 BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute Fin ran as fast as his little squirrel legs could carry him, leaping across the back of the swing seat and clinging onto the tree with his claws. The excited screams of his kids chasing after him made his heart thump faster. If he could have smiled in his animagus form, he would have been grinning like an idiot. "Daddy! Daddy!" Little Raina was struggling to keep up, only two years of age, she was not nearly as capable as her older brothers, who were already climbing the tree after him. Fin's nose twitched as he judged the jump he'd have to make to get to his daughter. It wasn't too far. Killian and Evander were almost upon him when he leapt from a branch like a rabid little beast and scurried across the grass to Raina, who giggled in delight as he climbed up her dress and sat on her shoulder. She petted his head roughly, Fin closing his eyes and making a mental note to teach her how to have gentle hands. The boys were halfway back down the tree, and after getting a kiss on the head from Raina, Fin jumped down from her shoulder and began running rings around his kids, having the time of his life. Their garden was huge so he could entertain them out there for hours, or until they were too tired to carry on. That just meant they'd sleep well tonight and he'd have some free time with Jovi. "Get him, Killi! Get him!" Fin ran faster. |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride There was a lot of yelling and a lot of laughter when Tristan stepped out into the back garden of the Burke family. He watched his eldest god son running around and around, trying to capture a disgusting rodent that could only be Fin. It always boggled Tristan's mind that Fin could be the most anally retented man in the world when it came to germs yet he was happy to turn into a gross little rodent and run around on all fours. There was no doubt in Tristan's mind that when Fin had dreams of becoming an animagus that he thought his form would be something incredible and majestic. It was hilarious to think such a large personality took the form of such a tiny creature, but it suited Fin down to the ground. Quick, cheeky, and hairy than you'd think. "Good afternoon, Burke family!" He called out, a bag of doughnuts in one hand and a bag of presents in the other. No doubt the kids were going to have a lot of fun tiring their old man out, but Trist needed to talk to him, hence the distractions he had in the bag. |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute "Uncle Stan!" All three kids ditched their dad and ran to Tristan as he entered the garden bearing gifts. Of course they picked presents over their own father. Fin was just happy that little Avery had started calling Trist 'Uncle Stan' like her brothers. Fin had taught them it on purpose. Tristan was such a cool sounding name. Stan was an uncle name. A stuffy old uncle who smelled of farts and stale beer. Trist did not smell of farts and stale beer or he wouldn't be allowed in the house, but it was fun to keep up the facade for his little angels. Fin scurried over to the swing that hung from the tree climbing onto the seat and watching on the tips of his little squirrel toes to see what Trist had brought. It smelled like doughnuts. Fin's tail twitched. Yeah, definitely doughnuts. "I want the chocolate one!" Evander was saying, nose already in the doughnut bag. Killian went straight for the other bag while Avery hugged Tristan's legs, oblivious that there was anything else to be excited about. Fin twitched his nose. He needed to work on that one. |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride The kids came running, leaving the little squirrel to play with himself. The boys went either side, one going for food, the other presents, taking the bags and riffling through, and darling little Raina hung off his leg. "Hey there, little princess." He picked her up off his leg and gave her a kiss on the cheek as she wrapped her arms around his neck, crushing his cheek bone with her forehead. "You are looking radiant, more like your mother every day, thank Merlin." When she'd been born little Raina had come out looking like the spitting image of her father, and while that was a good look for Fin, it wasn't such a great look for a little princess. Thankfully she was growing into her features and more of Jovi was coming through. Fin and Jovi were fortunate, they made spectacular kids. |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute "Hey! You take that back, she is my clone!" Fin transformed on the swing seat, swinging gently as though he hadn't just been an incredibly handsome squirrel seconds ago. His jeans and dark grey jumper were immaculate, the trainers on his feet sparkling, not a speck