Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fredrich Waltz...................Cameron West...................Hayden Belmont

"Danger never looked so good."

Both Hayden and Fredrich immediately froze at the words that pierced them like swords. Cameron, however, smiled delightedly and reached into his pocket. "Look! I even got pictures from a few old friends at their school!" he bragged and set down three pictures. Each worse than the last. "Yeah, Freddy was pretty short back then. They only reason they broke up was because none of them wanted to be on the bottom. If you ask me, I think Freddy would've made a good bottom. Am I right?" he laughed.
Fredrich just stood there, his black hair covering his eyes as he grit his teeth. He clenched his fists tightly then swiped his hands across the pictures, throwing them off the table. Using the momentum, he gripped Cameron's shirt collar and yanked him forward. "Are you out of your damn mind?!" he yelled.
Hayden, however, was more focused on the artist backing away from him. "Peter, it's not what you think." he urged, his eyes pleading for the artist to believe him as he tried to take a step forward. "We were close friends before we dated, and that's all we are now. We're just friends. I- Peter-!" His face fell as Ellery walked off with Peter. This was the exact reason both he and Fredrich agreed to keep their relationship a secret. People were either threatened by the others appearance, or they didn't trust their friendship at all, no matter how many times they assured them that there was nothing romantic between them anymore. Hayden looked down, upset, until he heard a new voice. Glancing over, he saw a man in a doctor's uniform, judging him to be Cameron's boyfriend based off of the description he got. Not having the will to fight or argue, he nodded numbly and pried Fredrich off of the cop. Fredrich resisted at first, but then reluctantly let go and walked off with the half-breed to the bedroom so these two could have their space.
Chuckling as the two left, Cameron glanced back over at Liam. "I don't know how the hell you can be so okay with this." he muttered with a shake of his head. "You were shot literally hundreds of times in less than five minutes. You, an immortal, nearly died! How can you just smile at the person that did that to you as if it were nothing!? I don't know about you, Liam, but it's gonna take a hell of a long time for me to be in the same room with Fredrich after that sh-t he pulled with you! Why is it that I'm the only one that's still angry about this?"
As the two fought, Julian wandered in, a fist to his mouth and his eyes dull with boredom. He glanced up at the fighting pair that were supposed to be called his parents. Hmph. This was why he hated them, these people that were supposed to love him and adore him. In the end, they were just a pair of weirdos that yelled at each other.

"Danger never looked so good."

Cameron stared hard at Liam for a minute then let out a sigh. "I just... don't know what I would've done without you." he mumbled and leaned against Liam's touch, closing his eyes. It felt pretty pathetic giving in like this so soon, especially after what he did, but this was the thought he had been going by for so long now. This was the whole reason he held a grudge against Fredrich. This was the first time he had felt this way about anyone, and to have them taken away from him so soon... Just the thought was unbearable.

Hearing the voice beside him, Julian flickered his eyes up at the figure seated next to him. He didn't jump, didn't frown, didn't even react. In fact, he didn't even reply. He looked back at the quarreling couple and made a semi-sighing sound. Look at them. They were ready to rip each others throats out and now they're hugging it out? They were so weird.

"Danger never looked so good."

Letting out a long sigh through his nose, Cameron lifted a hand to hold Liam's and nodded. "I think I might." he agreed while stroking the back of his hand with his thumb.

Julian looked over at the candy-cane then at Daniel just as he walked off. Boring? Wasn't that boy creeped out by him? Even the adults at the orphanage and police department were perturbed by his silence and his dead gaze. Why wasn't that boy affected? It was as if he didn't even care whether or not he was a killer. What could possibly go on in his life that made him unafraid of him? Curious (and slightly insulted), Julian walked towards the end of the hallway to observe. He stopped midway, though, and turned back around. His eyes narrowed and he swiped the candy off it before hurrying to the wall and peering out at Daniel.

