Lilia sat up with a gasp. His bed? Why was he here?

 

Oh.

 

A simple dream of the past, is all that was. He didn't like to reminisce on those days, but it seems they wanted to be remembered regardless. He was debating on whether to fall back asleep or not before he heard it.

 

The wailing.

 

𝘖𝘩!

 

Throwing the covers off of himself, he quickly rushed out of his bedroom and into the one beside his. A small white crib was at the center of the room, various children's toys surrounding it on the floor space nearby. After turning on a dim light he made his way over to the crib, and to the source of the wails.

 

A little baby laid inside, swaddled in the softest blankets known to man. Little stubby horns poked their way through the thick short hair that grew utop the little one's head. The baby's piercing green eyes were shut as he wailed.

Lilia leaned into the crib to gently scoop up the baby, cradling him in his arms while gently rocking back and forth. He cooed at the baby, softly running a hand through the little one's hair.

The sole heir to the Draconia family.

The Queen, the baby's Grandmother, had no time to care for such a little child. The task was instead placed in Lilia's hands.

He never minded, of course. If anything, he was glad to be away from the battle.

The baby let out a little giggle as Lilia began to softly bounce him. The sound filled his heart with joy.

After turning off the light in the baby's room, he made his way into the kitchen. He grabbed a pre-made bottle from the fridge and proceeded to heat it up, testing the warmth on his hand. After deeming the temperature safe, he held the bottle to the baby and watched as he started to drink.

"Goodness me! Such a hefty appetite for such a small little lad. You're determined to grow big and strong, aren't you little one?" He whispered to the other. He knows the baby isn't old enough to reply back yet, but the little one seems to enjoy idle chatter. After he had finished the bottle, Lilia laid him over his shoulder to burp him. Giggling at the little burp that left the other's body, he switched his position to be laying in his arms once more.

 

He takes them back to his own bedroom instead of laying the baby back in his crib alone.

"You must have wanted some company, didn't you? There there, little one..I will protect you from the bad dreams." He whispered to the baby, gently caressing his little face. After laying down in the bed, he piled a few pillows on the edge to act as a barrier. Gently holding the baby with one arm, he closed his eyes and let himself drift back to sleep, having a tranquil, dreamless night.

 

-o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o-

 

A cheerful cacophony of sounds resounded within the small cottage. The sound of encouraging shouts and and claps could be heard.

"Come Malleus!! I know you can do it!" The long haired male cheered, arms stretched out. Across from him, a little baby dressed in a simple black nightgown stood, holding onto a table for support. He had a bright smile, clapping along whenever the other male did, giggling each time. At the other's prompting, he slowly tried to make his way over.

 

One step, two steps.

 

Slow teetering with each little step, the baby made his way over.

When he got to the end of the table he hesitated, having not walked without support before. Lilia stayed sitting where he was and continued to cheer the baby on, clapping with a smile. The baby giggled and clapped along, then started to step away from the table and into the Lilia's arms.

 

One step, two steps.

 

The little one was walking on his own, taking little tiny baby steps. Slowly but surely, he made his way over.

"There you go!! You can do it!" Lilia cheered the other on, not bothering to hide his prideful expression, ecstatic by the other's progress.

 

The little prince was just one step away from Lilia before he started to wobble, nearly falling before reaching his little hands out to hold onto one of the other's arms. Lilia held his arm still for him and patted his lap with the other.

"You're so close little dragon! Just one more step!" He said in a soft tone, continuing to encourage the baby.

And with baited breath, watched in awe as the baby took one last step, falling into his lap.

Tears pricked his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Malleus, rocking them both back and forth slowly in a happy manner. Burying his face in the hair between the other's little stubby horns, he whispered.

"You did you wonderful, little one. I'm so so proud of you!"

 

-o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o-

 

"Malleus! I've returned!" Lilia called out into the small cottage, having just returned from collecting ingredients for their meal. He took the basket to the kitchen and laid everything out on the counter, before pausing to listen to his surroundings.

 

Silence.

