The "Adopted" Sibling or Child Meme


They say blood is thicker than water. Family is everything. But what about the family you choose, the ones that aren't necessarily bound to you by shared blood? Sometimes, they can be closer than anyone you're just related to through chance. You chose them, after all!

This person in particular is someone you're closer to than almost anyone; it's more than friendship, it's darn near familiar. No, more than darn near, it is familial. They may be younger than you, maybe even by a considerable margin, but they may not be. They could just seem that way, in their innocence or vulnerability. You want to protect them more than anything, keep them close, and spend time with them so their life can be improved by whatever you can do.

Officially or unofficially, you've adopted them as your own. Your family, with you as an older sibling or parent figure. This could make things better for them...or worse.

❤ Comment with your character info and the ilk. Be sure to include whether or not your character is more likely to be the adopter or the adoptee. Or both, I don't mind. No judgement here.
❤ Reply to others.
❤ Cute familial fluff, even for the darkest of characters and canons. If Murder: The Anime can do it, so can you!

Great! We'll just pick them up along the way then. [ And because Haruki knows that this is the very big hint that says "come shopping with me and hold my shit" ]

What were you planning on gettin'?

[shiseido]

Not much. Some new nail polish, clothes, maybe a new jacket or two... ♥

[jfc Isuke learn to share!!]

[setmefree]

[ ... ]

Where are we gonna even store it all?

[ do you remember where you live, isuke ]

[shiseido]

Put some of your older clothes under the bed to make space~

[selfish.....!]

[setmefree]

You'd think I would have done it already if it weren't for the fact everyone's stuff is down there too.

[ what a princess ..... ]

[shiseido]

You can find a way to make room, can't you? Push some things over. ♥ Or throw things out.

[setmefree]

We've already sold and donated as much as we can, you know...

At this rate, we're gonna be living here with barely any room to breathe with how much you shop.

[shiseido]

We need a new house!

[a new everything tbh.]

I don't like living like this. ♥

[setmefree]

I'd buy us one if I could.

[ Isuke-sama... ]

Saving's a little harder than it looks.

[shiseido]

[huff.] I need more work. ♥ The jobs pay well but there isn't enough.

[killing. of course.]

[setmefree]

... Right.

[ It's been a while since Haruki's made her last kill. She's been focusing on regular people jobs for a little while. ]

Hey. [ looks like she has something to say. It definitely looks like it. ]

[shiseido]

[honestly, Isuke prefers assassinating even if Haruki doesn't approve. it's fast, easy for Isuke, and there's a lot of cash involved.

and that's all that matters, isn't it? having enough money for the family.]

Don't bother lecturing me, because Isuke isn't going to listen. ♥

[setmefree]

M'not lecturing you. [ Of course she thinks it's about her. Well, given the topic at hand, it's not wrong to assume Haruki would've tried to talk her out of assassinations. ]

Think I'll stop. [ Killing for a living. ] Focus on a concrete job and earn the money that way.

[shiseido]

[she can't say she's surprised tbh. actually, Isuke had been expecting Haruki to retire sooner.]

Fine, do what you want. But I'm not quitting.

[not because she likes it. it's just a lot of money.]

[setmefree]

Hah. It still feels weird that there's someone else making money here.

[ Though Isuke's methods have more impact on their financial situation than some random job Haruki can get, it's still a little skeevy to her.

Not that she can say anything. She's been an assassin too. ]

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

[shiseido]

I don't need your thanks, so keep them. ♥

[hmph!! it's not like she's doing it for the family or anything u baka]
