Romance open post

[maplepancakes]

This is the post for anything romantic with my characters! Love at first sight, confessing feelings, going on dates, whatever. If it is romantic, it goes here.

My muselist is Over here, so just comment with the name of whatever character you want in the header. If I play more than one version of a certain character, be sure to specify which version.

[Stein laughs, patting Rin on the head.]

I'm sure you are. [The enthusiasm is cute.]

You'll be ready sooner than you know.

[lionson]

[Wow, Stein is amazingly patient with kids. Shiro never doubted that Stein would be alright around Rin and Yukio, but thinking back he's trying to remember exactly when this change happened. Probably about the time Stein stopped being a creepy fucker.]

Have you ever thought about teaching at the academy? You might be good at it.

[circumsutus]

I doubt they'd let me. [One too many threats against other students when he was in school, one too many violent methods used against demons.]

[lionson]

It's worth a shot. If they let me teach, then they'll probably let you.

[Stein's past record is spotty, but he's been doing a lot better in the last decade or so. Even if he's crazy when it comes to demonthings, he's been good about not maiming humans.]

[circumsutus]

And then I'd wind up stabbing a teenager. [A pause, looking down at the boys.]

Don't stab teenagers, boys.

[lionson]

[Both of the boys just nod, and Shiro sighs.]

I'm going to hear about that at conferences, aren't I?

[circumsutus]

... Boys, don't stab anyone.

[Obviously, that was what Shiro was concerned about.]

[lionson]

[THAT WAS NOT HIS WORRY]

...

Just get me my cake, Stein.

[And the boys both starts screaming in joy, because cake.]

[circumsutus]

You can have anything you want, senpai. [Including, but not limited to, cake for everyone.]

[lionson]

[CAKE IT IS

And booze later, for Shiro. After the boys are asleep. But cake for now. And he is eating that cake and enjoying it.]

You know, this is the first birthday in a while where I haven't done everything for myself.

[circumsutus]

Well, now that you've managed to survive this long, I guess I'll take care of the rest of the birthdays. [Stein's been busy with SCIENCE the last few birthdays. Totally not his fault.]

[lionson]

[Science is no excuse.]

You better, I'm counting on you for it.

Maybe I'll take care of yours in exchange. It seems only fair.

[circumsutus]

I wouldn't complain about that.

[Rin makes a "blugh" sound. Like kids do when their parents kiss. HE KNOWS WHEN THEY'RE BEING MUSHY.]

[lionson]

[SMART KID]

It sounds like someone else is complaining, though.

[circumsutus]

[More hair-ruffling from Papa Stein to his obviously brilliant son.]

Complainers don't get any more cake, Rin.

[lionson]

[Definitely the best way to get Rin to stop complaining and stuff his face with cake. Though there will be sugar rushes to deal with later.]

I guess he thinks we're being too lovey-dovey.

[Clearly he's never seen Shiro and Stein actually be lovey-dovey. Even if it's just playing around, because neither of them are that romantic.]

[circumsutus]

You know, Rin, some people actually kiss. That would be much worse, wouldn't it?

[lionson]

[Clearly that is the grossest thing ever, because Rin is making such a face at Stein.

Shiro, however, looks mildly offended.]

Hey, it wouldn't be worse for me!

[circumsutus]

I'll kiss you later, senpai. [Yukio joins Rin in looking grossed out.]

[lionson]

[That's more like it. Shiro makes a kissy-face at Stein, but it quickly changes to a grin as he hears the two little boys go 'eeeeew!']

It sounds like they're about done eating. Maybe we should head home, it's getting late for them.

[circumsutus]

All right. Let's go, you two. [It takes a bit of work for Stein to pay and carry both of the boys, since of course they want to ride piggy-back on him, he's huge to five year olds.

But eventually, they're on their way home.]

[lionson]

[Stein the giant monster of a man.

Shiro will just walk beside them, though he'll step in to scoop up Rin the moment he gets too wriggly and starts to fall off Stein's back.

Then he gets an idea.]

Say, think we could win a race against them?

[Which Rin just nods excitedly to.

A challenge has been issued, Stein. Do you accept?]

[circumsutus]

Hold on tight, Yukio. [Stein grins, and waits for Shiro to take off running. He'll even give the older man a head start.]

[lionson]

[Daww how nice.

Shiro is totally taking advantage of that, by the way. He's running down the street as fast as he safely can with a small child on his back.]

[circumsutus]

[And here comes Stein, taking advantage of his extra height to catch up, one arm holding Yukio to his chest.]
