Two dads got taken that day, one stopped breathing.
(saw that comment format on Tiktok so I thought itd fit them because of EAPS newest ep)
Can I just say that Andrew saying "I cant do this again" when they were talking about Jake being missing fucking broke me. Plus the "They... They have dad?.." and Henry's last moments... Wheres the joy and whimsy💔...
Fake EAPS ep and thumbnail based off what Eclipse said on EAPS newest ep on timestamp 10:56 (im having too much fun making these fake eps lmao)
"The GOODBYE of A FATHER!"
No lengthy writing/full story for this one, but there is a scene I wrote out based off the thumbnail under cut :D
(They may be out of character, so I do apologize! By all means, do correct me :3!!)
[...]Eclipse watches as Andrew's fingers drag one of his main hands forward, tugging him closer in a pleading manner, but Eclipse didnt budge. His eyes focus on how the black streaks under his children's eye began to flow like tears, becoming thicker the more their emotions grew stronger.
"Little ones..." Eclipse trails off to allow a painful grunt to escape him due to his left eyes striking into a purple color, forcing him to use his right pair while he hid the left ones, his claws extracting because of the affects.
He stammers, trying to form coherent words while his voicebox fought to only let out the snarls of a hungry wolf. The thought of losing control before he could say goodbye was painful to Eclipse, so with little strength he had left, he spoke in the softest voice hes ever used.
"Its gonna be okay." Eclipse musters a smile that was quickly shot down by another painful shock, making him curse and turn his head away, not wanting for them to see what monster the virus was allowing him to be.
Letting out a choked exhale, he takes a moment before his eyes return to them and...
And smiles.
A smile even he refused to believe he managed at this moment.
"I'm gonna be okay." Eclipse whispers, his shaky tone making none of his kids believe him. "I promise... I promise, little ones." He turns his head to them, more relieve than he thought he'd be. "Dont... Dont forget that I love you all so much... okay?"
Andrew shakes his head, trying to hold back his tears. "We wont." He looks over his shoulder, desperate to be backed up by his brothers.
Jake nods, sobbing the hardest out of all of them. "..hmn-hm... We love you, too, papa..." Hes barely able to speak as his cries get the best of him, but the last word he spoke was the clearest of all, making Eclipse's gaze soften.
Andy holds Jake tighter, choking on his words as his cries worsen. "More than anyone." he adds on, his voice reduced to nothing but a whisper.
Eclipse hadnt realized his influence—how his impact on these kids were greater than he'd ever expected.
"Yeah?" Eclipse laughs, lowering his hand that he so desperately tried to keep from hurting his kids. He pulls his hand away from Andrew, smiling as softly as he could although the affects becoming more evident. "I love you all."
Too late.
Andrew realized what Eclipse was gonna do, but he reacted so slow to it.
With one push Eclipse gave Andrew, followed suit were Jake and Andy as though they were dominos, falling into the portal that glew in a beautiful blue behind them.
Their eyes all set on Eclipse who continued to smile as he knelt in pure exhaustion, looking so relieved for them. Even when the portal was doomed to close after they stepped in, Eclipse never looked any happier.
A small hand reaches out to Eclipse, the time slowing down which allows him to see their expressions—how they cried and begged for him to join them, how Andrew held out his hand so Eclipse could grab on and stay with them.
But Eclipse didnt.
Eclipse didnt because this has always been the safer option since the start.
He wants to be with his kids, yes, but if he did grab on, everyone would be in danger again. Him departing from his kids and sending them off elsewhere is something hes more than willing to risk, even if he knows he wont ever see them again.
A wide, toothy smile spreads on Eclipse's face, not allowing the virus to waver his strong apperance; till the end, he will show himself as this person who can fix everything in his way, even if this problem was the only one he isnt able to. For not only himself but for his kids who need a better father figure in their life, something Eclipse knows he cannot provide unlike how Henry can.
Eclipse took care of Charlie for Henry, and now all he wishes is Henry return the favor. Just this once so they were even.[...]
