Love of the Damned (Part 10)

*Leon looks at himself in the mirror, feeling how huge he's gotten*

Eli: Can't believe we're expecting twins soon *wraps arms ard his belly*

Leon: 5 more months, Eli ^^

Eli: And Fai is roughly 1 or 2 month later than you ^^

Leon: I'm quite huge, ain't I?

Eli: You look cute like this *cuddles him*

Leon: *huggles him back*

Faira: *lies down on bed, his world spinning ard him*

Thill: Take it easy, hon

Fai: Ugh~! I should be over the trimester period. I still feel sick. It wasn't like this with Damien

Damien: Nyu~? *worried of his Mommy*

*The half-angel looks over the book, discovering something that really surprises him*

Eli: Anything your mom wrote that we should knw abt?

Leon: It says...if an angel were to drink it...they would lose their powers around the 3rd trimester.

Fai: What? I have to be mortal throughout my pregnancy?

ELi: Will he get it bk?

Leon: It seems like it *reads* Yes The minute he finishes giving birth, his powers will return

Thillius: No biggie. Leon and I can protect you

Fai: Thanks, guys. Now if you excuse me *reaches down for the potty under the bed and pukes his guts out*

Leon: Ooof. Thank goodess I'm over that

Thillius: *pats his husband's back*

Fai: *pukes for another 2 minutes before lying bk on bed and closes his eyes*

Leon: Ooof O_O It kicked

Eli: Reli? *reaches over to feel it. Another kick came* Hey, it did!

Thillius: *blushes and feels his friend's stomach*

Fai: It's reli big tho. Twins. That's quite a number

Leon: Tell me about it. It's rare for twins to be conceived by natural means

Fai: Maybe someone in Eli's family has the genetics of siring multiples

Eli: Well...I do have an aunt twice removed who gave birth to 3 sets of twins in her 10 year marriage

Thill: That explains it! *noogies Eli*

Eli: LOL! Hey, hey, hey, watch it! >.O LOL

*Leon heaves himself up and looks through his cd collection*

Thill: What kind of material you got there?

Leon: Nothing much. Mostly rock from 60s to now

Fai: *massage his temples* Got anything classical and slow? I need it right now to soothe my headache

Leon: Closest thing I got is soft rock

Fai: That'll do

*Leon puts in some music by The Eagles*

Fai: Mmh~ Feels so much better... *listens to the songs until he fell asleep*

Leon: Hehe

*Leon looked himself over in the mirror, knowing his due date is in a matter of weeks* Hey Fai?

Fai: *lying on the couch, trying to ride out the dizziness that still lingered* Yeah?

Leon: I was thinking...of the past deeds I did to you and Thillius two years ago. They still haunt me every night

Fai: Oh, Leon. We've been through this, remember? We're past all that. We're friends now, nothing else matters

Leon: *Sits down, heaving his heavy body on the couch* One thing that still got me...is during the maze incident. Almost got my wings burned off

Fai: That's Thili for you

Leon: Since I live in this fancy estate...I enjoy doing this from time to time...*he gets up and takes his shirt off, concentrating hard...he finally opens his silver wings*

Fai: *chuckles* Haven't seen this side of you in a long while. Unfortunately I can't do it. I'm still struggling to survive frm my world spinning like a carousel

Leon: *sits down, giving an herbal tea to his friend* This'll help. Oh! Luke should be coming by. *hears the doorbell ring* Speaking of him. *he reverts back and gets his shirt back on, heading to the door*

Fai: *sips the tea, feeling a little better*

Leon: *he opens the door after looking through the peekhole* Cmon in, Luke

Luke: *entered the house* Hey guys

Fai: Hey, Luke

Leon: Cmon in, Luke. Thillius and Elijah went out to get pizza and soda

Luke: Cool. How's the baby doing for you, Fai?

Fai: Ugh, not good. I swear I will cherish my God-given powers forever

Leon: Yea, the potion I gave him neutralized his angelic powers

Luke: Dang, that must be tough. So no super powers till the baby's born eh?

Leon: So Thillius has to fill in a bit...I can help a bit...*winces as he sits down*

Fai: You OK, Leon?

Leon: The twins are kicking my butt

Luke: *LOL* Must be a feisty one

Leon: Yes they are ^^

Trish: *is in her playpen with Damien*

Damien: *stacks blocks with his mind powers*

Trish: *starts joining him*

Leon: Looks like those two are having fun. *The halfie lays back against the couch, his midsection bulging out from his shirt*

*Meanwhile, with Elijah and Thillius as they wait for the pizzas*

Thill: Hey, Eli.

Eli: *scanning through the menu seeing if they needed more* Yeah?

