꧁༺ƈɦǟքȶɛʀ 24༻꧂

꧁༺ʍօռɨ'ֆ քօʋ༻꧂

After the call, I walk down to the living room to be met with aunt Cara.

"Aunt Cara..."

"Mm?" She asks, turning towards me.

For someone who has been living on the couch for a week, she's looking okay.

"I know it's been a week, but you need to get out, it's not going to bring your sister and my mom back.

We have other things to worry about..." I tell her.

"Like what?" Puffy finds an excuse to stay on the couch, mourning in her own ways.

"Like...

How I'm technically an orphan now since mom is dead and dad could be already in the same fate."

Puffy immediately jolted up, now sitting on the couch.

"HOLY SHIT I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT! OH HARMONIA YOU'RE AN ORPHAN NOW!" She says, hugging me. "WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? WHERE CAN YOU STAY NOW?" She starts panicking.

I rub her back.

"Well, I mean, I'm already here, if you don't mind I can live here with you. If that demands too much then it's okay, we can find another place for me to stay. Maybe with Hebe, or with Jasmine, if their parents don't mind as well-"

Puffy's hug just got tighter.

"I'm fine with you staying here Harmonia, I love your presence here, it truly feels like you're my own kid." My aunt replies, smiling softly. I smile back.

"Like a daughter..." She muttered to herself.

"Harmonia...

What would you say or think about me adopting you?"

Clay's cola can dropped on the floor as he overhead us, his mouth agape.

"Wait, WHAT?!" I exclaim.

"If you don't mind, I always kind of saw you as my daughter, and if you feel uncomfortable with being an orphan, maybe we can work something out so I can adopt you. If you don't want that, that's okay."

I stared at my aunt.

I thought about it for a bit.

I love Puffy, I love being under her care, she gave me so much, if I weren't here, I wouldn't have met Jasmine, I wouldn't get to see |Hebe again, I wouldn't meet the Dream team, I wouldn't meet Tubbo and Tommy, I wouldn't meet Dream.

This entire stay, I felt better than in my previous poor life.

"Yes, I'd love to be your 'daughter'."

Then, my aunt stood up, clapping her hands to grab all of our attention.

"It's settled then, but this will demand lots of work, so don't be thinking it will happen quickly. Either way, whether you're adopted or not, you're staying here. I'll go see how I can adopt you, meanwhile, you and Dream will go shopping and decorate the guest room. Dream I know you're using it but when you leave it will belong to Moni, so you two, go out and do some shopping, maybe invite Jasmine, I think she'll like that, maybe offer some help." Puffy says, her energy regaining, her personality's coming back, and it makes me happy to see her again like this.

"Yes ma'am!" Dream and I exclaim in unison, saluting.

(dw, I did some research but I'm not writing chapters in the process, only the trial and when Harmonia is finally adopted. No one here, I assume, wants to hear complicated adult work. They want PlOt)
