@ｔａｅｍｉｎ goes back to their home []

@ｃａｉ He didn't want to upset his cute kitten, so he revealed the name of someone who should not be named. It wasn't because that person was evil, but rather a past life thing. His name is Jiyong, and he happens to be my uncle. I know my family is a bit odd, but just wait until we have the announcement party. If you think things are strange now, they can only get more intense with our awkward family. However, I promise you that our whole family is built on love. While Darden may hold off the 1% for not liking Jungkook, the rest of us seem to get along well. Everyone would be interested in meeting you and getting to know you, as well as our children.

So, are you making something special and fancy for breakfast? I don't know if I should sit back and let my darling fiancé create a beautiful breakfast surprise for me, or if I should join in with our combined creativity. I'll do anything you need me to do, in fact, why don't you make breakfast while I watch? If you need me, just let me know.

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *with a sweet kiss that you returned with me and i pushed into the kiss to cause it to go deeper then what it was supposed to go. Pulling back as you continue to speak, I raised a brow as you spoke some names to me* glory... baekhyun?... *i was even more confused on what you were talking about and I shook my head at what you were saying but simply nodded, still unknowing who the others were. I ignored them for now as I pinched at your cheeks* i told you to tell me the name. *clicks teeth and moves getting up* aigoo. don't worry. I'm going to go make breakfast. I'm making something really fancy. would you rather wait or make it with me? *says and walks out the door heading down the hall and into the kitchen*

@ｃａｉ I couldn't even hold back how happy I was to see your adorable reactions - from the moment you got the ring in your hand to when you agreed with a nod and, after a second or two, said the sweet 'yes' I wanted to hear. A smile came to my face so hard that I thought my cheeks would break.


In a whirlwind of passion, heedless of caution, I surged forward, sealing our destiny with a joyous and ardent kiss, so fervent it bordered on devouring. Overwhelmed by the enchantment of that moment, I reveled in the wonder of the love-laden kiss bestowed upon you—a token of the bliss that awaited us.

With your affirmative words still echoing, I tenderly adorned your finger with two rings, symbols of our eternal bond. A matching set, crafted with care, awaited presentation, accompanied by a letter penned to immortalize the significance of our shared journey.

Gently, with adoration in every gesture, I caressed your hand, placing those jeweled rings with soft precision. Each , a whisper of affection, preceded a kiss—a testament to my love for you sure i said to what you said about telling you about he whom should not be named to witch i said / it may give you a bit of a shock to no the details and how this changes your idea of the family or the structure of it .... cause Baekhyun is not Glory's Son by birth he's actually mine and he who should not be named.

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *i listened to you and nodded at the parts that was needed to be nodded to. But i listened with intendment and understanding. And oddly I was not upset over the matter. Furthermore, I don't even know why i was so upset from before. It's not even that bad. But of course, I should have been able to decipher who was whom. But i guess it was the mere fact that if that's the case, You too looked much alike.*

No matter I should have known who was whom in such situation. *looks to you and nods while giving a small smile* of course I forgive you and I also forgive him. Like you said, he wouldn't even know who iam. Those feelings are not with and for me. It's for another. *says and looks at my hand* so, he shall not be named. *a small laugh escaped* you make it seem like we're watching harry potter. and we are talking about lord Voldemort. *chuckles a bit more and nods* but you do know i want to know who it is right? *moves to sit on your lap while you spoke on* i need to know who have concurred your heart before i took their place* don't worry I'm fine now. I won't get upset and now i think from that small moment within my head it helped. So.... im at peace with the situation. *arms went around your arms before they were stopped momentarily after. Looks at you and then looked down at what you had in your hand*

what's this? *my hand was gifted with said box and i turned it around and looked at it. Flipping it to see what the box was. *moving from your lap. I sat on the side to shake the box having this small puzzle of what it was. Never having to experience with something like this. I didn't know what it was. But seeing the small crease, I understood the assignment and was about to open it, But when your hand came up, i guess from witnessing the struggle of what i had at first. I gave to you to let you do what you needed to do. Seeing you get down on one knee. I raised a brow about to move you up not sure why you would get on your knee when i just spoken about forgiving you. But on top of that, I saw two gorgeous rings. A gasp hit my lips and hearing your words, Hearing your words, my eyes went open and i blinked baffled at what just happened.

