[Scene: Minato's House, Kitchen]
[Track Change: Naruto 'Afternoon in Konoha']
Suddenly Renjiro's more refined eating manners disappeared, Asriel, missing the joy of home cooked meals immediately took over and started shoveling spaghetti into his mouth. Minato realized what happened very quickly and started chuckling, Kushina a beat late also resumed eating happily. Once Asriel finished, there was sauce all over their snout, the white fur stained red, Renjiro quickly and silently took control again and went to wash their face at the sink. Returning to the table he finally spoke again.
"Asriel, if you want to do that again, either choose a less messy meal, or have a wet towel nearby.."
"Sorry Renjiro-nii. I will next time." Asriel said while laughing.
Kurama, watching from the side was very amused, the half serious and half playful musings of his nephews were good entertainment for him after being sealed for decades. Suddenly Asriel looks over, meeting Kurama's eyes and says,
"Hey Uncle, come have some spaghetti with us!"
Kurama was surprised, but continued to act aloof by saying,
"I don't eat human food."
"You don't eat human food or have never eaten human food?" Asriel countered.
"I…" Kurama hesitated.
"Come over here silly, I will grab a plate for you."
"And a towel Asriel." Renjiro piped up
"Yes Renjiro."
Kurama begrudgingly got up from his sun lit spot and sat at the end of the table closest to where Asriel had sat. Even with his reduced size from 300 meters to 2 meters he towered over the table, even while sitting. With Asriel bringing back a new plate and a damp towel, he placed the plate in front of Kurama, he took a quick sniff and started eating.

Unlike Minato and Kushina, who had a semi-refined palette, even if it was a bit skewed, Kurama had never eaten a proper cooked meal. He, who had lived more than a millennia, had never had such a meal. Whenever he tried eating in the past it was always live game or raw vegetables. He constantly looked down on cooking, he had eaten the base ingredients before, why would such a powerful being feel the need to cook? A tear of regret fell from his eye.
Suddenly, his behavior started to mirror Asriel from earlier, rapidly eating the spaghetti on his plate, eyes continuing to tear up. Within a minute the plate was empty, and for the first time in decades, Kurama felt hungry. Asriel noticed and brought another plate, Renjiro made more than 10 servings, mostly because he didn't know how much Kushina would eat, but seeing Kushina had stopped at only two plates and was watching Kurama in a strange trance. After five plates Kurama finally stopped his intense consumption of spaghetti, tears and red sauce staining his face.

Renjiro quickly cleaned up Kurama's face of sauce and tears, moving with a surprisingly gentle grace that made even the irritable fox feel unbothered. Minato wisely told Kushina to stay quiet for a bit. Kurama gradually woke up from his reverie, only to realize that Asriel had been hugging him tightly while stroking his neck and down his back.
'These nephews…' Kurama thought, 'I don't deserve them.'
Kurama lowered his head onto Asriel's shoulders and wrapped his tails around them. They stayed that way for a few minutes before a baby's whining was heard.
