You can't just offer and then take it away. Isn't there a phrase kids use, no takesy backsy or something like that?

[ He lets out a tiny huff and even goes as far as to elbow Terra a little. Not enough to really do anything though. He wasn't expecting a question like that, but... it was honestly touching to be thought of like that. ]

[darkearth]

You're right. [Don't bully him, Squall, what the heck.] Okay. [No matter how much you try, Squall, he will always be a brickhouse. The elbow is a mosquito bite!]

I won't take it back. It means you're committed. So you have to show up.

[innermonologues]

[ Terra started it to begin with so he deserves all bullying!... Even if said bullying doesn't work when he's built like a brickhouse... Darn it terra when are Squall's muscles going to come in... ]

I won't even tease you when I see you in your tux.

[darkearth]

[Alright now. Terra is trusting Riku and Squall when it comes to not teasing him!!]

You would tell me if it didn't... look good, right?

[innermonologues]

[ A terrable decision really... ]

I won't let you embarrass yourself in front of your bride to be.

[ Well, as much as he could protect him from that anyway. He can't really do anything if Terra chokes up. ]

[darkearth]

[stop]

I’m counting on you then. [He manages a small smile.] If not, I might have to tell Auron on you anyway.

[innermonologues]

Oh nooo, don't tell dad.

[Saying that out loud still felt so weird to him, even as a joke... but it was still kind of nice to have people to think of as family. ]

[darkearth]

[Hearing it as "dad" is also weird for Terra, but he'll get use to it. Reaching up, he gives Squall's hair another ruffle, more annoyingly teasing this time, more on purpose.]

I'm... [Not sure how he wants to say it, he shakes his head.] The only family I've really had was... Master Eraqus, Aqua, and Ven. I know I still have Aqua and Ven, but...

I'm glad to have you and Auron now, too.

[innermonologues]

[ Sounds like that's another thing the two of them kind of share in common.. ]

Yeah, same... Before the only family I had was sis and Matron, though I hadn't seem them since I was five... then I came here and it's like you guys just pop out like flowers.

[darkearth]

[Squall getting overwhelmed by the flower friendship. Bless.]

You don't like flowers...?

[Probably a tease, but he asks so seriously!]

[innermonologues]

I don't mind them too much.

[ He likes them... it's just embarrassing to admit it out loud. ]

[darkearth]

Lucky us. [RIP Squall. He just gave Terra permission to advocate friendships and family sprouting up around Squall.] Maybe you're a good gardener. If you have a lot of flowers around.

[He smiles like he thinks he's funny.]

[innermonologues]

Either that or my flowers have terrible tastes in my green thumbs. [ Squall tries to shove Terra again, but since he's basically built like a bolder... ]

[darkearth]

I don't believe that.

[The shove gets him to laugh mostly because there's really hardly any effect from it aside from his bit of waver.] If you have a lot of flowers, you must not be too bad. [Squall is doing something right.]

Are you planning to work at Auron's place?

[innermonologues]

[ Squall looks a little embarrassed when Terra flat out says he doesn't believe it. He will never win against him, this guy was seriously as kind as Sora is, at least when it came to others anyway. ]

I'll probably help out every now and then, but I'm already working at The Hearth.

[darkearth]

[Squall is just neck deep in Kingdom Hearts goods.]

I'll have to pick up your slack then.

[He smiles a bit. Just teasing. Like Squall does him, he reaches up to give the other a nudge in the arm with his fist.]

Don't worry. I'll help, too. He'll be okay.

[innermonologues]

[ Unlike Terra who's built like a brick wall, Squall actually moves a little when he's nudged by the other. ]

He'd probably like your help more anyway. Won't have to deal with my smart mouth that way.