This gesture taken me completely off guard and I grasped my chest with both my hands more in utter shock as one hand came up to my mouth more so so you wouldn't see my shocked mouth formation.

oh my gosh.... *i had to wait for my brain to catch on what was happening. I felt my chest beat rapidly. I felt it was going to come out of my chest. I was stricken a bit. But on such moment, I nodded as I couldn't come out with noise for my voice. But that turned into a small squeaked out a* yes. of course.

@ｃａｉ The kiss was warm and sweet, everything I wanted and everything I had missed. At that moment, I wanted it to last forever, and your words let me know that it would. I felt your fingers on my skin, and I cherished every moment of the contact of your touch. So much so that I closed my eyes, hummed and leaned into it. I could easily drift away in your touch, and I did not want to sully the moment with anything that would take us backward. I wanted to focus on going forward.
"My dearest love, I want you to know how sorry I am for everything that has happened. I deeply regret that I got locked away and couldn't be there for you when you needed me the most. I know how it must have felt to be alone and helpless not understanding why, and I cannot express how sorry I am for not being able to comfort you or call for help or show you that a past me did not know the Cai I love so much or he I would have never done those things to you to hurt you or to cause you pain and sorrow. I want you to know that I tried, every moment and every second, to get to you. Even though I couldn't physically reach you, I always kept you in my thoughts.

I realize now that putting the cribs in an endless void of a room was a foolish and unwise idea, and I am sorry for any discomfort or inconvenience my past self caused. I never want to be apart from you again, and I promise to always make sure there is no way for me to be trapped there me or you but while i was there our children was well taken care of i promise you but even for all the love i was able to give them i missed you all the way to the bottom of my heart Cai.
I know that I had a past with someone else when I was young and foolish. I came here without thinking about the harm it would do to us, and I regret that deeply. I don't even remember if I did it by mistake or not, or because I didn't know you yet. But what I do know is that all that matters now is that I am here with you, and I will never leave you. I love you more than anything in this world, and I want to always be loved by you. I never want you to feel that kind of heartbreak and pain again. My heart didn't even know what such pain was until I missed you with every inch of it. The past me was selfish and the past me did not know you so it you must blame someone blame me it was me even if it was the past me it was me and I never meant to hurt you like that because I did not know you where the one I would come to love so much That Taemin is barely over a teenage and still had feelings for he that should not be named. but who is before you who is holding your hand who is hugging you and who is loving you and who happy to be your love mate and partner is right here.
Taemin reached for a box he had left nearby and placed it into Cai's hand. He then got off the bed and knelt down in front of Cai. Taemin opened the box to reveal a dynasty set with new elements, as well as a platinum and gold ring set. Taemin spoke, "We have been together and have a wonderful family. I never did this properly, so, Cai, will you marry me?"

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *pulling back from the long-awaited kiss and with a small smile as my hands came to greet your face. Pulls your face back to mines as we took on a heated and engaged kiss yet again* you don't think that I have to do all that and the answer will be a 'no' do you? *says pulling from the kiss and holds the side of your cheek* you are all mines and i will definitely stay all yours.

*looks to you and I sighed softly and nodded* we should really talk... *pushes my hair back, there were cracks that showed. Looking at you* i'm willing to listen. *looks to my legs and then look back up at you. My hair going past my shoulders but still on the shorter side but long enough. *tucks the hair behind my ear* go on do explain yourself. please. *gestures for you to have the floor with my hand*

@ｃａｉ In the midst of Taemin's heartfelt expressions, his words hung in the air, suspended by a fleeting moment of realization. His eyes widened, pupils reflecting an ocean of love and joy that swelled within him like an unstoppable tide. A radiant smile graced his face, mirroring the overwhelming emotion that flooded his being.

