Atticus sighed as he tried a little target practice with a gun. He had been encouraged to try it out but it wasn’t exactly his thing. “ how does he make it look so easy…….plus he said he help me practice” He sighed thinking of a certain vampire as he tried another shot. “ this is easier with my powers” he mumbled.

The darker being was watching him chuckling darkly he fired 3 round from his massive pistol hitting all 3 targets with such force they shattered.

“It takes time and patience~” he purred from behind the smaller male

“In other words it reacts to me and my powers……..” Atticus could already feel something drawing him toward the book, it wanted to be opened. He took a deep breath as he slowly approached the book looking at Kabuto for reassurance before reaching his hand out toward the book.

He felt a chill run through his body as he touch the books cover his eyes starting to glow brightly as the book opened to page with ancient picture of a black crown surrounded by green flames. ~You who were granted the power of the Ghost King beware of the fury your father brings~ A voice echoed as a green aura surrounded the book and Atticus. “Information…..to much…to much” He mumbled as images started flashing in his head like a rapid slide show. Writing started to appear on the blank pages of the book along with images of evil king and his creation.

Atticus steadied himself as he slowly stood back up, a wave of guilt washing over. “Forgive me, this was a terrible idea to begin with…..it’s clear that book and whatever it’s linked to is to dangerous, even if its about me” Atticus was walking over to the book tempted to just destroy it right then and there. “I think you should seal this thing up, who knows the trouble it could cause if we try to open it again” he said looking at Kabuto. “You okay?”

Kabuto gently took it back

“It is alright. It wasnt a bad idea, its just abit unstable tho now that it is unlocked I can use my own magic to keep it sealed and lest read it to see what it is about for you”

Ryu growled abit not liking the idea but he knew better than to speak out of turn to his elder brother

“Ummmm I think I need some fresh air before….before dealing with that book again” Atticus said moving by Ryu side gently grabbing on to his arm for comfort. He was already hesitant about opening the book but now he almost regretted doing it. There was something off about the book and whatever connection it had to his father made him even more nervous. “Ryu how….how about a quick walk outside please” Atticus asked looking at him feeling a bit worried on the inside but trying not to show it.

Ryuzaki nodded taking atticus out and into the garden.

“Just breath its ok” he spoke softly to him.

-

Kabuto blinked looking at the book feeling something pull at him like a voice telling him to open it again. Like being hypnotized he did open it up.

“What the”

Atticus had felt such unease since he was on the run from his father. All those tucked way emotions came flooding back all because of that book. He hugged himself tightly trying not to freak out and calm down as Ryu led him out to the garden. “Ryu I have this bad feeling, really bad…..that book should be destroyed” Atticus mumbled looking over at him. “I should tell Al but he is resting”.

Danny was flying around the ghost zone looking over his map ever sense his accident he’d hidden away here In the ghost zone I mean his family were ghost hunters. “Uhg so many dn portals.” He zipped through one looking around “huh. I don’t remember this area” he noticed a massive kingdom curious he put husap away turning invisible he flew down and exploring the castle

“Wonder who lives here ”

Atticus sighed happy having cleaned and prepared the meat, now ready for some assistance from his little kitchen helper beside him. “Alright Chirp here is where you come in little one” Atticus smiled making a few of the seasonings float around their son before stopping right in front of him. “I want to shake these over the meat, so they taste really good when we cook it. Can you do that for me” he ask gently tapping Chirps nose.

The child’s eyes lit up with exsitment taking the seasoning jars tho he was also carful he shook them onto the food till Atticus said it was enough and moved to the next. Once it was all seasoned his tail wagged.

“Smells yummy!”

Ryu laughed “just wait till its cooked will smell even better”

“Well I sure hope it taste as good as it smells. Thank you my little kitchen helper, it would taste especially good thanks to you” Atticus said gently ruffling Chirps head before adding the final touch. “Alright now it should be ready to be cooked. Can we leave the cooking to our favorite lovable person” he smiled giving puppy dog eyes to Ryu.

The man snorted softly taking the prepared food and setting it in the hot pan of oil fhe sizzling had chirp climb up ryus back like he was a tree and watch over his shoulder.

The little one not only lost both parents at one point but got them back and added a third. He still sometimes had nightmares but he was happy to have a full family again.

