Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didnât have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldnât explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldnât keep on weight.
Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.
His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didnât start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dogâs mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.
Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, âyou must have lived there in a past life!!!â He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldnât know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.
Vlad currently was shaking a martini up at his job, dressed like a bard he acted as bartender. For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like âWhat is Love?â, to âCareless Whisperâ, all the way to âBad Romanceâ. It was a busy night and the sounds of rolling dice filled the air.
Hades looked at kit he wanted to marry him, he had a ring in the works and everything he had been planning the perfect proposal but did that change now that they were going to have a child?
"how do you think she'll feel being raised by an angel and a demon?" Hades asked with a nervous laugh he was trying to lighten the mood and wanted to force himself more out of this state he had thrown himself in. Then he heard the creak if the hallway and looked up seeing the little one peeking nervously around the corner and he panicked until he remembered kit said she didn't speak English
"did I do something wrong?' Felicity asked in french worriedly had she messed up something do soon?
---
Honey wrapped her arms around his neck during the second kiss pulling him closer and if be kept kissing her like this their dinner was going to get so cold
âNo he is just over thinking things he has a mind like that.â Kit walked over. âHe was nervous if you would like him.â
-
Vlad smiled in his kisses and threaded his hands in her hair. His feet taking a step back but pulling her along with him, backing and pressing himself into a wall.
Honey followed suit pushing him back against the wall she kissed him for a few moments longer as one of her hands trailed to his chest and she made herself break the kiss to catch her breath
"don't waste much time do you?" Honey asked him softly she pressed a few more small kisses to his lips "did you want to move to the couch or the bedroom?" She asked him she didn't want to pressure him and remembered what he said about his last "girlfriend" she looked into his pretty green eyes and smiled
"we can go back to dinner too?"
--
Felicity looked over at Hades who tries to hide his worry and she looked at kit again
"who is he?" She asked timidlyas she held her new dino friend a little tighter Hades was left unsure what was going on, he didn't know understand so he was waiting for kit to translate
âI think I am well on to dessert,â Vlad chuckled giddy. âI think we should go to the bedroom?â He scooped her up carrying her there laying her down. When they had finished Vlad lay a stupid grin on his face. He cuddled to her enjoying their closeness.
-
âHe is my boyfriend soon to be fiancĂ©,â he told her in French. âI promise you he is like a teddy bear!â He looked up at Hades, âI told her you are my boyfriend and that you are like a teddy bear.â
Felicity gave a small smile and waved Hades did the same
"I'm sorry if I woke her I didn't think I was being that loud" Hades apologized he was going to look at their budgets in the morning and see what they could afford for a proper house if they were going to have a little girl they would need a proper home
--
Honey smiled and snuggled close to him in the bliss of their antics
"well dinner is cold but I think it was worth it" honey said to him she kissed him again pressing her forehead to his
Kit smiled, âyou are doing better already.â He kissed the manâs cheek. âNow then letâs get you back to bed!â He said in French kneeling down for her to piggy back ride.
-
âMmm agreed,â he smiled tracing his finger on her shoulder. âTime well spent and I hope to spend again?â He raised a brow. âI mean if you want too?â
Honey smiled and pressed another long kiss to his lips
"I hope that answers your question" she said to him pressing her forehead to his before she heard a sad whimper at the door and she laughed a little she stood up and grabbed her bathrobe before she opened the door and they were joined by the doggos who hopped up on the bed
--
Felicity shuffled her feet w little and looked at kit
"do I have too?" She asked him she had been blessed with sleep but when she woke up she couldn't stop thinking about her family and everything changing
Hades noticed how she seemed upset and picked up on what might be wrong
"would she like a movie? I think Juliet has some of her movies in the cabinet" Hades asked
Vlad laughed as he was tackled by his large pupper. âOof! Well I will say this is a good intermission too. Hi puppers!â He cuddled them and looked up at Honey adoringly. âThat being said though when we next get physical I think the cake should be involved.â
-
âBelle et la Bete?â He asked he knew that one was for sure here off the top of his head. He gestured to the tv.
Felicity nodded and smiled which had Hades smiling
"I'll get some blankets and pillows and we can all camo out on the living room" Hades suggested Juliet had one of those squishy chairs that folded out into a bed and the couch folded out into a couch as well- at least it did now with a minor miracle. Hades went Into their bedroom and grabbed the blankets and pillows for the couch bed and then Juliet's blankets for Felicity
--
Honey laughed a little bit as she sat on the bed and patted the pups
"is that because it's punny with my name or because it's sweet like you?" Honey asked him quirking a brow
Kit looked at her and smiled, âI made you croque Monsieur.â Grilled cheese with ham.
