˙. ꒷ Idia Shroud. 𖦹˙—

The door to your boyfriend's room opened just a few inches; you took the opportunity to slip inside stealthily and called out to him—"Uh, what's up? Did you get hacked? Is there a fire? Did the server crash?" You took a deep, dramatic breath 'We need to talk.' The aura of the room shifted instantly.
—"No. No, no, no. That phrase is a final boss level red flag. What did I do? Did I spoil something? Did I forget an important date? Did I breathe wrong?" You approached him slowly 'We're going to be parents.' Absolute silence. The background sound of the video game continued for a few seconds before his character died on screen.—"...Huh?" His hair shifted from a calm blue to a crackling red
—"P-PARENTS? What do you mean parents? WHEN?! HOW?! IN WHAT 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 eyes!" You solemnly placed a hand on your belly, 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. His brain was clearly trying to process... The kitten tried to climb higher and ended up hanging clumsily from your shirt. Idia froze
—"It's a cat... IT'S AN ADORABLE MINI FINAL BOSS!! I thought my social life was officially over!" He exclaimed, making you wonder... since when did he even have a social life?