Thill: Tell me exactly...how did you meet Leon? And please don't tell me "It was love at first sight" or some shit like that. *lights a cigarette*

Eli: Well technically it is, but you prefer something more elaborate, it's because he saved me from being raped

Thill: Raped?

*Flashback mode*

Leon: *is walking to his estate after an acoustic performance at a local nightclub. He hears loud shouting nearby and checks out to investigate

Thug: Hey there, cutie. Wanna hang out with lil ol me?

Eli: Hey, if you think I'm some kind of prostitute, you got me wrong, buster

Thug: Ooh, tough guy, eh? Let's see you being bad-ass when I'm done with you *pinned Eli onto the ground*

Eli: Hey, what the-! Let go of me~!!!

Leon: *thinks: Great, a human who can't keep his dick in his pants.* *Leon heads over and taps the thug on the shoulder*

Thug: *turns to see Leon* Ah, the lame musician. Mind your own fucking business

Eli: *holds onto his torn clothes, whimpering*

Leon: I suggest you leave the young man man along or else, you'll be knocked into a wall in two hits

Thug: Oh yeah? *faces Leon* I'd like to see you try

Leon: *throws his guitar into the air. Instantly before the thug could blink, Leon delivers a sweep kick, sending the thug off his feet and Leon then executes a thrust punch, knocking the thug into the nearby wall, catching his guitar* There

Thug: @_@ *KO*

Eli: *blushes in admiration at the sight* W-Woah... H-How did you do that?

Leon: Oh, you won't believe me if I told you. *looks over the boy's condition* Mind coming to my estate

Eli: Uh, uh, um...sure... *straightened his clothes and followed after him* BTW...thanks, Mr...?

Leon: Leon...Leon Samson

Eli: Elijah Thames. Don't ask me why I got Thames for a last name. Some ancestral thing *rolls his eyes*

Leon: Same here. I'm a descendant of the artist from the 1930s...the one who was mysteriously murdered on Halloween, 1939

Eli: I know her. I've learnt it in Historical Arts in class. Jada Samson, right?

Leon: Yes.

*they reach the gates of Leon's home, catching Elijah's sight, amazing him*

Eli: O_O Woah~! Nice digs~!

Leon: Thanks. Cost me a couple mil, but what the hey. *he punches the buttons, opening the gates, allowing him and Elijah to go through as the gates close behind them, walking their way inside*

Eli: *follows behind him, admiring the sights*

*Leon closes the door, locking it behind them. he hangs up his jacket, takes off his shoes and socks. He carefully puts his guitar by the couch and lays down* what a day...So you, want to know how I was able to beat that thug?

Eli: Um, yeah, if you're willing to tell me, I'm willing to listen

Leon: Promise not to tell anyone? Okay?

Eli: *nods*

*Leon undoes his shirt, showing his physique to the young human. He concentrates hard and finally summons his signature silver wings*

Eli: O_O WOAH!

Leon: Recognize the design of these wings?

Eli: I've seen them in biblical pictures...But never in real life...You're a half-breed?

Leon: You're very sightful, how can you tell?

Eli: Well, in most biblical pictures I see, real angels always have this sort of bluish tint, and yet...yours is silver

Leon: Yes *flaps one of his wings* I'm the son of the famous Archangel, Michael

Eli: *fell onto his knees, weak with awe*

Leon: *goes to him, making his wings vanish* I take it you're a Christian

Eli: More or less. Woah...Didn't think I'd see a real life angel. Well, a half-breed, but still...Wow, angels and demons DO exist

Leon: Yes, they do. God and the Devil...they're real too.

Eli: Woah...This...This is so much to take in...

Leon: Cmon, let's get you some new clothes

Eli: *nods and follows behind Leon*

Leon: *looks through his drawer looking for clothes*

Eli: *blushes as he held onto his own torn clothes, covering himself as much as possible*

Leon: Here you go. ^^

Eli: *blushes* T-Turn ard. I wanna change

Leon: Okay. *leaves the room and gets some dinner cooked*

Eli: *done changing and came out, smelling dinner* Mmm, something smells good

Leon: Thanks. *Is cooking his favorite chinese cuisines*

Eli: *watches Leon cook* What are you cooking anyway? *rarely sees chinese food*

Leon: Chinese food. Learned this in the 1950s

Eli: Nice. Is it done? I actually haven't eaten anything yet

Leon: Almost. ^^ Smells great, doesn't it

Eli: *takes a whiff* Mmm... totally

Leon: *gets the chicken covered in a great brown sauce

Eli: *watches Leon do his thing*

Leon: There we go. General Tso's Chicken and white rice *serves a plate to his guest and one for himself*

Eli: General who?

Leon: Tso's. Go ahead and have some

Eli: *scoops the rice with the sauce and ate it* O_O It's...It's delicious!

Leon: Try the chicken with the sauce on it. ^^ It's zeisty

Eli: *does as Leon recommended* You're right, it is zeisty!

