Into The Bath! Deuce spent the majority of his evenings in the bedroom and bathroom, so there was really no problem with him having to open the Angel inside the bath, and in the water. He understood that it was for safety. But there was another reason he was glad that it was in the directions to start the Angel-building process that way. And that reason was Yue. The boy had started working for him, and frankly, he was one of the best 'nurses' that Deuce had ever had. He'd already written the boy into his Will - THAT was how much he trusted the boy. Even if he maybe shouldn't have.
"Yue, DO hurry up? It's not like I haven't seen other men naked before. Besides... I can't help myself into the bath, and you know that."
Not exactly a lie, either. The craftsmen for the bathroom had forgotten to build the thing to HIS specifications. He had the equivalent of an underground hot spring embedded into the floor, but it was - unfortunately - equipped with a raised lip, and no way to get his wheelchair into the water, with no mechanism to support him. It was one of the MAIN reasons he required a nurse, but at this point, that would be half the fun.

While it was hard to find privacy in a family of five, especially when you share a room with a baby brother and a household with two little girls that were basically bundles of pure energy that went off with even a gram of sugar within in their bloodstreams, Yue-Long did enjoy what little that he had: shower time was one of those, and usually he reserved the sight of his lean, bare body for himself.
Needless to say, this was a little weird.
Indeed, why did I agree to this? I must’ve been drunk or something. The boy wondered as he removed his shirt – that wasn’t much of a problem – and stretched his arms to his sides. Well… at least I’m not flabby… and Deuce isn’t either. It was an insanely strange thought to be having at that peculiar moment, but nevertheless, he was glad that he was an athlete and worked hard as one. He turned around to face the mirror for a moment and with a finger, softly traced the scars, marks of his otherwise flawless skin, on his arms and chest. Memories of childhood… while he recalled he had gotten some of them, the others he remembered no stories for. Then there were the stark lines of the dragon tattoo, almost a living thing as he moved his arms.
“You have seen other men naked?!” He leaned out of the dressing room, or rather, undressing room for a moment, a curtain of shaggy black hair falling across his almond-shaped green eyes. “Well, apologies, but I certain do not share that experience with you.” And then he was gone again, and when he appeared once more, a towel was wrapped securely around his waist and the angel egg held in the crook of an elbow like a soccer ball.
“And for one thing, at least you can help yourself undress, Deuce. You are not exactly a baby, are you now?”

Deuce chuckled, as he stripped off his own garments, and wheeled over to the bath. It was already full, and steaming, and wonderful. More like a small LAKE than a bath. Or at the very least a swimming pool. He had his own Angel Egg on his lap, hands over it, and waiting patiently. He didn't want to be a bother to Yue, but he WAS rather excited, and he had a rather lot on his mind at the moment. Almost like a child at holiday-time can't wait to open a gift.
"Of course I'm not a baby, Yue. But I will need help getting IN the bath, seeing as the contractors built in a raised lip, and my... condition will not let me go past that raised lip."
He motioned to said 'raised lip' around the edge of the.. well, it was really a pool more than anything else.
"If you can get me in the water, I'll be fine."

Of course, what Deuce said tripped Yue-Long's guilt right away - perhaps as he attended - and the slight scowl at the youth's lips immediately dropped away. "It's not like I've forgotten about that." He mumbled and then gently laid his own egg aside on the edge of the pool and slowly slid into the pool, maneuvering himself in such a way that he managed to remove the towel just the moment before he hit the water, and now that he was submerged from the waist down, he grinned at Deuce with his arms held out before him.
“Lean over and just let gravity do its work. Don’t worry,” he said reassuringly, “I’ll catch you… and even if you do drown, I’m an expert at CPR.” There was something challenging about the light in his eyes and the way that he was grinning like a boy. To be honest, he was excited about opening this egg thing as well.

The wheelchair's wheels complained as Deuce did as he was told, and let himself fall towards the water. He squeezed his eyes shut tightly. There were two things in this world that he feared - Deep water, and falling. Both of which could spell the end for him. He whimpered quietly as he was caught, and slid into the water silently, taking his egg with him. Still trembling. He did NOT like falling, no sir. To change the topic, he took his egg into the middle of the lake-thing - none of it was too deep. He sat on a 'rock' outcropping, and peeled the plastic off of his egg.
"You ready, Yue?"

The laughter echoed in the empty room, and as Yue gently let Deuce slide out of his arms, he almost fell over, tumbling over his own two feet as he gasped for air. He continued chuckling, and to explain this, pointed at Deuce. "You should've seen the look on your face, Deuce!" Despite the shallowness of the water, he leaned over and tried to swim anyways - the size of the thing was more than enough to fool anyone into thinking that it was indeed, a swimming pool.
"I thought you feared nothing," he smiled amiably as he sat down on the 'rock' outcropping right beside Deuce, and leaned against him with an elbow resting on the sickly boy. "Yeah, sure." He shrugged as he followed Deuce's example and peeled the plastic off of his own egg. "As ready as I could be, in my birthday suit and all."
Then a sudden, evil thought struck him. "Are you ticklish?"

