Do I think that Rollo would give up on his hopes for a world without magic and go straight to being docile and nice? HELL(fire) NO, he is petty and takes his grudges to his grave.
Do I also think that he's not this completely narrow-minded caricature of a bigot who's hell(fire)bent on destroying magic and that characterization of him is shallow? Well yeah.
Simply put, I don't think Rollo just forgives and forgets, but I also don't think he's obsessive about ~beating Malleus Draconia~ in the way I've seen people describe. Mostly because Rollo's hatred of magic is not his only personality trait.
...Additionally, Rollo is a patient man, not to mention non-confrontational. He's willing to brood in the shadows and play the waiting game while watching for another opportunity to present itself.
In the meantime, he's got other things going on for him.
Mainly? This neat little magicless weirdo who adopted him on a whim, opening their arms (and their dorm) when they knew no one else would have him.
...Now, for contrast? Cool, smooth Malleus Draconia, professional emotional repressor, has only felt truly afraid of one person, which is Rollo Flamme, and only two times.
The first was in the bell tower during the fire lotus fiasco.
The second was seeing how quickly Rollo had won you over.
It sort of makes sense.
The very first stranger who didn't fear him, who befriended him, who defended him, who spoke of him without shame, could surely learn to love anyone, and Rollo was no exception to that rule. Malleus could understand why you would forgive him so easily, why you would grant him shelter and let him drink out of the cup of your hand, as you did him.
But this... is a little too much.
Right?
The hand-holding, the gentle nudges, the whispers and giggles, and closeness that Rollo demands and that you supply without question, without caution, it drives Malleus out of his mind.
And Rollo? Totally careless.
Yes, he still dislikes Malleus, and he especially dislikes your friendship with him.
But is he going after the guy? Is he dragging him out into the square and burning him at the stake? Is he going on grand speeches about the great evil that is Malleus Draconia?
No.
Because Rollo, when not engulfed in flame, is the very same calm, measured Student Council President that they had met before lotuses spread through the city of flowers like wildfire.
That is to say... he doesn't spare a second glance at Malleus.
I would hardly consider it a competition when it's just Malleus' one-sided insecurity beating against a brick wall.
Rollo knows he's already won, or at least he feels that he has. And Malleus? Oh, it drives him crazy.
Coward, he calls him. Dishonorable liar!
But Rollo is just cruising by, arm-in-arm with you, whispering sweet somethings that make you smile...
There's no battles, no blasts of lighting and fire, not even any witty back-and-forth between the two men.
It's not a rivalry as much as it is a petty, one-sided slap fight. Malleus trying to grab your attention, Rollo rolling his eyes and moving you along, you at the center of the conflict, not a care in the world.
No feats of magic, no enchanting evenings at mysterious balls or midnight strolls in mystical forests, no amount of humor or interesting conversation seems to get through to you- you respond to it as you always have, which is, well, with rapt attention and an overabundance of gratitude, but it's the same you give Rollo, and so it's simply not enough anymore.
He just doesn't get it. Rollo is a homebody who avoids using magic like the plague, his lineage is not noble nor does he come from a particularly interesting place, and he doesn't even like gargoyles that much! What in the world could he possibly have that Malleus does not? What could he provide for you? What hole does he fill?
For once in his life, Malleus is mad that his status doesn't mean anything to you.
The weather in Diasomnia has been pretty nasty, lately.
Mama Mia (Here I go again) (Chapter 2: Chiquitita)
Word Count: 5.5k
Warnings: Unplanned Pregnancy (not explicit), Brief mentions of Sex (Not explicit)
Summary: With an unplanned pregnancy affecting her ability to return home, Yuu decides to stay in Twisted Wonderland to raise her child. The problem however, was that she was unsure who the father of her child was. It could be the second prince of the Sunset Savannah, Leona Kingscholar. Or perhaps the actor and model, Vil Schoenheit. Or even the prince of Briar Valley, Malleus Draconia. Whichever the case, Yuu decides to take on the responsibility alone- and raise her daughter Yume, without the father knowing.
None of this would come to light though until her daughters 10th birthday party...
