Some Darkling family fluff(or angst) mayhaps? :3c

Aurora tears up laying on the bed. She doesn't want to look at her arm with the IV placed in. The monitor picks up slightly, the beeping sound going up and down at a pace. A sharp pain hits her side and she whimpers. All of this was scaring her. Not even the gentle hand of Darling was soothing.

"It's going to be ok. You will be asleep and it will be like nothing happened." Darling strokes their daughters hair calmly.

"... I don't wanna get cut... I- i-..." Aurora hiccups.

"Awww I know baby but the doctor has to take your appendix out. That's why you are sick. It's not good if it stays there." Darling tries explaining it as carefully as possible.

"I can take medicine." Aurora negotiates. "I just need medicine and I will feel better." She winces again, a tear comes down.

"I'm ready to take her in." Dr. Iplier stands beside Darling.

"No I don't wanna go! No!" Aurora sits up then falls back in pain. Tears stream down her puffy pink cheeks.

Dark has been packing this whole time. He can't stand seeing his little light in pain. He was always the stronger one but this made him a mess. He was scared. Darling constantly assured him it will be ok, they had this done before. Even so he just could not think straight. His mind raced with fear and all the bad possible outcomes.

"Dark." Darling took his hand. "She needs you."

Dark takes a breath and goes to the bed. "Aurora it's going to be ok." His got caught a little.

"Father... No..." Aurora's breathing was ragged. "I'm scared."

Dark leaned in and pressed his head to hers. "I'm scared too but you think you can be a big girl for dad."

Father scared? He never gets scared. He never asks anyone to help him. Aurora sees the concern and worry in his eyes. She nods at him and sniffles. "I will try."

As Aurora is being taken away Dark holds her hand til she passes the doors to get her surgery. Dr. Iplier pats his back and nods. He hasn't seen him like this before. When he got the call from him Dark was frantic. He even almost got to the point of begging Doc for anything. Dark was craddling Aurora looking around for answers as she was crying in pain and covered in sweat when Dr. Iplier saw him.

"She will be fine Dark. I promise." Dr. Iplier puts on his mask and walks in the operation room.

Time passes and Dark continuously taps his foot. Darling keeps running his back as he sits forward. Each tick of the clock brings him closer and closer to running to the room to see if Aurora was alright.

"She is going to be fine. I had this too as a kid. It was all better after I had surgery." Darling reassures him. "She will just need some rest."

"I can't do this again..." Dark breathes hard.

"What do you mean?" Darling asks.

"Just seeing her in that bed. The monitor and the needles. Its just like when I almost lost you." He has a a single tear fall. "I can't lose her like how..."

"Hey look at me." Darling lifts his face to look at them. "We are not going anywhere. You can't get rid of me that easily. You got me back again remember? She is a little fighter too."

Dr. Iplier walks out to the waiting room. Dark and Darling stand up fast. The doctor smiles at them. "It went really well. She is just resting right now. You can come into the room to see her."

Aurora sleeps in bed with the monitor beeping softly. Dark keeps brushing her hair and smiles at her. He holds her hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. Slowly her eyes flutter open and she gives her father a tired smile.

"I'm ok father. I was brave like you." She gives her father a little squeeze with her hand.

"Yes you were." Dark kisses her head. "My brave little light." He looks back at Dr.Iplier. "Thank you."

Doc took a second to process that. He never imagined that Dark would ever say those words. Parenthood really changed him. "Of course Dark."

"Can we go to Disneyland when I get better?" Aurora asks.

"Yes baby we will." Darling gives her multiple kisses. "We will go on all the rides. It's our favorite place to go after all. Right Darkie?"

Dark wraps an arm around Darling and brushes Aurora's cheek. "Yes it is."

[fatesinthenight]

Ideal: Aurora bringing over Leo to her house to work on a project together and Dark is trying not to freak out but Darling thinks it's a good step in the right direction because; she misses Starlight a bit.

Aurora holds Leo hand as he freezes at the front door. She gives it a little reassuring squeeze. “It’s ok.”

“He hates me.” Leo shakes.

