WolstenKids' time! ;)
Notes:Hello, this part is so full of fluff that even 'these' Dom and Matt glared at me and grimaced in disgust, but I don't care, I'm the author, I'm in contwol *insert evil laughter*
I know they would gladly jump straight to the kinky stuff, but it's not going to happen, not now ;P
As always, this is not beta-ed (I'd like some help, but I don't think anyone is willing to catch up with the too many chapters of this story (or of 'Change everything you are' ) ... so I'll be beta-less , I swear I tried my best , but my English is bad :/ , at least that's what I've been told *apologizes once more*
Huge thanks to anyone who's still sticking around ^^
Chapter XXVI I : Deliver your wildest fantasyTime seems to fly and almost without everyone noticing that, day after day it's already December.
A month that, for reasons, makes Chris agitate pretty much, also because Dom doesn't seem to make things easier for him.
"Hey, big guy, Tomorrow you're going to turn thirty-two years old. Can you believe it? You'll always be thirty-two years old, just like me!" The blond trots around him like a child, all cheerful.
Speaking of children, in honour of the soon to be celebrated guy, also the whole Wolstenfamily joined their Australian tour leg, more precisely in Brisbane.
Well, only Buster has stayed with his lovely grandparents, because he's still too young to travel.
"Geez, Dom, first things first. Let me turn thirty-two years old, at least!" Chris snorts, all nervous. "And, even most important, first it's Matt who has to complete his first year as a vampire, am I right?"
"Sure, but…" The drummer grumbles.
"So leave me alone until that day come!" His human friend retorts, leaving.
Dominic reaches his mate, who is in a room with the door left open, all engrossed playing with Chris and Kelly's kids, a wonderful proof of the trust the two humans still have in him and Dom.
Before getting in the room, Dominic decides to enjoy that moment a little more.
He can see Matthew on all fours, with Frankie straddling him, while the singer waves a noisy toy in front of a chuckling Ernie.
To complete the lovely picture, there's Ava-Jo covering his hair with hair clips of every shape and colour and Alfie splashing his face with a water gun.
"Come in, Dom, so you can help me!" Matt exhort s him, while he laughs madly after the umpteenth splash.
The kids are rather astonished when they see the drummer coming in and closing the door.
"Uncle Matt, how did you know uncle Dom was there?" Ava wonders, in awe.
"Yep, you weren't supposed to see him, you had your back turned at him and there's no mirror here to have a view of the threshold!" Alfie points out, acting like a detective.
"Well, kids, let's say that I always know where uncle Dom is around." The pianist smirks.
"Yeah, just like I can always feel his presence. Let's say that this sort of thing happens when two people are huge friends like we are." The blond adds.
"What about daddy? Can you feel him too when he arrives?" Alfie asks them, stunned.
"Well, we can feel someone coming from afar, but we can't tell if it's your daddy or not... by the way, I bet that now he's busy cuddling your mommy a lot!" Matt smiles.
"Oh. So, if you can't feel him, it means you're not his huge friends." Frankie pouts.
"No, wait, it's not what I meant!" Dominic corrects himself.
"Congrats, my dear, you had a genial idea!" The guitarist mutters in his direction.
"Sometimes uncle Dom doesn't know what he says." Matt distracts the kids. "Besides, he really loves when someone messes up with his hair!" He sets his devious revenge in action, sneering.
"What?" Dominic shrieks, panic-stricken.
"C'mon kids, he's at your whole disposal, get him!" Matt urges them and it's only a matter of seconds, before Dom finds himself with his back on the soft carpet, with Alfie and Frankie who keep him still, Ernie who goes on all fours on his stomach and Ava who combs his hair, ready to embellish it with all the hair accessories she can muster.
Matthew enjoys the moment, aiming playfully the water gun towards Dominic.
"If I were you I wouldn't move, unless you want to become Mr Golden Curls!" The frontman chuckles, knowing what effect water has on his beloved's hair.
"Don't you dare take any picture, otherwise you'll be in serious trouble!" Dom threatens him, but truth is that he's having lots of fun.
"Uncles, is it true that you'll never change?" Frankie asks them
"Yeah, that's true, we'll always be carefree, light-hearted and a little crazy, too." Dom smiles.
