied. Yeah, we were hungry, and we smelled homemade Chicken Alfredo, garlic bread and chicken gnocchi soup in the air. Mitsushige replied. That's actually how I met your father. After hearing their stomachs growl really got on my nerves. Maia replied. We were too proud to admit we were hungry. Mitsushige replied. I remember it perfectly. Since I was socially awkward, I'd constantly keep to myself. To avoid all stressful situations, I would cook. It was a few days before my final, Kiyohide was playing lookout and your father would steal food. My roommate Astaire feared the sound. I was already outside on the balcony eating the food I made. Your father and I made eye contact. Hey your stomach growling is annoying me. If you're hungry, come inside and get something to eat. Maia replied. They came inside and before I knew it, your father and Kiyohide ate everything I made. Maia replied. So, mom, you went to culinary school. Why aren't you a chef? Gray asked. Oh, sweetie I am. I go to work dressed in my normal clothes. Maia replied. Mom, you're a mysterious. Gray replied. No, you never asked me. Hurry and eat before your father eats everything. Maia replied. Gray and Mitsushige locked eyes. Carla knocked on the door. You sound like you're in high spirits. I smell a feast of breakfast food. Carla replied. Gray's father is visiting, and he has a great appetite. Maia replied. I have always wanted to see what Gray's father looked like. Carla replied. Go ahead. Maia replied. When Carla and Maia walked into the kitchen. Gray and Mitsushige are in a deadlock. I made more stop acting like you have never eaten before. Maia replied. She sighs. Oh my gosh, you were right; he has an appetite on him. Carla replied. Charles and I walked in. Aunt Maia, you cooked breakfast? Charles asked. Yup, I made enough for two houses. I made you guys secret plates. Maia replied. Oh my gosh, thank you. Carla replied. Oh hey, Gray. Charles and I replied. He turns around with both jaws filled. Hewww. Gray replied. Shallow first. Charles replied. Let me eat. I am savoring this meal. My mom rarely cooks like this. Gray replied. Fair point. Charles replied. Exactly. Gray replied. Carla and the girls left. Now it's time for me to eat. Maia replied. She turns around. Get away, let me eat. Maia replied. Thanks for this nutritious breakfast. Mitsushige replied.
He's about to hug her.
Scram. Maia replied.
She eats. Now this hits the spot. Maia replied.
She smiles.
Hey mom, do you need me to go anything for dinner, after school? Gray asked. Yes, angel hair and extra virgin olive oil. Maia replied. I will pick it up after school. Gray replied. After Gray left, Mitsushige picked Maia up and ran upstairs to her bedroom. What are you doing? Maia asked. He kissed her. I've missed you, Maia. Mitsushige replied. Why can't you stay? Maia asked. A covetous wife wouldn't like that, would she? Mitsushige asked. So she still is looking for me? Maia asked. Yes, but I made it where she can't detect your whereabouts. Mitsushige replied. He dragged his right index finger from her neck to her collarbone. Maia blushed. He kissed her again. At the moment, Gray felt great that he was slowly getting to know his father. As you know, good things come to those who deserve it. Let's see how things go. Stay Tuned.