 

Leaving the kitchen, he walked out into the living room.

No sign of little horns.

 

Quickly walking to the other rooms, he checks them all. Checks every drawer and closet. Checks under every bed and behind every curtain.

 

Nothing.

 

𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.

 

"𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘴! No more hiding from me! Come out!!"

 

There was no little pitter patter of small feet. No giggling voice cheering his name.

 

𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

 

Running out of the cottage, he quickly surveyed the area around it. There was nothing but thick trees and forest all around them.

He paused for a second, trying to listen for anything that could clue him in on the other's location. The sky began to turn dark, rumbling clouds covering the sky.

A clear sign of distress.

 

"𝑴𝑨𝑳𝑳𝑬𝑼𝑺!!!"

Lilia shouted out as loud as he could. He listened and heard a quiet, shaking voice yell back in reply.

"L...Lilia...!"

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦!

 

He quickly ran in the direction the voice came from as fast as he could, praying nothing terrible had happened. He shouted out a few more times as he ran to pin point where Malleus was. Before long he heard the rustling of a bush and dashed in it's direction. When he got there, the scene....

 

𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘴, 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘩. 𝘏𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘳-𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴.

Lilia paused, taking a second to absorb the image.

Before falling to his knees.

 

He let out a loud sigh, groaning as he spoke.

"𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘴.....You had me startled!! You know you aren't allowed to leave while I'm out, little one....." The other replied in a meek, quiet tone.

"...'M sorry......."

Lilia simply shook his head, sighing in an exasperated manner. He stood and walked over to the child, pulling the bush apart so he could pull his horns free. The child quickly moved away from the bush, rubbing his eyes while softly crying still. The taller crouched down and scooped him up in his arms, patting his back gently.

"There there little one...You're all safe again. I've got you!"

The child rubs his face against Lilia's shoulder, his cries coming to a gradual stop. He wraps his little arms around his neck, clutching onto his back as tight as his small hands are able to. The gently rocking of Lilia's stride lulls him into a sweet sleep, feeling safe and content.

-o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o-

 

A knocking at the door filled the small cottage with sound. It stoped for a minute, waiting, before knocking again. After a third time the person at the door simply opened it and entered. Upon entering the cottage, he is greeted by silence.

Silence?

 

He takes a few steps further into the cottage before hearing a sound coming from one of the rooms. Opening the door, he sees-

 

...𝘈 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥?

 

He hears cottage door open, and as the person closes the door he can hear their footsteps suddenly hesitate. They cross over to the room he's in slowly, cautiously.

As they round the corner he notices a knife in their hand. It must have come from the kitchen.

 

"Oh! Malleus! Why didn't you tell me you were visiting today? You almost gave me a scare!" Lilia said cheerfully, lowering the knife he held. Malleus blinked for a second before turning to look at the child, laying in his old crib. Taking a closer look, he notices that they have rounded ears.

 

..........𝘈 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥?

 

Lilia sighs, dreading having to explain. He pulls on Malleus's arm until the other follows him to the living room, where they sit.

"...A...Human child?" The taller asks his guardian.

"Yes, a human child!" Lilia replies casually, as if talking about the weather.

Malleus waited a moment, thinking Lilia would continue, but he didn't. He tried to ask the other more, wanting an explanation.

"Why do you have a human child?"

"I found him while going through the forest, abandoned and crying. I couldn't simply leave the poor thing alone! So small and defenseless!"

Malleus took in the information, not quite understanding what Lilia intended to do with the child, but had no protests. Lilia went to the kitchen to make them a treat for while they chatted, humming as he did so. After bringing over the shaved ice for them both, he looks to Malleus.

"Why the sudden surprise visit? Has something happened?"

"Ah- Yes." Malleus paused for a moment, reaching into his black cloak for something. A second later he pulled out a small device about the size of his palm.

"Gao-Gao Drakon-kun is behaving oddly. I heard him beep this morning and I thought he wanted to eat, yet when I checked him he had walked away, leaving an egg in his place."

