  " Of course! But like I said, I don't want to be the first one in. Now in you go, age before beauty~" Nikolai purred while opening the door for the two, shooting Leon a look that threatened him on any joke he could think of about age. Aysun hurried in, looking around with a gaping mouth and wide eyes. " Woooow. There's a lotta old people here, Uncle Leon!" he breathed. He sniffed the air then grimaced and covered his nose, looking up at the violet haired man. " It smells stinky," he mumbled.

Leon Court Silenced by the look, Leon walked the child inside. He winced at the smell, never prepared for it. " That's old people smell," he mumbled to the child before flashing his ID to the nurse. " My husband is coming inside in a few minutes. His name is Nikolai Court, tell him the room number, okay?" The nurse nodded, and Leon started taking Aysun down the hall and towards an elevator. " Be very polite, okay? Grandpa's very old and a little fragile."

" Is he as old as you, Uncle Leon?" Aysun asked innocently while holding his hand. " I bet he's... ten!" Whenever he looked elsewhere from the floor or Leon he'd find himself being stared at by old people. Some stared at him and smiled at how adorable he was, but others seemed to stare... through him. Aysun got closer to Leon just in case.

Leon CourtHe chuckled. " Oh, he's much older than that," he answered as he pushed the button for the elevator. The doors opened, several older women shuffling out. Leon ushered Aysun inside, pressing the third floor button and holding Aysun in front of him as the doors closed.

" Twelve!" spouted Aysun. Once they were in the elevator he watched Leon press the buttons on the small panel, his eyes lighting up when he saw the light behind the button turn on. Like a moth to a flame, he reached out an pressed his hand against the panel, pressing three buttons at once. " Goodness, but you two are slower than the residents here," Nikolai said as he appeared in the corner of the elevator in a puff of purple smoke.

Leon Court" It doesn't help that Aysun presses all the buttons at once because he can," said Leon as the elevator stopped at the middle floor. He bit back the desire to scold, merely lifting Aysun onto his hip and holding him away from the buttons.

" How long do you plan to stay here, darling? Half an hour? An hour?" the Sin asked.

Leon Court" As long as Grandpa wants me to," he answered. " He doesn't really have much more time left, so I indulge him. We're really all we've got." The doors opened, and he carried Aysun back out into the hallway and set him down. " Wait, so how do you know Grandpa again?"

Aysun ran down the hallway with his arms spread out, making airplane noises. Nikolai slowly slid his hands into his back pockets. He turned his head to smile at Leon. " I slept with him," he answered before walking out of the elevator.

Leon CourtLeon froze. It was like all of the earth had slowed completely to a stop, and he could no longer breathe. Swallowing the thick lump in his throat, his head creaked as he turned to look at the Sin. " I'm sorry, what?" he said, voice filled with disbelief.

" It wasn't recently, if that's what you're thinking," Nikolai said over his shoulder while following Aysun down the hallway. " We met after the war and hit things off. Who knows, dearie? Perhaps he forgot who I am?"

Leon Court" You still slept with him and never said anything!" hissed Leon as they approached the door. He grabbed the handle, looking at Nikolai. " I swear to God, if you flirt with him and it turns out he remembers you and tries to talk to me about it all, I will kill you in your sleep."

" I never knew he was your grandfather," Nikolai shrugged, though his grin said otherwise. " Come now, dearie, it's been half a century. I doubt he'll remember me. Although I suppose I can be quite unforgettable in that regard, hmm?" he winked at Leon before walking through the opened room.

Leon CourtWalking into the room, they immediately could hear the television running. Sitting in an armchair in front of the television was a fairly old man, knitting what looked to be a rather long and very colorful scarf. He looked up as the room was entered, smiling as he recognized his grandson. " Leon! I forgot you were coming today." He reached out, Leon taking his hand and squeezing very gently. " Did you bring me my grandbaby?" he asked, looking around. Leon nodded. " Aysun, come here and meet your grandpa."

Aysun suddenly got shy as he realized he was meant to interact with one of the strange old people here. He hid behind Leon's legs, poking half of his face out so that one eye could see his grandpa. He blinked a couple times then slowly moved closer to him. " Your hair isn't purple," he said while reaching a tiny hand out to touch it. " It looks more like Uncle Nikki's." " Ah, my hair is silver because I want it to be, not because of age," the Sin quietly scolded as he moved to Leon's side.
