Summary: Sirius, seeing that his Goddaughter's life wasn't the best, stole her away after the whole third year fiasco. They traveled together during the years that followed after getting Sirius a trial in America. When they came to Japan, the two fell in love with the country and Aria grew irritated with how the Ghouls were treated by the CCG. To help, she worked hard to create a potion that would allow Ghouls to eat normal food while also coming up with recipes that both ghouls and humans could enjoy without the potion. She had help in the form of Yoshimura and the ghouls of Anteiku. A small just for fun story because I'm a little bored and my Tokyo-Ghoul muse kicked up
Living with Itori was interesting though Aria vowed to never do so again. Hearing the moans and groans coming from the female ghoul's bedroom prompted Aria to leave the apartment. Taking out her phone, Aria called Uta. He answered after the second ring, "Aria?"
"Uta, can I come over and maybe stay the night?" Aria flushed slightly as she asked that.
Uta was silent for a few moments before saying, "Sure, but you need to explain why when you get here."
"No problem. Thank you," Aria sighed in relief and moved towards one of the deserted alleyways.
She checked around herself after putting her phone away. Once she was sure that no one was around, Aria used her transportation ability to appear in an alleyway near Uta's apartment. As she started walking, Aria was well aware of the ghoul's watching her, but ignored them. By now, everyone in the 4th ward had realized that she was under Uta's protection even if she didn't require it. Aria reached his apartment soon enough and knocked on the door. Uta opened it moments later, "That was quick."
"I used my transportation ability," Aria answered as he moved to the side.
She entered his apartment and he asked, "Coffee or water?"
"Coffee please," Aria replied and watched him go to the kitchen.
Aria removed her jacket and put it on the stand by his before kicking off her shoes beside his. She walked towards the living room and found it fairly messy. Sketchbooks, mask-making materials, mask-making tools, pencils, pens, and a whole lot of other things littered any available surface save for the couch. She took a seat and picked up one of the open sketchbooks. The design on the paper was clearly incomplete, but it was beautiful all the same. She looked up as Uta walked over carrying two cups of coffee and put down the sketchbook as he held a cup out to her. Uta looked at her curiously, "What happened?"
Aria sighed softly, "I got into a fight with Sirius. It got out of hand and I decided to stay with Itori for a few days."
"Let me guess she came home with a guy and apparently forgot you were there?" Uta asked as Aria took a sip of the coffee.
"Yeah," Aria rolled her eyes as Uta chuckled, "It isn't that funny. It was horrible to listen to,"
Uta snorted softly before asking, "What caused the argument?"
Aria flushed slightly, "I got really irritated when he kept threatening you."
Uta looked at her in surprise, "Really? I think I can handle him."
Aria shook her head, "It's not that I don't think you can. Hearing him threaten you and the thought of him driving you away like everyone else, I just couldn't stand it," Aria looked at the coffee cup in her hand, "It may seem really silly, but you're the first being around my age that I've actually really connected with since leaving England. Hell, I don't think I've ever really connected with anyone so close to my age even back then."
Uta was quiet for a few moments as Aria looked at the coffee cup in her hands. Aria wondered if she'd said something wrong before pushing that thought away. She couldn't regret saying that since it was true. When Uta finally spoke, Aria felt relieved, "I feel the same way. So what happened after that?"
Aria looked up at him and smiled slightly, "I might've said a few things before storming off to my room and calling Itori," She laughed softly, "One of them might've been about my goal of finding an apartment for myself."
Uta chuckled, "What are you going to tell him when you see him again?"
"That I fully plan to find myself an apartment and explain my reasons in a much more calm way," Aria leaned back into the couch, "To be honest, I think I scared a bunch of the house elves when things started catching fire and exploding,"
Uta looked at her in interest, "So things tend to explode when you get angry?"
"Or catch fire," Aria sipped at her coffee, "That was one of the things that my elemental tutors couldn't stop from happening, they tried," Aria smiled as she thought of those days and giggled softly, "Oh how they tried, I swear they tried over a thousand methods to stop it. I remember one time they tried having me meditate on a lake with the threat that if I failed, I'd be dumped into the water. I lit a lot of things on fire and ended up falling into the lake. I caught a cold, but didn't drown since I managed to silently cast a bubble head charm,"
Uta snickered beside her, "Somehow, I can imagine you doing that."
"I've also proven that no matter how damp or fire proof you can make a material, I can and will light it on fire if I'm pissed off enough," Aria was more than a little smug about that part, "The younger fire elementals used to look up to me and beg me to teach them. Of course, they only begged me to teach them after getting me to burn a lot of stuff," Aria smiled lightly before remember what he'd said yesterday, "Did I take you away from making your masks?"
Uta shook his head, "No, I was taking some time tonight to relax since I pulled an all-nighter yesterday to get a majority of them made."
Aria sighed in relief, "I'm glad since I'd feel bad for preventing you from making your masks."
Uta smiled lightly before asking, "So what kind of antics did you get up to while training your elemental abilities?"
"Well..." Aria grinned brightly.
Uta looked down at Aria when he felt her head settle heavily against his shoulder. He smiled when he realized she'd passed out. Yawning softly, Uta checked the time and wasn't surprised to find it was nearing three in the morning. He picked her up and walked towards his room. He pulled back the covers and placed her down. He changed into his night clothes before moving to join her. Before he could, Uta heard her phone go off. Inwardly sighing, Uta headed back into the living room and picked up her phone. He saw that it was Sirius calling. He contemplated ignoring the call since the man had managed to piss off Aria before deciding that Sirius was probably worried about her. Answering the phone, Uta didn't get a chance to speak as Sirius immediately began speak, "Pup, I'm so sorry."
Uta listened for a while before the man finally stopped speaking, "Sirius."
"Uta," Sirius' voice was filled with venom, "Where is my goddaughter?"
"Sleeping," Uta knew that Sirius' mind was probably conjuring up images that the dog animagus didn't want to see.
"I'm going to ki-" Sirius began only for Uta to cut him off.
While Uta would have normally listened to the man's threats due to the amusement he'd feel, Uta honestly didn't feel like it tonight. He was tired, Aria was sleeping in his bed, and he honestly slept better when he was with Aria. Uta spoke in a calm town, "I do not have time for this as I've got a warm bed waiting for me. Aria will come back when she pleases. If she doesn't, you can only blame yourself. Good night and good luck."
With that, Uta ended the conversation and shut off Aria's phone. He texted Itori that Aria was staying the night with him before shutting his phone off as well. He headed to bed. Aria stirred for a few moments, "Uta?"
"Go back to sleep, Aria," Uta wrapped his arms around her and pulled Aria to his chest, "It was nothing,"
"M'kay," Aria nuzzled into his neck and murmured, "Thank you,"
Uta wondered if she'd heard the phone conversation before shrugging it off. He had more important things like sleeping to worry about. Covering them both with the blanket, Uta breathed in her comforting scent and inwardly sighed feeling content.
A bit fluffy, but that's the direction my mind wanted to go in.
