pure-hearted.

{ 真実 } He couldn’t help but giggle a little more at Yuuki’s playful nature, letting himself be dragged along by the child to see their mother. It was rather sweet, knowing they’d rather see their parents flying together than gaining the ability to fly themselves, but such a wish also hit a bit too close to home. Was that not the desire a certain someone had when he had been lost to darkness? At least, Koto seemed to imply such a thing, but they were too shaken by the thought to tell him everything.

Well, for now he would treasure the happiness Yuuki brought them both. In return, he’d do whatever it took to ensure their own happiness. It was the least he could do for the two people in his life that meant everything to him.

Seeing one of those dear people fast asleep worried him a little, but Koto wasn’t having nightmares, so it was alright. They were tired often, something that he may or may not have had a hand in, but at least now they would be able to get some actual rest. Even with a drawing on their head.

“There, I know they’ll see it when they wake up. In the meantime, what do you want to do, Yuuki?”

To be fair, as a doll, Yuuki had already experienced ‘flying’ of a sorts, though that was merely just floating around behind Shin while he did his work. Then again, they didn’t remember too much of it, besides the occasional dream or nightmare, but they were content to leave that life behind and start anew. Besides, they occasionally hitched rides with their father anyway, so they wouldn’t mind not growing wings. And their previous life still influenced them--all they wanted was for their parents to be happy. But luckily, they had feelings of their own now, wants and needs, and in all honesty, the life now was what they had always wanted--to be human, and for their parents to be happy and safe.

Happiness was abundant in the realm now, after all. That was all that mattered. Day-to-day life was full of smiles and laughs, and any tears were from small things. The smell of death was forever banished from the family, and so they were grateful. Grateful to their parents, and to the forces above that took pity on the angel, the human, and the doll.

Still, even if they’d had a supernatural beginning, they were still a child, and couldn’t help giggling non-stop. Kotose was fast asleep though, the giggles only causing a tiny smile to form on their face in their sleep [ though that smile was hidden by the drawing currently on their head ]. 

“ Yes, yes !! Maybe Mama can grow wings too, someday ! ” 

...Not exactly how that works, but denying the child in their excitement was probably not the best thing. A tiny hand reached up to pull gently on their father’s robe, dragging the angel through the realm to the room where they’d last seen Koto.

“ Mama, mama-- ! ”

But when they flung open the door, the only response was a tiny snore. An exhausted parent was stretched out on the bed, eyes shut, deeply in sleep--with no nightmares, for once. ‘Mama’ must have been pretty tired from... uh, who knows what, but they certainly weren’t waking up any time soon.

{ 真実 } Oh boy. It wasn’t the issue of not being able to cuddle the pink puff that made Shin unwilling to buy the plushie, it was the fact that Yuuki had too many already. At this rate they’d run out of room for them all, and there was no way he was putting any of the toys in his studio, should they get mixed up with…other things.

But then again, if he didn’t get it, “Mama” would never let him hear the end of it, especially with the puppy eyes his child was giving him…Sigh.

“…Alright, I’ll get it…just make sure you take care of Kirby, okay?”

“ YAAAAAAAAAAY !!!!! I’ll make sure to take super duper good care of him ! He’s the best hero, after all ! Weeell... aaaaalmost the best, ‘cause you and Mama are the absolute best ! ”

Though Yuuki may be a master at getting their parents to spoil them, they did look up to both their father and guardian as the best people they could be. After all, though the innocent child seemed to be just a normal little kid, they’d seen the best -- and the worst -- of both of them. And yet ‘Papa’ and ‘Mama’ were still heroes in their eyes. 

“But-- ! Dad, please...? He’s so cute, and I haven’t seen this one anywhere yet... ! Look at Kirby’s happy face ! I’ll even let you and Mama cuddle him, too ! ” 

KOTO’S OWN ARMS moved to envelop their child further, a tinge of worry spreading through them – Yuuki had never experienced such cold before. Hopefully they were warm enough, though no doubt Koto would be checking every five minutes to make sure their child wasn’t freezing. Feet crunched through the snow, nudging the door shut behind them.

“Of course…! I’m sure he’ll be happy to see so many angels like him! Do you want to see how to make one?”

Even if they weren’t used to the cold, Yuuki was confident it wouldn’t be something they couldn’t handle. After all, their mother was super warm...wrapped snugly in those arms, they knew they would be safe. The small child buried themselves in the hold, still looking out at the powdery white snow below them.

“You can do lots of stuff with the snow!! You can sculpt it and form lots of things! I’ll show you how to make a snowball, a snowman, and even a snow angel, like your father!!” ( They hugged the child closer as they opened the door to the outside, shivering slightly in the cold but their smile never wavering. )

The minute they stepped out the door, Yuuki shuddered slightly, clinging tighter onto Koto but still looking around in awe at the wintry scene around them. They never realized how cold the world could get at this time of year...they could even see puffs of smoke coming out of their mother’s mouth. Amazing!

“Ah…!” ( They’d forgotten it was snowing outside - and that Yuuki hadn’t seen snow yet.  A smile tugged at their lips, and in response, they reached down for their child, hoisting them into their arms with a joyful laugh. ) “It’s called snow, Yuuki! I’ll show you how to play in it…!”

Eyes scanned the building in front of them, Yuuki’s curious nature piqued with the nature behind said edifice. The concept of ‘school’ - where children ( like them! ) would learn and play... it was foreign to what they had known. A life revolving mostly around their parents would determine as such, though, and they supposed they had... special circumstances. 

But it seemed like such a fun idea! Even with the ‘monsters’ scattered among the people now ( which, though some were eerily similar in appearance to the devils that their father fought, they all seemed kind and open ), they still had that curiosity. So their mama carried them here, to learn more about the world ( though mama’s face seemed to be worried as well ). Now, with mama hovering nearby, Yuuki wandered to what was called the ‘playground,’ where laughter bounced through the air. 

Delicate, petite fingers curled into the fabric of their robe, eyes quickly darting around as people flowed around them, barely casting a glance at the lost child as they went about their day. Yet they tried to not seem scared, tried oh-so-desperately not to panic. After all, they were the one who maaaay have snuck out because they wanted to see the world. 

Mama and Papa must be really worried... A guilty thought flashed through their mind, and light hair bounced as they turned their head to try and figure out where, exactly, they had come from... to no avail. 

A tail? It was a very colorful tail for sure, the feathers unlike the pure white ones their father had attached to his back. It was still avian in nature though, and Yuuki continued to look at it, held in their tiny hands. Surely a human couldn’t be a peacock, but a hero...

“Hm...? Oh, hello! Would you like or reblog this if you’d like to interact with a fandomless OC? Thank you, friend!”