Before he could fathom the intensity of this revelation, the world seemed to pause as your sweet, pink lips collided with his own. It was a tender kiss, deep and affectionate, a manifestation of the love he had yearned for since the very first moment his eyes met yours. Your embrace was a fervent declaration, as though time had frozen

It was a tender kiss, deep and affectionate, a manifestation of the love he had yearned for since the very first moment his eyes met yours. Your embrace was a fervent declaration, as though time had frozen
In that cherished moment, cradling his baby in his arms, you had flung yourself the separation of time without him had been as eternity, and you couldn't bear to be away a second longer. Your arms wrapped around him, pulling him close, and Taemin found himself irresistibly drawn into the warmth of your love.
A gentle smile played on his lips, a spoken agreement proclamation. "Please," Taemin said "my love, always be mine," your words had also echoed in the stillness of the room that was filled with all these loving emotions we both had for each other and the kisses were damn EPIC, Taemin's lips and heart responded with a promise that echoed through time. "My heart is all yours, for you, Cai. Love always and forever."As he held you in his arms, his fingers ran through the silky strands of your long hair, a tender caress accompanying the emotional crescendo of the moment. "I love you, Cai," Taemin whispered he did not no if he could stop hugging and kissing you but even as he did he felt the tears he wanted to cry just for having your love again back in his life.

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *cai looked at the male that was on side him. His face looked at taemin as if he was a ghost that had come back to life. A hand came to your chin and then your cheek and then your hair. A small smile plastered onto my lips that I saw you actually there in front. It was then that i looked down at your lips to see that you were talking. I don't know what you were saying as i watch those lips move. I happen to bite the bottom of my lips.

With my vision stirring themselves away to get clearer, I lifted up, and with your help, came to a seated positon. A small breath escaped and I watched you. Still semi coming to terms of you being real* is this reallyl..... *my voice trailed off and i leaned in pressing my lips to yours as I sighed into the kiss. But it was really more then a breath that sounded.

Arms wrapped around your neck and I i seem to have fallen onto you as you fell back on the bed. it was something like i threw myself at you. something a wife did when her husband was gone for years off at sea. and they greated the other with that type of greeting* My heart lies here with you... taemin. It will always be with you. *says between the kissing and tilts my head down to the side to make it deeper*

@ｃａｉ As Taemin anxiously waited, his heart pounded with anticipation, longing to witness the enchanting moment when his beloved Cai would open those precious eyes. Since the very inception of his consciousness, Taemin's sole desire had been to lay eyes on Cai, to decipher the emotions that lay beneath, and to assure himself that his love was safe.

As he gazed upon Cai, Taemin couldn't help but notice a peculiar mark on the neck, a mark that had caused him no small measure of concern during his waking moments. Strangely, that mark had now vanished, bringing a fleeting sense of relief. Yet, the worry lingered like a ghost, haunting his thoughts with the endless possibilities of what could have transpired in his absence.

However, a sudden surge of emotion overcame Taemin, and like a gentle breeze sweeping away the dark clouds of anxiety, his concerns dissipated. This transformation was swift and profound, especially as Cai's tender voice called out his name, a melody that resonated with the warmth of slumber. Without hesitation, Taemin cradled his beloved in his arms, brushing his thumb gently over Cai's cheek.

As he leaned in, a mixture of affection and yearning painted Taemin's expression, culminating in a tender nuzzle and a kiss that spoke volumes of the profound love he harbored in his heart. "Yes, my Cai, I'm here, my baby. Do you want to sit up? How do you feel?" Taemin whispered, his words echoing with a cascade of unspoken sentiments.

His gaze locked onto Cai, enraptured by the depth in those eyes, falling in love all over again with the entirety of his soulmate. "Let's start anew, my love. Let's give our hearts another chance at this beautiful dance of love, for I am nothing without you. I want to be yours, always," Taemin declared, the words flowing through him as though they were an essential melody, a symphony of reassurance that Cai desperately needed to hear.

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *cai was stuck in dream. It seemed as though that dream would last forever. Or, was it him hiding inside of said dream. Afraid of what would be on the outside of that dream. Cai was in a void of darkness. thus, his body was vivid and clear of what the mirror have come to make him what he is today. A broken piece ofnothing. The cracks flowed through his body, covering his full person and thus going up his neck and up to his face.

The cracks appeared with some lines of silver showing through his cracks starting to open and appear to be breaking off little chipped pieces of his face. Darkness continues to surround him. Cai was curled and his hair flowed as if he was under water. Cracks coated around his heart and cai groaned as it seem to have went around Cai’s heart constricting it. Making it harder for the other to breath. That’s when the other laid on side him in the real world. While all this was happening within cai’s dream. It was nothing more but the cracks starting to consume his flesh.

But on top of that, the other felt like he was about to break into a million pieces but it wasn’t until that moment where his hand was grabbed and kissed did it stir the sleeping male. Within his dream a flicker of a twitch happened awakening his mind within the dream that caused him to hear the other* "Cai, hey, Kitten." The voice spoke. But was unclear to him. A flutter came to his cheek, and the dream Cai’s head went towards the flutter, as so did his own head in the real world.

