Your AU About Gosha And Yahya Adopting Melon Made Me Wonder About A Couple Of Things.

Your AU about Gosha and Yahya adopting Melon made me wonder about a couple of things.

Since Melon would be adopted as a baby, how different would his personality be like since he would have a loving and supportive family right from the start?

And how would his relationship be like with his two adopted dads and sister? Especially Leano since both are hybrids.

I love this ask so much!! ❤️

I think Melon would still feel cynical and bitter about society’s treatment of hybrids but he wouldn’t be as hateful of the world of hate himself as much.

Knowing Gosha, he’d love and support Melon just as much as he would Leano and Legoshi. Species differences and what society thought wouldn’t matter in their family, only that they had each other.

They’d be equally protective of Melon but I think Yahya would be much more likely to kill or severely harm someone if they dared to hurt his son (not that Gosha wouldn’t do the same but he’d probably try a less extreme approach before using violence).

So basically, Melon would have a lot more of a ‘who cares?’ attitude about society. He’d likely still have body dysmorphia issues and food insecurity (mainly that he can’t taste anything) but again, he’d have support for that.

Since Leano is (I think) a good couple years older than him, I can see her being a loving and protective big sister to him. Maybe she’d scare off anyone who’d try to bully Melon in school and walked him home from school to protect him. Being both hybrids, I think Melon and Leano could talk about things that they felt their fathers couldn’t fully understand.

For this reason, I think Leano’s death would be especially devastating to Melon but maybe in this AU she doesn’t die(?). I kinda want her in the AU so maybe in just ‘AU’s of the AU’ she does die but not in the main AU? 😅

If my math is right, Melon (being 24 canonically and Legoshi 17 to 18), Melon would be about 6 or 7 when Legoshi is born. They’re technically nephew and uncle, but they’d be more like brothers here. Melon would tease Legoshi over his relationship with Haru but he’d also give him a heads up when Yahya and Gosha are angry with him (“Legoshi, did you really eat someone’s leg? Dad and Papa are freaking out right now”).

Actual dialogue here:

Legoshi: “I’m grounded am I?”

Melon: “You’d be lucky if they let you out when you’re 30.”

Side note: Leano would totally stand up for Legoshi after he eats Louis’ leg, fights Riz, and drops out of school. Arguing that Gosha and Yahya instilled in him a ‘sense duty and hero complex’ and Yahya saying: “He’s Gosha’s grandson alright.” Lol

TLDR: Yahya and Gosha are loving dads to Melon and he’s close to his adoptive sister and nephew. Yeah their family dynamic is a little strange but they wouldn’t have it any other way.
