How Do You Explain To Your Girlfriend That In The Time She Was Gone, You Ended Up Co-parenting A Teenager

How do you explain to your girlfriend that in the time she was gone, you ended up co-parenting a teenager with your grumpy friend?

And on the flip side -

How do you explain to your kids and estranged wife that you're now co-parenting a teenager with your work friend?

Parents… Fambly…….

Need an AU where Marcille met Laios first. Maybe she dropped out of Magic School before Falin transfered over, the allure of gaining first-hand knowledge of ancient magic from dungeon diving too much.

Her and Laios still have an interesting and intimate dynamic, but from the outside perspective, it seems like they're in a romantic relationship.

To make it clear, they're not. One is just the friend with no concept of personal space, and the other is the friend who loves to love their friends.

Each moment brings them closer, but they definitely still do dumb shit

Yet when they mention other moments that seem normal to them, it raises eyebrows

ANYWAYS, what I'm getting at is when Falin finally joined her brother's adventure she started crushing on Marcille but was upset about it because that's her brother's girlfriend

Marcille is excited to finally meet Falin and is doing everything she can to make a good impression, not knowing that she's making Falin's struggle harder.

Just a misunderstanding where Falin is simultaneously mad at herself for wanting her brother's girl, guilty of the possessiveness she's feeling and that she's enjoying the half-elf's attention as well as jealous that she's not hers, meanwhile Laios and Marcille are sort of just oblivious because they're glad she's there. Sometimes, though, they do notice that she'll stare at them a little too intensely with a barely noticeable frown when she thinks they aren't looking.

must've lost her train of thought

Just some normal healing magic