Notes:
Yeah- a second chapter so soon because yall seemed to love the idea of it and I got sudden inspiration. I also already had a large portion of this chapter prewritten from yesterday, so I just added onto it today and revised some of it. Enjoy!
A mistake Yuu had made 10 years ago- and just now is it coming back to haunt her. If there was a world record for the longest it's taken someone to face the consequences of their own actions, this wouldn't be the longest- but it surely has to be one of the biggest ones. It was actually impressive that it had taken so long given that she was dealing with three very powerful mages who also held lots of influence- to figure out her secret- and even then, they would have been none the wiser if it wasn't for her equally intelligent daughter stepping in.
“Start talking- why did I get this letter just now?” Leona growled out. Yuu breathed in a deep breath- her palms starting to sweat as she was now being confronted. “It would have been nice to have known ten years earlier that I had a child-”
“You have a child? I believe Yume is my responsibility.” Vil frowned, turning his head to Leona with his hair falling over his shoulders as he did so. “I understand we all received a similar note in nature, but how would you even be a viable option, when me and Yuu were together 10 years ago. The timeline simply matches-”
“You both must be mistaken.” Malleus stepped in. Even with just his words, he was able to gain attention from everyone in a way that Leona and Vil failed to. “I was with the child of man 10 years and 9 months ago from this very date. That means the child is my daughter and heir-”
“Now wait just a minute, Lizard-” Leona turned his frustration, now with full force, towards Malleus- who did not even blink an eye at Leona’s anger. “You don't get to make a claim.”
“There is no claim- And I believe that's for our dear Yuu to explain-” Vil added to Leona’s words. All three men turned their questions and ire towards Yuu- who looked akin to a deer in the headlights. “Who exactly is the father?”
You would think that after 10 years, she would have found the proper words to explain what happened, how it happened, why it happened and everything in between. However- she thought she would have more time to figure out her words. More time to process everything herself, since the past 10 years felt like nothing but a dream, passing by quickly. But now- she would have to say something.
But she needed a few minutes to gather her thoughts first. She raised a finger, as if pleading for a moment as she frantically looked back and forth between Grim, her friends and the three men. “I promise, I'll explain everything-” She looked to Yume- the girl holding a huge grin while her mother was internally combusting. That grin alone made Yuu want to ground her daughter until college- but she held back her wrath (for now). “Just… give me a minute.” She breathed out- realizing she had been holding her breath.
Yuu rushed towards Yume, placing her hand on the girl's back and ushering her into the house, quickly closing the back door behind them and going into the living room. The cold inside the house felt like a wake up call from the heat and confusion of outdoors. It allowed her head to clear for just a few seconds before she turned to her daughter- who looked less pleased with herself now.
“Yume- what was that? Why-” She stopped- looking out the windows of the living room to actually make sure what she was seeing was real. “How are they here?” She asked as she pointed to their backyard. “And how did they get those letters?” Yuu had an inkling of how they did, but she wanted- no- hoped her daughter would deny her hand in it.
Yume took a deep breath as she confessed; “I invited them-” But the girl barely got the last word out before Yuu was doubling over, holding her head in her hands. “And I'm the one who sent them the letters.”
“You did what!?” Yuu hissed out. She knew she should have put a lock on the storage room, knew she should have hidden her things better! But she figured that her child would not yet understand to invade her privacy- perhaps that was a foolish belief. Her child had been invading her personal space since she could walk- why should she think her privacy and belongings would be safe?
“I just wanted to know who my dad really was- and invite him to my birthday! It was obvious you knew but weren't telling me for a reason and now I know; because you never told him!” Yume frowned- her little eyebrows furrowing as far as they could. It looked comical on her face- given the girl hardly got angry- so Yuu had to hold herself back from cooing over her child as her anger took over.
“Yume-” Yuu tapped her foot for a minute before finally saying. “I am very disappointed in you. Not because you wanted to know who your father was, but because you went through my belongings, went behind my back and mailed private writings that had no right to be given out.”
“But… But that's not fair!” The girl cried out. “I tried to speak to you before about him- but everytime I do, you just brush it off- you never give me any straight answers! Don't I deserve to know who he is?”
