Lmaooo, literally-

H is gonna be a good mix of really fucking confused, appreciative, and mildly concerned, lol

Yeahh, that seems fair lmao

-

Koler; "Yeah, and apparently this guy named Andi that had been staying with Viar for a while was like, looking for that same redhead? I'm not even sure what happened."

H; "What."

-
The amount of confusion as Koler just goes about telling H what all happened without them there would be hilarious XD

Oh, totally. H just standing there in utter confusion

Also-

Koler: "Oh, and, side note, I also practically adopted this child, and she's going to stay in contact, and, since you're my partner and all (we... Are still partners, right??), you technically have a kid now too."

H: "I- Somehow that's not even the weirdest thing you've told me today-"

Koler: "Oh, and that child is currently traveling with Briar (who's a former gang member who joined shortly after you left, by the way) and that same redhead... And I think Andi is still looking for him... So it's possible that Andi's a major threat... I probably should have checked on that before I left, now that I think about it."

H: "..."

H: "Koler, my darling, love of my life.... what the fuck-"

Yessss-

And they eventually meet and all and it's just-

Koler; "Are those new scars? Man, what happened while I was gone?"

Garvin; "Hm? Oh, yeah, it was uh... Uh... What was his name again?"

Briar; "Andi, I think?"

Garvin; "Yeah, yeah. That bitch."

H, standing off to the side; "What."

H about to go full angel, because, did they run away? Yes, they were paranoid about accidentally hurting someone they cared about by destroying Viar and, also, their mental health was total shit and, due to constant manipulation, yeah, well, they didn't feel like they could do much-

But, are they an extremely overprotective (to a scary point) person with an extremely in tune feeling of justice (again, to a scary point) who has also healed quite a bit mentally at this point?

Absolutely.

They are not going to be happy when they find out that the guy who finally freed their lovely boyfriend and a while group of abused people from Viar's grip ended up getting hurt due to someone who, in their mind, was also associated with Viar-

I love that-

Garvin accidentally adding another person to the tally of 'People That Care' without even realizing it lmao

Everyone on the tally are probably just very confused as to how Garvin hasn't realized haha

Imagine Andi shows up a third time and everyone just beats him up XD

To be fair though, I haven't really decided if Andi will die after the Andi Arc or not. So if he's already dead, H won't have too much to worry about haha-

Yeahh, and Akira and Nico are gonna be particularly annoyed at the fact that Garvin won't accept that people care about him, lmao

Well, if he doesn't die after the Andi Arc and he shows up again, he probably doesn't stand much chance-

Lol

Good to know, haha-

Means I'm writing this short story right lol

-

Yeahh- The one thing he's got going for him in the way of chances is Weakness and the fact that he doesn't like to try anything whenever big crowds of people would try to stop him. And after the Andi Arc, where he'd be attributing his failure to Nico and Ingall? Yeahhh, he would be even more picky about the opportune time haha...

Ooo, interesting, lol

Yeah, those two will absolutely smother Garvin until he accepts they love him. Meanwhile, Ingall will care just as much but have more chill and actually think before acting, trying to figure out what'll work for Garvin more than just throwing gifts, compliments, and physical touch around (not that those are bad in Gall's mind... Except maybe physical touch, but he won't just jump to conclusions about what Garvin needs, haha)

-

Hmmm, yeahhh, cue concerned partners never letting Garvin out of their sight for a good while, lmaoooo

The short story is almost done. It's a lot of hurt/comfort. Aki is the first one to speak and the first one to really start the comfort part lol

It's adorable so far. And sad still. But uh. Yeah.

-

Just one of them gets a glimpse of Andi and then never lets Garvin out of their sight because 'Nahhh, not happening'

I mean, totally fair- Especially with how they find the three, namely Garvin. Oh boy.
