Random Letters and Kid Getting
Merrill played by LadyUmbra, Zane and Shylock by Dgcakes

Merrill entered the kitchen and dropped a small stack of envelopes infront of Zane " You have mail, " he said, happy that for once a stack of envelopes he saw wasn't bearing his name. The blue haired seraph kept an eye on zane incase there was anythign interesting in the mail as he made his way towards the fridge cravingorange juice, the pulpy kind.

The darker male snorted as he started to rifle through the pile, reaching one hand over to pinch his husband's rear just a bit. Most of it was just the usual blah blah mail - ads, bills, random postcard from Lamnishan who was currently wreaking havoc in Bangladash, and also a letter from....well some strange place it seemed. It hadn't been post marked and delivered with all of the others but it was slipped through their mailbox about the same time.

Opening it, the man read it's contents with a raised brow. Huh, okay this was weird.

Merrill smiled but made no comment about the pinch, any response would only encourage the other man which was simply not a good idea at the moment when the angel was far more interested in procuring orange juice. Upon finding the desire carton which seemd to have been hiding behidn the milk and the cream he straightened back up and turned to see Zane raising his eyebrow " who's in jail and how much willit cost to bail them out?" he asked softly

"No one. It's a letter from some corporation that wants me to go pick up a child from them." the man said, voice even more confused. He half wished it had been about a friend of his being in jail.

" Why" the whole idea of it just seemed to stun Merrill what corperation would know Zane and want him to care for a child? not that he couldn;t be a good parent but still, it just confused the angel

"I haven't got a bloody clue. It's something to do with their experiments or something. I haven't got any idea how they pick these things. I'm just trying to figure out if I should listen or not."

" It's up to you, you know how to take care of yourself." Merrill wasn;t sure he trusted the letter or the information inside it but he doubted even if someone wanted to hurt zane that could do him harm by luring him off somewhere.

The man nodded. "Would you object to having another child in the house? Particularly one of questionable origins?"

" i don't know" merrill admitted , he liked kids and all and he was goignto be a parent anyways but that wasn;t about to be that soon and part of him wasn;t sure how he'd deal with that or morever deal with someone else living with them whom he wasn't related to. " i'm not going to stop you though"

The man stood and walked over to put his arms around the angel and pull him close. "I love you, Merrill." he said softly, giving him a kiss, "And if you're truly not ready, I won't force it. But I think we should try."

Merrill leaned into Zane's embrace, the angel still duffered insecurity issues although zane was good at laying most of them to rest. Still, part of him wasn;t sure about having a child in the house first that wasn;t thier child. he knew it was silly and selfish but sometimes he had irrational thoughts like that. Still, for Zane's sake he was willign to try and nodded slowly " Ok"

"And our baby counts as having the turf first, dear. The little one was concieved before the letter arrived, remember?" he whispered assuredly, touching a hand lightly to his husband's belly.

" stop reading my mind" Merrill grumbled although there was a small smile on the man's face.

"You're you. I don't have to be a mind reader to know how you work, dear." Zane intoned with a laugh, kissing his husband again. "I'll be back as soon as possible. You gonna be okay alone?"

Merrill nodded again before leaning up to give the dakr skinned mana peck on the nose " orange juice we need more" he informed him. Most common symptoms of pregnency had not hit the angel but cravings had and he was thankful what he wanted was something healthy

"Mmm I shall pick some up on the way back." he promised and out the door he was.

~~

About an hour and a half later, the door was opening again. Zane entered, carring two things, both decidedly different. One was a bag with two half gallons of orange juice, and the other was a small brown skinned boy. His hair was a minty green and he had small horns hidden amid the tufts of hair and a long tail with spikes on it. The child was totally nude but had his tail wrapped neatly about himself. He seemed already relaxed into the man's arms and was quite happy with that.

The darker male grinned as he entered the kitchen to find Merrill."Hon? I'm home."

Merrill had been washign dishes, not becuase they didn;t have a dashwasher or that these dishes couldn't go in it, simply becuase it gave the angel something to do that wasn't his actually work which required his fully attention and that the serpah couldn't give it at the moment. Thus wehn Zane entered the kitchen with the boy, Merrill was up to his elbows in wamr lemon scented sudsy water. There was little more he could do other than stare and take in the odd scene the pair created for a moment " Welcome home" he manged shakily before turning his head a bit more to smile at the child " and welcome to you"

The boy in the trapeze artist's arms, currently dubbed Shylock, smiled back at the angel and waved a bit. "Lo." he said with a grin.

