Gonna be honest but I really enjoyed making this one! I'm sorry if you expected fluff or whatever, but I don't know how to place fluff in a story where it's primarily about being adopted lmaoo. Anyways this is for um...I can't tag but I sincerely hope you like it.

It was another day. Another day in this dark world. Your brother, Lancer, is still sound asleep. You look outside your window (because the king had giving you the room with the view uwu.) And you look for a good long time. Just looking. For something that didnt seem to exist. Something that's so far away. A detail. A speckle. A light. Your thoughts shift as your eyes unfocused. You then wondered aboht the time in the world. You honestly didn't know how people told the time here, how did they know when it was day or night? You didn't know, so you just assumed it was the day right now, since you saw the servants getting ready for their daily routine of looking after the castle, looking out for Lightners. You're a Lightener. You can't forget it. You can't remember it.

"Y/N? My son, you are already awoken?"

You turn toward the King, who also is your father. Well, not really, but you considered him this. One day, you had gone to your grandmother's house for the holidays and had locked yourself in her wardrobe. You had fallen to this dark world, not knowing what to do. The King however, had found you unconscious and had taken you back to the castle to take care of you.

That was five years ago.

"Yes father, I am awake." The King nods. "May I come in?" "Sure." Your father then slips in silently and slowly, then sits on your bed next to you, adjusting the blankets to make sure you're covered from the nonexistent cold. His hands were warm and caring, not wanting to scare you away. He smiles. "It seems that for once you've woken up at the right time. For years you didn't know when it was day or night and you would wake up in the most weirdest times." You smile mischievously, and he chuckles, remembering those times vividly.

"But Y/N, I believe that you know why I'm really here to talk to you this morning."

His face turns serious, but you still knew that behind his seriousness, he cared for you. He always cared for you. The whole dark world did, and sometimes without you knowing, the world revolved around you, constantly looking for your love, affection and sympathy. But that was because you were a Lightener. Thats what Lighteners do to Darkeners. Well, that's what you heard from Seam. He always told you stories about it. You don't know whether to believe him or not, but you kept going back for more stories anyway.

"Yes, Father." You nod and remember him telling you all those years ago. "I will find a way for you to return home, my child." He had promised you this, and today, he was going to let you go home. He had found out that the fountain that he had could teleport you home, and also the only way home that you had. You look down at the ground. You wanted to leave, to see your friends and family. You wanted to go to school, you wanted to breathe the fresh air, you wanted to see the blue sky and the beautiful sunshine. But...

You wanted to stay with your dad, and Lancer. All the monsters had taken care of you, had loved and cared for you. Had given you memories that you knew you could've never obtained on the surface. For the first time, you know what to do.

"Father.. "

"Have you made your desicion, my dear son?"

You hug your Father tightly, to his surprise. He smiles. He thinks that you have finally mustered up the courage to go home. To where you belon-

"I'm not leaving you or Lancer for the world."

Your words resonate in the Kings head. He couldn't believe it. He had so many questions. He had so many answers. He had so many feelings yet he only felt one thing.

Bittersweet.

END.
