Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

It ended up being more complicated than anticipated, but yes.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

He got some sleep, then? No nightmares?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Not as much as I would have liked, that time.

But I think... maybe it will stop some future ones.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

That's still promising. Thank you. Every little bit helps with that guy.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ ... Chuckling a little ]

You get a certain look on your face when you talk about him.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[immediately touches his face like he can tell what kind of face he was making, self-conscious]

--No I don't!

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ LAUGHS OUTRIGHT sry ]

Ah, that one too.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Stop spouting nonsense. I'm worried about him; of course I'm going to make a few faces.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Especially not in a dream.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

I'm not embarrassed! I'm...not used to it.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ Looking at him, taken aback ]

You're not?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Of course not. When would I have ever had time to date someone.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

I guess I just...


Assumed.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Should I be flattered that I look like someone who lives a carefree enough life to go on dates? My hands are full. Isn't it the same for you?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

You can still find time for love even in exceptional circumstances--!

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

I have to raise five kids, keep my little brother safe, manage the monster rearing facility and every single new monster we get, manage a few international relations, avoid being kidnapped, and save the world from destruction.

No. No time. At least not until the kids finish college.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ oh my god dude ]

Well.

It's good you made an exception here.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

I'm happy. But it was unexpected, you know?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ WRY ]

I do know.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

But you're happy too, aren't you?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

...

Yes. I am.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Awwwwwwwwwww. What a sap.

[leans over to ruffle his hair]

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ He only flushes a LITTLE bit, and he doesn't even try to swat that hand away even when it's fucking up his style™. Mostly he just still looks happy. ]

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[wow that's just sweet :(]

For what it's worth, I'm happy for you. It sounds like you've had it pretty rough up until now. Having a place to call home and people to love doesn't make the past go away, but...it balances the good and the bad.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[

He seems to turn that statement over in his head a few times. ]

Home, huh . . .
