"Madison you traitors bitch! I should toss you in front of the royal family." Aphrodite growled squeezing her neck harder.
"Wait! Let me explain myself." She choked out. Aphrodite let her go and she hit the ground hard and tried to suck in precious air. "Explain yourself!" Aphrodite yelled furiously.
"I came to help." Madison wheezed out.
"bull shit."
"I'm not lying. We were stakeout in the strip hoping to catch Coco and Whis. We didn't see Whis but we saw Cus so we followed." Madison finally sucked in a good amount of air and use the wall to stand up.
"When we got to the mountain edge, I beg them to let me come alone. I knew your template was up here...I didn't want my sister to get hurt."
"Why care now? You didn't care when you ran away to the devil."
"They plan to kill the entire council and the angels." Madison blurted out.
"How?" A tight voice hissed out. Bo came around the corner out of hiding and glared at the sin. "The devil's son has an informant who's been giving valuable information. The informant found out when an angel and a sin battle it can upset the balance of the universe. We all know the consequences for upsetting the multiverses."
"You will tell them everything. But first, that pomegranate seed has to come out."
"I-I'll do it. I'll do anything to leave this life behind."
"Wait you're aware of what will happen right?"
"Yes. Please." It only took a second for Bo to rip the seed from the woman's chest. She aged before their eyes and what sat before them was an old lady. She tried to stand but was more brittle than she looks.
"I'll help her." Aphrodite offered. Bo nods and they made their way to the couple's temporary bedroom.
~Whis pov~
Coco was still out like a light when I step into the bathroom. I'm surprised to see her up, we'll him. I will admit. Coco made a handsome man. (He still had some feminine features but there's nothing feminine about what he's packing. I'm ashamed to admit that coco could destroy me.) He finally notices my presence and I ignored him. I kept drying my hair and continue to ignore Coco even when he wraps his arms around my waist and press his naked body against me.
"So, I thought about it while you were showering. I think I'm a top and you're a bottom." I scoff and looked at Coco in the mirror reflection.
"It doesn't matter what form you're in I'm always top."
"Is That's what you think?" He asked nuzzling my shoulder. "Yes!" I felt extremely uncomfortable watching a grin spread across his lips. "We'll see if you believe that in a few minutes."
"Coco no!"
"Coco yes!" I yelped from being picked up. (He picked me up like I weigh nothing.) Coco place me down gently on our shared bed and I honestly felt a bit vulnerable. "You've honestly never been a bottom?"
"N-no."
"Don't worry, I'll go slow."
~Honey pov~
I groan in relief as Daichi's hands ran across my pregnant stomach. We were ready to step out and have some fun at the new moon festival but Merus caused an upset in my body. So now here we are sitting on the floor. He's behind me rubbing my naked stomach while my head is laid heavy on his shoulder.
He's always had a way of soothing our rowdy babies. He was speaking in god and Merus was calming down. Our kids only act like this when they are ready to pop into the world.
"He's not ready. He's just restless." I sigh in relief and press a small kiss on my husband's cheek. He's so good at handling my maturity needs. It's part of the reason I kept saying yes to more kids.
"Why don't you take a quick nap, Honey? My eyes didn't feel heavy until he suggested a nap. I fell asleep in his comfortable embrace.
~Daichi pov~
I pulled the blankets up to make sure she still had her modesty. I did abruptly pull her dress skirt up. Merus cause an upset that hurt Honey and it worried me. Powerful babies are not easy to carry.
I felt a small nudge against my hand as if Merus was apologizing. "You're incredibly smart Merus. Be gentle with your mom." I sat in silence while watching Honey's progress. Her weight leaning on me didn't bother me.
I've sat overnight when Cus couldn't decide if she wanted to be born. It was a false alarm and she made us wait three more months. Funny enough she came into the world on her own. She's lucky her grandmother caught her.
