Leaving the babel tower, Hohenheim walked through the city, he passed by a crêpe stall, he wasn't hungry since he had just eaten, but as he never heard of such food in his previous life, he got interested, Rose had advised him to have some changes always since despite all the official shops can deal with guild card, small shop and booths usually doesn't
he then bought three for himself and his goddess, on the way home, he used the third one for an experiment, he ran his alchemy spark through the crêpe to understand how it's made, he opted not to use nature's perspective, as it's won't help anyway for something organic, so he used the old way, if something that's he can't recognize from the crêpe, he needs to study it the old way,
thankfully, the ingredients are all known to him, but sadly, it won't help too much as he doesn't know the recipe, he then decided to check it later...

Reaching the old church, Hohenheim walked to the basement, however, his hands were full so he couldn't the door, but fortunately for him, he did not need to, as suddenly the door was opened, the missile of whiteness hit him!
Hohenheim, with his experience, easily knows who it is, but couldn't dodge it for obvious reasons, so he did the best thing he can think of...take it like a man! Of course, that's what a normal man would do, but the reincarnator didn't, as he ran his alchemy through his armor, transforming the hard steel mixed with the drop items he had, into pillows
"Hohe-kun!!!! Welcome back!!!" The short missile said with a gleeful laugh, she didn't think much about how to land as her only thought was that her precious child has come back from hours of dungeoning, the moment she heard footsteps, she left anything she was doing, which usually would be working but since her child prevent her from doing so, she just slept, but immediately woke up and rushed to him instantly
Only when she saw him, did Hestia realize that he holding something and wearing his armor, the goddess almost come to regret her impulsive act if not for the fact that she did not feel the hardness of the metal, but instead the softness of a pillow!
"Woah!" both land on the basement floor, Hestia sitting on his stomach, Hohenheim managed to raise his hands to the air, preventing the pigtails goddess from crashing into the crepe he bought for them, he had already given the third for some poor children he had encountered
Hohenheim smiled, "I'm back Hestia, it seems you really missed me."
"hehe, of course, I did! I haven't seen you for 8 hours, 35 minutes, and 45 seconds!" she said with high accuracy
"How can you tell?" Hohenheim was surprised
"hehehe, a goddess secret!" in truth it was no secret at all, as gods can tell time any time they want, but she just wants to be playful
"is that so?" Hohenheim chuckled, "well, as much I like this position, I brought some things to eat, so we can't do that this way."
this made Hestia look down only to see she is setting on him in an unusual position, instead of being shy, her expression turned smugly, "hmm~you like seeing your goddess setting on you?"
Hohenheim smiled wryly at her cheeky smile, "I won't deny it, but we can't eat like this..."
"hehe, sure we can!" Then Hestia took one crêpe from his hand and put it near his mouth, "now we can feed each other!" since she was quite hungry because of sleeping all day, the goddess's eyes lit up when she saw what her child had brought to her crepes
the teen laughed at his goddess's Antics , but decided to roll with her, "say ah~ Hohe-kun~!" she said, and the blond took a bite, while doing the same for her, "yummy! this crepe is deli~cious~!" she savored the crêpe's taste and slowly chewing food
"it is indeed." Hohenheim smiled while eating, he looked at Hestia to notice something on his Goddess's face, he raised his finger and near her face he traced some cream, "I'm having this." he smiled and licked his index finger, Hestia's cheeks become bright, and her stomach felt giddy,
her eyes filled on his face to see something similar, "payback!" but she didn't do the same as him, but instead she moved dangerously close to his face, and licked directly with her small tongue the cream stuck near his mouth, the teen couldn't help but to be surprised but this attack only to look at directly at her happy smile, "hehe! I got you embarrassed!"
but Hohenheim wasn't there as he stared at her silently and muttered unconsciously, "Trisha..."
and without knowing his eyes become somewhat blurry
"hmm? who's Trisha?" Hestia asked only to receive silent, this made her open her eyes to look at his in surprise, "Hohe-kun! what's wrong?! why are you crying?! something hurts you??!" Hestia become anxious, her worried voice woke him up from his stupor, only to see her looking at him , "sorry for that, Hestia...my mind went to the past suddenly..."
"who is Trisha?" Hestia asked causing the old teen to smile in nostalgia, "...she is my first and late love...seeing you doing that to me made me remember her unconsciously...I'm sorry, I know it's rude to me to imagine you over her, but I couldn't help it..." but the only reply he got is a tight hug...
the short Goddess embraced him putting his head on her chest, "hush my dear child..." Hestia smiled tenderly looked at the blond with gentle eyes, "I don't know you full story, Hohenheim...heavens, I barely know small fraction..." she said while caressing her hear kindly, "but you have become my first child...however the past make you feel...I'm here to feel it with, despite the fact I don't know about it...whenever the past haunts you...remember that my divine blood is inside you...so no matter where you are or will be...I'll be with you sharing your burden..."
"Hestia...I.." Hohenheim wanted to share something but was stopped by her, "please do not tell me now Hohenheim, because it might me the impulsive of a moment...I don't want you to regret telling me about yourself, ...so take your time...I won't rush you...Hohenheim..." he brought him closer and kissed his forehead, "thank you...Hestia" she heard that and smiled, then she felt a few wet spots on her chest, and patted his head, only for few minutes later to hear silent breathing
"goodnight, Hohenheim..." she carried him albeit with some difficulty to put him in the bed he created and the two slept together, Hestia didn't have a problem sleeping all die or night, so she did find difficulty doing that...and the two slept with smiles on their faces...
