Leon Court The old man chuckled, ducking his head so Aysun could easily reach his hair. " It used to be very purple, trust me. But I'm very old now, little Aysun." He patted Aysun's head, then gestured to a bowl on the table beside him filled with Jolly Ranchers and lollipops. " Here, why don't you get some candy?" he offered before looking up at Nikolai. " Yeah, sure," joshed Leon as he playfully nudged Nikolai's side. the old man didn't speak, staring at Nikolai. " Have we met?" he asked after a while.

  Aysun giggled a little when he felt his grandpa's soft hair, grabbing a handful and tugging on it until he saw the bowl of candy. He gasped before hesitating, looking at Leon to see if it was okay. Nikolai grunted and rubbed the back of his head. Well his hair color wasn't a choice because of taking Sloth's soul, but it didn't get this way because of age! Feeling eyes on him, the Sin looked over at the old man, grinning at him. " Mmm, perhaps. Does the name Nikolai ring a bell, dearie?"

Leon Court Leon nodded, watching Aysun although he did listen to his husband and his grandfather's conversation. " Yes," said the man after a while. " An old... friend. He's long-dead now, but we were very close once. I haven't seen him since my wedding." He trailed off, looking away. Ah, Nikolai. He missed that awful man. Teaching him English and wasting away the nights in hushed passion were the best moments of his life. The memory of it still graced his dreams.

  " Ah yes?" mused the Russian with a knowing smile. " Such a shame. I think I met him before myself. He wanted me to ask you if you ever shaved your chest. Quiet the forest, it was." Meanwhile, Aysun climbed onto his grandpa's lap and began sorting through the candy for his favorite flavors.

Leon Court At Nikolai's question, Theodore laughed. He wrapped an arm to keep him safely on his lap, and shook his head. " He did complain about that every now and then. I never did, though. Thought it made me less manly back then, but now I'm just too old to do anything about it. Those days with Nikolai... I'll never forget them." He smiled softly, glancing back to his desk. Hidden in one of the drawers was an old photo of himself and his old lover, one he kept hidden from everyone, even his wife. Leon inhaled sharply through his nose, trying not to pay attention. He didn't want to hear any of this.

  " Ohh, my my my~! It sounds like you two were more than just friends! Do tell! What were you two like?" Nikolai asked as he crossed his arms, his eyes shining.

Leon Court He blushed, looking away. " That's not the kind of thing I want to talk about in front of little Aysun," he said, leaning down a little to kiss his great-grandchild's head. It had been such a long time since he'd seen any of his great-grandkids, he was going to hold on to this one for as long as possible. " I agree. Aysun doesn't need to hear about that," said Leon, trying hard not to glare openly at his husband.

  " Oh posh, it's nothing he hasn't heard before." This time it was Nikolai's turn to playfully elbow Leon. He looked back to Theodore with a persistent grin. " At least tell me, dearie: was he any good? I've only heard rumors, but he sounds like he's oh-so incredible at that sort of thing~" This was one of the few times Nikolai seemed to show pride. Aysun was listening, but at the same time he wasn't. He didn't understand what any of them were talking about, and right now he was more concerned about how many lollipops he could stuff in his mouth. So far he was at three.

Leon Court He was silent for a minute, and it almost seemed like he wasn't going to answer, but soon enough, he smiled and opened his mouth to speak. " He was the best I've ever had," he admitted, ancient flesh flushing. " There was this little thing he used to do to my ear while we were-" " Grandpa!" Leon interrupted, knowing too well what the move was. Nikolai had done it for him just last night. " That's enough. Why don't you play with Aysun while Nikolai and I go downstairs to pick up dinner for us all?" he offered, grabbing Nikolai's elbow. The old man hesitated, then nodded. " Aysun, what would you like me to put on the television?" he asked, picking up the TV guide so they could both see what was on.

  Nikolai laughed brightly as he was dragged away, leaving the two to themselves. Aysun looked at the guide, unable to read most of the names but finally recognizing one. " Aaa waah!" he said, his mouth muffled by seven lollipops as he pointed to Wipeout. He loved that show, especially when people fell down. Uncle Nikki would always say something about the big red balls that would make Uncle Leon act all weird and funny. " Did you hear that, dearie?" Nikolai asked once they were away from the room. " The best he'd ever had! You're quite the lucky one, hmm?" He had to admit, he was impressed that Theodore remembered him, flattered even. The Sin was tempted to tell him who he really was just to see the look on his face when he'd realize that his longtime lover was still the same age as when they first met.

Leon Court Once outside of the room, the visibly upset Leon clearly wasn't in the mood to giggle about what had happened. " Are you kidding me? Lucky? My husband slept with my grandfather. I don't want to hear about that! The man was awful to me as a child, doted on my brothers because they were the good kids and I was a delinquent, and oh, he f-cked the man I decided to marry and spend the rest of my life with. That's not amusing!" He crossed his arms, looking away. He knew he shouldn't be that angry, but he couldn't help it.

  Nikolai was surprised to hear that Theodore had been so harsh on Leon, but then he remembered that his darling husband was a punk back then. Smiling sympathetically, the Sin moved closer and gently put a hand on his arm. " I met him back when I was still full of hate and bitterness. I barely cared and vanished randomly on him. If it's any consolation, you're far better in bed?"

Leon Court " How is that supposed to console me? I'm willing to bet there's absolutely no one else who can honestly say that. I mean, really. You know what my Grandpa's d!ck looks like, Nikolai. My grandmother, bless her heart, probably didn't even know!" He didn't pull away, but still didn't look at Nikolai. He'd never wanted to know anything like this. He'd have been content to spend the rest of his life blissfully ignorant.

  Nikolai scratched his chin with his free hand and looked to the side. Leon was really upset. No whispered sweet nothings or flowers could fix this. He'd have to resort to drastic measures. " Well then, why don't I do something for you that I've never done for anyone else, dearie?" he suggested before grinning at him. " You simply adore Game of Thrones, yes? Why don't we role play that tonight?"

Leon Court Leon turned to walk away. He needed to get away. He needed to not be near Nikolai. However, what his husband said next made him freeze in his tracks. Turning to face him, he crossed his arms and leaned towards himself. " I've been trying to suggest that for weeks. You keep saying it's way too nerdy."
