Constellations' Musing [TCF fanfiction]

Level 1: Bed Time Story (pt. 2)

"Are you done?" 

Cale asked once they seemed to finish their breads.

"Yes"

"Thank you noona!"

"Thank you so much, unnie!"

The children hugged her with gratitude to which she nonchalantly returned the gesture before turning to Tasha who has blank stares on her face.

"What? You want hugs too?"

+

'I really wouldn't mind one' Tasha of Cale’s world thought to herself.

Even though she is technically older than him, this scene made her feel like he'd be a great older brother. And that she'd feel safe being hugged by the other.

+

The latter blushed as she was about to say 'no' when the shorter female went closer and hugged her indiscriminately.

+

"Aww... I want hugs too"

Fredo felt betrayed as 'Naru' always flails when he tried to hugs him.

Suddenly, the whole continents is in the mood to hugs each other.

+

"Kyla... unnie, where did you get these bread from? Where did you get the money to buy them?" Tasha asked quietly after getting over her shock.

"Don't worry, It's not stealing if the money was in fact ours from the beginning right?"

"What?"

Cale did not explain further and just broke the hug before then turning to the children, "Now now, since you guys are full, brush your teeth and get to bed with Tasha, okay? Tonight, I'll read you a bed time story"

The kids eyes sparkles at her claim.

+

The younger part of the society reacted exactly the same.

+

"Bed time story, unnie?"

"Yes! Noona is going to read us bed time story!"

"What's this? You guys are never this excited when I read you guys bed time stories" Tasha playfully frowned at them.

"Tasha-noona. You can't read" Shawn deadpans.

"And your stories just... didn't make sense. Sorry, unnie..." Even Kora says so.

The second oldest in the group were flustered by their blunt words before then starting to chase after them to the bathroom, leaving Cale who unknowingly smiling at the sight.

'That's right. This is how children should act'

+

While Tasha's friends were laughing at this version of her, the rest of the world couldn't help but getting fond for the hero who's thinking like this.

+

She did not complain in the slightest as she picked up the trashes left behind and sweep the bread crumbs peacefully.

—Or well, until that peace is broken by back door that's slammed open.

"You"

a gruff voice was heard as bloodshot eyes are glaring at Cale who's just as calm as ever.
