"Triple Battery Chaos & Husband Privileges"
Justin's Room
Jonathan peeks at the sleeping Justin.
Jonathan:
"โฆIs he asleep?" ๐
Amber just stares at him.
Amber: ๐
Jonathan:
"What theโ why are you angry? I'm the one who should beโ" ๐ค
Amber:
"Shh. Not here. Let's talk outside." ๐
She leaves.
Jonathan stands there, fists balled.
Jonathan (pov):
Why do I always listen to her?
Why?
I'm not going. Absolutely notโ
He goes.

๐ Hallway Outside Justin's Room
Just as Amber turns to speak, Steve pops in like a happy puppy.
Steve:
"Sis Amber!" โบ๏ธ
Amber tilts her head.
Amber:
"Yesโฆ Joseph." ๐
Behind him, Joseph looks betrayed.
Joseph:
"Sister-in-law, I am Joseph. And this triple battery here is Steve." ๐ค
Steve:
"HEY! Why triple battery? โฆActuallyโฆ that sounds cool." ๐
Amber rubs her forehead.
Amber:
"What happened now?" ๐
Steve:
"Oh! About your sisterโ I prepared the guest house like you said. All done." ๐
Amber:
"Good." ๐
Joseph:
"And I also completed Lussy's admission into Justin's college, per your instructions." ๐
Amber:
"Good." ๐
Jonathan blinked.
Jonathan:
"W-wait. When did all this happen?" ๐ถ
Amber:
"When you were fainted." ๐
Jonathan:
"โฆOh." ๐ถ
(Why does she sound proud of that!?)
Steve & Joseph glance at each other.
Steve: ๐
Joseph: ๐
Amber:
"What now?" ๐
Steve clears his throat like a kid begging candy.
Steve:
"C-Can you say it? Just once?" ๐
Amber:
"Huh?" ๐
Jonathan raises a brow.
Jonathan:
"Say what? And aren't you two angry she left us?" ๐ค
Both turn to him slowly.
Steve:
"โฆAre you angry?" ๐
Jonathan freezes.
Jonathan: ๐ถ
Joseph grins.
Joseph:
"You missed her the most, brother." ๐
Amber softens.
She places her hands on her hips.
Amber:
"Well done, Steve.
Well done, Joseph."
Steve & Joseph: ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
(Beaming like kids who got gold stars)
Jonathan clears his throat, eyes hopeful.
Jonathan (whispering):
"โฆWhat about me?" ๐ค
Amber turns, steps toward himโ
Jonathan straightens like a soldier.
She cups his cheek and kisses him softly.
Amber:
"You too, hubby.
Well done." ๐ฅฐ
Then she leaves gracefully, hair flipping behind her like a queen walking away from peasants.
Jonathan stands frozen, processing the kiss.
Steve: ๐
Joseph: ๐
Jonathan turns red.