“Soon your guna be to big to do that to me kiddo”

“Merrr” he whined nuzzled ryus head

Atticus chuckled standing beside Ryu watching along with Chirp as the meat sizzled in the pan.“I guess then he has to climb while he can, when he gets older you will be the one long for these moments” Atticus chuckled softly pressing a quick kiss to Ryu cheek first then one to Chirps. “Lucky we have a while before he gets that big, at this size he is easier to snuggle” he smiled sighing happily as the smell of the seasoning cooking started to fill the kitchen.

The bou giggled loudly wings flapping abit as he was giving the kiss on the cheek.

Ryu snorted “Heh true.” He put the cooked meat on a plate once it was done to cool for s bit he broke a small bite off for chirp to try the child happily opening his mouth up and letting ryu feed it to him.

“Mm!”

Atticus wafted the aroma coming from the cooked meat to his nose, sighing happily. “Hmmmm it smells delicious and judging by our little taste tester it’s good on the tongue too” he smiled making a tiny piece float into his mouth too. “Now there is only one more person that I hope enjoys this just as much. Paired with a side of fresh fruit it’s real meal” Atticus smiled happily.

Atticus crashed one their bed, mentally drained from his first day of being an actually king. He knew it wasn't easy but he didn't expect it would as tiring as it was. Kicking his shoes off he didn't even have the energy to get out of his royal attire. "Ryu babe.....would you mind helping me please".

Ryu now recovered from the last few days nodded helping peal Atticus out of his cloths.

“Yah look beat”

Atticus looked around hearing someone with a loud voice welcome them cheerfully. “Thank you for having us kind sir……wait Ryu the ruler of this magical place is your uncle? That makes a lot of sense now that I think about it” he chuckled his nervousness seemingly fading at the knowledge.

Ryuzaki laughed softly tho the elf lord hugged each of them.

“Oof! I uh” Koran smiled at his guests.

“Oh not by blood but Lord Tamotsu and I are childhood friends so I’m more of a God uncle”

Ryu nodded “yeah that haha”

Atticus was a bit caught off guard by the sudden the hug greeting however it was a welcomed warm gesture. “Ohhh I get it, that makes more sense now. A pleasure to meet you sir” he said being released from the hug. “I don’t think I have travelled to a realm more breath taking that yours. The ghost zone is not nearly as lively” Atticus explained gesturing to the fact his home was so intertwined with nature.

The man smiled lilies seemed to sprout from his hair.

“Ah yes we high elves are very respectful to the mother tree. This is the tree of life”

Atticus was simple amazed as nature almost seemed to react to Koran, the connection between everyone and the tree was a spectacle. “The mother tree…….” he mumbled his eyes glowing brightly as he reached out to touch it. “Wow talk about a powerful force of nature” Atticus said able looking at his hand. “You both might have to drag me back home after bringing me to such a place” he said feeling the strong desire to just fly through the leaves of the massive tree.

Ryu laughed softly

“Heh I mean your welcome here long as you want ” he smiled msrko grinning as he hopped up onto a branch

“As much as I would love to just stay in a place even I know that it wouldn’t be possible” Atticus said opening his hands summoning the ghost kings black crown. “I have a heavy responsibility. While I still feel like I’m not the best to rule the ghost zone if I don’t who know what accident evil might try and take Pariah place” he said making the crown Return back home. “A few days is here is all I desire…..” Atticus sighed.

Quincy had a feeling today was going to be a troublesome day. He was right when he heard the knock at the door. On the other side was Kuya. He looked at Atticus. "Dont answer it" he knew Atticus would answer it anyway

"Oh don't be like that babe, getting visitors is a welcomed change of pace......besides it might someone.....interesting" Atticus said floating over to the door opening it. He was definitely right about their guest being interesting, in addition to being unexpected. "Kuya....well isn't this a surprise, Quincy a friend of yours is here" he said.

Kuya nodded listening. "Your father sounds like alot of work. I am sorry" Quincy just held Atticus to comfort him. "He can't get to you here. You are safe"

"It really okay........" Atticus took a light deep breath not allowing his mind to drift to far down that path. He leaned into Quincy gently nuzzling him. "Im in a good place now, for one I have the best support system with Quincy and Topper. Then I actually have friends who care about my well being...." Atticus sighed nodding as he considered the good things have come into his existence. "I have day where I struggle but I have them less often because of Quincy. Im grateful for his love" Atticus smiled.

