It was the annual thunderstorm in Oriel; it was the sign that winter is ending, and spring is flowing in to let the lush colors of the flowers bloom. While it was a sign of nature's beauty awakening, it also meant awakening those humans who are trying to catch some good night's sleep. In the roar of Aion which is telling everyone winter is ending, is not giving a pair boys, living together in a studio, any sleep.
"Sweet Ariel, when will those flashlights ever stop?" A silver haired boy with a puffy bobbed hair slowly sat up, groaning, as he rubbed his sleepy aquamarine eyes.
"Huanghun, we should appreciate the fact that this is what makes Oriel so beautiful," Another boy, whose facial features look just like his descendant, Huanghun, except with a spiky hair. "Tommorow, the entire place will smell like a fresh garden, and it will be perfect to give Chimchim and Nah a perfect walk!" The ancestor of Huanghun, Cingloon turns his head towards the other, then glanced at their two sleeping ribbits.
Huanghun sighed, and looked at the reptiles sleeping on their leaf beds. "I appreciate it when they sing, but its also a sign that the sounds of those drakan wardrums are about to co-"
Flash. Ka-boom. A loud thunder, and its lights flickered through the dark room. Huanghun yelped in his real pitch, which is actually a boy soprano voice which will never be broken, usually masked by speaking in a lower tone. As he yelped, he jumped out of his bed and dived into Cingloon's.
"I-I am just surprised! OK! I am not scared or anything...!" Huanghun stuttered as he quivered beneath Cingloon's sheets.
"Always stubborn aren't you?" The older one smiles, reaching his hand under the bed sheets to pet his descendant's head. "How about we share the bed tonight?"
Huanghun made a small tsk, which is a way of saying yes, when he is flustered. As he layed belly down along with Cingloon, the daevas spreaded their pure white Elyos wings from their backs. As their wings lofted over each other's bodies, enwrapping them in something even better than a teddy bear. Cingloon and Huanghun view their wings as a source of comfort; they both agree it is like a gentle hug from behind as the feathers warm their made a small tsk, which is a way of saying yes, when he is flustered.

Even though the flashes flickered, thunders roared, the boys managed to slip into a dream. The storm came to a prompt end, with the ribbits making their croaking lullabies to the boys.
Until.
Bang. A sound, louder than thunder, something so loud nature cannot create itself.
The boys both sat up on the strange sound, they felt even stranger when they noticed their ribbits were alarmed by the sound. Usually, their ribbits would not wake up at a sound of thunder, which told the boys this was probably not thunder.
"What was that, Chimchim?" Cingloon got out of his bed and proceeded to pick up his reptile companion as Huanghun did the same to Chimchim's brother, Nah.
~x~
"With all that rain, no wonder the thunder is so happy tonight," A tanned young man, with dark brown hair, and one fuchsia eye, the other being ruby red says to himself as he witnesses the thunder through the window.
After a few moments of silence, he turns off the lights, throws himself on bed, making a moaning sigh of pleasure. "Its time for me to sleep, but I hope those Huanghun doesn't get all scaredy over this weather that Cingloon would have to bring themselves to sleep in my king sized bed," The man mumbles to himself as he switches the lamp off.
Well Heigame, you are the two little bastard's big brother, you have to do everything to be their protector. So get ready when they run into my room crying. The man, Heigame goes through the life pact he has with the two daeva boys. After a few moments of silence, re-imagining through what has happened today in his life, he heard a soft meow; it was his pet kitter, Sugar.
"Come here lil' Sugar, wanna sleep with daddy tonight?" Heigame pats on his mattress, signaling the feline to come. The feline promptly jumped onto the bed, taking a spot which is awkwardly next to the pet dagg, Spice, who is fast asleep. The third pet, Mint the Larail, on the other hand, was enjoying her sleep in her little wooden house made by Cingloon and Huanghun.
Heigame proceeded to sigh, and close his eyes. Though his eyes were closed, the thunder and flashes kept the man awake. After at least 30 minutes of shut eyes, Heigame opened his eyes again to check on his animals.
Coming from nature, which us humans and daevas have mostly lost, its so amusing how they never flinch at the sound of thunder do they? Heigame admired his pets, sleeping so sound, not being awakened by the loud roars from the sky.
Then, heard another loud sound, which wasn't thunder. It was a loud scream, just like a girl, next door.
Its Huanghun, maybe I should stay awake a bit so I can let the two sleep with me tonight if they need to. Heigame sat up on his bed, looking at the wall shared by Cingloon and Huanghun's studio.
Seconds passed. Minutes passed. There was only sound of thunder, and bright flashes. The boys did not come as the thunder ends its charade.
Looks like Cingloon was able to calm his little brother down did he? Heigame chuckles at the thought and dove straight into bed.
Until.
Bang. A loud sound, similar to thunder yet was so unnatural that all the animals in Heigame's bedroom snapped out of their peaceful sleep.
What in the half drak furback fart was that? Heigame jolted up in his bed as he heard the bang.
It was then, Heigame heard a knock on the door. The only people who would knock on Heigame's door at this time is the two bastards he love dearly. It was indeed them, carrying their pet ribbits along.