“My love, Cai, sweetheart. Hey, open your eyes. Wake up, baby Kitten." The voice called and at the moment that taemin’s soft lips hit that of Cai’s, A pulse attacked his heart that made him cringe from the pain that overtook it. Eyes of the dream Cai still close it was only a short moment of those words and pulse of his heart awaken the other to where Cai’s eyes slowly started to open in the dream. There in front him, a lighted figure coming towards him holding a rose. A smile plastered on his face as he handed the rose to Cai. “take it” the voice spoke and with a soft broken hand shook from being fragile and broken took the flower. It was a shatter that exploded through Cai and when the other became aware of the situation, his body began to uncurl and his foot came to stand where the other came and soon hands curved around the whitened figure and Cai brought his lips to the other as a form of wind gushed and light surrounded the two. Tears hit the other and then when he pulled back it was Taemin* “It’s about time You remembered who we are. Now, My dear kitten. Wake up” taemin’s voice echoed throughout Cai’s conscious and subconscious as Nothing too much a fancy moment happened. “But I’m scared to know what will come of us” cai spoke and taemin in dream smiled

“This is what we call, Adventure” he said and took hold of the youngers hand. “Let have a shot at second chance. I’m nothing without you. Now Please have me as yours” he said and pressed his lips to the youngers and within such moment, Cai’s eyes in the world began to open. No pain, no fear, Not even broken could show But peace appeared to the youngers face. The cracks shown through. And a soft voice called out to the other* taemin…..

@ｃａｉ Taemin's head no longer throbbed with pain; the fog that had clouded his mind had lifted. A small fear crept in as he thought about his heart and the pain that had vanished. However, his eyes found solace in Cai at his side, tears streaming down his face, real and unmasked. Cai appeared to be peacefully sleeping, and Taemin couldn't help but lean in and softly touch him.

"My love, I have no idea how we got here, and I was in no condition. I blacked out, so who... because I know you couldn't have. Look at you, and I feel your love flowing in my veins. Did I feed on you?" Taemin checked for marks, his body seemingly having taken over, but finding nothing. He then checked Cai's pulse; he was peacefully asleep, seemingly lost in a tranquil dream. Taemin gently took Cai's hand and kissed it, a silent promise never to harm him.

Feeling the urgency to communicate and mend the unsettling shift in their bond, Taemin murmured, "Cai, hey, Kitten." He conjured a soft rose in his hand, gently brushing it against Cai's cheek, hoping the gesture would anchor the purity of their love in Cai's consciousness. He pressed a soft kiss to Cai's lips and held his hand, calling to him with a soft, loving voice, "My love, Cai, sweetheart. Hey, open your eyes. Wake up, baby Kitten." Taemin's words echoed with the tenderness of a devoted mate, seeking the reassurance of Cai's awakening. He wondered what had happened to them but he could feel this was his second chance.

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *the struggle of the two didn't go unnoticed. A cloaked figure following the two had proved to prevail as the masked/ cloaked person moved to pick up the fallen vampire. the person pulled taemin since he was much heavier than they officially thought. From his size, they struggled to get him off the floor. With some struggling, the figure picked him up and placed in the bed that was right on side of his brotherly mate. A hand gone towards that of taemin's chest, and it was heavy. The feeling of a heavy burden he placed upon himself from the emotional impacted on.

the other made their way to grab some cool wet clothes to place on both heads. herbal tea was brewed and injected into that of cai and taemin. The two-lay side by side and with a swift motion of their hand a quick cut to cai's arm happened. it didn't seem like nothing but a short moment and slowly blood came from cai's arm and the masked person moved kai's arm to taemins lips for his blood to fuel his body. a squeeze and it came on more. It would help with the pain that taemin was experiencing. while it would weaken cai so that way the body would relax a bit more with less blood. it would always produce what was lost anyways and he wasn't missing like gallons of his blood so it was fine.

the masked person pulled a pin from their hair and moved to see the cracks of cai's neck and part of the body was coated with it* hmmm this is new... *the figure spoke and the voice sounding young, it looked in their book and thus they gotten some rocks and placed in a circle along cai's and taemin's chest with three rocks over taemins heart and each one served a purpose. As they were splashed with a serum the other produced.

