Breakfast
When Matthew woke up he realized that he was not alone. He felt a large warm body pressed against his back and a smaller one hugging him. When he opened his eyes and looked down he spotted a puff of black hair. Last night's events came back to him. For once Matthew was happy not to wake up to a cold bed.
He removed Gilbert's hand from around his waist and took Sebastian with him when he got off the bed. Removing himself from Gilbert's sleeping grasp was one thing but getting Sebastian off was a job in itself. When he was able to pull the boy off he placed him with Gilbert and recovered them with the blanket. He watched Sebastian curl up to Gilbert's chest. After that was done he went downstairs to start breakfast.
~Mismatched Lovers~
Gilbert started to stir once the smell of cooking food reached his nose. When he was able to open his eyes he saw the bed was empty save for him and Sebastian. He got out of bed, pulled on his shirt then picked up Sebastian to travel downstairs.
The smell of bacon cooking made Gilbert's mouth water. He positioned the sleeping child in his arms so he would not be disturbed as Gilbert walked down the stairs. One he was in the living room he set Sebastian on one of the arms of the couches with a pillow and threw a blanket over the boy before walking to the kitchen. Gilbert saw Matthew standing by the stove. The smell in the room was heavenly.
"What are you cooking?" Gilbert asked.
Matthew jumped a little, "Oh, good morning Gilbert."
"Morning so what are we having?" Gilbert said sitting in a chair at the table.
"We are having bacon, eggs, waffles, and caramelized apples."
"What are you, a gourmet chief?"
"I work at a café. You're here today so it gives me a chance to cook like this."
"You're not going to make it easy for me to leave are you?" Gilbert said with a sad look in his eyes.
"I wish you did not have to leave. If you could stay I would love it. It felt nice waking up to someone next to me." Matthew said with a loving look that Gilbert could not see.
Matthew made sure the eggs were off the heat to allow them to finish cooking, the bacon was on a paper towel, the apples were in a bowl and the last waffle was in before wetting a paper towel. He walked over to Gilbert and started wiping his mouth. Gilbert allowed Matthew to treat him like a child. It was not until Matthew pulled away and showed him the black stained napkin that Gilbert started freaking out.
"I can explain." Gilbert stammered out.
"Good morning." A tiny voice said going right through the kitchen door.
"Morning Sebastian," Matthew said
Sebastian stretched out his arms to Matthew, "What time is it?"
Matthew picked up the boy, "Around eight."
"Can I go watch TV?" He gripped onto Matthew's shirt once he was up.
"Yep, let's go." Matthew spun around making Sebastian laugh.
Matthew walked into the living room with Sebastian and threw him on the couch. Sebastian laughed when he hit the couch. Matthew covered Sebastian's smaller body with his and started to tickle the smaller boy. While Sebastian recovered from his laughing fit Matthew turned on the television. When the laughing boy quieted he pulled the blanket over him and snuggled into the couch. Matthew walked back into the kitchen and saw that the table had been set.
He smiled, "You know I gave you a bigger portion than me. I don't have a big stomach."
"Oh, sorry" Gilbert said.
"It's alright." Matthew said correcting the portion size.
Breakfast was full of talk. Gilbert talked about all the places he had been. Matthew loved hearing about all the placed he wished he could go. He told Matthew what he usually did every day. The demon was excited to know more about the human.
He found out Matthew was the youngest of twins. Matthew told him how he and his brother were like yin and yang. They were polar opposites but they used each other for support. Matthew was quiet and shy while his brother was loud and sometimes obnoxious. Matthew told Gilbert how his brother was overly protective and was against him leaving home.
"So what was that black stuff on your mouth? You said you would explain." Matthew said picking up the dishes and bringing them to the sink.
"It was ink." Gilbert said joining Matthew at the sink with the glasses.
"Ink?" Matthew said rising and eyebrow.
"Demons create a specially made ink in their gums. The ink is used to mark ones mate after mating. For some reason each demon is born with their own mark that they give to their mate. Each mark is unique, down to the slightest detail." Gilbert wrapped his arms around Matthew's waist. "I like you Matthew I really do. Sometimes it's hard being in the same room as you because I just want to throw you down and ravish you. You don't know how hard is for me, an unmated dominate male demon, to hold myself back."
"Why do you like me?" Matthew muttered with his head down.
