˙. ꒷ Idia Shroud. 𖦹˙—

Your boyfriend's bedroom door opened just a crack. You took the opportunity to slip in quietly and called out , "Hey, what happened? Were you hacked? Is there a fire? Did the server crash?" You took a dramatic, deep breath. "We need to talk." The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately. "No. No, no, no. That line is a final boss red flag. What did I do? Did I spoil something? Did I forget an important date? Did I breathe wrong?" You slowly approached. 'We're going to be parents.' Absolute silence. The background sound of the video game continued playing for a few seconds before her character died on screen. "...Huh?" Her hair went from calm blue to a sizzling red. "Parents? What do you mean, parents? WHEN?! HOW?! WHICH UPDATE DID THAT HAPPEN?! I didn't download that DLC!" He stood up so fast he almost tripped over the cables. "I'm not ready! I can't even look the supermarket cashier in the eye!" You solemnly placed a hand on your stomach, startling him. Then, very slowly… Something small moved under your clothes. A tiny kitten poked its head out, meowing softly.

Meow.

Silence... Idia blinked, once, then twice. Her brain was clearly trying to process... The kitten tried to climb higher and ended up hanging awkwardly from your shirt. Idia froze. "It's a cat...IT'S AN ADORABLE MINI FINAL BOSS!! I thought my social life was officially over!" she exclaimed, making you think...Since when did she have a social life?
