Moonlight brought the garden to life. It was beautiful as dew from the previous day glistened on rose bushes. The water in the fountain was like an everlasting cascade of silver. Two forms were sitting under the weeping willow tree. The small wicker bench creaked gently as their weights shifted slightly.
"D-Debi..." One voice muttered in a pleasured tone. The voice's hair shined a pale gold in the moonlight, his eyes glinting emerald.
"Jasdero...Ngh..." The other voice moaned softly, limbs wrapping around shoulders and bringing their bodies closer together. "I can't believe...You've hidden this...and for how long?" The second voice chuckled, practically clinging to the blond. The blond laughed, one of his hands running through the dark hair of his twin.
"I already told you. I forgot when I started feeling like this."
"Then I guess we're even," The ravenette started as he flipped his twin over on the wicker bench. "so long as I get to be seme."
"Deal, Debito." The blond smirked, his hands grasping at Debito's shoulders as he brought the ravenette down for another lip crashing kiss.
"Tyki?"
"Yes, Jasdebi?"
"Have you-" She cut off for a moment. "Erhm, never mind. I just remembered something." She smiled, laughing a bit. Tyki blinked a few times.
"Are you alright Jasdebi? You seem...tense..." She bit her lip lightly, wondering if she should talk to him about the matter. "Is there anything you wanted to talk about?"
"The twins...Is...Is it okay if..."
"If..." He motioned with his hand for her to continue, slightly worried if it were something dreadful.
"If they...uhm...loved each other more than as brothers?" She squeaked slightly, scared of his answer.
"Well," Tyki started, not quite sure on his answer. It seemed whatever he did answer with though might determine Jasdebi's feelings. "Uhm...So long as the Earl doesn't find out, I guess it wouldn't matter..." He smiled a bit and Jasdebi's mood seemed to brighten.
"Oh, thank-you Tyki!" She giggled, kissing his cheek and hugging him tightly before running off. The brunette was red in the face now.
"Damn, she sure is cute sometimes...I wonder where Road is..."
"Tyki being a better catch than Allen...Hah! Like that'll ever happen..." Road sighed softly as she played with a small doll. It had been crafted to resemble Tyki when he wore his more formal outfit. Its top hat was attached to its head with tiny prickles. It was specially ordered by Sheryl for Road's birthday back a few years ago. "Allen's just as cute as Tyki is." She glared holes in the other doll, it was more shaped to resemble Allen. "Well...Sort of...Tyki's prettier though..." She frowned in confusion, removing the top hat from the Tyki doll's head, making him walk around. "What do you think, Tyki?"
"..." The doll was of course silent to her question and she sighed, placing the doll down. She propped it up against her little jewelry box, putting the Allen one next to a Lavi doll. She'd asked for a doll to represent all of her friends. If any of them were away, she'd have a doll that looked like them to play with in spite of their absence. The toys kept her company, that was true, and they were definitely entertaining, but...She couldn't help but still miss the real flesh and blood. It was much funner to play with the real Tyki than just a small copy.
"You're nothing like the real Tyki. The real Tyki's softer, nicer, has curlier hair, and is a lot more talkative than you. You're just mean and insensitive."
"Oh, is that true?"
"Of course! Wait...You didn't just-" She turned her head to see Tyki standing in the doorway to her room. She squealed and dropped the little doll, running over to Tyki after slipping on her butterfly slippers. "Tyki!" She smiled as she hugged him tightly.
"I was wondering where you went off to. Going to bed already?"
"Nope...Playing with my dollies."
"But your dolls don't seem very nice to you. Is my doll not being very polite?" Road giggled, snuggling close to the young man as he picked her up into his arms.
"Yes, he's not very polite at all! He's always boring and mean and-"
"Alright, enough mean talk about the Tyki doll." Tyki laughed, ruffling her sapphire locks. "So, why are you really up?"
"...What Jasdebi said before we left the mansion earlier today..."
"Oh really? And what did she say that's keeping my little night owl awake?" Road giggled a bit and blushed.
"She...Well, I was pouting over not having Allen anymore and then she said,'I bet Tyki's a better catch!' and then I got all blushy and now I can't stop thinking about it!"