Quincy nods and holds Atticus tightly. He smiled and nuzzled him more. Kuya continues to listen. "That is good that my old friend is able to make you happy. He deserves to have that happiness as well"

Quincy stared at the fox "your being nice for once."

"I can be nice sometimes!" The fox replied

Atticus kissed Quincy cheek as he was nuzzled, their physical love language speaking volumes. “Well as long as Quincy will have me by his side I intend to give him the happiness he deserves everyday or at least play a part in it. I mean that is part the whole marriage deal when we said our vows” he smiled leaning his head on his husbands shoulder. “Plus I’ve gained new friends and met good people from being with this lovable teddy bear. For example the one who stopped by today …..” Atticus said lifting his hand toward Kuya.

Kuya blinks. "Well i am glad you think of me as a friend."

Quincy chuckled a bit at the foxes confusion. "He thinks you have goodness somewhere in there"

“Other than my father who is pure evil, I think most people have goodness in them; or at least that’s how I like to think” Atticus said leaning against Quincy having finished his food rubbing his stomach lightly. “The same way everyone has a little bad in them. I didn’t always use to be a lovable ghost” he chuckled his eyes glowing brighter for a moment. “I’m sure there’s good in ya Kuya. The fact you decided to just drop by even to check on your friend tells me so” he smiled.

He was definitely right about their guest being interesting, in addition to being unexpected. "Kuya....well isn't this a surprise, Quincy a friend of yours is here" he said.

"Oh my dear old friend would rather I left" Kuya smiles seeing Quincy walk over and hold Atticus close. "What do you want?" He asked looking grumpy. "Can't i just come to say hi?" "No" "well its up to your husband if I should leave. Then I will tell you why im here."

Atticus smiled as Quincy held him, his teddy bear of a husband was a protective one. "Awww Quincy be nice, it wouldn't be kind to turn away someone who took time to pop over for a visit. Besides....." He said turning his attention to look at Kuya. "When's the last time Kuya came our way. Surely its not cause trouble" he smiled recalling the first time he met Kuya at the Christmas gathering a while back.

"I remember that Atticus wanted to see the others again. Also I needed to grab some of the fruit wine you make. I had a craving" Kuya explained before walking inside and looking at the two of them. "Now did i interrupt something?"

"Yes.. we were going to have dinner. I suppose you want to join..." Quincy replied

Kuya smiled "I would love to try it!" Of course his ulterior motives were to be a pain to his old friend

Atticus took a moment looking between Quincy and Kuya, there was an interesting vibe between the two. Not nesscarily a hostile one but judging from how tight Quincy was holding him, it was exactly welcoming. "Im sure we have enough for one more mouth visiting our house. Me and Quincy are pretty good in the kitchen together so Im sure it will be tasty" he said lightly tapping Quincy arms around him. "Ummm love are we walking like this now" Atticus chuckled softly.

Quincy grumbled as he released Atticus to walk to the kitchen but as soon as they made it to the table be grabbed onto Atticus again. Kuya chuckled again as he watched them. He sat down at the other end of the table as Topper looked between Quincy and Kuya. "You dont need to be so hostile old friend." The fox replied.

Quincy huffed again and loosened his grip. "Thats normally how we eat though with you on my lap unless we have company."

"Yes normally I have the best seat in the house but this once I think I can sit beside you while Kuya is joining us" Atticus blushed a bit and chuckled kissing Quincy cheek. He found it kind of cute the way Quincy was acting. "Besides Im also curious what maybe could have brought our guess into our neck of the woods literally? I can't recall this last time you popped in on us" Atticus said lifting his hand using his powers to make them all a plate of food and float over to the table. "Coming to make sure Quincy and Topper are doing okay" he asked.

"I actually live in the same territory as the two of you. But on the other side of the forest." Kuya explained. "As I said I recalled you wanted to spend more time together." He gave yet another smile that made Quincy uneasy. It wasnt above the fox to be kind some days. But it was hard to tell if it was genuine. Quincy nods and started to eat.

"So what are we having tonight?" The fox asked and Topper squeaked at him saying it was a pot pie with fresh vegetables and a chicken. Kuya nods understanding. "Very good."

