[His lullabies are flawless, thank you. But just for that, Choromatsu will be treated to a kiss that he's too close to squirm away from, just as Poseidon gently lowers him back to the sea floor.]
[ He still tries to squirm away anyway though it is futile. Gross, dad!! He is maybe a little too quick to get away once he's lowered down because of that, though he only swims as far as just out of his dad's hand. ]
Good. Take your time with your gift, and I will try to have my part done quickly so you can give it to your friend. I pass along the same regards to her as I did to...Takumi, was it?
I see...well, I hope both of your friendships continue to flourish and blossom as time continues, my son. And you know if you ever need any advice, you can always come to me.
[Even......relationship advice. From the thousand year old being who has never had anything close to a romantic relationship but it's fine.]
[ he then moves to go pick up his things and put them all back in the bag he brought them in. Now that he knows what colours are going to be made for him, he's going to try and look for more things that'll complement them. No more arranging today though. He's got the time.
Though speaking of your relationship history or lack there of Poseidon... ]
[What a question...one that he's not afraid to answer, per say, but perhaps its just...more sad for him to bring up. His expression sure shows it, what with the way it falls only a touch, retaining that wistfulness. ]
Oh...oh yes, my son. I have harbored love for both, but...none of my pursuits ever bore fruit.
[If Choromatsu ever wondered where the two seahorses Poseidon owns came from....that was basically all he got from trying, ever.]
It is why I chose to....mm. "Adopt" children of my own, to put it in those terms. When you have existed for as many millennia as I have, you realize that having no one to share your creations with can get frightfully lonely.
[ Man he just got held and already got a lot of affection... but fuck it. He's swimming up to Poseidon's nearest arm and giving it a hug. Because dad should have one. ]
His first inclination is to lift his hand a little, cupping it in the water around where Choromatsu is without actually touching him. He's still smiling.]
It- ...ah...it really is okay, son...
[But he doesn't stop him from hugging him, either. It's probably a very real possibility that Poseidon, on top of never having had a relationship, has never...been hugged, not really. His sons can only do so much without being able to physically embrace him, and they have each other...
Eventually, he does let his finger press lightly against Choromatsu's back, as if to mimic something a bit more like a hug.]
Perhaps...some day, I will find my soulmate, one to spend eternity with. But it is no longer my priority.
[It's...always been a big deal for him, as far as relationships go, but he's only just now considered the fact of his sons having more than one parent. He can't help but wonder if only him raising them is really the best for them...
But that's just another thing he can lose sleep over since he's almost always thinking about his children anymore anyway.]
Well...things work out in funny ways, sometimes. You never know how things may end up working out. It is very possible our family will grow in due time.

Eeeh, really? You would love me less as a father if I were a whale?~
[He's just teasing now, obviously...he probably has the power to make himself one if he really wanted to. But he doesn't want to.]

Ahh...that hurts...
[His lullabies are flawless, thank you. But just for that, Choromatsu will be treated to a kiss that he's too close to squirm away from, just as Poseidon gently lowers him back to the sea floor.]
Regardless...do you feel better now?

Yeah, a lot better.

no subject
Mmhm-- Takumi. And Dia.
[ he said one name he may as well say them both ]
gives up and just tags psls I sat doing nothing for hours so other tags arent happening
[He echoes their names with a hint of a smile in his tone, chuckling to himself.]
How long have you known them for now, Choromatsu?
spreads my arms open for you
[ He has to... actually stop and think about that ]
O... Over a month now I think. Maybe two?

Okay... Thanks, dad.

Hey... have you ever been in love?
no subject
[He smiles, looking off wistfully into the distance of the sea.]
I fell in love since the very first moment I saw you boys.
[That's not what he means.]
no subject
Daaaaaaaaaaad, that's not what I meant.
I mean like... in love love. With a girl? Or even a guy, maybe?
[ he has no clue how you even swing dad ]

no subject
...That's really sad, actually.
[ He'd kind of known for a while that his dad was lonely before they were born but not this much about him. ]
no subject
[He laughs a bit thickly, shaking his head.]
I have more love than I could possibly hold for my children. I could not really ask for much more.

I'd say I hope that happens before we all decide to be independent but I have a feeling most of them won't ever want to do that.
[ Definitely not someone like Osomatsu at least ]
no subject
no subject
[ SO ARE YOU CHOROMATSU ]
...Though... come to think of it I don't really know what having a mother is like.
[ or two dads. ]
no subject
Poseidon nudges the side of Choromatsu's cheek with his finger at that.]
No...I suppose you really would like to, someday.
[Hm...]
no subject
Maybe? I don't know... it doesn't seem that big of a deal.
