Due to my new-found interest in Assassin's Creed, I have decided to start taking prompts for the Frye Twins and their sibling relationship.
Some of these fics will have a corresponding gif set
I am always taking prompts and I hope you enjoy them :)
….
Ethan sighed wearily from his seat on his armchair. Earlier that day, he had been on a mission…which had led to the death of several innocent civilians. Due to his involvement, Ethan was now being investigated by the council with the possibility of suspension or expulsion from the Creed in his future.
He glanced at the clock….half ten…the twins should be asleep by now. Slowly getting to his feet, Ethan strode up the stairs and entered the twin's room. At first glance, the pair seemed to be asleep, so Ethan decided to leave.
However, before he could leave the room, he heard the mattresses creak and Evie speak up. "Daddy?"
Ethan span around to see both Evie and Jacob sitting up in bed, "Now why aren't you two sleeping?!" he scolded.
"Don't be sad Daddy…" begged Evie, "…it wasn't your fault!"
"Yeah!" agreed Jacob, "It was the bad guys you were chasing!"
Sighing, Ethan knelt to the ground. "Children…we may need to be prepared for the chance that I won't be in the Creed for much longer. This is a very serious case and…we may not have enough to continue living here with all your friends, if I'm forced to leave."
Evie twisted around to grab something on her bedside table as Jacob clambered onto her bed. "Me and Jacob have been thinking…" she began, pulling a chest onto her lap.
"…it's our treasure chest." Continued Jacob.
"These things are enormously valuable!" Evie pulled something out of the chest, and handed it to her Father, "Look! An ivory tusk!"
Ethan took the item, quickly seeing it as a broken piece of garden tool.
"That's worth a lot of money right?" asked Jacob, as Evie pulled out some jewellery
"Some diamonds and…" she then pulled out a gear, "….a golden crown!"
Jacob then took that and placed it on his head, "It's probably King Arthur's!"
Ethan smiled gently at the twins, taking the gear off his son as Evie continued. "Of course, it'll probably need cleaning up a little…take them Daddy. Therefore if we need money, you can sell them!"
"And don't worry about us moving…" stated Jacob, trying to be serious, "…we can always visit right?"
Ethan was stunned into silence. It took him a few seconds to respond, smiling at his twins. "Thank you…thank you very much. All these wonderful things….are very precious. But, I'm afraid other people may not appreciate them…"
Evie scowled at this, "Why not Daddy?!"
Grinning, Ethan leant in close. "Because other people don't see things the way you do…" he lifted Jacob off Evie's bed and placed him on his own, "…Come on children, it's time to sleep. And don't you worry, things will be alright somehow."
Tucking Jacob and Evie in, Ethan reached over to his son's bedside table and gently switched on Cecily's old music box, that contained the lullaby she always swore she would sing to her children…that responsibility was left to Ethan now.
"A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows over Lullaby bay
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
Waiting, to sail your worries away
It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the key
The winds of night, so softly are sighing
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
Wave goodbye, to cares of the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from Lullaby Bay
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
Wave goodbye, to cares of the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from Lullaby Bay."
As the music dwindled off, and seeing that his children were fast asleep, Ethan crept out of the door and went to wait by the phone was again.