Yuu’s anger faded as her daughter expressed her frustrations, because she was right. She did have a right to know, but it had been Yuu’s responsibility to figure out who he was- and she had failed her daughter. She wasn't frustrated with her daughter, not truly, not for doing what needed to be done more than a decade ago- she was angry with herself. With her own failure and hand in this whole situation. “Youre right…” Yuu conceded, as she sighed and walked over to the couch- plopping down onto it as she chewed on her bottom lip. “You do have a right to know, and I'm sorry for failing you.”
The young girl tilted her head, confused now as to what her mother meant. “What do you mean?”
“The truth is- im not sure who your father is…” Yuu admitted. For the first time in 10 years, she was finally admitting the truth outloud. Even when Grim had asked all those years ago, she had even kept it from him. She had lied and kept it from Ace and Deuce and just about everyone else. But now- now that her daughter was old enough to know, she was ready to speak about it. “You were right- one of those men out there is your father, but im not sure which one…”
Yuu expected her daughters second wave of anger- perhaps even accusations and some slamming of doors. However, Yume was quiet as she thought it over. And then, a small smile grew over her face. “Then that means…I could be a princess!” The child exclaimed, her tiny fists balled up in an excited manner.
Yuu gave an exasperated look to the girl- puzzled by her reaction. ”No-” She let out a laugh of disbelief. “You are not a princess-“ Yuu started- but was quickly cut off.
”You don't know that! There is a ⅔ chance I can be- and I like the sound of it.” The girl shot back. “I'm going to be a Princess! I'll get to wear tiara’s and pretty dresses-” Yuu was going to argue against her daughters statements- however, found that no matter who her father was, those statements were true. Even if Vil turned out to be the father, he would also encourage and likely aid his daughter in obtaining just about any and every dress and tiara that can be bought within his power.
“You’ll always be my Princess- but that’s not the point. Yume- you know better than to go into my things, much less, reach out to strangers-” Yuu folded her arms. “Therefore, you are grounded for… three months.”
“Three months!?” The girl’s excitement faded as she gasped. “Why three!?”
“One month for every letter you sent. I think that sounds more than fair-” Yuu explained. “But, your sentence will start tomorrow. Today is still your birthday after all…” As soon as Yuu had said that, the backdoor opened once more, and in came three figures. But it was not the potential fathers of Yume- but her friends. Yuu breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Grim, Deuce and Ace enter into the living room- still baffled at what had just happened outside.
“Ummm- it was getting awkward and tense out there.” Ace said “It got to a point it seemed safer in here than out there.”
“It reminded me too much of school… It was like I was 16 again…” Deuce said and then audibly shivered. “Never do that to us again Yuu.”
“That's all the both of you have to say?” Grim interrupted. Not asking- what in sevens name is actually going on?!”
Yuu breathed out through her nose as she raised from her seat on the couch and looked at Grim. “Grim- I'll explain it to you later. Yume-” She turned to her daughter. “Go and take grim to your room while I talk with your Uncle Ace and Deuce.” That might not have been the best choice considering Grim watching Yume was probably how they got into this situation- but at this point, Yuu was desperate. She needed to get advice on what she should even do next- and maybe they would know better than herself.
Grim mumbled as he walked towards Yume. “Yeah, you'll owe me an explanation- AND a can of fancy tuna!” He said as he and Yume walked into the hallway. Ace, Deuce and Yume were silent until they heard the door to Yume’s room close.
“Yuu, what’s going on? Why are three of the old housewardens here?” Deuce asked, folding his arms. He had not expected this when they had agreed on coming to visit for Yume’s birthday.
”Yeah- what’s the deal? Look- I know we didn't exactly ask about who Yume’s dad was but we were expecting someone-“ Ace paused before finally finishing his sentence. “...Someone we didn't know.”
Yuu contemplated lying- simply ignoring the problem for another day (or year) and playing off the whole situation. But, if she were to confide with anyone about what was going on, it would be Deuce and Ace. Throughout the years, they had always been there for one another, and this didn't change anything. So, Yuu took a deep breath, steeling her nerves as it all came spilling out of her. “Yume found my journal and went through it to look for her dad, except she didn't find one but three names who she thought could be her father. Then, she sent old letters that I had written years ago to them- Letters that I never sent them! And now I have all three at once, showing up on my doorstep and very likely sitting at a table together and plotting how they should deal with me.”