"Merrill, this is Shylock. He is - apparently - a cross between some sort of pride demon, and a liberality angel...oh, and we got juice." the last bit was an afterthought added as he glanced at his bag. Yep, forgot he'd even picked it up.

Merrill's eyes flicked between zane, the bag containing his juice and Shylock. a demon well he didn't seem to be giving off any negative aura.. nor a positive oen either for all he was suppopedly angelic in soem way. the blue haired man supposed a nuetral child was for the best . raising a hand from the water he waves it a bit at the green haired child " pleasure to meet you"

Zane walked carefully over to his lover so he could offer the baby to him to hug. Best to let the child and his new parent get acquainted. Knowing Merrill, he'd probably freak out and worry that the boy would like him, whereas Shylock seemed rather fine with anyone who payed him attention.

The angel panicked breifly then moved to dry his hands and then wra his arms aroudn zane and Shylock as best he could, tryignto be affectionate without squishing the boy between them too much

Zane smiled and carefully hugged his lover, the child in his arms attempting to do the same. Shylock had presently deemed Merrill cute in his behaviors - mostly cute because he kept doing shy nervous things, which the child couldn't see the point of as much.

"Want to hold onto him while I get you some juice?" the darker man offered.

" I um I dunno how, i haven;t held a kid since cy and i'm not at that part in my book yet" merrill admitted

The warrior snorted, using one of his arms to adjust Merrill's hands and let Shylock crawl into them. The mint haired child wrapped his arms around Merrill's neck and smiled, relaxing against his shoulder.

"Toddlers, they're not as fragile." Zane commented as he went over to pour the juice.

merrill rolled his eyes and smiled at Shylock " zane's very bossy and stubborn, you'll learn this soon enough" he informed the little one

The boy giggled a little, nodding his head. It was funny to see Daddy show he was in charge.

" you laugh now but oen day it'll be you he targets and then" merrill sighed dramatically and ruffled his feathers " woe is you and i will be all i told you so" he teased before looking over at zane " mm hanu sent me stuff today"

"What did he send you? I thought we - erm 'agreed' that you are to be on maternity leave?" Zane asked from where he was pouring the juice.

Shylock, meanwhile, reached up to poke curiously at the angel's headwings.

merrill flicked the headwings little just to make them more ammusing " We did but this is a special circumstance and i'll only be gone a week" he explained keeping his eyes mainly on shylock, incase he needed to warn the boy to be gentle

The child pet at the feathers, giggling at they moved. Very interesting indeed. Zane had warned him on the way there to be very gentle with Merrill's wings and not to pull if he tried to touch them.

"Mhm. And special in what way, may I ask?"

" You're adorable" merrill murmured to shylock finally relaxing properly aroudn the boy though stilla bit war of the child's tail and the spikes on it. " special in that i'm the only one the other party wants"

"If he sends you anywhere that will get you hurt, maimed, sick, or raped, I will hunt Hanu down, imasculate him, torture him, and make a mess of his paperwork." the darker male replied, moving to help settle Shylock on the counter and give his lover his juice.

The brown skinned boy giggled again, flicking his tail about.

" what your language infront of our child" merrill growled glarign at zane

"No." the other male replied, giving his lover a hard look. He wasnt' the type to sugarcoat things, regardless of whether or not there were children present. They'd learn eventually anyway. Part of this came from occasionally having to train rather young recruits.

Shylock smiled, reaching out to pet Merrill's wings. Fluffy <3

" don't you argue with me on this, you will watch you're languege or we will go to another room" he warned rufflign his feathers in agitation and to amuse the little hybrid child
(
"Whatever." Zane grumbled, rolling his eyes.

Shylock clapped a bit, amused by these tricks as he moved to pet the wings a bit more.

merrill sighed softly and lowered his hair to nuzzle the boy's hair

Shylock smiled and reached up to hug Merrill again. It was nice being affectionate with the angel.

merrill laughed and rouched the boy in his arms before looking pitifully at zane " don't me ad at me, i hate when you're mad at me"

Zane shook his head. "I'm not mad at you." the man assured him gently, leaning over to kiss Merrill's cheeks.

the angel blushed and smiled " before lifitng his glass and taking a sip of his juice "mmm imported and delicious, i think i might love you" he teased

Zane snorted, ruffling Merrill's hair. "Anyway, come on Shy, I need to show you to your room."

merrill smiled " you take him and i'll meet you back in the livingroom' the dishes could soak for a bit longer it wouldn;t kill them

Zane snorted and carried the boy to his room, leaving Shylock to sit down and explore the room. The man returned shortly to put his arms around his husband.

merrill smiled and leaned up to kiss zane's cheek "mm well this should be interesting"

"oh?" he replied with a grin, nuzzling his lover back.