the person mumbled something over cai and the rocks glowed and along with taemin . the figure pulled the cloak from it's head to reveal a handsome face. shoulder length hair* i see... *the rocks began shaking and a loud echo sound happened. like a monotone hum before the rocks flew off and embracing the wall with power to pierce and stick.

once the blood transfusion was given, the person rubbed the arm before the scare disappeared* you two better get your act together now. both of you* and you. father. you need to claim what's yours before his mindset change and stop over exhausting yourself. You should rest and tomorrow you both should talk this out. it's an infection. *the figured spoken and sighed* i can't do much but what ive done. .*the figure leaves after a few days of taking care of the two. exhaustion took them both over. when they began to stirr. the figure slipping into the shadows*

@ｃａｉ Taemin neared the house, the urgency ringing in his head like a sounding alarm. His heart, usually reserved for thoughts of Cai and their children, now throbbed violently. The pain and fear that echoed through Cai's emotions transmitted to him, creating an overwhelming ache. Taemin, who had never felt sick in his life, now teetered on the brink of fainting, the sensation of impending collapse lingering.

Arriving at a park, he spotted Cai in a secluded spot, a sight that transformed the pain into sheer joy. Without hesitation, Taemin shed his coat, more a fashion statement than a shield against the cold, and gathered up his mate. Acting on instinct, he cradled Cai in his arms, determined to bring him home.

"Mate, it's okay. I'm here," Taemin reassured as he rubbed the younger man's cheeks, his own hands and heart chilled. Walking back wasn't an option, so he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the two transformed into a cloud of bats, disappearing and reappearing inside their apartment.

Hurrying to warm Cai, Taemin removed the coat, only to notice marks that raised questions about the cause—was it the fear, the heartbreak, or the prolonged separation of their bond? As he tended to the confused and scared Cai, Taemin's heart burned like a flame. After nuzzling him and softly kissing him, his eyes betrayed the overwhelming emotions. Taemin collapsed to the floor, struggling to breathe, wondering if this was akin to a human's heart attack or the echo of what Cai felt.

"Cai~," he gasped before blacking out.

@ｔａｅｍｉｎ *move putting on darden's jacket to keep some of the cold out from my body. I held onto myself for extra warmth. I walked and semi running from the area, not wanting darden to try anything further from what had been done days ago. and thus hoping on the bus when other passengers hopped on as well. Coming back into the city, i hopped off and went into that of the park. I couldn't go home. not right now. My emotions were a wreak at the moment. It was happening so fast. I found myself a nearby area to keep the wind from hitting me. i sighed and hits my chest* what the hell is wrong with me?

*shivers and wanting to go home to my warm bed. I couldn't. Not right now. * amazing. i am running away from home. *says to myself and stays in the warmth area. only because the wind was starting to pick up. the cracks were starting to surround the back of my neck. again it wasn't shown but it began to peep on the other side of his neck* well in any cases, I hope you are enjoying the warmth of my home. Head into my legs as I had fallen to sleep*

@ｃａｉ Taemin, consumed with worry for Cai, knew his mate well enough to understand the tendency to bury himself in human activities when troubled. As darkness loomed, nearing 5 pm, a call from Darden brought some reassurance. "Don't worry about Cai; he's home now. If he leaves, I'll let you know," Darden assured.

Holding a small box in his hand, Taemin felt a pang of sadness, not due to Darden's words but because of the effort he had put into the evening—cooking, preparing a sweet dessert, and even acquiring a small box. As he opened it, he discovered the contents and swallowed his sorrow. Leaving the box on Cai's pillow, he forgot the ring box nestled within.

Days later, an uneasy call from Darden shattered the calm. "Cai left, but I sense dread and fear. He's not far from my home; he's walking. I just missed him." Taemin, fueled by a mixture of anxiety and love, set out to find his mate. He walked swiftly, his heart resonating with the shared mating bond, realizing Cai was closer to their home than Darden's.

As Taemin rushed back to the area, the stronger pull of the mating bond intensified his desire to find Cai. The ache of Cai's emotional turmoil pierced Taemin deeply. He longed to reach his mate, to hold him close, and alleviate the fear that gripped him. Taemin, bound by love and the shared connection, felt the hurt as his own—a profound ache that mirrored betrayal.

