More. More. More.

Kia’s finger’s dug into Jasper’s shoulder blades as he sunk down on the other’s cock. He took Jasper like a fish took to water. Like he’d die without it. His neck craned forwards as a low wince left the back of his throat. One that quickly became a moan as he brushed past his prostate. A wicked smile cracked Malakiah’s lips as he glanced past Jasper and the people sitting behind them. So jealous. They had to be so jealous of what Kia had. His fingers twisted into Jasper’s thick, red, hair as they began to move together. 

His breath came in hard pants as he pulled himself closer to Jasper. His one hand sliding down to rest on the place where he’d marked what was his so long ago. He could feel the scar under Jasper’s shirt and spread his fingers out to match it. 

Dipping his face into Jasper’s neck, Kia kissed his skin and bite down hard. He sucked a mark there and left a print of his teeth among the bruises. Moving to a new spot under his jawline, Kia felt a sudden rush of euphoria come over him. “So fucking good.” He moaned into Jaspers ear. “So fucking good.” Kia barely got the words out as he sat back, arched his back and just bounced. There must have been more then a few eyes on them now. Wish you where me all you want but you’ll never have him. Not like I do. His cock, his body felt like it was on fire. “Jasper- Tiger! Fuck, I’m gonna-” He warned as he fell forwards once again, his forehead on Jasper’s shoulder as he came across the others hand and chest.

“Technicalities.” Jasper muttered as he waved it off. He pulled his phone out and threw it towards the couch. He knew Amos might try to contact him again, or try to find out where he was, and Jasper couldn’t be asked to care. “Because I want to fuck with her parents.” Jasper said with a smile, only to frown when the girl hit him again. “Ow!” He grabbed the kid by the arm and pushed her away from him. 

“Stop touching me!” The screams grew louder and it caused Jasper to clench his jaw. 

“Her name is…” Jasper frowned and tilted his head to the side. “J… it starts with a J. I think.” He pressed his lips together into a thin line. 

“Jasmine.” The child said as she shot a glare at Jasper.

Jasper stuck his tongue out at her.

Patience, Sper. 

Jasmine moved towards Kia and began running her hands along the black feathers. It was then that she began to smile. “Soft.” She whispered as she placed both hands on the wing. 

Laughing, Kia hummed lightly. “Are they technicalities though?” He asked with a grin. This, this right here was why he was so stupidly in love with Jasper. The guy always left Malakiah guessing. What was he going to do next? He doubted even Jasper knew. Bring a kid home. Stab a bitch. Blow something up just for the fun of it. Everything was on the table. Just how Kia liked it. 

Watching the little girl and Jasper interact, Kia shook his head slowly. “Hey, Jasmine, you gotta stop hitting my Jasper. Mkay? Hit him again and you can walk home to your parents.” He told her in a light coo as she stroked one of his wings. His blue eyes flicked up to meet Jaspers. “She’s got some spirt. Don’t know anyone else like that.” He teased. 

At here comment, Kia let his wing fall out a bit more. “Ah! See. You two already have something in common.” He pointed to Jasper and Jasmine. “A good taste in feathers. You should ask Jasper to show you his collection of my feathers. Some of them are super long.”

“seriously, what the fuck are you looking at?” kaiden growled, brow raised as he started forward towards the other. he didn’t do well with people staring at him, even more so now that he had absolutely no fucking clue where lan was, or how he was, and he hadn’t seen fenn’s pouty gob in god knows how long either. “no no, don’t fucking walk away. get back here and tell me what the fuck you think you’re looking at and why you think you can just stare at me like that. what? you know something i don’t? you been sent here to watch me?” 

If Malakiah hadn’t been so off his ass high, he might have just burnt this kid to a crisp for fun. As it was, the thought alone was enough to bring a giggle to his lips. His wings puffed up some as he stumbled back. Not that he was walking away but just because someone bumped into him. Nothing about the little human was intimidating. He was like... like a... a little rat. A little rat screaming at a crow for getting to close to him. Crows ate a lot bigger creatures than rats. He smiled brighter. “Hush, its okay. Shh.” he waved his hands in front of the other mans face. “Shh, I’m not going to eat you.” Kia promised. Jesus christ he should not haven had all those editable before leaving. “You just have a little something on your face.” He pointed to his own cheek. “Right here.”

“Kidnap? Of course not!” Jasper lowered the girl to the ground and when he did, she kicked him right in the shin. He let out a hiss and glared at the young girl. “She was already kidnapped. I just… took her. Disposed of those who originally took her.” He explained. “She’s my boss’ daughter.” 

The young girl then began punching Jasper and screamed. “I wanna go to my mom!” 

“I’m not calling your bitch of a mom.” Jasper spat at the child as he grabbed her by the shoulders and roughly turned her to face Malakiah. “I played a little… game, with her father. Amos. He lost. So we get to keep her for a bit.” 

Narrowing his eyes at Jasper, Kia wasn’t sure what to make of all this. He didn’t think Jasper would lie to him unless this was some sort of joke or prank. That was totally possible. Though bringing an actual, living, breathing, child into their home was a long way to go for a prank. Even for Jasper. “Pretty sure if you steal something that was stolen, you’re still stealing.” Kia pointed out. “Not that I am against stolen goods, just really trying to figure out why this one is in our house.”

Wincing as the girl turned on Jasper, Malakiah’s wings fluffed with amusement. He could only imagine the sort o hell fire that Jasper caused at this age. “Got a pretty good left hook their, kld.” Kia pointed out as he looked at the girl. “M’Kia, wanna touch the wings?” He asked letting one of the fall forward and extend towards her. If anything he wanted to calm her down just so she’d stop wailing. The only screams he liked to hear echoing through their halls were not for a childs ears. 

