"Talk"

'Thought'

"Hm."

During one very stormy night, Kratos could be seen holed up in his cabin, doing nothing much, just sitting next to a fireplace, having a light meal with a small drink, and reading a book, which had been given to him, he was even wearing reading glasses as he did so, it was honestly quite relaxing for him, and a nice change of pace from his usual routine, no fighting, no killing, just simple enjoyment of the peace, silence, and stillness, which was a very welcome experience… Unfortunately, it didn't last long when he heard a gentle knock on the door

"K-Kratos, are you-HIC-you home?..."

Hearing the familiar yet slightly strange voice of Rosa, the God of War decided to stand up to his feat, after setting aside his meal and book, and he started to walk towards the door and open it

"You are drunk."

When Kratos opened the door, he was immediately met by a very drunk Rosa, who was very wet from all the rain

"R-Really, I couldn't-urp-tell…"

Drunkenly and sarcastically, Rosa said before taking another big swing from her bottle and trying to step forward. However, due to her losing a sense of balance from all the alcohol, she promptly fell forward. Luckily, the Ghost of Sparta was able to catch her. He could only sigh from this. Then, he decided to pick her up and take her inside, sitting her on his bedding.

"You should head home and rest once the rain clears."

Once Kratos put her down, he was about to leave her there and prepare something that could help her with her drunken form, like a cup of water

"W-Why couldn't my lover be as considerate as you?..."

Though what Rosa said next definitely caught the Spartan's attention, pausing on his steps and looking back at her

"What?"

Kratos, for some reason, felt upset when the Umbra Witch mentioned that she had a lover, which she noticed and lightly giggled at.

"Y-You might be a strong s-silent type, n-not to mention a dumb brute…"

Rosa then started speaking bluntly, with a slight stutter in her voice, to the God of War, no doubt having such confidence due to her drinking.

"Hmmm…."

Though Kratos clearly didn't appreciate being called rude words, he said nothing and listened to what she had to say.

"B-But I can see a man w-who cares, e-even if you don't show it, I-I know you're the type of person w-who would do anything for the ones you love…"

Rosa then looks down, even though she was wearing a mask that mostly hid her face from the world, it was clear that she wore an expression of pure sadness and frustration, and the Ghost of Sparta even noticed a tear falling from her cheeks.

"I-I wish my lover would do the same for me and n-not with those heavenly bastards…"

A moment of silence fell before the two after Rosa finished talking. The Spartan, truly at a loss for words, wanted to comfort her, as seeing such a confident act wasn't so. "Confident", it truly made him feel upset and unsettled. But in one hand, he had no right to do so, seeing as they were barely friends or acquaintances. Doubt filled his mind and heart, thinking he could do nothing to properly help this magical woman. With that in mind, the only thing he decided to do was just help her go home.

"You should really leave-"

"N-No wai-"

But just as Kratos was about to gather his things for his travels, Rosa tried to stop him, but being still intoxicated, she accidentally tripped and stumbled again, which resulted in not only her falling, but also falling on top of the God of War, who went wide-eyed in shock at having this Umbra Witch sitting on top of him, a feeling shared by her, though, either from her own drunk mind, or from her own hidden desire, she did more than just sit on top of him; she started to undress herself and the man she was on.

"Let me fill that hole that was made in you…"

"... Hm."

Alright Alright, fine, you guys win, but you better not complain on what I do with Cereza original Father ok?... With that said, how do you think Kratos would treat Bayonetta? Would he give her the same treatment like his BOY, or would he be different, like an overprotective Father, like Freya in a way?

(BTW, speaking of Freya, what's your thoughts on her adopting Dante from Devil May Cry?~}