"Ah, Jasdebi only said that because she's a silly flirt. But do you not agree? I am much more polite and cute~"
"Tyki!" Road giggled, playfully punching him in the stomach.
"Alright, maybe I'm too full of myself, ne?" Road nodded, pecking his cheek.
"But you are prettier than Allen can ever be. Plus, you are a lot more nice...At least you actually cuddle me." She giggled, hugging close to Tyki as he sat on her bed. He smiled softly, kissing her forehead.
"Ah, but I'm too old for you, Road. But, it would be nice...I do love you , you know..."
"And I love my Tyki!" She squealed, pressing close to him. She felt her heart racing in her chest.
"How about this..." He pecked her lips, looking her in the eyes. His creamy topaz orbs met her sparkling sapphire. "if you can keep it secret from Sheryl...I can be more than your Uncle...For however long you'd like..." He grinned, stroking her cheek softly. Road's cheeks flushed a light pink.
"Well...Daddy finds out about everything!"
"Not if we're sneaky enough..."
"Okay then...It can be our little secret..." Road smiled as she pressed her lips against Tyki's. His were much more soft than Allen's had been.
"Mm..." Tyki pressed close, deepening the kiss gently as he tilted his head slightly to the right. Road's lips parted to let Tyki's tongue explore her own mouth and she moaned softly as their tongues brushed one another. As Tyki pulled away Road wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"Tyki..." Road giggled a bit, wiping some saliva from her lower lip. "You're a better kisser than Allen was." Tyki laughed.
"That's because I'm older than him and he's probably not as experienced." Road blushed a bit and Tyki only laughed a bit more. "I'm just teasing. Actually, that was my first kiss since...I don't know how long."
"Well, then I'm special, huh?"
"Guess ya are, my little Road..." He kissed her neck softly, trailing down the soft skin. Road gasped, letting small moans escape her lips. "Mm...I won't do anymore...Not until you're older at least." Road pouted, playing with Tyki's soft, curly hair.
"You're a tease, Tyki."
"I know." He smirked, nibbling her ear and making her giggle a little. "But I can't do more than that until your older and plus...we might wake up Skin if we do that."
"I'm surprised you haven't heard the twins yet. They're out in the garden having their own fun. That's why I'm in here instead of bugging Debito about stuff."
"Hm...That's why Jasdebi asked about it. Mm, ah well. They can be in love as well as us then." The brunette grinned, laying themselves down on the soft silk sheets. Road giggled quite a bit.
"Tyki, if you sleep in here and Daddy walks in for my bedtime story..."
"Ah, he'll think I read you a story and fell asleep. Especially if-"
"Wait, you're gonna read me the story tonight?" She asked in an excited way. Tyki laughed.
"Of course, Road. Sheryl said he probably wouldn't be home until around three in the morning, so he told me to make sure you got your bedtime story. So, where's the book?" Road grinned wide as she got up out of the bed. "Are you going to get it?"
"Silly Tyki! We have to get in our pj's!" She giggled as she rummaged through the top drawer of her colorful dresser. Tyki blinked a few times, but chuckled, shaking his head slightly as he got up as well.
"You're a silly too." Road stuck her tongue out at the taller young man and he laughed, heading out the door. "Wait, where's Tyki going?"
"To get my pajamas, like you said." Road thought about it and then grinned.
"I wanna sleep in your room tonight!" Tyki blinked a few times, but sighed, snickering a bit.
"Alright." She always got her way when she was with him, lovers or not. "C'mon then. Well, after you're in your night gown." Road nodded, undressing quickly and then getting into a pair of short shorts and a long tank top. It was black with a little devil bunny in silver. "You are exactly what that shirt says."
"Am not!" She laughed, playfully punching his side.
"Yes you are, you always punch me. That makes you a bad, bad bunny."
"Lavi's the bunny!"
"Oh, yes. That he is. Especially since he's almost as fast as one of them fu-" Road hit Tyki again.
"No cussing Tyki!"
"Alright, alright." He laughed, a slight sweat drop rolling off his cheek. Road was definitely silly, bad, and sweet rolled into one. It was a strange, but amusing combination. Tyki enjoyed her personality more often than Sheryl's. Even though Sheryl had merely adopted Road, they had similar personalities. Except, Road had more bad and Sheryl had more sweet. That happened to be the reason Tyki liked Road around. Having a little brat around could sometimes lighten the mood, even if by a little. "You're a devil."