“What’s your name?”

Whatever would happen was mostly out of Juliet’s control. As far as the woman was concerned, as long as her allies and those dearest to her suffered no harm, the world could burn. She might guide the hand of the court with a few carefully chosen words, but never anything enough to force a stand without the proper provocation. Let the humans start their silly war. Let the vampires and demons put them back in their place. It was the natural order of the world. It merely was a shame that the humans had to continuously learn that lesson rather than understand the wisdom of accepting the truth of their past. 

“How rude of me. Juliet Briggs. How do you do?” She took his hand, shaking it firmly as she’d been told to time and time again. At least the owner showed that he had some manners compared to the riff-raff in the bar. Then again, one could hardly claim control over the clientele when there was money to be made. She supposed that it was his business savvy that kept the place busy. “Pity that is all that they are good for.” She’d known too many a feeder, eager for the next rush or bite. So many lost souls who lived their lives chasing after something that so few would provide for them. At least Malakiah found a good use for them. 

Juliet’s eyebrow rose at the bold declaration. It was one thing to speak of them in whispers, but another to be so brazen with his words to those that he’d offered to employ. “That is a rather interesting strategy of yours.” What surprised her more was that it must actually work from time to time. Perhaps there were some humans who actually enjoyed being belittled. Juliet would need to look into that. “Impressive though. Dare I ask who Danny is?” 

Shaking her hand, Malakiah gave her a smile and nodded. “Doing pretty good actually. Just moved in with my hot as fuck boyfriend.” He grinned as he spoke now. “Got all his stuff unpacked. So other than this little stunt played by the humans, great. Just need some goddamn bartenders and then everything would be peachy.” He added as he went back to his own drink. Which didn’t do much for him other than taste good. He had a high tolerance for drinking and drugs. One that had only grown since he moved in with Jasper. God they both loved a good pixie high. If he was home when Kia got off work maybe they could down a bottle each and just have a trip together. Sounded like a good way to spend a night to Kia. 

“So, if you wont take the bar tending job, Juliet, what do you do around here?” Kia asked before taking another customers empty glass. He started to wash it out carefully as he listened to her. Most people around here either had a job or where willing to claw someones eyes to get one. That was just how this place worked. So the fact that she didn’t take his offer mean that she already had something lined up. He was curious. Which often got him into a world of trouble but she didn’t seem all that threatening for now. Of course, Kia wasn’t one to assume that would last for ever. Underestimation was the quickest way to get killed. 

Shaking his head, Malakiah let out a loud, blunt, laugh. “He’s just one of the regulars.” He promised with a wave of his hand. “Most of those guys are.” He waved one hand towards a group of men and woman he’d just been talking too. “None of them are hunters. Those guys have the egos. They are mostly feeders. They know they are just as fucked up and evil as the rest of us.” Kia explained as he put the clean glass away and leaned on the bar a bit. “All they want from me is a drink and all I want from them is payment. Its a good system.”

She listened to them bicker for a few moments, sipping from her wine and pursing her lips as she looked over her boys. Aurelia didn’t call this family dinner for them to sit and argue, in fact it was for the complete opposite reason and yet she had maybe expected more maturity from the two of them than this. “Enough.” The fae spoke curtly, setting her wine glass down as hardened eyes looked between the other two fae. “I don’t care to know who either of you have had relations with and really, I had hoped to have waited until after dinner, but it’s apparent that isn’t going to be possible. Jasper, do you think you’re the only one hurt by what happened? Do you think that you got abandoned and no one else had any other emotions about it?” She asked, though she wasn’t about to leave Samuel out of her reaming as eyes fell on him, “And do you think winding him up in a situation in which he’s already obviously going to be on edge is a good idea when I wouldn’t have called you all here if I didn’t think it was necessary?” 

Aurelia let the words hang in the air as she picked up knife and fork, and took a bite of the starter that had been made for them. “Jasper, I didn’t leave you voluntarily, I don’t know how much more plainly I can put that. There is nothing in this world that hurts me more than the time I’ve lost with you, though I’m not sure how I can get you to believe that other than the fact that you know I can’t lie. I care about you, and therefore I care about Malakiah if he’s important to you. I don’t need to know the ins and outs of your relationship, in fact I rather hope you spare me the details.” She looked between them all this time, including the fallen as she let out a sigh. “Someone targeted us, and I don’t remember who it was. They altered my memories and that means I can’t keep you safe from them if they decide they didn’t get what they wanted from me. We need to protect one another, whether or not you care Jasper, you have my surname. Whether or not you’re serious about threats Sammy, you’re a part of our family. And you, Malakiah, are known to mean something to my son now and so I’m sorry but you are also a part of this.” 

“I sound paranoid, I know that. I couldn’t protect you before, I couldn’t protect myself. I can and will now.” A pause again, as she focused on her food once more, having another sip of wine. “Someone tell me about Amos and why he thinks he should have any semblance of control over a Dalton.” 

@deep-trouble​

The thing about pulling the pin, lobbing the grenade, and a watching it explode was that Sammy enjoyed every second of it. Seeing Jasper get all wound up. Oh it was magical. After years and years of knowing the his little brother, Sammy could push and poke just the right buttons to get a reaction out of him. Little tickle here. Little tap there. Flip that switch. Watch him spin around. What a game it was to enjoy. Even if mom didn’t love it so much, Sammy was in his glory. Even when Jasper grabbed the back of his neck. Turned the attention on him instead. Or tried to. 

