A few weeks later...

Rin's P.O.V.

I was sitting on the couch and reading a book when there was a knock at the door. I know who it is by know.

"Door's open!" I said before Yukio walked in. "Nice to see you again." I said as I closed the book I had. And set it on the arm of the couch.

"You too, four-eyes." He teased. I was wearing the glasses I got two weeks ago. They were light grey and wired.

"Hey! They're just reading glasses." I said as I took them off and put them on my book. And he sat next to me on the couch.

"I'm just getting pay back for all the times you called me four-eyed mole face."

"It was funny at the time, alright? I was a teenager. What did you expect from me?"

"I don't know really. How have you been?"

"Good."

"Sleeping?"

"Yes."

"Eating?"

"Yes, mom. I'm 42 and you're treating me like a little kid."

"Because you don't take that good of care of yourself. I'm just reminding and checking on you." He said. Then we stayed in silence for a little bit. I let out sigh after a few minutes. And I had a sad look on my face, Yukio noticed.

"Something on your mind?" He asked.

"It's nothing." I replied.

"I know that tone of voice, Rin. You can tell me anything, you know. I'm here for you."

"It's just that I'm at the age that I should be married and have a kid or two. But instead I buried myself in work and missed out on things like that."

"Okay, but it's not that late. You can still get married. And sure you're in your 40's, but you're still young enough to. When it comes to kids, you could probably adopt a little toddler. Because I'm pretty sure the Knights of the true cross don't want a Satan blood line."

"That's the thing. I want a kid more then anything. I want some the experiences dad had with us, but I'm always busy. I don't have the time to take care of a little person. And I could rise them wrong."

"Is that why I saw you smile after a little girl held your hand and thought you were her dad, before she realized you weren't. And found her actual dad. Teaching Yukine things like cooking. And training Hiyoir to become an exorcist after she asked you."

"I guess."

"Is there anything else on your mind?"

"Just that when I die, what's going to happen to you? Because I know you're going to out live me, you being a regala and everything."

"Rin, please don't get me thinking about that."

"I know you don't want to think about that, I don't either. But there are things that can't be controlled."

"But still...."

"It's okay, I still have a lot of years in me." I said before taking him in a hug. He wrapped a arm around me and laid his head where he could hear my heartbeat. I nuzzled my nose into his hair. And we just stayed like that for awhile.