“It’s nothing to extravagant just a warm filling home cooked meal we put together. It’s kinda of become a family like thing for us to cook together. Topper know his way around a kitchen” Atticus chuckled softly giving his little buddy some gentle head scratches. Glancing over at his husband he smiled as he started to eat. Atticus could tell Quincy still uneasy with Kuya sudden visit but at least he seem to be relaxing on the surface. “It nice to have company my brother said he wanted to come by with Olivine when they had some time to themselves. I’d love to get together again like we did around Christmas that was truly enjoyable” Atticus said before starting to eat.

Kuya nodded as he started to eat. "Its not drowning in seasonings which is good or lacking in it. My old friends cooking must have improved."

Quincy grumbled at that comment. "When I cooked before it was efficiency."

Kuya then thought. "The young master will be sure to invite us all back for some gathering again. He always does"

"Hey I won't turn down an opportunity to have a fun and be around good company" Atticus chuckled taking a short moment to think. "A lot things happened the last time we were all together, things that really changed my existence for the better" he said looking down at his ring a warm smile coming to his face. "I think you do a wonderful job in the kitchen love......espically when you let me and Topper lend a hand" Atticus said kissing Quincy cheek hearing his grumbling. He found a sense of humor seeing the relationship Kuya and Quincy had.

Kuya nods watching the two with a slight sense of jealousy but he wouldnt show it. He was happy that Quincy had found happiness. He just was lonely. He continues to eat.

Quincy noticed the sadness in Kuya's eyes and he sighed. "You have the little devil to keep you entertained." He then returned Atticus's kiss

“Take it from someone who didn’t believe it at first…..there is a special someone for everybody. I just was lucky enough to find my special someone and actually he thought I was worth keeping around” Atticus chuckled leaning against Quincy. “I still find it funny just how we met but I wouldn’t change it for anything…..even though our first conversation I was hanging in a net trap……good times” he sighed shaking his head.

Kuya nods "of course I know that." He took a bite of food and listened. "That must have been rather comical."

Quincy nods and kisses Atticus on the forehead. "I still wouldnt change it for anything. I wouldnt be as happy as I am today"

"You met me when I was in a bad place in my existence Quincy. I was alone, always looking over my shoulder, that day I couldn't even use my powers to get out of a simple net" Atticus sighed reflecting on the day that they met. "Yet you showed me kindness, plus you and Topper opened your home to me. Then you sweep me of my feet....all your that charm of yours" he chuckled blushing gently touching the spot Quincy kissed on his forehead.

Kuya nodded. "Then it is fate you two met. If you had been in my part of the forest the yokai would have tormented you for being human like."

Quincy held Atticus again and nuzzles him. "I dont do much besides try to keep you smiling."

“Hey you do plenty Quincy and because of you I find it so easy to smile my big teddy bear” Atticus chuckled softly blushing and nuzzling his husband back. To say that Atticus loved Quincy was an understatement, he adored his husband with his heart and beyond. “Between you and me Kuya it wouldn’t have been the first time evil spirits tormented me, or tired at least. I’m safe here but before I met Quincy I was a target simple because of my fathers misdeeds” he sighed shaking his head. “Its’s a long story” Atticus mumbled.

Atticus crashed one their bed, mentally drained from his first day of being an actually king. He knew it wasn't easy but he didn't expect it would as tiring as it was. Kicking his shoes off he didn't even have the energy to get out of his royal attire. "Ryu babe.....would you mind helping me please".

Ryu now recovered from the last few days nodded helping peal Atticus out of his cloths.

“Yah look beat”

"You both might have to drag me back home after bringing me to such a place" he said feeling the strong desire to just fly through the leaves of the massive tree.

Danny was flying around the ghost zone looking over his map ever sense his accident he’d hidden away here In the ghost zone I mean his family were ghost hunters. “Uhg so many dn portals.” He zipped through one looking around “huh.

Atticus sighed happy having cleaned and prepared the meat, now ready for some assistance from his little kitchen helper beside him. “Alright Chirp here is where you come in little one” Atticus smiled making a few of the seasonings float around their son before stopping right in front of him. “I want to shake these over the meat, so they taste really good when we cook it. Can you do that for me” he ask gently tapping Chirps nose.

