Honestly it was love at first sight.

I mean It merely took moments for both of them to decide that yes, that this is what they wanted for their lives and what they were willing to do for it.

The night was completely restless, for Geno at least. He tossed and turned throughout the night not being able to sleep due to the ball of excitement that swelled in his chest. Whereas Reaper was out like a complete light, almost made Geno laugh to himself if it wasn't the fact that Reaper snored like a buffalo on steroids.  

Geno sat up against the bed frame and reached out for his phone. Once he turned it on he noticed it was 2:47 AM, making him sigh. He knew he would have to wake up in a couple of hours but he just couldn't seem to sleep. Geno placed his phone down on his lap and turned towards Reaper, who continued to snore. Geno smiled to himself and laid back down into the blankets, he shifted so he faced Reaper and started to poke at his face. Reaper didn't do much the first few times but started to shift in an attempt to get away from Geno's pokes, when that didn't work Reaper tried swatting his hand away but woke up minutes later.

“Mh.” Reaper grunted and cracked one eye open, carefully grabbing at Geno's hands and lifting his head to lay it down on his hand so he would stop.

Geno laughed quietly while Reaper only made a noise of disapproval.

“What are you doing up?” Reaper grumbled in a quiet confused voice,  and rubbed his eyes, slowly starting to wake up, though he still felt a huge amount of drowsiness.

“Can't sleep, it'll be in a few hours.” Geno said in a whisper, as if a big secret was being revealed to the other.

Reaper hummed and covered his shoulder with the blanket and closed his eyes, he wrapped his arms around Geno's waist and slowly pulled him over to his chest so they were basically spooning. He nudged his face into the back of Geno's neck while the other got comfortable and rubbed at Reaper's arms gently.

“Mhm..That's why we need to sleep..” Reaper said in a mumble, almost nodding back into sleep, “Don't want to be tired in the morning..” Reaper slurred slightly as his eyes started to close once more.

Geno wanted to say something but only sighed quietly, it was quite comfy in this position and he didn't want to wake Reaper again since from the calm breathing Geno felt at the back of his neck, and the snoring, meant that the other finally fell asleep again.

Geno pressed against Reaper again and covered himself with the blanket, checking his phone one more time and gazing into a picture for a couple of minutes before finally shutting it off and putting it to charge. He closed his eyes and finally decided to try and sleep, and minutes later he finally slipped into a peaceful slumber.

¤

The morning came early as expected, and both alarms rang from the couples phones making them both groan, but both got up and started to get ready without a single complaint.

Both of them first went to the shower, getting in together and cleaning themselves off before getting out and getting dresses.

Since they were traveling far they would need some comfortable clothes to stay in for a bit. Geno chose a red shirt topped with a cotton grey hoodie along with some grey sweatpants and regular shoes, and to top it all off he decided to wear his red scarf along with it. Meanwhile, Reaper decided to toss on a simple black hoodie and black pants with black shoes, typical.

By the time they were finished it was roughly 7 AM and both were ready to leave. They grabbed their suitcases and drove off to the airport. By the time they made it to the plane and sat in their designated seats Geno felt nauseous from all the excitement and nervousness he felt collide around in his stomach. He gripped his pants slightly and looked out the window, his palms basically sweating at this point. Reaper noticed shortly and grabbed Geno's hand, kissing his wrist.

“Relax, love.” Reaper said softly and smiled at Geno, “You look like you're on the verge of passing out.” He said with a light chuckle at the end.

Geno nodded and took a deep breath, “I just can't wait.” He said and turned to look out the window, letting Reaper hold his hand, “It'll be different after this.”

Reaper nodded in agreement and got comfortable in his seat, “Yeah,” He looked around and noticed everyone settling down and sitting on their seats, “Get some rest, Gen, the plane is going to take off and we need to catch our second one afterwards.”

Geno glanced around and nodded, as excited as he was both of them had a very long journey ahead of them. From the Monster Kingdom all the way to the Imperial Kingdom, they were in for a lot of hours of just sitting and catching another plane later on.

Though the hours were long and the longer they sat still the more their legs ache throughout the flight. The same happened with their second plane, they boarded it, sat down for a couple of more hours and by the time they reached the Imperial Kingdom both Geno and Reaper were completely exhausted.

Thankfully, beforehand Reaper made sure to schedule time at a hotel for a few days so once they arrived they drove to the hotel and immediately passed out on the bed.

To he fair all this time of excitement, nervousness, and a bit of Anxiety crashed Geno into a deep sleep. After hours and hours of that Geno finally got a nights rest, but by morning it all came again.

Geno sat on the bed nervously, tapping his foot on the ground while Reaper paced around in front of the window that gave them a view of the town they were in. Cars and other vehicles drove right past the hotel, honking loudly or making screeching sounds that would make Geno cringe.

Both of them were waiting for it, for a certain call to be made to them, and waiting for it made them both nervous.

Finally after what seemed hours a ringing erupted in the room, making them both jump and look around. Geno quickly shoved his hand into his pockets for his phone but when he pulled it out it was just off. He looked up to Reaper who was doing the same and watch as he pulled out his ringing phone and answered it quietly.