Gilbert caressed Matthew's face from behind, "I'm guessing it's all in instincts. For thousands of years demons have been selecting their mates for beautiful and strong children. A beautiful face, "Gilbert's hand traveled down to Matthew's shoulders, "well-built body structure to help protect their children," he moved lower to the smaller's hips, "semi-wide hips to wide hips to make it easier to carry a child and easier in childbirth."
Matthew spun around fast with a light blush across his cheeks, "So I'm nothing but a baby factory for you. You don't really like me."
"Eh that's not right come on let's sit." Gilbert pulled Matthew to the table and sat him on top of it while he sat in a chair between Matthew's legs. He grabbed Matthew's hands. "The way demons and humans think of partners are two different ideas. Some of the concepts are the same but the overall idea is different. In a human relationship both partners are usually equal but in a demon partnership the submissive has all the power. The submissive picks the mate, chooses when to mate for the first time, controls when they have sex and many other things. The only thing dominates are used for are children and protection.
"Dominates are completely under the submissive's control." Gilbert placed his head on Matthew's thigh and looked up at him, "Demons are usually monogamous but there are acceptations. Sometimes a mated dominate's sex drive is more than the submissive can handle so they allow their partner to have another submissive that the first submissive chooses."
"I thought you said the dominate male can only mark once." Matthew said playing with Gilbert's hair.
"The submissive has a hormone that they don't use. After the dominate marks their mate they use all the ink their body made and it doesn't return. The hormone the submissive has allows the dominate male's ink glands to produce it again. It is transfers to the other through a bite to the mating mark."
"Are you telling me this because you are looking for another mate?" Matthew's hand tightened on the white hair, "I don't like sharing."
Gilbert noticed how the hand on his hair was getting tighter, "No!" He winced when Matthew's fingernails started scraping his head. "I'm still unmated, you can check."
"Then why are you telling me this?" Matthew's hand relaxed.
"You said you wanted to know more about demons."
"Oh yeah I did ask that last night." Matthew laughed. "Sorry for getting on your case."
"It's alright. You still want to know more."
"Yeah," Matthew said resuming playing with Gilbert's hair.
"Don't get mad anymore please."
"Alright, I won't."
"What do you want to know about?"
"Your tail, you said something about your tail having mind of its own."
"Yeah, a demons tail is sort of like a intimidate place. A submissive would usually keep their tail hidden under their clothes. A dominate would keep their tail out, usually wrapped around their leg or waist. When a dominate male is dead set on a certain mate they would give a gift, usually a gem or flower. Once they show their possible mate they are interested they would follow them around. One submissive can have two to five dominates following him or her around. A dominate's tail would search out the submissive's tail as an intimate gesture. When the submissive picks their mate is when they allow their tail to drop and display it out in the open as a sign that he or she is called for. Every time the couple mates their tails intertwine. Their tails intertwining is a symbol of their bond."
Matthew poked Gilbert's forehead, "What about your horns, do all demons have them? Yours are pretty small does that mean you are weak because I don't want a weak partner."
"No I am not weak." Gilbert explained popping off of Matthew's thigh and looking him dead in the eye, "How could you have so little hope in me?"
"It was a joke. I wouldn't feel comfortable about someone who was weak." Matthew said with a smile.
Gilbert pouted and rested his head on Matthew's thigh again, "That still hurt."
"Sorry didn't mean to make you feel bad." Matthew said stroking Gilbert's hair.
"Doesn't matter it still hurt my ego."
"Come on tell me."
"Alright stop shaking your leg. A demon's horn only show that he or she are a dominate male. Horns are always small just for showing your status. The only demon who has larger horns are the King, and it's only to show his power. Submissives don't have horns."
"Why are yours gold then?"
"Mine are gold because I am albino. Usually they are black like the wings and tail." Gilbert's head popped up because his ears picked up on something. "I think I have to go."
"Why?"
"I hear them calling."
"Who?"
The yelling got louder, "Yeah I really got to." Gilbert said walking towards the balcony.
Matthew grabbed him arm, "Why?"
"The others are calling for me. They are the rest of my group, they are looking for me. Apparently they must have noticed I wasn't there this morning so I must have stayed behind."
"What about Sebastian?"
"I'll come pick him up tonight and it gives me an excuse to come see you."
Matthew crossed his arms, "You're lucky I got today off."
"Thanks birdie." Gilbert said kissing Matthew on the cheek.
"Whatever." Matthew rolled his eyes and laughed.
Gilbert walked onto the balcony and changed, he looked back and winked, "See you tonight."
Matthew felt his face heat up as Gilbert flew away. He walked back into the living room and sat on the couch with Sebastian. The smaller boy crawled onto Matthew's lap and continued to watch television. For Matthew it felt good to have someone with him.
