"We haven't met before, I'm what you could call a face lost in the crowds, but... i'm happy you've found a true family." He smiles softly.
Aeon regards the newcomer who seems to know more about him than he knows about them, but inclines his head. “Thank you. I am ... I am happy too. Cautiously so....”
*A jumbo bag of pretzel sticks sits with a note attached* “I always believed in you sweetie, I can’t wait to see you flourish with Mordecai and Summer at your side. You’re gonna grow up an astounding person, I can tell 💛” ((@ the writer, i am desperately hoping this isn’t another diabolrick ploy, idk if my heart can handle it ;-;. Especially since he hasn’t made a single comment on aeons posts... but regardless of what happens you guys are absolutely amazing writers and rpers!))
He smiles, taking the bag and smiling at the note. He feels the same way, really. He’s happy to finally have a home.
[And NOPE @diabolrick burned his last bridge with Aeon, he’s done with his dick of a Rick. I think Mordecai is going to take him under his wing and things will be great!]
(askmortica) "I always knew the real you would shine bright. You took some time but I prefer seeing the real you. " she flashes him a warm grin in response.
He smiles and looks a bit sheepish. “Thank you... I really, I really appreciate that. I guess it took me a long time to let go of my loyalty to @diabolrick because he, you know, created me...but.. but family is built, and forgiveness.... I’m glad to have it.”
Summer is pale-faced and exhausted from what transpired—the yelling, the rhetoric, the threats, cryptic half-confessions, horrifying puzzle pieces being put together. She knocks on the frame of Aeon's door at Time's Hollow, in lavender pajamas that Mordecai made her a very long time ago... so long ago, now, but mere seconds of the time stolen. Her brown eyes go soft when she meets Aeon's gaze; she finds the strength in her to smile softly, and extends a hand. "Come to bed, little brother."
Aeon freezes at the words, not sure what to do. He’s never known acceptance like this, but it’s like he’s found his real sister in her. He wasn’t worthy of forgiveness, he hadn’t earned it. Emotions swirled in him and he for a long moment he couldn’t speak at all. He hesitates, rubbing his arm, before finally nodding.
“O-okay sis. I’ll be right there.”
It seems like you've been through a lot, and I don't know how others feel, but I uh... I'm glad you're okay...
..T-thanks.... I really, I really appreciate that.
As if they've sensed you mentioning it, a bright red rose with satin ribbon wrapped around the stem is suddenly on your door mat. Unwrapping the ribbon, you would notice that the thorns are still on and intact, but rather than piercing your hand it simply feels as though the stem is smooth.
He smiles, he’s delicate with it just in case, and admires it. He’s kept all these roses, the coral ones and the others, dried them and pressed them this whole time. He feels like he deserves this one, finally, he doesn’t feel like he deserved anything before..
He’d angered @diabolrick with the decision to side with Summer and Mordecai, but he didn’t care. Rick had made him and tossed him away, never appreciated him, never wanted him in the first place.
But Summer and Mordecai had been kind even when they didn’t have to be, after all that had transpired.
So he spilled the old man’s secrets, about how they were actually brother and sister, about how there was another Summer and Morty out there that were their siblings too, about how @diabolrick had been trying to create the “perfect” grandchildren, leaving in his wake broken dimensions and forgotten children and probably about 30 dead Jerrys.
His reward? To have his time twisted back to 14, to be a “dumb Morty”, as @diabolrick put it. It was painful, his body twisting horribly, bones shrinking, his head spinning.
But Summer held him, and Mordecai stood between him and Rick, and he knew it was worth it. He knew he had a family now, and that @diabolrick would never have power over him again.
He was his own person now.
What's your favorite flower?
Roses... I think about the person who sends me roses... a lot.... I wish I knew who they were....
Are you okay? It seems you've been pushed to the side recently with Kai and Summer being reintroduced into Rick's life as his new grandkids. You've given up virtually everything for Rick-- please don't be swept under the rug as if you were nothing.
I’m fine. I’ve even been invited to the Hollow.... it’s nice here....
A sharp breath followed by a soft sigh. Diligent hands always working. Ears that hear Nothing. Lips that say Nothing.
His loyalty, unquestionable.
How was your thanksgiving? I hear you ate with Rick and the other grandkids. - bracelet anon from your birthday
Yes. It was nice mostly.
You're a good kid.
T-thank you...
Are you allowed to have opinions or do you prefer to remain neutral on his grandkids? - Same Anon
I prefer to remain neutral. They’re of no consequence to me. I don’t have time to be envious anyways...
There's a bracelet tossed through a portal. It's weaved from blood red, dark blue, and gold embrodry thread. A note is attached. "Happy Birthday. You don't have to wear it, but it's something to remind you that someone thinks you deserve something nice."
He picks it up, it’s beautifully made, and after a moment he slips it around his wrist with a soft smile.
Two basket show up with lots of baked goods. One says Kai the other says Aeon Its has a note. "everyone deserves something nice on their birthday. If these came late I'm sorry. I kinda left before getting gifts out so I put Kai's in there too. I may not some agree but I hope that someday we can be friends. -mortica A-517 ps. You can call me Mo " Aeon's basket seems a little bigger
He dutifully delivers the basket to Kai, but is quick to go through his - so many exciting things to try.
[Sometimes I forget Aeon is still kinda child-like because he IS NOT EVE N A YEAR OLD ahhhhhh also whoever sends him the roses? I’m dying to know OOC who you are, it’s such a mystery XD]
Ahh, I’ve been real busy lately i almost missed your birthday!! *hands you a medium size dog plushie, it has the likeness of a german shepard* I made it myself! It also has a compartment in the back if you ever wanna store anything, see? *points to the long zipper in the back* im not sure how you feel about pups or plushies, but its nice to have something to hold once in a while, yknow? Anyway, happy birthday, sweetie! I hope you like it 💛
This is... very cute. Thank you... thank you so much.