" i'm not finished my book yet i dunno how to raise a kid" he murmured begginning to focus more on zane's touches

Zane smiled gently, cuddling his lover. "It'll be all right. You can learn more from actually having a kid than you ever could from some book." he replied tenderly, kising Merrill's cheek.

" i don;t want to make mistakes' he said softly but relaxed into zane's embrace

"It'll be okay." the man replied tenderly.

the angel nodded slowly and then frowned into his cup of juice

"What's wrong, baby?"

" just felt sick for a moment or well faint i dunno" the blue haired man shrugged " probbaly just nerves"

Zane nodded gently and kissed his lover's temple. "Love you."

merrill smiled " love you too,"

Drabbles, Snapshots of Life I
Magic

Shylock stared idly forward as he sat in the gym at Cirque de la Lune. His father was up on one of the high trapezes, doing flips and spins in preparation for an upcoming show. For many children, it might be exciting to see their father do something like this, but the number of times he’d seen Zane practice had taken the awe out of things. There was no magic that allowed the darker male to continuously spin around that bar, and he wasn’t truly flying when he let go of the one bar and spun in air before he grabbed another. It was all precise and calculated, Zane knew what he was doing and had done it long enough to be good at it. And still, when he was sitting in the audience, watching his father on the actual stage, in costume and with the lights turned to emphasize a mood, the tot couldn’t help but be in awe that that man was his father.

Family

The minty haired spawn has a large family, and he loves them very dearly, even if they aren’t all related by blood. Shylock has two fathers – a dark skinned trapeze artist who has no biological family to speak of and who took him home from the facility, and a cheery young seraphim with blue hair and a knack for negotiation. The former is Zane, but to Shy he is Dad, and the second is Merrill, or Papa. Merrill’s skin glows specially and he’s been getting fat since the boy first came to live with them – Zane tells him it is because Papa is going to have a baby, which sounds rather nice in Shylock’s opinion.

Even though Zane’s real family is gone, he still has the man who raised him – a guy called Kyin. Kyin has pink hair and wings, as well as tanned skin and a muscular body. He’s loving and friendly and lives with Merrill’s Daddy, a tall navy haired soldier named Azeer who seems a bit stern, but is a good man underneath it. The two of them are together and have two little boys they raise – a sickly angel baby called Desmene and a little unicorn boy called Oliver. The latter is very protective of Des but he’s an okay boy, though a bit bossy. Shy loves that part of his family very much, particularly when Kyin makes cookies and Azeer tells him war stories.

Merrill has a little brother called Cy, a nice young man that Shylock sees sometimes around the Cirque, and gets along decently with. Cy lives with Jason, one of the Cirque mechanics, and his family – a young dog boy named Jeffy, and a little kirin girl named Emaline. They’re very nice people but the spawn finds it a bit uncomfortable them on occasion, particularly since he has so little in common with most of that part of the family.

His Papa has a bunch of cousins who live at the Cirque with their families. They’re all pretty cool but Shy doesn’t see them as often as he sees his family. His Dad has lots of friends at the Cirque too, and he sees them all the time. Though these people aren’t all related, they fall under the category of family. His Dad says its because home is where the heart is, and family is the people you care about. Shylock’s not so sure about the home bit, but he is sure that if family is the people he cares about, he must care about a lot of people to have such a huge family.

Trapeze

His Dad took him to try riding the trapeze once. It was high off the ground and Shylock was nervous about trying it. But Zane suited him up with the right gear and the two of them climbed the trapeze tower together. Looking out over the gym, his father’s hand on his shoulder as he secured an extra clip to the trapeze they were to be going on, the boy felt strange. This feeling was neither a feeling of freedom or fear. When they jumped, the green haired toddler found himself staring at the people below them and wondering if any of the rest of them could do this. Probably could, but still, it felt good and worth being proud that the one who could do this so well was his dad. And that was worth it all.
