Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vincent groaned softly, holding his head. Wakey wakey.. Come on, you're freaking people out. Vincent opened his eyes slowly, them still being a murky blue. They seemed a bit hazed over, and he was sort of out of it. He turned his head slightly, and looked at the ceiling. "No, Homados. You can't go with, stop crying. I'll see you in a few years. I have to keep Lucian safe.." he murmured, hallucinating. The memory of his banishment was replaying though his mind. He held his head, as the pain worsened. They're gonna kill me..

Vincent closed his eyes again, feeling the cool rag on his head. He heard Lucian's voice echo through his head. Why is my head cold? When did they let Lucian back here..? I'm so confused!"He wanted to go... to the Mortal world. Wanted to keep.... you away from me.." he struggled, trying to stay awake. Anger's voice rumbling in his mind, followed by Athena's wicked laugh. He held his head, groaning loudly. Get out of my head! "Don't leave.. I can't lose you.." he whimpered softly.

"You're home.." he sighed in relief. He felt Lucian's kiss, but was too out of it to kiss him back. He couldn't move. His mind was racing. Just sleep. They can't hurt you.. His head was still sore, and his mind was racing with memories. The God entered yet another flashback.
--Flashback--
The coldest day of the year, Bachram had to go fight in another battle. Vincent was stuck with Unadone and Lucian. Luca wasn't even thought of yet. Vincent looked out the frosty window, sighing softly. He was bored, and worried. It had been weeks since anyone had heard from his parents. He felt the other's presence, and felt a cool hand on his shoulder. Vincent turned to see Lucian, standing behind him, assuring that every thing would be okay. He sighed, leaning his head back against the Djinn. "How is it you always keep me calm..?" the God asked, and Lucian leaned down, kissing him softly. It was Vincent's first kiss. One that sent electric shocks all through his body.

His mind was pulling back to reality, only to find himself in another memory. This one was distorted. More of a dream.. Vincent stood in front of Athena, his only sister, and Homados was in front of her, laughing. He circled around him, as his eyes glowed. You're weak! And pathetic! the voices echoed, before Anger put a gun to his head. A loud bang, and Vincent's body jolted awake. He was still unable to see, but he could hear.

He heard the Djinn's voice in his head again. How does he keep doing that? He just wanted to wake up, but it's as if his body wouldn't allow it. "Where are you taking me? What did I do? No wait, let me say goodbye!" Vincent groaned in pain, tossing and turning. The flashbacks felt so real. He hadn't had a real flashback in over thirteen years. He kept seeing the memories of him and Lucian, all flashing through his head, with Athena's distant laugh. "How could you do this??" the God shouted, basically to nothing. They can't hear you. It's not real. Wake up!

Vincent wrapped his arms around the Djinn, kissing his head. He sighed in relief, hugging him close. "You're home.. Don't do that. Don't leave me again." he whimpered, kissing his head again. "Shh, don't cry. Why are you crying..?" he murmured, rocking slowly to calm Lucian down. It was as if he had gone back to normal, though, his eyes were still a dark, hazy blue.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm okay. See? I'm right here, and everything is okay." the God murmured, rocking him still. He lifted Lucian's chin gently, and kissed him passionately. "Shh, let's not worry about that right now, okay? It's you and me. We're okay. We're safe." he said soothingly. He rested his chin on top of the other's head, still slowly rocking him. "You remember when we were younger, and I used to try and drag you with me out to the forbidden forest? You'd always be so scared, thinking about how much trouble we'd get in if we were caught. But I had to show you those beautiful, white-tipped roses. They looked so beautiful, so elegant. You wanted to take all of them.." he chuckled softly, kissing his head again, trying his best to calm him.

"I want those tipped roses at our wedding. Which, speaking of, we need to actually plan. Now that I'm basically on leave from work, it'll be easy to sit and plan it." he smiled softly, looking down at the Djinn. Duncan ran back in, a muddy mess. He wagged his tail, nipping at Vincent's feet. "Oh, do you want Lulu to give you a warm bath?" he chuckled, picking the muddy puppy up. He handed him Duncan with a sly smile. "You're the one that said we could keep him.." He couldn't help but look at Lucian. Years of not being allowed near him had really made him cherish every moment they spent together now. I'll be damned if I let them take you away from me.. He sighed, before getting up. "While you clean up the little monster, I'll make dinner, okay? You need to relax today." he murmured, kissing Lucian's forehead softly.

Vincent heard the splash, and he held back a loud laugh. The God sighed softly, looking around the kitchen. He spotted the thawed chicken in the fridge. Thank God.. this'll be easy. Kind of. It's not that he was bad at cooking, just, the last time, he practically burned water. Vincent started to chop up some vegetables, and shucking corn. He put the chicken in the oven, and snapped his fingers, having a giant amount of dough appear. Yes, it was technically cheating, but he was lazy. He rolled out the dough, forming it into a decent sized bowl, and setting it in the baking dish. He filled the bowls with the chopped vegetables, and the chicken. He put that in the oven, and started on his famous Salad dressing that he hated making.

By the time Lucian had finished fighting Duncan, Vincent had already taken the pot pies out, letting them cool and set. He had the salad mixed, with his ceasar dressing, and had already set the table. Vincent placed a bowl on the floor full of dog food and a couple pieces of chicken. He swirled his fingers, letting the dishes line themselves up in the dish washer. He propped himself up on the counter, opening a bottle of white wine. "My love, my horrendous food is ready for you to choke down." he chuckled, rolling his eyes. He had actually tried to look somewhat presentable.