-
âNo because I want to eat it off of you.â Vlad said. âI think it will taste better that way.â
Honey laughed and her face went w little redder at the idea but she definitely wasn't opposed to the idea Cody curled up on foot of the bed and Honey curled up close to him just enjoying them being close
--
Hades smiled and took the sandwich kissing his cheek and sitting down in the bed Felicity only got halfway through the movie before she finally fell asleep and Hades was relieved
"I don't understand kids but I definitely understand over thinking" Hades said with a small smile she had just needed a distraction
Vlad hummed and cuddled with her, âyou know this is wonderful. I havenât been so happy in so long.â He pressed kisses to her.
-
âSee youâre a better Father than you realize.â Kit kissed his belovedâs lips.
Honey hummed agreeing with her she wished that every day could be like this, waking up in his arms cuddled by their doggos and amazing sex with an amazing person
--
Hades rolled his eyes
"I just know anxiety and trauma. No doubt if we're going to have a child she is going to need therapy" Hades said to him but despite his own self doubt he smiled as he looked down at Felicity who was fast asleep clinging to her dinosaur friend
Vlad smiled the next few days were a blissful blur till the day of his coronation arrived. Standing in a fine tux Vlad breathed in then out, it wasnât easy becoming the King of Hell but it was his job now and someone had to do it. Striding to the throne room he stopped and looked at Hades. âWhat do you think?â
-
Kit nodded, âsee,â he cuddled into his belovedâs arms. âMuch better. We can do this.â
Hades smiled as he looked at him
"Julius really made you look the part for a long" Hades said to him smiling "do you want to tell me why the flowers? They're everywhere in the throne room" Hades said he didn't mind them but he was sick if chasing demons away who insisted that they must be poisonous or meant to be on fire, seriously they were just fricken flowers! Crowley was guarding them now thankfully
--
Honey was letting Julius make some last minute alterations to her gown and frowned a little
"you know I can't wear this" honey told him looking at his reflection in the mirror "this isn't a ball it's a coronation everyone is going to be staring at me."
"then they'll love the dress you designed that I made" Julius told her through a mouthful of thread that he held in his mouth as he finished one last bit and stood back
"besides it's to late for you to wear another one"
"don't act like I don't know you've got a closet full of formal dress rejects from the prissy bitches that live here, one of them has to fit" honey said stepping off the stool Julius stopped her
"you're fine Honey. You're beautiful and everyone will focus on Vlad"
"not in this"
âBecause I donât know about you, but the Throne room is dreary, I know it is hell but my goodness could it use some elegance. Besides how best to show that there are changes coming? I also like the new added effect of unwary demons keeping them on their toes. Itâs a new era Hades and they will either keep up or be left to rot. That isnât to say I wonât take care of my people, just want to keep the more volatile ones where they belong.â He still wanted Honeyâs part in the coronation a surprise if only for her safety to be ensured. âI rather like this suit it is colorful, will gleam in the hellfire and looks like fresh blood.â He eyed himself in the mirror, this was perhaps the most he had put into his appearance in his whole life for just himself. The closest was perhaps at college graduation or prom before that.
Hades rolled his eyes a little
"fine but if crowley scares the roses to death it's not on me." Hades said to him "and don't forget to talk to Ashe about your crown she works on that stuff too.... honestly I've got no idea where the woman gets the time and energy to do all the crap she does" Hades said shaking his head he knew she was already dropping off some jewelry to Julius and honey
"have you seen the dress Julius made for honey? He took it from one of her journals but it came out lovely"
âNo but I cannot wait,â Vlad said he looked at Hades, âhave you ever been in love Hades?â He asked. âBecause I know I am.â It was clear that his heart was Honeyâs he was too happy and giddy when he thought of her. He looked like he could just float! âI bet she looks regal.â He said almost dreamy before making his way to go see Ashe. âAshe. Thank you again for everything really Hell doesnât appreciate you enough.â
Hades raised a brow at him and chuckled
âyou are aware that Kit and I are living together with a child right?â Hades asked him âAlso how did you miss us practically making out during the apocalypseâ Hades asked him shaking his head a little bitÂ
âMy brother has a demon husband and iâve got an angel boyfriend we evidently have very similar astes.â He saaid thoughtfullyÂ
Ashe looked up as she was finishing frosting the celebration cake so the icing looked like blood dripping down as she hummedÂ
âNo hell doesnât but thank youâ Ashe said before she motioned with her spatula to a small locked box on the table âCrown is in there for your final approvalâÂ
Vlad nodded at what Hades said then smiled to Ashe. âWell I certainly appreciate you.â He peeked in the box and smiled at the crown within. âAnd exemplary as expected, you are a treasure! Hell would not run half so well without you.â Vlad kissed her cheek. âThank you Ashe.â He looked. âI will go get into place seeing as everything is ready.â He was nervous but didnât wish to express it.
"and if you're wondering under the throne is the crown for honey" Ashe added without looking up from her work she did appreciate being appreciated and her bloody roses did seem to have a little more effort to look pretty
