He gives her a momentary glare, shoving her. “Miki, we need to have manners. You don’t want Robby to think you’re an animal.” He chuckles. “I don’t know what to make. Maybe Ben will make something?? I bet I could get him too.”

Miki's eyes went wide with realization and she gulped down the mouthful. "Oh my word, I'm so sorry. I'm awful at being polite." she took a deep breath. "I promise I shall do my uttermost best to be a good person tonight and not scare Robby away. OH, you gotta make Ben make that bacon macaroni thing he does! That's amaziiiiiiinnnnngggggg."

Cage giggles, “if he hears you call it ‘macaroni’ he will murder you. But yes, he should make that! What should we have for dessert? OH YEAH ICE CR-“
The door opens and Ben walks in, waving a hand, “Cageually Azil, bring down the volume! Augh, you’re always so loud.” He hangs his coat up and huffs, turning only to have his eyes rest on Violet. She stands with her hands on her her hips and a less than subtle glare.

Miki leaped off her stool and threw her arms around Cage, holding his mouth shut and dragging him toward the garage. "Let's go get cleaning supplies while Violet kills Ben." she whispered into his ear.

Cage nods, willingly going with Miki, but keeping his eyes on Ben and Violet.
“Will she kill him?” He whispers.

Violet tilts her head, “Benjamin.”
He swallows then gives her a small nod, still standing beside the door. “Violet.”

Miki pulled him down the hall, but instead of going into the garage, she backed in the laundry room. "Shhhhh," she whispered to Cage. "Now she can kill him but we can listen and make sure he's okay."

“Ah, good plan.” He whispers. “Is this about them drinking?”

“Gabriel smells heavily of wine.” She firmly states, both eyes still locked on Ben.
He dusts his jacket off and starts to walk towards her, a charming smile slowly crossing his lips. “Ah, are you jealous?” He walks past her, seeing Gabriel. He does his best not to grimace and instead turns around, facing Vi again.
She turns to look him in he eyes, though he stands a good few inches above her.
“Not one bit.”
He smiles, showing his teeth. “Violet.” He draws out her name in almost an endearing tone. “You love my wine. Come now.” He turns, retrieving it from the cabinet.
Her eyes widen in frustration. “Benjamin, I’m serious you shouldn-“
He shoves a glass into her hand. “Would you like to go out tomorrow? Hmm? I can take you to the art gallery? Maybe the garden downtown you’ve been wanting to go to.”
She sighs, “Ben, you know it’s too cold. You’d-“ she catches herself and hardens her glare. “That’s beside the point!”

Cage's eye widen. “Ooh he’s gooood.” He whispers.

Miki clamped a hand over her mouth, trying not to giggle. "I didn't know he even knew how to flirt! He's awful trying to distract her like that!"

He pours wine into her glass and she huffs, opening her mouth to speak.
He sets the bottle down and puts a hand on her cheek. “Hm, Violet? What if- what if I could get the kids out. An entire day just us here?” His voice lowers into a soft whisper as he continues talking. “Yes?”
She swallows and glances down to her wine, habitually twirling it. “Benjamin I-“
“Completely silent. No kids to feed. Nothing we have to do.”
She sighs quietly and takes a sip of her wine. “Sounds nice…”
a soft smile crosses his lips. “Yes?”
She takes a small step forward and he touches his forehead to hers.

Cage bites his lip. “You think he got out of it?” He whispers, leaning close to Miki.

Miki stared at Cage, her mouth hanging open. "I didn't… he's so smooooth, Cage! How does he do that??" she whispered.

Cage closes his mouth, trying not to laugh. “Shhh, I know he is. He looks good, did you expect him to not know how to woo ladies? Hmm?” He whispers.

Violet goes to speak but he slips a finger over her lips, quietly shushing her.
“Я люблю тебя.” He whispers.
She softly smiles, setting her glass down on the counter behind him. “Yeah?” She slips her arms around him and leans in for a kiss.

Cage ducks behind a laundry basket, still trying not to giggle.

Miki slid down to the floor, holding one hand over her mouth and flailing with the other one. "CAGE, they're so adorable help." she squeaked.

Cage looks at Miki weird. “What? Cute- no. A scandalous couple that belongs in a drama? Yes.”

Ben rests his hands on her hips and he pulls her closer as their lips touch and they kiss.

"No, no, no," Miki squealed. "They're so cute and in love, Cage. And we never–"

A scream split through the house, followed by Silver's voice shrieking, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???"

Ben tenses, looking for the source of the sound, and Violet gasps. Both of their eyes land on Silver at the same time, Ben’s lips smudged with her lipstick and Violet’s fingers tangled in his curls.
“Silver.” Violet exhales, relieved.

Cage peeks over the basket, whispering to Miki “she ruined this.”

Silver stared at them, one hand clinging to the balcony so hard her knuckles were white. "What… Ben…" she gasped, confusion and horror and suspicion chasing each other across her face. "You can't do that. You're not married yet." She reprimanded them.

Violet let’s out a soft chuckle and rests her forehead on Ben’s chest.
He raises his eyebrows. “Ah, yes. I forgot. I’m sorry, Silver.” He turns back to Violet, lifting her chin with his hand and starting to kiss her again, placing his other hand on her back.
Cage bites his lip.
brat

"BEN, STOP, YOU CAN'T." Silver shrieked, gripping the balcony with both hands. "BEN YOU TOLD ME I COULDN'T KISS GABE, YOU CAN'T KISS VIOLET EITHER."

Miki covered her face in her hands, her shoulder shaking with laughter.

Gabriel’s eyes open and he coughs, setting a hand on his collarbone.
WHAT.
Violet pulls away to laugh and Ben smiles, chuckling a little.

Silver gasped, her face contorting further, and dug her hands into her hair. "Violet, you know better! Make him stop! He told me I couldn't–dang it, he GOT SO MAD AT ME for kissing Gabe's nose yesterday and you're FREAKING MAKING OUT RIGHT NOW. Violet, tell him it's wrong!!!"

Miki lifted her head, gasping for breath. "Cage, she doesn't know." she breathed. "Cage, she doesn't know they're married."

Ben straightens his face. “Silver, that was a kiss. I was not making out. If you'd like-“
Violet shoves him. “Benjamin, no. Shhh.” She giggles.
Gabriel gulps, squeezing himself, and slowly turns invisible.

Cage giggles. “This is gold.”

Silver sighed and crossed her arms, her confusion giving way to annoyance. "Well, FINE then, Ben! Then you can't stop me from kissing Gabriel!" And she leapt over the balcony, landing on the bottom floor with an audible THUMP.

"Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no," Miki said, scrambling to her feet. "Gabriel will run away if he hears her, Cage. And Ben will legit kill her if she successfully kisses him."

Ben glares, eyes widening. “You will NOT.” He states.
Gabriel scrambles to his feet.
WHERE DO I GO???

Cage stands, covering his mouth. “This got a whole lot scarier.”

Silver glared at him, planting her hands on her hips, but through her anger her eyes reddened with tears of confusion. "Then why can you kiss Violet?? Why do the rules not apply to you??"

Miki stumbled out of the laundry room. "Silver! SIL!" she yelled, running into Gabriel and falling to the floor. "SILVER , IT'S OKAY THEY'RE MARRIED."

Ben purses his lips, letting Miki blurt out the answer, beating Violet to it. Violet gives Silver a smile. “Calm down, Love. He was only joking.”
Kissa barrels over the balcony, taking Silver down. “THE ONLY THING YOU CAN KISS IS THE FLOOR!” She yells.