They both blinked, staring at her. Yuu swallowed the lump in her throat- a combination of tears and stress building up- as she stared back at her friends. It felt even better to confess to her two friends than it had when she had explained it to Yume. “And… who is the father exactly?” Deuce asked cautiously.
She thought that by the way things had turned out, they would have guessed that she didn't know- but now she had to say it directly. “I…” She sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as she confessed out loud for the second time. “I don’t know…”
“You don’t know!?” Both men exclaimed and her head shot up.
“How in sevens name would I know!? I thought I could figure it out myself when Yume was born- but she’s just a replica of me!” Yuu shot back. “And she looks human, but that doesn't mean anything because I'm human!”
“How about a good rule of thumb is to keep track of who your sexual partners are and to space them out a bit-“ Ace started, but was punched in the arm by Deuce.
”No- a good rule of thumb would be to just use protection, dumbass!” Deuce corrected- and Yuu interrupted them both.
“Ten years too late for that, boys! The product is in the other room- and now I need help figuring out what to do because it's come back to bite me in the ass!” She whispered as loud as she could without Yume, Grim or the three men outside hearing her.
“When did this even happen? How?” Ace asked now. “It’s not like you, Vil, Leona or Malleus were ever close- right??? Am I missing something?”
“Well…. Do you remember that reunion that Azul hosted?” She asked.
“The one he priced unreasonably high amounts for, and then you begged us to come because there would be alcohol? Yeah- I remember that alright.” Deuce said- and Yuu deadpanned to him.
“That’s when we reunited. Me and… those three.” She sighed. “Each one for a different reason and on different nights- but yeah… all three…” she paused- and then scratched the back of her neck as she looked down. “within the span of a month-“ She mumbled under her breath.
They both looked at her again, as their voices raised. “A MONTH?!”
“You both aren’t making me feel any better about this!!!” She snapped finally. “Now use whatever brain cell you both share and help me unfuck the situation!”
“Us? What do you want us to do?” Deuce asked- raising his hands to gesture outside. “It was different when we were in school- we were able to help you then. But this- this is… a really bad situation-”
“Worse than the overblots we dealt with?” Yuu asked and put a hand on her hips.
“Might as well be- at least then we could blame the overblot on their actions- but this; they are going to consciously make the decision to kill us if we get involved or they think we knew anything about this.” Ace explained.
Yuu looked up now to the ceiling as she paced the room. The two just watched her as she went back and forth.“Okay- I can do this.” She hyped herself up before finally stopping in the middle of the living room and looking at her friends one last time. “Just… watch Yume for me then. Don't let her go outside while I speak to them.” She turned to leave but paused and shot them both a look. “And don't eat the cake without me and Yume!”
“We wont-” Ace called back, before muttering under his breath. “We wont eat it without Yume…” But Yuu didn't hear the last part as she opened the door and closed it behind her. Closed it on her one way of escape, on the idea of safety and just ignoring the situation. It was time for her to do the right thing.
────•⋅⊰༻♥༺⊱⋅•────
As Yuu sat there, with three of her ‘exes’ sitting across from her, pissed at the situation of her creating, she contemplated writing a book; ‘how to explain one of your sexual partners knocked you up and you don't know which one- 5 tips on surviving’. Tip number one: Tell them before the child is born; A tip Yuu failed to take 10 years ago.
“So potato; start explaining. Why is it that it took a child sending us an old letter for it to be revealed you had a child- and that it may be one of ours?” Vil asked, folding his arms as he leaned back in his seat. Tip number two: you should be the one to tell them all, in person, and not your child; yet another tip she failed once Yume sent out those old letters- letters she should have destroyed as soon as she knew she wouldn't send them. “Its rather jarring to be preparing for a photoshoot only to receive a letter that I have a daughter- and that its her birthday. I dropped everything to be able to come here-”
“You aren't the only one who had something going on-” Leona shot Vil a look. “I didn't care about getting out of stuff I had going on- what bothers me the most is that I show up and already on your doorstep are two other men who received the same exact letter.” Tip number three: Don't write the same exact speech and explanation for each of the men who you suspect are your child's father. If they come together and realize you were going to tell all of them the same exact story, they will not be too pleased.