of mud in sight as he swung them back and forth, building up a bit of momentum. He watched Trist holding little Raina, who, if he was being completely honest, was looking more like Jovi as she got older. She'd been the image of Fin when she was born, but he supposed he had his boys. Killian especially looked a lot like him, the same sapphire eyes and dark hair. He was a good kid. Fin cocked his head. "Do I get a present too, or are you saving them for your new bride?" he called, narrowing his eyes at his best mate. "I've heard the news. You've replaced me." Fin let out a dramatic sniff. Trist had been matched. Fin had no idea who he was matched with, he didn't recognise the name, but it didn't matter. He was actually happy for Trist, he needed to settle down and have a few kids himself. Fin felt like he'd left Trist behind a bit when he'd started a family with Jovi, it would be good for him to catch up. Fin just hoped whoever Trist had been matched with, she was a decent wife. |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride Tristan smirked, Fin could disagree as much as he wanted but there was no denying it, not really. "Oh really? Maybe we'll see what Jovi says." Trist didn't mind Jovi, Fin loved her so it was enough for Trist to get on with her, but they weren't close, or at least he didn't think they were close. He honestly didn't know if Jovi had any actual friends. He and Fin were close but Jovi seemed ... well, he didn't want to think mean things about the mother of his godchildren, his wife's wife. She was a private person and Trist figured it would be hard for other women to get on with Jovi, she always seemed to dominate. Fin didn't seem like the sort that liked to be dominated but Trist was definitely stopping his thoughts right there. Trist put Raina back on the ground, popping her in front of the presents, "Here you go, darling." He said, pulling a present out of the bag and handing it to R,aina wrapped in baby pink paper with silver sparkling unicorns dancing and prancing all over the paper. Trist stood up and looked over at Fin, "Well it seems like that thing you have with Jovi is starting to get kind of serious, so it's time for me to move on." So he had seen the news, of course he had, but Trist was surprised Fin wasn't baling his eyes out. |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute Fin put a hand over his heart, visibly wounded at the thought of Tristan moving on with some random woman. "You promised me this was forever," he said, fake tears welling up in his eyes. Jovi had taught him that trick many years ago. It had been hard to master, but he was just about emotionally unstable enough to get the hang of it. "Swing with me, one last time?" He patted the swing seat next to him. It was big enough that all three of the kids could fit on it together, thick rope keeping it secured to the tree it hung from. He and Jovi would sit out there under the stars together sometimes, gently swinging and talking about their day, or their hopes and dreams, or just stroking each other's egos. The swing was an important part of the house, it was only fitting that he say goodbye to his first wife on it. |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride Tristan left the kids to explore their gifts and doughnuts. They were happy creating a mess that Fin could have fun cleaning up in his meticulous way later. Tristan made his way over to the swing and sat down beside Fin. The garden was lovely to look out over and the swing was a nice touch, although he was rather snug up against Fin, but they'd been in tighter spots than that before, "This has been a long time coming, but frankly, you've let yourself go. It's time I got a trophy wife without the start of a gut." Fin was, annoyingly, in perfect shape, even becoming a dad hadn't given him some kind of dad-bod, but Tristan was doing okay himself, but he could afford the time to hit the gym a couple of times a week to keep himself trim, keep that 'v' definition that drove women wild. |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute Trist joined him on the swing, and Fin put his arm around his best mate's shoulders. They were nice and snug, side by side, and he was about to say something sweet when Tristan told him he was letting himself go and had the start of an old man gut. Fin pursed his lips in annoyance and gave Trist a slap around the back of the head. "You son of a witch! I can't believe you're insulting me at a time like this! That's almost worse than breaking up by owl." Fin had broken up with girls by owl a few times. Even girls he was sharing a castle with. It was just easier than dealing with the tears and the begging and the guilt trips that never worked. And then he was called heartless to his face, rather