You sat up with a yawn and ran your hands over your face before looking around the room.
Sylvanas scent was gone so she must've left.
Your mother was gone too.
Though, the bed was still warm. You pushed yourself up and out despite your inner laziness screaming for you to go back to sleep.
"What were doing just walking around...?" You heard Aphmau say,
"Mm. My Dad was at work so I decided to go out and buy myself some donuts! I was actually going to head home and eat them there." You slowly crept downstairs, your ears twitching at the fimilar voice.
"No, No. It's okay. Yo-You can eat them here!"
"You sure? I heard about everything that's been happening recently from Y/n and...I-I know how hard that is. I don't want to impose--"
"Your fine. She's just as bad as me believe it or not. I think Y/n could use a friend."
Once you made it all the way downstairs you turned to the couch to see Logan sitting next to Aphmau in a white hood with yellow stripes going around the forearms.
Aphmau turned to you with a shakey smile.
"Morning." "Hm...What are you doing here Logan?" "Ah I was...Y'know...In the neighborhood. I-I was just about to go home though! I don't really want to interuppt anything..."
"Your not, Logan. Your acting like I'm a stranger...Aha...I-I'll be upstairs. If you need anything...Call."
Aphmau stood herself back up, still in Aarons jacket, and made her way back up the stairs leaving you and Logan alone.
You stared at him with a neutral expression.
"So," He started. He held up a jelly filled donut that was covered in icing, "Want a donut?"
---
You bit into the doughy treat as did Logan. The two of you were sitting at the kitchen table.
"And that's what happened..." You finished explaining.
"Oh. Yeah, that does suck. Sorry, Y/n." You shrugged and continued to eat in an awkward silence as did Logan.
"Want a chocolate one?" "...Really?"
"I-I'm just kidding!" "Hmph..." "Oh, come onnn! You always laugh at Rocky and Alex's jokes."
"Heh...That's because Alex and Rocky are good at telling jokes." "H-Hey! I can be good at telling jokes!"
"Yeah right."
"I think they're rubbing off on you...But...I'm happy. That I got you to smile. I could tell that something was off when you left school that day. You didn't seem happy at all. Your not that hard read, y'know? You try to mask your feelings but it doesn't work. Not on me at least. Or Asher. Honestly, I think he could tell something was wrong way before I could."
"Really?" "Yeah. But...I don't blame you. This type of stuff hurts.." "Oh yeah?" "Y-Yeah!" "And how would you know, huh?" You answered, a bit snippily.
Logan winced at yout tone but smiled to ease tensions.
"My parents aren't together either." "...Huh?" "My parents aren't togeth--" "I heard you! I mean...I didn't know that."
"Eh. Not everyone does. Just the people we know know bout' that. Our teacher too. My Dad has custoday rights over me...? My Mom lives out of state. If something happens to my Dad then I need to go live with my Mom. And if I think it's best for me, I can go to this court thingy and state that I want to go with her."
"Why didn't you go with her?"
"I was going to. Since my Dad works a lot it'd be a bit better fo live with ny Mom. But if I went with her, I'd never see my friends again. I'd never see Asher, Alex, Rocky, Ethan, Nico, or Sophia ever again. And with you around, it gives me even more resolve to stick around! Why would I want to leave all that?"
"...Logan..."
"It's okay. I'm okay with all of this. I have been for years. Hold on--! That's not why I brought this up! I brought this up cause I can relate to you on...Some level, I guess. Losing a parent can be tough. I just wanted to let you know it gets better."
"Do I have a thing called custody rights? Cause if I do, I want Aaron to have my custody."
"What? No you don't."
"Yeah I do! He-He shouldn't have left. Aphmau was being a jerk and stupid! It makes me mad!"
"I know. It made me mad too. It made me mad for a long time. But...It's nobodys fault. No one is in the wrong here. And from what Asher has told me, Aphmau was the first to have you right? I know you don't mean what you said. About leaving her. You'll be mad now. But you won't soon. They'll make it work! If you want to see Aaron, I'm sure she'll let you. He is your Dad. Parents can't keep the other parent away from their child unless the situation is deadly, dangerous, and they had a compelling reason when with the judge. Everything will work out. It won't be normal but it'll be okay, I guess. It's better to try not to think about it,"
Logan ate the rest of his donut before smiling at you.
"Besides! Maybe none if that will happen and it will all work out! And if it doesn't, you get to have two christmas's!" You laughed quietly and also ate the rest of your donut.
"Yeah, two christmas's do sound nice." "Right?" "...Thanks Logan. Your a good friend." You then jolted when Logans happy face morphed into an utterly devastated one.
"Wh-What...?" "You just...Friendzoned me!" "Logan, you've been friendzoned." "Bu-But I thought we were building something!" "Yeah. A good friendship."
"AHHH---! THE MORE YOU TALK THE MORE YOU BREAK MY HEARRRRT~!"
"Your being dramatic. If you won't eat your donut, I will." "He-Hey! Hold on! Give it back!" "Aha!"
You kept Logans donut and shoved it in your mouth with a cheeky giggle. He sighed and rested his chin on the table.
"At least I got you to smile again."
Shortly after you two finished off the donuts, and watched a new episode of F/S, Logan left with a smile.
"Bye Y/n! See you tommorow!" "Mm. See you tommorow Logan. And thanks for the talk. I really needed it."
"Aww...Y/n--" "Your donuts too." "Yup. Rocky and Alex are totally rubbing off on you." You laughed and waved as Logan made his way back to his house before closing the door.
It was a lot darker out now.
You looked up and the stairs and sighed but nodded ande made your way up.
You knocked on the door, fidgiting with the ends of your short.
