A talk about wishes: Part 1
It had been a while since Ciaran had been out of the house as it was Sokan that shoved him out of the house as he didn't want to hear Ciaran moping around as he knew that fresh air would be good for him and for him to finally figure things out for himself as Sokan knew he couldn't help despite on how much he did as Ciaran had to do it on his own.
At first Ciaran had just decided to walk around and not care to were it led him as he didn't know were to go as he wasn't still sure how he would tell Luthor on how he felt about him and it just make it harder when they both had a good time at the beach. Ciaran even wanted to have another fun day with Luthor but hadn't figured anything else that could top the beach fun. Looking around and found that he was at the park that was near the Labs as he wasn't really surprised to find himself there as maybe subconsciously to find Luthor there as he started to walk around the park to find a good place to think.
Luthor was sitting in his favored spot, a comfortable bench that was under the low hanging branches of a willow tree and he was listening as a woman spoke to her of her problems, of what it was that she wanted to do with her life, what she hadn't been able to do, everything that was holding her back. He gave a little nod of his head before giving a smile, "I think I could help you out." He said as he turned to facing her, withdrawing his pen from behind his ear, "Now, all I need from you is a memory. One of my choosing and I will give you a blessing that will help you to become something more then what you are currently."
The woman nodded rapidly, not even seeming to care that she might lose something important to her in the form of a memory... Oh well, it would be one more interesting thing that he could add to his collection to look over.
Walking around and finding that it was a very nice park and could see that there weren't too many people around as that was a defiantly a plus. Stopping now to get a good look around and spotted a very nice willow tree and thought it was a very nice spot. So Ciaran started to walk towards the tree, the closer he got to the tree the more his heart started to flutter as he didn't know why. But then he spotted the legs of a bench and thought he saw legs too. He wondered as he then walked towards were the bench would be and though he saw something familiar with in the branches. "Luthor?" he called out to see if what he was thing correct.
Luthor's wings gave a twitch as he heard his name called out, turning to look toward the sound of the voice and he gave a bit of a guilty look as he hadn't really shared with anyone the details of the deals he made or his price when he made them. He swallowed hard then called out, "Please give me just a moment Ciaran." He said before turning to the woman, "We will need to make this quick."
As he said that he tossed his pen into the air where it hover over the two of them before he set to work casting, going through the woman's deepest memories to find the one he found to be most interesting. As he found it there was a flash of power and the memory was instantly crystallized. The gem, a deep blue one that gave off a sad aura, he caught it in his hand before motioned to the woman, "All is done, you need only to go out into the world and things will go better for you."
Hearing his name through the tree and got a little nervous. "Ok," he stuttered a little as he then backed off from the willow tree until Luthor called him back as he didn't want to be a problem. Ciaran's tail swishing back and forth as he still didn't know when a good time would be to tell and he was very scared that he might lose Luthor if he did tell so Ciaran thought for right now it would be best not to say as if that happen he knew he would lose himself to his insanity and that was another thing he didn't want.
A moment later the women left from where she had been sitting along side Luthor and the white haired spawn turned to look toward where he could see his friend's feet and twitching tail, "Alright, you can come in now." He called out, his voice far more inviting now as he summoned his friend inside of his comfortable hiding place.
Flushing a little when he heard Luthor call him in as he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. As he turned around to catch a woman in the corner of his eye leaving as he walked towards the bench and Luthor as he wasn't going to ask if his friend didn't want to tell. Tail still twitching as he came under the tree and seeing his friend there as Ciaran sat down next to him. "So how you be?"
He looked Ciaran over before he smiled when the gray skinned spawn came to settle down next to him, "I'm doing pretty good." He said, lifting the blue jewel up to hold it up in the light, starring into the center of it at something only he seemed to be able to see before showing it to Ciaran, "Beautiful, isn't it?" He murmured, scooting closer so his friend could look the jewel over. It was a color similar to Ciaran's feathers and it would almost invoke a sense of sadness if touched. Despite that though to Luthor is was beautiful in all ways since he was so eager to see the memories of others, to see them and take them, to keep them as his own prizes in exchange for wishes.
Eying the blue crystal as it was very beautiful, as Ciaran smiled when Luthor scooted closer to him to give him a better look at the jewel. "Yes it’s very beautiful!" Ciaran murmured. He did want to touch it but he didn't as he knew it was Luthor's jewel. Ciaran could feel his envious nature rise the more he looked at the gem as he squashed the feelings away as he looked away. "It’s also good to see here as well," he said with his tail tip still twitching.
He nodded before he put it into the pouch full of gems that he carried around with him, hanging around his neck before he leaned over to rest against his friend, eyes closing for a moment. Using his powers was actually getting easier these days, the more he used the power the more he was used to using it... the problem being that he was still made tired after granting more then one wish in a day and today he'd done two. As such he wanted to laze against Ciaran for a bit while he regained his strength. He opened on eye to look over at the swishing tail before he reached a hand out to touch it then smiled a bit having always loved his tail.
Ciaran looked back to see Luthor put the jewel away in a pouch. His tail twitched more as the more curious he became wondering to were the jewel came from as it might be something that he could get or get another one for Luthor as a gift. He started to purr more loudly when Luthor rested his head on him, as he didn't mind one bit to Luthor lazing against him as he just loved that and just any close contact with his friend made him happy. Just as Luthor touched his tail it stopped twitching as much as he smiled back at Luthor and started to play with Luthor's hair. "So were did you get the beautiful jewel?" he asked hesitantly. "Also you don't have to tell if you don't want," Ciaran added quickly as he knew that Luthor might have reasons not to talk about it.
Luthor let his eyes sink closed for a moment as he seemed to be thinking for a long while on the question, "Its... a gift that woman gave me." He said, quietly then seemed to be thinking again before he opened his eyes and looked up at Ciaran, "You would think less of me if I told you why she gave it to me, because it puts me a step closer to... being like him." That particular 'him' of course being the one who's blood ran through his veins, not something that Luthor liked in the least and yet he still used the powers he inherited from him.
"Ah," Ciaran replied as that was a shame, but oh well he thought as he tried not to let his sin have its way. Ciaran thought for a second as he smiled at Luthor. As Ciaran knew that deep in his heart that Luthor would never be like 'him' as they might share blood but they were very different to Ciaran's eyes. "I would never ever think less of you, Luthor," he murred as the horned spawn was very special to him despite his blood. As who could like envy spawn that tended to go insane. "Your not like him your very nice," he said nuzzling Luthor's hair.
"You really are to nice to me." He murmured before he patted a hand against the pouch hanging around his neck that was heavy with various gems of different colors, shapes, sizes, and types. He gave a soft sighing sound as he looked up at Ciaran, "I am... not a god person like my Father is." When he used the word Father he of course meant Almas since he didn't think of Vampy in such a manner, "I... do some of the same things, have some of the same habits as... 'he' does."
He sat up before he turned to look at Ciaran, opening his mouth, paused, then seemed to think on it before he opened he pouch to let him look inside at the various gems that were within it, "They were all given to me by the people I have met here in the park, a couple at the Labs, and a couple from other spawn." He started to explain, wanting to tell someone, anyone about what the gems were. If there was someone he could tell it would be Ciaran.
"But you have also been nice to me as well," he replied with a smiles as it was Luthor help him get out of his insanity and that was special to Ciaran. "But that doesn’t matter if your not. It’s good that you have some of the same things as your father. So what if you do, at least you know what is good and know that you won't repeat the same mistakes as 'he' does as you know what they are," Ciaran said. "I trust you fully with your decisions as what you feel is right and wrong and that is all that really matters to me. As I know you are good," he added as he smile and gave a wag of his tail. Watching Luthor open the pouch and then took a look inside of the pouch and found all of them beautiful. "Wow they are all so beautiful and that is very nifty," he said as he looked to Luthor. "I know they are jewels but what are they exactly?" he asked.
He picked on of them up, the one that meant that most to him, the darkly colored purple that he had gotten first from Pepper, "These are... crystallized memories, taken from people I have made deals with." He murmured, looking into the dark one, able to see what it contained within it and then sighed, "This one... was the first I took, one that was taken not for a contract but to make someone important to me happy... but it seemed to be the first step toward a bit of an addiction to them... I can look into them and see the memory, see things that I have never seen before, never experienced, will never be able to experience. Things like love, having children, a broken heart, a fight, or even one I have of someone who was attacked by a demon that 'he' once made a deal with for a sample of blood." He murmured, hugging the dark gem to his chest before he replaced it into his pouch.
Ciaran's eyes went wide with amazement as he never knew that one could crystallize memories as that was fascinating to the gray skinned spawn. "That is very cool," he said as he listened more to what Luthor had to say as his tail wagged contently. From the things that Ciaran was being told was very interesting to him and that he was going to remember this if he ever wanted to make a deal with his friend. Then his tail then stopped wagging and went stiff and a little nervous when he heard that Luthor wouldn't experience 'love' as Ciaran thought now it would total be much harder for him to tell Luthor how he felt as he tried not to let that feeling overwhelm him and he blabbed it. "That is very kind of you to do that for the one you care for and very cool to experience things that you haven't experienced," he murred as it would be cool. "It might be an addition but you are doing good and making others happy while you enjoy what you have never seen," Ciaran added as he watched Luthor put the dark gem back into the pouch. "Have you ever wanted to wear them besides them being in that pouch?"
He gave a smile it made him happy that his friend seemed to think that the memory crystals were cool. He nodded as he patted the pouch full of them, "They are very special to me... I can tell that making the deals, collecting the crystals is making my magic stronger but that isn't the only reason that I am collecting them.... though I know that I have a strange desire to get more and more of them, I try my best not to make bad deals though. I don't want to taint my magic by making it do evil."

A talk about wishes: Part 2
He looked up at Ciaran and he seemed to think on what he asked before giving a little shrug, "I haven't thought on it... I am a little afraid to lose even one of them so I always keep them with me like this." He explained, never leaving them behind as he didn't want to risk even one of the precious memories.
"As they should, that is very cool effect of the gems," Ciaran said as he thought on a reason for Luthor's want for more. "It could be because of your blood, but I think its because there are lots of experiences that you have never seen and for the fact that the same experiences by different people are always going to be different and you just want to experience everything that you can," he replied. "That is very good as there is always going to be more good than evil its just good isn't always going to be seen as much as evil does," Ciaran added. As he thought of Dritan to make something that could display his treasures and keep them all on him. "I can see that would be scary for it to happen. But I know of another spawn that makes beautiful things and I think that he could at least make a necklace or a choker that could house one of your gems as you keep the rest in the pouch and then could switch them out when ever you like," The gray skin spawn suggested.
