Road To Us || Porco Galliard

⤜Chapter Thirty-Nine⤛

"You guys were gone for a while, what'd you get up to?" Marcel asked as you walked through the door. Him and Reiner were attempting to make dinner as it was already dark when you got back.

"There was a Market on at the beach. It was pretty awesome."

"Ooh. Man I wish I could've gone. They could've had those cute custom collars." Colt said, holding Kurama as he walked downstairs, sitting at the kitchen island.

"No foxes on the counter." Marcel slapped Colt's hand with a wooden spoon. With a groan of annoyance Colt moved him and Kurama to the couch.

"What are you guys making?" You asked leaning over Reiner's shoulder.

"Spaghetti?" He replied uncertainly.

"Dear God." Porco muttered as he walked away. "I'm having a shower." He walked to you and reached into the paper bag you were holding to retrieve his bar of soap. You smiled at him and he grumbled before walking upstairs.

"So? What happened?" Colt asked the minute Porco was out of sight. "Did the two of you confess? Are you dating now?"

"Why is this moving so freaking fast." Reiner muttered, hands clasped together and face tilted to the ceiling as if he was praying.

"N-no! Nothing like that." You shook your hands as you exclaimed. The boys kept pushing, wanting to know more so eventually you gave in and told them to basic outline of what had taken place that afternoon.

"Please just get married." Reiner apparently had a change of heart.

"Who's getting married?" Porco asked, appearing seemingly out of nowhere, tousling his hair with a towel.

"Characters from a fan fiction we're reading." Colt replied immediately. You mentally facepalm but instead nodding along.

"They keep dancing around their feelings and we're getting frustrated with it now." Marcel added to the credibility. Porco narrowed his eyes.

"Right." He drew the word out and looked at the four of them skeptically. As he took a step forwards there was a slight jingling noise. You smiled slightly, knowing that he had the compass in his pocket.

"Okay well I'm gonna go have my shower while you boys finish up whatever it is you're concocting here." You waved a hand at the stove and picked up your bag.

You headed up to your room, closing the door and taking out your little compass to admire it. You smiled, placing it aside and went to have a shower.

Using your new soap, you took your time, relishing in the hot water lightly burning your skin. Until your serenity was destroyed by muffled raised voices downstairs. You gritted your teeth, inhaled and exhaled through her nose before finishing your shower.

You dried off quickly, muttering to yourself as you slipped into some comfy lounge clothes and stomped downstairs.

"What are you children bickering about now?" You said, standing in the kitchen and looking at them in front of you.

"That's an intense mood swing." Reiner muttered under his breath.

"Women, am I right?" Colt nudged him back and earned himself a glare from you.

"Are you guys finished concocting whatever?" You asked, choosing to ignore them and point to the pot that was bubbling away.

"Oh son of a biscuit eater." Marcel scrambled to turn it off and you facepalmed.

"I'm gonna just make myself some toast then." You sighed, pushing your way into the kitchen.  You got the bread out and just as you were about to put it into the toaster, you noticed something rather disturbing.

"Six? Six?! Who the hell-?! What the hell are you cremating in my toaster?!"  You turned around, a 'what in the actual frick frack patty wack is going on here' face.

Colt turned to you, a disgusted look on his face. "What else are you supposed to use the toaster on? Three? To like heat up your bread?!"

"What in the actual hell. Colt what colour is your toast when you take it out?" Porco looked at him with concern.

"All that matters is that it's cooked, tasty and crunchy." Colt replied, narrowing his eyes. "Let me enjoy my toast how I like it. I didn't make it like that for you guys the other day so I dunno what you're complaining about."

"Yeah! I like my toast on one!" Reiner said proudly.

"Dude. That's like to slightly warm up your bread. Are you okay? Your butter won't even melt onto it." Marcel wrinkled his nose.

"I don't use butter." Reiner said with confusion.

"This is why I cook." You sighed. You made your toast, topping it off with your favourite things and sat on the couch. Besides you sat Marcel who looked at his phone, gasped then frowned.

"You should be getting your period like tomorrow." He pulled up his period tracker app. He had installed it a couple of years ago so he knew when to bring you pads and chocolates.

You groan and shake your head. "And this was such a nice trip."

"Your period mood swings are crazy." Colt chuckled, feeding Kurama ham from his untoasted sandwich.

"Is no one gonna talk about the fact that Marcel tracks her period?" Porco asked with a slightly disturbed look.

"We're not going to talk about that." Reiner patted him on the back and slumped onto the couch, picking up a controller and started up Wii Sports. You groaned, leaning your head back into the couch cushions as the theme song blared from the speakers with Colt singing along.

About thirty minutes later, Marcel and Reiner were facing off, shirtless with intense expressions.

"Come one boys. Give us a good and fair fight." Colt said seriously, pounding on the two's chests firmly. They nodded, Marcel sniffled as Reiner wiped his sweat of his jaw.

In the background, the Wii boxing ring could be seen on the Tv. You were sitting on the couch, phone propped up to record as you were immersed in watching a show on Porco's phone.

"Fight!"

Marcel and Reiner began their Wii boxing match, telling and carrying on as they enacted the fight in real life as well with Colt acting as referee and commentator.

"Wanna like, take a walk?" Porco whispered into your ear. You looked at the three in front of you with a slightly disappointed expression before nodding. Porco gestured for the two of you to get up before leading you out of the glass back doors, off of the patio and around the pool. It was a full moon, so everything was illuminated enough to be seen.

The two of you walked along, hands brushing each other.

"Thank you."

The two of you looked at each other before laughing.

"What for?" You asked, eyes twinkling beneath the moonlight. Porco shrugged, looking away.

"For everything I guess. Especially this afternoon." He looked up at the stars. You followed his eyes and sighed happily. Without the pollution of the city, the stars could be seen swimming in the river of the Milky Way.

"Thank you for coming along on this trip. It's a shame it'll come to an end." The two of you sat in the grass as you looked up at the stars.

"Yeah. Think we'll be friends after this?" It was rare for Porco to ask something so intimate like that.

"I hope so. I really like you, Pock." You turn to look at him, seeing the stars reflecting in his eyes.

"And I really like you too." He whispered your name in a way that made your heart flutter and mind stop working.

And the stars and moon sitting in the galaxy smiled down on the two, as if the universe itself was blessing them.
