Happy New Year 2021 !
Just like an “I love you” that isn’t words, like a song he wrote that’s never heard.
…
Shut up, I’m mourning.
It wasn’t unusual for Crepus to tuck his boys into bed with a bedtime story. Nor was it unusual for the eldest child to mischievously grin and squirm around demanding for more stories or give some other attempt to keep Crepus there longer in order to stay up even a second longer than normal.
“I’ve already told your three stories, Diluc,” Crepus had to bite back his smile in an attempt to be stern. “It is bedtime.”
“But—!” The child’s little red eyes darted around the room as though to find the excuse he needed to keep his father there and the light turned on. “But you haven’t had a story yet!”
“I haven’t had a story?” Crepus couldn’t bite back the smile anymore. “And who is to read me MY bedtime story? Surely not Adelinde or Elzer.”
“We are!” Diluc proclaimed loudly, dragging the other boy into his shenanigans.
The little blunette’s free eye popped open, from under the duvet he was snuggled under. A surprised squeak given.
“Oh you two, eh?” Crepus gently nudged the smaller child with his shoulder in a loving way and causing the timid boy to poke his head out from the covers.
“Well, I can if Kaeya doesn’t want to,” ,Diluc grinned in triumph. Knowing he’d won himself a few extra minutes.
Kaeya didn’t deny that so the redheaded child continued.
“Well this is a story about me and my best friend! Can you guess who that is?” Diluc kicked his legs back behind him excitedly. Waiting expectantly for an answer.
“Your pet turtle?” Kaeya’s soft guess came. An uncertain thing forced out of him by Diluc’s bright-eyed stare.
Crepus shifted his arm closer the younger, correcting his answer. “Kaeya?”
“Of course it’s Kaeya. Silly!” Diluc rolled his eyes and grinned. “Sir Lance is cool but Kaeya is my best friend now!”
Kaeya squeaked again. His eye shining brightly under the safety of the cover. Crepus wrapped his arm around him. Squeezing him.
“Alright. I’ve got to know,” he smiled. “So what is this story about my two favorite boys?”
Diluc earned his extra minutes before bed that night. In more ways than one in Crepus’ mind and Kaeya’s smile.
Give this post a like or reblog if you are part of the Ninjago Fandom!
I wanna find more people who are into the show. And so far I’ve only found one person on here. Everyone else I’ve spoken to either hasn’t watched it, or doesn’t even know what Ninjago is.
I love making posts about Ninjago, and talking about Ninjago related things.
I just wish I knew someone who loves it just as much as I do.
I like to think there was probably a moment where he didn’t think they were going to make it :)