Malleus cleared his throat, leaning forward as he intercepted the conversation. “I believe we are all focusing on the wrong issue; the question we all have is who is Yume’s father? Since our dear Yuu never explained who the letter was for.” Tip number four: Actually have answers for each of them. They will not be happy hearing that Yuu never made any attempts at finding out her daughter's paternity- as it had never mattered to her. None of them were in her life any longer and she didn't want them to be anyways. Maybe it came from a deep rooted fear that if any of them believed they were Yume’s father, they would take her away from Yuu. And Yume was all Yuu had left (aside from Grim)- her only family she had left.
And Tip number five: Tell them the truth regarding everything (A continuation of tip one). This is the one and only tip Yuu could now follow as she sighed, her shoulders dropping as she looked down. She couldn't look any of them in the eye any more, especially since this was the circumstances they were all seeing one another under again. “Im not sure.” Absolute quiet- none of them saying anything which just made her stomach curl- it was even worse than if they all started yelling and scolding her. At least then, she would know what they were thinking and how they were feeling- but the uneasy silence only reminded her of the calm before a storm.
Speaking of storms- the once sunny skies above suddenly became overcast- which was odd as it was forecasted to be a warm day. In the distance, a slight rumbling of thunder could be heard but no lightning followed. Yuu looked up at the sky, shocked, and then to the three men finally. Leona looked flat out outrage- like he was holding back a choice of multiple words for Yuu. She didn't fault him for it- and wouldn't if he did start yelling at her. Vil’s face could only be described as looking appalled- hand over his mouth as he stared at Yuu and then between Leona and Malleus, like he was internally trying to come up with a timeline that would make it all make sense. And Malleus- he was absolutely distressed. He didnt look angry- but like a… kicked puppy. She expected his anger the most- but betrayal in his eyes was all she could see.
She should add a sixth tip just for good measure: don't sleep with some of the most powerful and influential mages of this world's time- otherwise you may be fearing for your own safety. Suddenly, she couldn't blame Ace and Deuce for coming inside to escape this scene.
Yuu folded her hands in her lap, clasping them so tightly her knuckles turned white as she continued. “I'm so sorry- I… Everything happened really fast, and by the time I figured out I was pregnant, I had already slept with all three of you and we all weren't talking.”
“How about a phone call?” Vil asked- his voice strained. Yuu had not heard him sound so conflicted in years- not since the events of the SDC had happened… “Even if you didn't know- we could have figured it out together and have put all this to rest years ago. And as you know- im not one to skip out on my responsibilities-”
“Yeah- I don't think a letter cuts it. I mean- if she is my kid- if she’s any of our kid- then we just missed out on 10 years of her life.” Leona added. “I would have at least liked to have had time with her- Now we are gonna be strangers to her.”
“I am… deeply displeased with how everything has turned out.” Malleus expressed finally after Vil and Leona spoke. “If even It had been hinted that the child you carried could be my offspring as well- then I would have never let you leave-”
“Wait- she left you?” Leona turned to Malleus- having a shit eating grin that was not called for in this situation- and Malleus looked like he was contemplating striking Leona down at that very moment.
“Does it matter?” Malleus asked- but before Leona could give a witty comeback, Yuu interceded.
“It doesn't. It doesn't, Leona.” She said firmly. “Look- Even now- I don’t expect anything. I’ve cared for Yume for the past 10 years, and will gladly do so without any other help for the remainder of her childhood. So… you all are off the hook.” She said. “Yume has just been on a quest lately to find out who her father is, and went through some of my old journals, and just so happened to find those letters. And… Well, I never sent them because I didn’t think it was right to. I mean- I didn’t know which one of you could be her father- and I didn’t want to get it wrong and… ruin one of your lives.” She crossed her arms and sat back in the folding chair- with it creaking under her uneven weight as she did so. “You all deserved to go and live life how you envisioned.”
