Alex put his arm around Aukai.
"Don't be. We have it a shot."

Aukai nodded forlornly. She snuggling closer as he wrapped his arm around her. "Mmm… You're warm…"

"And you're hot." He grimaced to himself.
"Sorry, bad pun."

Aukai giggled and shook her head. "No, it was cute. But I'm not hot, I'm generally cool." She chuckled and turned her figure into water rather than flesh for a moment before turning back, proving her point.

Alex chuckled.
"You win, you win."

Aukai grinned and made a small flower, placing it behind his ear. "The woman is always right, didn't your mother teach you that?"

"One of the few things she did." He smiled softly, as the swing moved gently in the breeze.

Aukai lifted her feet off the ground and curled up on the bench, slipping down so her head was in Alex's lap. "What do you want to do when you graduate from high school?"

"Honestly? I'll probably just get a child care license and have a babysitting gig." He played with Aukai's hair gently.

Aukai smiled sadly. Sounded like the perfect normal life… "What about any college?"

Alex thought for a moment.
"Nah. I've never been the school type. If I ever did, though, I'd go into robotics."

Aukai nodded. "You could always do robotics as a side job. As for babysitting, what about working in a daycare?"

"Yeah, that's probably what's gonna happen," He smiled again, lovingly.

Aukai smiled then sighed and looked off into the distance sadly. "Wish I could have kids…" she mumbled.

Alex moved his hand through Aukai's hair again, resting it on her shoulder.
"Why not?"

Aukai looked at him. "I'm a goddess. If I had children, the world will fight against them. I don't want to do that to anyone."

Alex was silent for a moment, rubbing Aukai's arm.

Aukai slowly started to cry. "I've w-wanted them for y-years, but…"

Alex leaned down, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into him.

Aukai cried into his shirt softly, feeling embarrassed for admitting this. "S-sorry…"

"Don't be." He held her gently, rubbing her back.

Aukai sniffed. "It's just… embarrassing… Everyone sees me as just a teen or higher being that shouldn't really be wanting such a gown-up or mortal thing…"

Alex continued rubbing Aukai's back softly.
"I say you would make a great mom. And besides," He cupped her face with one of his hands, "What would they know about it?"

Aukai's eyes were a soft, sad, stormy blue. "Everything." she whispered.

Alex sighed, wrapping his arms around her again.
"Well, I say you would be the best mom in the world. Ever."
