I’ve read this to many damn times. Y’all I’m a mother! No drama!!!

In which (Y/n) is visiting NRC to visit her boys, whom she helped raise alongside Lilia. She hasn't seen her family in years, but she's ecstatic to do so now.

As the four Diasomnia students excitedly wait for her arrival, Lilia tells his boys tales of how he met their mother.

Request by anon.

"Mom is coming over, old man."

Lilia immediately perked up at the mentioning of his significant other he and his boys hadn't seen ever since entering NRC a few years ago. A few squeals escaped his lips as he skipped over to the second-year and immediately tugged at his arm playfully, his feet impatiently tapping against the floor.

"Really?!" Lilia cried out happily, much to Silver's amusement. A smile appeared on the boy's face as he peered down at his father, who did his best to calm down from his excitement again. Coughing into his fist playfully, Lilia grinned cheekily. "I mean— of course! I knew she would come to see us!"

Malleus and Sebek looked surprised at Silver's announcement, too.

"Really? (Y/n) is coming?" Malleus asked, ecstatic as well. It had been so long ever since he had seen the woman who had raised him alongside Lilia, the one who had laughed at Lilia when his bangs got burnt and the one who always comforted Malleus on his lonely birthdays. The smile that appeared on his face was large and bright, so much that it temporarily stunned Sebek.

"Yes," Silver confirmed, smiling, "she said she wanted to attend your birthday, Malleus."

Surprised gasps escaped Malleus throat, and he immediately gained an aura comparable to an innocently excited child. Clasping his hands together, he repeated, "She... She would do that?" Silver nodded, causing the dragon fae to almost faint from happiness. Yet, there was something that held him back from doing so. "I thought she was busy rebuilding after the war?"

Silver shrugged, not possessing an answer to their steady stream of questions since you had barely told him anything aside from the fact that you would arrive sometime today. "She mentioned something of an exception," he explained, satisfying Malleus' curiosity enough for now.

Sebek threw his hands into the air, a big grin on his lips. "This will be a splendid opportunity to spar with (Y/n)!" he exclaimed with a determined expression decorating his face. "I'm sure I can beat her this time around!"

Silver's lips contorted into an amused smile. "Sure... Sure..." he muttered, yawning his soul out. "Keep on telling yourself that, Sebek."

"Hush, Silver. Don't be so mean to Sebek!" Lilia chided playfully, albeit with a mischievous glint in his red eyes. Turning to Sebek, he floated up and put a hand onto his shoulder. "Of course you can easily defeat an esteemed and infamous general of the Valley of Thorns, my boy!"

Sebek huffed and puffed. "You're all mean..."

Malleus quickly nudged a sulking Sebek aside, so that he could face Lilia. "Can you tell us some fun stories about her?" he asked, a fond shimmer in his eyes.

"Of course I can tell you stories about how I met your mother!" Lilia replied immediately, as cheerful and energetic as ever. He quickly led them over to the couch in the common room and sat them all around him, so that they surrounded him in a lose circle — Silver napping away on his left, Malleus intently listening on his right, and Sebek sharpening his sword in front of him on the floor.

Silver tried to keep his heavy eyelids open, not wanting to miss such an interesting conversation. His mother had always been very mysterious, even more so than his father — so he could never get enough of Lilia's tales about you. Yawning, he started off with, "How did you meet exactly?"

A fond smile immediately appeared on the bat fae's lips. Planting his chin in his palms, he breathed out audibly. "We were in the army together," he muttered, a nostalgic glimmer in his glowing eyes. "We had our beginnings as recruits together and actually served together for a long while. Eventually, we went our own ways... but we did meet each other again when the queen called her inner circle together for advice a long time ago."

"You're so different from Mom," Silver commented, curious like a child. "Did your personalities never clash?"

Soft chuckles escaped Lilia's lips, and he immediately nodded upon registering his adoptive son's question. "Well, she's always been softer around children." His eyes turned to the three boys he, some more than others, had helped raise and shape into the people they were today; pride filled his chest, and he wished you could see them, too. "All three of you included, even Sebek."

"Hey!" Sebek protested while narrowing his eyes and finally setting aside his baton to pay full attention to Lilia's tailes. "Singling me out like that!"

Lilia laughed at the knight's reaction before he returned ro the topic at hand again. He turned to the boy on his left, quickly extending a hand to ruffle his ragged hair. Silver let out an irritated gasp, having been on the brink of falling asleep. "She really really adored Silver," Lilia exclaimed, smiling when Silver immediately brightened up in happiness. Yet, Lilia quickly turned his attention to the other two again. "Not that we ever had any favourites, though!"

