Mob ginjiro and mob tall
A faded melody
It echoed through the halls of the compound. A soft, but strong voice humming out a song in a language few there understood. It faded in and out each night, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, but almost always present in the late hours of the night.
Yet no matter how loud it sang, how long the words flowed throughout the halls, it was only heard by one set of ears.
She crept through the halls after the first few nights, leaving Ryes room to at least confirm that it was who she thought it was. It was easy to get into Moxies' room, locked doors weren't a problem when you could no-clip.
There he was, sitting next to his sleeping son. Transparent hands hovered over messy black hair as Ginjiro continued to sing in his native tongue. It was hard to make out the exact words, however the tone made it easy for Tall to tell it was a lullaby.
"You know it's rude to enter a room without knocking." He laughed as he said it, looking away from Moxie to his feline-like friend, "Apologies if I woke you. I forgot you could hear me."
"It's fine." She says it softly, as to not wake the sleeping man.
"Bet you're wondering why I'm singing to my son even when he can't hear it?" Ginjiro hums, looking back down at his son for a moment, "Or maybe you're not. I can never quite tell what you're thinking."
"You can explain it, if you wish."
"If I wish, ha." His tone holds no bite, just warmth, "I used to sing to him when he was a baby. Often came home late when he had already been put to bed, so it became my only way to spend time with him, and it gave Margie a break to boot. Soon enough it just... Became a habit right up until the day I died. And then some, as you heard."
Moxie shuffles on his bed, turning onto his back as an arm swings through his father's spectral form.
Ginjiro can't help but laugh, "He still rolls around like he's in a washing machine. I swear if I wasn't a ghost he would've knocked me out a few times."
"I think it's sweet that you still sing for him." Tall smiles softly as she says it, for it was true.
"Thanks." Sighing, Gin runs a hand down his face, "Sometimes I wish he could still hear me. Or at least know I'm watching over him most of the time. It hurts to hear him call out for me when he has his nightmares, to hear that pain and fear in his voice as he yells out 'dad' before bolting up. I guess I just hope that if I sing he'll somehow hear it and that'll help him sleep..."
He blinks, laughing to himself as he threads a hand into his hair, "Bah, where'd that come from? I'm all rambling again, haha. You should be asleep, kiddo. I'll try to keep it quiet from now on."
"Please, if you wish to sing to your son, then sing. I'll be fine." Tall smiles a bit before softly continuing, "I'm sure Moxie would be happy to know you still do this for him."
"Thanks, Tall. Now go to bed!"

Howdy!
Makes perfect sense about the requests, thank you for letting me know!
There was really one idea that I've been thinking about but it's kinda angsty and cliche so I understand if it's not the most interesting prompt
--
It's for poly Stolas and Blitzø x reader (but if you don't write poly relationships they can be separate)- finding their s/o crying? Usually their (s/o) tries to be self-sufficient and while they're in touch with their emotions, feel uncomfortable being vulnerable about it.
--
I understand if you choose not to write it for any reason, though. Take care 💛💛
-🐻
Stolas X Reader X Blitzo [Comfort]
In which the two stumble upon you crying, and do their best to comfort you.
Of the two, you are likely to be the most down to earth, go with the flow person
It works best that way with two large personalities, they give you all the love and attention you could need
And ultimately, you are very good at working through your own problems more personally, since a lot of them don't concern your lovers
The both of them have a lot of more pressing matters that require a lot of support, though Blitzo is far more begrudging about his issues
It was just that, recently, everyone has been so busy, and you found yourself falling below the line of being 'okay enough'
Except Blitzo had so many clients with IMP recently, and it was that time of year where Stolas has to participate in all kinds of royal ceremonies required of his lineage
So you were mostly home alone, seeing them at the end of the day and, if lucky, during breakfast
It's not to say they were neglecting you or one another, but there was a mutual understanding that the three of you had very demanding lives- or at least, they did
Everything was just becoming a bit much, and you found yourself spending most your day shut in
One evening, Stolas came home a tad earlier than expected
He knew you'd be home, and after a long day he wanted nothing more than to tell you about it and see your face again
He was very troubled when he heard crying coming from your shared room
Probably runs in, blowing the door open and dramatically lifting you up into his arms
" Oh my is everything alright my dear!? "
Like a mask had been switched, you hid your tears and stopped crying, shaking your head
Even if you try to tell him you were just a bit sad, he will not have it, it is extremely rare to see you crying, and knowing you'd been home alone all day he worried you hadn't taken care of yourself
He lets you back into the bed and hushes you, rubbing circles into your back and using his magic to bring the phone to him
" Blitzo, when will you be home? "
" Kind of in the middle of something, Stolas, can it wait? "
" I'm afraid not, you see, our partner- "
" I'll be there in 5. "
Literally there in less, his van is squealing into the driveway and you can hear him running through the halls, and when he enters he is on the phone, likely yelling at Moxie to take care of everything
Both are on you in moments, Blitzo is inspecting you for any injuries and Stolas is soothing you with scratches and comforting gestures
While Stolas will try to coax you into being more open with them, Blitzo is far more direct
Because, fuck! He's worried! And if you don't tell him what's wrong, how can he fix it? How can he make it all better?
As hard as it may be to get things out, they won't leave until they can figure something out for you
Author's Note - I always like s/o with Stolas and Blitz because I imagine reader can be sort fo a mother figure to both Octavia and Loona! Anyhow, thank you for requesting, and please enjoy 🖤
