The Best Nights Are With You
"Mm... 'ey Reg?" Kaisui asked snuggling up the vampire's cold body. It would repel most but Kaisui wasn't like most people.
"Yah..." The vampire asked in a half-awake state. They didn't do it often but Kaisui practically demanded they spent the rest of the night together once the bat had come home.
They'd played board games: Checkers, Chest, operation, anything the dolphin could dig up. Then they'd watched movies, danced in the moonlight... it was the most romantic night they'd ever had. Now they were snuggled up beside each other, only missing shirts due to the hot night. Life was... great...
Reginald never knew he could experience something like this with Kaisui. It was odd yet ... good. He never felt this type of closeness with his other lovers.
"Will we be good parents?"
The vampire planted a soft kiss on the older male's head. "They'll be messed up mentally but I think those spirits knew that. Otherwise? They'll be happy..."
Kaisui smiled and closed his eyes as the sun overtook the skies. Sending the vampire and the dolphin into a slumber.
As they slept their souls floated above their bodies, ghostly relics around their necks. Though it was really hard to tell that Reg was just sleeping it was obvious that Kaisui was so they could tell it was just the dream they were supposed to experience to gain the children. Strangely there were two doors facing them in this dream. One white with a gold frame, hinges and handle and the other black with silver, matching the relics around their necks. The dark relic around Reginald's neck beckoned toward it's proper door as the light relic on Kaisui's did.
"I guess this is where we split up..." Reginald murmured glancing at his lover.
"Are ya ready...?"
The vampire paused, ready to reply that he wasn't but his lover was already darting through the door. It took him a minute to notice that Kaisui was in his dolphin form. "Wait you can't..."
But he'd already gone through the door.
Left alone, Reginald could only go through the other door. Drawn by his relic he entered and braced himself.
The door vanished when each had passed through. And they were now in very different places. Kaisui found himself swimming in a grand ballroom with pearl like floors, white walls, gold everywhere and what had probably been the scene of a great party. The only figure in the room however was at the center of the dance floor. He was pale yet shone like a white star, and his hair flowed like spun gold. Upon his face was a mask of white with golden details and diamonds and pearls adorning it as well as lovely white feathers. He wore a robe of a sort-most would call it a gown-of purest white with small golden detail on it and it was obvious that he'd been enjoying the ball. But he lay there lifeless and cold, with a dagger through his chest. The poor thing.
Reg found himself in a much less grand scene. A dark room for sure with velvet draping and a large Gothic window with thick curtains to keep out sunlight. But this room was strange because before him on the velvet floor was a dark wooden cradle-empty of course- and laying beside it, almost upon it, was the young man from the book. He looked somewhat more worn and his black attire seemed to lack more mourning then vibrancy. From his stance he had been killed protecting the child.......most likely his own. Both relics beckoned the lovers to touch the bodies of these fallen gods.
Kaisui jerked his head back and let out a small cry of mourning. It was a low and sad sound, unlike any dolphin should make. He swam forward and circled the poor God's body before looking for the cause. Whatever had done this... that Evil God... he deserved nothing less then death. Hell, he deserved something worse! To take away a playful heart... it was unheard of for Dolphins. It was like murdering a calf or a child. Revolting. Another low sound escaped him as he nosed the other, begging him to stand again and be lively. To enjoy life like he had obviously once done.
Reginald's eyes lost their normal luster. This was how the God of Vice was forced to die? Protecting one of his own...? He landed in front of the crib and touched the surface. Such a poor soul... and from the look of it, it had all been in vain. "I understand... how it feels to loose something precious..." His fingers continued to stroke the wood as his eyes misted over. "Such a cruel person...to take your life in front of your most loved and one of your creation... More damning then a million sins..." The vampire dangled his fingers over the other then slowly lowered his hand to the other's hair, stroking it and brushing it back. "A fool has done this and a fool shall pay for his crimes, Vice. I promise you that."
When the two guardians touched their charges a reaction was caused. Horus's body lit in the most wonderful and pure of lights that Kaisui had ever seen, the relic around his body leaving to enter the god's sun like figure, causing it to shrink. On the other hand it was a dark glow that encompassed Vice and his relic, the same occurring. When the relic's-the soul of the god-reentered it's proper form, it started to shrink, reducing both gods to the form of small children. Vice a dark haired, currently yawning baby-as it WAS daytime-and Horus a lovely lively child, smiling up at his daddy and reaching up to hug the funny creature.
Reginald chuckled. "I feel the same myself." He leaned down and picked the child up, tickling him with his light fingers. "Tired are we? I suppose I'll have Kaisui build a mini coffin, however, I want you to sleep with me until you're older, understood?" The vampire noticed a door and flew up for it, holding his little boy close.
Kaisui preformed a loop in the air then swam down to his son, nuzzling him with the tip of his nose. After he felt the child had enough affection he lightly took the child into his mouth and started to swim for the door. His teeth barely touched the boy as he made his way back home. Ready to see the other half of his set.
The vampire woke up and stared down at the sleeping bundle in his arms. He smiled and stroked the boy's bare back before glancing over to Kaisui. He blinked seeing cascading blond hair and huge eyes staring at him. "Erm... Hello?"
"Ain't he cute?" Kaisui asked sitting up and wrapping his strong arms around the child. Tears were still trailing down the dolphin's cheeks as he nuzzled the child's head, making high pitched noises.
Horus looked down at Vice and smiled before poking his sleeping brother. "gaa...?" He questioned trying to peer at the other's hidden face.
"This is going to be interesting..." The vampire yawned smiling sheepishly at Horus then to Kaisui.
"Oh yah... its gonna be amazin'." The dolphin picked up Horus and rocked him, humming slightly. "Horus 'n Vice..."
"Our two Hellions."
"I was gonna say cutie pies but sure."
