Cye Mouri jerked up in his bed sweat beading down his young forehead as he jerked his head to the side to make sure that his blonde lover indeed was still breathing next to him. He sighed in relief as he noticed the soft rising and falling of his lover's chest. A dream. It had all been a dream. And an amazingly vivid one. Yet, what had possessed him to have such a dream? Such a…. historically accurate dream? He shook his head as if trying to ride himself of the detestable nightmare.
"Love, are you alright?" Cye glanced up and smiled as he realized who the speaker was. Cye smiled.
"I'm sorry Love if I scared you. I just had a bad dream, that's all." Sage yawned softly as he sat up, Cye following in his older lover's footsteps. Sage smiled and draped a limber arm over Cye's shoulders, pulling the tawny boy to him.
"Well, why don't you tell me about it? It might make you feel better?" Sage asked hopefully as Cye smiled.
"Well, it was odd. It seemed like it happened a long, long time ago. But you and I were there. And you see, I was a gypsy, and you were a lord that tended to animals. And we fell in love but Dais ended up turning us in to your father because he liked you too. So you and I ran away, and ended up meeting Sekhmet and Kento and they let us stay with them. But them your father found us, and he was going to kill me and un-taint you because you were homosexual, so he tried to kill me, but then you leapt ahead and took the blow. And when he demanded why, you said because of love. But then you died, so I took your father's sword and killed myself because I couldn't bare the thought of being without you…" Sage looked on, trying not to let a smile appear on his face.
"Cye, Love, I think you've read Romeo and Juliet one too many times." Cye placed his small hands on his hips and glared at his lover.
"I have not! And I've only read it four times. But that's besides the point! It was real! I just know it is." Sage sighed, planting a soft, butterfly kiss on his lover's forehead.
"Cye, it was just a dream. Nothing important. A figment of your imagination on the fritz. That's all." Cye's lips formed into a pout of protest.
"Was not…" He muttered as Sage laughed, pulling Cye closer as he took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of his lover.
"Well, I think this dream of yours is silly, and that you should relax. It's nothing, really."
"I still think that it was our pasts…" Sage sighed at his persistent boyfriend.
"Ok Cye, think what you want, but I still think that you should just drop it." Sage stated as Cye muttered in annoyance, crawling out of the bed as he walked over to his dresser, grabbed a set of clothes before retreating to the bathroom. He returned a couple of minutes later, smiling at Sage.
"It was our pasts." He stated curtly before sauntering out of the room, laughing. Heading to the kitchen, he smiled when he realized that for once, he was not the first awake, and Cale stood, cooking food in the kitchen.
"Why are you cooking, you don't even eat." Cye questioned as Cale blinked.
"Well, Sekhmet does." He said, scrambling up a batch of eggs.
"Does he even eat normal food?" Cye asked, leaning over the pan, watching Cale cook. Sighing, Cale swatted at Cye with the spatula.
"Yes, he eats normal food. In fact, he loves eggs. I don't know why, but he does. And I'm sure that he doesn't want your hair in his precious eggs, alright?" Cye nodded, as he at down at the table. There was nothing to do around here with Sage still in bed, the lazy bum… The again, he'd done a lot of shifting yesterday just to keep in skill. So maybe he did have a reason to still be in bed… It wasn't like Rowen was up, or Ryo… Or Kento for that matter.
"Oh, Cye, I'm going to visit my father later tonight, would you and Sage like to come? Sekhmet is…" He muttered as Cye smiled.
"I'd love to! And I'm sure that I can drag Sage with me." He grinned brightly as the vampire smiled. He liked the young boy, he was very nice and polite. Yawning, Sage stepped out of the room he shared with Cye, lacking proper clothes. He was too lazy to get dressed… it was his off day anyway…
"Sage, we're going to go meet Cale's parents today! Isn't that so nice?" Cye exclaimed pleasantly as Sage moaned and fell onto the couch.
"Cye, I don't wanna go anywhere… It's our first off day in weeks…" Cye walked over and smacked Sage playfully on the arm.
"Sage, come on, it's only nice that we go." Cye glanced up and smiled at Cale.
"Don't worry, I'll get him to come." He stated in reassurance as he began to sing off-key in Sage's mind.
"Ack! Stop it! I'll come already… you annoying little brat…." He muttered as Cye grinned.
"I'm a brat but you love me!" He stated in triumph as Sage grumbled, rising to his feet as he walked over to the room to change, ignoring Rowen's impersonation of a whip cracking. Giving Rowen his best "I will hurt you so bad" glare, Sage grabbed some clothes and headed for the shower.
~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
"What'd you cook?" Sekhmet asked as he leaned over Cale's shoulder, resting his chin next to the man's face. Cale smiled as Sekhmet grinned.
"Eggs!" He exclaimed, wrapping his arms around Cale's waist.
"I love your eggs…" He cried out, as Cale laughed, letting Sekhmet kiss his cheek.
"Well, they're not done yet, you'll just have to wait a little bit."
"But… but…"
"Just sit down and I'll bring them to you in a minute, alright?" Nodding, Sekhmet scampered over to the table, awaiting his meal as Cye laughed.
"You two are so cute!" He exclaimed with childish glee, as Dais walked out, rolling his eyes. Cye glanced at him, placing his hands on his hip.
"Well aren't we Mr. Negativity?" Cye scolded as Dais rolled his eyes.
"Whatever…" He moped, sitting in a chair and letting his head lie on the table.