"Hey!" She punched him yet again, adjusting her black tank top. "I am not. I might be mean, but I am not a devil." She giggled a bit. "Tyki is!"
"Hey, you can't call me a devil."
"That's what ya get for kissing little girls."
"You asked for it."
"Did not!"
"In hidden terms, yes, you did." Road blushed a deep red and Tyki couldn't help but laugh quite a bit. They both glanced over in stunned silence when the door to the garden opened and Debito walked through, carrying Jasdero over his shoulder. "Uh..."
"We weren't doing anything." Debito stated in defense as he ran to his and his brother's room. Tyki couldn't help but laugh a bit more.
"Wow, I've already embarrassed two in a row. I am a master at this."
"Uh-huh Tyki..." Road grinned and pushed him to the side as she ran ahead, running up the stairs to the second floor. "Beat ya~!"
"Hey!" Tyki called from downstairs, quickly walking up the stairs right after Road had. "That was uncalled for."
"Still, I beat you." She grinned, sticking her tongue out at him. She glanced off in the way she'd thought to be the right direction but blinked a few times. Slight fear engulfed her. She'd never been one to like darkness. There had to be some sort of light around her. Moonlight was good...If it weren't thin slits. "T-Tyki?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you and Sheryl and the Earl...And all the others...Do you guys seriously sleep up here?"
"Yeah. What...you scared?" He smiled a bit, picking her up. "If you want, I can protect you from the demons." She giggled a bit.
"Silly Tyki. First you're a devil now you're an angel!" Tyki laughed at this, carrying her through the dark hallway. It was a bit spooky. Especially with the moon being full and casting its silver beams through the cracks in the windows. The upper part of the mansion was off limits to the younger four mostly due to it being unstable. It could be considered the haunted part of the mansion, considering the Earl particularly loved haunted homes.
"Hope my room is much more comforting. There's more candlelight in there." Road smiled a bit at the word 'candlelight'. That was one of her favorite things. The smell of the wax slowly melting from its original mold, making a puddle of hot goop around the burning wick.
"I hope it is too...Do you have a lot of candles?" Tyki nodded, smiling.
"I'm sort of scared all alone up here anyhow. Yes, I do still get scared. But it's normal."
"Yeah...I'm scared too, so we can be scared together." Road giggled, clinging to Tyki slightly. As Tyki walked down the hall, the only sound Road heard was the clicking of his shoes against the checkerboard marble flooring. It was a slightly chilling feeling and she noticed the halls had no heating. She shivered softly from fear and from the cool night air. She began to wonder what it felt like in the winter time. This made her shudder another time and Tyki cocked an eyebrow.
"Are you cold?" Road shook her head, smiling. Tyki sighed, but nodded with a smile. He gently placed Road down as he came to a stop. The wall looked completely black to Road's eyes, having no idea there was actually a door there. As Tyki blinked a few times, his eyes adjusted to the darkness and he found the knob. It was an oddly shaped one, shaped to resemble a cross. "Here we are," He said as he turned the cross-shaped knob, the sound of several clicks echoing through the hall as he opened the door. To Road's surprise it didn't creak on the hinges. They looked rusted though...
"Woah..." She was amazed at how many candles lit the room. "Do you ever blow these out?"
"Nope. Shock this place hasn't burned down, eh?" Tyki snickered a bit, the candles' several flames all wavering a bit as the two entered the room. It was a rather comforting room nonetheless. The walls were coated with a soft jade green and lavender lilacs were sprawled over the bottom of the walls. The room had five walls. It was a sort of pentagon shape. At the tip of the pentagon, Tyki's bed was centered on the corner. The bottom of the pentagon shaped room held the door. The other two sides had a dresser against each wall*. The bed was covered in silky Chinese-style sheets. The bed's headboard had a dragon on it, almost as if it loomed over the sleeper to protect them.
"I have no idea how you can sleep in here..."
"Sheryl picked out the bed. The room came this way though, dressers in all." He smiled as he took off his shirt and pants, tossing them in a hamper next to the door. "Here, just follow me if your eyes haven't adjusted. Unless you want me to carry you."
