The bus stopped. I hugged Aloisia one last time before they walked home. Then, I walked to mine, just a few blocks away. I walked quickly, because I knew Papa must've cooked something nice. Even if he didn't, well, we could just eat instant noodles.
House no. 182. I knocked the door. Pops opened the door.
"How's the date, Tori?"
"Amazing!"
He patted my head. "Tell us more after you change your clothes, okay?"
I nodded. "Sure!"
After I changed into my PJs, I walked to the kitchen. "What's for dinner?"
"Hmm.. it's been a while since we ate instant noodles, right?" Pops asked, glancing at Papa.
"Instant noodles doesn't have that many nutrition, you know?" Papa asked back. But, he ended up grabbing a spicy cheese noodle. "This is the last one, too bad.." He smirked at Pops.
"I'll let you have it," Pops responded, picking a curry flavoured one. Papa pinched Pops' cheek softly (ugh they flirt like clingy teens). I grabbed the original fried noodle (fried here means that it has no broth, FYI) and we cooked it. After a few minutes, I mixed my noodles with the premade seasoning and fried onion.
I was going to walk to the living room and eat there with Pops (A/N: as a +62 citizen, this is actually how my family eats, even tho we have a dining table), but Papa patted my back. "Have some rice with it, kiddo. Noodles isn't really filling."
"Yes, Papa." The three of us sat down on the carpet of the living room. We ate.
"So, how's the date?"
"There's this new exhibit at the museum about same-sex relationships. They finally acknowledged that couple."
"I knew he's more than his confidant."
I smiled. "Also, dads, I.. I just had my first kiss with Aloisia."
"YOU WHAT?"
I nodded enthusiastically. Papa hugged me. Pops congratulated me. Then, Papa let go and looked at me.
"You should tell your mom after we finish!"
So, we finished our dinner, and then we came back to the living room. I brought my phone, turned it on, and video called Mama.
"Ah, Tori! Hello! And hello too, Victor and Robert!"
"Hi, Mama."
"How are you?"
"Good. Anyway, Mama, I wanna tell you something.."
She looked at me curiously. "What is it?"
"Mama, I just had my first kiss with my sweetheart."
She did the (:0) face. "Aww, congrats!" Then we talked more. Mama hanged up first. Me and my dads brushed our teeth and went to bed. Before I closed my eyes, I looked at a picture of me and Aloisia.
Today was a very nice day.

people are playing games of telephone with information about palestine and sometimes it's harmless and sometimes it's not.
no. all of the hospitals in gaza have NOT been destroyed. all of them have been ATTACKED, none of htem are fully functioning anymore, but, NO, they are not all fully destroyed.
tweets by palestinians mourning the safety of the last FULLY FUNCTIONING hospital have been misconstrued as "no hospitals are left" and that misunderstanding leads to a sense of hopelessness that can translate into less medical aid going through to the hospitals that remain--damaged, attacked, more vulnerable than ever before but still standing.
israel has destroyed a large amount of the FUNCTIONALITY of all 36 hospitals but doctors are still doing their best within many of them. and need aid, calls for support, power.
i am once again on my KNEES begging y'all to not just spread one sentence tweets about the state of gaza from people who are... not in gaza. i am asking you to do more work to verify the information you spread.
I hate when people don't know that Hector 100% knew exactly who he was killing when he killed Patroclus.
“I saw then how I had changed. I did not mind anymore that I lost when we raced and I lost when we swam out to the rocks and I lost when we tossed spears or skipped stones. For who can be ashamed to lose to such beauty?”

Can we talk about THE GUITAR PIECES OF PAGANINI. Jisus, I can’t stop feeling like they’re so underrated, I mean- Listen, I’’m never romantic about music because of personal stuff, but damn… ‘Romanza’. ROMANZA. I feel like seeing a yard of just herb and butterflies flying around. It’s beautiful. And ‘Grand Sonata’ feels pretty nostalgic (maybe because my country took it to make a kids melody…. yikes). It’s just a safe comfort place when I listen to it. And not gonna imagine how GOOD could be the guitar piece he dedicated to Germi…
I woke up. It seems like there's been a heavy rain last night. Raindrops were still visible on my window. I went out to check if any of my flowers were affected. Thankfully, they're quite alright.
"Meow!"
I searched for the source of the sound. A cat was hiding in a bush. I picked him up.
He's not hurt, but his white and black fur was wet. I took him in and dried his fur. I noticed something: his toe beans are pink in one paw and black on the other.
"Aloisia, what are you doing?" Mum suddenly appeared behind me. She saw the cat. "Oh, how cute! Too bad I'm allergic to cat fur, so he can't stay here.."
"Mum, I found him in a bush in the garden. He was hiding from the storm. I don't want him to get affected by the storm again..."
Mum sighed. "Fine, you can keep him. Just.. make sure there's no furs and you don't bring him near me, okay?"
I smiled. "Okay!" I carried the cat to my room. He laid down. "What should I call you, kitty?" He then stretched, showing his toe beans again.
I nodded. "I guess I'll call you Beans."
