Acnologia was feeling a lot of things at this point, stress, exhaustion, and hunger, oh also anger, actually it was mostly anger, fuck it lets just say anger was the only emotion coursing through his veins.
"Excuse me, could you repeat that" Achnologia said in an extremely strained voice. The clearly professional man sitting at the desk in front of him cleared his throat
"I said…. that your cousins Skidarium, Wessiolgia, Igneel, Grandeeney, and your brother Metalicana left you as their children's god-father if anything were to happen to them, which has unfortunately occurred"
"So you're expecting me to take in how many brats?" Acnologia asked his voice and body trembling in barely contained rage, as his hands gripped the sides of a rather attractive leather chair.
"Well there are five children in total, four boys and one girl" the lawyer replied suddenly worried about wether or not the man was going to break his favourite chair.
"You do realise that I'm 24 years old, in college with some crappy apartment, and you want me to take care of five shitty little kids?"
"First of all Mr Achnologia we have investigated your police records, financial situation and your future living arrangements, you are well equipped to handle these five children" The man rambled
"What do ya mean, future living arrangements?" Achnologia inquired his anger turning into confusion. The lawyer smirked
"You seriously don't think they just left you with the kids?" the lawyer asked raising a brow at the disgruntled man.
"I wouldn't put it past them" The man grumbled to himself.
"Well it seems that they not only left you the kids but their shared house, inheritance and their company." Acnologia's eyes bugged comically out of his head.
"Wait so that means I'm suppose to run the dragon industries!?" he asked in shock.
"Well you are studying business, aren't you?" the lawyer inquired
"Yeah" he grumbled moodily.
"Well then I don't see the problem, you will hopefully be an excellent care-taker and we will have a person come to check on you once a week, every week for the first 6 months" Seeing no other option than to take care of the brats he hesitantly agreed
"Fine"
"Put her there than" the lawyer struck out his hand, Acnologia"s eyes skimmed over the man, his eyes landed on the name tag where 'Silver Fullbuster' was printed neatly. Acnologia brought his hand to Silvers to give a strong handshake.
"Well I'm assuming you're gonna want to meet the kids?" Silver asked
"Yeah might as well meet the twerps that'll ruin my life" Achnologia grumbled in response.
"Well go to this address" he handed the other man a slip of paper "and the children will be there waiting with the person who'll be checking on you over the duration of the six months" Silver smoothly stated. Achnologia snatched the piece of paper, looking at the address '48 Strawberry Street apartment 203'.
"It was wonderful to meet you Acnologia" Silver finished, walking out of the office leaving the strange man inside. Acnologia despite his calm composure had a million and one thoughts swirling around his head all fighting to be at the forefront of his mind. He sighed as he walked out of Silvers office in the professional firm, he thought that he should just get this over with there was no point in delaying the inevitable right?
—x—
Striding confidently along strawberry street was a tall, muscular man with darkly tanned skin, he had a shocking display of sky blue hair on his head with strange tribal tattoos along his arms, neck and face. This man was Acnologia on his way to meet his supposed 'kids' for the next however many years until they turned 18 and he could kick em' out.
'Dear God' he thought 'What if they're all little babies, shit I am not ready to deal with potentially five fucking babies'. He tried to ignore this horrific thought as he drew closer to his destination, instead he tried to think of positive thoughts 'Maybe their like 17 and I've only got one year, yeah that sounds good' he thought happily. Yet he realised that was only a pipe dream, he would've meet them if they were that old, they could only be around 8 years old at the most, that was the last time the family was together he mused bitterly.
Snapping out of his day dream he realised he had actually completely walked past the apartment he was looking for, he huffed at his own stupidity and stalked angrily back towards building 48.
Once he reached his destination he took in the appearance, four stories, made out of orange bricks giving off a warm and cosy aura despite its size, along with balconies on what appeared to be the second and fourth floors. Realising it looked a little strange he was staring at an apartment block he buzzed on the intercom that was situated on the outside of the apartment briefly glancing at the name Anna Heartfillia next to the number 408. He waited a few moments before he heard a voice
"Hello" Came a young female voice, Acnologia was shocked he didn't expected someone that sounded so young, honestly he wouldn't of been surprised if it was Porlyursica posing as a child carer and he had to rescue the poor children.
"Uh Hi, I'm here to pick up the kids, my names Achnologia" was his meek reply. Suddenly the voice became excited.
"Oh, yeah we've been expecting you, come in, to find the apartment just walk to the lift press number four and then walk to room number eight"
"Alright, yeesh woman I know how to walk and operate a lift" was his annoyed reply.
"Well sorry, for tryna help out" the women responded mumbling "Mavis some people are so ungrateful" under her breath which only aggravated the man further.
"Oi, just wait till I get up there and you can say that to my face" Achnologia growled threateningly at the intercom. Not bothering to hear what the admittedly nice sounding voice replied with, he walked through the recently unlocked entrance. Angrily stomping down the halls to the elevator and stomping around on the fourth floor till he found apartment 408 a the very end of the hall.
Knocking loudly on the door, completely ignoring the doorbell he waited for his knock to be answered, when it wasn't he knocked even louder, with much more force behind it than necessary. He then heard footsteps coming from the inside of the apartment and lets just say he wasn't prepared to meet the women on the other side of the door.
