Two powerful beings (idiots) squabble, Palette nearly has a SOUL attack, while Sun gets the calmest time of all.

"He's going to kill you and i will laugh the entire time. I'm almost tempted to try killing you myself, if only you weren't now carrying precious cargo...Sun truly gives me experiences in ways I've never dealt with or even imagined before and i'm unsure if thats a good thing or not...i still really want to punch you in the face though"
404's voice was eerily calm, not a hint of negative emotion coming from his voice or tone and yet his magic spoke a far different story.
Palette cringed away from one of the scariest monsters he had ever met. Well, as best as he could with one of 404's hand still bunched up in his scarf and slowly getting tighter the more time passed. He let out a squeak of alarm when it got too tight, gratefully taking a gasping breath when the odd Cross threw a small Gaster Blaster who does that?! at 404's face to get them to stop.
"Don't remind me. And its not like i did this on purpose. I was trying to help! And its not like I saw you offering any useful suggestions!"
"I'm not some big shot Deity that has access to more information then i could dream of! Excuse me for not knowing about esoteric Runic symbols or rituals that are likely long lost to time! How was I supposed to know you were as good at using Rituals as you were at finding a small child, you old fart?!"
"Thats a low blow! It's not like you have a great track record trying to keep Sun in sight! And who are you calling old?! I'm at the peak of my youth!"
Palette's head snapped from one person to another like he was watching a tennis match being played with a live grande and he was in the direct crossfire. Still wide eyed as he stared at the spot where Sun was a second ago, before they vanished into a bright light. He didn't even notice the kittens on his lap trying to comfort him, his SOUL racing as he tried to figure out what was going on and if he just saw someone die.
He barely comprehended that he could think about the babybones and actually use their name, trying to bite back hysterical laughter and tears that he could feel starting to build up.
"...perhaps we need to deal with the other little one first before we confuse arguing"
CHAOS eyes drew to the Palette who was shaking in a concerning manner with two tiny kitties puffed up and hissing at him and 404. He waved his hand to remove the charcoal runes on the ground, no need to have someone stumble upon that and learn things that would likely melt a mortal mind. Although the chaotic potential was very tempting.
That would be messy and didn't want to deal with his twins disappointment on top of that, doing his best to be good and not cause more of a mess his twin might have to sort.....he also had to go find his familiar who had snuck off in the last AU and likely looted the local brewery. A chaos rabbit truly adorable but this one was truly unique and rather spirited.
It was a good thing they were linked to him otherwise they might have died from alcohol poisoning long ago.
"Come here...sad child. Let's get your breathing under control so you don't pass out or have a SOUL attack. I've heard those are bad"
"And you judge me for how i deal with Sun?!"
404 scoffed, stepping back and letting CHAOS comfort the blubbering monster. Squinting his eyes when he processed CHAOS words and realised that the monster was indeed a child at their base Code. Huh, how had he missed that?
It was almost strange to be around normal children, having expected bites and magic blasted to the face. Not for Palette getting overwhelmed when he used his magic and starting to cry when he demanded they answer questions.
"Now now. There is no need to be scared. We aren't going to hurt you. Oh poor dear. Your Code must feel so unpleasant. Would you like me to help?...hmm? Oh no, I didn't hurt Sun. Can you sense their familiar magic? Thats okay, i can help you. I'll show you that Sun is just fine and then we can solve that little issue for you. Sun must really like you to stay around you for so long"
...Huh, maybe he wasnt as good with children as he assumed. He was sure this book he had been reading had been helping but watching CHAOS successfully calm Palette and even get them to sleep, made him realise he wasn't as effective as he believed.
"...so what are you going to do now?"
He casually asked when Palette finally fell asleep, eyeing the now smaller form Palette who was now babybones size, with the kittens that popped out of seemingly nowhere still giving death glares greatly reminiscent of Sun.
"...I'm going to need to meet up with my twin. I've never been pregnant before...i can't believe those words even came out of my mouth."
CHAOS sounded pained, this not the way he wanted to introduce little chaos to his adorable nephew...
Wait, is this why LUCK gave him a bunch of maternity wear?!
He knew he had jinxed himself, betting the other Deities were taking those stupid bets again and inadvertently cursed him. Truly that had to be the reason the runic circle he'd used to settled Sun's Code by donating his magic had turned into this. A part of him was beaming at now carrying a small life he had been enamoured with for years, truly being part of his family now like they always should have.
"You want to be Sun's godparent?"
The words came out of his mouth without thought, so many thoughts going in his mind now that he was hit with the fact he was actually pregnant and he'd be doing some actual parenting in the future.
....to a child who regularly tried to gnaw his arm and ditch him at random.
Maybe he should read more cat books instead, the only thing helping so far to get along with Sun when he had been with them. He shivered at the tiny SOUL inside him latched onto his magic to feed, a strange and unsettling and yet oddly fulfilling in a way he didn't understand.
...right, he needed ORDER to help him with this mess...and he would bring 404 who he had impulsively brought into the family and the now small child in his arms.
....what a mess he found himself in.
