We need to talk... [Mizetto]

There was no reason Mizetto could think of for everyone, including the twins to be heading out other than to give the Demon a break. That's how Mizetto saw it in his head. Just the house to himself and the old man how'd probably needed to do some work or something instead of going for a trip along with the others. Mizetto was already laying across the couch, arm over his eyes to try and nap. But there was a soft thud of footsteps getting closer, and Mizetto groaned quietly to himself when he heard Takeo sit down. Pulling himself up, the Demon watched Takeo with a confused expression. So, was the removal of Ari, the twins and Okashi and Clue not just about giving Zetto time to nap, but about giving Takeo the chance to what? Kill Mizetto? It sure looked that way as Takeo stared down the Demon, and perhaps Takeo wanted to finally kill Mizetto like he'd threatened to do after learning about Mizetto and Ari all that time ago. Mizetto yawned, "What yah starin' for old man?" He grumbled, before Takeo answered with a threatening tone. Mizetto's eyes woke up a bit more, his hands raised. "Ok, Ok... I won't." Mizetto answered, confused as to why Takeo thought Mizetto would try and get out of a conversation. Though thinking about it, Mizetto did do that a lot. Be it about chores or something else that made Mizetto uncomfortable. "What was it yah wanted to talk 'bout?"

Mizetto's confused face went a bit agitated. Takeo still treated him like a kid sometimes. Whilst Mizetto could understand that sometimes he was just as immature as he was at ten years old, he didn't appreciated it as much at twenty seven. Huffing, the Demon folding his hands over his chest. "I ain't gonna run, alright?" The Demon repeated, loud and clear for the old man to hear properly. Mizetto frowned over what kind of future Takeo meant. They were already raising kids together, Mizetto assumed their future lead down one particular path now, looking after Terra and Glacie, and it didn't sound half bad. So Zetto didn't know what else the old man meant.
That was until he made it a little more obvious. Mizetto's frown dropped, replaced with a slightly reddened face on the Demon. He sighed, rubbing his neck a little. "I suppose... I mean, of course I am." Mizetto didn't need to hesitate on how much he cared for Ari. His future was by her side anyway, and the Demon didn't see any reason why they shouldn't remain together forever. But, "I dunno. I thought about it, 'specially after you and Okashi. But I guess I didn't even know if there was any point. We already have two kids, and does Ari even want that anyway?"

Mizetto understood what sharing a ring meant, what Takeo and Okashi had. And he'd willingly have that with Ari, if she wanted it. But he'd never considered it as a necessity. Marriage was a way for two people to promise and hold and bond to one another. And Mizetto saw it as thought he and Ari already had that bond, named Glacie and Terra. And he didn't need a ceremony or a ring to prove to Ari that he'd be by her side forever, he'd prove it by doing it. But Mizetto nodded to Takeo's point. Perhaps it was a title thing. If that was the case, then maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea. Then the Demon sighed. He'd never mentioned marriage to Ari before. And to be honest, Mizetto wasn't sure why he hadn't, other than his reason for nothing seeing it as a necessity. Mizetto leaned back on the sofa. "Well Demons aren't know for marriages. Hell, before I knew you guys, I'd never even understood it. And back before the girls were born, I'd never considered it... or maybe didn't wanna consider it." Mizetto would never say he'd been too nervous to ask, because the day Mizetto said out loud that he was afraid of something, was the day the Demon would meet his grave.