Deuce started a bit at the question. He hadn't expected that. He blushed, and wordlessly nodded his head. He was. It was a weak point of his. He hoped Yue didn't take advantage of that, because last time he'd been in a tickle-war, he'd almost suffered a heart-attack. He shuddered at the memory of that, and put his fingernail in-between the two parts of plastic, exerting enough pressure for it to pop open. The water - and the doll - came tumbling out. Deuce caught it, and brought it up to eye level. A male doll. He hadn't expected that, seeing as the package had SAID female. But he wasn't overly upset. Something in him loosened. Something else snapped. His one good eye softened. Can we say HOOKED?

Yue-Long chuckled sinisterly a few more times, and just before he completely removed his elbow from Deuce's shoulder and broke the contact of their skin, one finger trailed innocently over to Deuce's neck, a bit under his ears, and brushed against the skin a few times. He had missed the shudder, unfortunately.
Thomas was ticklish, and oh did Yue-Long love him for it. Nevertheless, he returned his attention to his eggs and brought both of his hands around the egg, popping the plastic shell open as well. He caught the thing that fell out, and looked at it - it was a boy. Well, unlike Deuce, he didn't have the fortune to be surprised - his egg had been already labeled as 'male'. The softness around Deuce's eyes got him, and then he nudged Deuce in the ribs with a rather bony elbow.
"Say, they'd be brothers then, wouldn't they?"

He nodded. That they most certainly would. He cradled the male doll in his hands, and looked it over. Featureless. Almost eerie. But his. HIS. His own unique, powerful Angel. He had chosen well. The doll was destined to be a Light-Speed type, what Deuce had decided on earlier, with the focus mainly on agility, and what went along with it. He found himself smiling. Then thinking. Oh, what's in a name... He had to have a name before he made the costume - there was just that one part of the process left to do - set him up. Give him his wig, cut it, and start the stat modifications.
"He's... Perfect."

Unlike Deuce, Yue hadn't exactly planned anything ... and it's said to say, but he was lacking in the department labeled 'imagination'. He has always been a rather 'down-to-earth' sort of child, and he looked at the doll and he frowned.
"It's kind of a shapeless lump. Is it supposed to be like this??" He asked quizzically. "Most of my sisters' dolls... are well, rather human like." He did not see the perfection that Deuce saw, and as he furtively compared the two 'brothers', he failed to see any difference inbetween the two - other than the tone of the dolls' supposed skin.

Deuce laughed softly, and washed the liquid from the doll's body as he spoke, also giving himself a scrub while he was at it.
"Angels are supposed to be like this initially. Features, skin-color, costume... all of that is decided later. The important thing is that you have him, and he looks wonderful."
He held up his doll again, and compared it to Yue's.
"They could almost be twins... Usually, there's a fair bit of discrepancy between doll models, but this is odd - it's almost like they were cut FROM the same model."
He grinned as he got a wicked idea.
"Here's a thought. Let's set them up to BE twins."

"As wonderful, I suppose, as a doll could be without anything on it." Yue mumbeled, following Deuce's example yet again to watsh the liquid from his doll's body. These things... they reminded him of the BJD's that one of his ex-girlfriends had constantly played with. In essense, the two things were almost the same... you pick the features, the wig, the costumes - only thing was, the BJD's could not move.
Like his doll would be able to.
"You are right," he nodded in wake of Deuce's observation. "Twins?" Yue chuckled, "you bought a lime green wig, Deuce, and I a white one. They can hardly be twins with such a vast difference within the shade of their hair. Though... I suppose that's a different thing from setting up, isn't it? You can always go back and change the wig... or something."

Deuce shook his head. He knew you couldn't change it once it was set.
"No - You can't. But I CAN, however, go out and buy a wig to match. Or we can do the whole Good / Evil thing. Opposites. So.... it's up to you..."
He rinsed his doll some more, and held it in his lap, smiling more than he had, probably in his entire life. He was happy for once and it showed.
"Whatever you decide, though... It will be neat to say that these two are brothers. I was personally considering a doctor's outfit for the costume.... What about you? What are you thinking about in terms of what your Angel will be?"

"Haha, opposites." Yue-Long chuckled, "regardless of whether they shall fight against each other... or side to side. I suppose they'll be a force to be reckoned with, eh?" He held his own doll up as well, still trying to see past its present shape, the featureless lump that somehow had embedded its image into his mind. "Either way, we'll be the one controlling them, right?" He asked, his head half turned and tilted.
Twins...
It was always good to know that there was someone out there that you could rely on.
"A doctor's outfit?" Yue smiled wistfully, "I think that's the one that I'm trying to stay away from the moment. You know, the father situation and all..." His voice lingered of. "Well, I was thinking of a classic RPG's outfit, something that resembled a warrior, or perhaps a priestly mage - healer, perhaps. Twins of different eras!" He shook his head and his shaggy hair. Water droplets flew off and landed on the side of Deuce's face and upper-body. "I haven't really thought about it that much. But... it'd be nice to be able to, well, you know, get out of this time and place for a while and pretend that you are someone, something else wouldn't it?"
