Sugar Rush15

Lord D smiled as he ran his hand along his son's stomach, “It's official child, you are one month along, eight more to go.” D smiled and looked over at Leon who winked and grinned.

“When will he get round?” Leon asked placing is hand on D's still flat as a board tummy.

“Soon enough,” Lord D could not help but chuckle at Leon's enthusiasm. Sofu had returned to Chicago with Aurora last week and the shop had returned to some semblance of normalcy. D was running the shop again; Leon frowned as he recalled that Randolf was still doing the investigation for any of the murders that came up. It was almost amusing to Leon that Randolf made it a point not to touch D. He seemed wary, especially since the last time he was in the shop accusing D of murder, D had said plainly in his coldest voice, “you make me nauseas.” Randolph had taken three giant steps away from D and left the shop soon after, he hadn't been back in a week.

“I've been meaning to talk to you both about Hama,” Lord D said. D halted in the midst of putting his robe on. Leon's fingers clenched on the sleeves as he remembered the hand prints that had been left on D's body. “Before he left, father and I came up with a plan that will make sure that he is unable to touch you again.” Lord D said to D with a smile. “As your father I have paternal rights to you, when I gave up those rights, your grandfather received them naturally. If we both give up those rights to you we can give you to Detective Orcot. The rules will change as the relationship changes. As the rules stand now, no other Kami can order you to do anything and they do not have the right to force you to be a human or…anything else,” Lord D paused and looked away from his son's gaze. “As your relationship with Leon stands, no one would have the ability to touch you intimately.” Lord D blushed and smiled, “It would be impossible for him to force you.”

“So when can this be arranged?” Leon asked enthusiastically.

“It has to be done by special permission since we are both giving up our rights, and ordained by the King. He is very busy right now and the soonest time would be next week at your ceremony, since it was already in his schedule.” Lord D said. “Is this acceptable to you?” He said looking deeply into D's eyes.

D smiled and nodded almost as enthusiastically as Leon. “Not only will Hama- not be able to force me, but no one else will, correct?”

“That is correct, not that it was too easy before with your exceptional skills, but with your condition, I fear you do not have the stamina…” Lord D paused at Leon's smug look when he mentioned D's stamina. “To fight,” Lord D finished and began to put away his stethoscope.

“But wait!” Leon said panicked, “I'm mortal, what happens when...” Leon did not get a chance to finish as D kissed him soundly. Leon placed his hands gently on D's arms and held him away, “D, baby, we have to talk about it, it will happen.”

“In the event of your death,” Lord D said softly. “D will return to the protection of his family, as well as your child, if he chooses an immortal life.” Lord D said. “Child I know it is hard to accept, but your life span is naturally longer than Leon's, it is too late for you to choose a mortal life, your body has lived beyond that normal life span, I would think you would appreciate it, for you would have died centuries before he was born otherwise, and you would be incapable of carrying your child.” Lord D said gently as D fought mightily against tears. Lord D sighed as Leon pulled D into his arms. “Oh child…I know it is hard right now, but…”

“Please father, there are no words that will make this sense of impending loss vanish. Leave me for a while I beg you.” D stood and left the room. Leon knew he was headed for his garden; it was where he always went when he needed to think. Leon sighed and left the room, he had thought to follow D, but thought better of it and decided to leave him alone as he had requested.

Andy found Leon sitting alone thinking, she placed a hand on his arm “I'm sorry, I nearly read you with out permission, would you like to tell me what is bothering you?” Andy removed her hand and sat opposite Leon, he looked at her tummy which had grown considerably rounder as she entered her fifth month of pregnancy.

Leon looked up into her deep brown eyes, “It's D,” He said softly. “He is having trouble with the fact that I am mortal. I can't change that fact, I don't know that I would want to, but I don't want to ever leave his side.” Leon frowned, what he wouldn't give for a cigarette right now, but he thought of D and of Andy and their children. “You know, Lord D referred to our child as Him, you think he knows something?” Leon tried to lighten the frown that marred Andy's face.

“Who knows what Lord D knows? Well,” She said with a smile, “God knows, but he isn't talking.” Andy smiled, “If you ever have a secret, he's the best person to tell it to.” Andy stood and left Leon confused.

February 13

JJ was amazed that he had entered the Princess' room at the shop through one door, walked through the room to another door and had ended up in a magnificent hallway. How were they not in a closet? He looked around in awe that he was indeed in a palace. The marble floors shone as if they were polished on a constant schedule. He noted a smallish man in all white with dark brown hair walking barefoot down the hall. JJ blinked, why was the Arcadian King always barefoot?

