Title: subbing in Cyno, thinking: I finally had the time to attend the PTA meeting at Collei's school. Tighnari usually attends, but his migraine worsened and he can handle noise even less than usual. Lady: Oh, it's Collei's other dad! So nice of you to fill in for your husband! You are a lucky lad you know! He's so knowledgeable and kind. And he's very good at management [blah blah blah...] Facilitator: The meeting will start now! Lady: Oh, I better go now... Cyno: Yes, please be careful... [Later, after the meeting] Cyno, thinking while driving: HUSBAND?????? Collei: Mr. Cyno? Tighnari: Focus on driving!!!!

Title: the 9 year old elephant in the room Note: Collei (now 15 y/o, been with them for 7 years) is sleeping over with Amber, Cyno and Tighnari are having dinner with a mutual friend. Friend: You guys aren't dating?? Don't you two literally share an apartment? and a kid? Tighnari: It's cost-efficient. Friend: But haven't the both of you been buddies since the Akademiya? Cyno: Maybe he hasn't gotten sick of me yet. Friend: But didn't Cyno have a crush on Nari way back when? Tighnari: Ye— he WHAT.

Title: slip of the tongue Collei: Hey dad— I mean, Mr. Tighnari, can I have a group study with Amber and Eula? Tighnari: Sure, just make sure to bring your medicine okay? And tell Cyno to pick you up since I'm going to Pardis Dhyai before dinner. Collei: Okay, thank you! Tighnari: ... Tighnari: (internally) DAD????

more cynonari + au notes under the cut ↴

Tighnari, once he's gotten over the shock: Seems like your dad jokes license has been revoked Cyno: she called you "dad" first???? Cyno:

Note: To be clear, Collei in this AU was adopted by Cyno when she was 8. Cyno never urged her to call him "dad" because to him, her comfort is his top priority. Soooo, Collei calls both of them by name for a looong while.

also english is so hard yall like how do i express both familiarity and respect while calling someone? something that can be equated to "tito" or "tita"?? (im filo hii👋) i don't want collei to call them "uncle". people have called english the least affectionate language and i have to agree.
