Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vanna crushed the pen in his hand and stared at the papers again. He needed to finalize this deal and gain back the money he had lost. Otherwise he would have to employ both his enforcers and Apollyon and Fon were being awkward towards each other lately.
Actually thinking about Fon wouldn’t help clear his mind either. The Geist hybrid had a softer heart than others thought. He fell in love easily and cared more easily then people would have thought. Which lead to his current problem in a tiny way.

While he kept the crime in his city down and controlled, he was also mafia boss and during October he definitely dealt in soul stones. This morning a mother had attacked him, cursing at him for giving her the soul stone, that he didn’t know how it felt to want to awaken a child and watch it die....
Personally they were the stupid ones, everyone knew that most hallowed children didn’t make it. However she was right, he didn’t know how it felt. Secretly he had watched Yami and Fon find and grow their family. Watched mai find her family.... he wanted..... he wanted a child.

Janus wasn't sure what help he could be. Vanna had been very... busy lately. The chimera was tense and something was clearly on his mind. Janus didn't know much about what exactly Vanna did, and frankly he didn't want to know. But he wanted to help. He really did care for the chimera. Maybe some tea would help? He had his favorite blend steeping as he carried a tray towards the room he knew Vanna was in.

"Vanna?" He called through the door. "...I brought you some tea. My hands are full, could you open the door?"

Hissing at the ink spilling over his fingers, he used his non inked hand to push away the papers and reach for pack of napkins he left in his desk. When the door knocked, he looked over at the clock. Damn two hours and he still hadn’t put a dent in that document. Well obviously it was time to try something different.
“Yeah, Okay. Opening it now Janus” he stared using his non messy hand and opening the door. He really should just put a charm on it so that he could open it from his desk. “Sorry for the silence, document is not cooperating. Tea smells wonderful”

"That's alright." He smiled. "I know you're busy, so I wanted to help. I don't know how much help I can really be, but... I hope you like the tea." He looked at the desk, then carefully set the tray of tea down so it wouldn't mess anything up. "Looks like you had a bit of an issue." He noticed the puddle of ink on the desk, and then saw Vanna's hand. He smiled and grabbed a napkin to help clean up the desk. "Do you want to talk about what's on your mind?"

"this helps a lot" Vanna answered making sure to give a fond smile. "Its always nice to know you have people worried about you. well maybed worried isnt the right word. Maybe people who care would be better." He took a sip of tea from the tray and looked down at the paperwork again. "Mmm the pens werent as chimera proof as they looked. I just let selfish thoughts cloud my judgement. Some lady came up to me and was yelling about a buisness transaction one of my people did. It made me remember I've really wanted children, thats all." It was selfish to awaken this month after all.

Janus took a cup of tea and sat down to listen to what Vanna had to say. He did worry about Vanna, but that was because he cared. "Well, now I know what to get you for the holidays." He tried to cheer Vanna up when he mentioned the pens. "Vanna..." He set his cup down, then moved over beside Vanna. "It's ok to have selfish thoughts." He touched Vanna's cheek. So Vanna wanted kids? That was sweet, and rather endearing. "You think that's selfish? Vanna, everyone is allowed to want things. And this isn't something ridiculous like taking over the world. You'd be a good father." He swallowed thickly and blushed a little. "You know... I wouldn't mind being a parent."

"It was more the month this is than wanting to be a father and of course my job. I mean I know my men and friends pull it off pretty well but they arent the boss" Vanna pointed out having taken his own seat when he had first started to drink the tea, but really once he knew the children existed, its not like he couldnt wait until november to pop the stone. He was brought out of his thoughts by Janus's hand on his cheek and his gaze flickered up to hold Janus's. He opened his mouth a couple of times to say something, before wetting his lip and trying again.
"are you sure Janus? I mean I would love for you to be the other parent but I do have a lot of secrets." Some would also say he wasnt a nice man either, but to him family was everything. His work persona never transfered over to his private life, well unless they were in great danger. Still he was also happy janus thought he would be a good dad.

"The month..." he repeated with a soft smile. "I know it can be hard for parents and children in this cursed month..." after all, Janus himself was a hollow. "Everyone has secrets... but not all of them are bad. I know there is a lot about your life I dont know, and perhaps I'm better off not knowing. But I will still be here for you if you end up looking like you ent through a cheese grater again." He teased before moving his face in close to Vanna's. "Imbue with me." He whispered softly before kissing Vanna, just to the side of his lips.

“Mmm probably safer if you don’t know either” Vanna mused quietly as he gave a small smile back. “so certain that a cheese grater is going to attack me again are we? I don’t often get shot you know”. Still it was only a matter of time until the next blow out between families, and he didn’t plan on loosing his memory next time. However that wasn’t the time to be thinking such thoughts. Faved with the demand, he leaned forward and kissed Janus back.
“And of course how am I suppose to say no to such a request. Of course I will” was his answer.
