brain is braining well, so i present you the idea of Solaire non vampire life au
in which William is the single father of his six children (boy was a heartbreaker in his young life, women were swooning over him, only for him to end up with the not-so-happy bunch. That's okay. He can take care of them all, he hopes so at least)
○ Alexis is the eldest, understandably so, at the rebellious age of seventeen, where she believes she's entitled to everything the world and her father's wallet has to offer. She's not a spoilt kid, by all means, but she wants to act like it because it pisses William off, especially when she announces, while they all eat breakfast, that she has yet another fantastic idea. Getting a tattoo, borrowing his car for a road trip with her friends, moving out to another country because beaches in California are lame compared to those in Spain, maybe she's pregnant after her last one night stand (she only dates women but seeing the blood drain from his face is more than amusing), who knows what will spill from her mouth at the sacred morning hours? William is already going grey, and she's the biggest reason behind it.
○ Next is Vincent, only a year younger and second most reliable person in the household right after William. It's him who takes care of the younger ones when their dad has to stay late at work, making sure they eat, sleep and survive until he comes home (which sometimes proves to be too much). He mastered making grilled cheese after being asked by four people in the row to make them that, Alexis being graceful enough to at least help him, probably the only nice encounter they had in their whole lives. The golden child, not favoured because William doesn't favour any of his kids (sure sure), but at least with Vincent, the hassle was the smallest. Shares his room with Sam, but that's fine. He's just trying to keep the whole family sane with all the bickering. Porter often steals his lunch before they go to school, so at this point, he leaves it on purpose with the food he knows the brat hates.
○ Sam, a surprise no one expected. Fourteen, quiet, introverted, and sometimes they all forget he even exists in the house. The boy lives for the books William has in his library, always tucked with one, headphones blasting music to shut off the world and Alexis, who finally, after William lost his patience, left him alone. It only had to end up with Sam having his arm broken for her to understand that the constant jabs and fights were pointless and that William would not "give him up for adoption.". Truly, a lovely sibling relationship between those two. Another reliable person, but due to his younger age, he's mostly left alone to do his own thing, which mostly focuses on dissociating and reading. Nerd with glasses, really. At least he helps with the homework and has the patience of a saint when it comes to the rest of his siblings, always trying to get out of the way, never seeking any attention let alone fights. Landing on the spot of the middle child, he's never the one to ask for something, which makes William think he isn't doing a good enough job when it comes to him. Not to mention Sam has his mother's last name instead, always explaining that it doesn't mean much to him at all when in reality, it keeps William at night because he thinks he is not enough for him and for the rest.
○ If Sam was a surprise, then Porter was the armaggedon that wrecked their house at the seams. Eleven, mouthy, bratty, and yet, despite what Vincent keeps saying about him, everyone adores him at the end of the day, those big dark blue eyes with long eyelashes melting everyone. He was once seen making voodoo dolls of his teachers because "they give him too much homewor", he already curses whenever no one is hearing and his favourite snack is butter toast, plain just as his personality. He always has bruises on his knees because how often he tried to climb the trees in the backyard despite falling from them on more than one occasion. Stubborn, especially when he tries to make everyone believe he's not crying because of said bruises, despite his lower lip trembling like crazy and the tears running down his cheeks. That's okay, Will always has time to console his kids, even if they just called him an "old man who knows nothing about being cool.". He hears that from Porter on a daily occasion, even if he tucks him to sleep. But then, it sounds less like a taut, with voice slurry and arms reaching for his father through the haze of a goodnight kiss.
○ and last but not least, the apples of Will's eyes, the precious little ones who make it all worthy at the end of the day, Frederick and Bright, the five year old twins. At this point, the rest just shrugged their shoulders when the news of having yet another sibling was broken down to them, but deep down, they were all excited at the prospect of the little ones. They are the calmest of the bunch, but only if they are together, take one aside, and the cries can be heard in the neighbouring city. Attached at the hip since the very first moment alive, they act more like two little puppies, especially when they take a nap together on the fluffy carpet of the living room, sun shining through the windows, freckles all over their faces. Even Alexis has a change of heart when she looks after those two, reading them stories and trying to turn them against Will, playfully, of course (or is it?). If Porter's blue eyes make him escape most of the consequences, they are beyond innocent just because of how tiny and precious they are for the whole family. Riding their little bikes everywhere they go, they surely make a mess, especially with all the crumbs at breakfast, but when they need a hug, everyone drops everything and runs to them to console the little ones.