Fredrich had his arms crossed and was leaning against the dresser when Daniel walked in. He turned to look at him and instantly his expression softened. "Probably to get some fresh air. Your mother is having another one of his stressful days." he said then motioned to Hayden, who was sitting at the edge of the bed and just now lifting his head from his hands. "Daniel, meet an old friend of mine, Mr. Belmont."
The half-breed sniffed and stared at the child. "That's your son, right?" he mumbled and smiled sadly at the boy. "Hey, little guy. Your dad's told me a lot about you."

"Danger never looked so good."

Cameron smiled lightly at him before looking over towards the kitchen. "I think I should talk to them first." he said and got up from his chair. Glancing at Liam for encouragement, he took a deep breath and walked over to the embraced duo. "Hey, umm, look I'm sorry. All that stuff I said, it was out of anger for something Fredrich did. Let me clear the air." He explained to the two that Fredrich and Hayden had been an item, but for only a year. Their masculinity and pride created thousands of fights, and in the end they decided it'd be best to only be friends. All they had between them when they were together were kisses and hugs, but that was it. Now they showed no sign of sexual interest, and only appeared as the old friends they started out as. "...In reality, they're just like those two best friends that try dating for a while but realize it's best to stay friends." he concluded.

Hayden, however, was feeling worse than ever after hearing Daniel. He was curled up in fetal position, his back to the boy and streams of tears falling from the bold, black, wobbly circles of eyes. "H-He really is your son." he sniffed towards Fredrich, who only pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose in reply.
The detective glanced down at his son and, with a smirk, reached down and ruffled his hair. "Yes, it was, but Mr. Belmont needs rudeness once in a while." he chuckled.

Meanwhile, the other young boy peeked out from the doorway, trying his best to hide while also watching. The two adults appeared to be too preoccupied to notice him, so that reassured him. But that Daniel kid... What was with the look in his eyes? That bored look, it was almost like his own! Did he know the same things as him? Did he kill others like him?

"Danger never looked so good."

"Knowing Decius, he'd use that, too." Fredrich sighed and watched Hayden shiver at the thought of the mad scientist. Ever the lover of the abnormal, it was safe to say that Decius had tried attacking Hayden a couple times, and there were sure to be more encounters. Even taffy didn't work with him, which was strange since it usually made the doctor friendly to anyone.

Cameron smirked when he heard the two. I knew it, he thought. Glancing over his shoulder, the officer rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and looked at Ellery. "You know..." he said in a hushed tone. "Fredrich's got that whole mysterious thing going for him. If you want him to fall hard for you, you've got to break past that shroud of mystery he's got, y'know? Shatter his walls. That's how Hayden did it; he comforted Freddy when his family fell apart." he explained then looked to Liam, digging his hands into his pockets. "Speaking of which, guess I'd better talk to them, huh?"

"Danger never looked so good."

Smiling lightly at his son, Fredrich leaned down and hugged Daniel close. "It's good to have you back, Daniel." he said. Still maintaining his light smile, he leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Now what's this I hear about you in girl's clothes?"

"Come on, now, there's no need to give up." Cameron beamed and wagged his finger at Ellery. "You and Freddy would make a pretty cute couple." he winked before looking back at Liam, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, let's go." he said and started walking towards the door. He was walking down the hallway when he saw Julian peering out through the door. "Julian?" he called out, blinking when the little boy jumped. "What're you doing?"
Julian sweatdropped and quickly got away from the doorway. Dammit, those two idiots just had to ruin his research. "I-I was... nothing!" he yelled and ran off before anyone else could see him.

"Danger never looked so good."

"Is that right?" he murmured lightly to himself. Ethan, what exactly have you done? he thought to himself before leaning away to look at Daniel. "We went over this, Daniel, his name is Ethan." he reminded until he saw Cameron hesitantly walk in. He stared at him and slowly let go of his son, his expression darkening. Hayden, himself, instantly changed when he saw him. He sat up and glared daggers at the officer. "What do you want?" he growled. "Anymore stories you want to bring up?" he growled angrily, trying hard not to attack him already.
