Darius waved goodbye to Erin before he glanced over at Roy to smile softly at him. He did look down at Blake after the boy was mentioned and sighed.

“Uh huh. The sweetest. I bet he’ll still be a sweet little sausage even when he grows up.” He commented, chuckling quietly afterwards.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

Roy immediately gasped in a scared way and covered Darius’s mouth with his hand.

“Don’t say stuff like that! I don’t want him to grow up. Never! Never ever. Shut up.”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

Darius gently removed Roy’s hand and raised an eyebrow at him before simply shaking his head at the demon’s reaction.

“Fine then…Meanie.” He replied and stuck his tongue out at the man.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"I'm not mean.." Roy pouted boyishly, rubbing his cheek against his husband's shoulder. He then gave a heavy sigh.

"Love meeee. I need plenty of love to live."

“Oh….Uh. Right….” Alex mumbled and rubbed his face a little bit, still feeling bad. He nodded afterwards though so that there wouldn’t be a continuous negative vibe to the room.

“Yeah, no prob. You guys should try some too.” He called to the others.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Heh, they sure look good, huh?” Roy smiled sweetly at Erin and took a seat on the couch.

“We could make a little business, heh!”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Yep.” Erin nodded her head in response and returned the smile before looking around at the others as she remained standing.

“I think I’m gonna get to bed now. I’m already exhausted and everything. So..goodnight.” She added after a couple seconds and turned to leave the room.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"Sweet dreams!" Roy called after her fondly and then settled on playing with his husband's hair while observing Blake.

"What a sweet sausage."

The family exchanged looks. Obviously they had no idea what Marshall was reading about, being preoccupied with their own conversations.

“Oh? Who is it?” Alex had to ask.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

Roy turned to look back at Alex and gave him an awkward type of smile, as if he wanted to answer for his brother, but couldn’t. Marshall had clearly heard Alex since he glanced at him, though stayed quiet.

“Hey, why don’t you head to bed and get some rest ? It’s been a long day, yeah ?” Roy spoke up once more, facing the vampire again, who chose to listen and left the room without much of a sound.

[archived-yourwateryprince]

Alex frowned after watching Marshall leave and rubbed the back of his neck. The others stayed relatively quiet for a little bit, glancing some more at each other.

“Uh….” Alex began, knowing he had something to say, though he didn’t know how to phrase it.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Eheh. Sorry. Did you wanna say something?” Roy called back to the elemental, setting the newspaper onto a nearby coffee table so he wouldn’t have to look at it either.

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Well I mean, I’m still sorta curious about who ‘that guy’ you were talking about is..” Alex admitted and shrugged his shoulders before he simply rested his head on his hand.

“But, I guess I don’t NEED to know though. What I think I have to know right now is who I’m sleeping with tonight. Like, I don’t wanna have to spend the whole night without cuddles..” He added, glancing over at Amy who just face-palmed in response.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"He's no one important. Just a friend Marshy hasn't seen in a long time. He's dead anyway, so don't sweat it." Roy responded and offered his bowl to Alex in order to change the subject.

"Try some chips."

Some of the family members exchanged glances which were followed by some snickering.

“Marshy, Marshy! Come on. Try some!” Alex called to his pal with a grin.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Huh ? Oh, I’ll pass.” The vampire called back to his friend and returned to his reading, making his brother only pout more.

“Oh, so you can hear HIS voice, but not mine ?? You little piece of— hey. Look at me what I’m talking to ya. Stop pretending to read that darn thing, will ya ?”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

Alex watched Marshall to see how he would respond, glancing, for a moment, back at Roy again. He hadn’t noticed if Marshall was just pretending to read or not. Though he had found it somewhat strange for the vampire to be reading.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

Clearly, Roy was tired of waiting, so he simply snatched the newspaper away from his brother in order to take a look at it himself. Though, as soon as he faced the page, his attitude vanished and was replaced by a soft expression.

"Hey, Marshy..did you know the guy ?" He questioned, watching the vampire give a silent nod.

“Not sure. I mean, not everyone’s even around right now. But then again, Alex still is though so it might be just enough.” Erin answered and shrugged her shoulders while watching Roy for a while long.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Hmm, good thinking.” Roy gushed, setting the finished chips into a bowl and taking the sauces in small cups.

“Let’s see what they think of our skills, eh?”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

Erin simply nodded her head up and down in response. She walked over to the door, holding it open for Roy after helping out by taking a couple of the cups in one of her hands.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Hey, guys! Who wants some homemade chips? We made sauces to dip ‘em in, too!” Roy announced as he left the kitchen with Erin, both of them carrying bowls of chips and small cups with the sauces.

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Oooh. Sounds awesome!” Alex grinned and gave a thumbs up while Alexa smiled over at the pair as they entered the living room again.

“Of course, i bet you both did an amazing job.” She responded, exchanging a glance with Erin after speaking.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"Aww, you guys are so sweet." Roy gushed, shifting his attention to his brother who looked pretty spaced out as he read his evening newspaper.

