In a manner of speaking.
“Umm. Wanda?”
“Yes Ranma?” She couldn’t help but smile. He was just so cute when he was nervous and she was finding herself feeling more comfortable being in his arms and having him in her by the second.
“How did we end up like this?”
“I’m not sure. I figured dad wouldn’t need his bed so I was going to use it, since mine was open to the elements after they tore the door off my room.”
The pause lasted several seconds.
“Dad?” Ranma could tell he wasn’t going to like the answer. Few things dealing with anyone’s parents had ever been good in his experience.
“Unfortunately my Dad is Magneto.”
“Oh” His voice was strangely flat.
“Are you going to hate me because of my father?”
Ranma winced at her tone. It spoke of pain and alienation that he was well acquainted with. He stroked her back reassuringly.
“I’d never hold who your parents are against you. It’s your actions that matter, not your pop’s. Just remember to give me the same break if you ever meet mine.”
She felt like a great weight had been lifted off her chest. He didn’t care who her father was. He didn’t hold her responsible for what her idiot father had done to him. He was also massaging her back in a way that felt simply divine.
“Thank you.” Her arms tightened around him as he kissed her forehead.
“There’s nothing to thank me for. Only an idiot would hold someone responsible for something they didn’t do.” He brushed her hair back from her ears and put her new earrings in.
Wiping the nascent tears from the corners of her eyes he remarked “There we go. A beautiful gift for a beautiful girl.”
She simply closed her eyes and sighed cuddling, into his chest.
“So why exactly did you wake me?”
“Umm.”
