Legacies drops tomorrow and I won't see it until Monday at least *sobs dramatically* so uh, no spoilers.

"Is this a date?" Wasabi asked, as he shoveled fried rice from a white paper container into his mouth and he and Leiko sat in the parking lot of a hole in the wall Chinese place. He was wearing jeans and a sweater that he was pretty sure he'd had since college.

GoGo didn't look that much more pulled together, with a leather jacket pulled over a pretty plain tank top that she'd gotten from a fundraiser for Hiro's business, the Tadashi Hamada Care-For-All Clinic. The tank top was plain gray and had "Vaccinate Your Kids" scrawled across the chest. She was also wearing black jeans, as well as a pair of beat-up sneakers that she would have used for gardening… If she ever finally started gardening.

"Of course this is a date, let's go through the checklist again. We're eating dinner without our kids, said kids are being watched by someone else, and Khary doesn't even expect us back until like, ten. Which means we have more than enough time to make this a date, Wasabi."

"Yeah but all we're doing is eating food and going to a few open houses."

"That's probably not all we're doing, but it doesn't really matter, does it? As long as we're together, I'm happy." GoGo yawned. They'd both been up late working on projects for work, as well as continuing to dig into the past, present, and future of Andrew Burks. Scout was at their house right now with the twins, supposedly having a movie marathon of the Toy Story franchise.

"You're being so cheesy, you must be tired. Let's get going. We need to get to the first open house."

"Okay. Do you think we'll find the one today?" GoGo asked, taking his to-go box while he began to drive.

"Maybe. Some of the ones we're visiting seem pretty good already. Close to their school and our work, will hardly take them out of the neighborhood for when they want to have friends over. Maybe the first one will be perfect."

"We should still scope out the other options though. I know you want things to be in order."

"Well yeah, this is our first house since Berkeley. And I know Berkeley wasn't that long ago but like… That was where our kids grew up. And I think Reese has finally gotten over not living there anymore but I just… I want this new place to feel like home."

"Wasabi… They're already home. We're each other's home, I thought you knew that already, the way you talk sometimes. If we lived in that little apartment forever we'd still be home. The only thing that needs to be perfect for me is that we're together. Everything else is just a bonus."

"You're right… Let's go see this first house." They toured a few houses, taking notes and talking with their real estate agent, trying to find out what was right for them. Even though they were enjoying their night without children Reese and Luca were still on their minds.

"Has to have a garage so we can set up a basketball goal in the driveway for Reese… Preferably four bedrooms, one per kid plus guestroom…" Wasabi muttered as they drove to the next house.

"A decent backyard would be nice. We could have people over for barbecues in the summer."

"Totally. And we have to have the open kitchen we have in the apartment or what's the point?"

"Oh, yeah. With as much as we cook. And Reese and Luca sit at the kitchen island more than they sit at the kitchen table, so we should make sure they still have that space," GoGo added.

"Of course, when we get Reese and Luca their own spaces we'll have to furnish them…"

"Ikea. Ikea everything. If we find a new place by Christmas, they get Ikea shopping trips as their presents."

"That's a great idea, GoGo. And we'll have to furnish the guest bedroom."

"Yeah. We might just let Khary handle that," she chuckled.

"I don't know, I really think he's moving out soon. He told me the other night that he's looking into a new place and already has a roommate."

"Oh, good for him."

"Don't worry, he'll still babysit for us," Wasabi promised, kissing his wife after they pulled up to the next house.

"I wasn't worried. Our kids are teenagers now, and Scout's 14. We could have left them alone."

"Don't remind me, they're so old…" Wasabi groaned.

"Our babies can't stay babies forever," GoGo reminded.

"They can be babies on my phone screen," Wasabi pointed out. His lock screen was of two-year-old Reese and Luca, standing with their arms around each other. It was a cute picture that their twins have since refused to recreate without fighting. Posed pictures were… Infrequent.

"One day, even that is going to change," GoGo told him, patting his shoulder. Wasabi sulked.

"Let's not think about them. Let's just go tour this last house, making sure it has everything we need… For them." GoGo laughed a little and kissed his cheek. He kissed her back on the lips.