Mommy wouldn’t have that. 

Tonight, it wasn’t about Sammy. It was about Jasper and his knew little thing. So, no matter how hard Jasper tried he was always going to be in the spotlight. Exactly where he didn’t want to be. What a joy! 

Sitting up a bit, Sammy swatted away Jasper’s hands and looked at his mother as they started to lecture each the two of them. “Please, all of you. One question at a time.” He raised his hands and sat back. Looking to Jasper, Sammy offered him a smile. “First of all, I’ve been fucking my wife and husband thank you very much.” Sammy started. “Maybe a few others but that’s neither here nor there.” He waved one hand a bit. “Second, how dare you? Have you forgotten what Finding Nemo taught us? Fish are friends, not food. They should be eaten out and nothing more.” He pointed out in calm tone before turning his attention to his mother. 

“Third, yes. Yes, I do think its all a great idea.” Sammy answered her first question about winding Jasper up. “Gotta get his little ticker working again. It’s been all looped out since you went bye-bye for a hot minute.” He informed her with a quick smile. “Forth, mom, I hate to tell you this, but I kill people for a living. It’s messy but lets be honest, you knew that already. If someone’s coming after us, let’em. They can met me at the door instead. Then I’ll make them go sleep with the fishes. And no in the fun way. No more problem. The useful son will take care of it. End of story.”

Jasper’s emotions were taking hold of him; to the point where he had completely forgotten his boyfriend was there in the room. In his head, it was just him, his brother, and his mother who had abandoned him. Whether it was her choice or not was still up for debate in his mind. 

He opened his mouth to speak, but instead, flinched as his mother interrupted him and Sammy. His hands flattened against the table only for his fingers to curl in on themselves; his nails digging into his the soft skin of his palms. 

Jasper squeezed his eyes shut and lowered his chin to his chest. Focus. He hissed at himself internally as his mother continued to speak. But it wasn’t just her voice out loud that was causing him to grow dizzy. It was her in his head. 

I did leave, Sper. But I’m back now.

Shut up. 

I taught you better manners than that.

“Who the fuck said I need you to keep me safe?” He found himself hissing at his mother’s physical form. “I’ve handled myself for years without you.” He spat. “Years without dad.” A sticky substance coated his fingers as he dug his nails into his skin even more. “And this fucker isn’t much help.” He shot a glare at his brother. “I haven’t needed you for a long fucking time so what makes you think I need or want you now?”

So cruel, Sper. Why are you so cruel?

“Because you made me this way!” He shouted at his own thoughts. Though, it took him a moment to realize that he had said it out loud. His hands were shaking as he took a step back from the table. 

I raised you better than this. 

Sammy’s words were swimming in his head; jumbling up into a scrambled mess. He was unable to focus on anything other than the tone of his voice. He seemed calm but the words – as jumbled as they were – didn’t connect with the calmness of his voice. “I’m not crazy!” Was the only response the younger Dalton gave to his brother. 

I am crazy. I’m very much loony tunes.

But you’re my crazy.

“I’m not. I’m not crazy. I’m not–” Jasper shook his head back and forth as he placed his now bloodied hands on his face. “Fuck you!” He spat. “Fuck you all. For sitting around this fucking fake ass table, bullshitting like we are a normal fucking family again!” He shouted. “Newsflash: We will never be that family again. Never in a million fucking years.” And then his eyes found Malakiah’s, causing air to catch in his throat. Fuck. “I– Not you. I didn’t mean–” Too much. Too fucking much. 

“I need some fucking air.” He turned without another thought and walked out of the room. 

@envy-fallen​

As the family began to bicker with one another, Kia had to look down at his plate. He rubbed just under his nose to hide a smile that cracked across his lips as they all dug under each others skin. He’d never family and part of him had always wanted one. Well, in the past he had. After seeing the three of them interact, Kia was perfectly happy with the family he had now. Jasper. Who he understood a hell of a lot more now than he did a second ago. He tried to contain his laughter before hearing Jasper start to actually lose it. He could tell the difference between annoyed Jasper and angry Jasper. 

Looking up at his boyfriend, Kia caught his eye as soon as he warned everyone that he didn’t want to see them again. “It’s okay, I know.” He answered back quickly. He didn’t take it personally. Jasper had a tendency to fixate and forget about everything else around him when he did. Known of what he had been saying was aimed at Kia. 

Standing up as Jasper began to leave, Kia cleared his throat. “Thanks for dinner.” He told Auralia. “You don’t have to be worried about him or myself. We know how to take care of each other. We have been for a while now.” He informed her. “He’s a fucking hell of a lot stronger than you think he is. Saved my ass too many times to count.” Kia added, his wings puffing up a bit as he pushed in his chair and walked out after Jasper. 

Catching up to him outside, Kia didn’t say anything before he wrapped Jasper up in a tight hug. His wings folding down around the two of them. Shielding them both from the rest of the world. His arms tightened around the other, not caring if any of Jaspers blood got on him. He wanted to make sure that Jasper knew his family didn’t scare Kia. If anything it was good to meet them. To understand why Jasper was the way he was. 

“Move in with me, will you?”

“Your daddy isn’t being very nice.” Jasper muttered to the little girl as he used one of his hands, which was wrapped around her wrist, to drag her along. He had saved her from people who would have most likely done harm to her, but that didn’t mean he enjoyed her company. In fact, he considered the brat quite annoying. 

A fucking mood killer.

“Ow!” Jasper hissed as the little girl bit him and began thrashing against his grip. Fucking brat. He grabbed her underneath her arms and lifted her up, throwing her body over his shoulder. He held her legs tightly so that she couldn’t kick him. The punching, however, he could handle. 