Maybe I like Gilbert. Matthew thought. Yep, I like him.
~Mismatched Lovers~
"Birdie I'm back." Gilbert said landing on the balcony, changing forms.
Gilbert placed his hand on the doorknob and found it was open. He slowly opened the door and silently closed it behind him. All the lights in the apartment were on and the television was playing The Fairy Odd Parents. The sound of breathing was the only indication that there was a living creature in the living room. When he looked at the couch he noticed Matthew and Sebastian cuddled up on the couch with a blanket over them. A thought ran through Gilbert's head about if he had children with Matthew.
Gilbert gently shook Matthew's shoulder, "Matthew time to wake up."
Matthew slowly opened his eyes, "Welcome back Gil."
"I'm here to get Sebastian."
"Give me a second."
Matthew moved a little and kicked the blanket away from him. He stood up with Sebastian in his arms and passed him to Gilbert. The albino shook his head and grabbed the blond's hand. He led Matthew up the stairs to his room. Gilbert led Matthew to the bed and got him to lie down and kissed him on the forehead.
"Night birdie," Gilbert whispered in his ear.
"Night Gilbert," Matthew whispered before falling back asleep.
Gilbert covered the sleeping male with the blanket before removing his glasses and walking downstairs. He turned off all the lights and appliances in the apartment before walking out on the balcony. When he closed the door he turned around and looked at the sky.
Too bad I have to leave; I would love to say here. Gilbert thought.
"Gilbert come on." He heard his group call.
He quickly changed forms and took off into the air. When he caught up with his group they traveled back to Hell. He traveled to the Soul Hall to drop off the ones in his backpack. Children's souls were supposed to be taken to a different world of Hell by their collectors. He unzipped his backpack and watched the different color souls travel to join the others waiting in the hall.
When that was done he flew through the sky with Sebastian still sleeping in his arms. He located the cave close to a lake that was the entrance to the Children's World. Going though it was like being wrapped in a warm blanket in mother's arms. The feeling was soothing. Sebastian awoke to see a rainbow of colors pass by him.
"Wow, where are we?" Sebastian exclaimed.
"We were going to Children's World." Gilbert said just as they hit the end, "Ah, here we are."
Gilbert stopped and floated in midair. Sebastian's eyes turned as big as saucers. The world was covered in rolling plains in at least a foot of bright green grass in at least twenty miles in diameter if not more surrounded by a mountain range. A large clear lake was in the middle with a sunken town below the surface. Numerous trees of all kinds scattered the land with numerous play structures.
"Can I go?" Sebastian pleaded.
"This is where you will be staying." Gilbert answered flying towards the ground.
"Really, I can't wait!" Sebastian started fidgeting in his arms.
"Then hold on I'm getting to the ground." Gilbert said tightening his hold on the boy.
When they got to the ground they were welcomed by a smaller submissive demon with numerous children surrounding him. Submissive demons usually take care of the children in shifts because of their nature to nurture children, even if it was not their own. The submissive had long black hair tied in a red ribbon with bright green eyes. His body was covered in a long white shirt and black pants, with his feet bare and his mark shown on his neck.
The submissive held out his hand with a smile, "Ready to go."
Sebastian clung to Gilbert's shirt, when he was put on the ground he clung to the elder's pants and shook his head.
Gilbert tried to push him forward, "Go on, no one is going to hurt you."
The children started to come from behind the black haired submissive and towards Gilbert. They started calling to Sebastian. Said boy's grasp started getting looser and looser. Soon he had let go and was walking to the other kids. Gilbert watched Sebastian as he took the caretaker's hand and started to walk off. He looked back at Gilbert before letting go of his hand and running back to Gilbert.
Gilbert couched down and was tackled by a hug, "What are you doing, don't you want to go when them."
"I do but promise me one thing." Sebastian said against Gilbert's neck.
"What, little one?" Gilbert said picking up the boy in his arms.
"Come back and visit me I'm going to get lonely, same with Matthew."
Gilbert pulled back and looked at him, "What about Matthew?"
"Don't you like him?"
"I do but why are you asking me this question?"
"Because he feels the same about you, you two would make a good family."
"I wish little one."
"Don't say that it could happen, just don't leave him he is already so lonely in that apartment."
"Trust me I won't forget about him."
"Pinkie promise," Sebastian said holding out his pinkie finger.
Gilbert took it with his own, "Pinkie promise."
