A/N: I'm trying to figure out how to show y'all the ring, I actually took time to draw out one before writing out the description, and I'll get it up eventually.

The Adventures of Skull and Ri
7.1: Adopting the Kids, Part One
Ri-chan often stared down at his ring finger before sighing happily for the past few weeks since Skull had proposed. The band was lovely. A purple amethyst winked up next to a matching emerald in a polished silver band a thin section wrapping around it and circling the gemstones with what appeared to be tiny built in rivets. Tiny gears were engraved into the central band with two slim sections framing. Inside was an engraving of their initials with a small heart flanked by skulls in between.
Ri loved it.
He was however distracted from his latest absentminded, goof y stare when Enma came in looking battered, his nose broken and bleeding, the skin around it swollen and bruised in an ugly manner.
"What happened?!" Ri exclaimed hurrying over. Ri summoned the first-aid kit, and fussily ordered Enma to sit before fretting over him. Bruise balm came out and Ri quickly spread it over the injured area after a quick spell numbed the entire area and moved the cartilage in Enma's nose back into place. The boy looked at him gratefully before glancing down in embarrassment. He banished the blood and the boy looked better quickly, despite the thick paste he applied.
"Tsuna-san and I got corned by some bullies after detention and they decided to beat us up. We managed to get away without using our flames, but we both got injured. Tsuna-san is at the hospital with a sprained wrist and I got a bloody nose." Enma confessed.
"This isn't the first time you've come back like this, Enma-kun," Ri-chan said with a concerned frown, "Are these the same bullies?" The teen nodded reluctantly, his head down in clear shame. Ri tsked and began muttering dark expletives. Enma's mouth dropped open.
"Ri-san!" The boy said, a surprised, but mostly shocked, laugh following as the man went into details over what he'd like to do to those chumps.
"I've a mind to go in and speak with your principal," he finished.
"You can't really, not since Adelheid-san organized us to be wards, we don't technically have a guardian," Enma confessed.
The cross dresser's eyes narrowed.
"Well then," Ri said smoothing a fond and gentle hand over Enma's face before patting the boy's uninjured cheek absently, "What do you say about becoming a Potter?"
Enma's mouth dropped open.
