Ugh.

He hated this.

Hated these feelings.

It felt disgusting-

Made him feel-

A shudder runs down his spine.

Mortal.

He scowls as he stomps around his temple.

What the hell was he supposed to do?

It wasn't like he could fix anything.

Not right now.

Faustina was still sleeping.

He doubted he'd get to check on his Kitten with her help.

Without it?

Yeah, that was a big fat no.

Which was stupid, because he was a god.

Who were these brats to tell him no?

Ugh!

He drags his hands down his face before he holds his newly freed hand out in front of him.

He should be thrilled.

Finally, after twenty shit filled years, he had some of his power back.

He should be happy.

So, why the fuck did it bother him?

Her screams had never done so before. So, why did it have to start now, right when she'd gotten one of the stupid things off.

It didn't make any damned sense.

He scowls.

Then again, what the fuck had in the last-

Ugh.

He wanted so badly to say years-

But it wasn't.

It was one.

A year.

He knew what changed, he turns his glare towards the sitting room.

And they were sleeping on his fucking sofa.

He curls his lip.

Dumb.

It was so fucking dumb.

But that didn't change that it was.

He stomps into the room. They needed to go.

He needed time to think.

Space.

But as he reaches over the back of the sofa to shake them awake, he's met with a small pair of green eyes.

The exact same color as his personal pain in the ass.

And the sister that also inhabited the body.

It throws him off.

"Uh, hi?"

The boy nods before he tilts his head and looks up at him curiously.

He grimaces before he takes a step back.

Great. Just what he needed, a tiny little mini T to-

His eyes narrow.

"Look," he glares at the kid, "I don't know if you understand the situation, but uh, you're kind of taking up my time here."

The boy purses his lips as he holds up his arms and looks around before he turns back to him.

"With them," he stabs the air between him and Faustina, "again, being young and stupid, you might not realize that's a girl and a boy you're with."
