I know now, father!

[He said with a laugh, but took a seat at the table.]

But back then, I was just so used to being afraid since Allie and I lost our birth parents. Afraid of what would happen to us, what we would eat, what we would do when it got cold… then you took us in.

[He looked carefully over all the varieties of takoyaki, looking for something that felt familiar.]

I just couldn’t shake the fear off until that day. It was a big weight off my shoulders.

[Picking one, he looked up at his father with a beaming grin, addressing something he’d mentioned.]

If only you knew some of the mischief I caught Rex in.

[forgarlemald]

Oh? Are you saying that there was more mischief happening than everything I'd already caught him doing over the years?

[He knows the answer that that. He knows it's a great resounding YES, because this is Rex they're talking about, and Rex was causing mischief as he breathed. There's a bittersweetness to those memories, his heart still aching at the loss of his son...]

[But right now, with Alfonse, speaking of him doesn't cause his smile to fall. It's...better, to remember them like this, with happier memories.]

[And it's with that thought in mind that Gaius carefully grabs a small, wrapped bundle from the counter before he joins Alfonse at the table, sitting next to the boy and handing him the gift with great care.]

...perhaps you would be willing to show me what else I'd missed, then, if only because the curiosity will eat at me for the rest of my days if you don't.

Should he be the next one to arrive to this star, I promise that won't tell him you tattled.