“How about we play the quiet game?” Jasper hummed. “Where you be quiet and stop complaining.” The last word came out as a hiss as he opened the front door of Malakiah’s home – their home – and shut it behind them. 

“Kiaaaaaaa. I have a present for you!” He shouted, making sure it was higher than the little girl’s screams. 

Living with Jasper was bliss. Yeah, okay, sometimes they had little spats about who’s turn it was to do the dishes but nothing beat waking up to his Tiger every night and going to sleep with him in the morning. He couldn’t imagine not having him around now that they did live together. Plus, Kia had started really hating to be alone after Lan’s little drop by. These days he wasn’t home alone much and when he was it was never for very long. 

Hearing the front door swing open and then shut, Kia stretched out on the couch. He yawned and put the book he’d been reading over down. Looking over his shoulder, Kia was a bit shocked to see a child slung over one of Jaspers shoulders. 

One that was screaming. 

“Did you kidnap her or?” Kia asked as he rolled on to his feet. His wings raised and flapping slightly as he approached the two. “Get some girl pregnant?” He tipped his head to the side a bit. He’d never been so happy to be gay in all his life. Just the idea of fucking a woman and having a child, god forbid, set a chill down his spin.

“I- Why do you have a child?”

The fae thankfully had no need for the humans as some of the others had, but Juliet could see the possible consequences. There would be retribution from those who had lost, of that she could be certain. Just what that entailed was yet to be determined. As always, the fae would watch and take no side. Perhaps it was much the same for the fallen. She always thought that it would be the humans who destroyed the world if left unstopped. 

“I’ll keep that in mind.” She’d never actually take Kia up on the offer. Juliet’s future was determined for her when she was still in the womb. Never had the woman had a choice in how her life would go. Not that she’d like to trade what she currently had for slinging drinks at those who wanted someone pretty to look at while they spilled their problems. Then again, it was an interesting opportunity to gain intel for those interested. She chuckled, lips quirking in a smirk. “Don’t say that too loudly. I believe that some might reconsider the position should you call them monkeys.” 

In general, Kia had never been one for taking sides. He did it once. World war two. What a mistake that was. All he left with was a heavy helping of PTSD and same stories that made most people shit themselves. No, in his long life, Malakiah had almost always been happy to watch others scrap away at each other. Sure, he might add a little fuel to the fire. Sue him, he liked the chaos of it all. Yeah, he was happy living in his own little bubble. As long as that bubble didn’t get popped no big deal. However, come after him or anyone he cared about and you’d have literal hellfire to deal with. Until then, the humans could rip each other apart all they wanted. 

“Malakiah, by the way. Don’t think I said that before.” He offered his hand to the woman before using his other to take another drink from his glass. A slight look of confused look crossed his face at her comment to keep it down. “These guys?” He asked pointing around the room. “These guys wont do shit. Most of them are feeders. I don’t think one of these assholes is from the hideout or where ever the fuck the humans are now.” Kia stated as he stood back. 

Spreading his wings out again, he clapped his hands loudly to get everyone’s attention. “Dumb shits, listen up! Just called all humans dumb monkeys. Any of you want to prove me wrong, lets go.” He opened his arms wide and invited anyone in the bar to attack him. No one moved. There was a faint cough and someone told him to fuck off.  “Fuck you Danny!” Kia called back with a smile before turning back to Juliet. “See, no shits given. They know their place here.”

There was no arguing the point. If humans hadn’t already been the bottom of the power structure, the little stunt that harmed so many far more powerful people would have put them there. It was considered a kindness that not all were suffering due to the actions of the leader of the hideout. She supposed that giving humans a chance to work their way back into the trust of others also was a kindness of the demon, although it was common knowledge just how his kind treated the humans. 

Before she could even order it, she found him pouring the glass of wine. Red although she couldn’t tell what kind in the lighting. Still far better than what she expected walking through the doors. “While I appreciate the opportunity, I am already gainfully employed. So thank you, but no thank you.”  She chuckled at his little speech. “Is that truly your hiring criteria? Attractiveness?” 

Yes, the whole bombing of the humans hideout seemed like an odd choice. Even to Kia. He hadn’t seen that one coming and was really only grateful that the Fallen generally stayed out of politics in this city. He had enough on his plate without getting into that mess of things. Power structures and dynamics such as those where for other species. Other people. He wasn’t beholden to anyone. Just himself and those he choose to be. Freedom was a gift he grabbed for himself and fell with. 

And they called it sin. 

“Oh for fuck sake.” Malakiah grunted as she turned down his offer of a job. “Well, if you ever find yourself looking, I’m hiring.” He pointed out before pouring himself a scotch on the rocks. He hadn’t been planning to get drunk tonight but with the state of things- Well, he was hitting the big old fuck it button. Maybe he could snatch up Jasper later and burn something else down. “Hot bartenders make more money.” He shrugged his shoulders. “And the guys around here don’t exactly want complex drinks. A monkey- A human-” He corrected himself. “-Could do this job.”

jacks eyes widened slightly as kia started towards him, the arm reaching out to him. he was certainly more concerned about malakiah than he was himself at the touch, considering how weak he knew his presence alone made him never mind his touch. “don’t worry about me, kia. i’m still me. they tried to get me to move to the silver city, to work for them in their pretty little shake shack and i told them know. my priorities are still what it’s always been; protecting the humans and my self-made family.” he would protect whoever he could, but he also knew that everyone had their priorities. protecting the humans, and the light in them, was that not the best course of action? 

he watched kia’s wings tense, knowing the signs of him becoming frustrated,  angry and perhaps even fearful… yet also rightfully so considering what the man had been through in his life. “i’m still me, man. i promise. can you still be my friend?” not that they’d particularly seen each other recently, which may have been due to jasper if he was completely honest. “i don’t want you dead. i would never want you dead. is that enough?”

