In a small home in the shinigami realm two men slept peacefully in their shared bed. The smaller male was Alan Humphries; he was a young reaper with brown hair and a small built, almost effeminite body. Next to Alan was his lover Eric Slinby. Eric was a older Scottish grim reaper he was tall and thickly built with two toned hair, one side was shoulder length and blonde while the other side was dyed black and pulled into cornrows.
Alan rolled over and nuzzled into Eric's neck. He knew they had to get to work but Eric's body was so warm he just wanted lay there all day with his boyfriend. A small knock at the bedroom door had both men sitting up groggily. Their sixteen year-old daughter Nicole peeked in.
"If you two don't hurry you'll be late for work" she gave a small smile before shutting the door and leaving her parents alone.
Eric stretched "who needs an alarm clock when Nicole gets us up every morning."
As his lover was slowly waking up Alan rose and put on his glasses. A blush crossed his pale face as Eric got up as well, his back to the brunette giving the smaller male a clear view of his ass, one of the products of sleeping in the nude every night.

As Alan fixed breakfast he smiled at Nicole's help. Her long hair was blond like Eric's, but she was built more like Alan. Nicole's scythe, a spear, was next her parents'. It wasn't unusual for a reaper parent to give their child a real scythe before they graduated from the academy and Nichole's parents had been no different. Eric had given it to her for her sixteenth birthday. The thought that soon Nikki would be a fully licensed reaper bothered Alan slightly, the petit brunette not liking to admit his little girl was growing up. Alan had been young, barely out of the academy himself, when Nikki was born and everyone had feared mother and child would both die due to Alan's disease known as The Thorns of Death. Alan's fear had been what the baby would look like since around the time he had gotten pregnant he had slept with his boss William T Spears after catching Eric with Grell Sutcliff a few days beforehand. As one of Alan's closest friends, Grell alone knew how relieved he had been when Nikki had inherited Eric's natural blonde hair. Even now, years later, he wasn't sure what he would do if the truth about the affair ever came out.