"Mom? Logan left..." "Did he?" "Mhm. I also brought you a donut if you want one. It's chocolate." "And don't worry...I didn't lick it." "...Come in."
You pushed the door open and ran into the room to toss yourself on Aphmaus bed.
She laughed when you struggled to get yourself out of the covers before succesfully lifting yourself up with a gasp.
"Your bed almost ate me...!" "No it didn't. Your just being silly." "Yeah...I am. Here." You gave Aphmau the donut making her sit up.
"Thanks." "Mhm..." The two of you sat in a rather awkward silence until you spoke up.
"Logan told me what happens in divorce." "Hm?" "He told me that...You have custody. I think...And that I can see Aaron if I want too. Is that true?"
"Well - Uhm - It is right to can extent."
"Oh. Then...Can I go see Aaron?" "It's not that easy Mija...I wish it was but it's not." "Why?"
"Cause...It's hard to explain. I don't actually have all custody rights over you. And neither does Aaron. Infact, I'm not sure if Aaron has any."
"Huh?"
"It's...Complicated."
"Okay. But do you think he'll come back?" Aphmau brought you in her arms and shrugged.
"I'm not sure. I know he's thinking of you though. Remember, Aarons not upset with you, he's upset with me. Don't even doupt that." "If he's not upset with me then...Why'd he block me?"
"He didn't block you. He blocked me and it got transferred over to the tablet."
"What? Why would Aaron block us?"
"I'm...Not sure, actually. And if he doesn't come back then...We'll make it work."
"Hehe...That's what Logan said." You yawned.
"You sleepy?" "Mm-hm..." "Go to sleep. I'll be right here." "Mkay...And I just wanna say tha--"
You two jumped when Aphmau receieved a message.
"Huh...?" "Hey...Who's that?" You peeked over her shoulder and read the message aloud.
"Hey Shu, It's been awhile...Would you mind meeting me the place I first met the real you...?...Mom, who's this? And...Why are they call you Shu?"
"It's Aaron..."
"Wha...?"
"First spot where he met the real me..?"
"Hey..What does that mean?" "I think
he means...!" Aphmau gasped and stood up.
She took your shoulders in her hands and gave you a serious expression.
"Y/n, I'll be right back." "Wait, what!? A-Are you going to see Aaron? Can I come?"
"No. Cause if I'm wrong...I need you to stay here. Okay?"
She went to make leave but stopped when you clung to her shirt.
"Don't leave me!" "I'll be right back. I won't be gone for more then an hour." "But--" "Close your eyes." Her soft voice spoke.
You nodded and closed them, scared she'd take off in the midest of you being distracted.
"Act like your going to sleep. And when you wake up, I'll be here. Okay?"
"...Okay. I trust you."
You couldn't see it but you could just tell that Aphmau was smiling.
She took one of your ears in her hand and stroked it until your breathing began to slow and you drifted off into unconsciousness.
.
.
.
It was dark when you opened your eyes.
Very clearly not a dream.
You went to grab onto whatever was on the other side, hoping Aphmaus warmth would be there.
But, nothing.
You grumbled in annoyance and sat up to fist your eyes.
You let out a yawn and smoothed your hair out grumbling at all the tanglea before a larger hand began to smooth it out for you, having much better luck then you did.
You jumped and scootched back before a fimilar scent got caught in your nose.
"Huh...?" "Is that better? I know it's hard to untangle everything sometimes." The deep voice gruffled.
You scrambled away to quickly flick on the lamp before turning to face him.
Aaron.
He held a guilty smile but his eyes were full of sincere happiness from seeing you again.
It wasn't really that long.
It's only been a few weeks since you last saw eachother face to face.
You teared up and sniffled before tossing yourself into Aarons arms with a wagging tail.
"Aaron!" "Whoa--!" Aphmau laughed from where she was in the doorway.
"I'm mad at you..." "Your mad?"
"Yeah. You left me and didn't even say goodbye. I-I had something super important to tell you too..."
"I'm sorry. I just needed a break. But everythings fine now." You nodded into his shoulder, your tears subsiting a little.
"M' missed you Dad..." You murmured.
Aarons hands began to shake at your words. You felt his breathing pick up from the slight shock of being called your Dad.
"Wh...What did you just call me?" You buried your head further and mumbled something making Aphmau smile at you both.
"I...Didn't hear you there--" "DAD! I said DAD! Don't make me say it again and further embarrass myself!" Your words made Aaron laugh as your face turned a very bright red.
"FORGET IT! YOUR NAMES AARON AGAIN!" "Nope! You called him Dad." Aphmau smirked.
"YOUR NOT APART OF THIS CONVERSATION!" "I am if I'm your Mom." "Cut it outtt! I hate it when you two gang up on me."
"Ahahaha...Ha...Ri-Right..Sorry Y/n. But, if it makes you feel any better, I thought of you as my daughter the moment you showed me your ears and tail."
"...R-Really?" "Mhm." You blushed again and cleared your throat with a nod.
"That makes sense...I guess...But since your my Dad now, you have to promise that you will never leave me again. I don't know if I'll be able to go through this again."
"Never?" "Never ever!"
"Okay, Okay. I didn't plan on it."
"Mkay...You also need to come to the Child Parent dance with me. But that's an offer, not a requirement."
"Are you asking me to come with you?"
"...YES OR NO AARON!"
"Ahaha! Yeah, Yeah I'll go." "Good...I love you." "I love you too..." Aphmau smiled and went to go join you both in bed, the three of you cuddling close together.
"This is the comfiest way I've slept in ages." "Really?" "Yeah..." "Me too...And jusy to make sure something like this doesn't happen again, I'd like to discuss custody rights between the two of you."
"...Wait what?" "Oh irene..."