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ -three days later-

*jumping up with a gasp as I looked around. sweat covered my face and back and my bangs fell into my face. the end sticking to my face. Panting, I looked around as my vision blurred and i rubbed them away to get clear. This is the type of things I've come to experience. Yet again. It started when you left and I thought they were over but the nightmares are back. cracks creaking up the back of my neck going tino my hairline, but my long hair the cracks went unnoticed. But being in darden's home, the mirror that once held them before it tuned into that in darden's dark room it pulsated.

The room that was also in taemin's palace pulsated and the mirror in cai's home pulsated. looking around, he pushed his bangs back and closed his eyes calming his breathing after a moment I put my head into my legs and shivered a bit* i need to get going. I've been here for far too long. *leaves out grabbing darden's jacket and heading out. I didn't bother to say where i was going. I just left out. I needed to get out. and get away. it felt all too real. *says and get out of yours and caiya's place*

@ｃａｉ "I'll be that little husband," Darden's voice carried a sweetness that resonated with genuine sentiment. To him, Cai was more than just a claim made by Taemin; in Darden's world, Cai and Caiya were one. With conviction, he asserted his belief that Caiya was his, and consequently, Cai belonged to him. Disregarding Taemin's overarching claim, Darden brushed his hands over both bodies, ensuring their warmth and coziness in the bed.

As the air subtly shifted, Darden noticed a sound from Cai, an expected resistance to being told what to do. It was no surprise; both Cai and Caiya tended to resist being directed, expressing their displeasure with pouts and huffs. Darden, determined to provide a cocoon of comfort, snuggled even deeper, creating what could only be described as a mate sandwich.

Cai's protest surfaced, prompting Darden to lean over and inquire, "What, dear? Didn't I tell you to sleep and abandon the notion of going home and leaving us for today? You can escape before it gets too late tonight; I'll take you home." Darden assumed the issue lay in Cai's desire to return home, addressing it with a mix of care and uncertainty, not fully knowing what Cai's response would be.

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ *i wasn't ever thinking that something like this would happen and so as I moved walking as I rubbed at my arms as it was a bit of a nippiness outside and I looked around to see cars passing before suddenly a gasp hit my voice taking me baffled by what just happened. I don't even know what just happened besides the fact that i dropped into your arms. I clung for dear life as I didn't know what to expect and what to do. Groaning by what was done.

I was thus laid down and raised a brow as I was about to move up to get up* what are you do-... *my voice was cut off as a demand in dardens voice telling me to go to bed and to not move. I was about to move and speak telling him that i wasn't staying here, but that last statement. I heard him speak about malik and knowing from the past on what the other could have put him through. Cai's head was pulled him to his shoulder and a hand up to look up at the older* you are a rotten brother you know that? *says and is now full of warmth from caiya and then you and thus the covers. closing my eyes i did the only damn thing that i could have done. i went my to bed. Since i had no other damn choice. *i spoke and moved closer to him with a hand over his torso and since caiya was on side him i felt the belly of the other* ....... wait a minute...... *my eyes opened*

@ｃａｉ Darden observed every detail, his gaze shifting as he watched Cai's every step. At the opportune moment, he conjured a shadow portal beneath Cai's unsuspecting feet. The portal was too large to evade, ensuring Cai would descend into it. Darden, positioned over the bed with Caiya, opened his arms as a shadow enveloped over the bed.

Cai dropped down onto his arm, Darden, with the glow of his mating bond in his eyes and a mates demand and control, Pulling up the covers, he asserted, "Go to bed. Don't you move." Wrapping his arms around both versions of his mate, he arranged Caiya's pregnant belly on his side softly rubbing it laid the other's head on his shoulder.

With a sense of completeness, Darden nestled comfortably between his loves. "Sleep, and not another word out of you. If you move, don't forget I'm Malik's brother—I'll tie your to the bed with no escape," he playfully warned. Kissing them both, he snuggled down, embracing the warmth of their shared presence, drifting into peaceful slumber. he was going to get his way if he wanted it after all he was Darden demon and king of The Dark