Luthor smiled before he leaned into his friend once more when it seemed that Ciaran wasn't going to reject him despite the fact that he was doing some things similar to what Vampy did. He didn't see him as something to fear or dislike which had the white haired spawn so very happy. His wings gave a flutter and he nuzzled against his friend as he seemed to forget once more about the fact that normal people had personal space issues. He'd never really thought about them, always used to getting close to those he liked, laying with them, holding hands, and the like. He was innocent in his friendliness at least unlike some spawn out there, "I am glad that you came to the park and talked to me, Ciaran."
He tilted his head to the side at mention that he had a friend that could make a necklace for him to wear his jewels in and he seemed to be thinking on that, "Really? I wonder... that might be nice, it would certainly be pretty." He mused out loud as he tried to decide if he dared to wear them around.
Ciaran's tail started to wag more as he was really happy and for the fact that he really liked Luthor laying on him as he felt safe from his insanity as it retreated far away to were he felt normal. Purring as Luthor gave nuzzles as he just wanted this to last forever as he played with Luthor's hair more as it was so soft as he also petted his wings too. Ciaran also use to have personal space but after going insane it’s none existence. "Me too, Luthor. As I really like talking and being with you," he replied.
"I would think so, but sometime later I will have to introduce you to him and see what he can do and it would be pretty," Ciaran replied. As it could be something different to carry his gems around if he wanted to wear them around in the open.
"It’s a shame we are in the middle of a park, I would like to curl up with you a nap. It’s always nicest to nap when someone else is nearby... but I don't know about sleeping on a bench in the park... it worries me a little as I don't want to lose my gems." He murmured, not really thinking it strange that he wanted to curl up with Ciaran. He just knew that he enjoyed it more then anything else, knowing that it would be quite nice as he remembered when he was able to do so with Ciaran, like when he'd spent some time with him at his place when they were younger.
"That is true, but we could always go back to my place as you are always welcome there as you do have a key to get in," Ciaran suggested purring with content as a nap would be nice and even more so with Luthor. It had been a fun time with Luthor at his place.
He nodded, hand going to where he had the key hidden beneath his shirt before he turned to look up at Ciaran, "Could we go to your place? I... could invite you back to mine but... I would rather not ask you to go there." He murmured, wings giving a flutter, "Besides your place is far more comfortable and peaceful." It had a kind aura about it, not the cold one that the Labs had in the air around it. He would rather go back to Ciaran's place for a while if the other spawn really wanted him there.
"Yep! Well if you did I would still go with you," he replied as he once said he would follow Luthor anywhere and that was true still now. "That is very true, as I would think that even Sokan might be out doing his own things," he added as it was about that time Sokan did go out to do something that even he didn't know and wasn't going to ask about it. He didn't even know how Sokan would react to him being back to the house after being kicked out for sulking. "Some on, it’s not too far of a walk," Ciaran said as he tussled Luthor's hair.
He gave a smile before e pushed himself up to his feet, stretching out all over, then opened his wings up to their fullest before he gave them a flutter, "Alright, lets go." He said, holding a hand out to his friend, not seeming to think about it or the fact that it might be odd to outsiders seeing to young men their age walking around holding hands. All he cared about was getting to walk with Ciaran first and foremost.
Watching Luthor stretching all out especially his wings as Ciaran still was very envious of them but knew they looked better on his friend. "Lets," Ciaran answered as he reached out to take Luthor hand and didn't care one bit to what others thought. As Ciaran took the white haired spawn to his place. After a short walk they both arrived and Ciaran saw that Sokan was out which make him happy. "Come on it looks that Sokan is out and if you want a snack before the nap just say," he asked.
Luthor perked up a little as they arrived, looking up at Ciaran's place which seemed... so inviting where as the place he came from didn't at all. He looked up at his friend, wings fluttering, then stepped in closer to him and nodded, "A snack? Really?" He asked, sounding for a moment almost child like in his eagerness at the mention of having a snack before they napped, it sounded like a perfect idea to him!
Ciaran gave a giggle as it was just so cute to how Luthor acted some times as his tail gave a wag. "Yep and I think that there is something tasty in the fridge," he replied as he took Luthor to the kitchen. When there he let go of the white hair spawns hand as he went the fridge, opened it and started to look and dig around to find something good as his tail wagged behind him as he looked. A few minutes later bring out two chocolate mousses that had some fruit mixed in. "These are really good as they were just made last night," he said as Ciaran gave one to Luthor and walking over to get a spoon and handed one to Luthor.
Luthor happily followed along after his friend to the kitchen, peeking over his shoulder to see into the fridge before his wings set to fluttering. They always had such good food here, so much better then what could be found at the Labs he thought to himself, then smiled as he withdrew some chocolate moose and fruit which only had his wing flapping that much more eagerly, "That looks really good." He murmured, taking the one that was held out to him along with the spoon and happy dug into the treat.
Happy that Luthor liked the treat as he started to eat his own as he did feel a little guilty that he was keeping hidden on how he truly felt when Luthor told him about his granting wishes, but maybe later he would tell but not now. "I'm glad that you like," he said as his tail was wagging happily. Once done Ciaran put the dish in the sink as he would get to those later on. "Also I got some new bedding and it’s really soft," Ciaran said as he waited for Luthor to finish.
Luthor made sure to clean out his bowl completely, to the point of using his fingers to get the last bit of chocolate out of the bowl before licking them clean. When he was done and his bowl was licked clean, he put it into the sink to follow after his friend, "Really? That sounds nice." He said as he followed after his friend in a curious manner, wanting to see the new better he had gotten for himself. It seemed like ages since he'd been here but it was just as comfortable as ever, something that he rather liked as he felt himself relaxing the more longer he was in the calming place.
"Yep," he said leading Luthor up the stairs to the up part of the house to where there were lots of rooms as they pasted up the first door that was near the stairs and down the hall to Ciaran's room and opened the door and walked it to the room. There still wasn't too much on the walls as Ciaran didn't know what he wanted to decorate the room but there were some nice curtains on the window on the far wall that also included darker ones to make the room dark when Ciaran wanted the room dark. The bed was a nice shade of green with lots of pillows on the bed. "So how do you like?" Ciaran asked as he walked over to the bed and picked up one of he pillows and threw it at Luthor.
Luthor found himself looking around Ciaran's room, finding that it was far more inventing then any room in the Labs could possibly be, it also looked so relaxing that he couldn't help but to enjoy it. He found himself walking toward the bed when the pillow that was tossed his way bounced off of him, drawing a little gasp from the spawn as he fumbled with it and barely caught it before he dropped it. He starred down at it for a moment, looked over at Ciaran... then gave a playful sort of grin as he took a page out of Pepper's book as he tried to pounce on the gray skinned spawn.
Ciaran was giggling when the pillow hit home as his tail was wagging behind him in a lazy manor as he was unaware that Luthor was going to pounce him. Giving a little squeak when he heard and saw Luthor coming towards him but did have enough time to do anything but let it happen, but giggled all the time as this was fun.
Luthor gave a happy sound as he was able to pounce on Ciaran, knocking the to of them to a safe landing on the bed before he set to laughing, "I can see why Pepper likes to do that so much." He said with a laugh, sitting up a bit so that he could stare down at his friend before lifting his hands up above his head in a victory pose, wings fluttering in delight at what he saw as a win.
Ciaran was still giggling on the bed as he found it cute that Luthor was victory pose for his win as he did like it as his tail was wagging a mile a minute. "I see too as that was fun," Ciaran answered as he reached out to pet his fluttering wings.
Luthor lowered his arms down as Ciaran set to petting his wings and he gave a smile, finding the petting to be rather nice, soothing, and enjoyable feeling so he couldn't help but to lean himself into it, wings opening more to press against the other spawn's hand. The wings were, in the scheme of things, still quite new and as such he was still getting used to them in some situations, like now it had him thinking that he had never really noticed how nice it was when someone pet them... then again only this one person ever did. He wondered if that had some bearing on the situation, really he wasn't sure.
Ciaran purr as Luthor leaned into his petting of his wings as he just loved them as they were just so perfect and looked lovely on the white haired spawn, as they were so soft and very different to his own feathers. Ciaran smiled back up to Luthor as he pulled lightly on his arm to lay down and to were Ciaran could pet Luthor's wings a little easier and knowing that his friend also wanted to take a nap.
Luthor didn't make any move to struggle, in fact he was more then happy to curl up carefully on his side, cuddling up close to his friend and let his eyes close as he felt the hand petting over his wings. He was rather content where he was though for the first time ever Luthor felt his heart start to race in a manner he didn't really understand, it wasn't an unpleasant feeling, it was just a new on. He shifted closer to Ciaran so he could rest closer to him but seemed to be ever aware of the fact that he had a sharp horn, something he didn't want to accidentally poke his friend with.
Ciaran purred as Luthor cuddled next to him as he continued to pet his wings as his own eyes started to close. It was so nice to have Luthor so close that Ciaran moved to be closer and careful around his friend’s horn. Even now it was even harder to keep from telling Luthor on how he felt, but just the though of losing him kept Ciaran from telling. "Lets nap for a little, as this is so nice," Ciaran murred softly.
There was a happy sort of sound from the white haired spawn as he relaxed in his friend's hold and it didn't seem to take to terribly long at all before he was sleeping peacefully, able to rest without any sort of worry which allowed him to sleep more comfortably then he had in some time. Due to his living conditions he seemed to be always on edge, never able to really get the rest that he desired... but at the moment he seemed to be making up for it. One of his wings wrapped around himself and Ciaran in a protective manner as he snoozed away.
Purring more softly and deeply as Ciaran was very happy and felt so safe wrapped up with Luthor as most of the time he could feel his insanity lurking around waiting to come to ahead but right now it was far away not threatening to take over Ciaran's life. Seeing that his friend was all but asleep when they were wrapped in one of Luthor's wings as with the last of his strength as he was all but asleep pulled a free blanket that was near by and managed to get it over the both of them before succumbing to sleep.

Deep Confession: Part 1
Waking up to some unknown internal alarm clock, One of Ciaran opened one of his eyes to see that it was still light outside but different. His other eye opened up to see that Luthor was still next to him sleeping as a small part of him thought it might have been a dream that Luthor was there. Ciaran purred softly as he snuggled closer to Luthor as he didn't want to wake up Luthor right now as this was just so nice and Ciaran knew if Luthor woke up that he might want to go home and Ciaran didn't want him to leave as Ciaran liked it when he was with Luthor as those were the best of times.
Luthor gave a murmuring sound in his sleep when he felt the warmth of his friend shift a bit next to him, it seemed to come in closer though which didn't really rouse him to terribly much, had the warmth pulled away he would likely have be brought forth out of his sleep by it. His wings flapped a bit even as he dreamed about the many things that his mind were always going through, worries and desires, things he wanted and other things he felt he wouldn't be allowed to have. He gave a murmuring sound in his throat before his hands reached out to the warmth that was laying next to him, catching hold of him, and then his arms slid around him to pull Ciaran closer so they were flush together. Only then did he seem to grow content again.