"Carry me." She grinned a bit as Tyki hoisted her up into his arms again, carrying her over to his large bed. It almost seemed enormous to Road. As he placed her on the bed though, Road squeaked in surprise as her weight shifted the bed downwards. "Woah! Cool! It's a water bed!"
"Yeah, also Sheryl's idea. It is rather comfy though." He smiled as he got on it from the other side. He got under the covers quickly, searching for Road's waist so he could wrap his arm around her. But, she had other ideas and was running about wildly under the sheets. He sighed, but grinned a bit as he waited for the perfect moment and then- "Gotcha!"
"Oh, foo." She pouted, but giggled as Tyki pulled her close. "Guess ya did." Tyki nodded with a bit of a smug expression. "But you didn't catch this!" She poked his nose and he blinked and then she kissed his lips quickly, pulling away.
"Hey, that's no fair."
"Exactly." Road grinned, cuddling up close to Tyki. "I love you, Tyki..." She yawned slightly, the fear from earlier and the previous events having exhausted her by now. She eventually dozed off in the young man's arms. He laughed.
"Love you too, Road..." He snapped his fingers and strangely, all the candles went out. He'd never tell Road the things he'd learned form the Earl. They were special tricks only him, Lulu Bell, Skin, and Sheryl would know. Well, until the younger ones got older, because that was only fair.
"Jasdero..." Jasdebi poked the blond curiously. Debito was laying back on the bed, whining about something. "Jasdero~"
"Ngh, what?" The blond mumbled, blinking a few times to clear his foggy emerald eyes.
"I thought Debito mighta fucked you to death." Jasdebi laughed real hard when she saw the priceless expression on Jasdero's face. His cheeks went deep red and his eyes were as wide as tennis balls.
"Not. Funny. Jasdebi!!!!" Jasdero and Debito cried as they glared daggers at their older sister who'd fallen to the ground from her eruption of laughter.
"I'm sorry, but that expression on cute little Jasdero's face was absolutely priceless!" She wiped a couple tears from her eyes, still giggling. "I wish I'd had a camera!"
"Well, we're glad you didn't have one. Jas still needs a shower and so do I." Debito grumbled something else about his own ass aching.
"Wait, who topped then?" The twins blushed even more. Jasdebi busted into more giggles. They were too easy to embarrass sometimes!
"None of your business!!!" They both called as they rushed into the bathroom adjoining their room. Jasdebi couldn't help but bust into even more giggles.
"They're so much fun to tease sometimes." She headed out of the bedroom she shared with them and into the living room. After pausing to stare at the fire a moment, she then shook her head and headed out towards the garden. The full moon glanced over at her as she entered its stage, its spotlight shining down on her and making her cerulean orbs glow. She loved the night time. Owls hooted in the distance and a bunch of wolves in the forest were howling in a mournful way. "So beautiful..."
"I agree...Jasdebi..." A voice suddenly murmured from behind her. She squeaked and turned around. It was merely Sheryl.
"Oh...You scared me Sheryl!" She giggled, sitting on the fountain and poking at a few fireflies.
"Sorry, my dear." He smiled wide, walking over to sit beside her. "I heard Cross talked to you today, hm?" Jasdebi blushed a bit.
"Uhm, y-yes...he did...But I didn't do anything! Honest to goodness!"
"I know...You're too sweet for him anyhow..." Jasdebi blushed, giggling quite a bit. As Sheryl got closer her cheeks reddened more. "You're much too splendid for anybody else..." His lips brushed over hers and she shuddered softly.
"Sh-Sheryl! What if the Earl notices?!"
"Ah, so you don't mind?" He smirked, wrapping a hand around her waist. She giggled a bit and shook her head no.
"Even though Tyki's cute, I've always thought you were pretty cute too..." She grinned, twirling a finger in his dark brown curly hair. "Perhaps..." She pecked his cheek. "If the Earl doesn't find out it could be our little secret?" Sheryl nodded with a grin, hugging the blond close.
"Mm...Yes...Ah, you're much more beautiful by moonlight...I'm not surprised Cross tried to ask you out. But he's older than me even, so he's a definite no-no." Sheryl laughed, poking Jasdebi's nose gently. Jasdebi giggled again.
