Tristian is laying on a bed in a cottage Meliodas and Angel had built for him while he was dead. It was nice, not totally his taste, but still nice. He looks down at his son, who is sleeping soundly on his chest. He may have missed a few years of his life, but that stops here. From now on, he will be there for his baby every step of the way. He just wished that Cyrus was here with him, he would be such a great parent to Kai.

His golden eyes looked out the window at children laughing and playing with other. Then to the left at a couple cuddling under a pink leaf tree. Kai is such a good cuddle buddy but it would be nice to be held once in a while. Especially like that couple. Eh, why is he thinking about dating and all of that anyways? It's not like he treated Cyrus well and them becoming an official couple.

Any who, Tristian felt his son squirming a bit in his old before letting out a long, soft yawn. His cute green eyes soon fluttered open to look at him groggily. Tristian smiled and raised a hand to cup his child's cheek, "Hey baby. Welcome back. You hungry?" The younger boy shook his head as he rubs his eyes awake. Tristian shrugged and lifted Kai up a little, kissing both cheeks that made Kai squeal and giggle in delight.

Tristian smiled and peppered kisses all over Kai's face. "Noooooo, ticklishh daddy!" Kai screeched out, giggling as he curls himself into a ball. He messed around with his child a while longer before eventually putting him down to run off and play on his own. His eyes returned to the window, observing life. It has been a whole month since Cyrus's passing and there's has not been a day where that face didn't appear in Tristian's mind.

He felt a little empty, like his other half is missing. Cyrus is that other half of him now. It used to be Florist, but she is resting and enjoying her new life in Purgatory. Probably rooting him on with his relationship with Cyrus. But never again will he share any other bodily fluid with anyone except for his lips when it comes to his new love of his life. Oh yeah, Tristian made a new discovery about himself. Okay, basically, he is straight. To an extent. But he only potentially falls in love with someone he has a close connection with(modern day demisexuality). The only person he will be gay for is that lovable idiot.

Soon, Tristian looked down at his hand. A ring will look good there, especially a silver one with a simple small diamond. It's so funny how even more hopelessly in love with Cyrus that he is becoming. So it is true that some people only realize what they have after it's already gone. Well, it was nice that he got to confess. Before Cyrus took his last breath in his arms.

Tristian suddenly felt like crying once more, but he refused to. He doesn't want to worry his son again, especially remembering the last time he cried himself to sleep. The poor baby managed to get out of his bed and scrambled towards his room, yelling out 'daddy!' multiple times. Climbing on the bed and slapping the top of Tristian's head worriedly. It took a while for the the man to calm his child down.

He closed his eyes and sighed, "We will meet again someday. And then, we can be together...or I will just tell you how much I love you again." Soon, he became weary again and decided to sleep just as Kai ran back inside the room. The boy soon stopped as he saw his dad. Kai shrugged his shoulders and turned around to walk out. But before he completely left, he looked up at the ceiling.

"Come back mistah Ci-ras, dada miss you."
