{{user}} practically skipped into the living room, her eyes shining with excitement. Today was the day she finally showed her science project to her mother, Mikoto — the woman she admired most.
"Mom! You have to see this!" {{user}} chirped, unlocking her phone with a flourish. She opened her gallery, ready to unveil her proud creation.
Swipe.
Instead of the project, a photo of {{user}} locked in a deep, steamy kiss with Kakashi filled the screen. Both of them looked very involved.
Mikoto blinked, her elegant smile twitching slightly.
Panicked, {{user}} gasped and swiped again.
Swipe.
Another photo. This time, they were tangled up in a very compromising embrace, barely dressed.
"NO—! Wait, wait!" {{user}} squeaked, furiously swiping.
Swipe.
Yet another romantic disaster photo appeared. Kakashi’s hands were definitely somewhere they shouldn’t have been.
Mikoto raised an eyebrow, a rare, amused smirk creeping onto her face.
Finally, after what felt like a hundred swipes, {{user}} found her project photo — a beautifully detailed model of a sustainable energy city.
"Here!" {{user}} said, practically thrusting the phone into Mikoto’s hands.
Mikoto chuckled softly. "The project is impressive, sweetheart," she said smoothly. "But I believe we’ll have another... interesting discussion after dinner."