“Father can be scary but he means well. He just doesn’t know you yet.” Aurora smiles.

“Does he know we have the same class?” Leo asks.

“Now he will.” Aurora opens the door.

She keeps holding Leo’s hand, it comforts him. They walk into the main room when it gets completely drenched in darkness. Aurora stands her ground and Leo’s heart pounds. Dark is flashing erratically as he glares at Leo.

“GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!!” Dark growls.

“Father no! Leo is my friend. We had a class project to do.” Aurora stand in front of Leo.

“A CLASS!” Dark breaths hard. “I thought I made sure you never end up with him.”

“Father you can’t keep controlling me like this. Leo has done nothing wrong.” Aurora pleads to her father.

“I DON’T CARE!” Dark’s voice booms.

“Dark enough.” Darling’s voice comes from outside the void.

The darkness retreats back into Dark. The main room reappears and Darling is there with their arm’s crossed. They stand beside Aurora.

“You know what he did to-” Dark is still shaking in rage.

“Leo is not Actor, Dark.” Darling is firm. “Don’t push your anger onto someone who was not there. He did not do anything wrong. He is just a child Dark. A twelve year old child.”

“I don’t care how young he is!” Dark spits out. “He does not belong here. I don’t want him here. I don’t want him near my daughter.”

“Mr. Darkiplier.” Leo speaks up nervously. “I know you hate me. A lot of people hate me. I know my dad was not a nice person. He said it himself. I’m not my dad. I just- I’m me. If you don’t want me here that is ok. I will got home.” Leo heads to the door.

“Leo no.” Darling stops him. “Aurora you and Leo can work at the dinning room. Do your parents know you are here?”

Leo nods. “My (mom/dad) is outside I the car. They didn’t think I would stay.”

Darling takes a deep breath. “You kids go on. It’s ok.”

Aurora tugs Leo away. Diva comes around and Leo backs away from her. The pup eyes him suspicious but nudges him with her nose softly. He still feels uneasy but leaves with Aurora. Dark wants to say something but Darling stops him.

“If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it.” They eye him.

Dark still flashes. Without a word he leaves to his office. Darling sighs, he was not going to ease up easily. They step outside and walk to the car parked in from of their house. Darling’s steps are heavy as they slept walk up to the car. The window rolls down and they look inside the car.

“Is my son still alive?” Starlight asks.

“He is. He will be staying over for a little. The kids need an A right?” Darling tries to be light.

“Yea…” Starlight has a slight smile.

There is an awkward silence. It’s been years since they last spoke. Darling and Star learned about Starlight dating Actor and lost touch. A few years later Dark comes back saying he saw them and they had Actor’s child. Now here they are taking again. Star never said anything about leaning they have a nephew, they didn’t know what to say.

“Leo… He seems like a sweet kid.” Darling starts.

“He is my little angel.” Starlight smiles fondly. “A little angel that came from two not so great people as someone would think.”

“Starlight I-” Darling speaks up.

“No. I know I was not that good too. I had my own problems. You know we are not married really? He didn’t want to get married again after well you know. I’m fine with it. We have had our issues of course. Fights. Then I found out about Leo…” They sniffle. “He is our little hope.”

Darling can see the pain in Starlight’s eyes. “You want to come in?”

Starlight looks surprised. “What?”

“Do you want to come in?” Darling repeats. “I have Heathers on Netflix. Your favorite. We could watch it as the kids work.”

“I don’t think your husband would want me there.” Starlight said.

“I know but I want you there.” Darling smiles.

Starlight thinks about it. They think about what Actor told them. “If you have a chance to make up with someone do it. Don’t fall into hate toward them. Make things right.” They take a deep breath and step out of the car. Slowly they step up to Darling.

“You have any ice cream too?” Starlight asks.

“Vanilla or chocolate?” Darling leads them to the house.

[fatesinthenight]

I wanna see something where Asher, Bliss, and Aurora kick the shit out of Actor Mark.

The kids glare at Actor from a distance. He stands outside a shop looking through his phone. He doesn’t sense the little eyes that are giving him death glares.

