Can you imagine the sort of child we would have?

No, don't answer that. Of course you could.

We're not nearly mature enough for one. And, by that, I mean Shigure isn't mature enough for one.

[Ah but they would be a handsome or pretty child, wouldn't they?]

[protectingfreedom]

Isn't it? Besides, I'm too busy to even think about becoming pregnant. [Not that she hasn't ever thought about it.] How are you, Yuki?

[notyunyun]

Doing well, all things considered. My mun decided to pull me out of her headspace because she and her friends are excited over the sequel manga. [of which he has mixed feelings. all this talk of children... honestly]

[protectingfreedom]

It seems the same is true for me. We would all be...much older...in the sequel. [If that helps at all.]

[notyunyun]

[chuckle] Yeah. Weird, huh? It's hard to imagine everyone older -- some more than others.

So... What do you think, Akito? Will any of your kids show up in the sequel manga?

[protectingfreedom]

Some won't be affected by age at all. [Like a certain ex-writer.] I...

[She is caught off-guard.]

You will know when you see them.

[notyunyun]

[he sympathizes, so much.]

Not interested in speculating about them? [just teasing, see the grin?]

[protectingfreedom]

[Yuki, you've gotten tough! She smiles at the prodding.]

They'll be too cunning for their own good. Probably avid readers.

[notyunyun]

[try "well-adjusted" lmao. they used to be old playmates after all so it's nice that they can talk like this.]

"Rebel" is the word my mun would use.

[protectingfreedom]

That is a good word. [She is surprisingly ordered, however, but she has to be when faced with Shigure's chaos.] Let's talk about your children, then.

[notyunyun]

...my children huh.

[the. heaviest. sigh.]

[protectingfreedom]

Do you think Machi is the mother? [Come on, now. Play along.]

[notyunyun]

[siiiiiiiiigh #2] I like to think that she is. Mun says the signs are all there, which is reassuring.

[he can't help but smile at the thought that they managed to last that long. looks like all his worries about doing the long-distance thing was for nothing.]

[protectingfreedom]

From what little I know about her, I agree. [For what it's worth.] It doesn't matter if the mother is someone else.

[As long as Yuki is happy. She hopes she doesn't have to say that.]

[notyunyun]

It matters to me. [firmly -- perhaps a little too firmly.

this is quickly followed by a cough as he catches himself.] --sorry, I understood what you meant. It's just, um... [he fumbles for the right words] Machi is an important person to me.

[protectingfreedom]

[There is something affection and proud in her smile.]

Well then, in that case, I hope it's her. [It's not like she could imagine being with anyone but Shigure.] I don't mind babysitting from time to time.

[JUST SO YOU KNOW. A Yuki baby has to be cute.]

[notyunyun]

[that catches him off guard -- although it does makes sense in the context of what started this conversation in the first place.]

Oh. Um, sure? I have a feeling you might want to rethink that offer, though. [the most pained smile...] Based on what's been revealed to us so far, it seems like my future son is going to be a handful.

[cute face maybe. but personality-wise............]