Ciaran partly asleep again wakes again to the murmuring sounds of his friend and found that they were also soothing and opened one of his eyes again to see that Luthor fluttered his wings in his sleep which Ciaran thought was cute as his own tail gave a little wag. Ciaran purred a little more when he felt Luthor's hands wrapped around himself but gave a little meep when Luthor pulled him even closer as he also blushed a little being so close together but purred and wrapped his own tail around Luthor. As this was a new experience for him to being so close to Luthor and he loved it.
The little sound that Ciaran made when he pulled him close caused Luthor to murmured in his sleep before his lips turned up into a bit of a smile, wings fluttering again. The sound of his voice seemed to change his dream just a little bit. It took some time but slowly his eyes opened up and he looked around, fluttering as though he weren't completely awake. He gave a happy, sleepy sort of smile, "Mmm... Ciaran." He murmured, shifting closer so he could nuzzle against his friend's shoulder, ever so carefully so as not to poke him with his horn, and then he settled down again though he didn't seem to doze off, just relaxed in a content manner instead.
Ciaran smiled when he saw Luthor open his eyes. "Good morning, Luthor. Have a good sleep?" he murred still not fully awake himself as he purred as Luthor nuzzled him as his tail wrapped Luthor some more as it was nice and warm and didn't want to move.
Luthor's body shifted a little as the sound of Ciaran's voice woke him up more completely before he realized where he was, wrapped around his friend rather tightly and was wrapped up by Ciaran in turn, it was something that made him smile, "Nice and warm." He murmured, the thought escaping from him before he was able to recall it or even say something more intelligent. Saying such a thing caused his cheeks to pinken a bit from embarrassment, oops.
All Ciaran did was smile as he knew it was true as he was thinking the same thing. "That is good," he murmured back. "We don't have to move anytime soon," he added as Ciaran smiled more and tried to keep blushing himself. Ciaran wished he could tell the white hair spawn on how he felt as waking up like his was very nice way to start a day.
"Good." He murmured, "I think I could stay like this for a while." In fact he felt absolutely no desire to move from where he was laying at the moment. At home he would likely be up and about, would be heading out to see about finding food, checking on his Dad, making sure things were in order, making a deal, arguing with the blood donor, and so on and so forth. He didn't feel like he could relax at home, if he was moving at all times he felt as though he had a chance at standing up against the blood donor, becoming someone that could stand strong against him without feeling always like a child. He knew he wasn't as old as the man was, as strong as he was, their magic was even vastly different.
Here none of that mattered though, he felt as though he could just... relax and enjoy himself, and to be able to curl up with someone like this again was nice. It had been a long time since he'd done this with Pepper since he always seemed to have other things to do these days that didn't involve nap time... home really was just lonely these days since Almas had started to serve Vampy again.
Ciaran smiled bigger when he heard that Luthor didn't want to move anytime soon. This was great as Ciaran mentally did a victory dance in his head. "That is good," Ciaran replied. As this had been a good nap as he didn't once wake up with a cold sweat from his nightmare and then not wanting to go back to sleep because of them and those had been happening with more frequency as of late. To the fact that sometimes Sokan gave him stuff to help him sleep better. "So is there anything else that you would like to talk about?" he asked.
"I was... thinking. A lot of people hate Vampy..." He murmured, hands moving to Ciaran's chest, fingertips brushing against it in a thoughtful manner, "I've always worried... that if knew who I was that they would hate me too... I learned that my fear was true after Duncan gave me the scars on my belly..." He paused for a moment as though thinking before continuing, "I try to be different, even to keep my magic untainted like his is... his magic feels terrible to be near... but I wonder if I should do more for those who were born where we were, in hopes of trying to make up for my bloodline.”
A pleasant shiver went down Ciaran's spine when Luthor brushed fingertips brushed on his chest. As he thought on what Luthor was saying and did know of Duncan's anger towards Vampy and on to Luthor. "There are, but that is something that you can’t help if they do find out," he said as he didn't hate Vampy just feared him. "There will be some that will hate just because of who you are but there will be some that don't care as they do see the differences that the both of you are very different. You just have to be yourself and don't worry to what others think as that is something that you cant help and I feel bad for those that think that you are the same as him as you are a much better person and so kind. That is the difference you care for others and he doesn’t as I think that he really just care for himself," Ciaran added as he reached over and put his hand on Luthor's cheek. "Only if they ask as you can’t force them. But you make up for your bloodline in being nice and kind to those that you have met. Just be yourself that is all that really matter,"
"Do you... do you really believe that?" He murmured, sounding a touch excited and uncertain about the idea that there might be those that would see him as a good person that wouldn't look down on him for who he was. Likely there were just as many who would hate him as those who might like him, just how Ciaran liked him and Duncan didn't. He gave a smile, "Thank you... I want to believe it... I want to be better then he is, more then he is. He was such a failure as a Fa..." He gave a choked sound and lifted a hand to his mouth when that word attempted to escape him when it came to that man, "I didn't know until I was half grown... and I am a little scared to think what might have happened, what I might have become if he had bothered to show interest in me instead of ignoring me."
"Yes I do," Ciaran answered softly but sternly. "Don't let all the negative thoughts get you down as you cant control others but you can control yourself and for the fact that you don't want to be like him you wont despite what some might think or say as you will never let it happen," Ciaran said as caressed Luthor's face with his hand. "Your welcome and you will you will see to that," he answered as he warmly smiled at Luthor. "That was in the past, don't dwell in the past as it has already happened for the better, Look to the future and make it a great one," Ciaran added as he knew it was true as he himself was still living in his past with his insanity as it wasn't going to let him forget that he could still fall back and potentially be lost in the sea of shattered dreams. "Fate is a funny thing as well it works in weird ways and can never predict on how things are going to go, one just has to go with the flow of things or that is what Sokan told me one,"

Deep Confessions: Part 2
Luthor seemed to be thinking on something deeply as Ciaran spoke to him, "Future, huh? Hmm..." He murmured, then glanced at Ciaran for a moment, away, then back again, "Do you... ahh..." His wings set to fluttering rather rapidly as though he couldn't quite seem to bring himself to say what he was thinking, something that was always in the back of his mind, bothering him.
He gave a thoughtful sound. One could never predict the way things were going to go... what an interesting thought and as he thought on it his fingers traced along one of Ciaran's scars on his chest, one that he was the cause of due to having been so mixed up that day. He had almost cost Ciaran is life, something he couldn't quite forgive himself for, "Ciaran... you know... someday I wanna... wanna have a baby..." He said, not looking his friend in the face as he admitted such a thing since it was always something he didn't think he could do, to carry on his bloodline when he was a little afraid of it himself, "I worry that I should though... that he or she might end up more like... like him instead of me." But as Ciaran said, the future couldn't be predicted, right?
Ciaran listened intently to what Luthor was trying to say and was just a little puzzled to why he kept looking at him, looking away and then back at him, but just kept on smiling warmly at Luthor as he thought over the behavior as it was strange but something he did know himself deep down. He cocked his head to the side to see if Luthor would say what he was trying to say and his own heart gave a flutter for a reason unknown to Ciaran.
Ciaran gave a little giggle as Luthor traced one of his scars, as Ciaran never blamed Luthor for them as it was his own fault for wanting to prove himself as it was because of himself not Luthor fault. When hearing that Luthor wanted a baby Ciaran flushed so deep that his cheeks turned darker gray with a touch of pink and burned with how he felt for the white haired spawn and to what that spawn wanted. Ciaran squeaked a few times trying to reply "Well Sokan does say that genetics are a funny thing nothing that can be predicted by anyone, but for the most part a child mostly resembles there parents," Ciaran did finally said with a few squeaks in there still blushing away.
"I want to believe it but... the power in my family... its hard to control at times, I would hate to give that power to my child... to force them to have to tame it the same way that I did." He murmured, wings giving a little flutter before he went back to tracing his fingers over the markings on Ciaran's skin again as he thought about it, "Still... seeing Adriel when he was carrying his baby, he seemed so... happy." He wondered if he would be able to be happy over such a thing, would he be happy? Worried? He wasn't really sure... on top of that he didn't think he wanted to live at the Labs if he had one, "I think I would need to move out if I ever decided to really have one."
Ciaran still blushing as it was really hard this time to make it go away as part of him screamed out just to get it over and just tell but the other part was a little afraid to do so as he flexed his toes trying to decide as it was hard to speak without the words wanting to come out. "So, they might have to tame that power but they wouldn't be alone in doing so, they would have you to help them out unlike the help you didn't get from him," he answered. Purring more with delight with Luthor traceing his scars making so much hard as his will was starting to melt. "He was" Ciaran answered as he had also wanted to experience that as it would be such a good experience to have with the one you loved. "That is true and you are always welcome here,"
Luthor's wings gave a flutter, "That's true... I wouldn't leave my child alone with such a power... I don't understand why he could." He muttered, wings twitching before he shifted to hug himself closer to Ciaran who was so nice and warm, always so kind and welcoming. That he could be this way with him when he said he feared Vampy was strange to him but it also helped Luthor a lot since it meant that at least one person could care for him despite his parentage.
"Welcome here? That sounds nice... though would you and Sokan really be alright with that? Especially if there was a baby?" He asked, curiously.
"Who knows and I know that you will do better. Also the child might not get those powers too" Ciaran replied. Ciaran purred more when Luthor hugged him as heart was fluttering fast as every moment it was getting harder and harder. "Yes," he stammered feeling himself getting warm but it was so nice to be this close to Luthor. "Yes we would as there is plenty of space as I have all of the space upstairs and most of the spaced in the basement is Sokan's except for some storage and the laundry room," he replied biting his and drawing a little blood in wanting to tell and not wanting to.
"Mmm, you could be right... mixed with my Dad's blood first and then again I think the power would be pretty diluted by then." He murmured, that would be nice if his child didn't have to worry about the power he thought to himself, eyes sinking close as he thought on it before his wings set to fluttering again, "It would be good if the power ran to thin to move on to my child, I don't resent my magic, it helps me to help others but... I think I would rather my child not have it."
He lifted his gaze to look up at Ciaran before he smiled when Ciaran seemed to not mind the idea of his family moving in with him, "Well... it wouldn't happen any time soon but... maybe one day. Best we talk to Sokan about it first though, to get his thoughts on the idea." He said, then nuzzled against Ciaran again happily.
"I think that it would," he replied as he was bursting at the seams with his own feelings in loving Luthor as he found Luthor so beautiful and for the fact that he saved him from his insanity. "That is a very good thought," Ciaran replied but knew that there was a chance that it could happen.
As he locked eyes with Luthor his armored will broke as Luthor was telling him all of these things and for the fact that he had been holding out on a secret of his own and Ciaran wanted to be open with him and for the fact that Ciaran wanted Luthor to move in but was scared none the less as he didn't want to lose Luthor but hated keeping his feeling hided after talk about Luthor's want of a child. "I don't think that he would mind but it’s a good idea," he replied. "I also have something to tell you, but you can’t laugh about it," Ciaran asked very nervously.