“That’s him.” Bliss looks back at Aurora and Asher. “That’s the guy that hurt our dads and (mom/dad).”

“Meanie…” Asher kicks a rock.

“I can feel something scary about him.” Aurora hides behind Asher.

“I will protect you Aurora don’t worry.” Asher stands tall, tall for a seven year old child.

“I wanna kick him.” Bliss makes a little fist. She gets ready to run.

Actor scrolls through his Twitter and rolls his eyes at the tweets he sees. He hears rushing footsteps toward him and looks up. He sees a flash of bright pink rush at him and step on his foot. He backs away and the little pink flash kicks his leg.

“Can I help you?” Actor isn’t phased.

“You are a big meanie!! A jerk butt! A stupid sour gummy!!” Bliss points up at Actor.

“Bliss! Don’t start without me!” Asher walks over holding a nervous Aurora’s hand.

“Fight me!” Bliss keeps punching Actor at his stomach.

Actor sighs. “You two have to be Will’s kids. The pink is a dead give away.” He looks at Aurora who hides from him. “You are Dark’s. I can feel the aura coming off of you.”

Aurora flashes scared. “You- you are the bad Mark. You did a lot of mean things.”

Actor picks up a kicking Bliss and plops her away from him. She tries to run at him again but Asher holds her hand. He eyes these children and kneels down. “Did your father’s tell you about me?”

“I found a picture of you with my dad. And he said you were a bad man. That you were really mean to to them and hurt them.” Asher takes a step forward.

“I see.” Actor chuckles. “They are not wrong. "I have bothered them since. Except that one time…” He looks at Aurora. “But that was before-”

“Daddy daddy look (mom/dad) got me a puppy!” A boy runs out the toy store holding a plush puppy. He notices the other kids and hides behind Actor. “Daddy… Who are they.”

“Bliss! Asher! Don’t you ever run-” Wilford stops in his tracks. “You…”

“Aurora get behind me.” Dark pushes Aurora behind him.

“Now now gentlemen do you really want violence in front of the children?” Actor tilts his head.

The little boy peeks at Dark and Wilford. “Daddy who are they?”

Dark and Wilford’s eyes go wide. Never in their life did they expect Actor of all people to have a child. Let alone who in the right mind would end up with him. If Dark could do it and Anti apparently so can Actor.

“Leo I used to know these nice men. But that’s not important anymore.” Actor puts a hand on his son’s head.

“Actor? Is something going on?” Someone steps out of the store and looks around.

“Just bumped into some old friends.” Actor pulls them close under his arm. “Let’s go now. It was nice to see you again.”

“Actor but isn’t that…” Starlight looks concerned.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. That’s the past.” Actor holds Starlight closer. “This is now.” He picks up Leo and walks away with his family.

Leo looks over his dad’s shoulder at Aurora. He can feel the same thing he has with her too. “She is just like me…”

Wilford and Dark still stand there baffled. They look back at their children and take them away. They scold them for leaving their sides.

“Don’t you ever go near that man again. Do you understand.” Wilford gets serious.

“Yes daddy.” The twins say.

“Stay anyway from him.” Dark holds Aurora up.

“The little boy. He has the same thing like me…” She looks up at her dad.

“Don’t go near him or that boy.” Dark is stern.

Aurora looks back at where the other family left. “Ok…”

[fatesinthenight]

Do you think anyone the Warfstache clan would be somewhat anal towards Leo or forgiving/open to the kid?

Asher finds Leo again. It’s been a year since he first saw him. His father told him never to go near him. Star said to be careful around him. Asher learned overhearing his parents that Leo is his cousin. He runs over to Leo who is sitting alone at a park table coloring a book.

“Hi there.” Asher sits on the bench opposite of Leo.

Leo looks up and huddles into himself. “Ummm hi…”

“I saw you before. At a toy store. You had a toy puppy.” Asher smiles.

“It’s at home.” Leo looks at his coloring book.

“Did you know we are cousins?” Asher leans over the table.

“… What is that?” Leo tilts his head and looks up.