Bo knocks softly and stuck her head in. I could tell from the look on her face something was wrong. "What's wrong Bo?" I asked softly. She assets the scene before speaking.
"Promise to keep your temper in check?" I nod and she opens the door wider and felt my temper flare. This upset Merus and cause Honey to groan in her sleep. "You bring a sin in my presence?" I hiss feeling my body tense. "I'm sorry sir, but you're going to want to hear this. Please be mindful of your wife." Aphrodite sat the fragile sin in front of me and I can feel my rage bubble in me.
Rage, I thought I abandoned the day I broke the universe and my wife had to fix it while grieving. "You're the reason my wife still cries when no one is watching."
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry?" A cold chuckle escaped before I bark at her. "Sorry doesn't bring back our kids!"
"Sir your wife!" Bo warned. I loosen my tight grip and Honey relaxed in my hold.
~no pov~
It took Dashi a minute but he calmed down. "Why are you here?" He hisses softly. "I want to help." Dashi snort in disbelief.
"I'm serious... Your father is keen on doing some major damage."
"...and my brother?"
"He's too loyal but works in the shadows just like your father." Uncomfortable silence permitted the air before she spoke again. "Do you trust your wife?"
"Without a doubt."
"Do you know why she picked the last turvixin?"
"No."
"Has she told you the turvixin background?" Dashi raised an eyebrow. "What are you getting at?" Bo flinches and slowly tried to make herself look small.
"The devil knows her real heritage and wants to kill the first possible queen of all." Aphrodite gasp and Dashi clinch his jaw hard before looking over to Bo.
"...Bo." Dashi hiss watching her wither in on herself. "Bo!"
"Ok! I know her real heritage!"
"Does my wife know!?"
"Your wife is an innocent in all of this I promise."
"Explain!" "Honey has come close to the truth two times and your mother didn't want the truth to come out. So anytime she comes close your mother plucks those memories."
"What's the truth, Bo!?" Madison chuckled "even if she made you promise not to say anything to her son. I know you couldn't resist. You must have told someone else lust."
Bo glared at Madison. "Don't call me that." She bit her lip before looking at Dashi. "Leo. I told Leo."
"Man, I feel bad for those four in the mountain. They're missing the whole vacation." Sour said while watching Clover and Vados play videogames.
"Sweetheart I'm sad just like you but you're hogging it. Puff and pass let's keep this rotation going. Don't ruin the vibe with sad shit." Sweet and Sour bust out laughing and Lime's eyes widen at Creams behavior.
"Whoa, Cream maybe you should be mellowed out more often," Clover said with a giggle never taking her eyes off the game. "Man, I'm hungry" Marcarita complain snuggling closer to Lime. The door for their hotel suite opens and everyone stops moving. Leo step in and immediately felt a headache coming on.
"So, this is why you all sent a text for random food." He grumbled pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Yay! Leo's here with all the food!" Marcarita said happily shaking Lime. Leo places everything on the counter and looked at everyone disappointed. "I see half of you. Where are the others?"
Lime raised his hand. "You don't need to raise your hand Lime."
Lime put his hand down unphased by the last thing Leo said. "Still at the moon festival. If you want to be worried about someone it should be them. That festival got freaky when we left." Clover paused the game and turn to Leo. "He's not joking, it was getting too touchy-feely. The others thought we were joking so they stayed."
Leo sigh and reaches for his cellphone which started vibrating in his back pocket. "Great, half of you is high and the other half is off at some freaky festival. Talk to me."
"Leo...come to the mountain."
"Right away." He hung up and turn back to the high group. "Don't leave this hotel until morning."
"Wasn't planning on it," Vados replied focused on her pizza slice she pulled out. "Which one of you put the hot sauce in the cabinet? It says to refrigerate after opening." Marcarita complained, "We don't know dude." Cream said with a snort.