Shaking his head, Malakiah looked Jack dead in the eye. “You don’t understand.” He grunted after a moment. He was frustrated and he was angry and he was a bit fearful. Not for himself but for Jack. He hated angels. He hated them so much it pained him to deal with them. Of course, Jack was the acceptation now and not the rule. However, that rule had been in place since before Kia was even aware of himself. He had fallen. Lost his ability to fly. Nearly died. All to get away from them. Them and the creator. Whatever the fuck the creator was. He hated them like fire hates water. Like a fish hates air. 

“They will make you forget everything that makes you, you Jack.” Kia stated in a hushed growl. “They will take and force and use you if they can. Don’t let them. Not for anything. Not me or anyone else. They’ll make you unrecognizable to yourself.” He warned, his hand twisting into Jack’s shirt collar. His face a mix of anger and sadness. He didn’t want this for Jack. None of it. The guy had been through enough. 

Then everything softened. “Of course.” Kia answered him without hesitation. “Of course. You’ll always have me. It’s more than enough Jack. With or without that fucking light you are gonna be enough.” Malakiah promised him as he smoothed out his friends shirt. He had to step back and give himself some space then. Just to breath. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m just scared you are.”

“red please, dear.” aurelia called back to sammy with a soft tone and a smile to match. she couldn’t lie, she hadn’t been happy in the slightest when she found out about her husbands indiscretions, and how he had fathered another child but she could not hold that innocent child accountable for that. the older fae had tried so hard to keep sammy on the path of the light, to influence him into staying on it but the fact that his father treated him so poorly and his mothers disposition, she could hardly be surprised that he had been swallowed by the darkness. she would love him anyway, as she would her own son if anything like that should happen. 

still, she tutted as sammy teased jasper so, knowing that the younger was on edge enough as it was, and yet she couldn’t help but smile a little at the questions that he had asked, “come now, sammy, don’t tease him so much, and please ‘sper, mind your language. he’s trying to wind you up.” they were often poking at one another, trying to wind each other up and it seemed that hadn’t changed in the four hundred and thirty years she’d been absent from their lives. 

a brow raised when malakiah spoke of being a business owner; she had heard of the underpass. “that’s very impressive, malakiah, and you’re a little older than i expected.” perhaps that would be good for jasper, pehaps this one could be a good influence on him. aurelia listened to the story of how they met and smiled, happy that her son had found someone that not only understood him, but that had persevered when he likely had tried to put up a wall. who wouldn’t, after all jasper had lost? “well, you sound very much like you’re good for jasper.” she spoke, as the first course was served. “sammy come now, sit. let’s eat.” @deep-trouble​ 

For once, Sammy was careful when he poured his mother’s glass of wine. Aurelia really was too good for this world. She’d been the only one to care about him when he was young. It felt kinda nice to actually have someone look out for him. These days he had a few more names on his list. The list of people he would not only kill for but die for. Aurelia’s name had been their the longest, however, and it was wonderful to have her back. Maybe with her held Sammy had a chance at getting closer to Jasper as well. God knew that the two brothers hadn’t always been the best of friends. Maybe it was the age difference or the life style difference or the fact that they had a shitty dad who ruined everything but this could be good. In more ways then one. 

Laughing lightly as he sat down beside Aurelia and across from where Kia and Jasper sat, Sammy hummed. “I am not trying to wind him up. I did wind him up.” He corrected his mother lightly before taking a drink from his beer. “That’s adorable. A real love story for the ages.” He teased the two once Kia was done speaking. His job as an older brother was to be a dick head, right? Make this hard on the two of them? Even if it wasn’t, Sammy had never been good at making anything easy. 

“Like, way too good.” Sammy added as he sat back. The meals came out and the food looked amazing.  Aurelia had always had a good taste when it came to food.

-

Jasper remained silent as his boyfriend began talking; answering all of the questions that his mother seemed to be asking. He took another swig of the bottle as he leaned against the nearest wall. He couldn’t bring himself to sit. Not yet. He was growing even more anxious with every second that passed and his brother was not making it any easier. In fact, he was making it worse.

“Mind my language?” Jasper jerked his head back in disbelief. “I’m over four hundred and fifty years old, Aurelia. I can say whatever I damn well please.” He hissed at her, his eyes showing just how annoyed he was at her. 

His jaw clenched as he took several gulps of the alcohol; silently wishing it would work faster. His annoyance only grew when Malakiah called him by the nickname he gave him. Jasper’s hand tightened around the neck of the bottle. “And the two of you need to know this shit… why?” Jasper found himself asking his family. “It’s not like either of you truly give a shit.” 

Calm down.

That wasn’t very nice of you, Sper. 

He stretched the muscles in his neck as he took another gulp of the vodka. “How about instead of talking about me and mine–” Jasper moved towards his brother and placed a strong hand on the back of Sammy’s neck. “Why don’t we talk about my big bro?” He tilted his head to eye the others. “Who are you fucking as of late, Samuel?” He tightened his grip on Sammy’s neck. “Is it one of the high council members?” Jasper paused. “Oh wait, no wait, it’s a fucking merfolk, isn’t it?” Jasper let out a laugh. “A fucking fish. God. Imagine!” 