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ *the more darden spoke, the more i was confused on what he was talking about and saying. But none the less I still answered to what he spoke and nodded when he told me to come to bed when i was done. I felt the feel of your hand to my hair, mind you that was still on the longer side but still short ever since caiya came from him, cai hair didn't go back to it's normal shortness. So when he touched his hair, cai didn't do anything, nor did he mind but it was nice to have the other playing with his hair. A small shiver hit me and I groaned when you moved closer to take in such scent and I turned to look at you*

hyung?.. *looks at you and then looked at then being nuzzled and everything with touching the hair, I felt my cheeks heat up just from those actions. I was unsure why i was experiencing those actions, but the fact that of it all, i was experiencing them. i again nodded at the mention of coming to bed when i was done and again that answered i gave him was the same. I nodded and turned to eat the remainder, but on top of that, i heard such words and why of all things I looked down at my belly and in fact feeling my belly wondering when we in fact actually had a baby coming* im not pregnant?.... am i? *i asked myself that question and confused i watched the male leave and now hitting me like a brick i had to think about the words me and us and baby.... forgetting all the fact about caiya for that moment....

what an interesting day... from this morning with taemin to later with you... when i was done. I looked at the room that was creaked open and i went into the room that had caiya sleeping and darden in bed as well. it was dark so i couldn't see as of yet since my eyes weren't adjusted and everything seemed darker then it should be. I shook my head* i can't. *i whispered and moved back to leave out of the room and head towards the door* thanks hyung. But I won't impose on you two. *says and leave out. Making my way towards the highway. Starts walking the road*

@ｃａｉ Darden swallowed, his gaze fixed on the other, feeling a rush of desire to touch. Knowing Cai was in a moment, he restrained himself, though the yearning lingered. "We just, ah, well, nooo~," Darden uttered as he got up, adjusting himself. Walking behind Cai, he leaned in and gently smelled his hair, noticing the subtle differences but reveling in the sameness—the same feel, the same voice. Gender seemed inconsequential; both were expressions of the same essence.

"Love, I see you're enjoying the soup. Did you try the tea? It's good too and will make you feel better," he suggested, still unable to resist the urge to softly brush Cai's hair. Expressing his love, he nuzzled Cai, saying, "When you're done, come to bed and rest a little, okay? Then we can go out and buy some things for our baby." Unintentionally blurring the lines between them, Darden spoke of their baby as if it were a shared existence—Caiya carrying it and it being both theirs. In Darden's multi-dimensional mindset, they were one person with two different awarenesses and bodies, sharing the journey of impending parenthood.

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ *cai hadn't caught on to what the other was implying. Since he was eating, it was more that he was on with the process and goodness of the food that he ended up forgetting what they were talking about. It's been a minute since taemin was home that the other ate since he was too much trying to understand the process of him being back and the fact that the feels were changing now that he was back. He wanted to hate him but yet he was happy he was back. he wanted to curse him but yet he ended up just observing his features. He wanted to escape him, but he always found his way back to him and close to him.

Things cai was trying to process and understand since it hit him in such a way. Cai looked around and groaned while eating. but it was a good groan the fact that he was eating. Cracks had breached it way towards the youngers neck making barely visible. He looked at darden to noticed his red face* hyung. you face is that of a tomato. how come? and since when do you blush like that? has something happened that i should be made aware of?

@ｃａｉ Darden sensed that, despite his sincere words and comforting gestures, the profound feelings his mate harbored were resistant to change. This only fueled his desire to go above and beyond for the one he loved. Gently rubbing his fingers, he expressed, "I don't know what would ease your pain, but I wish I could alleviate your burdens and bring happiness. Even if I could devour those troubling emotions, I fear they would return, haunting you even more. This is a matter between you and Taemin, and I know my brother loves you wholeheartedly. He'd endure any pain or suffering just to ensure your happiness. Try to find it in your heart to forgive your mate, and embrace the love you both share."

As the conversation shifted, Darden blushed, particularly when the mention of sleeping late in the morning arose. Despite not explicitly stating "we," he inadvertently hinted at an intimate connection by concluding, "It was a very passionate morning for us." Leaving the word "us" hanging, Darden created an understanding that extended beyond him and Caiya so he felt like he was telling Cai something ual about himself meaning Cai

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ *hearing what you spoke about I frowned even more as it was the fact that taemin told him the same story he told me. I ruffled my hair and looked at him* of course. *says looking at the other and then looking back at the food. I felt the hand that was on my hand and I closed my eyes and locked my hand with yours. I shook my head* no it's alright. i shook my head* ii wouldn't impose on you two. *closes my eyes* you think i wouldn't be feeling like this since where i came from. But strangely that is quite the opposite. strange how this works.

