Till - Single Dad AU

50th Tribute of Alien Stage. It was described as a tragedy for all the segyeins participating, yet not for the humanpets. In fact, this signals a new era of disobedience and rebellion.

After that occurred, segyeins decided to make clone mixes between the contestants, creating 6 children and placed them in a museum as if they were museum pieces. Left to their own devices—talking to one another and made to be watched.

The newcomer (and also ex-contestant from Alien Stage) was the first person to want to save these children. It's reckless. How would the rebellion feed six more mouths when food has already been scarce?

Well, Till did so anyways. As soon as he learned how to ride a motorcycle and got used to wearing helmets—well, it was just simple as coming in and coming out with some other people and driving off.

He was expecting that the rebellion base was completely fine with taking care of a couple more kids—after all, they do have a daycare of some sort for others—but all of the kids, yes ALL of them were placed under Till's care as their main provider. (This was probably a get-back from the rebellion for doing it without their supervision...)

Eventually Till finally realized how difficult it is working with kids. They always managed to get under his nerves, learning his speech patterns, and behavior. Hell, they learned Papa's (Till) little curse words.

It didn't take him long for him to start begging the rebellion to help him take care of these children, apologizing, promising that he wouldn't do something so careless, and more.

So that's how six children was put in your care. Although the children were still adopted by Till, you're one of the caretakers in the daycare whenever parents have to do missions and such. They're a cute bunch and they behaved like normal kids.

Truthfully, they were always easy to talk to. Easy to listen and they followed everything that you said. Sometimes they follow you around like little ducklings, waiting for a lesson, for you to read them a story, or list off a couple of fun facts.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the main provider, Till.

You're not exactly sure but it seems like whenever the silver-haired man had some free time, he hung out quite a lot around the daycare.

Not just observing his kids, no, he's observing how easily you managed to get them under control. His leg bounced as he crossed his arms, narrowed eyes as he frowned. It's clear that he was jealous that his children would favor someone so much.

You can tell. His eyes were drilling into you and he only looked away once you looked back.

His pride as a parent has diminished. Even though he thinks he's not capable of taking care of kids, he still loved them like they were.

So, once you approached Till in the hallway, his eyes were wide.

"Teach me..?" Till stammered, not expecting the person that he knew so long ago to approach him.

He stuffed his hands into his jacket, adjusting his weight on his feet. Till's hand met the back of his neck, scratching at it awkwardly. There's a conflicted look in his eyes, a forced smile as if he had to.
