Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blank thought about it a moment...he didn't really think of coming back to Dollet, he always imagined spending the rest of his days teaching young kids...but the thought appealed to him...alot, especially with Aki there with him,"...That'd be great." He said with a smile, "...Have a bunch of little sweet-talking Blanks running around?" He joked with a light laugh, his eyes on the stone ground below.

He continued to grin as he figured himself funny, still looking amongst the quiet street before his smile faded slightly, "...So when do you think we should get back? To Balamb, I mean." Blank said, holding her close as his arm moved up and down her arm comfortingly.

Blank laughed before nodding, "Yeah, who knows what stuff he's approving." He said with a smile, a thought popping up in his head of Komet approving pink uniforms and buying a large inflatable elephant in the main lobby of the Garden.

He grinned at the mental image, "Yeah, probably." Blank said with a wide grin. They turned down the street till their house came into view, the lights of the living room dimly lit. They moved up the steps of the stoop before he twisted the knob and pushed the door open. Looking back at Aki with a smile, he stepped in to see his folks sitting on the couch of the living room.

His mother asleep and laying down on a pillow that was in Christian's lap. The older man looked up at Blank and Aki with a smile, "You guys 'ave been awhile. Good walk?" He asked as the news spoke softly into the air. Blank nodded, looking back at Aki as he kicked his boots off, "Very good, right?" He replied, casting Aki another look with a smile.

"Shhhh." Christian shushed, placing a finger over his lips before pointing down at the sleeping woman in his lap, "She's past out." He said looking at the two with a grin, remembering that young feeling that Blank and Aki had.

Blank smiled as he took her hand, "C'mon..." He said, slowly leading her away from his father and sleeping mother, "Night, oldman." He whispered waving to his father who waved good night. He led Aki to the basement again, pushing the door open and moving down the steps with Aki in tow behind. Coming up to the door of his room, he pushed it open and flicked on the light, lighting up his room before stepping and yawning with a stretch of his arms, "You tired?" He asked, his eyes slightly closed.

Blank smiled before nodding, walking over to the dresser that had various stickers lining the top, he pulled out the drawer and drew out a pair of pajama pants. He threw his clothes off and changed into the pale blue pants, removing the muscle shirt he wore last before walking over to the laying girl who stared up at him, "Whatcha lookin' at?" He asked, grinning as he fell onto the bed and climbed under the bloodred covers beside Aki.

He grinned as she wrapped her arms around him while he wrapped his around hers. He felt his eyes start to close, taking in a deep sigh of air while he cuddled close to her, "I love you..." He said sleepily as he drifted off into a slumber.

((Timelapse!!!*Crazy special effects*))

Morning came fast as Blank found himself waking up slowly. He lifted his head from the pillow, his eyes opening in slits as he peered around the darkened room. He looked at the clock that sat beside his bed on an end table, the glowing digits reading that it was 6:54 in the morning. He let out a low yawn as his head smacked the pillow lightly as he stretched his legs out underneath the cover...or what covers he had. His right side was loosely covered, but his whole left side had no blankets over it. He peered to his right to see Aki snuggling in them, warm and comfy looking.

Blank smiled lightly before yawning and rising slowly, leaning over her and planting a light kiss on her head. He carefully tossed his legs over the edge of the bed and pushed himself from the mattress, stretching his arms into the air before looking around his familiar room. Slipping out of his pajama pants, he opened one of his dresser drawers and pulled a pair of stonewashed black jeans and threw them on, followed by a simple form fitting black t-shirt.

He strolled up to the bed one last time before leaning over Aki and giving her a light kiss once more, hovering over her sleeping form with a small smile and leaving the room quietly. The crimson warrior jogged up the stairs silently before pushing the door open and closing it. He could smell bacon as he stepped into the kitchen, seeing his mother over a smoking pan, "Mornin'." He said with a stretch before moving over to his heavy boots.

"Where you goin'?" His father's voice chimed, walking down the stairs that led above, his metal foot clanking against the hard wood, "I'm just gonna visit the coffee shop...You want anything?" He asked, tying his laces, "Just a black coffee." Christian replied with a smile stepping into the kitchen, "Mom?" Blank asked rising, "Hmm....A Strawberry Danish." She replied with a smile. Her son nodded as he pulled the door open to see the sun poking behind the buildings, the smell of mildew in the air. It was chilly, but it was nice out as he closed the door behind him and left for the shop.
