It felt like you had been sitting in the car for hours and hours but it was more like 30 minutes of sulking and feeling full of regret, wishing you had gone to Sun's and gotten away from him. Even just for a afternoon... Time seem to drag on as the radio played in the background "If I got locked away... and we lost it all today... tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?" the lyrics softly played ambiently as the lyrcis hurt. does he actually care.. is Sun right?  Am I being stupid the voice in your head questioned, Trying to decide what to do about Mercury and Sun you started up the car to head home.

You drove up to the house and opened the garage door, Re-orienting the car you started pulling into the garage. You catch a glimpse of Merc standing at the door watching you pull up, He looks like himself; Aloof, careless and annoyed with everything. You got out of the car and went around opening the back and opened it. He walked up and took one of the groceries bags as if a sixth sense he knew that was the bag that had the popcorn he wanted to eat inside. "thank you..." You thanked quietly for him helping at least slightly with the groceries. 

He looked over his shoulder briefly at you as if registering the thank you then he looked away opening the door and heading inside leaving it open to let you follow. You watched him kick off his shoes. Heading to the couch and flopping on the couch taking the popcorn out of the bag and then dropped the groceries. You sigh softly, He was hopeless. 

You put everything away and began cooking lunch as you usually did now that the house was restocked, humming softly to yourself. "Cinder said we got mission soon by the way" He called to the kitchen. "Right, So what do we gotta do?" You called back as you flipped over the grilled cheese sandwich. "I need you to dress up like a maid and bascially be my maid for the afternoon" he says so causally its almost scary. "As if!" you snap back almost dropping your spatula. He smirked "you wish I was lying" He transfered the screenshot of his conversation with Cinder to her Scroll. She looks through the conversation and rolls her eyes "yeah yeah..." You muttered great now I have to be his B*tch for the afternoon. 

great, ontop of having a horrible day I was being forced to be Merc's "pet" for a client  You groaned quietly as he smirks quiet pleased with how things had turned out.  You looked over to see him resting on the couch as you flipped the food "Merc..." you said softly as your heart ached for some sort of love and affection from this asshole. You felt useless... weak... a nuisance.. It was killing you, regret and anger filled your mind wishing you hadn't been put on this mission.
