Ike sighed as he sat down on his plane seat, his eyes trailing to the window, staring at the many lined up planes, all either waiting for their passengers or getting ready for departure. He smiled softly as he opened his phone and decided to send a tweet on twitter.
Heading home todayyy
The sudden influx of “safe travels'' and excited messages from his beloved quilldren began to flood the replies of his tweet. It was a well deserved break. He can’t wait to get home and be with his family again.
He made sure to turn off his data, turned on airplane mode and slipped on his headphones. It’ll be a long flight after all, it’s best that he gets some sleep.
Ike arrived safely back home, bags in hand while walking out to the taxi line. A sigh escaped his lips, still a bit tired from the long trip. He longs for the warm blankets of his bed, his pokemon plushies all waiting for him back home, and the boys.
He smiled at the thought of hearing all the shenanigans they’ve committed while he’s gone. The loud screams of Mysta, the contagious laugh of Luca, the eyyys of Shu, and all the funny comments of Vox. He just missed being around the boys.
The moment he got onto the taxi he called over, the more excited he felt despite the fatigue. He decided to not text the others and make his arrival a surprise.
The novelist stopped in front of the entrance of Luxiem’s shared house. He grabbed his pouch and tried to fish out his house keys, suddenly, the door swung open and Ike was met with a tight embrace.
He stumbled, but managed to regain his balance as he looked over who the person was.
“Hey, Vox.” Ike chuckles and wraps his arms around the other’s torso, sharing a warm embrace with him.
“Welcome home, Ike.”
“Tadaima~” The novelist pats his head and peers from the open door, seeing the other boys shuffle down the stairs. All beaming with energy.
“IKE!” They all shouted in unison before joining the hug. It caused Ike to let out a squeak in surprise, making sure all of them wouldn't fall on the concrete floor. How the hell did they know he’s here already?
“We were waiting for you the moment you tweeted it out.” Vox spoke up as if hearing Ike’s question, lifting his head to look at him, golden orbs meeting emeralds.
The novelist let out a soft laugh and planted a kiss on the demon’s forehead before going around and doing the same for the others. A warm smile present on his lips.
“I’m home.”