He drew back a little to look at Ciaran, a look of interest on his face, "You can tell me anything Ciaran!" He told him, giving him a smile and his wings set to fluttering as he said that. He blinked a couple times before giving a pout, "I wouldn't laugh at you, surely you know that?" He said, sticking his tongue out at his friend before smiling at him. He really wanted for Ciaran to be able to tell him anything in the same way that he felt like he could tell his friend anything, for them to be on equal footing and to be able to share anything.
Ciaran heart fluttered lots more now like it was going to burst out of his chest as he nodded as he tried to at least calm himself down at least a little. "I know that but this is a lot harder to tell you," he replied still very nervous as he gave a smile in return keeping down his fear as he knew he didn't know what would happen but he didn't want the worst to happen at all.
"Well..." he stared nervously and started playing with his fingers and his want to also bolt and hide as he truly wanted to be open with Luthor. Breathing deep and if he said it quick he could get it over with. "I really love lots, Luthor," he quickly said as now it was all in the open.
Luthor looked startled, "Love... me?" He asked, sounding as though he were surprised, never having expected that from anyone. He seemed to be rather... shocked and the suddenly his cheeks started to burn as he found himself so very embarrassed. He was talking about wanting to have a child a moment ago to someone who loved him? Oops... normally talk of children came after confession of feelings he thought to himself before he pushed his embarrassment aside as he tried to get his thoughts together.
"I... I am... surprised. I never... though anyone would love someone like me... because of who I am related to and what I can do..." He whispered, to think that Ciaran actually... loved him. He couldn't help it as his arms went from where they rested against Ciaran's chest to slid around him, hugging the other spawn tightly.
'Yes!" He said with a little more confidence than when he confessed his love as Ciaran blushed more as that is how he truly felt even if there was a small fight to figure that one out.
Ciaran purr out loud his content when Luthor hugged him tightly as this is what he wanted as he then wrapped his arms around Luthor and hugged not wanting to let go. "So was I, I even got in a fight with a friend and realized that I did and it has been so hard to not tell you how I felt for fear of losing you,"
Loved. He was loved, not just by his father but by someone else entirely and in a different way entirely, this wasn't the same sort of love that he got from Almas, not the familial type of love but... real love. He nuzzled against his friend's cheek in a gentle, affectionate manner, "T-Thank you... it means... so much to me, that you could actually feel such a thing for me its... it’s just so very... amazing." He whispered, turning his head to press a kiss to Ciaran's cheek.
What about him? What did he feel? How did he feel about Ciaran? He cared for him, he was his best friend, the person he as most comfortable around, the only one he could curl up with like this, he liked him, loved him... he felt his eyes flutter closed and he gave a smile as the strong feelings always associated with Ciaran seemed to get a label. He gave a happy sort of sound in his throat, "Me... me too, Ciaran." He murmured, in a somewhat breathless manner, "I love you."

Deep Confessions: Part 3
Ciaran flushed a little more when Luthor kissed his cheek as it felt so good as his tail-tip was wagging at his happiness. "I should be the one to thank you as you mean so much to me," he replied as he nuzzled Luthor.
Once hearing the word come from Luthor that he also loved him Ciaran go so very excited that now he didn't have to worry about losing the one he care for so much the one that keeps him sane. "Ya, I love you," Ciaran replied as it felt so good to say again. As Ciaran moved in close to give Luthor a kiss on the lips as it was something that he had never done but had seen others do and thought it was a good time for it..
Luthor's cheeks burned as he was kissed and he happily responded, returning the gesture in an excited and eager manner. He'd only had a couple kisses in all of his life and this one meant the very most to him since it was a kiss exchanged out of love between the two of them. His fingers kneaded against Ciaran's back for a moment before he drew back, flushing a little, "I am... I hope what I said earlier wasn't to... erm... embarrassing for me to talk about first before what you confessed to me." He murmured shyly.
So very happy when Luthor returned the kiss as it was so nice as it made him feel like he was floating on the clouds. A little sad when Luthor drew back but he knew there would be more of that. "That was so good," he said in a whisper as he didn't know a kiss would feel so good as he flushed a little too. "It was but at the same times it wasn't but it had been hard not to tell after talking about that, but I don't care it happened and all for the good,"
The white haired spawn smiled and snuggled against Ciaran again, wings fluttering in a happy manner, "Mmm, yes. Very good." He murmured, glad that he had admitted such a thing since it had resulted in them confessing their feelings to each other in such a manner. Thinking on it made him only want to protect Ciaran more as well from any of the dangers that the Labs and the one in charge of them could present. He didn't want to think that Vampy would hurt Ciaran to cause Luthor pain but Luthor didn't trust the man in the least... as such he felt the overwhelming desire to keep the gray skinned spawn safe that much more then before when they had just been friends.
The gray skinned spawn murred when Luthor snuggled him as he snuggled in return as his tail was wagging happily as this was the best day in the world and now he had nothing he was hiding from Luthor that make him feel so much better. Maybe now he might not have his nightmares, but he didn't really know but for now knew that they would stay.
Just then Ciaran could barely hear that there was shouting coming from downstairs as he was so wrapped up with Luthor that his sense of time wasn't working. "So are the both of you coming down for breakfast or not," Sokan's voice said again were they both of them could hear it now. "So do you want some breakfast, love," Ciaran said as he loved the sound of that as he gave Luthor another quick kiss.
Luthor gave a little nod of his head, glancing in the direction of Sokan's voice then back again, "Breakfast sounds nice." He murmured, cheeks a little flushed due to being given such a nice nickname by Ciaran. His flush only made to grow deeper by the kiss he was given, "Lets go then, before we make Sokan upset with us." He sat up slowly and a little reluctantly as he'd been quite comfortable there in Ciaran's arms and in his bed, but if Sokan had made food for them it was only right that they go and eat it instead of spending all day lazing around he thought to himself with a little smile on his lips.
"It does," he replied as he didn't want to let go of Luthor but just then his tummy rumbled tell him that it wanted some food. As Ciaran found it cute when Luthor flushed as he was also blushing as well but so good was that kiss. "That sounds like a good idea but I doubt that he would get upset with us," he replied as he let go of Luthor and got up off the bed and offered to take Luthor's hand before heading down stairs with a smile on his face as he was so happy.
Once down there and in the kitchen as the table was set for them with eggs, hash browns, toast and juice. As Sokan slithered by when they entered not saying anything but with a huge smile on his face as he went off to the study.
Luthor smiled as he laced his fingers with those of the gray skinned spawn, giving his hand a squeeze before he followed along after him, a rather happy look on his face as they walked along in a rather comfortable silence. His eyes turned to look over at Sokan as the man slithered passed, wings giving a little flutter as he saw the smile on his face. He blinked a couple times then turned to look over at Ciaran, "You know... there are times I think he knows a whole lot more then anyone else in the world does." He murmured to his Ciaran, it was as though he already knew what was going on between the two of them at just a glance. He always had seemed like someone who was a step ahead of everything else and everyone else though.
Just smiling bigger when Ciaran also saw the smile on his face as Ciaran knew he knew more and wasn't going to say anything just yet. "I think that you are right as there are times I get the same feeling. It just might be because he is older than we are or something to that effect," Ciaran answered Luthor as he led Luthor to the table as he didn't want to let go of Luthor's hand but did to pull out the chair for the white haired spawn to sit. "I also don't know everything about Sokan, but he is fascinating as it also could be a sense that his race developed because of living in the deep ocean," He suggested as Ciaran really didn't know.
Luthor nodded before he settled down in the chair that was pulled out for him. His wings gave a little flutter as he looked down at all of the good food, "Food here is always so good." He murmured to himself before his attention was back on the gray skinned spawn again, "Well even if he is able to read us so easily I don't think it’s a bad thing since he’s a good person." He'd be more worried of someone like Vampy with that sort of power...
"That is very true," Ciaran murred as he tussled Luthor's hair before he sat down right next to Luthor. "So what do you want to try first," he asked as he picked up the jug of juice and poured himself and Luthor a glass of orange juice. Thinking for a second. "So I wonder to when do you want to movie in?" Ciaran asked as he would like Luthor to move in really soon but knew that it might not happen as he wasn't going to pressure Luthor too much about it as Ciaran was happy to know that he loved Luthor and he loved him.
He looked across the food before reaching a hand out to where it was sitting and picked up a piece of toast, pulling it over to him to take a bite. He was chewing on it when Ciaran asked him about moving in and he gave a little cough, "Move in...? Ahh..." He seemed to think on it for a moment, "Before I went back to the Labs because I worried for my Dad, for Pepper but now I think that they will be alright. I worry still because my Dad, for some silly reason, went back to Vampy when the guy extended a hand to him. I fear he will end up in trouble but I can't really stop him... he is full grown after all."
He poked at an egg with the corner of his toast before smiling, "These look good too." He murmured, feeling a little bad for bringing up his messed up family again.
Ciaran listened to what Luthor said as it was good that he worried about his dad as Ciaran also liked Almas and still didn't understand to way he liked Vampy. "It doesn’t have to be now only when you are ready to do so," Ciaran said quickly as did feel a little bad for asking. "That is true, but you want to do what you can to protect you dad, which is understandable." he said soothingly.
Picked up the plate of hash browns and serving himself some. "They do," he answered moving the plate of eggs closer to Luthor. "Do you want some hash browns?"
He gave a smile, wings fluttering, "I would need to talk with Dad before I did that... and likely 'him' as well. I am sure he will think I am abandoning my Dad though by leaving or mock me in various other ways." He didn't like it but a part of him deep down knew that staying in the Labs forever wasn't a good of safe idea when it came to sanity's sake, he knew that he was over protective of his father and always argued with Vampy whenever they crossed paths. If he were going to ever live his own life he couldn't do it there.
"Let me talk with them and I will come to you." He said, giving Ciaran a smile before he looked at the eggs before scraping some of them onto his plate with a smile before nodding about the hash browns, "Yes, please."
Smiling back at Luthor. "That would be a good idea, but be careful when you do talk to 'him'," Ciaran answered as his tail wagged a little bit. "Ok and you can always go and visit your Dad once you do move in," he added as then he thought that he would need to also get the house in order too as well as to talk with Sokan about Luthor moving in. As he also served Luthor up some of the hash browns onto his plate and put it back down on the table. Grabbing some toast for himself and putting some catsup on his hash browns.
He gave a slow nod of his head, "I will be as careful as I can." He didn't think that Vampy would try to force him to stay but he really didn't trust him regardless of that. He gave a little sigh, "I almost wish he would come with us but... I know that he wouldn't do that." He murmured, as much as he wished it he knew that something more then just his affection for Vampy kept Almas in the Labs. He wished he could figure out what exactly that was.
He gave a sharp flap of his wings to try to push aside the thoughts as he dug into his meal, deciding he would enjoy the good atmosphere instead of worry about things that were ahead of him.