“He dislikes shoes; they are not something he wears in his natural state and so are beyond foreign to him.” Lord D answered the unspoken question. JJ nodded, he had gotten used to Lord D's ability to read what he was thinking, which is why he had become careful about what he thought about. He refused to allow it to bother him that since that one time, Lord D had not tried to kiss him again. Had he been on pain medications? JJ looked up to find Lord D gazing at him. JJ looked away and went to stare at a painting on the wall of the queen surrounded by her garden.

The painting was exquisite; he could not say the queen was in her garden, for the garden seemed to be clamoring for her attention. “That was the intent of the painter,” Lord D said deciding that this was a subject that would not make JJ uncomfortable. Lord D placed a hand on JJ's arm, “it was painted by High Prince Daphnus, if you look hard enough, the flowers seem to flow in the wind, quite a talent he has.”

“And so pretty too,” Lord D looked up and raised a brow at Daphnus who bowed low and grinned unrepentantly. Lord D bowed, “welcome JJ, to our fair chateau, I trust you will enjoy your stay.” JJ nodded and looked over to where Leon and D were sitting. Daphnus' smile broadened, “I come on a mission from none other than High Princess Andromache herself,” Daphnus said and marched over. He took D's hand he pulled D to his feet despite Leon's protest. “You will see him tomorrow at sunset.”

“Of all the,” Leon blustered. “What if he gets sick in the middle of the night?” He demanded belligerently.

“I can massage the cramps away.” Lord D said, Leon glared at him in a you-are-not-helping-the-situation- kind of glare. Lord D suppressed a grin and tried to ignore his son's pout. It had become increasingly harder to deny him anything he wanted, all Lord D had to do was remember that D was carrying a child and he would melt like soft butter and give whatever it was he wanted. Daphnus gave Lord D a stern look and Lord D stiffened his spine. “Come now child, there is much to do and not much time with which to do it.” Lord D winked at Daphnus and paused as a newcomer to the room pouted at D. “Jhaymes, how nice to see you again.”

Leon remembered the young man with green and black hair from the New Year's party; he smiled and reached for his hand. Dee placed his hand on Ryo's back and glared at Jhaymes. Jhaymes ignored Leon's hand and marched to D. “From the first day your grandfather brought you to master Xi for training I have wanted to do this, and in exactly twenty four hours I will lose the ability to, so bear with me.” Jhaymes said without preamble he grasped D's hips and pulled him forward. Jhaymes planted a scorching kiss on D before he was shoved back by D. Jhaymes grinned and stuck his tongue out at Leon. Leon marched forward only to be halted by Jhaymes limbs vanishing on a puff of smoke and feathers of flames took over. His entire body vanished and a majestic bird of flame leapt from the balcony and flew away.

“So that's what he meant by playing with fire,” Ryo mused. “If he was so heartbroken over D, why the hell was he bothering me?”

“What he carried for my son was lust, not love, his heart belongs to another tragically,” Lord D said, “Come child, your grandfather is waiting.” Lord D urged D to the door. D paused and stamped over to Leon. He glared over his shoulder at his father before he stood on the tips of his toes and pressed his lips to Leon's. Chris made a face and frowned at Bikky. Carol sighed and wished for the day when Bikky would love her the way Leon obviously loved Count D. Leon lifted D from his feet and held tightly.

-What is the difference between love and lust- Chris asked as Leon sat D back on his feet.

“Love is a feeling that grabs your heart and nothing else can get in.” Carol said dreamily as she stared wide eyed at Leon. She had not realized that she heard Chris speak for the first time, on Arcadia; his thoughts were loud and clear.

“Love can be like that,” Jill said, “but it also gives you someone else to care about, someone to care about you.”

“Lust on the other hand; is just wanting to jump someone and do perverted things to them,” Bikky said and frowned over at Dee. “Sometimes, like with D and Leon, love comes first, and then,” He rolled his eyes at Dee, “It's reversed and some people get jumped and shoved to the ground and felt up.” Dee scuffed Bikky's head and winked at Ryo.

“But,” Ryo amended, “some people only respond to love.”

-Looks like bro has a mixture of both- Chris said as Leon's hand trailed over D's back as he was pulled from the room By Lord D and Daphnus.

“I'd say it goes both ways,” Lord D grumbled and shut the door firmly behind them. “You will see him again tomorrow at sunset.” Lord D said to D who grinned shamelessly and whistled as he walked quite cheerfully down the hall. Lord D frowned at his son and went to help him try on his formal cheongsam one last time.

Nestoir smiled as he walked into the room that Leon, Ryo, Dee and the young boys had been given for the night. “Instead of a bachelor party, I have been charged, along with Daphnus and the other Arcadian princes, with entertaining you for the rest of the night. So we thought a ride would be in order, why don't you follow us to the stable?”