"Nope, what Frankie means was ... is it true that you'll never age anymore?"
Dom lifts Ernie in his arms and places him gently on the carpet and then he reaches Matt.
"What did mommy and daddy exactly tell you?" Matt questions them, leaning his back against the wall.
"That something happened to you and changed you a lot, although you're still the same." Ava quotes her parent's words, with a puzzled face.
Dom exchanges a quick glance with his boyfriend and he nods.
"That's true. Let's say that someone gave to Matt a magic gift and after a while Matt gave it to me, too." The drummer reveals, sitting among the children.
"Well, it's not that it's been very simple to give that gift to him, I've been through a lot of trouble before he accepted it!" Matt adds in an accusing tone, reaching the small group.
"That's odd, uncle Dom, usually you adore gifts!" Frankie observes, astonished.
"Yes, I like the ones you can unwrap and, if you don't like them, you can change them with something else. But once you accept this gift, you can't change it anymore." The blond states. "But I'm lucky, because this is the most beautiful gift I have ever received." He adds in a murmur, making his Sire smiles proudly.
"Why is it magic?" Alfie grows curios.
"Well, to begin with, it prevents us from aging, and then he allows us to do tons of weird things." Matt commences, looking for his partner's collaboration and the drummer doesn't deny that to him.
"Yeah, for example, now we're much stronger, faster, we can see better, we can hear better," Dom starts to enumerate.
"Show us, show us, show us!" Ava-Jo, Frankie and Alfie spur them, thrilled. The little Ernie can't understand what's going on, but seeing his brothers he waves his hands in the air, tilting his head to one side.
Matt and Dom exchange an uncertain look, getting up and backing off.
"No, kids, I don't think we should..." The drummer dissuades them.
"But we want to see!" Ava insists and it's not easy to say no to a little girl who stares at you with such hopeful eyes.
"If you don't do that, then it means that it's not true, that you told us a bunch of lies and..."
Alfie can't even finish his sentence when Matthew lifts him up.
"What did you say?" The pianist smirks shrewdly, while all the kids are stunned.
"But... you were on the opposite side of the room..." Alfie babbles, puzzled, while Matthew places him on the floor.
Ava and Frankie don't even have the time to utter a word, because Dom lifts them both up and put them on his shoulders.
"This works both for faster and stronger!" He explains, pleased, before putting them down again.
"WOW! This has been extra cool! I wanna do that again!" Frankie giggles.
Also Ava-Jo is very thrilled, while Alfie looks thoughtful.
"You've become faster, stronger... your senses are enhanced ... just like vampires!" He ponders.
Matthew and Dominic jolts in surprise and the Wolstenholme's firstborn notices that.
"Dammit! You have become vampires for real!" He states, electrified.
"Alfie! Where did you learn that ugly word?" Dom reproaches him, mostly in order to change topic.
"Oh, please, Dominic! He's eleven years old! Do I really have to remind you what we said at his age?" Matt chuckles, without any intention of acting like a fake moralist.
"Okay, but you haven't answered to me yet!" Alfie retorts.
"What are vampires?" Frankie grows curios.
"They're very cool beings who live by night, can turn into bats and go around, terrorizing people. Besides, they can do tons of cool things, like what the uncles did." His brother explains to him.
"Yes and no, Alfie. This is not completely exact." The percussionist points out.
"Do you really think vampires are extra cool?" Matthew beams and Alfie nods.
"Well, I like them, too, if they do all that stuff!" Frankie grins.
"I don't like them, I'm afraid. And I hate bats!" Ava protests, scared.
"No bats, Princess, don't worry about it, besides, I don't even like them, either!" Dom reassures her, kneeling down and opening his arms to her, who accepts his embrace.
"Hey, Alfie, how can you know so many things about vampires?" Matthew interrogates him.
"Once, my friends and I watched a 'Dracula' movie, hidden from everyone." Alfie confesses, bouncing and staring at the ground, very aware that he did something wrong.
"Oh well, this explains everything. But, you know, those movies only confuse minds. To begin with, we don't have all those stupid magical effects Mr. Transylvania has!" Dominic grumbles, maybe a little bit envious.
