{This is from when @hadzyuka and I talked about an eventual relationship between Wu and Nat in a human verse! Wu, following a Chinese tradition of Milk Names, calls their babies ‘Stinky’ and ‘Fat Pig’, and it makes Nat seriously consider why she married this fool to begin with. This is Day two for @aphrarepairweek2019}
Can you please do China x Belgium? Like Yao and Emma are married owning a restaurant with kids.
“Order!” Yao shouts from behind the line. There’s a mop of blonde hair and a wink sent his way as the food leaves the kitchen and to the table that ordered it. He huffs but a smile manages to wiggle it’s way onto his face. It’s gone when the sound of the ticket machine buzzes. He rips off the paper and sticks it to the bar above his head.
“Rice on?” He yells.
“Rice going!” Is the answer he gets back. He takes a quick glance over at Leon flipping a pan full of said substance expertly and mixing in ingredients to make it more flavorful. Yao nods to himself affirmatively and then goes back to focusing solely on his food task in front of him.
His son is a diligent worker in the kitchen. His two daughters working the front of the house with his wife. Speaking of, Emma appears, helping both Mei and Lien load up their arms with plates to take out. Once more a wink is sent his way and a sigh escapes him.
The place is bustling. Barely a lazy day is shared between them all when working. Their little hole in the wall place has been going strong for a few years now, almost as long as their relationship they have forged since founding the place.
“Lovino will be here soon!” Emma tells him when she heads back to the kitchen next. Good thing too, the three servers going now are not enough for what they are working with and he knows how valuable Lovino can be in the kitchen.
Maybe not his own flesh and blood as Emma had been together with someone else, but Lovino is a good a worker as any of his actual own. He respects the boy regardless of his decision to stay in his room most days. Leon can relate to him in that aspect.
Surely enough the boy arrives with a bitter look on his face. He puts on an apron and starts bustling about. Helping get drinks, busing tables, even making a few dishes in times of need. He doesn’t say much and that’s okay. Yao knows what kind of sailor mouth the boy has and will not aggravate that.
Emma sweeps in and ruffles his hair, then ruffles Leon’s hair too. Both teens gripe at her though not as much as they could. She laughs happily, kissing Yao on the cheek and leaving once more. She took a shine to his multitude of kids far more easily than he thought she would. The nine of the kids switched off from their other parent and him. Emma made them all feel like family even if she hadn’t been the one to give birth to them.
Once the rush is done and they can start calming down for a while. Emma comes back and leans on him, hanging onto his arm and forcing him to cook with one hand. He does so grudgingly but well. She gives him kisses for his effort.
“How late are you staying tonight?” She asks sweetly. He twists up his nose, nodding to Leon when he points to leave the kitchen for a while.
“‘Until most of the paper work is done,” He tells her. A small whine catches his attention and he fully turns to face her and her pouting face.
“But that takes so long,” She says. He rolls his eyes knowing how fake that pout is. She’s giggling again soon enough and he huffs.
“Well maybe not most of it..” He mumbles to appease her. She’s smirking then, knowing her pout however fake had worked to her advantage. She kisses over his face then runs quick enough that he can’t push her away. He grumbles but a smile is on his face.
Soon the restaurant is empty and the children have been fed. They head on home, both parents knowing their kids can handle themselves on their own. Emma annoys him supremely well, hanging on his back as he looks through the order sheet for the food the rest of the week as well as payroll.
“Ready to go home yet?” Emma asks for the 3rd time. Yao gives her a half hearted glare but she’s smiling so gently that it melts him inside. With a gloomy nod he stands and her arms are around him. He returns the embrace and then they head home. Tomorrow they will start the day again and it will be just as exciting with the two of them together.
{This is for the Fantasy AU I have going on with @hadzyuka where Wu is a mogwai who stole human Nat from the mortal realm. This image is seconds before Nat was snatched. All of this for Day one of @aphrarepairweek2019}