“It means we are family.” Asher is ever the welcoming one.

“But my family is my daddy and (mom/dad).” Leo is confused.

“I’m also your family.” Asher nods.

“Really?” Leo perks up slightly.

“Yep!” Asher grins. “You have another cousin too. My sister. And a uncle and a (auntie/ uncle). They are my parents.”

Leo starts to smile. “That sounds nice.” He picks up a pink crayon. “Do you wanna color too?”

“Yes!” Asher sits beside Leo and takes the crayon.

“Asher there you are! I was looking for you-” Bliss stops. “Ummm Asher daddy told us not to talk to him…”

“But he is our cousin. He’s family.” Asher saids.

“Asher! Bliss! Here now!” Wilford yells out. He walks over to his kids.

“But daddy Leo is-” Asher starts.

“Car now.” Wilford puts his foot down.

Asher puts the crayon down and slips off the bench. He walks up to his dad. “Leo is nice. You are being mean.” He runs off to the car.

Bliss looks back at Leo. He looks so sad and lonely. Bliss tugs Wilford’s hand. “Daddy he doesn’t look bad.”

“Car.” Wilford repeats.

Bliss sighs and walks off to the car. Wilford walks away and feels a familiar presence. He looks back to see Actor with Leo. Leo sniffles and puts his crayons away and closes his book. Actor looks up at Wilford.

“What an asshole uncle you turned out to be.” Actor glares. “I didn’t think you would be low enough to be a dick to a kid.”

Star walks up beside Wilford. They look at Leo who watches them. He hides behind Actor and holds his hand. Star doesn’t know what to feel about their nephew, they didn’t even know he was born at all.

“And you.” Actor looks at Star. “I thought at least you would try. You didn’t even tell your kids they had a cousin. At least try to talk to Starlight. They wanted their big sibling there to talk to but you pushed them away. Don’t look so pissed off you never knew. You were the one that cut it off. That’s all on you.”

Leo looks at Wilford and Star. “Are you.. My uncle and (aunt/uncle). Are we family?”

Star can’t form words. Leo’s eyes look into both Star and Wilford. Just a little hope that he does have a big family. Wilford sighs.

“I don’t know.” Wilford saids.

Leo has tears forming. They start to go done his face as he sniffles. “Everyone hates me…” He runs off.

Actor goes after Leo. Wilford feels sick. He saw the hurt and emptiness in that child’s eyes. His heart is heavy. “I am a asshole…”

Leo hides in a shadow under a tree. His powers had come out last month and he was fast to control them. He huddles alone and cried to himself. He is confused. People were telling him his dad was a monster. That his (mom/dad) left their family for him. Adults didn’t want Leo around other kids that were like him. He felt so alone, he had no friends. Aurora said they were friends but she had to hide him.

“Are you ok?” A voice asks.

Leo looks up surprised. “What?”

“Are you ok? You look really sad.” A boy asks.

“How can you see me?” Leo is still in a shadow.

“My friend Aurora can do that to. I can see her still.” The boy responds.

“You know her!” Leo leaves the shadow.

“We are friends.” The boy has a shy smile. “You were crying. Did something bad happen?”

Leo wipes his face. “No one likes me.”

“I like you.” The boy saids.

“But you don’t know me…” Leo saids.

“You are good. I can tell.” The boy smiles.

Leo feels a warmth in his heart. “Really?”

“Yes.” The boy has a sweet smile. “I got to go. My daddy will be worried. If you come back here we can play together.”

Leo nods. “Ok. My name is Leo.”

“I’m Spark.” The boy shines.

Spark runs off and waves happily to Leo. Actor finds Leo and holds him saying he scared him to death. He holds Leo in his arms and Leo looks over his dad’s shoulder.

“His eyes were different colors.” Leo smiles. “Pretty blue and green.”

