[that's different, this konpeito isn't going to keep nico from bleeding out.

anyway, will smiles at him and then chuckles upon seeing the cocoa puff. like father, like son. he'll feed shame a piece of konpeito too and then scritch the little demon behind the ears.]


Yeah, but you're a quick learner.
resumed: (chat ♕ blah blah blah)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the glowing teeth flash suddenly as it chomps down to take the konpeito, immediately "purring" under the scritches from will. and nico's rolling his eyes both at the demon and at will. ]

Flattering me is not going to get me to agree, but thank you.

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-13 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
What's your bet for what the weird effect will be, then?

[he says, continuing to give shame scritches.]
resumed: (chat ♕ so it's like this)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-13 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ shame allows and is busy trying to crawl on will now. ]

Quoting memes, what else? [ no. ]
stunwhistle: (004)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[will allows this. this is his stepson.]

Which meme are you going to quote way too often if that's it?
resumed: (intrigued ♕ do tell)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
What makes you think I'm gonna spoil the surprise? [ he says, watching the cocoa puff slowly ascend to the top of will's head and cover his eyes with its shadow paws. ]
stunwhistle: (022)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[he gives him the biggest puppydog eyes he can muster




expcept then the cocoa puff is covering his face. will splutters out a laugh.]
resumed: (smile ♕ softly)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's a grin that follows, and he's rolling out his shoulders to stretch. ]

Deserved. It's your turn to babysit for a bit.
stunwhistle: (076)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[he would wink at him except the puff is covering his eyes]

It's not babysitting, it's coparenting.
resumed: (smile ♕ devious)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ the puff is too comfortable here, goodbye. anyway he raises an eyebrow. ]

Is that what we're calling it now?
stunwhistle: (Default)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
That is definitely what we're calling it now.

[he chuckles, reaching up to his head to give the cocoa puff a little pat.]

See, it doesn't mind.
resumed: (neutral ♕ ohio is for lovers)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Careful. If you give them too much attention now the others will be jealous when we get home. [ as if this is actually going to happen. the puff chirrups and loafs on will's head happily. ]

...you've really gotten used to them, haven't you?
stunwhistle: (098)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[he smiles serenely.]

Then I'll just have to give them plenty of attention when we get back.

[...but, ah. yeah.]

Mm. It's like I said before - I accept them. [he doesn't repeat exactly what he'd said before, since they have an audience. but. nico will know.] I know it's probably been frustrating waiting for me to get used to them, so - thanks. For being patient with me.
resumed: (cocoa puff ♕ i'm your dad now)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
I have a feeling they're going to be just as energetic when we get home as they were when they first came back with us.

[ but he looks briefly surprised before he settles again. very fond, very gay, very sweet. ]

You're doing better with trying to understand. [ it's murmured a little because they are still around an audience. ] And you know I appreciate that. Obviously they do, too.
stunwhistle: (002)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
[with a slight note of amusement - ]

Should I take them out for walks, do you think? Work some of their energy out?

[he can go on a hike with the cooca puffs...]

I'm trying. I want to do right by you, Nico. You know that.
resumed: (neutral ♕ music to my ears)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
I might have to go with you if they're feeling shy and want to follow me around again. [ band of cocoa puffs.

anyway. he continues to grin at that even if he's looking away. ]


I do know that, yeah. You've been doing fine so far.
stunwhistle: (003)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
So we could go on walks together. That sounds nice to me.

[it's nice to imagine - being back at camp, strolling around hand-in-hand while the cocoa puffs trail along behind them like smoky, shadowy ducklings.]

...good. I'm glad to hear that.
resumed: (smile ♕ fondly)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
We've got the whole of autumn to get them integrated. They'll probably love that.

[ someday, maybe, when they get home. but he's turning to shift and rest himself against will's shoulder while he has the puff. ]

Don't think otherwise. [ will is doing right in a lot of ways. ]
stunwhistle: (110)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
[when they get home, yeah.

nico leans against him, and will settles. they can just fall asleep together like this, it's fine.]


I won't. [oh, he's getting kind of sleepy... his eyelids feel heavy. what time is it, anyway? are they drifting off naturally, or is this how the curfew knockkout starts?] I'll see you in the morning, Nico.