"Who?" Frankie frowns.
"They still mean Dracula, because he lives there." The elder brother explains to him, before turning to the musicians again. "But you can't be vampires! It's day and the sun kills vampires!"
"Just like Dom said, movies have tons of wrong stuff!" Matt states.
"Yeah, probably in the movie they show you that Dracula can't be reflected in mirrors." Dom figures out and the kid nods. "There couldn't be anything more wrong. Look." He says, drawing out a pocket mirror, opening it and showing his reflection, inviting Matt to do the same.
The kids stare at their reflection and Alfie is the more astonished one.
"That bloody movie told us a tons o lies!" He grumbles, nervous. "So, it's not true either that vampires suck people's blood.
"Well, that's one of the things that's true." The singer awkwardly confesses.
"Eeeww, that's so gross!" Ava-Jo grimaces in disgust.
"That's so cool!" Frankie approves with a huge grin.
"So, do your canines grow longer and do you sink them in people's neck?" Alfie goes on with his inquisition, more and more thrilled.
"I wanna see that movie, too!" Frankie protests.
"Nope, you can't, you're still too young!" The elder brother dissuades him, making the younger pout.
"I don't, neither do I want to be bitten, I'm so scared!" The little girl whines.
"Oh no, sweet little thing, don't be afraid of us, never ever. We would never do anything that can harm you." Dominic approaches her, cautiously. "About the other people, well... it's like when the doctor draws blood, but it's definitely more pleasant." He winks at her.
"Yeah. Besides, Dracula is evil, we are not. We don't harm people, we just take what we need from them and then we let them go and they feel more than fine. They can't even recall what happened." Matt reveals.
- Okay, maybe sometimes we kill someone, but only who deserves it. Uhmm... we'd better skip this part...- He ponders and staring at his Childe he has the feeling he's thinking the same thing.
"Why can't they recall anything?" Frankie asks them.
"Well, it's because, we do some magic and they forget they have been bitten." Dom decides to confess.
"And how do you do the magic? Do you have a magic hand? Like a fairy?" Ava questions them, thrilled.
"Geez, Ava, shut up! Fairies are so sissy!" Frankie makes fun of his sister and the firstborn approves.
"Nope, Princess, no magic wand. We use our eyes, they change colour, then something weird appears inside them and twirl and twirl..." Matt explains.
"I wanna see the twirling eyes!" Frankie urges them, jumping.
"And I want to see the elongated canines!" Alfie adds.
"No way, kids, we already showed you more than we should!" The pianist shakes his head negatively.
"Yeah, otherwise your daddy would turn us into dust!" The drummer adds.
"Okay, just a question more, then. Uncle Matt, why did you make this gift just to uncle Dom?" Ava-Jo asks him.
"Because eternity is like a school trip, so you want to get sure you have your best playmate by your side." Matt finds the simpler analogy possible, while his partner smiles, touched.
"But mommy said you want to make a gift to her and daddy, too." Frankie informs them.
"Huh? They told you, didn't they?" Matt wonders in awe.
"Yeah, they asked us if we would be happy if they didn't age anymore, because you and uncle Dom could make a weird gift to them." The children sums up.
"Okay, but it's not like the gift uncle Matt gave to me, it's less complicated. If they accept it they won't change, they won't do weird stuff like Matt and I do, simply they won't age anymore, so they'll can be forever with you, aren't you happy?" Dom smiles.
"Won't we age anymore, too?" Alfie asks them, concerned.
"Don't even dare to say that! All you have to do is grow up, play, have fun and enjoy every step of your lives." Matt spurs them, opening the door. "No go back to your parents and..."
"There's no need for that, your parents are here!" Kelly chuckles, with her husband by her side.
"Uncles, it's true, you just can't feel daddy's presence!" Ava points out, before her dad lifts her in his arms.
"So didn't you notice that there was someone outside?" Alfie questions them, while Kelly takes Ernie from his arms.
"Mommy, mommy, uncles told us what happened and what they can do now!" Frankie informs her, all excited.
"Really? So what exactly did they tell you?" Kelly asks her son, but she's clearly casting a threatening look towards Matt and Dom.
