@faithstar sent : " someone missed their dada. " copia murmured, holding up dusk who upon seeing phantom let out a happy squeal of delight before wiggling in copia's arms to try & get to phantom.
he'd been gone longer than expected . he had just intended to go to the nearest music store to stock up on picks and strings , maybe grab a new strap or two . nothing too crazy . but he'd forgotten just how much there was to look at , how many stores there were . he didn't go out often , not on his own . and even then , his outings were with copia or ghouls to grab a drink or something of the sort . but on his own in the middle of the day ? there's so much more to look at , so much more to get distracted by .
the first things he'd grabbed really had been picks and strings and a couple of really cool straps . but when he'd stepped outside , there was a toy store right across the street and all he could think of was how much dusk would love to have something new to snuggle up to . he'd promised himself it would only be one thing , maybe two . he had promised himself he'd limit it because he didn't want to completely fill their nursery with plushies or toys . but by the time he was stepping out , he had a bag full of toys and clothes that he couldn't wait to show his little family .
when he finally did walk back into the suite , he wandered into the living room , sheepish smile on his lips as he put several bags on one couch so that he could turn his attention to copia and little dusk . " oh , i'm sorry dusky . dad got a little distracted . " an embarrassed laugh as he takes the kit from his mate's arms . he cuddles the little one against his chest , cradling them with one arm , the other reaching into a bag to pull out a stuffed rat . a grin is tossed to copia before he takes the rat in hand end taps it against dusk's nose to pull a series of giggles from the kit . " i couldn't resist . i would've bought the whole store if i could've gotten it home . "
