okok i know sir nighteye is dead blah blah whatever but imagine an au where he never dies but simply loses an arm and retires the agency to centipeder and bubble girl. IMAGINE GRUNKLE NIGHTEYE
GRUNKLE NIGHTEYE. THEY CALL HIM THAT CUZ HE ALWAYS LOOKS GRUMPY XD (fun fact: I actgually planned for Hatsume's kid to call Higari Grunkle)
Like, imagine if you will: Nighteye is retired to office work, having lost an arm and half of his stomach from that rock shard stabbing through him. He's at home, finishing up some paperwork when Bubblegirl and Centipeder show up for dinner - it's just a casual get together to talk and such (aka Nighteye misses being in the field and wants to make sure his two sidekicks are okay but shh don't tell them that-)
They bring Ryunosuke along, he's itty bitty, lets say four going on five - it's the first propper time they meet as Bubblegirl and Centipeder have always been too busy with work and his care to make time to visit Nighteye. Nighteye leans down to eye level, Ryunosuke hardly flinches...then he just blurts out "Grumpy"
Bubblegirl goes to scold him, then Ryunosuke grabs his nose and says "Grunkle" - Nighteye let out the teeniest, tiniest hardly audible giggle, then swiftly moved on with laying the table as though nothing happened!