“And what about you?” Vil asked, however his voice was softer now- not filled with the accusatory tone he had had earlier on in their conversation. “You also deserved to live the life you envisioned-“
“This-“ Yuu motioned to everything around her. “Living here, having Yume… it’s everything I could have wished for. I might have lost my family as soon as I was brought here but… I’ve slowly made my own family as well. Yume and Grim are all I need. It’s a simple life, that I can’t deny- but it’s mine. It’s what I’ve built and can look back on and be proud of.”
“Well… I would not like to be ‘off the hook’ as you put it.” Malleus declared. Yuu blinked a few times- a little startled by his words. “I believe Yume is my daughter, and I want to have a relationship with her. If she is my daughter, then she has much to learn about her culture- and would be considered an heir to the Draconian family lineage-”
“Back off, Lizard!” Leona sprang up finally- as if finally finished with listening to Malleus. But Malleus would not stand for it any longer, as he also raised from his seat, much more smoothly and gathered.
“I let it pass once for the sake of propriety- but if you call me ‘Lizard once more-” Malleus snarled back- and the sky darkened more as the thunder grew closer. But that didn't deter Leona as he continued.
“Yume has to be my kid- You slept with all three of us only after the class reunion hosted by that octopus bastard, right?” Leona pointed to Yuu- who froze, looking at all three of them before nodding.
“Ummm- yeah… yeah I did…” She said awkwardly, pursing her lips.
“Well then that means I'm the first one you slept with.” Leona finished. “Which means the odds of Yume being my daughter are higher than the two of you. And like Vil said- I'm gonna take responsibility for her.”
Malleus raised an eyebrow, as he said; “Lilia has explained in utmost detail on how human children are conceived, and I do not deem it statistically impossible that either myself or Schoenheit could be Yume’s father. Conception does not equivocate to who copulated with Yuu first, but rather whose sperm fertilized it-” Vil scoffed, and shook his head at Malleus words.
“I will not sit here and argue back and forth with you two about who should be responsible for Yume-” Vil stood up as well, and Yuu sighed as she was the last to stand. “I need to make a call to my attorney-” Yuu’s face crumpled into one of worry, before Vil amended his words. “To get a paternity test in place. She will ensure it is done with the utmost care and secrecy as to not let any unwanted individuals from finding out. Then we can be sure who shall take responsibility of Yume. I will be right back-” And with that, Vil excused himself from the group- which left Yuu with Malleus and Leona.
Whilst ‘enjoying’ (suffering) in the silence between the three of them- Yuu started to contemplate the likelihood of each of them being Yume;s father. If they were going by when and how frequently Yuu had slept with each of them, then Leona had a fair chance either way. They had only been together once, however he was the first she had slept with… and then there was Vil- which lasted only a week, but they had slept together multiple times. And then there was Malleus- her last relationship, which has been her longest. They had been together for almost three weeks before she… Well, she left.
Yet another thing she had never really processed, as very soon afterward, she found out she was pregnant. Therefore, thinking about her romantic life and relationships went out the door- what she had to worry about was her own survival and the welfare of her baby. The said baby in question- Yuu could see looking down at her from an upstairs window.
Yuu gave her a stern look, and waved her hand as she shooed her away- as if telling her to get away from the window. Yume frowned, but withdrew from the window and Yuu shook her head.
“Is she a handful?” Leona asked- a smile on his face. Where most would seem annoyed at the idea of a child misbehaving, he found it amusing. Yuu chuckled, and nodded her head.
“Oh yeah- I would describe her more as an armful if im being honest.” Yuu said and Leona shrugged.
“I think all kids are an arm-full- It's just in their nature…” He sighed and Yuu tilted her head.
“If I recall, you don't really like children.” She said, “So… why? Why try to claim Yume?”
“Thats different.” He asserted. “If it's my problem- my kid, then atleast it's mine. I just… don't like dealing with others kids.” He shrugged- and part of Yuu told her to just drop it. It seemed like a deeper subject than she should broach, especially with Malleus right there. And Leona and Malleus already were not on very good terms with one another- and it seems the years did not ease those feelings of vexation that Leona held for Malleus.
Soon after, Vil came back, hanging up the phone as he approached them once more. “Well, that was my attorney. She was able to secure an appointment with a nearby clinic who can squeeze us in for an appointment early tomorrow morning. Which means that it will be private, and no one will see.” Vil sighed. “However, the clinic is extremely busy, so it will be a few days before we get any results…”
“Well, if that's the case, then I'm staying until those results do come in.” Leona stated.