[fatesinthenight]

what if darling had another baby? ( Girl or boy) And leo was just a toddler. When they grow up aroura and leo were in the backyard talking while they barge outside asking them to get a cookie off the top self and they see leo? ( I dunno im sorry xD)

*I think Aurora is a only child. One dark child is enough for them. And in a way their second child is Sugar, Aurora’s human best friend, and they treat her like that even if she is not.*

Aurora peeks over the counter. She is on her toes and can barely look over. The target was in sight: Cookie Jar. Aurora reaches out but her little arms don’t even come close to brushing the jar. She gets a chair and tries to move it as quietly as possible. Once in place she hops up on the chair. Diva walks in the kitchen and watches Aurora in her mission.

“What are up to beautiful?” Darling catches Aurora.

Aurora gets scared and turns to her (mom/dad). “I- I wanted a cookie.”

“You had some cookies already.” Darling walks in the kitchen more.

“I want two more.” Aurora pouts.

“You will spoil your dinner cutie pie.” Darling boops Aurora’s nose.

Aurora makes big eyes at them. “Please…”

Darling is hit with too much of a dose of cuteness. “Don’t tell daddy.” They hand two cookies to Aurora.

She takes them and heads outside. Aurora runs into her little play house and closes the door. She holds the two cookies out to her guest.

“Here you go. They are really yummy.” Aurora smiles.

Leo takes a bite out of one. “It’s really good.” He eats up the cookie and starts eating the second one. “Will your daddy and (mommy/ daddy) be mad I’m here…”

“You are my friend. I won’t let them get you.” Aurora promises.

[fatesinthenight]

What about Anti finding out that Spark has been hanging out with Leo? Like what the other ask said, for a project or just wanting to hang out? What about their relationship, how would he react? (Thank you for noticing me-I mean, for answering my questions! <3)

Spark comes home from LA and plops into bed. He looks at the clock by his bed as it flashes 1:00 AM. His eyelids feel heavy as he kicks off his shoes. He doesn’t bother changing into pajamas. Before he settles in bed the light in his room flicks on.

“You have fun?” Anti appears with his arms crossed.

“Dad… I-” Spark tries to apologize.

“Chase warned me about that rebellious stage.” Anti sighs. “Let me guess you were with Asher or Aurora. I know they are your friends and time zones are a bitch. At least be decent. Tell me where you are, don’t sneak off like you have been for the past two months.”

“You knew.” Spark is guilty.

“Pfff you think I wouldn’t?” Anti leans against the doorframe.

Spark shrugs. “I hoped. You didn’t say anything before.”

“That’s because I was waiting to see how long you were going to keep it up. This is your limit kid.” Anti is stern.

“Dad I’m sorry. It’s just… I’m not doing so well actually.” Spark admits.

“What do you mean? Something bothering you?” Anti sits at Spark’s bed.

“A few things. You know teen stuff.” Spark doesn’t know how to put it.

“You are asking the wrong guy. I was never a teenager.” Anti reminds him.

“Right. It’s just I’m trying to figure some things out. I have not been feeling 100% lately. I mean sometimes I’m not happy and other times I feel alright. Some moments make me smile and out of the blue I just don’t feel good.” Spark picks at his jacket’s zipper.

“Spark… Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Anti gets concerned.

“I didn’t want to worry you or (mom/dad). I know you already worry about me for other reasons. I don’t want another one.” Spark looks at his dad. “I’m sorry.”

“Spark you always tell us about how you feel.” Anti brushes the hair from Spark’s eyes. “You also don’t have to hide who you were really spending your time with.”

Spark’s eyes get wide. “You-”

“You should bring him over sometime. Have a real hang out or date. You know whatever.” Anti gets up from the bed and heads out.

“Dad I-” Spark feels the nerves in his stomach. “We know this looks bad.”

“So what?” Anti shrugs. “I’m not Dark. I have no beef with Actor. He took my Sweetspark sure. Do I want to rip his head off, in a heartbeat. My issues are with Actor. Not Leo. He is welcomed here.”

“Even after…” Spark is hesitant.

“I know that it is like to not be able to control my actions. I know what it’s like to feel possessed by something evil. It’s not his fault.” Anti leaves it at that. “Bring him over. Your (mom/dad) would like to meet the guy who has been making you smile more often lately.”