"See this is how folks get pregnant," Marcarita replied with a pout. Clover sputtered before laughing and looking back a Marcarita "w-what" she asked with a wheeze. "Sweetheart I'm going to kick you from the rotation for your sake," Lime said quietly with a worried look on his face.
Leo shook his head and left.
~Honey pov~
That was amazing. He opened himself up to me and trust me with something so intimate. I ran my hand through his hair and heard his happy sigh. He places a soft kiss on my collar bone and I place a small peck on his forehead.
"Whis?" He didn't answer, only looked at me with a dreamy smile. "Where do you want to honeymoon?" His dreamy smile quickly turned to an excited smile.
"Addy village"
"Where your mother comes from?"
"Yes,"
"wow, I'm kind of shock you said that. I honestly thought you were going to say food tour."
"Oh, I'm saving that for another anniversary." I giggled.
"But we already do that baby."
"I'm not taking you to simple planets silly. I'm taking you to restricted planets."
"Restricted like dangerous?"
"No, they are restricted because high-class people own them and you have to send requests to get in."
"Wow. Fancy. I hope the food is good." He laid his head back onto my breast and I resume running my fingers through his silky locks. "Hey Whis?"
"Yes?"
"Please don't go to sleep and leave me by myself. please?" My voice cracked at the end and I sound so broken. I don't know where this sudden need to express myself came from. I guess I'm feeling comfortable. Like someone who took two shots of hard liquor.
I guess my weird outburst was enough to ruin the mood. Whis sat up and looked at me concern.
~Whis pov~
This is truly the first time I've seen her look so vulnerable. I mean since being in the mountain I've witness Coco go through a range of emotions. I even witness her look at me with white-hot rage in her eyes.
When she yelled at me, I felt like shit but I realized that she never truly told Aphrodite or me why she was truly upset. I hurt her feelings but I knew it had to be something deeper. "You are terrified at the thought of losing me. Is that why you were crying in Vados bedroom?" She looked ashamed by slowly nods. "Coco it's my."
I stop myself from finishing that sentence. I felt myself going into that it's my responsibility spill. An argument brew inside my mind. (This is your future wife and the mother to your kids. Show some compassion. You'll lose her if you tell her that bullshit. Even dad puts mom before his duties and he's a hard nut to crack. Stop treating her like a destroyer and treat her better, that was what the whole talk was about.)
"Coco I will try my best not to leave you behind. I understand now how much this bothers you and I know now to try to approach how you feel carefully."
"Y-you're crying." She rubs her thumb against my cheek wiping away the tear I didn't know escape.
"ha, well it looks like I was," I mumbled before laying my head back on Coco's breast. "I love you, Coco." She gasps softly and I could hear her heart rate pick up.
"I love you too Whis." A silent second went by before she went back to occupying herself with my hair. She's good at this. It's kind of putting me into a meditative state.
~no pov~
Leo entered the room and could feel the range of emotions. The one that stood out most was Bo's sadness. He didn't like her being sad. "Leo,"
"Yes sir?"
"The sin of pride. It's been a very long time."
Leo felt a sneer pull on his lip "Madison, you look like shit."
"Still telling the truth. That's why she picked you. That or you two are still in love." Leo felt a smart remark on the tip of his tongue.
"Leo, I need to know the truth."
"About?"
"Coco," he sighs and sat down next to Bo. He opens his mouth and felt the truth spilled out of his mouth.
"The next Omni King has to be born somehow sir. The turvixin people were known for many things. One thing that was never spoken about was their ability to breed powerful beings no matter who they cross breed with." Dashi swallowed and spoke.
"How is Coco connect to this?" Leo bit his tongue for a second grounding himself. "Zeno and Coco are siblings."
"Impossible. The last Omni king was in love with the first queen."
"You're right but wrong. The first queen died and the omni king fell into a depressive episode. the multiverse was dying because of his sadness and Coco's mother. Well, how Clover says it. Took one for the team and laid with the King."