The child’s eyes lit up with exsitment taking the seasoning jars tho he was also carful he shook them onto the food till Atticus said it was enough and moved to the next. Once it was all seasoned his tail wagged.

“Smells yummy!”

Ryu laughed “just wait till its cooked will smell even better”

“Well I sure hope it taste as good as it smells. Thank you my little kitchen helper, it would taste especially good thanks to you” Atticus said gently ruffling Chirps head before adding the final touch. “Alright now it should be ready to be cooked. Can we leave the cooking to our favorite lovable person” he smiled giving puppy dog eyes to Ryu.

The man snorted softly taking the prepared food and setting it in the hot pan of oil fhe sizzling had chirp climb up ryus back like he was a tree and watch over his shoulder.

The little one not only lost both parents at one point but got them back and added a third. He still sometimes had nightmares but he was happy to have a full family again.

“Soon your guna be to big to do that to me kiddo”

“Merrr” he whined nuzzled ryus head

Atticus chuckled standing beside Ryu watching along with Chirp as the meat sizzled in the pan."I guess then he has to climb while he can, when he gets older you will be the one long for these moments" Atticus chuckled softly pressing a quick kiss to Ryu cheek first then one to Chirps. "Lucky we have a while before he gets that big, at this size he is easier to snuggle" he smiled sighing happily as the smell of the seasoning cooking started to fill the kitchen.

Atticus sighed as he tried a little target practice with a gun. He had been encouraged to try it out but it wasn’t exactly his thing. “ how does he make it look so easy…….plus he said he help me practice” He sighed thinking of a certain vampire as he tried another shot. “ this is easier with my powers” he mumbled.

The darker being was watching him chuckling darkly he fired 3 round from his massive pistol hitting all 3 targets with such force they shattered.

“It takes time and patience~” he purred from behind the smaller male

“In other words it reacts to me and my powers……..” Atticus could already feel something drawing him toward the book, it wanted to be opened. He took a deep breath as he slowly approached the book looking at Kabuto for reassurance before reaching his hand out toward the book.

He felt a chill run through his body as he touch the books cover his eyes starting to glow brightly as the book opened to page with ancient picture of a black crown surrounded by green flames. ~You who were granted the power of the Ghost King beware of the fury your father brings~ A voice echoed as a green aura surrounded the book and Atticus. “Information…..to much…to much” He mumbled as images started flashing in his head like a rapid slide show. Writing started to appear on the blank pages of the book along with images of evil king and his creation.

Atticus steadied himself as he slowly stood back up, a wave of guilt washing over. “Forgive me, this was a terrible idea to begin with…..it’s clear that book and whatever it’s linked to is to dangerous, even if its about me” Atticus was walking over to the book tempted to just destroy it right then and there. “I think you should seal this thing up, who knows the trouble it could cause if we try to open it again” he said looking at Kabuto. “You okay?”

Kabuto gently took it back

“It is alright. It wasnt a bad idea, its just abit unstable tho now that it is unlocked I can use my own magic to keep it sealed and lest read it to see what it is about for you”

Ryu growled abit not liking the idea but he knew better than to speak out of turn to his elder brother

“Ummmm I think I need some fresh air before….before dealing with that book again” Atticus said moving by Ryu side gently grabbing on to his arm for comfort. He was already hesitant about opening the book but now he almost regretted doing it.

Kuya nods watching the two with a slight sense of jealousy but he wouldnt show it. He was happy that Quincy had found happiness. He just was lonely. He continues to eat.

Quincy noticed the sadness in Kuya's eyes and he sighed. "You have the little devil to keep you entertained." He then returned Atticus's kiss

“Take it from someone who didn’t believe it at first…..there is a special someone for everybody. I just was lucky enough to find my special someone and actually he thought I was worth keeping around” Atticus chuckled leaning against Quincy. “I still find it funny just how we met but I wouldn’t change it for anything…..even though our first conversation I was hanging in a net trap……good times” he sighed shaking his head.

Kuya nods "of course I know that." He took a bite of food and listened. "That must have been rather comical."