"All was needed to be said." Matt replies, facing her look fearlessly.
"But whit limits!" Dom points out, less fearlessly.
"Uncle Matt showed us how faster he became!" Alfie informs them, thrilled at the memory.
"Uncle Dom showed us also how stronger he is now!" Frankie adds, jumping.
"I knew I shouldn't have left them alone with you!" Chris mutters, glaring at his best friends
"Instead it was for good, they just needed to know what has happened." Dom strikes back.
"Yeah, plus, think about it, it's been five albums and various b-sides that I've kept telling I want the twuth, it would be very hypocrite from me if I didn't spread it." The frontman justifies.
"Still with the limits!" Dominic rushes to add, because immortal or not he's still sort of afraid of the Wolstenholme spouses.
"Yes, daddy, we insisted to make them tell us the truth. And we don't repent for that, at least I don't." Alfie states very seriously.
"Neither do I!" Frankie grins.
Ernie confines himself to yelling happily and waving his arms.
"What about you, Ava?" Her dad questions the little girl.
"Well, everything is so strange, but uncles said I shouldn't be afraid and I always do what they tell me to do." She murmurs, making the two vampires smile.
"See? Your kids are not fraidy-cat like Tom!" Dominic chuckles.
"Well, it wasn't a good reason for telling them that. Did you think about the school? Little kids always talk with each other..." Kelly makes them notice, concerned.
"Bless children's oh so fervid imagination!" Matt strikes back. "Do you really think that that could draw attention?" He shrugs.
"Matt is right. And if some teachers start to ask too many questions, Matt and I will pay a visit to them and deal with that." Dominic sneers, with an attitude that scares both the kids and their parents.
"Dom meant that we would hypnotize them and make them forget any weird thing they happened to hear." Matthew makes everything clearer, reproaching his vivacious Childe with his look.
"Yeah, yeah, I just meant to hypnotize them." The blond snorts, a little disappointed.
"Uncles, can I call you if at school some bullies annoy me?" Alfie wonders.
"Sue, just name the place and we'll be there!" The guitarist nods.
"No way, Alfie!" Kelly interferes. "This is not the proper way to solve problems."
"Your mother is right; you have to punch those guys, good and proper, there's the only way to prove you're not a coward and gain their respect." Chris exhorts him, placing his daughter down.
"Christopher! Is this what you teach your sons to do?" Kelly snaps, furious.
"Oh, c'mon, Kelly. How many times have I been through that when I was his same age? Not to mention Dom and Matt, they were bullies' favourite targets!"
"Please, don't remind me of that!" The pianist rolls his eyes.
"If I had been a vampire already back to those day, I would have defended you every moment." Dom declares, protective.
"How cute!" The brunet smiles at him. "And I would have done the same with you, it's not that you had an easier life than mine!"
"Lucky for you, I was there, defending you." Chris grins proudly, beating his chest with his hand. "See, Alfie? This is a necessary phase in a boy's life." He explains to his son.
"I can't believe that you're really teaching him those things!" Kelly snaps again, even more annoyed. "Alfie, don't listen to your father, unless you want to become a cocky, overbearing braggart, all muscles and no brain!" She goes on, turning to her elder son.
"Hey! Is that what you think of me?" Chris asks his wife, insulted.
"Yes. When you act this way! And I won't change my mind easily. Quite the contrary, right now I can't even stand your view! C'mon, kids, let's go!" Kelly strikes back, pissed off, leaving with all her sons.
"Troubles in Heaven, am I right?" Matt teases his friend with a sly smile.
"It's a bad matter, buddy!" Dom pats his shoulder.
"The worse thing is that tomorrow it's my birthday, but she won't change her mood for that reason. I know her." The gorgeous drummer despairs.
"She will, if you do something special to make her forgive you!" The blond urges him.
"Or maybe... if she didn't remember anything about our last discussion..." Chris hints, with a knowing smile.
"Are you trying to tell us something, big boy?" Matthew scrutinizes him, narrowing his eyes.
(end I)
So, did you get what Chris plans to do? ;)
You'll see in next part, along with such dirty kinky hot stuff between our dear vampires that I should be ashamed to post XD
I'm always eager to know what you think so far ^^
Bye