Jasper was all but guessing, and trying to stir the pot in the direction of someone else. He hated talking about his personal life with anyone, especially his mother, whom he hadn’t seen in centuries, and his brother, who does everything he can to piss him off. 

Jasper released Sammy and took a step back as the first meal was brought to the table. He snubbed his nose and moved towards his chair. He collapsed into it before downing the rest of the bottle of vodka.

At Aurelia’s words, Malakiah couldn’t keep the smile off his face. He seemed to have made a good first impression on Jaspers mother. She didn’t need to know all the details of everything they got up to. Everything he told her was true, no lies, just some omissions. Like the whole burning things for fun. Fucking in front of said burning things. Breaking a mans noise. Nearly getting his wings cut off and only surviving because Jasper was high as fuck and able to just keep going. She didn’t need to know about the whole pixie cupcakes and Jack thing. Nah. those things were better left unsaid. 

“Thanks.” Kia nodded back to Aurelia. “I hear that a lot actually but Fallen don’t really age. It would be hard to tell a four year old Fallen from a million year old one.” He explained with a shrug. “I like to think we age like fine wine.” Kia chuckled before the two brothers went at each other. 

So this is what having a sibling was like. Constantly at each others throats. Did they find this fun? Not from the look on Jaspers face. Sammy looked happy. Even as Jasper dug into him. 

“Jasp-” Kia tried to butt in but he gave up. What he going to say? This was Jaspers family. He wasn’t about to tell him how to talk to family. Fuck it. Kia didn’t even know how to properly talk to family. He had none. What did he know about any of this? 

Sitting back, Kia also took a long drink for his beer bottle. Finishing it off, he avoided eye contact with everyone till the food arrived. Once Jasper was sat down next to him again, he spread his wing just enough to brush the side of his shoulder. “This looks amazing.” He breathed out and sat forwards. Taking the beer that was meant for Jasper, Kia popped it open and hoped to god that Jasper and Sammy didn’t start throwing things at each other.

juliet-briggs​:

Juliet knew that safety would be locking herself up in a tower somewhere far from the destruction below. Safety meant that she wouldn’t have to witness the deviation that the humans had released upon the population of Calamity. She merely noted things that had changed in the brief period that Juliet was gone. So far, there was little to no pity for those who perished. True they had walked into the trap, but that didn’t mean that there wasn’t some tragedy concerning the lives lost that were now being written off as nothing. 

Ducking to avoid the impressive wingspan, feeling that the fallen would probably would rather hit another than knock over any of the bottles of alcohol. “Some advertisement.” Juliet muttered under her breath, watching the humans mummer amongst themselves. She was honestly shocked by the response. Clearly there was something to the temptation that Malakiah offered.

Letting his wings fall back into a slightly folded position, Malakiah relaxed himself as murmurs broke out across the bar. Surely one of these idiots could use a job pouring drinks. It wasn’t that hard and its not like Kia didn’t pay well. He did. Well, he thought he did. The manager took care of that. Kia didn’t like work, he never had. That’s why he owned the bar and paid other people to do all the shitty stuff that came with owning a bar. For Kia it was just away to keep his lights on and food on the table.

“Listen, they know what they are.” Kia chuckled at the woman's comment. Nothing got past him. He was a demon after all. They lived to hear whispers. “Whatta want to drink? Or did my little speech move something in your cold dead heart, huh?” He asked as he grabbed a bottle of wine and started to pour a glass out for her. “Need a job? Pay is good. Keep your tips all that shit. Get your days off and- I mean you’d do well here. You’re hot enough.” Kia pointed out with a coo before sliding the wine to her.

Location: The Underpass (Post-Event)

Open: Everyone

“Fucking hell.” Kia looked down at the list of names of his employees. “I lost five guys in that fucking humans little explosion.” He grunted as he crossed off the names of the dead. Honestly, he wasn’t upset about losing them because he cared. Nah. They were just faces in the crowd. Names on a list of people he payed every two weeks to run his bar. It was just annoying. Now he needed to find more bartenders and a couple more bouncers to keep the place running smoothly. So much work because some human was a little explosion happy. It wasn’t even that impressive! Where was the hellfiire? Where was the burning screaming people trying to escape the flames? Ugh. What a pain in the ass this whole thing was.

Pouring himself a drink, Malakiah threw the shot down his throat. He swallowed and spread his wings out as far as they could. Flapping them a few times to get everyone's attention, Kia whistled. “Listen up! Any of you fucks need a job, come talk to me. We just had some stuff open up thanks to that ratfuck at the play the other night.” He yelled to the crowded bar. “One mans death could be your way to a better pay check and free booze for the night.”

If he were honest with himself, he had been worried that his friend wouldn’t be all that interested in him or spending time with him now that he was sober… but then, they’d not really seen each other much in recent times anyway. Kia had a boyfriend that certainly didn’t like Jack and so it had just been somewhat easier to just let the distance sit there and grow without either side making the attempt to close it again. “Thank you, that means a lot from you, Malakiah.” He smiled softly, chewing on his lower lip as he resisted the urge to hug his friend; he knew it would just make him feel worse.

Jack saw the defensiveness, of course he did, he knew Kia better than perhaps the fallen even thought he did. Sighing, he took another step back in an attempt to dampen the effects he would be having on him. “It happened not long after I got clean. Dad’s voice went away from my mind, and it was like warmth took over instead. I was unawakened all this time, apparently.” a beat, before piping up again, “I mean I wouldn’t worry if I were you… it’s me, I’m bound to fuck up enough to lose the light one way or another eventually.” 

