[ Yeah, this one's going all deer in headlights because you're his mother and he's kind of ready to do whatever it takes to be with That One for a long, long time. ]
He is amazingly, painfully shy for a high-profile Keeper of the Vigil, and the man who kinda sorta saved my life. He's way too good at making sure that we never get caught alone together.
[ He loves you, Hikaru, and this is why he is going to do this. ]
His family's great. And I think you've met... Tohru Fukuzawa?
[ He hasn't been... keeping up with Hecaton with the same amount of focus as he had before. You're okay, Lincoln Hawke is in charge, and they're on shore leave anyway, so. ]
I dunno, I was thinking that maybe... we could... [ he's just going to smile at you because you probably know where this is going, Mom. ]
[ Aaaand he's reaching out for your hand again. He gets it, he really does, but you're here and you're his mom and he's going to miss you when you go. ]
Well, we'll always have text. And Vicetime.
[ Yeah, Makoto's got the city and there are other Sin-Eater's on call. And what good is taking shore leave if he can't sit the fuck down and enjoy the fact that he has you for the rest of today. ]
I'm going to need to leave around six [ for his date, eheh... ] but point me where you need me here so I can make like a good boy and be useful to you?
[ He's honestly already thinking of wrestling kitchen rights from you. He's not the only one who's missed you. ]
[ He's rising from his seat at that, and sneaking a quick eskimo kiss your way justbecause he can ( he has you back, he will repeat that as many times as necessary because it is something he didn't think would come true ) before he's picking up those cigarettes and that ashtray and that bottle of his. ]
I can go call Cindy.
[ It's an offer that means J can focus on her network and you can maybe mosey on over to Dad in the back.
Which makes him wonder: ] Mom? What kind of a Technomancer are you?
[ He knows, based off of his readings of the other supernatural classes that there are different paths or disciplines depending on what you are. Cindy's fairly young at this, but you've been a Technomancer for a really long time. ]
[ And yes, there is a brief flash of holy shit that is amazing because now that you're back and safe in the ways that count, he can temporarily shelve his feelings on the matter surrounding Valkyrie. ]
Maybe... sometime... can you show me what you can do?
[ Or tell him all about it, whichever works is totally fine by this one. ]

...w-what's that?

[She wishes to speak to him properly now, okay!]

It's the shoulders that move first. And then you'll hear him, just as he brings up his hands to scrub them over his face. ]
no subject
Well. Maybe she doesn't have to.]
Swear to me, son, that you'll do something about that. Or you'll let me handle it.
no subject
And then he's going to give you a kiss on the cheek. ]
I promise I will even resort to blackmail to get my boyfriend [ wow, holy shit, it feels good to say that out loud ] to have dinner with us sometime.
[ Actually. Huh. There's an idea. ]
Now that I think about it... [ you'll know that smile, Mom. Your son has an Idea. ]

What are you thinking?
[She is pretty sure she will like it.]

[There's a dry note to her voice at that point, but it's mostly said that way in jest.]
Sure.
[She's happy to be a mother to you in any way possible.]
no subject
I'm really glad you're home.
When... you'll be heading back stateside tomorrow, huh?
no subject
[Especially since Brigade, his second, has been placed on mandatory shore leave, and Tohru Fukuzawa is still recuperating.]

Well, we'll always have text. And Vicetime.

Why don't we swap.

no subject
Isn't a mother allowed to keep a few secrets from her son?
[Saying that with a wink.]
no subject
He's chuckling though. ]
Then, I guess I'll need to do a bit more research on my end then.
[ You're getting a kiss on the cheek for that as he's holding the door open for you. ]
