Open to requests :) hope everyone that reads enjoys :)
You had been waiting patiently for Vander to get back. Unable to sit still so you had cleaned the little apartment just off the bar for his return. You readied all the soaps and towels for him to clean himself of the filth he’d carry back. The small first aid kit ready at hand for when walked through the doors.
Pouring yourself a small glass of some unnamed whisky that had just been sitting forgotten. You went to take a sip when the door had opened, your eyes lift and widen. Vander walks in bloody and beat up but with two children sleeping in his arms.
“The- the uh- apartment. Put them there” you stutter out as you discard the glass and he gives a silent nod before climbing the stairs, following behind him as your mind fills with questions.
Watching him, you wonder what he plans on saying. You know the children, you know their mother. Had she died? No one came tumbling in after him even now in the silence you don’t hear the door open. Would it be your responsibility to help him care for the children? You remember having conversations after conversation with him about how you were not ready for this kind of thing.
“You should wash up” you mumble out and he nods as you move past him to cover the two up, following him back towards the bathroom.
Would he explain it now or tomorrow? You fear you might not be here tomorrow. You had gotten a message from one of your friends that someone needed your help or rather just needed you. He’s undressed, stepping into the water. You move slowly towards the toilet and plop down on it.
The water cuts out and he’s reaching for the towel and once it’s wrapped around his waist he steps out and sits on the edge of the tub. Your eyes move from your hands to him. His eyes on his hands that wring together. He lets out a defeated sigh before turning towards you.
“I know this isn’t what you had expected, but their mother is dead” his tone low and you give a nod “they don’t have anyone else, it’s my job to look after the lanes now, it’s my job to make sure those kids are safe” he hasn’t been saying we, so maybe he doesn’t expect you to step up, he’s always told you too, always made sure you could handle what he drags back but right now you’re not sure you’d be able to step up as a sort of mother figure to two kids.
“Vander…” you start and he puts his large calloused hand on yours “I’ll help you as much as I can but I won’t be the best-“ he cute you off “you don’t have to be the best, just as long as you’re here, that’s enough” a soft smile forms on his face and you give a nod
“Where are we going to sleep, huh?” He asks as he pulls you up with him and you let out a soft laugh as you shrug your shoulders, his hands moving to your waist to pull you closer to him “as long as I’m with you, I can sleep anywhere” he press a soft kiss to your lips before pulling you with him to figure out where you both would be sleeping until other arrangements were made.