“I don't do so well with horses,” Ryo said sheepishly.

“You don't know how to ride?” Daphnus said with no small amount of feigned amazement. Ryo narrowed his eyes. Daphnus laughed, “Really, you will enjoy this. Come on,” Daphnus chuckled at Ryo's chagrined look. They reached the stable and Ryo thought he would pass out as he was left on a Pegasus by himself. Unlike when they had rescued D, when he had doubled with a royal who could control the beast. He looked over and noted that Chris and Bikky had the benefit of riding double with Nestoir and Daphnus. Leon looked completely comfortable on Carious, a unicorn with large eagle wings. Her white pelt made the other's seem to dull in the moonlight.

“Shall we?” Nestoir said and gently squeezed Bellenos, his Gray Unipeg, in the sides. At this signal, the other's leapt into the sky. Ryo bit back a yelp and held on with all of his might.

D had never seen a lovelier cheongsam than the one Leon had gotten him for Christmas. He turned in front of the mirror and smiled as Andy held his hair up in several different ways. She opened her mouth to say something but squealed instead and backed away holding her tummy. Lord D was at her side instantly. “Is something wrong, are you in pain?” He asked as he ran his hands over hers where they rested against her small bulging tummy.

“I think it moved, it did, it moved, the baby moved,” Andy giggled excitedly, "wait till I tell Nes,” She tossed her arms around Lord D who indeed felt her tummy squirm. D placed his hand near his father's and smiled as he was rewarded with a small wiggle.

“Looks like the cutie will be just as excitable as its mom,” Chimaera said as she walked over. Lord D waited till they were all sitting around talking to pull D away from the group.

D looked questioningly up at his father. “I wanted to give this to you a while ago, it was…” Lord D paused and blushed as he held up an object wrapped in a silk handkerchief. “It was your mother's, she was wearing it the first night she came to me,” Lord D looked away as he placed the handkerchief into D's hands. D looked away from his father as he seemed to need a moment to compose himself. “I can not say that I loved her. For I did only love Hama, but I did care for her, and I am sure, that had she lived, she would have cherished you, and she would have wanted you to have it.”

D was careful as he unfolded the handkerchief and gasped when he revealed a sparkling diamond hair pin. It was in the shape of a double flowered peony. “Thank you father, it's beautiful.” D said and wiped a tear that fell from his eye as he thought that his father had kept this for so many years.

“So are you,” Lord D said and walked to the balcony enjoying the frigid night air. He ignored the grin from his father who had seen JJ walk to the same balcony, less than five minutes ago. D composed himself and placed the hairpin with the set of jewelry that he would wear tomorrow night.

JJ gazed at the snow that covered almost every inch of available land except in patterns where walkway's had been prepared. “It will be a beautiful service tomorrow,” JJ said without looking up.

“I am certain it will be,” Lord D agreed he stood right beside JJ and waited for him to turn around and give him his full attention. JJ' waited, he dared not get his hopes up. He felt he had been brought along as mere protection alone. “Chimaera would light the place ablaze if anyone tried anything, and Clarisande is quite the accomplished witch, Tisiphone's job is vengeance angel, and the twins are a force to be reckoned with. I don't think they need your help. You are here because I requested it.”

“Stop reading my mind,” JJ said softly still without looking at Lord D. “Were you upset that I touched your side, I swear I did not mean to hurt you I…” JJ got no further as Lord D lifted his face up and kissed him. JJ paused, his breathing, his very heartbeat seemed to stand still as Lord D explored his mouth. JJ inhaled and his tongue joined Lord D in a passionate duel. JJ's arms crept around Lord D and held tightly. Lord D placed his hands on JJ's waist and pulled him forward. “Ah… D-Chan,” JJ moaned as Lord D's lips traveled to his neck and his hands skimmed over JJ'S backside.

Lord D smiled and backed away, he turned back to the brilliant night sky. Several large beasts could be seen in the distance flying among the stars. “The guys are out for a moonlight ride among the stars, would you like to join them?”

JJ blushed, “I already have,” JJ said and leaned weakly against the railing while waiting for his knees to regain the ability to support his weight. Lord D grinned and decided to make the process a bit longer. He placed his lips lightly against JJ's and slid his tongue along the outside of them. JJ opened his mouth to allow for entry and sighed as Lord D did no more than trace the outside of his lips. JJ whimpered as Lord D pressed firmly against him and backed away. “Come on, looks like they are playing some silly game with my son, shall we join them?” Lord D said calmly. JJ stared at him incredulously before he followed him into the opulent room where he saw D blindfolded and trying to figure out among a bunch pf men's shirts, which one was Leon's. Lord D laughed as D picked the correct shirt.