"But didn't he know that was the second queen?"
"Grief can make a man do crazy things. That's probably why he laid with her a second time before he passed on."
"But she looks nothing like the king," Daichi argued.
"Your mother is happy about that. It makes it easier to hide her. Do you know what chaos would break out if a possible ruler was a woman who could birth any powerful being? But the story Honey told Coco about her parents."
"Is a false story feed to her memories by your mother." Dashi looked at his sleeping wife worried.
"My mother is the reason why my wife can't fully heal from her grief."
"It would seem so sir. Every time she takes memory from her, that time she spent grieving is lost in the middle." Bo and Leo looked at each other worried before looking back at Dashi.
"We think Honey remembers something but tries her best to play lost," Bo admits. "What?" "Think about it this way sir. If your wife shows any signs of remembering. Your mother will not hesitate to erase everyone's memory. To make sure no one knows anything."
"Honey doesn't want that to happen. She would feel guilty about your kids losing their partner." Dashi said softly realizing his poor wife's struggle.
"What do you want to do? Madison asked cutting the moment.
"You're staying with us," Dashi said with authority in his voice. "I can't! They'll find me and destroy me." Madison said panicking.
"Aphrodite,"
"yes?"
"Do you mind if I use your temple?" Aphrodite nods with no hesitation. "Great, take Eros and Madison with you to my family's private realm."
"You are granting me mercy!?" Madison cried out in disbelief. "Yes, but only after you tell me everything."
"O-of course!"
"Once you've told me everything, you'll write a letter telling your comrades you've abandoned them."
"Bo, Leo, round up my kids and their partners. Bring them to the temple in the morning. We are going to pretend we know nothing."
"So, your wife and daughters will still go to their appointment in the morning?"
"Yes, and I'll join. Honey isn't exactly stable at the moment."
~Honey pov~
The next morning, I was up bright and early with Whis. He wouldn't let go of me until he proved to me, he loved me. Once we finished with that morning exercise, we got up to do some real exercise.
Something must be up because Bo wouldn't let us spare outside so we did basic martial arts in the temple's dojo. (well, I do need to work on control.) We were going at it for a while until he flips me over his shoulder and onto my back. Hard.
"Ow," I wheezed out. Whis was immediately worried "Are you ok!?" he asked bending down to my level.
"Yeah, got distracted," I replied laying there. "I feel people coming up the mountain to the temple. I think it's everyone." Whis held his hand out and I took it. "Oh my, even my senses are dampened on the mountain, you're able to feel people." A recognizable voice said out of nowhere.
I felt a light chuckle leave my throat. "Well, I'm ashamed to say it took me almost two days to figure it out."
"Oh, hush it takes a while for anyone. By the way, good morning." The grand priestess greeted. "Good morning." Whis and I replied. She was doing great hiding her pregnancy. She had on a cute cloak dress that hid her belly. I can tell she's ready soon because of how strong the smell of baby breath has gotten.
"Your father and I have come to a decision. We decided you've learned your lesson and your punishment is over. But we think it's best if Coco stayed in her male form until the day is over or she's in a private setting." I guess confusion was strong on both of our faces. "I'm only suggesting." The grand priestess said with a close eyed smile. This kicked off every red flag in my mind. (She doesn't suggest anything more like, do this because it's good for you. Her requests have never harmed me. Except for one time.)
I nod and didn't question her. "I hope you don't mind I'll be going with you ladies."
"Not at all. I value your opinion, sir."
"No need for the formalities Coco, you can call me dad." I nod excitedly and he chuckled before the two left us. "Hey Whis?"
"Yes, Coco?"
"I'm scared," I can see confusion grow on his face. "Why?"
"Your mother and Cus were already acting weird around me. I hate to see how everyone else reacts." Whis, sigh and took my hand in his. "If it gets too much you can always hide under. I mean besides me." I looked at him and smirk. "Are you trying to be top again?" I asked with a smirk
"I might be."
