"...I think I'd rather live in Cascadia, though." His voice is oddly soft. 

"We have some nice properties! Gay marriage, poly marriage, really lovely trees, unrestricted immigration, you can stop going to school at fifteen or sixteen if you can pass the GED, becoming an emancipated minor is unusually easy-- uh, we eat our pets, that weirds some people out--"

He cuddles Lev more insistently. "And there's you." 

Crap. That... might be the face of Imminent Crush.

"And there's me."

"You're the first person in ages who's liked me." 

"Well, lots of people are wrong."

"I'm so glad you think so." 

"I-- want to take care of you as much as I can."

"Thank you." 

Snuggles.

Yes. Snuggles. So much snuggles. 

Meanwhile--

Asher Stark is wandering around the hallways of his apartment, literally bouncing off the walls. He still has not found his shirt.

Yep, Asher does that. "Hey." 

"Hey! --Which one are you, I can't actually tell VKsha and Spidey apart. Which is sort of embarrassing, I can't tell my own boyfriend apart from his alternate self."

"I'm the one from the world where Cinderella is real. Which, let me tell you, is not a sentence you expect to say about random celebrities whose children you know." 

"I am told she's both real and an asshole."

"She is both real and an asshole. Her son is — I don't think more of an asshole, but he's an asshole to me personally rather than an asshole off somewhere doing asshole things in the abstract." 

"I need to watch Princess and the Frog and find out what my dad is like in an alternate universe!"

"He's great. — not that I've met him personally, but my Asher loves his parents a lot." 

"I have complicated feelings about my parents because all of the, uh, murdering kids. My dad was great other than that but that is a big 'other than.'"

"I am almost one hundred percent sure that Naveen has never murdered anyone and definitely hasn't murdered a bunch of kids. He was apparently kind of a mess before he married Tiana but it was, like, 'Asher has four half siblings' level of mess." 

"My dad was an alcoholic but as soon as my mom got pregnant he married her and went into therapy and learned all about parenting because he wanted to be a better dad than his dad was."

"Auradon does patronymics — Chen hates that but they do — and Asher always always always introduces himself as 'Asher son of Tiana,' even though his dad is royalty and his mom runs a restaurant. He says it's an asshole detector, if anyone refers to him as 'Prince Asher son of Naveen' he knows he doesn't want to talk to them." 

"I think I'd be 'Asher son of Tony', we're very similar and I'm not as much like my mom at all."

...wrong thing to say. 

"It's... not about that, really? He loves them both, he just — thinks it's a more important fact about him that he grew up working in a restaurant than that he has a courtesy title in Maldonia."