"Gao-Gao Drakon-kun..? Oh! That toy I got for you! I'm surprised you still have it! He simply left to continue the life cycle!"

"The...life cycle?"

"Yes! Everything has a lifespan, does it not? When the lifespan of one thing is over, another begins. It is simply a part of life, little one!"

"I'm not a child anymore, Lilia."

"You will always be a little one to me, regardless of age or height!"

Malleus sighed, accepting defeat, knowing Lilia wouldn't change his mind. They enjoy their treats in a comforting silence, simply enjoying each other's company. After a little while a small whining could be heard, escalating into a soft cry. Lilia stood up from the couch and made his way over to the baby's room, taking him out of the crib into his arms. He crosses back into the living room to the kitchen, getting a pre-prepared baby bottle from the fridge, proceeding to heat it up. After testing the temperature on his hand and deeming it safe, he lets the baby drink as he crosses back to the living room. Malleus observes Lilia as he feeds the child, eyes full of love.

 

𝘈 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥....

 

Something tells him this won't be another spur of the moment decision he's seen from Lilia before. He didn't mind it, however. He's always thought the other needed some company in the small cottage.

 

-o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o- -o-o-o-o-

 

"𝘏𝘈𝘓𝘛!!!! 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘠 𝘈𝘞𝘈𝘠 𝘍𝘙𝘖𝘔 𝘔𝘈𝘓𝘓𝘌𝘜𝘚 𝘠𝘖𝘜- 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘏𝘜𝘔𝘈𝘕!!!!!"

Silver stared at green haired boy across from him, shouting while waving around a stick. Malleus was seated beneath a tree, enjoying the warm sun rays while the two children played.

"..You're half human, y'know...."

"𝘕𝘖!!! 𝘐𝘔 𝘈 𝘍𝘈𝘌!! 𝘠𝘖𝘜'𝘙𝘌 𝘈- 𝘈....𝘈 𝘉𝘖𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘏𝘜𝘔𝘈𝘕!!!!!!" The younger yelled as loud as he could, waving the stick around at the white haired boy. Silver simply sighed.

"My my! What's all this commotion out here?"

Lilia said as he exited the cottage, coming out with a tray of lunch. He walked over near Malleus, sitting down and placing the tray on the ground. The two children quickly ran over to get their own share of food. However, upon seeing the scary purple goop that sat on the plates, Silver decided he wasn't very hungry anymore. Sebek began to eat along with the two older fae, clearly not enjoying it but eating because Lilia had made it. With a mouth full of food he turned to shout at Silver once again.

"Eat your food! Lilia made this just for us!!!!!! You should be grateful!!!!!!!!"

Silver was going to just ignore him, but noticed Lilia looking at him. He reluctantly ate it, as to not make his Father sad. They all ate in a comfortable silence, with the children saying a few words here and there. After they all finished Lilia went to return the tray and plates to the kitchen, he returned with cups of shaved ice for everyone. The two kids perked up, excited. Lilia handed them their cups and spoons before sitting down next to Malleus and handing him his own. Sebek praised Lilia for the food then went off running to play again, calling out for Silver to join. Lilia gently nudges the white haired child awake then pointed to Sebek. Once awake he ran over to join him.

"Those two are so lively, aren't they Malleus?"

"Mn. Even with Silver's habit of falling asleep, he is able to keep up with Sebek."

"I've been thinking about starting training
for them soon. They're getting older, and it never hurts to be prepared. It would also be a good way to get that energy out, especially for young Sebek! A never ending bundle of energy, that one is." Lilia chuckled softly, shaking his head. The conversation drifted into silence, but neither felt obligated to pick it back up. They simply sat in the sun, enjoying the sight of the other two playing.

 

After a while, Lilia went inside to get drinks for everyone, but when he returned outside the two little ones were missing. He walks over to Malleus and notices two little lumps in his cloak. Slightly pulling it back, it reveals Silver and Sebek, napping all curled up against an also napping Malleus.

 

He smiles softly at the three, feeling like a proud Father.
