Cupid's Bows and Errors

Chapter 1: An Unforeseen Restart

[Name's POV]
"We're getting a divorce," Amor said after I sat down on the couch trying to sip my cup of tea in peace. Before I could answer I slowly slurped the liquid from the teacup in the midst of the awkward silence.

"Ok and that matters to me because...?" I say after placing my cup of tea on the countertop just how Tamaki taught me a while ago.

"Don't give me attitude young human," she scolded me and I scoff at her attempt at parenting

"Calm down, I'm an adult now, what gives you the right to scold me if you weren't even a part of my childhood," I lean on the couch with a frown on my face.

"Why you little brat," before she could scold me any more, Fran walked in with a disappointed look. "Please don't scold my child," he said to Amor and I smiled.

"What he said," I then felt a small slap on the back of my head. "Owwww" I whined and I heard him click his teeth..

"[Name] this is a serious conversation and we want your serious input," he pulls you to his side and wraps an arm around your shoulder.

"We decided that we aren't romantically interested in each other anymore and we were wondering if you want to be under one of our custodies, or if you would rather continue living alone..." he sighs sadly. "We know that we weren't in your life long enough for you to choose a guardian. We also know that you're an adult now because age wise and after the author took years to update you are an adult now." He taps your forehead to make you look him in the eyes.

"Divorce works differently in the god realm, we need the child to decide and lay out the terms for themselves," he gives you a cookie knowing that you enjoy sweets.

"We will let you decide and take your time and when you're ready you can lay out your conditions, but as of now Amor and I aren't together any more.

With that they both left your apartment and left to do their work

Leaving you with your thoughts...

The next day you arrived on campus and you made your way to the classroom. Last sequel was hectic. You just hope you aren't given another complicated plot like last time. Not only did you fight off some god, you also met your parents, had a lover, and made new friends and revived old friendships. There were also many plot holes as well but the author hates when I mention those.

I look to the sky knowing damn well they can see me giving them the eye of judgment. I sighed in frustration and wiped my face with my hands remembering the tiring events from the last sequel.

As I took a seat at my usual desk I could sense that people were staring at me in wonder, to which confused the hell out of me since I've seen these people before.

I looked ahead to see that the teacher was also gazing at me in confusion. He then calls out to me and tells me to present myself to the class.

"I didn't realize that we have a new student, but please come to the front of the class and introduce yourself." He motions for me to hurry up and the confusion of my predicament increases.

I looked around to see what the joke was but from the thoughts running in some people's minds they really didn't know who I am.

I decided that the most reasonable thing to do was to just introduce myself now and continue on trying to figure out what the hell is happening later

During the rest of class I kept hearing people's thoughts and trying to scroll through each to see if they have any memory of me.

But by the end of the day I found no one.

Saiki wasn't here either.

What is going on?

When school was finally over I made sure to head home straight away because something was obviously wrong.

In conclusion no one has memories of me and are apparently meeting me for the first time.

Saiki wasn't at school. Not even my friends have any memory of me.

When reaching my house I see Fran leaning on the wall anxiously holding stacks of papers in his arms and some were spilling out of his satchel as well.

"[Name], hurry child there's been changes to the entire world," he urges me to open the door and I unlock it.

Taking off my shoes we headed to my study room and he placed the documents on the table and one of them caught my eye.

"Why is there a file about Scooby?" Before he could stop me from opening the file I already skimmed the letter and I slammed the file shut.

"Scooby is going to be taken away from me?" I look at Fran in confusion. I was beyond pissed off not at Fran but at whoever is in charge of this.

"Scooby is being taken away because of what happened in Paris, everything that is happening is the consequences of what we did in Paris." He rubs his temples from the stress.

"[Name], humans aren't allowed to know about us gods, like they are allowed to see us since we all use aliases, but what they can't see is us using our powers." He spreads out the files in total there being five.

"I'm not sure if everyone saw us use our powers but the corporate decided that it would be best to start over," in each file I opened was a case where powers were shown and identities.

"Saiki was the one who saw the most of us use our powers, he was debated on because we know he has powers himself we just don't understand how that came to be," he opens up a file with Saiki's information.

"We had to make some alterations to his memory but as far as I know no one has memory of you, so think of this as a fresh start kid." He closes the file with sluggish movements and leans back waiting for my response.

First there was the divorce, then I found out no one knows who I am, memories were altered, Scooby was taken away. In conclusion I'm back at square one. Instead of peace I keep getting bad news. That's how you know I'm main character material.

"What do I do?" I ask after a couple of minutes in silence.

"I had a life before this alteration, I was on hiatus literature wise for a couple of years cause the author was busy, but I'm still a kid. What do I do dad?" I held my head in my hands.

Change was never easy and now my whole life was taken away to have a restart that I never consented to. I could hear Fran get up from his chair and when he had my permission to hug me he consoled me.

We sat on the ground for a while, he never let go and rubbed my back softly. I shook from the unknown fear of the future.

How does someone fix this?

"Child, I'm sorry I couldn't have done anything. This was all behind my back, but all I can do is help you now with anything you need and I mean anything." He kisses my head and I fall asleep in his arms.

In the midst of all this I finally know what a fathers love felt like and one thing I'm grateful for is that they didn't take Fran away from my life...