Quincy nods and kisses Atticus on the forehead. "I still wouldnt change it for anything. I wouldnt be as happy as I am today"

"You met me when I was in a bad place in my existence Quincy. I was alone, always looking over my shoulder, that day I couldn't even use my powers to get out of a simple net" Atticus sighed reflecting on the day that they met. "Yet you showed me kindness, plus you and Topper opened your home to me. Then you sweep me of my feet....all your that charm of yours" he chuckled blushing gently touching the spot Quincy kissed on his forehead.

‘ you talk in your sleep. ’

‘ it’s four in the morning. why are you still up? ’

‘ i’ll be right here when you wake up. ’

‘ every time i close my eyes, i see it. over and over again. ’

‘ wake up! it’s only a dream! ’

‘ i have tea. will that help you sleep? ’

‘ i’m so tired… but i have to stay awake. ’

‘ it was just a dream? ’

‘ you need a nap. ’

‘ time for bed. no ifs, ands, or buts. ’

‘ it was just a dream. ’

‘ don’t worry. i’ll keep the monsters away tonight. ’

‘ if you don’t get some sleep soon, you’ll make yourself sick. ’

‘ you haven’t slept in days. do you want to talk about it? ’

‘ i had a bad dream. is it okay if i sleep in here? ’

‘ i’ll go to bed when i’m ready, so fuck off. ’

‘ i’m. not. sleepy. ’

‘ you’ll feel better after a good night’s sleep. ’

‘ could you stay with me – just until i fall asleep? ’

‘ there’s no one else here. it was all a bad dream. ’

‘ you’re spilling milk all over the table. ’

‘ c’mon, lazybones. you’ve slept enough. ’

Quincy had a feeling today was going to be a troublesome day. He was right when he heard the knock at the door. On the other side was Kuya. He looked at Atticus. "Dont answer it" he knew Atticus would answer it anyway

"Oh don't be like that babe, getting visitors is a welcomed change of pace......besides it might someone.....interesting" Atticus said floating over to the door opening it. He was definitely right about their guest being interesting, in addition to being unexpected. "Kuya....well isn't this a surprise, Quincy a friend of yours is here" he said.

"Oh my dear old friend would rather I left" Kuya smiles seeing Quincy walk over and hold Atticus close. "What do you want?" He asked looking grumpy. "Can't i just come to say hi?" "No" "well its up to your husband if I should leave. Then I will tell you why im here."

Atticus smiled as Quincy held him, his teddy bear of a husband was a protective one. "Awww Quincy be nice, it wouldn't be kind to turn away someone who took time to pop over for a visit. Besides....." He said turning his attention to look at Kuya. "When's the last time Kuya came our way. Surely its not cause trouble" he smiled recalling the first time he met Kuya at the Christmas gathering a while back.

"I remember that Atticus wanted to see the others again. Also I needed to grab some of the fruit wine you make. I had a craving" Kuya explained before walking inside and looking at the two of them. "Now did i interrupt something?"

"Yes.. we were going to have dinner. I suppose you want to join..." Quincy replied

Kuya smiled "I would love to try it!" Of course his ulterior motives were to be a pain to his old friend

Atticus took a moment looking between Quincy and Kuya, there was an interesting vibe between the two. Not nesscarily a hostile one but judging from how tight Quincy was holding him, it was exactly welcoming. "Im sure we have enough for one more mouth visiting our house. Me and Quincy are pretty good in the kitchen together so Im sure it will be tasty" he said lightly tapping Quincy arms around him. "Ummm love are we walking like this now" Atticus chuckled softly.

Quincy grumbled as he released Atticus to walk to the kitchen but as soon as they made it to the table be grabbed onto Atticus again. Kuya chuckled again as he watched them. He sat down at the other end of the table as Topper looked between Quincy and Kuya. "You dont need to be so hostile old friend." The fox replied.

Quincy huffed again and loosened his grip. "Thats normally how we eat though with you on my lap unless we have company."

"Yes normally I have the best seat in the house but this once I think I can sit beside you while Kuya is joining us" Atticus blushed a bit and chuckled kissing Quincy cheek. He found it kind of cute the way Quincy was acting. "Besides Im also curious what maybe could have brought our guess into our neck of the woods literally? I can't recall this last time you popped in on us" Atticus said lifting his hand using his powers to make them all a plate of food and float over to the table. "Coming to make sure Quincy and Topper are doing okay" he asked.