Leon: I love spicy food ^^ Hehe You're...blushing, Eli

Eli: Umm...Am I?

Leon: *points to the mirror besides them, showing a reflection of both of 'em*'

Eli: *looks at his reflection. There was a healthy tint on his cheeks* Yeah, you're right. Woah, that's embarassing

Leon: Hey, it's okay. So, where do you work at?

Eli: I'm still studying part-time, earning my degree while I'm working as a full-time interior designer. I'm into art, mostly, so... *feels his heart thumping wildly whenever Leon look straight in his eyes*

Leon: Well, I'm majoring in art and music. Hoping to work as a fashion designer

Eli: Oh really? *tries to look away, his face getting redder*

Leon: Yea, Im hoping to become a fashion designer for the two best models out there right now

Eli: Really? Do you knw who they are?

Leon: Thillius and Faira

Eli: *not reli listening n didn't realize Leon was mentioning Faira, his old crush and fellow Japanese tuition classmate, bcoz he was totally immersed in Leon's aura*

Leon: Elijah...*snaps his fingers8

Eli: *He didn't knw wat came over him. As soon as Leon snapped his fingers he reached ovr out of impulse and kissed him deeply, taking him by surprise*

*Leon widened his eyes, surprised that Elijah made the surprise kiss*

Eli: *kisses him for quite a while before breaking off. Realized what he's done and got up* I-I-I'm sorry. I-I dunno wat came ovr me, I...I better go now *made a run for it*

Leon: *grabs his hand* Wait

Eli: *stops at his tracks* I'm sorry...You rescued me, and...and I took advantage of you...I...

Leon: *takes him close and kisses him tenderly. He was told one day by an angel of love that he would meet someone that he'd rescue...someone he'd spend the rest of his life with*

Eli: *surprised by the kiss, but eased in slowly*

*back to the present*

Thill: So, that's how you two met?

Eli: Yup. More or less *the order came in and they both left the store*

Thill: Amazing, an angel of love told Leon he'd meet someone like you.

*Back at the estate, Luke is giving Leon and Faira their check-ups*

Leon: How are they, Luke? Sense anything?

Luke: Well, thanks to my training in medicine aside frm being an exorcist, I can see that you're all doing pretty fine. You may have a little bit of the extended version of morning sickness, bt ur good

Fai: Thank goodness

Luke: Your kids are fine too. I would probably predict them being born sometime next week. So be prepared

Leon: I will be. I'll make something to suppress my powers during birth, that way, damage would be down to a minimum

Luke: Better yet, here *presents him with a sort of crown that is made of incantations*

Leon: What does this do?

Luke: It's basically like a power limiter that will suppress your powers, even keep it till null. That way there will be totally no damage

Leon: Thanks Luke. ^^ That might work better.

Thill: We're back!

Fai: Hey there, hun

Eli: Hi, guys. Oh, hey, Luke

Luke: Yo

Leon: Hey, baby. Hey Thill!

Eli: *puts the stuff on the kitchen table* I brought the food

Fai: *groan* Can I not eat?

Luke: You have to eat something. It's for your baby's sake

Leon: Agreed. *pats his friend's stomach* He or she is gonna grow to be strong

Fai: Alright~ I'll just have one piece of pizza and the soup then -_-"'

Leon: *helps himself to two slices of pizza and a couple breadsticks with marnera sauce* Smells great!

Thill: It was worth a half-hour wait

Eli: Help yourself, Luke. We've got plenty to go ard

Luke: Don't mind if I do * helps himself to garlic bread*

Thill: *helps himself to the pizza and gets plate for his husband* There ya go, Fai

Fai: Thanks, love *nibbles at the pizza slowly*

Leon: *the pregnant half-angel takes a bite out of his pizza* MMMM ^^

Thili: How is it, Fai?

Fai: *not reli eatin, still nibbling at the crust of the pizza due to his morning sickness* I can't reli eat much. I'll just take my time

Leon: *is devouring his food like mad*

Thili: Damn, Leon

Leon: *finishes his food* ^^ All better.

Fai: *chuckles, then tries to eat a little more bt ends up puking again*

Eli: Oh boy...

Thili: Fai! *helps him*

Eli: Maybe he should keep away frm solids and have fluids instead * helps him to the bed*

Thili: s his husband as well*

Fai: *groans as he lay dwn on bed* I'm reli hoping my powers come bk

Thili: *strokes his head and kisses him* They will

Eli: We'll leave a little soup later on, aye?

