Hello! Iāve been asking a bunch of people to do this request because I want to see everyoneās different headcanons. How would the MLQC boys react to MC being a single mother? She never told them she has a 7yr son because they never thought to ask and weāll call him Liam instead of āher sonā. So they found out when Liam ran to her. MC is still young since Liam was born from unfortunate events like rape (she loves her son to death). How would the guys try to bond with Liam?
Trigger warning: ask centers around rape
š· Victor š·
He never would have imagined you were a single mother, let alone to a seven-year old. You were really good at hiding it!
Itās likely he overheard a snippet of a phone call when trying to approach you about work. A tiny little ālove you mommy!ā on the phone during a break he didnāt know you were taking
Is kind of blown away you can strike the work-life balance and avoid being so consumed. Victor, himself, is bad at balancing intimate relationships outside of work so you mystify him
Gets super curious about this kid and slyly devises some work event that itād be okay to bring them to
Realizes itās a bad idea when heās overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people--and kids--he has to greet, but likes that your kid was pretty quiet (shy) and sat at a table with you
He was playing with the big, fancy cloth napkins and Victor decided to fold one up in a semi-complicated design next to his
You introduce the two and it starts as Victor showing him how to fold napkins and teaching him about food
Casually drops Souvenir having a āLittle Chefs dayā and encourages you to bring him
Victor canāt be the one running the class (obviously) so Mr. Mills does it and he helps grab all the stuff to make mac nā cheese
Your son follows along, gets messy, and corrects Victor on how much cheese mac nā cheese ACTUALLY needs. (āYou want it to be really good! The best, like angels singing in your mouth, and that means lots of cheese!ā)
Victorās stomach hurts from all the cheese, but the whole thing was amusing
Heās suddenly āin the neighborhoodā a lot, and comes to sit with you and your son
When you have to collaborate with him on work, Victor insists you bring him so you donāt waste money on a babysitter. (āThereās two of us and one of him, it canāt be that hard.ā)
Eventually learns the truth after the two of you have grown much closer and takes a deep, personal interest in making sure Liam never has that awful person for a father figure
āJust becauseā trips to places the three of you would like
Is basically your boyfriend/the dad figure but wonāt own up to it unless super pissed off or being challenged in public. Will admit to it more when youāre married.
š¢ Gavin š¢
Kind of dense about it. Had suspicions but no proof, and when he saw you two side by side, you picking him up to hug him, the similarities were PRETTY OBVIOUS
Birdcop felt kinda dumb
Becomes hyperfocused after that. When did this happen? A SEVEN YEAR OLD?! He never wouldāve guessed!
Is worried the kid will be the total opposite of him--not super active, hates loud noises, etc--but is glad he can break the ice by showing him a cop car or his motorcycle
Answers all the typically excited job questions as best he can
Conveniently shows up at a school fitness day as a supervisor or some safety tie-in with the police department
Is happy to see him being nice to the other students and participates a little but mostly watches with you on the sidelines
Doesnāt ask you some of his questions since thereās other people nearby, but invites you two to āa little placeā he was going to afterwards
One dinner date turns into a few more, and Gavin is grasping at straws trying to invite you to stuff just to hang out. Heās got a soft spot for the kid and he sees his eyes light up and Gavin just canāt.
They turn into weekend buddies--fun at the park, movies, the whole nine yards!
He realizes this dynamic is getting pretty serious when your kid invites him to an award night at school. Itās just you two and Gavin is embarrassed but soooo proud! His heart is fluttering!
You tell him the truth about Liamās conception and Gavin can only HOPE the guy is already dead. Boy is MAD. The news reported some wind issues for the next few hours, even into the next day.
Probably has a dark circle of people and MAKES SURE the guy doesnāt cause you any problems and stays FAR AWAY.
Focuses on being a good figure in Liamās life.
The type to go āI know that kidā and cheer him on at school functions. Heās got a distant older brother/aloof but warm personality so the transition to dad is going to be natural and hard to see.
š¬ Lucien š¬
Probably figured it out before you ever told him. Considered that heās a cousin/nephew or the kid happens to look somewhat like you (features can be common, etc.) but his gut says otherwise
Now that he thinks about it, heās seen the kid off in the background when he dropped by your house sometimes. He just assumed you were babysitting a neighbor child.