"Maaaaaarshy~, want some chips ?" He teased, pulling the other's hair, but earning no response.

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Not sure. I mean, not everyone’s even around right now. But then again, Alex still is though so it might be just enough.” Erin answered and shrugged her shoulders while watching Roy for a while long.

Erin covered her mouth after she took notice of the pan as well. She immediately grabbed a kitchen towel and tried to fan the smoke away so it wouldn’t set the fire alarm off.

“Er….well. It’s fine if we just have one bad batch…” she chuckled awkwardly.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Yeah.. crap, I feel so dumb.” The demon laughed and started removing the burnt chips so he could put in a new batch.

“Okay, new rule; no more deep personal chats while we’re frying stuff.”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Eheh…..Sounds like a good rule.” Erin admitted, watching Roy as he replaced the chips. She glanced around at the counter after a couple moments and sighed.

“Maybe I should get to washing the stuff we’re not using.” She suggested.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"Huh? Oh, don't bother yourself with those. I'll get to 'em as soon as we finishing frying these." Roy smiled and focused on the frying pan so he wouldn't burn the other batch as well.

"Hmm, do you think it'll be enough?" 

[archived-yourwateryprince]

Erin covered her mouth after she took notice of the pan as well. She immediately grabbed a kitchen towel and tried to fan the smoke away so it wouldn’t set the fire alarm off.

“Er….well. It’s fine if we just have one bad batch…” she chuckled awkwardly.

"Okay, new rule; no more deep personal chats while we're frying stuff."

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Yeah, well as much as I appreciate that, I don’t think that’s gonna help. I’ll be fine though…I guess.” Erin replied quietly and glanced up at Roy after he placed a hand on top of her head.

“What do you mean when you say you went through something similar?” She asked after a few seconds.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Well, I don’t know how much you’ve heard about me or my brother, but we didn’t exactly have a kind childhood.” The demon explained, forcing a weak smile as he placed another round of potato slices into the frying pan.

“We STILL don’t know who our real parents are. And we’re not even real brothers, yknow…? Our origin’s been hidden from us our whole life.”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Oh….That really sucks.” Erin frowned after she listened to the demon. She hadn’t actually known much about him or Marshall to begin with and always figured that they were biological brothers. So of course, this was a surprise.

“Sorry.”

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"It's alright. We try not to think about it much." Roy nodded before flashing another smile, this time an honest one.

"Although, that punching bag sure does come in handy !" He joked, eyes wandering off to the smoke coming from his frying pan.

"Ah — ! My chips !!"

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Yeah, well as much as I appreciate that, I don’t think that’s gonna help. I’ll be fine though…I guess.” Erin replied quietly and glanced up at Roy after he placed a hand on top of her head.

“What do you mean when you say you went through something similar?” She asked after a few seconds.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"Well, I don't know how much you've heard about me or my brother, but we didn't exactly have a kind childhood." The demon explained, forcing a weak smile as he placed another round of potato slices into the frying pan.

"We STILL don't know who our real parents are. And we're not even real brothers, yknow…? Our origin's been hidden from us our whole life."

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Oh…yeah. Guess I never put a lot of thought into it since he was always so vague when talking about that sort of thing. But it seems like he does that so he won’t get emotional.” Erin responded quietly.

“And I know I’ve sort of been avoiding him lately because of….that whole situation. But I should be letting him off the hook for that. It’s my mom I’m really upset with. I guess I shouldn’t be giving HIM the cold shoulder. You know? I mean, at least he’s making an effort with me. It kinda makes me feel bad though..” She sighed, bringing more potatoes over to Roy.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

“Oh, Erin… I had no idea this was affecting you so much.” Roy frowned worriedly and accepted the potato slices from Erin.

“Why are you mad at your mom, though? I don’t get… why you’re mad at either of them. B-but, I mean.. it’s not like I’ve went through the same thing, so..”

[archived-yourwateryprince]

“Yeah, I know you probably haven’t. But, bottom line, she had been lying to my face my whole life. And I would ALWAYS ask about my real parents and about trying to find them. Every time, she’d tell me that she wished she knew them and if she ever did find my parents, she would tell me.” Erin replied, staying by Roy as he cooked.

“And now, knowing that she knew about my dad all this time and kept him from me, it’s just..a total slap in the face.. I could have actually KNOWN him..you know? And now, there’s probably not enough time for that.” She added.

[badnightosphereboy-archive]

"Hey, quit talking like that. You've got plenty of time, al'ight?" Roy retorted, stretching on a pout as he placed a hand on top of the girl's head and left it there. He then set the finished chips onto a plate.

"I get how you're feeling, though. I might've gone through something.. similar. And even though your mom probably had her reasons for keeping you in the dark, you've got every right to be pissed. I have a punching bag in my room, if you ever feel like smashing her face."
