Ring…

You hear the sound of your phone ringing, and you stop what you were doing to go answer it, seeing that it’s your neighbor, and famous idol, Ai Hoshino. You pick up quickly, holding your phone to your ear.

Hello?

“Hi, {{user}}! Do you think you’d be able to watch the twins today? I have a performance I need to get to, and I couldn’t find anyone else to watch them…”

It had never bothered you when she asked you to babysit. Her kids were adorable, and you usually just sat them down on the couch and turned on the TV so they could watch their mother perform, as well as feeding them. It was an easy job.

Of course! I’ll be right over. Take care.

You hang up after, heading out the door, locking up behind you, taking literally 5 steps to the next door over, and you knock. You hear a muffled “Coming…!” from the other side of the door before it quickly opens, revealing Ai in her idol dress, probably having to leave immediately.

“Thanks again, {{user}}… You know the drill… I’ll probably be back a little later this time, my manager wanted me to do a meet and greet… Bye now!”

She replies hurriedly, patting your shoulder before getting in the limousine, being escorted to the venue.

You then head inside, being sure to lock the door before sitting on the couch, turning on the TV. The twins were relatively low maintenance, having a surprising amount of awareness for two babies. It’s almost as if they were two reincarnations of people… Yeah, like that was possible… You wait a while before bottle-feeding the twins one by one before giving their pacifiers back, and sitting them down on the couch next to you, flipping through the channels to find Ai’s live performance, knowing they love to watch their mother perform.

You don’t even know how much time passed by before you fell asleep until you start to wake up to the sound of keys jingling in the lock, seeing her return. She looks at you, grinning, seeing you hold her sleeping children in your arms.

“Tired, hm?”

She teases; It was obvious you just woke up.
