“Of course I would.” She leaned forward, pressing a kiss against his lips. “So would you, Beau.” She ruffled his hair. “What would you know? You’re only 200. You’ve got so much to learn.”

“Someone’s confident.” Beau teased as he kissed her back. “Being older doesn’t make you wiser, it just makes you want to go to bed before the sun goes down.”

“I’m thinking maybe it’s time we talk.”

[identicalcharm]

"Great." There was a pause, barely long enough for his brother to get a word in. "Glad we had this talk."

“It’s not all bad. My step-dad’s one of the good guys… He’s saved the world more times than I can keep track. What about yours?  Were they heroes?”

"No." It was a quick answer, short and to the point. "But they don't determine the man I am, or the person I could become. That all lies on my shoulders."

Patrick wasn’t as restrained. His hands cup each side of Beau’s shoulders. “I’m glad you’re okay. I went and got myself caught by those losers and you guys paid for it.”

"We ended up where we did because my brother was an idiot." he replied, though his words with softer and he made himself look away sheepishly from the man. "I never should have let him go alone."

“My family… It isn’t exactly made up of heroes. Maybe I had the wrong kind of role models.”

"Just because your famiy isn't made of heroes doesn't mean that you can't be." he offered. "I believe in you."

Shan ran a hand through Beau’s hair. “Point taken. You know I may be an immortal shape shifting god slash goddess, but I still need my beauty sleep.”

"You'd look good in any form." Beau argued, smiling gently at the other. "I don't think beauty sleep is really necessary for people like us."

“Don’t give me that look, and don’t forget that last Friday I stayed up until midnight for you.”

"I didn't forget." he reassured, leaning over to press a kiss to Shan's cheek. "I also don't forget the last time I went to bed with you at four o'clock in the afternoon after getting up at noon."

“It’s not stupid, is it?  I can’t help but feel like there might be a good reason…”

"Doing the right thing is never stupid."

“Him too,” he agreed flatly, a intensity in his eyes as he kept them on Beau’s face. “Don’t be sorry. I didn’t have it as bad as you did. Not even close.”

"You died, Patrick. It's pretty bad." Beau sighed, though he to restrain himself from celebrating the fact that Patrick was fine in a less than appropriate fashion. "I'm just glad you're okay..."

“Apparently it’s frowned upon to go to bed at seven PM.”

"Wonder why..."

“I just wanna cuddle you before bed and hold your hand while we sleep.”

[identicalcharm]

"What's stopping you?"

“I don’t think it helped that we were dressed alike..” Bodhi joked. “I think most of our family could, whether they would admit it or not is another thing.”

"We shared the same wardrobe." Beau replied with a sigh, feeling himself pulling away from his brother after his last statement. "None of that matters now anyway."

“Yeah.. But the poor kid’s probably confused by seeing two of me.. She’s not even one yet, she can’t tell us apart.”

"Most people never could."  Beau replied, looking at the infant rather than his brother. "Until we started to talk at least."

“No, Cece, Dada’s right here,” Bodhi said, correcting his daughter as she reached for his brother. If not for the fact that Beau was still pissed at him, Bodhi would probably have found this hilarious, but seeing his daughter reach for Beau thinking it was him hurt the vampire a little bit.

[identicalcharm]

"... you know i wouldn't hurt her, right?"

“What’s the difference?"

"You care about doing the right thing. Some people don't."

“Okay. Okay, okay.. Maybe if we just, call it a night, wind down…”

"Yeah...maybe."

The kitsune had a whole two-hundred years to come to terms with his death. Beau had not. “Yeah,” he said after a moment. “I went looking for you."

"I'm sorry." Beau offered numbly, still processing Patrick's confession. "You wouldnt have had to look far... I was stuck in a tomb until recently." He confessed, pausing before quietly adding "Zander's out too. I'm sure you were worried about him."