"Shame, you look so perfect under me." His blush reaches his ears and he playfully pushes me away. "Don't say that out loud." I giggled "Don't worry. I'll be our little secret."
After a very frisky shower. I got dressed in some of the clothes Cus picked out and looked at myself in the mirror. "I let Cus pick this out," I mumbled to myself. "What's wrong?" This is going to be embarrassing to ask after learning how to shop and dress. "C-can you dress me?" I ask while nervously playing with my fingers.
"Everything feels weird, doesn't it?" I sigh in relief. "yes. Is that weird?"
"Not at all. I remember the first time Vados body turn her male. She still wore female clothes because she claimed that men's clothes felt gross."
"Oh, thank stars. Men's underwear feels weird, so I went commando." I watch Whis get to work on an outfit while I stripped down and put on some panties. Weird fit but who cares I'm comfortable. "You're lucky your male body is feminine." I quickly got dressed and felt ten times better. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. Whis chuckled behind me so I looked at him. "What's so funny?"
"I didn't know I would turn you into a trap."
"Trap?"
"I'm a little lost. They did what to you at the festival?" Clover asked not understanding.
"This is a vacation spot that plays fast and loose with the gods they pray to," Cinnamon informed.
"OK and?"
"It's kind of unsettling that they think of the counsel as God's and Goddesses."
"It was unsettling to see myself on a slot machine," Clover said thinking about it. "It was unsettling until you hit jackpot." Vados sassy. "You're being pretty sassy for someone I gave all my winnings to."
"Ok we can all agree this Is all unsettling but you're not answering my question. What did they do to you guys?" Lime asked.
"First they feed us these water chestnuts. Which we later found out is some type of item they use to pray to gods."
"Then they tried to sleep with us." Mint blurted out.
Clover snorted "I knew was a freaky festival!" The limo stops and we all got out. (My senses are damp here.) "So, they were here with Aphrodite this whole time."
"Mother and father know a lot of people." Mojito replies back to Cukatail.
"Wait you mean Aphrodite the love goddess?" Clover asked
"God." The angelic siblings quickly corrected. "Is that one of those things humans twisted until he was a she?" Lime asked.
"Kind of, you forgot something important," Marcarita said while patting her skirt to knock off and invisible dirt. "G-gods, goddesses, and powerful beings don't have to conform to gender norms." Cream stuttered out.
~Clover pov~
(how did I forget about that?)
"I'm glad to see you're all in your clear mind this morning," Leo spoke cutting my thoughts short. "Follow me, breakfast is served."
(Somethings watching us. The animals are restless and somethings feel gross.) I looked at any of my comrades we've been around each other long enough to know each other's tells. (When none of us can speak we know to look at one person to give us a signal.) Cream was a naturally fidgety person but not everything she does is out of nerves. Coco came up with this secondary check system while we were training with the grand priestess.
Playing with fingers everything's good. Playing with hair everything is not ok. (Shit.) "Your mother, the grand priestess has a surprise for you all," Leo announced softly.
Leo opens the door and the smell of food causes my stomach to rumble. The only people in the dining hall were the grand priest, priestess, Whis, Coco, a baby, Cus, and Mochi. Wait what a baby!? Coco was holding the baby and Cus was gushing over it.
"W-what are we missing?" I asked stunned. Coco hands the baby over to Cus who happily ran over to her siblings. "Look at what mom and dad made!" She whispered yelled trying not to wake the baby. I felt a sigh of relief sweep through the dining hall. "Oh, thank the stars," I whispered out. "I know right, for a second I thought Coco had a baby." Cream replied. We sat down and ate. The siblings seem to be excited about another sibling. (Angels must really like babies?)
"So how did that happen," I asked Coco quietly. "We were walking to the dining hall together when pop, a baby appeared."
"Hmm. Hey Coco?"
"Yes"
"where did your breast go?"
