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.

[Shiro moves to flip Stein off, but he remembers that there are children nearby, so that middle finger quickly becomes an open-hand wave. This makes Rin laugh for some reason.

Then he finally pulls himself out of the bush, but not before letting Rin slide off of his back. There are twigs in his hair and on his coat by the way.]

...alright. You win.

[circumsutus]

Of course I won. [He pats Yukio on the head.]

Yukio picked the right papa for this competition.

[lionson]

[Sob Stein how do you out-dad him?

Rin and Shiro have matching frowny faces though.]

You don't gotta rub it in you know.

[circumsutus]

[Because Stein is the ultimate dad.]

It's all right, Rin, you can come with me next time.

[lionson]

[Now Shiro has lost his other son, who is eagerly going over to hold Stein's hand and walk with him.]

Noooo! You're kidnapping my boys!

[circumsutus]

They're leaving with me of their own free will. [And he pats Rin on the head too.]

We're going to go get ice cream.

[lionson]

[Okay, he'll stop with the dramatics and go along with them. Because Stein is totally one of 'his boys' too. Just in another way.]

Again? These kids are going to be too hyped up to go to bed.

[circumsutus]

[A dramatic sigh, as Rin tugs excitedly on Stein's hand and begs for ice cream.]

Then we'll just have to wait for tomorrow. If you boys don't get to sleep, your Papa Shiro and I won't be able to get anything done.

[lionson]

[This prompts Yukio to ask what they need to do, and Shiro just grins.]

Oh, it's very, very, very boring work. Like cleaning the house, doing the laundry, washing the clothes...

[Blatant lies. But they are lies to protect the fragile minds of children.]

But if you boys want to help us with all the chores, you can stay up and work all night too.

[circumsutus]

Cleaning the toilets sounds like a good job for you, Yukio.

[lionson]

[At this point both boys are vehemently saying they want to go to bed, so Shiro is all too happy to give them what they want.]

Alright, alright. Once we get home, it's off to bed for you two.

[When was the last time two kids were excited to go to bed?]

[circumsutus]

[Rin, apparently, wants to be picked up. So Stein obliges, carrying the two boys easily.]

You two need to get your rest. You have school in the morning, remember? We'll have to do adult things all on our own.

[lionson]

[Oh right. School. That thing which takes the boys away all day.

Which means Stein can hang out all night and then all day. Perfect.]

And if you boys are good and go to sleep right away, I'll even make fried eggs for breakfast in the morning.

[Which is about the extent of Shiro's cooking abilities.]

[circumsutus]

I'll make rösti. [Stein is not above bribing encouraging good behavior by offering hashbrowns.]

[lionson]

[It is a perfect bribery. So perfect that, as soon as they get home, the kids immediately run to their room to go get ready for bed.

As soon as they get out of earshot, Shiro glances over to Stein.]

It'll take them about ten minutes to get ready for bed, and then another twenty to actually fall asleep.

[Meaning they have to look as boring as possible for another half-hour, so the kids don't change their minds about going to bed to avoid chores.]

[circumsutus]

Well, I'll start the laundry, and you can work on the dishes. [They can be something like mature for a half hour.]

[lionson]

[THE MOST RESPONSIBLE ADULTS]

Sounds good. You want to read their bedtime story to them?

[circumsutus]

Do you want me reading a bedtime story to them?

[lionson]

What, you're telling me you can't manage "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"?

[circumsutus]

That's boring. I'll find a Bible story to tell them.

[lionson]

At least use the kid's bible in their room.

[It glosses over all the really gross and horrifying parts.]

Remember, we don't want to give them nightmares.

[circumsutus]

So, not the death of Jezebel? [Not actually one he'd seriously considered, but properly horrifying, if told well.

Being shoved out of a window, breaking your neck, and then being eaten alive by dogs is obviously a good one.]

[lionson]

No, no death of Jezebel. And stay away from Cain and Abel too, and Joseph.

[Anything involving brothers being horrible to each other, mostly.]

David and Goliath might make a good bedtime story.

[circumsutus]

Hmmm.

Which of them is Cain? [Shiro should recognize the slight change in tone, the way his expression goes vaguely contemplative.

The boys are good kids, but there's no way to know what might happen later on.

[lionson]

In terms of age, Rin is, he's slightly older.

If you mean the other part, hopefully neither of them.

[No kids murdering kids plz]