"I actually live in the same territory as the two of you. But on the other side of the forest." Kuya explained. "As I said I recalled you wanted to spend more time together." He gave yet another smile that made Quincy uneasy. It wasnt above the fox to be kind some days. But it was hard to tell if it was genuine. Quincy nods and started to eat.

"So what are we having tonight?" The fox asked and Topper squeaked at him saying it was a pot pie with fresh vegetables and a chicken. Kuya nods understanding. "Very good."

“It’s nothing to extravagant just a warm filling home cooked meal we put together. It’s kinda of become a family like thing for us to cook together. Topper know his way around a kitchen” Atticus chuckled softly giving his little buddy some gentle head scratches. Glancing over at his husband he smiled as he started to eat. Atticus could tell Quincy still uneasy with Kuya sudden visit but at least he seem to be relaxing on the surface. “It nice to have company my brother said he wanted to come by with Olivine when they had some time to themselves. I’d love to get together again like we did around Christmas that was truly enjoyable” Atticus said before starting to eat.

Kuya nodded as he started to eat. "Its not drowning in seasonings which is good or lacking in it. My old friends cooking must have improved."

Quincy grumbled at that comment. "When I cooked before it was efficiency."

Kuya then thought. "The young master will be sure to invite us all back for some gathering again. He always does"

"Hey I won't turn down an opportunity to have a fun and be around good company" Atticus chuckled taking a short moment to think. "A lot things happened the last time we were all together, things that really changed my existence for the better" he said looking down at his ring a warm smile coming to his face. "I think you do a wonderful job in the kitchen love......espically when you let me and Topper lend a hand" Atticus said kissing Quincy cheek hearing his grumbling. He found a sense of humor seeing the relationship Kuya and Quincy had.

He found a sense of humor seeing the relationship Kuya and Quincy had.

Atticus crashed one their bed, mentally drained from his first day of being an actually king. He knew it wasn't easy but he didn't expect it would as tiring as it was. Kicking his shoes off he didn't even have the energy to get out of his royal attire. "Ryu babe.....would you mind helping me please".

Ryu now recovered from the last few days nodded helping peal Atticus out of his cloths.

“Yah look beat”

Atticus looked around hearing someone with a loud voice welcome them cheerfully. “Thank you for having us kind sir……wait Ryu the ruler of this magical place is your uncle? That makes a lot of sense now that I think about it” he chuckled his nervousness seemingly fading at the knowledge.

Ryuzaki laughed softly tho the elf lord hugged each of them.

“Oof! I uh” Koran smiled at his guests.

“Oh not by blood but Lord Tamotsu and I are childhood friends so I’m more of a God uncle”

Ryu nodded “yeah that haha”

Atticus was a bit caught off guard by the sudden the hug greeting however it was a welcomed warm gesture. “Ohhh I get it, that makes more sense now. A pleasure to meet you sir” he said being released from the hug. “I don’t think I have travelled to a realm more breath taking that yours. The ghost zone is not nearly as lively” Atticus explained gesturing to the fact his home was so intertwined with nature.

Danny was flying around the ghost zone looking over his map ever sense his accident he’d hidden away here In the ghost zone I mean his family were ghost hunters. “Uhg so many dn portals.” He zipped through one looking around “huh. I don’t remember this area” he noticed a massive kingdom curious he put husap away turning invisible he flew down and exploring the castle

“Wonder who lives here ”

@ghostprince-rule

Atticus sighed happy having cleaned and prepared the meat, now ready for some assistance from his little kitchen helper beside him. “Alright Chirp here is where you come in little one” Atticus smiled making a few of the seasonings float around their son before stopping right in front of him. “I want to shake these over the meat, so they taste really good when we cook it. Can you do that for me” he ask gently tapping Chirps nose.

The child’s eyes lit up with exsitment taking the seasoning jars tho he was also carful he shook them onto the food till Atticus said it was enough and moved to the next. Once it was all seasoned his tail wagged.

“Smells yummy!”

Ryu laughed “just wait till its cooked will smell even better”

“Well I sure hope it taste as good as it smells. Thank you my little kitchen helper, it would taste especially good thanks to you” Atticus said gently ruffling Chirps head before adding the final touch. “Alright now it should be ready to be cooked. Can we leave the cooking to our favorite lovable person” he smiled giving puppy dog eyes to Ryu.
