“Nine months,” Caleb murmured, staring at the tiny baby in his arms. His baby. Their baby. His eyes were shining with awe—but his voice carried a hint of betrayal. “Nine months inside your mom’s womb… only to come out looking exactly like me.”
You rolled your eyes, the corner of your lips curling up into a soft smile. Your attention remained fixed on the minimally interesting documentary playing on the TV. “Good job, baby.”
“Good job?” He continued to pace in circles while cradling the baby. Caleb ran a finger along his son’s cheek, gently poking it, amazed by how soft and chubby it was. “It’s not that I don’t like him—he’s cute, and I love him. But I wanted a mini-you running around the house, giving me headaches. Instead, I replicated myself.”
“Yeah, sometimes genetics do that.” You replied, starting to feel a little sorry for your husband. “Besides, he hasn’t even turned one month old yet, maybe he’ll pick up my personality or some other trait of mine?”
Caleb sat down next to you, careful not to disturb the pillows surrounding you. “You think?” He spoke a little too loudly, then flinched as he felt the baby stir, waking up. Slowly, his tiny eyelids fluttered open, granting his dad a glimpse of his purple irises.
There was a long silence between you, the only sound being the narrator’s voice echoing through the room.
You took a deep breath, trying to suppress a laugh. Caleb held one of the baby’s tiny hands, attempting to entertain him. “Your genes didn’t even try…”
*in a soft, broken whisper* but why not me?? why not me?? why couldnt it have been me instead? am i lacking something? was i not enough for you??? what did i do wrong?

also realized in the last panel, yuzuha is being treated like the younger sibling for once. mitsuya, again, knows how much burden yuzuha shouldered and is giving her the rest she deserves by being the older brother here. the older brother she never got. the older brother she shouldve gotten. the older brother she deserves.
the head pat signifies that.
ahhh my heart-
romantic or not, i really like the bond mitsuya and yuzuha have. something that really struck this thought was mitsuya saying how much he respects yuzuha for what she has done for hakkai. they are both the older siblings to their youngers ones, are protective and caring and loving, have to bear the responsibility of being a parent at a young age. they both know what it takes to be the shield for thier younger siblings. they both know how tiring it is, how much it hurts, how much one requires energy and the patience, how much they have to sacrifice themselves for the safety and happiness of their loved ones.
i really love that mitsuya recognizes the situation yuzuha is in because he himself has been in that same situation. its saying 'i know what youve been through, ive been there before, and youre so brave for being so strong. rest now, ill take care of things from here.' and yuzuha is so happy, so relieved, for being so appreciated because for so long it was kept a secret that she was the one taking taijus punches for hakkai. now theres someone who knows how exactly it feels like.
they both love their siblings and would do it all over again if it is to ensure their happiness and safety. but in the process theyre both starving themselves of their own happiness.
i relate to them so much it hurts.
rip to the song that played in uniqlo. i wasnt able to listen to the lyrics clearly before it finished. may you and i be reunited in another world and be completed harmoniously
why is lance's only trait being allura's boyfriend??? everyone, even allura's own dad, thanked lance for choosing her and loving her but like what about lance???
what about the things he had to sacrifice becauee he accidentally became a paladin??? he had to leave his family behind and i bet every single day he misses them, his mom, dad, sister, niece and nephews but he hides it behind a smile because what else can he do??? hes in the middle of nowhere in space and hes got responsibilities on his shoulders because hes a paladin, what about when those responsibilities become too much for him??? hes still a young boy, about 16 or 17 im gonna guess. what about the numerous amount of times he felt insecure and unworthy and unloved and undeserving??? how come no one told him that they are proud of him for the things that he did and how deserving he is of the love and care from others???
do they all see him as the boy who fell in love with allura at first glance who then accomplished his dream of being her boyfriend???
like im sorry but this is a hate crime
first of all the relationship was one-sided from the beginning. allura never saw lance as a potential partner material. the only thing that happened between them was lance's huge crush on her. allura never noticed it nor did she care to. thats it.
you cant just tell me she went and fell in love with lotor and then found lance when she was looking for a replacement. if that did happen, thats pretty disrespectful to lance but also allura would never do something like that.
i was actually quite shocked that the writers made them a couple. they literally have no chemistry together whatsoever. even allura didnt deserve this. i mean, lance is a great guy and is a great partner but allura had so much more development to do i just -
ahhhh!!!
all i want is for ranpo to pet my head is that too much to ask???
I LOVEEEE THEM SOOO MUCHHHH
also i have a feeling hes gonna name his kids after mikey
somehow
idk how
mikey 2.0???
mikey but spelled differently like the name mikey gives him???
pls he's such a softie. this just speaks to how sweet he rlly is, he couldve easily ignored the kids but he didnt. he tried to help them calm down and stop crying. he views himself as useless even though the steps he took would say otherwise. sure he might not have been successful in trying to get the kids to stop crying but the thing that matters is he tried to make the situation better.
thats better than just standing around and witnessing a kid getting lost from their parents.
he's naturally this kind and caring.
(he'd make a good father too. hina rlly did bag the most kind-hearted man.)
idk what this acc is for anymore. student/part-time ponderer/part-time singer. 19.