“Likewise. It would be hard to leave the child of man and her child in such a state of uncertainty- and would pose more problems when it turns out I am the father-” Leona cleared his throat. “What I mean to say is; it will be easier to come up with a plan if I am the father and am already here.” Malleus corrected himself.
“I think it would be best for all of us to be here to wait for the results. I, myself have made time and postponed the project I was supposed to be working on until the results are in. I plan on spending as much time as I can to hopefully make up for the years I was not present in her life.” Vil explained.
“You all really don't have to-” Yuu started but was silenced by a well manicured finger being raised from Vil.
“Do not try to dissuade us- you have already gotten plenty of time with Yume- now it is our turn.” Vil remarked.
Yuu grimaced, before nodding. “Fine. But we do this on Yume’s terms. I don't want her to be overwhelmed.” And all three of them nodded in agreement. Yuu looked back towards her apartment, before turning to the three of them. “Let's all have some cake then… she invited all three of you, and it would be rude to make you leave now after making such a trip out here..”
“That sounds delightful.” With Malleus smiling, the overcast skies seemed to have vanished, leaving white fluffy clouds and the bright sun once more.
“Indulging in a slice of cake wouldn't hurt…” Vil concluded- and so, Yuu walked to the backdoor, going inside to gather her friends to come back out and to grab the cake. This would be one of those times she wouldn't mind letting Yume have a treat before dinner.
She opened the door- coming inside. “Okay- you guys can come back outsi- Did you start eating the cake!?” Yuu yelled, as she walked in on Ace, Deuce, Yume and Grim all going to town on the Ice Cream cake she had bought. There still remained a majority of the cake- but there were evident fork marks in a huge section of it- specifically cuttng into some of the bunnies.
Ace had a mouth full of cake, before chewing and swallowing a huge chunk. “Well… we waited for Yume technically…” He said as soon as his mouth was clear.
Yuu (for the millionth time that day because she cant catch a damn break) sighed- and defeatedly carried the remainder of the cake outside, with Yume skipping behind her- face full of frosting. She set the cake down on the table, and could see Vil, Leona and Malleus looking at her and the cake- confused.
“Before we sing-” Yuu bent down to speak to Yume. “Look- I dont know who your father is- however, Vil has arranged it so tomorrow we can go find out.” Yuu said.
Yume blinked, and then asked; “Wait- does that mean I have to go to school tommorow?” Yuu deadpanned at her daughter- out of all of her questions, that was the most pressing?
At the same time, both her and Leona responded with opposite answers;
“Yes.”
“No.”
“No? What do you mean no?” Yuu turned to him.
“I say we vote-” leona said, and Yuu frowned.
“There will be no voting! Im her mother and I say she is going to school-”
“Ah ah ah Potato, as we are now each have ⅓ rights as her father- we have a say as well… unless you want to discuss in further detail how we were deprived from this childs life until just now-” But Yuu gave in as to stop Vil.
“Alright! Fine- we will vote. All in favor of sending Yume to school tomorrow because she needs her education still, raise your hand.” Yuu raised her hand, and waited for one of them to as well, however- for once this afternoon (and perhaps all their years) all three of them finally agreed on something.
“All in favor of spending time with Yume for the remainder of the days until we receive information on her parentage- raise your hand.” Malleus said- and with an overwhelming four against one (thanks to Yume joining in on the vote)- Yuu was outnumbered.
She breathed in a deep breath before saying. “I dont like voting anymore.” And laughter erupted around her from everyone. She shot Deuce and Ace a dirty look as she internally labled them as traitors.
But… she was relieved. They would all have answers- this portion of her life would be finished and finally, Yume could have a father if thats what she wished for. And also a swell of sadness washed over her- for she would have to soon share Yume- something she selfishly did not want to do. Yume was hers- her daughter, her child, her everything- and if she shared Yume… then what would she have left?
She would worry about that once they knew for certain; for now, she just sat off to the side as she watched Yume enchant her three potential father’s and snack on her half melted slice of ice cream cake…
