JaDine Oneshot & Drabbles Collection 2

Night Out (TIMY AU)

just a short drabble
timeline: years after the last episode 😊 /i just miss them 😭

---

Basti couldn't really say no when Ali, Stephen and Otap invited him to drink.

They had met by accident, and they decided to go eat out to catch up with each other.

He had agreed at once, since it was a very very rare chance to hang out like that nowadays. It's been years, in fact. They were all in different fields now. And even though Basti sees Ali frequently, it was still different from having a boy's night out with all of them there.

It was an unplanned reunion and Basti couldn't resist but to indulge himself. He had thought he earned the break, even though deep in his mind he knew he'd pay the consequences when he got back home. His wife can be scary when she wants to be.

The night was a blur to Basti. He only knew he had a lot of fun. He didn't even know how he had gotten back home. Did Ali and Stephen drive him? Or maybe they called his son, Apollo, to fetch him?

He had remembered entering their house and going to the kitchen. There were people in his hazy line of vision, but he couldn't really recognize them. And that was all he could recall before everything went black.

Basti woke up with a start. He felt very lousy. His head was aching so bad it felt like it was being squeezed.

With a jolt, he remembered what happened last night. He groaned, already dreading Iris's wrath.

"Oh, gising ka na pala." A voice said.

Basti, surprised, sat up and said. "I'm so sorry!!"

The voice laughed and Basti looked up. He sighed in relief but groaned as his head twitch.

"Hera, you're really starting to sound like your mom." Basti muttered.

Hera just laughed more.

A small smile crept on Basti's face as he gently leaned back once more.

"I bet you're very relieved I wasn't mom." Hera teased.

"Very." Basti said, laughing despite himself.

"Nasan pala ang mama mo? Mga kapatid mo?" He asked now. As he looked around, he was surprised to find everything in order.

"Apollo went with her to the groceries. Sinama na rin nila si Hades. Mama asked me to take care of you." Hera  said, smiling at her father.

"Huh??" Basti exclaimed, more bewildered than ever. "Pero di ba siya galit? S-should I prepare myself?" He said with dread.

Hera laughed once more. "Di siya galit."

"What do you mean?" Basti asked, feeling a bit nervous.

Hera grinned, teasingly. "Well, she was very angry last night. I mean you don't even recognize any of us. Tapos kinailangan ka pa pagtulungan buhatin ni Kuya Apollo and Tito Jomar. Mama was furious. She was shouting herself hoarse at both Tito Ali and Tito Stephen. And you even... well, sumuka ka sa newly made bed niyo."

Basti groaned, feeling his head pulse. He knew he was dead.

Hera laughed yet again at the expense of her dad. "Don't worry, I told you she's not mad. On the contrary, she's very happy right now. Thanks to you."

"Huhhh?"

Hera smiled at her dad tenderly. "Mama was trying to undress you, so you could change to more comfortable clothes na walang suka. But you stopped her and said, 'Stop. I'm married.'" She said with a laugh.

"Oh..." Basti said, not really knowing what to say. He did felt a bit shy that his daughter saw him like that.

"You're a dork most of the times, dad. But yesterday you were really cool." She continued to say.

Basti only nodded.

"You're so cool and adorable~"

Basti nodded.

"Cooooool and adorableeee~"

"Stop it." Basti finally said, blushing.

Hera laughed harder. She loves teasing her dad.

"You're really lucky," She said. "From what I heard, grabe nangyari kay Tito Otap dahil kay Tita Kelly."