When the two of you come to see him, holding hands, he knows. Youād run back to Lucienās house and picked something up for him while he was stuck in a lecture.
Is too nosy for his own good--no matter how subtle--and offers to treat you for the errand. Whatever your kid wanted, he picked.
Lucienās a people-watcher and found your kidās table manners pretty interesting and he was pleased to note he wasnāt overly loud.
Their interests didnāt perfectly line up but Lucienās absolutely voracious when it comes to learning and reading, so he had SOMETHING to say about Liamās likes. Didnāt mind learning more from your excited, scatterbrained kid. Itās always funny to see people so passionate.
If he likes to sketch, Lucien could probably turn a sketch into a tiny robot or something. That puts him high on Liamās list!
If heās a more active/outdoor child, Lucien will invite the two of you along on a less-serious version of field research
Lucien can somehow always find the most interesting but less public city events, so it makes it fun and mysterious to tag along
Volunteers to babysit him when youāre super busy
They swap books and Lucien seems to have extra movie tickets lately
You guys drive to the Research Center to check on him one night when his experiment runs late and Lucien knows that this is a thing. You guys are a thing now. Youāve shown him that dedication and heāll give it back two-fold (at least).
When he realizes no father figureās coming in to make a fuss, Lucien has several theories. Finally inquires over a cup of tea, late at night when Liamās asleep.
āAlthough certainly not ideal, Liamās proof that good things can come out of a bad situation.ā
Heās pretty vigilant about renewing any court-based paperwork that involves keeping the father away. Would probably kill him to really get him out of the picture, but has too many ideas and would rather not bother. The ultimate victory would be yours and Liamās success, and heāll invest in that instead.
š¤ Kiro š¤
You and Liam were out buying groceries and running errands on your day off. Kiro was out (in disguise) trying to follow the diet his nutritionist set up...plus a few bag of chips
The two of you ran into each other at a booth giving away free samples. Kiro ABSOLUTELY can never turn down samples because theyāre too small to matter and theyāre usually junk food.
He says hello vaguely, as always, but when the kid says āMommy, whoās that?ā Kiro absolutely loses it with disbelief and excitement
You rush him back to your house before he can blow his cover and the media gets the wrong idea
Kiroās naturally a big kid at heart, and with his charming Evol, it wonāt be hard for him to connect. Not that heād use it.
If he gets too excited, itāll happen accidentally.
Heās used to kids being excited to meet him so itās a pretty easy introduction.
They talk superheroes, food, and all kinds of things!
If your kidās not a big singer or dancer, Kiroās more than happy to show him how to play the guitar or drums the next time you hang out. Kind of regrets that last one. But hey, heās happy! That counts for something!
These two TOTALLY have a system where Liam brings him ācontrabandā food when you visit and he HAS to take it because it would be rude to refuse a fanās gift. Savin is not pleased.
Liam starts to understand that Kiroās really busy or canāt go outside a lot/has to be private, so when the three of you hang out you usually bingewatch stuff or play video games. Thereās always waaay too much takeout, but itās delicious!
If you go to Kiroās place, he probably installs a little fake sports hoop so they can play indoor games
Sometimes drops little coded messages in live vids (āAnd a special hello to my main man L!ā) he loves it because it drives the internet absolutely nuts with trying to figure out who it is
Heāll casually arrange phone calls/voice messages from any of your sonās favorite TV characters/actors and make it seem like aĀ āno biggieā kind of thing. Kid super loves him then!
Not 100% what Kiro was aiming for--just trying to do something nice--but heāll take it!
When he bothers to share any good news with Kiro, thatās when he knows heās in the circle. You guys are close now.
When Kiroās out supporting bands of designing a new stage line up, he likes your sonās input and will probably add a few of his favorite bands just so he has a reason to come.
Itās an unlikely family, but itās a happy one. A happy one that is guarded to the teeth and Kiro has no qualms about bulldozing that disgusting excuse of a human in court.
May or may not put out a hit as Key. Heās a master hacker and could get rid of traces pretty easilyĀ