Malleus' bottom lip quivered as he whispered, "I thought I was her favourite..."

"L-Let's continue!" Lillia quickly cut in while having an arm slung around Malleus' shoulder, a sheepish smile on the bat fae's lips. With the other hand, he tapped his finger against his chin, deep in thought about what to tell his boys next. "So, she's quite infamous for being very strict, demanding, and hard to approach."

"So the exact opposite of you," Sebek remarked, humming.

"Exactly!" Lilia chimed, giggling at memories of you chiding him for always being so carefree and careless. You never seemed to understand that there was another approach to enduring millennia of loss and pain; Lilia and you were just on the other end of the spectrum. Lilia sighed, a smile on his lips. "We've always been a strange pair of two faes. She always acts like she hates me, but you all know how that isn't true~"

Malleus nodded, laughing softly upon remembering all the times he had seen you bicker and even seriously fight sometimes; but in the end, you and Lilia always stuck together like a perfect team. "Now that you say it..." he trailed off, chuckling when Lilia punched his shoulder.

Speaking of Malleus, a particular tale immediately appeared in Lilia's mind. "We really bonded over raising Malleus," he explained while laughing happily. "She immediately volunteered when the queen went through her inner circle to search for a guardian for her grandchild. (Y/n) has always loved children despite her stern nature."

Sebek pursed his lips, teasingly asking, "And you just barged in and demanded to take care of the young master together?"

"Exactly!" Lilia chirped while his chest rumbled with all the laughter that spewed from his lips. Clasping his hands together, a long sigh escaped his lips. "I said that Malleus needed a father, too. So that's how I met your mother!"

Silver rubbed his eyes and sighed. "I wonder if she's alright... I miss her, truth be told..."

"Yes," Malleus agreed, nodding with dim eyes, "it's been years since I last saw her."

"It's been years since I last could ask her for training advice!" Sebek chimed in.

Silence overtook the common room that was completely empty aside from the four students, and they all used it to just sit there and think of memories of and with you. Lilia especially had a melancholic expression on his face, quite rare for an energetic being as him.

Yet, their sulking was interrupted when they noticed someone coming through the mirror nearby. At first, they didn't mind the new arrival, thinking it was just a student coming from campus grounds — but when someone suddenly appeared in the door frame and remained there, they looked up to find a fellow fae standing there.

"I'm here now," you said, a rare smile on your lips. "Did my boys miss me?"

"(Y/n)!" they all yelled out at the same time, all of them jumping up and storming towards you like they hadn't seen you in a lifetime. You were immediately swarmed, four pairs of arms wrapping around your smaller form.

A little chuckle escaped your lips when they finally pulled away from you again. "I apologise," you said curtly and bowed slightly. "I got lost, and a kind human with a vicious kitten helped me out."

Silver's bottom lip was quivering as he jumped at you again, his arms wrapped around you so tightly as if he was afraid you would leave them for years again. "Mom, I missed you..." he whispered, and you only silently patted his back, a smile forming on your stoic lips, as well.

"Aw, my precious Silver..." you cooed, that cold facade immediately breaking down. Without hesitating, you wrapped your arms around the teen; he had grown so tall over the years you hadn't seen him. "Come here! Say, has your sleepiness been getting better?"

When he retreated again, you were still fussing all over him. "No... not at all..." he replied quietly, his cheeks red when you straightened his slightly wrinkled uniform — it was wrinkled because he had fallen asleep in it this noon. This motherly and warm side of you was only reserved for your boys — no one else ever got to see you like this.

"Don't worry," you muttered warmly. "I picked up some herbs that some merchants gave me on my way here. I'll mix you up some herbal tea, alright?" Silver immediately nodded, quite eager to take you up on your offer.

"Thank the Great Seven that you're here to cook for us," Malleus mused as you went up to him and forced him to bent down down to press a little kiss to his forehead — like you had done when he was younger. He watched you with relieved eyes. "I've been missing your food."

You immediately stopped with giving Sebek a hard pat on the shoulder upon hearing Malleus' words.

"Has Lilia not been feeding you properly?" you asked while narrowing your eyes at your significant other.

Lilia looked confused, and he merely exclaimed, "They love my food!"

"Sure..." you muttered, suspicious with how dreadful your boys' eyes looked. So, letting them lead you to the Diasomnia kitchen, you decided that you'd cook as much as you could during your stay. You turned around to face an innocently grinning Lilia, and you merely clicked your tongue with a little grin on your lips, as well. "I don't know how you three survived the last years, really."