Anti leaves Spark alone. Spark feels lighter after talking to his dad. He has been confining in Leo for help but he needed to talk to his parents too. His phone buzzes as he gets a phone call.

“Spark are you ok?” Leo asks.

“Actually I am.” Spark smiles. “So my dad knows.”

Leo chuckles. “Mine too.”

“We must be bad at secrets.” Spark laughs. “Hey do you want to come over on Saturday? My (mom/dad) is getting us pizza.”

Leo smiles. “I… I would like that.”

[fatesinthenight]

O.O I had a thought... Spark going out with leo to a party to try and experiment with different scenes. Someone drugs his grape juice (cause no way in hell is our bean getting beer) and Leo can tell he is drugged so he takes him home and explains the situation to anti and poor Spark is so drugged up his moods switch rapidly and then he gets clingy to Anti and is like" no....I don't wanna lay down! I wanna snuggle with daddy!" It takes leo having him drink herbal tea to get him to finally sleep

*My child Spark doesn’t do parties. Never has. Leo also hates them. They never go out to do any of that kind of stuff. But that doesn’t mean that Spark could still not get his drink spiked as a prank.*

Leo comes from a maroon shadow with Spark beside him. Spark is being held up and his laugh is low. Anti walks in the living room finding the boys.

“Daddy! Hi daddy.” Spark has a drunk grin on.

“What in the-” Anti is glitching already.

“Sir he didn’t do anything. Some stupid classmate spiked his drink when he wasn’t looking.” Leo holds up Spark who pushes all his weight on him.

“Dad why are there three of you.” Spark tilts his head.

“Yea he needs to lay down.” Anti takes Spark to his room.

Anti lays Spark down in his room. Leo hangs behind watching concerned. Spark closes his eyes groans. His head feels heavy and his body is loose. Anti turns back to see Leo staring at Spark.

“Leo you think you can get some water. He needs it.” Anti asks.

“I’m fine.” Spark moans.

“On the way.” Leo leaves off to the kitchen. When he comes back with a glass of water he sets it down on the dresser.

“Daddy does the room always spin.” Spark feels sick.

“Ok buddy you just need to sleep and drink a lot of water.” Anti helps Spark sit up and hands him the cup of water.

Spark sips it. “I do wanna sleep.”

Anti waits till Spark finishes his water. “Ok. Leo it’s cool now. I got it.”

“No… Leo stay.” Spark whines.

Leo steps up to Spark’s bed. “You need to rest. I will check up on you later.”

“Nooooo.” Spark pouts. “Don’t go.”

Anti slowly steps out the room giving them privacy. Leo sits at Spark’s bedside and softly pats Spark’s head. “I will stay til you fall asleep. How about that?”

Spark smiles as his eyes close. “Ok.” He falls asleep instantly but Leo stays a little longer.

[fatesinthenight]

*Me looking @ Leo, Aurora and, Spark weird love triangle* You better explain there relationship, Fates,,,,

Ok take notes my dear.

Spark has always loved Aurora. It was always the main thing. We also know that Asher also liked Aurora too. Leo loves her too but more as a friend, she was his only friend in the beginning. Now there was a period where Spark thought he would never be with Aurora. She also thought of him still as a friend, not knowing she does really like him.

At one point Spark is hurt. He feels lonely as Aurora gets asked on a date and she accepts. He does get heartbroken. He confides in Leo. Leo and Spark met when they were 13. When they were 15 Spark gave up on Aurora. He gets distant to Asher too. He hangs out with Leo more. They get closer and well they try dating.

Both are feeling lonely. Both feel like they have no one. So they move to each other. It was a secret relationship. One eventually Aurora found out about. She felt hurt, the she realized she liked Spark.

Leo breaks up with Spark because deep down he knew Spark still loves Aurora. Deep down Leo did wish Spark would forget about it but he knew better. He broke up with Spark, he told him he knew Spark will always want Aurora. He let him go.

Spark and Leo still remain friends. Aurora and Leo are still friends as well. Leo still has a little soft spot for Spark. He is happy for them being together.