There was very little that Malakiah remembered before he fell. What he could recall was feeling like a slave. Shackled. Suffering. Boredom. There had been no thought, no will of his own. No freedom. All he had was a room, a desk, and names to be written down day in and day out. When he’d chosen to sin it had been the first choice he’d ever made. Falling was the best thing that had happened to him. Getting away from those feathered fucks up in- Where ever the hell he’d been born into or created in or whatever, was one thing he’d never regretted. 

Now his best friend was a part of all that. 

Yes, he was only half but it still bothered Kia. Not just because of the history he had with what humans called heaven but because they always took more. Now they took Jack. They wanted too much. They took too much. They gave nothing back.

“It’s not a fuck up to lose that shit.” Kia staggered forwards. His one hand reaching out to grab Jack’s arm. His muscles felt weak but he held on anyways. “Don’t let those other Neph get in your head, Jack. They want you to be a good little pet. To not think for yourself.” He went on. “They don’t care about you or me or each other. They care about whatever the fuck made us and it’s will. That’s it. You step a toe out of line or make a choice for yourself and you’re-” His jaw set, black wings tense. “-done.” He growled out the word before falling back a bit. His chest felt tight. “Be careful. Those cunts want me and everyone like me dead.”

It warmed her heart to see at least one of her sons happy to see her, though it always seemed to be the case with Sammy. Her step-son through her husbands indiscretions had taken to her just as she had taken to him, treating him absolutely no different than her biological son and that would always continue. “Yes. Thank you, darling. Whatever Jasper and his boyfriend will be drinking too, and I trust you’ll help yourself to your own drink.” Aurelia smiled thankfully at her step-son as he helped support her, and she sat with only a small wince. Her leg was the issue, broken badly and broken many times, made to heal incorrectly on purpose each time. It was painful. 

“There’s beers in for you boys, you might find some vodka somewhere in the kitchen if you care to look.” She replied as she glanced between the fallen and Jasper, and then down to her sons bleeding hand. “Fae can heal themselves just fine from a superficial wound. He doesn’t need a bandage. But I’m thankful that you’re concerned for him, and it’s a pleasure to meet you, Malakiah. Please, call me Aurelia.” The fae didn’t mention that, despite her husband being dead (her own son being accused of causing it) it was still Mrs, out of respect for her husband but she didn’t want to bring it up and have him feel he offended her when he hadn’t. 

Perhaps she should’ve gone to see Sammy before the invitations went out, but time hadn’t allowed it and she wanted them all to come over whilst Jasper still felt like he couldn’t say no considering Aurelia had just returned. “Dead seemed to be what you all thought I was, so I won’t take it personally.” She teased, smiling softly at Sammy, “We can talk about it later, if you like, but not before the main is served. I’d hate for dinner to be ended early.” She promised, before turning to Kia. “So, I know my boys even if I’ve missed a lot. Tell me about yourself, Malakiah.” 

@deep-trouble​

Nodding, Sammy got up quickly and scooted his way into the kitchen just across the hallway. It was odd to have a mother again. Well, it was odd to have a mother at all. His biological mother wasn’t exactly a five star mom. God no. She was addicted to every drug under the sun and had tried to sell Sammy to a few drug lords to get a fix. Some even took her up on that offer. Thankfully, when his father re-married it was to this lovely woman. Aurelia had always been more of a mother figure to Sammy than the bio-mom. Even when his dad didn’t seem to want him around, Aurelia was happy to have him in for dinner or just to check in on him. Seeing her was a true delight. 

Coming back into the dinning room, Sammy had two bottles of wine and some beers for the group. “White or red maw?” He asked as dropped off a bottle of beer for Jasper and Kia respectively. Sitting down next to Aurelia, Sammy smiled bright as his attention turned on Jasper and his new boo-thang. Adorable. They looked funny together. 

“Oo, yes, please. Go on.” Sammy grinned form ear to ear now and sat forward in his seat. “How did you first meet? How long have you known each other? Are you gonna get a dog together?” He started nearly buzzing in his chair. “Did Jasper tell you that when he was a baby he used to put flowers in his hair and sing horribly with nothing but his slippers on? Once he even got out of the house or I let him out, depends on who you ask, and he ran all the way down the street. Naked as a jay bird. Good times.”

Leaning back, Sammy smiled and finally poured himself a glass of red wine. Right to the rim. He glanced at Jasper then and shot him a big, shit eating, grin. What were older brothers for if not to bug his baby brother?

Jasper was incredibly distracted by both of his family members being in the same room as him – let alone his mother being alive – to notice the blood that was seeping from the wound he had created on his hand. It wasn’t until Malakiah began using napkins to treat his wound that he noticed it. 

He remained still as Malakiah treated the wound, not bothering to tell his boyfriend that he’d be able to heal from it. Mother already had. He clenched his jaw and nodded at Malakiah’s statement. “Or just eaten some before coming.” He muttered before he turned his attention back to Sammy and his mother. 

He shifted uncomfortably in his chair as his mother asked about Malakiah. He was still getting used to the fact that his mother was not dead, or missing. After several centuries, it became a normal thing for him. But now? Now he had to adjust once again to her presence. “Just vodka?” He frowned as he got up from the chair and moved towards the kitchen. He opened all the cabinets until he found a bottle. Not even the good kind. He grabbed the neck of the bottle and shut the cabinet doors. 

“I don’t see why any of that is your fucking business, Sammy.” Jasper shot at his half brother. He knew the family dinner was going to be a disaster, but he’d rather not talk about what he used to be like. Jasper let out a breath and unscrewed the top of the bottle, taking several large swigs of the vodka. 