"Good," Ciaran replied quickly giving Luthor a kiss on the cheek. "That would be cool, maybe he might at a later time," Ciaran suggested.
Tail swaying gently behind him as he ate his fill of all of the food that was set on the table. All of it was so good and Ciaran thought that for Luthor's first meal here once he moves in he was going to make it for them. Just as they were finishing up there meal Sokan slithers in to put some of his own dishes into the dishwasher and giggled slightly at how cute the both of them were. "Well you know that the fall harvest is coming up. You could do something special for that time of the year," Sokan suggested as he leaned up on the counter. Turning to look at Sokan as he looked at him he came up with a good idea to something that Luthor had mentioned when they were talking upstairs. "I have a good idea for something we could do for the other spawns, is to throw a huge party away from the Labs to were they can just have lots of fun," Ciaran said as he turned to look back at Luthor.
Luthor's eyes went wide and his cheeks reddened a little at the kiss before he turned to look over at Ciaran, giving him a smile. He couldn't help but to feel so content at the moment, to be so close to the one that he cared about, it had his heart racing in his chest. He shook his head to do his best to clear it so that he could eat without fear of choking on his meal due to distraction.
He looked up from what he was doing as Sokan arrived, giving the snake tailed man a smile before he listed to what he was saying, something special for the Fall Harvest? That would be nice he thought to himself, then turned to look over at Ciaran as he filled in an idea where he'd been drawing a bit of a blank himself. A party for the other spawn from the Labs? He tilted his head to one side in a thoughtful manner before nodding, "That would... that would actually be very neat." He murmured, lips turning up into a smile just thinking about the fun that they could have there, "That would be nice, especially having it set away from the Labs so everyone can just relax."
Ciaran just smiled as he found that Luthor was really cute when he blushed. As he also found that he liked giving and getting kisses from Luthor as he liked that feeling.
"It would be and it would also be good for the younger spawn to meet other of the same age and for the other older spawn to get to know the younger spawn and those that are there friends as well and that is so very true," Ciaran answered.
"Well if it’s going to be a party for all the spawn have it Halloween themed with fun stuff for both the older spawns and the younger ones as well. As I can summon up some Drake Sprites to make the mood spooky," Sokan said as his own Drake sprite made an appearance and checking out Luthor as Sokan smiled. "When they are put into a lantern they will glow brightly and other colors could be made too," Sokan suggested.
Luthor listened in on the ideas that both Ciaran and Sokan helpfully offered up, something that had him soon offering up a few ideas here and there himself. It was... pretty excited really, knowing that they were planning something so special. It would be an interesting process since there would a lot of work involved but Luthor was certain that it would be worth it, the first real step on the path toward hopefully, one day, making up for the blood that ran through his veins. To be able to make people happy seemed to be the first logical step in removing himself from what he had felt for the longest time was an evil and selfish bloodline. He was determined though and with Ciaran, the one he loved, at his side helping with the planning as well as the kind Sokan he really thought that this was something he could do.

'Dear Luthor, I never formally thanked you for helping me become a girl, but it's brought me the most wonderful thing in the world: a little baby boy. Since I have you to thank, I'd like to invite you to a joint baby-shower, for my son and another baby on the way. I hope to see you there ~ Lirona'

Visting Lira and Copeka
Lira was slightly restless as she cuddled Copeka on the couch, eyes bouncing incessantly between the television ( playing something of little consequence ) and the door. She had been like this all day, waiting for Luthor to arrive. She had sent out the invitation a few days ago, having no other and more convenient way to contact him, and had spent the day constantly worrying and wondering. Did he get the invitation? Would he actually come? What if he wasn't able to get away from the Facility? All these worries buzzed around her head as she sat and stressed, cuddling her baby.
It had taken some time to get away, not because he was really a needed man at the Labs but because he spent certain days in the park, making deals with people who came by. It was his way of strengthening himself and his magic which he was always careful with, not wanting to use it for any dark reasons that might cause it to become tainted like Vampy's magic was.
He gave a bit of a smile as he approached the house, determined not to worry about such things today so that he could instead enjoy the fact that he was being invited back after the shower. It had been fun if a little to crowded for his liking. He wasn't really good with crowds of spawn but in small groups they were alright. He paused as he reached the door, starred at it for a moment, then lifted a hand to knock. His wings set to fluttering as he awaited an answer, hoping that she would be home today since he'd gotten the invitation a couple days ago.
When she heard the knock, Lira practically vaulted off of the couch, or at least as much as she could with her precious infant in her arms. She opened the door with a grin, quickly ushering the pretty spawn in. "Luthor! I'm glad you were able to make it. I was a little nervous, if you couldn't tell..." She giggled self-consciously, then gestured for him to have a seat anywhere.
"So, um, I don't know if you got this from the invite or not, but uh..." Lira trailed off a little as she looked at the powerful young man, mind getting sidetracked by his pretty hair and pretty eyes and pretty face... She shook herself slightly and smiled. "Sorry. I'm a little out of it. Anyway, what I was saying was that, uh, I was wondering if you would mind playing with Copeka a little bit. Not, like, a babysitter - I know that you can't always get away - but as, well..." She glanced at the floor, fidgeting with her baby's hair and trying to hide her blush. "As a kind of daddy...?"
Luthor looked at Lira as the door opened and he gave a smile, "Sorry about being late, I had a some appointments to keep." He said, patting the pouch that hung around his neck that carried all of the memory gems in it that he collected during his time out today. He had made two deals, small ones only, so while the gems weren't the most powerful that resulted from them they were still a boost to his power even so. He stepped inside and moved to sit down on the couch where the patience and lust spawn bade him to sit.
"A little out of it?" He asked, wings giving a little fluttering, "Are you feeling alright?" He wondered if maybe she were tired perhaps? It might come along with being a parent, he couldn't say for certain since he hadn't been around little ones to much aside from when he crossed paths with the younger spawn which was a rather rare occasion, "Playing with him? Naw I wouldn't mind at..." He trailed off as she said helping out not as a babysitter but a kind of daddy. He blinked a couple times, opened his mouth, and then closed it again. He found himself about to ask where the actual father was and then decided that it wasn't really his business, was it? After all his own Dad had raised him single handedly since the 'blood donor' as he called him, wanted nothing to do with raising a kid. Luthor was far different though, "I don't mind lending a hand if your in need of a nap, I mean... I have been wanting to learn more about little ones." He flushed slightly as he glanced at Copeka, "Ciaran and I, we have talked about perhaps having a family one day." He murmured, wings giving a rapid flutter.
Lirona smiled and gestured dismissively at Luthor's question of her health, quietly swooning over his concerns. "No, I'm alright, don't worry. Just a little tired; baby and all." She grinned reassuringly and stroked Copeka's head. In honesty, she really had little to complain about; after all, Adhara was the one spending nights up caring for Copeka when she needed her sleep. Most mothers didn't have that luxury, and she was going to be bratty and complain.
She winced at Luthor's startled reaction to her request, but she couldn't really blame him. It's not like it was the most casual request in the world. Lira tried to resist jumping down his throat with explanations and excuses, letting the pretty young man mull it over. If he couldn't... Well, he couldn't, and she'd survive with that.
When he answered yes, Lira couldn't resist squeaking happily and hugging on Copeka. Thank goodness! She blushed and readjusted her hair, glancing away. "Sorry. I just- I'm really happy, as you can probably tell." She giggled again, then looked towards Copeka lovingly. "I just... feel bad because he doesn't have a daddy figure in his life and I, well, feel that's important. And I'm not, y'know, asking you to commit to anything serious," she added quickly with a worried glance at the young man. "E-Especially if you want to have your own family. I mean, he likes you, and I know that nothing bad will happen when you're with him so..." She beamed. "You're the best candidate. Is- Is that alright?"
Luthor was a little surprised to hear that he was the best candidate, finding it a little shocking... but then again that was likely because he worried so much about who he was related to so he often worried that he was cursed to be as bad as 'that guy' and yet here she was saying that he was the best candidate. His wings gave a little flutter and then he gave a smile, "Its kind of you to say such nice things about me despite... well who I am related to. Thank you Lira." He murmured, then gave her a smile. She really was a nice young woman wasn't she? A good friend that he most certainly wanted to keep and wanted to continue to hang out with so long as he was allowed to do so.
Lirona blinked at Luthor's thanks, and waved her hand dismissively once again, a warm smile on her face. "Oh, of course, Luthor. You've been so nice to me, I can't help it. And..." She looked at him with a serious smile. "I really don't care who you're related to. I'm not going to think that you're evil because of your parents. I mean, my mother was a seductress who devoured her victims after... having her way with them." She blushed for a moment, nervous in her company. "Judging would be silly."
With an affectionate pat on the shoulder, Lirona stood up, gesturing for Luthor to do so as well. "So... If you're gonna be over a lot, do you want to see his room? I mean, it's Demetre's room too, and Adhi and 'Zuba's baby will sleep there too, so... Maybe it's just the baby room." She smiled, leading Luthor to the infant's room, chock-full of cribs and toys and pillows. With an affectionate kiss to his head, Lira set Copeka down near his corner full of pillows. "This is where all of his toys are and... stuff. It's really cozy here, huh 'Peka baby?" She tickled the child's tummy affectionately.
The sleepy little humility boy mumbled softly when he was set down, golden wings fluttering a bit. His gold eyes opened up and he looked up at the white-haired man curiously, a bleary little smile on his face. "Bubbo!" he squeaked happily at him, squealing when his mother started tickling his belly, falling against the pillows behind him and flailing his stubby little limbs in the air.
Luthor gave a smile as he pushed to his feet, following along after Lira and found himself looking around the room, "The baby room? That sounds nice." He said, taking in everything that there was to see. It was quite a cute room with all of the toys and such he found himself thinking, so many things were needed by babies but he was sure that helping to take care of Copeka would help in learning what all he would need to have when the day arrived that he would have a little one of his own to tend too. His wings gave a flutter and he smiled, "Its a cute room." It would be fun to buy such things, to decorate such a room, but he couldn't do it at home... he didn't want to raise a child there. He knew that he'd been raised in the Labs, he loved his Dad, but he would rather be out in a nice place, just him and Ciaran and then their baby when the time came he thought to himself. He wanted to raise that child far from the Labs and the dangers therein.
Luthor glanced down at Copeka with his soft, blue eyes before he gave a smile when he got a smile this time from the baby instead of causing him to cry... though he knew that he wasn't the cause of it the last time or so he'd been assured, "Bubbo?" He asked of Copeka, glancing to Lira, curious what the little one was talking about before gave another smile when the boy started to make such cute, happy sounds, "So cute."
"Thank you," Lira said humbly, looking around her and Adhi's and 'Zuba's handiwork with a quiet pride. "Considering we threw it together in a few days, I think it came together wonderfully." She smiled up at her friend. "If you want, when you and Ciaran start having a family, I could help you with anything you want. Consider it payment for helping me out now." To be honest, Lira was looking forward to that time. She had loved decorating and accessorizing the baby room, and she wanted to do it again as soon as possible. It wouldn't be a chore as much as an opportunity.
