Onityler Oneshot: Kid with the Mask

Characters: Onity/Unity, Seto, Tyler

Plot: This is an AU where Seto found Unity alone at the mansion and took him home to raise as his own. One day, Unity meets a boy at the local outdoor market. Years later, he meets the boy again. It's a day he'll never forget.

Seto walked down the street with his heavy detective-type coat on, holding the hand of 12 year old Unity, who walked with him in a coat that looked somewhat similar. Unity was quite small compared to Seto, and very very cute. His white hair moved as if he were under water, and people on the street whom were not local would coo at how adorable "the little boy and his dad" looked. Seto wasn't really his dad, but he pretty much was once you consider he found the boy going stir crazy in an abandoned mansion and decided to take him home and raise him as his own.

In a world full of humans and sorcerers and human like creatures and humanoids and whatever, Unity was not out of place, but he was of course the only one of his kind on the planet. That made raising him very difficult, because Seto had no previous knowledge of the species to help him. His species was a lot like the species called Endermen, but Unity was much more human and understood magic in a very different way.

Seto had to learn as he went, also taking note of whatever Unity could remember from his home world. This included things like how Unity is pretty much a carnivore, or at least needs more protein then humans, and how his body structure determined him male, though his actual sex could be left up to question. Unity says he's what is known as M T3. Seto doesn't know what that means. Unity explains the structure of gender works on his home world and how education worked at home and how last names worked at and Seto realizes that Earth is very very different in comparison.

Anyway

Back to walking down the street, the two were headed towards the local market. The sky was cloudy, meaning it was probably going to rain. Unity had whimpered about how water made him feel uncomfortable, but Seto reminded him that umbrellas existed and that they didn't plan to stay out long anyway. Seto just wanted to pick up some ingredients for dinner. He was going to actually cook, which was something he didn't normally do. Tonight was special though. Tonight the two were having a visitor.

They reached the market at the center of town fairly quickly, noticing it was pretty busy. It was the weekend and the afternoon, the most popular time for market shopping. Unity noticed that today there were more booths, some with cool looking masks and wooden carved toys and some clothe items. He followed Seto over to the fruit stand where Seto let go of his hand to look for the best looking apples.

"Seto?" Unity looked up at his dad.

"Yes, Unity?" Seto asked, looking down at the tiny oni.

"Can I go look at the masks?" Unity asked.

Seto thought for a second. He looked around the square, taking in that though it was crowded, he could easily see through the crowd, so it wasn't that bad. He also recognized most of the people walking around as locals that he and Unity have met before. Though he didn't want to let Unity out on his own for even a little bit, he trusted the people around him and he trusted Unity with his freedom. Unity was a powerful kid, and if anyone did mess with him, Seto was sure he'd be able to get his attention.

"Oh, alright. Go on then." Seto smiled.

"Thank you!" Unity grinned and hugged Seto before running off towards the booth with all the masks.

While Seto continued to look at the food, Unity found himself gazing up at the masks. There were all kinds of masks, and though they were all pretty much cheap china made masks, it didn't stop him from wishing he could buy one. He really liked the ones with all the feathers on them, and the purple day of the dead skull mask was cool too.