"If we get this one over fast we should have like two hours left before we're supposed to be back," Wasabi commented.

"Yep," she agreed and they went to see the last house.

"Four is better than one," Luca was deep in the middle of an argument about Toy Story with his friend when Wasabi and GoGo got back from their date at 9:30.

"One started it all."

"Which is why it's not as good as the others. The correct ranking should be 2, 3, 4, 1."

"The correct ranking is 3, 2, 1, 4." Scout insisted.

"You're both wrong," Reese mumbled from the couch, mostly asleep, head down amongst the cushions, "5, 6, 7, 8." The boys elected to ignore her addition since the quadrilogy had ended as a quadrilogy a long time ago.

"You can't just say one is not as good as the others. The first airplane was revolutionary-"

"And so was Toy Story, but it's the worst movie in the franchise."

"Second worst movie."

"And you like three better than 2? Your opinions are kind of trash, sorry."

"You're both trash," Reese mumbled tiredly.

"Agree to disagree," Scout suggested.

"Yeah okay."

"You ready to leave, Scout?" Wasabi asked.

"Yes sir, thank you." Scout got up and gathered his homework from the floor and from under Reese's arm.

"Thank you for watching us, sir," he called out to Khary, who was working on something on his phone at the kitchen table. As Wasabi and Scout left, GoGo carried her oldest to bed, Luca trailing after, and then went to sit by her brother-in-law.

"How were they?"

"Mostly good. I know Scout is one of Luca's best friends but he was kind of bugging me about finding his brother, what's his name?"

"Andrew. And you know he's just worried. I'm sure you'd be worried about Wasabi or Damon if they were missing. Don't hold it against him."

"Yeah, I just… I can't help him."

"Don't feel too bad, Khary. You're doing your best. Just be careful."

"I will. I'm going out for a bit. Have to meet the guy I might be rooming with soon. Bye GoGo, love you. Tell Wasabi I love him too."

"Alright. Love you too, Khary. Be safe." GoGo went to check that her kids were actually going to bed, but the conversation still stuck in her head. Wasabi and GoGo were never shy with saying that they loved their kids, and Khary wasn't shy saying he loved Reese, Luca, Beckett, and Wyatt. But the Ginger brothers didn't often say that they loved each other. They said it in other ways. They said I'm proud of you. They said, be careful. They said, I'll help you. But they didn't often say, I love you.

So GoGo couldn't help wondering what Khary was up to that had coaxed those words out of him. And, after hearing how the evening had gone from Scout, Wasabi was also worried about his little brother.

"Scout said that Khary was a little aggressive with them today," Wasabi mentioned when they came home.

"I think Scout was getting on his nerves about Andrew," GoGo mentioned.

"Yeah, maybe, but that doesn't excuse Khary from yelling at the twins."

"He yelled at Reese and Luca?"

"That's what Scout said, and he has no reason to lie. I don't want to speculate but Khary's been having some really weird mood shifts lately. Uh, where is he?"

"He went out to meet with his future roommate."

"Oh. Okay. I really wanted to talk to him about this. I don't want him yelling at the kids. Any of them. That's not his place."

"He said he loved us before he left," GoGo mentioned. Wasabi's eyebrows shot up.

"He said what?"

"He said he loved me and to tell you that he loved you too."

"Maybe out of guilt… Maybe out of worry. I should go out and find him-"

"Wasabi, no. He's an adult. No matter what, we should give him his space. He's probably just going through some things. We'll talk to him in the morning."

"Okay. I love you, GoGo."

"I love you too. Thanks for the date tonight, but let's go to bed."

"That," Wasabi said, "is the best way to end any date."

In case anyone was wondering how I outline and plan for this story/how I write this... There is a method to my madness? Sort of? I want to tell you guys that I know where I'm going, but the Scout arc and the Khary arc came up randomly. Scout was just a throw-away line, "[Scout] wants to write children's books when he grows up, though he's unsure if he wants to bring children into the world himself because of his home life" before I decided that I love my little polite, rural, football-playing dork. I figured that if one of Luca's friends was suffering Luca would probably do something.

As for the Khary thing... That was also not planned when I wrote an outline.

So... Everything is random. Everything. Just a vague calendar of what's supposed to happen.
