[ he straight up needs to go to divorce court, move to colorado, maybe go through a phase, visit the other toy island where the boys are over 18, figure that out, and then, I don't know. consider fatherhood.
anyway he's sort of already just adopted all these kids and has to figure out how to handle that. the thing is that they do, actually, very much need these swim teens. ]
I really-- I want that for you. To go to Nationals, and argue with Rin about college, and do anything you want to do, without having to worry about big things like how many people you have to murder for life points.
I'd like to see you too. I really-- [ sorry he is the worst because he is getting a little choked up and pretending not to. ] I haven't had many friends before. And you're very important to me.
[ he can get really into craft beers for a while or something.
he's really very moved at this display of emotion, even if it's sort of crackly and requires all his focus to see. ]
...Yeah. We're friends. I love you too.
[ weirdly, it's not that hard to admit right now, even for a recalcitrant teen. maybe because of the distance of death; he doesn't want to lose the opportunity to say things. ]
I know you and Ylfa have a lot to do. Worlds to save. But I hope you can visit us, too. [ ... ] I live in a quiet town. We can go fishing. There's a squid festival every year.
[ it's a gentle life that would be nice to share. he doesn't know that it's possible—the reaper's game doesn't seem to give many options—but he likes to think that maybe, for all its abnormalities, they can wish for a little extra this time. ]
[ this is really fucking him up for a lot of different reasons, from the kind of actually easy way he says I love you as if that isn't the most meaningful thing in the world, to how much he would really, really like to go to a small town and go fishing. ]
I don't know how much I can that's safe, or-- won't get you into trouble, but, I'd very much like that. You'd have to teach me how, though, because that is not a hobby I picked up.
[ haru has had his moments of sincerity in the past, but he's only recently realized how much other people can need them. maybe telling people how much you love them is good, actually. softly, ]
You lived in a pond for that long and didn't learn how to fish?
[ jokes ]
...It's not hard. I can show you when you get back. [ because he and ylfa aren't sure about Everyone, but there's no way they won't at least get gerard and rin back. even if it's a selfish priority. ]
