[SHRIEKS HRIEKS HIREKSHERIKRHSIRHDS NO TRAVIS NO cue laughter and flailing and squirming even though they’re close quarters!]  I-I can’t help it if you make…Make a cute kitty!

All you did was huff and puff until we both started scratching— Stop it Travis!

[And then she’s squirming even more, probably splayed everywhere and trying to worm for Ashley asdkjfhlasdhj Uni you fucking dork stop it]  Tell him, Ashley!  He was cute, right?

[LITTLE GIRL PLS KDGHJKNSDKFK she’s flopping all over both of them and now he is laughing and trying to intervene oh noooooo kawaiis]

Hm?

Of course. He was very cute. [Seriously, oversized housecat. c8]

savedropping:

mafialoli:

Oh, I don’t know, I was scared until—

Well, until five seconds later! 

[Sry Travis you’re the laughingstock kawaii just don’t take her laughing and snuggling in as an insult ok]

That is a very good point, though!  I mean, given all that I could do before, and all that you two can still do now, it’s probably not so weird.  That we’re all even here at all says that other universes exist, and sometimes they just contain awful things but we’re all grown-up enough to handle that!

And we’re smart enough to know better; pacifists until death!

Yeah, you’re right. I mean—

—Wait, seriously?! I must’ve been scarier than that!! [HRHRHGHGHH HAIR MUSSING TO ASSERT HOW FEARSOME HE IS!!!]

[Lol you guys. u wu

He says nothing of the pacifist line—he and Travis are hardly pacifists and he knows Travis is thinking the same thing—but to have a bit of peace for now’s good enough, right?

So he just sits and smiles at the two of them.]

mafialoli:

There! Now it’s all settled, right?  No one’s mad at anyone, and we all know the difference between universes!  Just like the mature, functional people all three of us are.

[She tugs one arm from each of them around her, unable to repress a giggle.]

Plus you could always just scratch his ears before he sat on you, right?  That seems to be a weakness in tigers, as far as I can see!

Hm.

…Thank you both, for forgiving each other and everything.  People do funny things when they see other universes, but you two really took it well!  I’m very proud of you.

[famiry hug time awww here it goes]

He seemed to rather enjoy it before. The scratching, I mean. [hehehehe]

…Considering what we’ve dealt with all put together, understanding that much isn’t quite so difficult, hm? [Besides, he can’t exactly storm out justifiably or anything. Not after everything else they’ve already gone through.]

savedropping:

mafialoli:

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaand she notices; she’d been expecting this, but there’s no time to fuss when they could all be snuggling, right?]

We’re fine.  Now get in here so you two can talk it out or something if you’re going to insist on being weird.

Good to know that we can all be kind of sensible, though!  I’m not going to pretend that that was just a dream or anything, or that it wasn’t awful, because that wouldn’t be right.

But we can’t let it break us, okay?  I love you both very much, and you two are best friends, so it doesn’t matter about…About horrible things happening!  What matters is how you both react now!

[HUFF.] I’m not being weird.

[why are they both in his bed now tho, that much IS weird.]

…Like I said. That was me, but it’s not the me I am now. Damn, alternate universes are weird. It’s not like I’m gonna go berserk again anytime soon, so that’s not a problem at all. 

I’m sorry the other me didn’t get to meet you, and that he was stupid enough to do that. But… it’s okay here. Better.

It’s strange, yes. But it isn’t you, and I should know far better than to doubt that. There is nothing to forgive—you have done me no wrong here.

…

In any case, we all know that, were it the two of us as we are now, I’d simply disable you before you could lay a tooth upon me.

[Oh my god he’s being coy what have you done Travis.]

(via heatinyourheart)

mafialoli:

…Thank you, Ashley.  You saved me some trouble. 

[And then she starts trying to move Travis over so that maybe everyone can fit; it’s not looking good, but she’s determined!]

What I think the point is of all of this is that…Maybe we should be even happier for what we have; without my powers, there’s nothing to be done to help us there anyway, so we just have to take it as it is.

An entire other universe.

Are you alright, Ashley?  I can’t imagine that was…Um, nice for you.  Come on, we’re all going to talk this out.  I insist!

[He quietly traces a line across his throat with his thumb—something that Travis notices. Both of them look a bit uncomfortable now that the other one is there.]

…I’m fine. Please don’t worry about me. Are you both all right?

Uni is right. However terrible that may be, or have been, we are here. We can only live the lives we have had laid out for us now.

savedropping:

Hah, nope. Figured that one out already.

And… I guess that makes sense. Wonder if I’ll end up any worse or any better there in the end, though.

…Nah, you haven’t. [He’s not mad about that whole death curse thing anymore, so it doesn’t count.]

I don’t know how much you know, but there’s a hell of a lot under the surface there. It is messy. Maybe worse than me, even if he holds it together better.

…

‘I’m sorry I turned into a tiger and chewed through your windpipe in an alternate universe’? 

[SUDDENLY

THWAP travis you have been smacked upside the head for that last bit.]

That’s enough of that.

[He’s not so much bothered by the gore he saw as… the fact that it’d been Travis and Uni there. He has, after all, seen much worse than himself dying.]
