Sea of Stars: Interlude Part 2
A Fishy Distraction and A Forgotten Cycle
TW: Swearing and implied suggestiveness
(In Atlantis)
Being taken to the sunken kingdom of Atlantis was like a dream come true for Krystallos...Especially when a certain titan loves the sea more than the land itself (Guess how many times Krystallos goes diving and goes to the beach...I don't blame him though :3). Seeing the many vibrant colors of coral, fish, and just the beauty of the underwater world, the ice king was in paradise. Even though he is about to get his heat taken care of...Or will he? "He's taking me to the bedroom." The Ice King began to turn an even brighter shade of blue as Starseidon's steps were driven with purpose. Maybe even began to internally panic as his thoughts began running incredibly fast, and his palms began to sweat, signalling how nervous the titan was about all this. Being taken care of and helped through his heat cycle is something that had never once happened in the eons that Krystallos lived with that curse of a cycle. "This is it." Or that is what he thought when the door opened and a voice came out...Anticipation and panic were gone, replaced by a confused eyebrow raise. "You left me alone, Star...I thought you forgot about me~" The voice purred out of the bedroom with a velvety tone that hid an underlying pout. "Seems like you brought someone with you."
"Fishy?" Starseidon asked, confusion etched across his face, seeing one of his other lovers in the bedroom. The confusion turned into a deeper shade of red, which Krystallos couldn't see from being carried like a sack of potatoes by Starseidon and heard the movement from the bed.
"Do they know I can hear what they are saying?" Muttered the thoughts of the titan in Starseidon's arms, silently cursing his exceptional hearing, even though Starseidon and Fishyseidon are trying to be as discreet as possible. "Another thing to tell Starseidon about..My list keeps growing and growing - Hey!" All thoughts were shattered the moment he felt his body going down, but thanks to the amount of training (and trauma) under his adopted father's guidance, the ice king used his hands to catch himself and then do a front handspring, landing on his feet and standing upright with such grace and fluidity of a predatory cat, along with no sound. "So they are making out in front of me...Love birds." Krystallos commented inwardly, seeing the spectacle before him. His ears then twitched when hearing a certain infantile whimper, Krystallos lost all interest in what was happening behind in and silently walked out the door with careful foot steps. Following the sound of a familiar baby's cry.
(Three Sea bunnies later)
"New baby sister?"
"Evren, shut that baby up before I throw it out to sea!!"
"Maybe she's hungry, Luna." "Whose side are you on, Eldoris?"
"Good point, little bro....Maybe she is also missing her mommy?"
"I'm outta here."
Hearing voices along with the wails of the infant, the titan moved silently through the hallways of the underwater palace...Taking in the sights of the beauty and magnificence of the palace. When he reached the door at the end of a simple yet elegant hallway covered in peals and sea shells, a loud voice rang out, "KRYASTALLOS!!!!!!"
"Starseidon's pissed," Krystallos sighed, rubbing his temples. "Don't get mad at me when you were distracted kissing Fisyseidon. Allowing me the chance to escape in the first place was your doing," The thoughts spoke inside the mind while the ice king chuckled softly, not with malice or jealousy within...Just pure amusement.
"Was that Dad...And whose Krystallos?"
"Seems so...Wait..Krystallos is here?!"
The Ice King chuckled softly when the door opened and revealed a familiar young sea god. "It's been a while..Hello Erven," the titan said, giving the Sea Child a gentle and warm smile that reached his ears.
"Krystallos!!" Evren said, hugging the titan's leg. Earning gentle head pats from the titan babysitter. "Why is Dad mad at you?" The young sea god asked with a curious glint in his eyes.
A nervous chuckle escaped the Ice King's lips when asked the question. "How about we talk inside the room, alright, Evren?" The suggestion did hold true, but the eyebrow twitch, on the other hand, signified another emotion within Krystallos. "Like hell I'm explaining why you are pissed at me to your children, Star...You're on thin ice for that one." Thoughts sharpened like a blade within the mind of the titan, but for now, the duo headed inside the room to have a conversation.
(Four Sea Bunnies Later.)
"Where the f*ck did that titan in heat go?!" Starseidon hissed while walking with purpose. Seems that the Sea God was looking everywhere in Atlantis for the Ice King after finding out he escaped for the second time in a row (His fault for being distracted by a certain fish :3). "Gentle my ass...When I catch him, that titan will not be able to walk straight for- Why do I hear singing?" Confusion shot through the anger and annoyance that Starseidon was feeling when beautiful yet haunting vocals reached his ears. Following the vocals, he stopped by his children's room. With an eyebrow raised, Starseidon slowly opened the door. What he saw inside made his face flush a deeper red..."The singing was...Krystallos???? He's holding a baby in his arms like it's the most natural thing in the world. With my kids sleeping in their beds...Wait, a minute, is that his daughter?" The mind of the sea god was a gigantic mess of confusion and surprise, which then bloomed into warm affection and hidden lust (Curse the Ice King scent and his paternal affection towards his own child and Star's -_-).
When the Ice King finally turned his head to the sound of the door opening, a confused head tilt was the only thing that Krystallos gave after he may have accidentally given Starseidon the warmest smile. "Star, why are you redder than a beet root?" he asked in his soft voice to not wake up the children or his sleeping baby. "Are those hearts in your eyes?"
To be continued~
(Welp, all I have to say is...RIP Krystallos...I also thought of a new ship name for the duo after playing with a few names that I have been thinking about....Say hello to KrystalStar, hope you all like the ship name....And also Krystallos was actually singing a lullaby...More like the vocals of a lullaby to calm his crying daughter...Which may have sent also Starseidon's kids to sleep XD...Why do I edit when I already post something T^T)
After escaping Starseidon with the unintended help of Fishyseidon (More like Star being distracted with the kissy Fishy). The Ice King meets a familiar Sea Child and is reunited with his 6-month-old daughter, Frostine (More on her later.). However, looks like the said sea god has found the titan in his most paternal and loving self, singing vocals to a lullaby...Someone chose to be a Dad and forgot about his condition XD