“Hello?” Reaper spoke and paused in the middle of the room, only filled with silence ither than the conversation being held, “Uh huh.”

Geno tapped his foot nervously as Reaper paced around the room slightly.

“Yeah. Everything's ready?” Reaper asked amd paused for a few seconds before smiling, “Great. We'll head right over. Bye.”

With that Reaper hung up the phone and smiled at Geno, “They're ready for us.”

Geno instantly jumped in excitement and pretty much squealed as he wrapped his arms around his husband tightly, as if his life depended on it. Reaper gave the same enthusiasm but gave a chuckle then a loud squeal like Geno, and wrapped his arms tightly around Geno's waist.

The two stayed in a tight hug for a couple of moments before they pulled away, sharing excited looks.

“Come on, Let's go! I'm tired of waiting!” Geno said and got his bag from the bed. Reaper laughed and rushed to get his things as well, taking Geno's hand and walking out of the hotel as fast as their legs could.

It was only a couple minute walk to where they needed to go, but through their excitement and the rush of adrenaline they made it only a mere few. The two stopped in front of the large building, only glancing at the words on it for a split second before a small gate opened before them.

Who walked out was a small woman with a clipboard in her hands, “Oh! Hello, are you…” She glanced to her clipboard, “Reaper and Geno..?” She asked with a sweet smile.

Geno smiled and nodded, “Yeah we are, we got the call and came as soon as possible.”

The woman nodded and smiled, “Mhm! Come right in and we can finish the rest of the paperwork before we bring em’ in!”

Geno smiled at Reaper and hugged his arm and walked in through the gate after the small woman. From there they followed her through the small open area where grass and trees where, along with a couple of children running around and playing, making Geno smile.

The small lady lead them to a small office a bit far from the front of the building and opened the door for them where two chairs, a desk, and another chair in front of them where, “Take a seat,” she said and walked over to the single chair and sat down.

Both of them sat down and waited as she took out a few papers and passed them forward, “These are the last set of papers you need to sign since you already did the rest.” She said sweetly, “I know this whole process could be very exhausting and overwhelming, but it'll only be a few minutes more.”

Both Reaper and Geno nodded and grabbed their papers, reading over them carefully and checking each others papers before pulling out their pens and filling out the information needed. Signing it took a couple of minutes and the small woman waited patiently till they were finished. Once they were, they passed their papers back to her. She smiled and said a quiet ‘thank you’ before looking over their paperwork and smiling. With that she stood up and walked to a file cabinet, pulled out some papers and walked back over.

“Congratulations.” She smiled and handed them the paper which was actually a birth certificate and other information, “I think it's time for you to meet your son.”

With that she looked behind them and waved at someone to come in. Geno quickly stood up alongside Reaper who laced his fingers together with Geno's. Geno felt his soul beat faster and faster as each second went by and tightened his grip on Reaper's hand. Seconds later another woman came in with a tiny child waddling by her side, barely tall enough to reach her hand and stumbling with every step.

“Goth, sweetheart.” The small lady said and walked forward next to the couple, “We want you to meet someone, these are your dads.”

Goth didn't really understood what the small lady ment, considering he looked a year old, but looked up to his two 'dads’. Geno felt tears form in his eye as he saw his now adopted son look up to them, he felt so happy in this moment that he forgot how to speak.

Reaper on the other hand was just as excited as Geno, but let go of his hand momentarily to crouch down to Goths Level.

“Hey there, Buddy.” Reaper greeted in a soft voice, he gave Goth a small smile, but the child only looked around in slight curiosity of the office.

“It usually takes a while for a child to get used to their new parents.” The small lady hummed, “But he's a fairly curious and sweet child so give it a bit.” She reassured.

Geno nodded and calmed himself and crouched down next to Reaper, he grabbed the bag that was hanging on his shoulder and looked through it for a gift that he had gotten the child. While he did so Reaper tried to coax Goth into waving at him or smiling.

Goth only watched them curiously before letting go of the woman's hand, turning his attention to a small stack of books that were organized in a small cubby area on the side of the room.

Reaper only watched and turned his attention to Goth, watching him as the tiny child pulled at the books out of pure curiosity before turning his attention back to his new parents.

By then Geno managed to find a small stuffed bird that he thought the child might have liked. Considering the bright colors and generally considering it was a toy, Goth immediately was mesmerized by it and started to walk over.

Geno smiled and sat down on the floor, holding it out for Goth, “Hey there, I got this for you.” He said softly. Goth walked over and grabbed onto Reaper's hand to help him balance himself as he reached out for the toy, only patting it at first before standing in front of Geno and grabbing it. For the first few moments He stared and at it before making incoherent noises at Geno, who only smiled and nodded.

But after a bit Goth turned, and Geno assumed he was about to walk away but was surprised once Goth simply plopped himself on Geno's lap to sit and play with the bird. Reaper chuckled at them and rubbed Goth's head gently as he showed him the bird. By then the ladies thought this might be a good moment to leave them alone for a bit so the room had the three alone to get used to each other.