Lirona giggled happily and ruffled Copeka's hair gently, so pleased at her baby's new skill. "Um, he means 'bubble'. We got him a little bubble machine, and it was his first word a few days ago." She plugged in said machine and smiled as the bubbles began floating around the room. "He's been saying it constantly since then, it's so cute."
Copeka gasped in surprise when the bubble machine was turned on, bouncing happily when the bubbles started pouring from it. His small purple hands stretched out toward them, popping each on that he touched, squealing and clapping his hands each time. "Bubbo! Bubbo!!" he shouted joyfully, wings fluttering softly as the little nub of a tail that he possessed flicked happily as well. Bubbles were so fun!!
"That would be nice, I was so lost when I went shopping in the baby store for the party as there are so many things that little ones need." He said, wings fluttering in a happy manner, "So anything advice or ideas for what to buy first would be wonderful." He said, watching as the woman moved to plug in the bubble machine, to show him what it was that the boy was talking about. He watched the bubbles that set to filling the air around them, "Ohhhh, I can see why he would like that." He said, finding it rather facinating himself. The white haired spawn lifted a hand up to pop one of the bubbles before he gave a little grin.
His attention then fell to the boy that was doing the same as him, popping the bubbles before clapping and crying out for more, something that had him laughing, "Awww, that is to cute. You like them, huh Copeka?" He asked of the little spawn.
"Then it's a deal," Lira said with a smile, nodding decisively. "I know that I needed a lot of help when I was going shopping for baby, but lots of friendly people helped me and gave me advice. So I'll help you too!" She beamed warmly at Luthor, then at her adorable babbling baby. "And it's pretty much his favorite things in the world. He can do that for hours, although I'd never leave him alone for so long." She smiled fondly at her little angel, stroking his forehead soothingly.
Copeka made a soft happy noise at the feeling of his mom's hand stroking his forehead, letting his golden eyes fall closed and nuzzling against the pets. He smiled when Luthor spoke to him, looking up at the other and reaching out toward him, popping a few bubbles in the process. "'Peka!!" he followed the action with a calling of his own version of his name, the only other word that he knew at this point in his young life.
Luthor smiled as he looked down at the baby and gave a smile, "Yeah, I can understand why you would want to be by his side at all times." He couldn't imagine wanting to put ones baby down when you finally had it. It must be even more powerful a feeling for Lira given that she had once been a he... though that didn't exactly mean a lot, did it? After all Adriel had his children with the help of a wish and he was male. Reaching out a hand to the little one Luthor wiggled his fingers in front of the little one, within reach in case Copeka wanted to take hold of them. Luthor wasn't adverse to being close to others. It was impossible to be so having a brother like Pepper who tackled people as a form of affection, "Peka, huh? So you can say your own name? Good job!" He praised the little spawnling.
Lirona nodded emphatically, smiling excitedly at Luthor. "Oh yeah. Especially with how hard it was getting him here, I never want to leave him alone." She stroked Copeka's hair once again with care, then offered her fingers for her baby to grab onto as well. "Part of it is worry, but part of it is, well... You just don't want to miss anything." She laughed gently. "Every day it seems like something wonderful happens..."
"'Peka!!" the infant giggled happily, the golden feathers of his wings trembling softly. Both of his chubby little hands outstretched to take hold of Luthor's larger fingers. He bit at his lip gently, tail twitching in concentration as he tugged at the man's hand, only able to pull himself into an upright sitting position. Pouting, he stomped his little feet on the ground, trying again to pull himself up with the help of Luthor's outstretched hand. "'Peka!"
Luthor gave a sound of surprise in his throat when the boy pulled himself upright, something that made him smile, "Wow... good job." He murmured before he looked over at Lira and then back again. He reached out with his other hand to put it behind Copeka, not wanting for him to tip over since he would likely hurt himself, "There we go, now if you fall I will catch you." He told the little one in a reassuring manner. The way the boy was tugging at his hand made him wonder if he were trying to get up... was he trying to walk? Could they do that so small? He wasn't sure.
"Is he trying to walk already?" He asked of Lira, wings fluttering behind him in curiosity and excitement over the idea that he might be able to do something like that, finding it amazing that he might be able to see it.
Lira's eyes went wide as Copeka struggled adorably, teeth biting at her lip expectantly. Was he really trying to walk...? She gasped happily and took ahold of his other hand, giving him something to pull with. "I don't know, but wouldn't that be so amazing?" Her heart cooed over Luthor's kindness towards her baby, and she coaxed him sweetly, Jake oh-so-carefully stroking his hair. "Come on, baby boy, you can do it!"
Copeka didn't quite understand the sudden attention that was put on him, his deep purple cheeks tinting slightly red at it. The young one didn't understand why what he was trying to do was such a big deal, especially since Mama and Purpley Guy and all of the people at the party could do it fine and nobody made a big deal out of them. He squealed softly as he tugged on both of the hands that he was offered, holding on as tightly as he could. The little stub of a tail he possessed wiggled with effort, golden eyes pressed shut in concentration ( and to try and pretend that these two people weren't staring at him so intently ).
Luthor couldn't help but to chuckle when he saw the way the boy was squeezing his eyes shut, "Aww... are you having stage fright?" He asked of Copeka, finding his reaction rather cute. He was ignoring them so that he could instead concentrate on what he was doing, putting his all into standing. He glanced over at Lira for a moment before he lifted up slowly, helping Copeka to reach his goal which was taking to his feet, careful to keep him steady, not about to let him fall, "There we go, good job." He murmured to the boy, wings giving another flutter behind him.
Lira tried as hard as she could to suppress her squeal as her little baby struggled himself upright, little wings flapping so adorably and little tail wagging back and forth like the cute little babbin he was. Like Luthor, she helped lift him to his feet. She couldn't help glancing sidelong at the fair-featured boy, such a natural and sweet parent, and so pretty too... "Yup, there you go sugar, you're doing so well," she said as she forced her attention back to her baby, a warm smile on her face.
Copeka kept his eyes shut as he was helped upright, a soft gasp coming from his mouth as untrained legs wobbled at the sudden weight that had been set atop them. The baby whined softly at how difficult this seemed to be, as though he wasn't properly made for it, but he was going to do this! He was already halfway there, after all!! The hybrid spawn wobbled slightly where he stood, eyes cracking open slightly to peer at the two who were helping him stand, as though somehow they could teach him the secrets that made it so easy for both of them to do. "Bubbo...?"
"Your doing very good." He told Copeka when the opened his eyes to look up at them as he stood there on wobbly legs, aided by both Luthor and Lira, something that had the white haired spawn smiling. It took all three of their effort but the boy was upright and looking quite adorable at the moment. He gave another flutter of his wings, "Very good job, Copeka." He praised him, smiling when the boy spoke as well. It was to cute and far to amazing, to see the little one not only want to walk around but also talk, it was just... wonderful, he'd never see something so amazing before. So this was what it was like to be a parent he thought to himself, it was amazing and miraculous all at once, like magic!
"Yup, bubbo, my love. It's okay, sweetie, you're such a big boy." Lira rubbed Copeka's back with her hand softly, supporting it much like Luthor was doing so. For all of his nervousness about being a parent one day, he was certainly a natural. So sweet and caring. Her wing fluttered happily as she egged her baby boy on, a gentle smile permanently on her face. "Wan'na try taking a step forward, baby Peka baby? I bet you can do it."
Copeka made a soft, sad noise when nothing was explained to him, despite the fact that he probably wouldn't have understood the words that came from the two older people anyway. The boy babbled softly at the question from his Mama, looking up at her curiously, understanding what she meant by her movements, even if he didn't know what the words themselves meant. Getting a determined look in his eyes, he flapped his small wings and raised up one foot, immediately wobbling quite a bit - he would have fallen if it hadn't been for how well he was stabilized. Grunting softly, he made a point to put his foot back down, only a few inches in front of the other one. Yet, regardless of the distance, it was still his first step, and still sparked a wide smile on his splotchy, purple face.
Luthor's eyes went wide when the boy set to work at trying to walk, lifting one of his little feet up, and moved it forward, taking his first step forward... and he couldn't help but to stare, "Wow." He murmured the first step that he'd made, not to far forward, but it was the first step toward what would be a very important skill, "Wow, your doing wll at this, Copeka. Pretty soon your going to be running all over." He told him, though he was sure when he was able to do that Lira was going to end up having to chase him around... a part of being a Mom he was sure he thought with a smile.
"Are you going to try another step? Or do you need a rest?" He asked of the little one, not sure how exhausting it might be for someone his age to try to learn to walk. He couldn't recall learning that particular skill since it was so long ago.
Wow was right. Lira was the epitome of joy as she watched Copeka move his cute little foot, squeezing his little fingers happily as he set it down not far, but definitely enough to count as a step. Jake patted his head excitedly, and her wing flapped as she squeaked, smiling widely. "Omigosh, 'Peka, that was so good! That was walking, baby, you walked! Luthor's right, you're doing so well!" She resisted with difficultly the urge to hug him tightly to her, taking Luthor's advice. "But if you wanna, you can sit down, sweet sugar..."
Copeka bounced up and down a bit, giggling happily at the praise he was getting; they sounded happy, after all. His wings flapped softly and he poked the tip of his tongue past his lips in focus. Making a soft struggling noise, and wobbling a bit once again, he shakily lifted his other foot, grip tightening on both of his current guardian's hands. With a happy gasp, he stepped down his other foot before a sneeze had him falling off balance once, falling back and squeaking in surprise.
The white haired spawn did his best to keep from laughing as Copeka knocked himself off balance with a sneeze finding it to be far to cute. Instead of laughing thoug, something he was able to hold in, he carefully helped to lower him back down so that he was sitting once more instead, "That was great work, Copeka, I've very impressed with your hard work." He told the little one before he gave him a gentle pat on the back, "You did very good, when your ready we can try again if you want." He told him, then looked up at Lira and gave her a smile, "Your son is very wonderful, Lira."
"Oh, Peka..." Lira cooed happily as her adorable little boy slipped in what must have been the cutest way in the world. Like Luthor, she gently helped him back into a sitting position, stroking his hair soothingly. "You did good, baby, good walking. Now let's get you a tissue for that sneeze, hmm?" With a smile she extracted her fingers from his gentle baby grip, getting up and walking over to get a tissue from the ever-present box.
"Thanks, Luthor, you're a sweetheart," the young woman said with a soft smile, rubbing at Copeka's nose gently. "You've already done so much, you can leave any time you want. Not that, you know, I want you out or anything." She tossed the tissue away and brushed her hair back with a bashful smile. "I just don't wanna hog your time either..."