"Oh, and the twins are doing the same exact thing we are."
"Hm? You mean loving a family member like this?" He kissed her lips softly to emphasize his point. She nodded, blushing a velvet red. "Oh, well who cares? So long as the Earl doesn't find out, we're all safe..." He smiled, laying his head on top of Jasdebi's soft blond hair. Her hair was so soft...no wonder the twins like to mess with it! "Jasdebi?"
"Hm?"
"Don't ever leave...please?"
"I don't plan to Sheryl. I love living here. Plus...I feel safe here. I plan on living here as long as I'm able. I'll even help pay for the bills after I'm outta college."
"What do you mean after? You already do help out!" He laughed, pecking her forehead.
"Oh, that's true. I guess I can't really say anything about the matter then, huh?"
"Nope. You're silent. I've duck taped your mouth shut."
"Sheryl!" Jasdebi giggled, playfully pushing him away and running over under the weeping willow. "Miss me! Miss me! Now ya gotta kiss me!" Sheryl grinned. "If you can catch me that is!" She giggled.
"Well, that's how she's gonna play it, hm?" He removed his overcoat and placed his monocle on top of his top hat on top of that, after folding the overcoat of course. He ran over towards her but she jumped up and landed on one of the lower branches of the tree. "You're as agile as a cat, Jasdebi! How many times have you practiced with Lulu?!" He laughed a bit, jumping a few times before reaching the branch and grabbing hold. "Ugh, I'm out of shape so horribly so..."
"Not many times. I just have to get used to jumping so I can dodge some of the lesbians at the college." Sheryl blinked a few times, the image of lesbians chasing Jasdebi making him laugh a bit.
"Well, I guess I'm not chased as much as you. I can hardly keep up with Tyki!"
"Hah! Tyki's slow!" She laughed, jumping and pulling herself on to a higher branch.
"Okay, now that's just not fair!" Sheryl made a false pout, pulling himself up onto the branch Jasdebi had previously been standing on. "I think you should come to me if you want that kiss~" He grinned as he jumped off the branch, landing and doing a cartwheel.
"Hey!" She laughed, jumping to the previous branch and then jumping off to try and tackle Sheryl. He dodged and she fell on her face.
"Ah, I can dodge you, yet I can't catch up with you. That's funny." He laughed, leaning down to offer her a hand up. She took it and he lifted her up, his free arm reaching behind and supporting her upper back so she wouldn't fall. "Mm, here's that kiss." He pressed his lips against hers and she gasped for a moment before relaxing and deepening the kiss, nibbling on the older male's lower lip. He grinned and pulled away, causing Jasdebi to whine.
"You're a big tease, ya know that, Sheryl?" He nodded, snickering.
"It's fun to tease you though. You're cute when you pout."
"Haha, very funny." She said with a hint of sarcasm, but she laughed a bit. "The twins and Road are all much more fun to tease than me though...right?" Sheryl shook his head, pecking her lips softly.
"You're special. Road may be my daughter, and she is quite fun to tease, but you're more fun to tease even more than Road." He grinned, lifting the blond into his arms. "Wanna sleep in my room?" She nodded softly, snuggling into his chest.
The brunette carried Jasdebi up the stairs and into the dark hallway Tyki had previously passed through. But Sheryl turned around and took the opposite direction, humming a soft tune to himself as he passed a few doors. He came to a sudden stop and placed Jasdebi down. He felt around for a moment before his hand came across a star shaped knob. He twisted it and several clicks, similar to the sound Tyki's door had made, sounded off and it opened without a creak despite the rusty appearance.
"After you, m'lady~"
"Always a gentleman, huh Sheryl?" She giggled, carefully walking into the room. This one was a lot more simple, aside from the complex designs scattered on the four walls of the room. She'd noticed each one had a meaning and smiled at the one wall behind the bed. Its meaning held love and photos of the whole family were everywhere on it. Baby pictures and other such photos were in the mass collage. "Wow...Aww! You were so adorable!" Sheryl laughed at this. Jasdebi was pointing to a photo of him and Tyki when they were real little. Another picture showed Road as a baby and Tyki looked to be about nine. He was proudly holding Road and cuddling her a bit. Sheryl was behind him, complaining about not getting to hold the baby girl. Jasdebi giggled a bit.
