ASHES TO ASHES.

When you're in the DARKNESS long enough, you BEGIN TO SEE. I saw what lies ahead. What I NEED TO BE in order to SURVIVE. BATTLE NOT WITH MONSTERS lest ye become a MONSTER.

"shh, pet, the adults are speaking. stay quiet and you may have your say yet." (just yeets a fae at astrid)

for once, she is left speechless. it was a rare occurrence for her, often finding herself the one needing to have the last word. but the sheer audacity of the man before her shocks her into stunned silence. unable to do much else, ink black eyes bore hateful gaze into the intruder. the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. something about him, other than just his manners, didn't sit right with the werewolf. he put her on edge for some reason. and she did not like it one bit.

"You look beautiful." (Gio to Delia)

' giovanni ' is all she manages to stammer out. undoubtedly red in the face, dark eyes fall to the floor in search of something else to focus on. she had hoped professor oak wouldn't be long with their drinks, half afraid of ending up in this exact predicament. it was risky on his part, showing his face so shamelessly, as though he was one of many respected gym leaders. then again, that was just like him, shameless and bold. charming his way into every important inner circle of society, playing the part of pokemon philanthropist perfectly. ' what are you doing here? ' she manages to choke out, wishing for anything to help swallow down her nerves.

“And I thank you for giving him the closest to a normal life as he deserves, but you have to understand… It’s not like I abandoned him, and he needs to know this. He needs to know I WANT to be a part of his life, I AM trying.”

Homelander, however, stops his speech as she acknowledges this. a little squint of his eyes at her last words. “… Us?” He follows that one step, though in a less menacing manner, mostly curious. “you mean you and I?”

     ‘ you are, and i appreciate it. these past nine years, it’s just been the two of us. adding another person into the equation has been an adjustment and will continue to be an adjustment as we all figure out how to build a day to day routine with each other. but you’re trying and i can try harder to co-parent. but that’ll mean we will both need to work as a team. ’ 

     his words halted her right there. she could feel her stomach drop, the rush of blood to her face. anger and embarrassment that she might have implied anything of the sort. eyes drop, not wanting to meet his intense stare. ‘ oh, no. um, not that. i meant as far as exposure. you’re the homelander. that puts a target on your back. that target could extend to us, if the world were to find out about us. ’

“Now hold on a second, so you can dump all your previous life and play dead ‘for Ryan’s sake’ but I can’t make sacrifices??” He scoffs, trying not to raise his voice.

It was the same argument over and over and he was growing tired of it, taking a step forwards.

“I know you think I’m stupid and stubborn, but so far who’s the one who’s been adapting to YOUR lifestyle without questions??” His jaw clenches as he speaks. “Isn’t it time for you to give in some comfort as well? You think I’m not having trouble with rescheduling my entire life? to try my best??”

     ‘ can you blame me for being guarded? this is my son, homelander. i want him to have better than i did and i’ve dedicated my life to raising him in a home where he is loved and is growing into a well rounded human being. yes, you are his father. but i am his mother. ’ 

     she can feel the growing tension escalating, just as it always does. instinctively she takes a step back. as though it would make any sort of difference. 

     another deep inhale. ‘ you know what though? you’re right. i recognize that you are trying here and that you seem like you genuinely want to be a part of ryan’s life. i see the efforts you are trying to make and perhaps, yes, i could be more accommodating. i’m just terrified of the doors this will open for us now. ’

“ i had no idea if that was going to work. “ - micte @ death

' honestly, your guess is as good as mine at this point. better to try every option until we come to the right choice. at least then we will have done something as opposed to waiting for the inevitable shit to hit the fan.'

[leans his head on Death's shoulder] uvu

initially bristles from the sudden contact, relaxing when he realizes this is a familiar presence. very few he allowed such closeness. but he knew pilli and considered him a close friend. rather than looking up from the book in hand, he kept his pale gaze on the page, leaning head atop the other's. ' well hello to you too. '

Every now and then he got far too comfortable into the setting, like he could fit right into it, as if everything was going smootly, a common understanding… Except for moments like these. Moments that shattered his reality back into the mess it really was…

He still followed Becca outside, standing behind her until the moment she decided to face him, words slapping him worse than those strikes he knew she mentally threw at him sometimes.

“You mean I can’t parent my child all the time? Why? Cause it’s inconvenient to you?” They’ve had this talk before, and each time it was more tiresome than before. There were so many ‘rules’ Homelander had to abide if he wanted to stay here, but this was just too much at times.

     his presence was an intrusion to the peace she had spent the last nine years building. it had been naive of her to think that the two of them could remain hidden forever, but they had promised that they would be safe from him. yet here he stood. here after spending almost a week under the same roof as her, playing the father he wanted to be. 

     ‘ you’re the leader of the seven. sure, you can fly across continents in a matter of minutes, but life in the suburbs doesn’t seem like something you’d be happy with in the long run. out here away from all the action? wouldn’t you worry about missing potential moments of glory? ’ 

     she wanted him out; it was no secret. he knew it, she made it obvious enough that he was an unwelcome visitor. fact was he still scared her shitless in so many ways. that he could vaporize her in an instant was only one. that he could take her son another. but the moments where he fell into their routines, actually made an effort to help her and try to fit into the life she created with ryan were the worst.  

      ‘ what’s the end game here? you play father and we all play one big happy family? is what you’re doing now what’s best for ryan? i am only looking out for his best interest and i don’t want him to be left disappointed when you get bored and decide being a father isn’t worth the effort. being a parent is a lifelong commitment. are you sure you’re ready for that? ’

“It was still night as far as I can remember… Somewhere around 4?” He hums contently, taking in a deep breath of her scent mixed with the coffee in the air. “Can I have a cup of that?”

‘ you truly are something else. i dont know how you function with the hours you do.’ head shakes, taking a bite of the scrambled eggs she had made for herself. ‘ help yourself. sounds like you need it a hell of a lot more than i do. ’
