#ode prose

The Prose household was filled with children. Vitrail was very happy to know that her family was all happy and healthy even if they couldn’t have nice meals nor did they have enough space for the children to not be packed into their rooms but they were content. 

Despite knowing that they were not allowed to be together at all, Ode and Luna decided to be as close as possible before Ode shipped out. They decided that when Ode’s service was done, they’d run away together so they could be together. The day before Ode left was simply the beginning of their new life. 

Despite the loss of so many lives, it was a celebration when both Canvas and Light came home safe and physically unharmed. The party invited everyone though while Specter made an appearance, Web was nowhere to be seen. 

Despite the Fondant family in general holding very anti-color views, Luna thought everyone deserved to be treated properly. And though it was dangerous considering Luna’s parent’s views, Ode and Luna started to fall for one another. 

The older boys decided to get out of the house and make friends. At school they learned that there was a house full of kids nearby. Mrs.Quarry ran the children’s home and despite her stern face Limerick decided she was actually a nice lady. Ode found himself making friends with the sole boy of the house, Grapefruit Conch, while Rondeau befriended the Forest sisters, Olive and Lima bean. Limerick was happy to meet the oldest of the kids a girl named Tamarind Wood. 

It wasn’t long before the younger twins became toddlers. Sonnet had Gem’s hair and Matcha Swirl’s eyes while Cinquain had Vitrail’s coloring except for the red eyes he picked up from Gem. Vitrail was happy to have such a colorful household. 

It wasn’t long before Limerick and Ode were big enough to play on their own and learn to be a bit more independent. Limerick grew up with his mother’s hair color but his father’s everything else in terms of coloring. While Ode had his father’s hair and Matcha Swirl’s eye color. The adults of the Prose family all doted on the boys and were eager to meet the new little one or little ones though Treble and Vitrail hoped for a little girl. 

Limerick and Ode considered saying goodbye before they left for the military but decided not to so that they could avoid being as homesick while they were gone.