"Mm, I guess his love for the baby of the family never faded, hm?" Sheryl smiled, standing beside Jasdebi now. She nodded.
"Road doesn't seem to have changed much in loving Tyki either." She pointed to another one, showing Tyki when he was about fourteen and Road was about five. She was having what looked to be a tea party with him and they were dressed up. "Aww! I didn't know they even made tuxedos that small...He looks so adorable!!!" She giggled, sitting down on Sheryl's bed now. The sheets were smooth lavender silk. The blanket was a large comforter colored navy blue. The pillows looked like they were a pale yellow.
"Yeah...Tyki and Road were the ones that always played. Them and the twins anyways. You were more withdrawn." He snickered. "Looking at a few of these, us were the two withdrawn ones and when we were together..." He pointed to one such photo, snickering a bit. "We were quite silly." They had drawn on themselves with Crayola markers. The Earl was in the background washing some dishes while the two colored themselves instead of the book in front of them.
"I remember that! That was when I just turned ten!"
"I was about twelve, but I still had fun doing childish things like that. Oh, and here's one that proves you were always more of gymnast than me." He pointed to one where Jasdebi was perfectly balancing on a pole while Sheryl was trying to not fall on to the blue matting underneath them. "I never had liked ballet. It was a major pain in the neck." He snickered a bit, removing his pants and shirt. "Well, you ready to go to bed?"
"Whenever you're ready." She smiled. She had already been in her pj's. She was wearing a black tank top similar to Road's, except it had 'Embrace The Darkness' in silver with a butterfly underneath that. She got under the thick comforter and patted the spot next to her, waiting for Sheryl. Sheryl laughed, getting under the comforter as well and then brought Jasdebi into his arms. "I love you Sheryl...You're really sweet..." The brunette snickered a bit, pecking her forehead.
"I love you too Jasdebi. Sweet dreams..." He smiled, holding her close as if to protect her. Jasdebi quickly dozed off in his loving hold. Sheryl stayed awake for a moment, his dark brown eyes glancing about the room once before drifting shut, no longer worrying him with the world around them, now letting dreamy images flash through his mind.
That Next Morning, In The Dining Room...
"I'm bored, Tyki!"
"Go play with your dolls then."
"No!"
"So, how did you sleep, Tyki?"
"Fine, Sheryl. How about you?"
"Perfectly well. Did you read Road her bedtime story?" Road and Tyki glanced at each other a moment. The whole family, aside from the Earl who was in another country doing business with Lulu at his side. "Tyki..."
"Yes. Didn't I Road?" Road nodded, smiling wide.
"He read a new one to me this time!" She hugged her uncle, making the young man laugh. He lifted her into his lap, his arms wrapped around her waist to secure her from falling off.
"Ah, that's good." Sheryl smiled, tossing an airplane shaped note to Jasdebi across the table. She caught it and unfolded it.
'Meet me after breakfast in the garden. *kiss*'
Jasdebi giggled, nodding and crumpling the paper up, trashing it. She got up and stretched a bit. "Ngh...Well, I'm full. See ya guys." She grinned, waving a bit as she headed out of the dining room towards the garden.
"Ah, I'm full as well. I've got some paper work to finish in my study anyways." He headed in the opposite direction as Jasdebi had, but even if he did this, the mansion was a rectangular shape. The garden was centered in the middle of this rectangle, right? He'd still get to it even if he didn't follow her!
"Hmm..." Tyki hummed a little, playing with Road's hair. The normally wild and spiky hairdo she'd have was now tamed with a headband. The band was lavender and had a little white skull on it. "You're so cute like this, you know that?" He grinned, stroking the smooth sapphire locks.
"Yep. Everyone knows that, Tyki!" She grinned, poking his nose and hopping down. "I'm going upstairs and you can't stop me!" She grinned, running off towards the flight of stairs. Tyki grumbled something and chased after the little girl. The twins laughed at him from their spot at the dining table. Skin had left the table by now to read something in the Study. The twins glanced at one another.
"Wanna go to our room, Jas?" Debito grinned, grabbing his brother's wrist. The blond nodded and they rushed off as well, unable to control their lust for each other any longer...