Copeka looked a little tearful after he fell at first, frustrated at how short his standing had lasted. Yet the coddles and snuggling from the two near him made the young spawn feel quite a bit better. When the tissue was gently pressed to his face, he rubbed his nose against it, pressing his eyes shut, so used to his sneezing and sniffles and how to use tissues already. He opened his small hands, reaching out toward his mama and bouncing on his bum, wings fluttering a bit as he babbled, trying to ask her to pick him up.
"I haven't minded, its been fun." He said, giving Copeka a smile as the boy, waving a hand at him, "I think I am learning a lot." He looked up at Lira and seemed to be thinking on it before asking, "Can I come by again sometime? Do you think maybe I can bring Ciaran to say hello the next time?" He didn't want to push anything, just thought that maybe Ciaran would want to meet the baby as well since they had been talking about having them one day. Just the idea of getting to see Ciaran holding a baby made his heart race with happiness.
He looked down at Copeka again, smiling, "You alright?" He asked of him, poor thing. He looked like he were going to cry and he didn't want that... at least he seemed to be calmed when his Momma returned to help him wipe his nose.
Lira swept Copeka up within moments, tossing him gently before cuddling him to her chest with a smile that easily turned towards Luthor. "Well I'm glad we didn't bore you, at least," she said with a smile, rubbing her baby's head softly. "And you can certainly bring Ciaran over... As long as he promises to be careful." She nodded once, trying to keep her misgivings to herself. She was going to have to learn to let go of her baby boy sometime... But she still would be cautious.
"Oh, he's alright," she said calmly as she walked Luthor to the door. "He just sometimes scares himself, don't you cutie pie?" She laughed and tickled his belly, then smiled at the pretty young man once more. "Thank you for all your help once again, Luthor. I look forward to when you can come by again." She gently took Copeka's wrist in her hand and made a waving gesture with his hand. "Say bye-bye to Mr. Luthor, 'Peka!"
Copeka giggled and gasped at his Mama's antics, snuggling against her soft chest when he was hugged close once again. His small nub of a tail wiggled around happily and he let his eyes fall shut, making a soft happy noise at the gentle pets that his mother gave him. When his hand was taken, he opened his red-rimmed eyes sleepily and gave a big, wide smile at Luthor, waving his hand as best as he knew how. "Bubbo!!"
Luthor rose to his feet, stretching out all over, then gave a smile, "It was nice spend the time with the two of you and I'm Iooking forward to another visit." He said as he looked the pair over, giving them a gentle smile, "If you need me to pick anything up before my next visit just give me a call." He offered them, knowing that if anything were needed he could pick it up since he would be out and about anyway. It wasn't to often that he was at the Labs anymore when he didn't have to be as he would rather be out in the park or visiting with friends.
He lifted a hand to wave at Copeka, giving a smile when the boy tried to do the same, "Thanks again for letting me visit, Lira, it means a lot to me." That she would let him visit, let him visit with her son, it meant a lot to him since he always worried that people would think badly of him because of who one of his parents were, "The two of you have a good day."

Ciaran...?
As he thought this another was heading in that direction, the white haired spawn Luthor, had been in his room, looking over his many gathered crystals, shifting them into a couple different sets when he got the call. They were all replaced in his pouch, it was hung around his neck, and his pen tucked behind his ear, and he was on his way. What Aden wanted he could only guess, if it were important then it was likely him wanting an assistant of some sort and couldn't get a hold of Luthor's Dad, Almas. He seemed for a moment thoughtful before he turned the corner and started down the hall that would take him to Aden's ward when he spotted...
"Ciaran?" He gasped out, he hadn't known he was here he thought to himself before he gave a smile and hurried over toward him, "Ciaran! I didn't know you had come to visit!" He said, sounding excited, wings fluttering behind rapidly as he got closer to the one he loved, missing at first that anything was wrong due to being so happy to see him.
Only when Dark Ciaran felt that Aden wasn't going to follow him which was a good think as he had enough with the being chased. Only when he heard his name being called did he look up and see his love Luthor and sighed a little as the insanity wasn't yet ready to let his sanity take control, but would be nice to at least say hello before going off to have some fun and prodded his wound again to keep his sanity from rising. "Why hello there Luthor is has been a long time," it said with it large grinning smile and making sure to keep out of Luthor's reach. "I didn't come to visit. I was brought here and I was just leaving to go and have some fun," it said and found it cute that Luthor was excited to see him and made the insanity more want to keep him out of that spiders reach forever.
Luthor nodded, "Yeah, if feels like to long he agreed." Sure it hadn't really been that long, a few days, but it felt like far to long in his mind that he was away from Ciaran. All he wanted to do of late was be near to the other spawn which he was sure was normal for someone that felt as he did toward him. He blinked his brightly colored eyes, a little confused, when Ciaran seemed to be moving out of reach, then found himself thinking it might be some sort of game so he continued to move ever toward him, "Huh?" He gave pause and looked a little uncertain, wings wilting a little, "Ohh... you were... leaving." He hadn't come for a visit then? Had he just been brought here to see Aden about something...? He took a step back, ever unsure, "I... alright, if you need to go I understand." Ciaran said he was going to go and have some fun... he found himself wondering what sort of fun and wanted badly to go with him but at the same time was sure it would be rude to try inviting himself along.
So much confusion rose in Dark Ciaran as he wanted to have fun but he so wanted to stay with Luthor to make sure he stayed safe, but that would only mean that he would need to give up control over to his sanity and that wasn't what he wanted yet. "Don't worry too much I will be back soon, Luthor," as he prodded his wound even more to make that rising feeling of his sanity say put until he was visibly bleeding more as drops of his blood dropped to the floor. "Don't be sad, Luthor I will come and play with you, but right now I don't want to give control back to my sanity my other half. This is the first time that I have been out to truly play and not to be controlled. As the shattered worlds are boring place and this place is so very interesting," the insanity added in a soothing voice but will that still ever Cheshire grin as it didn't like Luthor being sad as he was his and with his tail stiffly tocking back and forth behind.
The white haired spawn could only nod as he was told not to worry, that he would be back soon. He would... right? Surely Ciaran would be back, he loved Ciaran and Ciaran loved him, right? Instantly he found himself worrying that person that wasn't the case and Ciaran had tired of him... perhaps he'd grown tired of having someone like him? He always worried that he would be disliked for sharing blood with 'him' and his fears started creeping up in his mind that it was going to push Ciaran away from him as well.
Then he heard the strange tapping sound, the sound drawing his attention and he saw... blood? His eyes widened, "Ciaran... are you bleeding?" He asked, lifting his gaze from the spots of blood to look at the one he loved and he heard those words he was saying and felt for a moment confused, then a bit in shock. Shattered worlds... hadn't Ciaran been talking about such things when they met the first time? Being lost and broken... Ciaran had lost himself again? He took hurried steps toward him, "Ciaran... Ciaran don't leave, alright? Stay here with me." He said, worried even more now that he was starting to catch on that something was really, really wrong.
"Yes I am its to keep the other from taking control back," it replied. As it saw nothing wrong with bleeding and pain all all could be enjoyed. But just as Luthor said not to leave and to say with him that the insanities eyes get large as it started to panic as it didn't want to give up control to his other half, but was torn as it also wanted to stay with Luthor as well. All feeling so very confused as it didn't know what to do as part of it wanted to leave and the other part wanted to say. In this panic the insanity had gone within to make sure that the sanity was still lost to its sorrow as Ciaran's body moved back and forth as the insanity unable to decide if it wanted to leave or stay, leaving it open for Luthor to touch him that something that the insanity was trying to avoid.
Luthor gave him a smile, lifting his hands up to gently rest them against Ciaran's cheeks, giving him a smile, "Its alright." He murmured, seeing the look in his eyes, how confused and unsure he looked, the poor thing... he lifted up on his toes, having been walking around barefoot, and pressed a kiss to Ciaran's lips, "Come on, we can go back to my room if you want, we can sit and talk." He told this side of the one he loved, it wasn't the one he was used to but it was the one he'd met first, he didn't want to drive him away, instead wanted to keep him close no matter who was in charge at the moment. Best to keep him near so he could look after him and if he were lucky he could get Ciaran to allow him to wrap his wound, "Come on, nobody is there so it will just be us." He told him, giving Ciaran his best smile.
At that touch the panic started to subside as the insanity started to lose control as the sanity was fighting back for control and it even kissed Luthor back when he was kissed and murred. But then that same panic rose again as the insanity took back the control as it wanted this and to do more but its not what it wanted now. It wanted to be free and not go back to the shattered worlds. Dark Ciaran pulled away from Luthor as it hurt him just as he knew it would hurt Luthor. 'I'm sorry but I don't want to yet as I don't want to go back to those shattered places yet," it said trying to break it gently to Luthor. "I need to think and get things figured out and to have a little fun, this side of me does before give it back to the other. Just so you know that both of us love you very much and will be back soon," he said carefully as he quickly gave a kiss on Luthor's cheek before melting into the shadows to run off to think.

With the One I Love
Dark Ciaran didn't know how long it had been since he left Luthor as there had been lots of things on its mind and it didn't like to be board. So with a talk with its other half and both agreeing to have a shared time with Luthor to have fun and do what they had learned from Reshmi. It had taken sometime and lots of patience to swipe keys from Aden as they both knew that if Aden saw them the doctor wouldn't want them to leave. They thought that Aden would be mad at taking the keys but that was something that they would deal with later on and take what the doctor might dish out and maybe after this was all done and said he might let Aden put in that IV as they both could feel the strain of there body but that would have to wait as they were both excite to what was going to happen and hope that Luthor would want to do the same.
Now that everything in there chosen room was all prepped and ready with all they thought would be needed. They went looking for Luthor and first place they went is to where they hoped that Luthor was in his room or hoped that they would run into there white haired spawn, but making sure to not have anyone know what they were up to as he wanted to keep this a secret as they didn't want to be interrupted one bit.
Luthor had gone back to his room after Ciaran ran away from him, feeling a lot of worry building up inside of him. The last words he'd said were nice ones, that they both loved him very much and would be back soon... but the time between that point and now was agonizing, him worrying about Ciaran's wounds, what he was doing, where he was going, who he might see... a thought that he shoved aside as he didn't want to really think of that. Instead he'd gone back to what he had been doing before Aden called for him, he was sorting through his jewels, those that were given to him by humans were in one pile, those given to him by one of the other spawn in another pile, and set alone was the one that he got from Pepper. It was the first of his collects, a deep and beautiful purple, and he looked reached out to pick it up, and lifted it up to run his thumb over the many facets of the glittering gem that hid a dark secret inside of it, one of many things he was hiding from his little brother he thought to himself.
He set it down before he started to go through the two piles, arranging them, those that were happy memories on one side, dark memories on the other. He seemed to have gather more dark ones then he had bright ones he thought to himself, then again darker things seemed to happen more often then the good ones. He sighed again, what felt like the millionth sigh since he'd returned to his room, and he bowed his head forward for a moment, let his eyes sink shut, wings closing against his back, and he seemed almost as though he were dozing off while sitting there in the middle of his bed.
