He nodded and closed his eyes.

"Fine, I'll let this passed. You lost countless times anyway." She went back to stand by the stove.

"How'd you know?" He jolted up.

"I heard you whining 'bout it. Something about not passing some level."

"The fourth boss! Jake beat him with lower levels than mine, but I can't!"

"That's 'cause he's Jake. He's good with games...and other gaming stuff."

He went to hop onto the counter by the stove to sit on it. "Then, what am I good at?"

She looked at him and frowned. "Don't sit here. You'll get burned."

He obeyed and slid off. "So?"

She took a deep breath and thought to herself. "You're good at...handling girls. That's a good thing, I guess."

"You guess? Why are you guessing? I am! Every time Jake and I hit on girls, I always get them."

"And he gets to date them."

He scowled and looked away. "That's 'cause they haven't seen the good stuff."

"What good stuff?"

He sent her a smirk and eyed down to his brother below him. "My good stuff."

She rolled her eyes in disgust and shoved him away. "Go get changed."

He laughed and left but turned back around. "Hey, since I'm getting changed, wanna see my good stuff?"

"Logan! Just go."

They laughed it off.

After breakfast, Hana was doing laundry, including Logan's because they agreed on separating some chores. Since she was doing his laundry, he'd be putting things away in the shed and cleaning up the garage. She had gathered his clothes from his messy room and was about to head to the laundry room when she bumped into him in the hall.

"You'll be seeing me wear the baseball cap soon!" he said, excitedly.

"Baseball season's coming up already? When?"

"When we go back to school."

"Are you going to prep a workout routine like you always do?"

"Shoot! That means I'll have to get up an hour early before school to run!"

"Do what you gotta do, boy." She passed by him with the laundry basket to the laundry room. She set the basket down and started throwing the clothes into the washer.

He poked his head inside. "Maybe I should quit the team."

She stopped and shoot him a look. "What for?"

"What about the brat? What about taking him to his daycare in the morning and picking him up after school? I can't let you do that yourself."

She shook her head. "Stop. You don't have to worry about us." She hugged him with a smile. "Stay and have fun with your team." She pulled away but had her hands enveloped around his neck. "Be a baseball father Lucas can be proud of. That way, you two can play baseball when he grows up."

"Really?" he quietly whispered. "Really, really?"

"Really." She removed her hands from him. "Besides, who do you think I am?" She laughed. "I'm Hana, and I can handle this." She gave him a light punch on the chest. "Be the man I can be proud of too."

After two hours of cleaning the house, Hana and Logan were once again seated together on the couch with nothing to do.