Reaper looked up to Geno teasingly and joked, “I can't believe you bribed a baby to like you.” He said, gesturing to the toy. Geno only scoffed and hit Reaper's shoulder lightly, who only found humour in it.

“Shut up,” Geno hummed at Reaper, and rubbed Goth's head, who started to babble at him and show him the bird. Geno only smiled and nodded, rocking him slightly in his lap.

The three stayed like that for a while longer, playfully interacting with Goth who got accustomed to them quite quickly, despite what most of the struggles their other friends who have adopted experienced.

Soon it came the time to leave and by then Goth lifted his hands towards Reaper to pick him up which Reaper did without a moment's hesitation, besides, the child looked tired.

On the way back to the hotel the two shared whispers of excitement and things that were going to change quietly since on the way back, Goth had fallen asleep on Reaper's shoulder.

They both walked back in like they were walking on eggshells, being sure not to disturb the child. Reaper carefully laid Goth down on the bed with his bird while Geno quietly put their stuff away.

“Jeez. That was a day.” Reaper chuckled softly, and once Goth was comfortable and secure on the bed he walked over to a chair and sat down.

Geno nodded and sat down next to Reaper, watching Goth sleep soundly on the bed, which would probably last for an hour before he would wake up. But for now, the couple was content in this very time and moment.

And once they got back to the Monster kingdom everything would be beyond different, but they were ready for it.

°°°°°°°°°°°

-Eight years later-

“Dad!! Dad- Dad!”

“Yes?” Geno asked, peeking out of the kitchen and to the doorway where Goth was quickly running in with excitement. He quickly scrambled up the chairs that were next to the kitchen counter. Goth smiled innocently at Geno and tapped at the counter.

Geno scoffed a laugh, knowing his son better than that, “What do you want?” He cooed slightly and turned back to the cupboard to find that hidden stash of Coffee Reaper hid for himself.

Goth huffed seeing he was caught and went straight to the point, “Okay! Okay! Palette came back today and he wanted to know if I could come over to play!” Goth said quickly, wanting to run over to Palettes already considering they were neighbors.

Geno continued to look through the cupboards, deciding to have some fun with Goth, “Hmm.” Geno hummed, continuing to look, “I dunno, did you clean your room?”

Goth fiddled with his fingers, “Um-”

“Or water the plants?”

“Well-”

“What about organize your books? Did you do that?”

“I did do that!” Goth said raising his hand like he was in class or surprised Geno would make such an accusation that he wouldn't take care of his precious storybooks.

Geno laughed and closed the top cupboards, deciding to look through the bottom ones, “Right, right, sure you did.”

“I did!!” Goth whined.

Geno snickered and looked back to Goth, “I know.” He hummed and stood up, rubbing Goth's head, “Be back by dinner.”

Goth instantly smiled and hugged Geno before quickly bolting away, “Thanks dad!!”

His escape was stopped mid way out the door from Reaper who had just returned home from work, Grabbing onto Goth who was still running mid air, “Hey, where do you think you're going?” He chuckled as he set Goth down.

“He's going to Palettes.” Geno called out from the kitchen.

Reaper made an 'ooohh’ sound and patted Goth's head, whispering a joke at him, “Got tired of your dad already?” He asked, which made Goth snort.

“I heard that!!” Geno huffed.

Reaper laughed and ushered Goth to run over to Palette's before Geno changed his mind and walked over to his husband.

“Hello love~” Reaper greeted, wrapping his arms around Geno from behind and kissing his cheek. Geno only scoffed at him and was too fixated on searching for where Reaper hid his damn coffee.

“You spoil him too much.” Reaper hummed and turned away from Geno.

“I do no-” Geno started but as soon as he turned to Reaper, he saw the bastard making himself a nice cup of coffee, making Geno glare and give him a 'What the flipping hell’ and “How???”  gesture.

“Want a cup?” Reaper asked casually, clearly holding in his laughter at Geno's expression.

“Yeah, sure.” He sighed and leaned back against the counter, crossing his arms in slightly annoyance though it quickly subsided once Reaper handed him a cup.

“So how was your day, love?” Reaper hummed and sipped his coffee carefully so he wouldn't burn himself.

Geno gave a small shrug, “Same as usual, Goth was far more energetic though.”

Reaper nodded and set the cup down on the counter, there was a small silence in the room before Reaper leaned back and spoke up, “When are we going to tell Goth?”

Geno raised an eyebrow and was about to question what Reaper ment but it clicked in his head a few seconds later, “Well, I'm not sure.” Geno said slowly, setting his cup behind him, “Knowing him he probably won't be too upset about it, but I still want him to be older for it, when he's more mature.”

Reaper nodded in a bit of agreement, both of them didn't like the idea of keeping the secret from Goth that he was adopted, but honestly, neither of them were ready to talk about it just yet to him. Though, they do know that they will, and that Goth would be ready for it.

Knowing that Geno looked out the window from the kitchen towards Palette's house where he spotted two giggling boys jumping on a trampoline. That brought a small smile to his face as he walked towards Reaper and leaned against him.

Reaper simply wrapped an arm around Geno's shoulder and smiled, “I'm still not telling you where I put the coffee.”

“Ass.”
