It had only been a few hours since everyone had gone to sleep. X's room ended up being next to Zero's room. X was awoken by a crash, angry German, and several thuds against a wall. The brunette quickly got up and rushed to Zero's room. Light and Nikole had heard the ruckus too. Light followed X. 'What's going on?' X shook his head. 'It came from Zero's room. It didn't sound good at all.'
When Light and X got to Zero's room, Light couldn't believe his eyes. There was Albert Wily, slamming his own son against the wall by his neck. Zero was almost lifeless in his hand. 'Pathetic little runt. Go back to the Underworld.' Albert said, letting Zero drop to the floor. Zero weakly rubbed his throat as his father showed large black claws. The blond struggled to move as Wily came closer, ready to stab his own offspring.
As Wily's claws began to charge down, X quickly threw himself towards the blond, gathering him in his arms. "Come back here with my son, you filthy human!" Wily hissed, now trying to strike X. He backed down when he was face to face with Light. "Filthy, eh? Long time, no see...Wily. I never thought you would have the gall to attempt to murder your own son and even go after mine." Light said in obvious disappointment, tapping his foot. "Light? Warum bist du hier? Why are you here?" Wily asked. Light shook his head. "Let's just say that your wife has a better sense of hospitality than you ever did...and far more than how you treat your son."
In Wily's confusion, a shadowy hand reached out of the floor and slammed him down into the floor. Nikole emerged from the floor in shadows, but something was different. Her eyes were their usual blue, but with glowing red slits and on her back were a pair of black angel wings. These details became more clear as she regained her form. "You fucking bastard. You're the one going to Hell. I'll drag you straight to Satan himself!" Wily changed to shadows and traveled out of the house quickly with Nikole following close behind in her fury.
Light and X looked at each other, realizing Nikole had lied to them about what she and Zero were. For the time being, Zero's health was much more important. Both X and his father looked at the demonic child. "You poor thing...Its a shame that you ended up with such a cruel father." Light sighed, petting Zero's blond hair. X hugged Zero gently. "You deserve so much better than him. We'll take care of you while your mom teaches him a lesson." He and Light slowly walked Zero to the den. Zero held onto X tightly, already recognizing X's scent. "X...X..." X kept Zero close. "Its ok. We're taking you to the den so we can treat your back and throat." Light turned the light switch on before looking in the ice box for some ice to bag up and put on Zero's bruised back. "Any chance you have bandages anywhere?" Zero nodded. "In the bathroom...under the sink...in a white basket...in a first aid kit..." Light went to get the first aid kit as X and Zero settled on the couch. Zero laid slowly across X's lap, snuggling X's boxers. He quietly sniffed X's boxers, giving his tip a gentle kiss. "You're sniffing a lot down there." X commented. Zero slowly looked up. "To be completely sure...I know your scent...so I can always find you." The brunette looked down at him. "Did you do that with Iris too?" Zero shook his head. "That relationship was so forced...I have a better feeling...about this between you and me...You are letting me be me...You are far more respecting of me...You're already handling me gently and kindly...so what we have feels more comfortable...if that makes sense." X smiled. "I get it. She tried to make you what she wanted you to be." Zero nodded deeply. X pulled Zero up a little gently. "I want the natural Zero. How he always is." Zero grinned. "That is what you shall get...Nothing more...Nothing less...Though if I become possessive of you...I will already be yours."
Light came back from the bathroom with the first aid kit Zero directed him to, passing it to X. X took the first aid kit, opening it up. He started with Zero's throat first, treating it carefully. The hydrogen peroxide burned Zero's throat, but keeping his attention on X made it more bearable. X then wrapped thin white bandages around Zero's neck, covering the injury. Light came back to the den just as X was working on Zero's bruised back. Zero cringed from the burn of the peroxide, though snuggling against X made the pain easier. Once X had the bruises bandaged, Light put a small ice bag on each. Zero kept tight against X, starting to relax a little.
Nikole finally came back inside, panting deeply. She sighed in relief when she saw Zero being tended to as she came closer to the other three. Zero reached his head up and kissed his mother's cheek. Nikole kissed Zero's cheek back before giving X a kiss on the cheek too. Light smiled at the sight, seeing how well everyone was getting along. One of Nikole's soft wings pulled Light into the group, giving him kisses too. Light blushes for the kisses from Nikole and the boys. Nikole slowly pulled away, sitting in the chair next to the boys. "I'm sorry I lied to you before. I'm not a human. Zero's not just half demon. I had to say that to protect myself and my son." X looked at Nikole. "Are you a demon too?" Nikole shrugged. "This line is blurry, but to some I would be a demon, to others I would be a fallen angel. That makes Zero a Nephilim. Half angel, half demon." X looked to Zero, who looked back at him. Zero snuggled X's side gently before closing his eyes.
Light could see Nikole starting to nod off as she started to talk to Zero. Nikole's eyelid were getting heavy. "Zero, rufen Sie ihren Chef an...und sagen sie ihr dass sie zu hause bleiben müssen." Zero nodded gently. "Klar, Mama." Once Nikole's eyes were closed, Light covered her in a blanket and carefully took off her glasses, setting them aside on the table for her. Zero could feel X nodding off and starting to lean. He used one of his wings as a cushion for him while pushing and fluffing a pillow for him. He smiled when he heard drop beside him, snuggling his chest before nodding off to sleep with him. Light turned off the light switch before settling to sleep on the other couch.
