Kirby caught Kharon after one of his reluctant trade-offs, handing Kali over to their momma even though he wanted to stay right by her side. Good kid, letting Mom get a turn. And they had been taking turns, somebody staying with her and cuddling her at all times. Gods knew she’d needed it. Poor baby still hadn’t spoken a word, still clung tight to whoever was watching over her, still got especially distressed if any of them were gone for too long.
Broke his fuckin’ heart. All he wanted to do was make it better for his baby, for all his babies, but there was only so much one man could do against the whole fuckin’ world, and if he left to try and help make the world safe again, it’d only scare the everliving fuck out of her the whole time. So he took his turns holding her and fussing over her, tucking her up against him and snuggling her the way they both needed.
But it was Lacey’s turn now, and Kirby wanted some time with his boy. So he caught Kharon’s eye and nodded him over, started walking deeper into the island. Might as well get to know the place while they were here.
As they walked, he gently bumped his shoulder against Kharon’s. Did I mention yet how fucking proud I am of you? he asked with a sneaky grin Kharon’s way. You kicked ass in a crisis, coordinated that move brilliantly, and way the fuck faster than I could’ve, and helped keep everyone we love safe. There’s nobody I’d rather have with me when shit hits the fan. You’re pretty fuckin’ phenomenal, you know that?
Of course, that wasn’t all. He was damn proud of Kharon, for sure, but there was more to talk about. So much had changed while they’d been gone, and if it’d left Kirby reeling, he could only imagine how hard it must be for Kharon, who had always been so close to his twin. How are you doing, son?Bite my shiny metal ass.
