Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

[Well, okay. He reaches under her bed and pulls out one of the...

...That's a lot of toys.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[It's a consequence of a normal childhood! Okay this box doesn't have it, so the next box must, right? But she's juuuust too short to pull it down.]

I'm gonna grab the foot stool, be right back.

[tsuntrader]

[...?] I can grab it. [Might as well put his height to good use, it's not good for much else (other than not looking really short next to Elesa and his dads-]]

[50shadesofprotag]

Mkay. But just this time!

[HUFF HUFF she knows it won't just be this time, after hearing a lot of her mom's advice. No reaching too high up, no heavy lifting, no fun ever forever UGH]

[tsuntrader]

[Wow Hilda you're missing out on so much I mean picking up a box and bringing it down so the contents can be seen is the most fun ever.]

Are you okay?

[50shadesofprotag]

[It's going to suck when she's home alone and needs something, okay?]

I'm fine, just remembering a lot of the things mom said I shouldn't do once I start getting heavy.

[tsuntrader]

[Because your Pokémon wouldn't help you out right]

...That's rough, buddy. [For all the fears and doubts he's had to wrestle away, he can't imagine how much worse it would be for Hilda.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Some of them! But she was going to pass them off to other people to keep them in shape - it's not fair for them to sit and be bored just because Hilda is.]

Yeah I know. Sorry. I'm trying not to whine about it.

[tsuntrader]

It's not whining. Even if it was, you've got every right to whine in the world.

[...] You can still go for walks though, so maybe we should get some fresh air once you find that Minccino. [Being inside with things that she won't be able to reach can't be making this any better.]

[50shadesofprotag]

I'm pretty sure it's in this box anyway.

[Here, she'll take it and set it on her bed, flip it open, dig around through the stuffed animals... ah hah! She pulls out the little toy.]

Oh, shoot, I forgot that I tore his tail off from rubbing it too much. I guess I can figure out how to replace it...

[tsuntrader]

[...] It shouldn't be too hard to fix. [They can find a tutorial online or something, can't they?]

[50shadesofprotag]

Probably not. Hah, look how worn out he is...

[It's faded, a little shaggy looking, got a few stains, and the ear looks like it was chewed on... but Hilda seems pretty fond of it!]

I wonder if we should get the baby something cleaner, and let them ruin it themselves.

[Hilda's being so quietly sentimental, it's so weird.]

[tsuntrader]

...Did you try to chew off its ear? [WE INTERRUPT THIS SERIOUS MOMENT TO BRING YOU-]

[50shadesofprotag]

I was a baby! And I was teething.

[tsuntrader]

...There's no way that tasted good.

[50shadesofprotag]

You know what teething is, right? It's when you start growing your first teeth. Have you grown in your wisdom teeth yet?

[tsuntrader]

...My what? [Wisdom teeth? Are they some special wise teeth he didn't know about?]

[50shadesofprotag]

[She points to where wisdom teeth erupt!]

The teeth back here! Remember that one week where I couldn't come out and battle you? That was after I had mine taken out.

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh. Those.

They have a name?]

They grew in a while ago. [Silver you piece of shit motherfucker that had no problem with his wisdom teeth-] Why'd you get them taken out?

[50shadesofprotag]

No room in my mouth, like almost everyone in the world.

[tsuntrader]

[...Yeah, he's just going to awkwardly put a hand on the back of his neck. That would explain it.]

I've lost some teeth on drafts before. [...Did he... ever explain Luceti to Hilda...?]

[50shadesofprotag]

Drafts? What do you mean?

1/2

[tsuntrader]

...You know I met my dads on some other world, right?

All kinds of crazy things happened there. Being drafted for war was one of them.

[He shrugs. It's like talking about the weather to him.] That's in the past now. It was a bad place, but I still learned a lot and even got a family out of it.

[tsuntrader]

I wouldn't be here without it, either. I wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet some crazy totally metal girl I fell in love with.

[50shadesofprotag]

[A...aww. That's sweet! Hilda's worried about the war thing but you know whaaaat, she'll let it go.]

I'm glad you're here. You're my soul mate. I knew it the first day I saw you, you were gonna play a big role in my life.

[She can dish out some sappiness, too!]

This wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I like it. It's gonna be tough, but it's only proof that we're the best and we can handle anything.
