“So wanna make a baby with me?” Bliitzo
Nights may be the prince's preferred time, but mornings weren't so terrible either. He rather liked this particular one as he stood before the stove, humming the tune of one of his favorite songs while cooking up breakfast. Upon the table sat a spread of fruits, pastries, cheeses, meats, and French toast. He was rounding things out with sweet crêpes. The imp usually in charge of cooking stood nearby, cloth over arm looking a little out of place. It wasn't the first time their task was overtaken, but he appeared vexed and a little downtrodden by it. Instead, he periodically moves to refill a water or glass of juice.
❝ Good morning, Blitzy~! Hungry? I am finishing up now, but there is plenty available already. I will join you at the table shortly. The girls already took their food and decided to eat together, I am afraid we do not get the privilege of their company this morning. ❞
Stolas brings a cup of tea to his mouth, savoring the aroma before taking an indulgent sip. Feathers ruffle briefly, every bone in his body soothed with honey and bergamot. The beverage barely makes it in before the query finds him and is promptly spat out. He chokes on it, taken aback by the weight of the words.
❝ O - oh! I. . . . What? Did you — ❞ A shrill sound escapes as smoke rises and Stolas swiftly removes the pan and turns off the heat. Nervous laughter bubbles out of him, hands shaking before he decides to set down the pan and hide them behind his back.
❝ Do I. . . . Do I want to what now? Is that something — do you want to have a child. . . . with me? ❞ Stolas wasn't against the idea, it merely caught him off-guard. He could feel his heart beating a frantic rhythm in his chest, hammering away as though it might take flight. A part of him worries, wondering if he was capable of such a feat. Via already went through so much, was he fit to parent another, to take such steps all over again? Perhaps it would be different with the one he loved. . . . Maybe it was possible, but the prospect of f a i l u r e gnaws at his bones and twists his stomach.
❝ I need you to be absolutely certain this is. . . something you want with me. . . And I, well, I think Loona and Via should have a say in it as well. . . Or at least, ought to be aware it is within consideration. ❞
