Old Feelings and Unmatched Emotions

Ch.38 - Old Feelings and Unmatched Emotions

He paced back and forth out in the waiting room. The call he had gotten from his old roommate had sounded panicked, but given the circumstance, anything other then panic would not have been proper.

Dolion breathed out softly, trying to calm himself. Today wasn't the day to get jealous, or upset. Today was the day to celebrate the accomplishment the two had made. He'd smile, laugh, and talk praise. He had to.

Years of doing this had taught him how to look and act happy and supportive. Every laugh covering the fact that his own life was nothing but a mess because of the other man in question. Every piece of work, every letter of love... taken and assumed to be someone else's.

It was enough to drive a man mad-

"Dolion." His old roommate called out, stalking through the hallways with a gleeful smile on his face. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Come!"

Dolion followed, not saying a word. His friend looked happy, he looked ecstatic. As he should. Dolion making notes on how to smile, how to laugh, and how to speak. He would base his own reactions on those of others. Learn what they were looking for and then give them what they were looking for.

Language was a tricky thing, but when one knew how to speak it with a silver tongue... you can make anyone believe anything.

"Oh, Dolion." Her voice was strained. "Welcome... thanks for coming."

Dolion paused a moment, looking at the women before him. Resting in a bed, looking exhausted and holding a small bundle of pink. The sounds of cooing heard. Dolion paced closer, looking at the small being who had come into this world not too long ago.

"What's her name?" He asked, looking towards the new parents.

The pair looked at each other, laughing slightly. "We're... still, workshopping that."

Dolion paused a moment. There was always a name he was fond of for a baby girl, and this small one looked to be the perfect candidate to receive it. She was as pretty as her mother, and no doubt would be a force to be reckoned with.

"(Name)." Dolion spoke, nodding to himself. "Call her, (Name)."

His true feelings on this had accidentally slipped by, and the baby's father looked up with a raised brow.

"You seem pretty certain on that name?" The father spoke, slight tease in his voice. "You must like the name, huh old friend?"

Dolion shrugged, covering his tone again. He had almost revealed how angry he was about this. It should be him with the baby. Him with the wife. Him with the fame. Him with the museum. Him with the success.

"What can I say..." Dolion laughed. "I always thought if I had a daughter... I'd name her that."

The two parents looked at one another and then nodded to one another. Dolion raising a brow as the mother spoke.

"Well, Dolion... we hope you'll be an uncle to our daughter." She smiled gently. "I'm sure little (Name) would love that."

Dolion couldn't help but smile, but not for the same reasons the parents were.

Bakugou huffed, looking out towards his girlfriend who was smiling gently as she worked on her homework. When she had invited him over to do homework together, he had assumed it would be at her home.

Instead, he, the two kwamis and her were all stuffed into the small closet she called an office that this museum. He had finished his a few minutes ago, and now was looking at the inactive miraculous that was supposed to have been put back after last night's group efforts and getting that white-haired little girl back to normal.