@envy-fallen​

In truth Malakiah had no idea what to expect when the invitation came to their doorstep. Half of him thought that Jasper would just out right refuse. He hadn’t spoken much about his brother and mother or any of his family really. But, hell, they raised Jasper. So at the very least Kia was thankful for that. Plus this wasn’t exactly the first time Kia had met one of his loves parents. Even if it was a bit chaotic, it was better than being chased out of the house with a shot gun. Although, he supposed, there was still time for that. 

What Kia didn’t like was having all of the attention turned on to him. Normally being at the center of anything give him a thrill but not tonight. He had been hoping to sort of slip into the background and put on a good show for Jaspers mother. Being addressed directly, he looked up from the beer that Sammy had given him as Jasper left him to go find something stronger. “Um, I- Uh. Well, I own a bar. The Underpass. It’s doing well.” Malakiah started. “I’m just over seven hundred. So, been around the block a few times.” His wings shifted on his back a few times before relaxing once Jasper got back. 

The bickering between brothers brought a smile to his face. “Tiger, it’s fine.” He cooed. “We met at a bar. Didn’t think it was going to turn into anything but I couldn’t get Jasper out of my head once he left.” Kia admitted with a stupid smile on his face. “And not just because he’d incredibly handsome either.” He added, his free hand reaching out to grip Jasper’s wrist. If he didn’t want to deal with this, Kia could handle it. All of it. “It’s been, what? Six months now? It’s hard to keep track of time. Seems like yesterday and forever ago.” Kia mumbled before turning his smile on Aurelia. Turning the charm up to eleven, Malakiah took a sip of beer. “Don’t know if we’re dog people but a cat I could see.”

Read More Now!

Malakiah was completely unaware that anyone was watching them. Not that he would have cared even if he had known. They could watch all they want. Be jealous. Wish they were in his place. God knows his boyfriend was probably the hottest thing on earth at the moment. How could you not watch? What Kia did hear where those moans. He loved making Jasper curse and begin to lose it. The grip on his hair made a low groan leave the back of Kia’s throat as tears rolled down his cheeks. Though they weren’t their for long. Opening his eyes, Kia looked up at Jasper and watched him taste them. Fuck. 

At Jasper’s tug, Kia slipped off him and smiled. He wiped his lips on the back of his hand and hummed softly a his Tigers request. They might as well have been alone in a room together. No amount of eyes would stop him from jumping on Jasper and riding him till they were both good and done. 

“Fuck the play.” Kia grunted as he rolled on to his feet. “I just want to look at you.” He promised before pulling his joggers off and his boxers down. Climbing on to Jasper’s lap, Kia spat into his own hand and slicked Jasper up before lining himself up and sitting back. His forehead pressed against the others, blue eyes on those almost black ones of his Tiger. 

Bitting his lower lip, Kia didn’t take to long to sit back on Jasper. They had enough sex that he didn’t need to be prepped every time. Besides that the pixie was dulling any pain and enhancing every bit of pleasure. “God, I love your cock.” Kia moaned, hips rolling forwards to grip against Jaspers lap. His own dick stood hard against his stomach. He’d practically been hard since they dropped pixie at his place. Reaching back he grabbed one of Jasper’s hands and drew it up to that spot on his shoulder blades. 

Greedy? Maybe. But he wanted more.

lxcidval​:

Val adored her Kia. He was just a bundle of chaos wrapped in an adorable bow. She liked Jasper too, but not as much as Kia. Maybe it was because they understood each other on a fundamental level. As he rested against her legs, she idly ran a hand through his hair while the other brought the bottle to her lips. After a few moments of swallowing, she laughed, setting the bottle aside. “I know, I know,” in response to their re-connection. He and Demitri had been the first she’d wanted to tell that she was alive. Even if it had been just barely.

“Yep. Apparently so. Some blond- something or other named…its a color. I can’t fuckin remember, doesn’t matter-” she shouldn’t blame Demi for anything but a little part of her felt betrayed by it all. “Noooo don’t burn his house down. It has so many fun things in it.” She stopped petting his hair and opted to pet his wing instead, enjoying the feel of satin across her fingers. “I’m still so jealous. You can fly. Ugh. Oh! Oh!” she stopped, reaching for her bag to dig out the invitation to the ball. “Did you get one of these,” she offered it over to him, before grabbing her bottle to drink down the rest. “I hope he’s going.”

Kia didn’t know much. Not for certain anyways. But what he did know was this: Who ever this Demitri guy was, he could go fuck himself with a spiked bat. No one got to yank Val’s chain around like this and get away with it. That just wasn’t fair. Not to one of Malakiah’s besties. That fucker was going to apologize or burn. It would, of course, be his choice. Kia wasn’t that much of a monster. Okay, he was but Val was too good a friend to let her down like that. He loved her too much to take out someone she liked without at least giving them away out first. 

“Gross.” Malakiah grunted before he took another swig from his bottle. “She’s probably got one of those tiny rat-dogs that bites everything that comes near it.” He winced at the thought. “And is no where near as beautiful as you, Babe.” Kia leaned his head back to look at Val. A large, drunken smile plastered across his face. “Boring. If you change your mind just let me know. I burn well.” He promised before letting his eyes fall forwards again. 

For a moment he thought about telling her about Lan and the attack. In fact he opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off. A laugh left his lips and Kia shook his head. “I can’t fly. I literally tell you this every time we’re drunk.” He teased. “Oh fuck that thing. Yeah. Jasper and I are going. You’ll have to point that motherfucker out tto me. I’ll trip and throw a drink on him or something.”