"So, what's wrong?" Ryo asked, walking out of his room and glancing at the depressed vampire.
"Well, spit it out." He demanded as Dais glared at him.
"I think Mia's seeing someone else…" He muttered as Ryo burst out laughing.
"Wouldn't surprise me, seeing as she's getting older and you aren't. It only makes sense, it wouldn't work out between you two." Dais glowered at his fellow vampire.
"Sekhmet and Cale are together, and quite happy." Dais pointed out as both looked up. Ryo sighed.
"Yeah, but they're head over heal in love." Ryo countered as Dais grumbled in annoyance.
"Fine, you're right… I'm just annoyed, all right?" Ryo nodded.
"Understood. So what was this about going out to see Cale's parents?" He asked, having been eavesdropping for quite awhile. Cale smiled as Sekhmet glanced up in confusion.
"It's my father's birthday, so I'm going to visit him, and Cye and Sage are coming as well." Ryo gave Sage an odd look, as the blonde merely shrugged in response. Cye's making me. He mouthed as Ryo nodded in understanding.
"And of course, Sekhy, that does mean you're coming as well." Rowen snorted from his position in the doorway of his room. Cale glared at him, as he continued laughing.
"Sekhy?" He asked as Cale threw the spatula at him, watching as it nailed Rowen in between the eyes, and the warlock stumbled backwards.
"Hey!" Rowen cried out as the others laughed at the spell caster's misfortune.
"Anyways, here are your eggs, and I really would appreciate if you came along Sekhmet." Cale muttered, running his hand through the deep jade locks, trying to persuade Sekhmet to come along.
"Sure why not? Unless they're going to be scared of me."
"Let them be. It doesn't matter to me anymore." Cale murmured as Sekhmet grinned in between bites.
"Love you too!" He exclaimed, wrapping an arm Around Cale, pulling the vampire on his lap as he continued eating.
"See, Sage? Why can't you be like that?" Cye grumbled as Sage laughed, walking into the room to sit on the couch, pulling Cye onto him.
"There, make you feel better?" Cye grumbled about him having to tell Sage to hold him, before snuggling up against him.
"Good enough." He muttered as Rowen whimpered.
"Aww, I want someone!" He mumbled as Ryo laughed, pulling the warlock on top of him as they both burst out laughing. Kento walked into the room and shook his head.
"I don't wanna know." He grumbled, walking over to the refrigerator as he grabbed the carton of milk, pouring it into a dirty glass and drinking it.
"Eww, that's dirty!" Rowen stated in disgust from his spot on Ryo's lap as Kento shrugged.
"I'm a werewolf, I could care less." Rowen shrugged.
"Makes sense…" He muttered as he climbed off of Ryo's lap.
"I'm hungry too…" he muttered, open the refrigerator as he stuck his head in, searching for something edible.
"We really need some food… there's not enough people that actually eat in this house…" He mumbled, pulling out a piece of a moldy sandwich as he gasped in disgust, tossing it in to the sink.
"That's just gross." He crinkled his nose up as he delved deeper into the depths of moldy and rotting food.
"Eww, how old is this?" he asked, holding up a pan with a spoon in it. Wedging out the spoon, the entire contents came out as well.
"Ewww! Nasty!" He cried out, throwing the thing into the sink along with the sandwich.
"Ok, that's it. This is too gross. I'll just have to make myself some food!" Wiggling his finger, he attempted to make a plate of beef, instead making a cow appear in the kitchen.
"Umm, I didn't do it?" He grinned innocently as the cow mooed.
"Rowen, how the hell did you create a cow?" Sage demanded as his best friend shrugged.
"I don't know! Stupid cow…" He growled as the cow glared at him, preparing to charge.
"Ahh! It's going to hurt me!" He screamed, leaping behind the couch. Sage hung his head as he looked behind the couch at Rowen.
"You know, you're going to have to send the cow back to where it came from." Rowen sighed, standing up as he again cast a spell, watching as the cow disappeared.
"Bye bye evil Mr. Cow!" He cheered, as his stomach growled.
"Darn, still no food. Sage, can I have my allowance, please?" He whimpered.
"You don't get allowance." Sage stated as Rowen shrugged.
"I cleaned out the fridge." He pointed out as Sage sighed, pulling out a crumpled twenty as he handed it to Rowen.
"There. Now, get the rest of us something as well."
"Yay! Thank you Sagey!" Rowen exclaimed as he hugged the blonde, along with Cye, and raced out of the house.
"That boy has issues…" Ryo muttered as Sage nodded slowly in agreement, shaking his head as he buried his face in Cye's back.
~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
Twenty minutes later and fifteen hash browns more, the group sat around the living room, Cye still on Sage's lap, all eating hash browns.
"Well, seeing as the four of us are done, why don't we get going?" Cale suggested as the other three that were accompanying him nodded in agreement. Rising to their feet, Cale led the way as they retreated out the door, leaving the rest to clean the house up after breakfast… Or whatever you could call the meal they'd been indulging in. After a thirty-minute walk, they arrived at a well sized home. Smiling at Sekhmet and taking the reptilian's hand in his own, Cale knocked at the door. Cye watched eagerly as the door opened and a fierce looking man with deep onyx hair and relatively annoyed blue eyes glanced down at them. Cye blinked at the spitting image of Sage and Cale's father in his dream. Feeling woozy in shock, Cye promptly fainted in Sage's arms.