Ciaran had quietly opened the outer door to where Luthor lived with Pepper and Almas. Looking around to find that there was no one around as he slipped in and quietly walked over to Luthor's door was as he didn't want to even have Almas know he was here if Almas was in his room right now. Quietly now opening up Luthor's door and smiled to find there white haired spawn sitting on his bed. They quietly walked up to Luthor and Ciaran put his hands around Luthor's neck and kissed his cheek. Then looking down and seeing all the beautiful gems. "Those are very beautiful, love but could you put them away, please. As we want to take you somewhere to have some fun of our own," they said in a soft silky seductive voice as they hoped that Luthor would follow and to have fun.
Luthor gave a sound of surprise as he was touched, coming out of his thoughtful daze, head lifting, and he found himself starring up at Ciaran, "Ah! Ciaran!" He gasped, reaching up to wrap his arms around the other spawn, hugging him tightly, "Are you alright? Is your arm still hurting you?" He asked in a rush before he seemed to catch what was being said to him. But the gems away? They were wanting to taking him somewhere to have some fun? He blinked a couple times before nodding his head, "Alright." That Ciaran had come back for him was a relief, one that had his wings flapping behind him in an excited manner as he turned his attention to his memory gems, cleaning them up and replaced them in a pouch that hung around his neck, one that seemed to be small enough that it should only be able to hold one gem, not the large collection that was putting into it. It was a powerful little trinket it seemed, good for carrying a lot of things without taking much space itself.
Once all of them were replaced in the bag his attention was back on Ciaran as he put the pouch in place around his neck, "Where are we going?" He asked, oblivious to what Ciaran was thinking about, seeming just to be happy to have his love back with him again.
Ciaran murred as it was good to be back with his love as they weren't deciding to do what had been done again as it hurt too much as they hugged back. "We are all right an no its not. See I even wrapped it up our self," he replied show off the poorly wrap wrist that did hurt but something they weren't going to tell. Ciaran quietly waited for Luthor to clear up his gems and put them away. They tugged Luthor to his feet and once Luthor was on his feet they tugged Luthor right into there chest and gave a very passionate kiss. Pulling away but not to far. "You will know when we get there, but there will be more of the kissing there and more if you want there," they whispered softly to Luthor.
The kiss caught Luthor a little by surprise and his eyes went wide, then sank closed, a soft sound escaping his throat as he leaned into Ciaran, "Mmm, alright... do I need shoes?" He asked, not knowing where they were going or if they were needed... at mention of more of those kisses 'and more' the white haired male's eyes went a little wide and his cheeks color a little. And more? What sort of any more? Just thinking about it had his heart thudding in his chest and he stepped closer to Ciaran, "Alright." He said, his tone a little on the shy side but he seemed willing enough to follow after Ciaran, not really worried for afraid when it came to him.
Just loving the reaction about the 'more' part as it was too cute as there own heart started to race at the anticipation of hopefully to what to come. "You wont be needing your shoes as we are just going to another part of the labs," Ciaran said as that was all he was going to say of the matter until the got there. "Good now follow us," he said as they let one of Luthor's hand go and kept a hold of the other one as they lead on.
It didn't take them too long as they were heading up to the Medical ward and just before they got there Ciaran turned down a rarely use hallways that housed all of the white padded room and took Luthor to the room at the very end of the hallway to make sure that none could hear them as they didn't want to be interrupted. Stopping at the door and taking out the pilfered keys out of his pocket and opened the door and holding open for Luthor. Inside the room there were lots of blankets to soften the already padded room that that had pilfered from a storage room along with some pillows as well. Also on the floor were somethings to eat and drink that he had taken from various break rooms. "So what do you think?" he said to Luthor waiting for him to walk in. "I want to teach you what I learn when we were away," Ciaran said softly and seductively as his tail was wagging fast behind him excitedly.
Luthor gave a smile and found himself quickly following along after Ciaran, curious about where it was that they were going. Somewhere else in the Labs he'd said but that didn't really give much away when it came to where he was leading Luthor. It was a secret to him though as they went he started to recognize things though it was a place he hadn't been in a very long time. He looked around and then back to Ciaran, "Isn't this... where we first met?" He asked after a moment, looking inside the room that Ciaran had set up for them. His eyes went a bit wide as he took everything in and then looked back at Ciaran, "It looks like you were busy." He said, giving a smile as he stepped into the room, not worried in the least.
He found himself wondering where Ciaran had gotten everything, he could guess when it came to the food but the rest he wasn't quite sure. He turned to look over at Ciaran then tilted his head to one side, "Huh? What you learned while you were away?" He asked, wondering what he meant as he walked back over to the purple haired spawn, watching how his tail seemed to be wagging. He was in a good mood, wasn't he? That was good. He had been so worried about him earlier.
Ciaran smiled softly as Luthor re-conned the place. "It it but not in this room specifically. As we wanted a room that could lock were we cant be disturbed," they said as they followed Luthor in as the door shut and heard locked, but Ciaran put the needed key into the lock were they could get out but others couldn't get in. " You can still leave anytime you want as I wont force you into this," they said as the sanity wanted to tell Luthor all about what had happened to him and how he was eaten and forced into playing, but the both of them thought that was better to tell another time after this fun and when the insanity finally did sleep. "We were, as we wanted this to be perfect and a good experience as well," Ciaran said as he thought to how to tell without telling too much. "Well for a time I wasn't at home but forced with another that had taught stuff and that brought out the insanity to play with," they added at Ciaran's tail was still wagging away as he was starting to get more excited and was trying to hold back his want as he didn't want to force, like he had been.
"Huh?" He starred at Ciaran in an uncertain manner, "Not at home? And... forced with another?" He asked asked, sounding more and more worried, stepping closer to him, hands lifting to rest on Ciaran's chest, "Are you alright? Who? Who did that to you?" He asked, wings seemed to twitch and the purple glow around him that normally had to do with his magic waking up seemed to alight around him, as though he were gettnig agitated by the idea that someone or something out there might have hurt Ciaran, something that he now felt the need to give a swift kick in the gut... among other things.
Ciaran wasn't surprised to hear that Luthor was concerned on what happened as for now they weren't going to tell until later and under a very good promise before telling. As they didn't want there love any were near that dam spider. "Calm down Luthor as in away I'm alright and with you and that is all that matter about that subject. Later on the sanity might tell you the whole story but now you must forget about it as it has been dealt with very goodly. So don't worry any longer," they said as the sanity knew that it was going to have a hard time over that whole ordeal for a long time, but it knew that just being with Luthor would help as they both didn't want to have there love use his magic for anything but good, they were the ones that would deal with that spider if it ever came to that again. As one of his hand covered over Luthor's hand on there chest and the other when to pet Luthor's hair to calm him down.
"Calm... down?" He asked, sounding confused, how could he calm down and no worry if someone had hurt Ciaran he found himself wondering... then as the other spawn started to stroke his hair he seemed to relax despite himself, leaning into the other spawn, eyes sinking half shut, "I..." He shouldn't just calm down and not worry he told himself, "I just worry for you is all." He murmured, he said it had been dealt with... did that mean the person who had hurt Ciaran was gone? He sure hoped so or he would deal with him later he thought to himself. Luthor lifted his gaze to look at Ciaran, studying him closely as though trying to figure out if he were really alright or not.
"Yes," they replied as even with the vague details were up setting there love and they knew if he knew the whole truth that Luthor would be pissed a lot and were glad that he was calming down and they hoped that he would have fun with them. "Don't worry as that is all in the past what has been done is done and not to be worried about," they said as they knew they weren't alright not by a long shot, but with both sides in control a good part of those bad memories were being suppressed as the insanity didn't find it to be all that bad. Something Luthor would find about later on in any case. "Lets just concentrate now on the now and us," Ciaran said as gave another passionate kiss to there love as he looked up at them.
Ciaran didn't seem to worried... not nearly as worried as Luthor felt and he found himself giving a nod, "Ahh... alright, if your sure." He murmured, sliding his hands up to Ciaran's shoulders, stroking the soft feathers there before his arms wrapped around his neck, hugging him closer in response to the kiss he was given, "I... alright, if your sure then lets concentrate on us." He said, responding to the kiss excitedly and then returned it with just as much enthusiasm. The bright glow around Luthor seemed to fade away again as the magic died down. It seemed the kisses had been enough to cause him as well as his magic to calm as Luthor was swept up in the nice kisses he was being given by the dark half of the one he loved.
"We are sure," Ciaran murred his white haired spawn kissed back as he pulled back not really wanted to but did and they were glad he was calming down too. "That was very nice," Ciaran said as they played with Luthor's hair as the closeness was so nice and so wanted. Now to see if Luthor wanted to do more as they really wanted to as there heart started to beat faster at those thoughts. "So are you ready to know what I have in mind?" Ciaran asked his white haired spawn.
Luthor flushed a bit before giving a nod, "Ahhh... yes, I would like to know." He whispered, sounding a bit shy about it. He was curious about what it was that he was thinking, he thought that he knew what it was that Ciaran was thinking about. He gave a bit of a smile as he looked around the room, glancing for a moment at the bedding that Ciaran had gathered, and then back again, cheeks coloring. He knew that when it came to such matters he was a bit behind the other his age but he really didn't mind to terribly much... he would much rather be with the one he loved then worry about what others his age were doing. He did that enough when it came to other matters of life after all.
"Ok then," Ciaran said as Luthor was cute being all shy and they just loved it. Bending down to Luthor's ear and whispered to what fun that they had in mind. As even Ciaran's cheeks colored as they were telling. "That is if you really want to as I wont force you into it if you don't want to," they added and waited for Luthor's answer with lots of things rushing in mind at want could be said.
Luthor's eyes got a bit wide as Ciaran leaned in closer and whispered in his ears, things that made his cheeks, neck, event he tips of his ears go a rather bright red as they were explained to him. He blinked a couple times then buried his face against the other spawn's neck, giving a little nod of his head, "Ahhh... yeah." He murmured shyly, cheeks still quite pink, then lifted his head once he was able to get his shyness under control, lifted his head up, and pressed a kiss to his neck, "Yeah, I... would like that, so long as its you Ciaran, I'm willing." He said, his voice still hushed, as though someone might over hear. He should understand and know they were far from other people though since they didn't since a single person in this area of the facility as they walked here.
Ciaran murred as they nuzzled on Luthor's hair when he had buried his face on his neck as this what that sanity had wanted ever since been with the spider and was so happy that there love wanted what they wanted and excited that his heart beat much faster and his tail wagged more. "That is good as it will be fun," he murred as now they only really wanted to do it with Luthor and none else as they very much loved there white haired spawn. "I will go slow and gentle and just tell me to stop when ever you like. I don't want to hurt you," they said as he led Luthor over to the blankets to have fun.