anyways. sorry for waking you. i know it's late... *looks at the clock and tilts head* hang on. why are you sleeping anyways? it's early in the morning. you should be awake starting the day. *questioned of curiousity hit and i turn to look at the food moving the spoon to take a sip of it* ohhh this is good. *gets some crackers to coat as my 'bread' or starch. eats instead of talking as it was good*

@ｃａｉ Darden appeared worried but he listened carefully to all that the other person had said. He softly touched the head of the younger and placed his lips gently on the other's neck, taking in a sip of the air around him. Two things became very clear to him: his heart was in pain due to longing and disappointment, which meant that Taemin had done something to upset their Kai. The other thing was that he was stressed and fatigued, as he wasn't getting any rest and hadn't eaten much. Eating too much food would make him sick.

"I will bring you some soup and crackers. Please take a seat here, and I will get some herbs for rest and stress. Most importantly, I know you're upset with Taemin, but I figured a long time ago that something was off. I got the call when he said he got out of the crib room trap. His other self had trapped him there. His main concern after being free was you. I told him not to rush, that this would happen. But do the elders ever listen to me? Only when they want something, or they have no other choice but to come crawling to my darkness for help."

Darden made the soup and crackers and set down the herbal tea that would help Kai. He then informed him that there was a spare room, but he was more than welcome to come sleep with them. In Darden's mind, it would be like sleeping in a bed with two versions of his wife. If Kai decided to nap in the other room, Darden would still bring him into theirs because he didn't want his beloved to sleep alone in their home it was as much his as it was Caiya and Caiya would not mind they seemed to like being close together like to parts of the same whole.

"Take your time to eat, and if you want to talk about anything, I'm right here," Darden said as he sat beside his love and held his hand.

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ *makes my way inside the door when it was opened. A small greeting, the other looked around and walked into the home while the other closed and I groaned softly while walking to the living room but on top of that i was grabbed and pulled closer* it's been such a long few weeks. At the question. I shook my head and gave a small smile* here, I just thought i'd probably crash here. since my place is being under reservation. *coughts and sighs softly* i feel dizzy

@ｃａｉ Darden woke up to the sound of tapping. It was far away, but as a demon, his ears were sensitive enough to hear it as if it was on the bedroom door. His body tingled slightly as he approached the door with a feeling of familiarity and a smile on his face. It was the same feeling he had woken up to right next to him in bed. As he opened the door, he saw Cai with bright and happy eyes, and he greeted him with a warm welcome. "Hello, dear. Welcome home. Are you hungry? I'll make you some food." Darden saw no difference between Caiya and Cai, even when they were in the same house and same room. However, he sensed that something was bothering his love, and he slowed down and got a sense of the feelings coming off of him. He pulled Cai close and asked, "What's wrong, dear? Tell me what's bothering you."

@ｄａｒｄｅｎ *makes my way to your home. walks and knocks on the door*

@ｃａｉ Sometimes I can be a really good in bed/ Malik thought to himself while looking down at his handy work the youngers back Trembling and hips dipping unable to stay on his knees at the very moment as the and stick flip was rocking his body the young was not ready for anymore, but Mailk would not be a complete he could hear the other even with his lips trembling and not even a sound but just hitched breath scream /WAIT DAMN IT WAIT DAMN OHHHH OOOOOOOOOO / So being the loving twin brother that he was he would wait for the young to at most say okay in his mind before starting on this new doggy style position he had going and really he could go at this for weeks darden may last a few days but to be on the safe side of keeping him able to walk and putting enough milk in him for a baby he would wrap up soon enough to let the younger roll around and bed and get all that milk of him in the right places to make a wonder and sweet new child with his brother Dardens Well ready to be an Umma again and this time he won't have to hide it or hide away in the shadows because he hasn't the energy to take good care of it / A soft rub on the thigh and the younger purked up /MMM Hmm okay here it comes / Darden thought Gussing the other was on the ready to start his all over again / Malik softly kissed the snow flake skin wile pulling out slowly and gliding him self back in building on that one long demon stock at a time to ease in the pleasure before he decided to break the younger in more ways then one including his back / YOUR EVIL THIS SLOW PACE MALIK / Darden said / you can all you want about slow now until you start ing about to fast later/ malik said with a Smirk.