Fai: *nods n curls at one side, trying to ride the nausea*

Leon: *waddles to the room, walking by a mirror, looking at himself*

Eli: *follows after n hugs him frm behind* You're beautiful, my lion

Leon: Thanks Eli. *rubs his revealing stomach*

Eli: I hope we will have a son this time. One as cute as Damien

Leon: *Smiles* It doesn't matter to me what our baby is..as long as it is healthy

Eli: True. But it wouldn't hurt to wish *nuzzles Leon*

Leon: I know Eli. OOof >.<

Eli: Baby kick?

Leon: *smiles and nods. Places Eli's hand on top of his stomach*

Eli: *feels the kick again n smiles* Hey there, baby. It's ur daddy

Leon: *lifts his shirt up for him* There we go

Eli: *presses his ear against the belly* Daddy's here, baby

Leon: *the baby inside of his womb kicks against Eli's ear*

Eli: *chuckles* My, my, you got a strong kick

Leon: Got that from....uh...

Eli: From who? Hmm?

Leon: Probably me

Eli: You are always the fiesty one among us *chuckles*

Thili: You got that right

Eli: How's Fai?

Thili: He's sleeping now

Eli: I hope he'll be alright. Makes me feel almost bad to have him take the potion

Leon: I feel worse. But at least he won't become a forsaken

Eli: A forsaken?

Leon: It's when a pure angel gets overcome with the seven sins

Thili: Fai nvr had that problem before. Well, almost, wen he was pregnant with Damien. You should've seen the way he cursed n swore n had that crazy temper. I was horrified

Leon: Can I become that, Thili? Cause I never got the black hair or anything at all

Thili: You're half-human, so you are not prone to be a forsaken because ur already entitled to indulge in the seven sins like all humans do

Leon: I haven't done anything. Well, except showering my wrath on demons. IF that counts

Thili: Then you're as clean as a whistle, my half-breed friend

Leon: *Sighs with relief* There's something I want to show you two

Thili&Eli: Huh?

Leon: *leads the two men to a secret he kept over the years*

Thili&Eli: *looks at each other then looked at wat Leon had to show them, eager to find out*

Leon: *turns on the light and it reveals an vast collection of memorablia from his years in the wars he fought*

Thili: Woah! Far-out!

Leon: I fought in both World Wars, Vietnam War, and the Korean War

Thili: Woah, I've been as far as the war in Nam, and I met Fai a little bit before the first World War, bt we nvr fought them

Leon: *sighs* I was there when Pearl Harbor was struck

Thili: We nvr fought the war, Fai dun like 'em, bt I do have my share of influencing them

Leon: I heard Eli: *chked out the stuff in wonder*

Thili: I was still a bit of a bad apple back then, so yeah...

Leon: *goes and looks at a military helmet he used in Vietnam* this still looks good after 30 years

Thili: *takes it* Nice. Hadn't seen this in a long time

Eli: Cool!

Leon: *points to a hole in the top of it* That's where I got shot

Thili: Ouch! >.O

Eli: OMG! *chks Leon's head* Did it hurt? Got any scars?

Leon: Not really. It just stung a bit

Thili: Did anyone notice u with a hole on ur head?

Leon: Nope. the wound healed pretty quick. They think the bullet bounced off the helmet

Eli: I guess, bt did ur wound heal ovr the bullet or something? Is it still in ur head?

Leon: Naw, I took it out when no one was looking

Thili: Thank goodness for powers frm heaven n hell

Leon: Thank goodness for my heritage

Eli: I still can't believe u've been thru all this, even u as well, Thili

Thili: That's wat u get for us being immortals

Leon: I'm a kid compared to you and Faira. I'm only 90 years old

Thili: Technically if u've fought the first World War, then u should be somewhere in ur 100s right now

Leon: True. *forgets his age sometimes*

Eli: I don't care how old u are. Ur still my lovely little lion *hugs Leon*

Leon: Don't you mean big lion?

Eli: *grins* Maybe

Thili: *chuckles* You guys are just so sugary sweet sometimes

Leon: Is that a good thing or a bad thing, Thilius

Thili: I meant it as a good thing, don't get me wrong

Leon: Hehe. For a minute there, you sounded like you were drunk like during New Year's. I beat ya

Thili: Ha ha, gotta admit, u youngsters are better drinkers than me, bt I can still be up for the challenge anytime

Eli: Anytime AFTER my lion has given birth, thank u vry much

Leon: Well, I used to do contests a lot and win bucks. Ooof. It moved again

Eli: *rubs the belly* Be good, baby. Dont hurt ur papa

Leon: Wanna say hi, Thilius?

Thili: *smiles n touch the belly* Hey, kid. Here's ur Uncle Thili

Leon: ^^ *sits down and allows Thilius to touch his stomach*

Thili: Ur gonna share almost the same birthday with my kid sooner or later *rubs the belly some more* I hope u look forward to that, kid

Leon: Me too! ^^

*Damien and Trisha are in the playpen, playing their toys in peace*