than behind his back. Owls kept the mess at bay, where he could avoid it. This conversation could not take place through owls, though. "How do you know she's a trophy wife?" Fin demanded. "Have you met her? Been seeing her behind my back?" |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride "Almost, not quite." Fin was the worst at break ups. He seemed to give zero shits about his former girlfriends feelings and Trist was somewhat surprised that Jovi had lasted to the point of a proposal. Fin was a popular guy with the ladies and there was always someone in the wings waiting to take over the second he dumped a pretty girl. "I have met her. A few times. She's a healer and she comes into the apothecary from time to time." Tristan looked at the round and sighed, "There's no easy way to break this to you," He turned to look at Fin and took his hand, "She's blonde." |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute Fin felt a twinge of worry as Tristan took his hand. Something big was coming, he could sense it. His mind ran through a million different things that it could be in the two seconds it took for Trist to finally spit it out. It was far worse than anything Fin had thought of. Way, way worse. "What!?" Fin snatched his hand away and jumped up from the swing, horrified. Outraged. All three kids stopped their present opening and looked over. "Are you okay, dad?" Evander called. Fin waved a dismissive hand at them. "Take your presents inside," he ordered. The boys jumped up immediately, ushering Raina into the house without question, and Fin turned back to Tristan. "I can't believe this is happening. Is she... Is she a natural blonde?" He was inclined to hope for the best for his best friend. Maybe it was a bad dye job and could be remedied. If the rug didn't match the curtains then it wasn't as dire as it seemed. |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride Here it came. Tristan watched as Fin jumped out of the swing and sent his concerned children inside, little Raina being ushered along by her brothers who were trying their best to head inside with toys and doughnuts. "As if I can tell." Blonde was blonde. He had no idea if it was dyed or if it was natural. There were no greys that he had seen but she was nearly a decade younger than him so maybe she just didn't have any, or maybe she used dye or magic to hide them. Merlin he hoped she wasn't totally grey, that would be weird, wouldn't it? "She was also a Hufflepuff." And the blows just kept on coming. At least she wasn't a Gryffindor. |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute Trist admitted he didn't know and Fin pulled a face. "Well, you need to fuck-" he paused and glanced over his shoulder to make sure the kids were out of earshot. They were almost inside, Raina holding them up with her clumsy little legs. "You need to fuck her already and find out!" Then again, what if she had nothing down below? That wasn't a sure-fire way of finding out, unless Trist took her camping and she had to grow her leg hair out or something. Yeah, that could work. He was about to suggest it when Trist dropped another bomb on him. A Hufflepuff? "Oh, for the love of all things magical! Who did you piss off to make this happen?" Fin's mouth hung open as he stared at Trist. This just couldn't get any worse. |

with a taste of your lips i'm on a ride Considering Trist was breaking his best friend's heart, Fin was handling it all pretty well. Blow after blow after blow was coming Fin's way and he hadn't turned himself into a squirrel and scuttled off up a tree to sulk, throwing acorns at Trist. Trist recalled the last time Fin had been in a shitty mood with him and had bombarded him with acorns. For a little squirrel he had good aim and a strong throw. "Well if you'd just divorced Jovi we could have had a beautiful life together in the countryside raising the kids and avoided this whole mess." Tristan stretched his arms out to hold onto either side of the swing and started pushing himself back and forth. |

BEEN THE NUMBER ONE DIVA in this game for a minute Fin dropped his voice to a whisper and moved closer to Trist, being careful not to get kicked, he didn't need the shoe dirt on his jeans. "Oh, yeah? You try divorcing Jovian Rayne. I'd be a pile of ash on the wind and you'd be all alone, wishing you'd never given your best friend such horrible advice." Fin had no intention of divorcing Jovi. She was his for life, whether he liked it or not. And he did like it most of the time. Sure, she was difficult, but so was he. Fin could be the biggest diva in any room when the mood struck, so really it was good of her to put up with him like she did. No. They'd never divorce. Death would be the only thing to ever tear them apart. |
