now it is YOU who is making this shitpost sad

[ it started with bitchface. within the first month, they’d taken in a kitten ( a couple, actually, though bitchface is the one who bitched her way into adoption ). even then, however, there’d been no expectation for longevity. they were going to go back to their reality; they were merely biding time until they figured out a pathway. but then there was huey. then the twins. an engagement was somewhere in the midst of all that, as well as a move to their own house, rather than the temporary arrangement of a government issued apartment. now, there will be a marriage in a couple weeks, as well as a new addition to their family and…

they’re putting down roots.

they’ve been putting down roots for eons.

he doesn’t know why it catches him flat-footed, struck dumb on how deep they are into this. it’s not like he didn’t know, but making due with what they have here and making it work is different than actively taking something from their original reality. a something that is very much alive and quite possibly doesn’t want to be here.

is this a good idea…?

it’s just that extra step of commitment to this world. just one more indication that they are willingly abandoning their posts as paladins and more or less, turning away from the desire of ever seeing their friends again, as well as the universe they knew. when he breaks it down like that and thinks about it in those terms, is he actually okay with this?

his response time has slowed down considerably. he fills that time by closing the lid of his pastry box and setting it down on the bench space to his right. leg coming up, he hooks the ankle over his opposite knee and hunches over the straight line of his leg, arms resting against himself as he stares at the blank writing box.

what’s more important to him? to him; to takashi shirogane, not to the once famed black paladin. he sighs out slow and once he starts typing, it isn’t all that difficult to finish. ]


If you think being here is the best thing for him and that he’ll get along with the others, then okay.
He can be part of our family.
