A trip to the park

[Dara]

It was evening time by the time Page had given her consent to take Kora to the park. It meant most of the time the place was empty or had few cildren occuping the play equipment. Fewer children meant less danger for Kora.

Kora loved the swings most of all. Hed drag a relectant Page over and demanded to go higher and higher. And Page would never be able to refuse. and this evening was no different . She listened to him chuckle, his laugh reminding her of the boy's father, of Frankie.

Frank Anothny Iero, She knew shed let him down in more ways than one, the hardest was depriving him of his son. But how could she just turn up on his doorstep with Kora? The answer was simply she couldnt , besides she didnt even know where he was.

"Higher Momma Higher" Kora demanded chiuckling as Page stopped pushing.."Kora thats high enough sweetie"She smiled softly watching Kora , hearing his laughter, it reminded her of Frank. ~I miss you~ she thought to herself idling wondering what Frank was doing as she waited for Kora's swing to slow down, just so she could push him higher once more.

[Asphyxia]

"ACKACKAAACK!! Ugh.." A loud cough had been hacked from frosty, pink lips on the side walk of the park, releasing unwanted acids that the stomach had rejected. Short, raven hair had been pulled completely back by an alabaster hand that belonged to another man standing right next to the tore, sick, smaller saint, pulling backwards whilst shoving the smaller man's head down unto the surface of the pavement, letting him completely return what had gone in as food once. "Next time, try not to escape, pass as dead and get drunk out of your fucking mind without me being there," a soft, bass voice hissed lowly while the deep greens of the man on the floor glowered upwards and closed tightly for the last, upcoming cough. The older man made a gesture of disgust and shuddered, shoving his free hand unto his black, formal attired pants and pulled out a tissue, cleaning the younger man's mouth completely. He made an attempt to lean down, quickly snatched a bottle of water that was screaming to be used and poured water delicately upon that man that was about to claim the grass near the sidewalk as a bed. "No, no... Frank Anthony Iero!" Growled the raven-haired angel lowly, barely audible to accompanied audience, towards the man that had childishly snuggled against his arms, making him twist his lips into an impish grin. "You're so..." his eyes rolled at his frivolous friend that had begun to snore against the raven-haired angel's chest. His hazel/green hues quickly stole glances over his shoulders, noticing Page with a kid and decided to lay low, an act of benevolency for his best friend's sake until he sobered up.

[Dara]

Hearing the coughing but nothing else yet Page decided now would be a good time to go home. "Kora sweetheart"She called bringing the swing to a stop "Its time to go home, its late" Kora pouted "Aww momma just ten minutes more" He begged softly feeling Pages hand in his.
"No baby but we can come back tomorrow"She promised softly leading him out of the Park, unfortantlly a little close to the drunk and his companion.
Scooping up her protesting son she sighed, gratefull for once her son was blind, so she wouldnt have to explain why he was being ill unfortantly Kora could pick up most of it by hiss excellent hearing.
She looked down at Frank in disgust not even recognising him, stepping around him taking no notice of there conversation . "Momma?" Kora began softly "Whs that man said my name, he said Iero?" He asked in half whisper bringing a lump to Pages throat. That couldnt be Frank in front of her , It just couldnt it didnt make sense
"I.. I dont know sweetheart"Page couldnt turn away nor could she answer her son not for those few moments anyway.

[Asphyxia]

Biting down his pretty, luscious, pink lips, the raven-haired, alabaster man stiffened in his pose, his grip tightening around the smaller man that had already used his chest as a pillow. Fuck, Frankie! Why did you have to choose today to be drunk? Gerard thought quickly about the consequences it would bring upon the poor girl if he had to bring a not-so-sober Frank. Then again... A little groggy and slurring his words, the younger, tanned man reached to wrap his fingers around the saint's hair, cradling his arms slowly like a child around his neck. Of course, this brought a more softer smile to Gerard's face, his nimble fingers slowly sweeping away dirty, bristled, raven locks from the sleeping man's face. "Who is that kid with her anyway?" Gerard picked up his own silky words that came out in a muffled mumble under his icy, musky breath. And it hit him. His eyebrows quickly furrowed in an encountering scowl, his lips slanting in an angry growl. "Fuck, Frankie! You impregnated Page!?" His voice was a whispering, acid hiss, his hand frantically slapping Frankie's cheek until his eyes--with little struggle and reluctantly--fluttered open. Suddenly, Frank's eyes widened in impaled horror. The raven-haired angel man's expression was no longer a warm embrace, but an icy, fatherly, angst look. "W-what did I-I do?" The younger man slurred vehemently. "You have a child, dumb ass! And look at where you are!" His hand had now instinctively started to slap Frank's shoulder from utter anger. "You're. Drunk. And. Not. Even. Caring. That. You. Have. A. Kid!" The fatherly toned surfaced quietly into Gerard's now frustrated, velvet tone. His lips thinned, concealing behind his mouth, glinting his fangs in the dim light.

[Dara]

Confession time, this wasnt going to be easy. Why was Gerard so mad? It was her that had hidden Koras existance from Frank and everyone. It was time to set this straight, and Gerard hitting Frank wasnt going to fix this , Only she could, Only Page had the answers. Placing Kora back on the ground, this time she wasnt going to run away.
"Fa.."She began not sure if she should begin by calling Gerard by his name, or simply father. He'd once been her step-father, was it wise to remind him of that, while he was so Mad? Yet she still thought of him as such.

"Gerard...Stop it!"She demanded forcing herself to keep her voice even being careful on her choice of words She didnt want to make this harder than it was. allready. "Gerard, Father dont hurt him he didnt know anything, and hurting him more isnt the answer. She hadnt meant to call him father,the word had slipped in unheeded as she saught to cool his anger.

"Momma?" Kora asked confused, trying to make sense of what was going on. He clutched his mothers hand tightly reminding her of his presance, being assuered of hers. Looking down at Kora, who was half hiding behind his mother Page smiled, his shyness givining her the resolve she needed.
"Gerard Way I want you to meet my .. mine and Frank's son Kora Iero, Now if youre done 'waking up' Frank would you like to come to our house" She smiled softly, she'd explain to Gerard there about her son's blindness and discover if he wished to be called Grandfather, Uncle or simply just Gerard.
"Come on SweetHeart Its time to go home"She scooped up Kora, once more holding him in her arms "Time to go home.... Gerard are you guys coming?" She asked not waiting for her guests but instead walking slowly enough that Gerard could easily grab Frank and catch up

[Asphyxia]

Gerard seemed to tense quickly when his name was so abruptly scorned. Being in such a mad state, his expressions quickly contorted into a maddening scowl, but surprisingly softened when he heard Page's soothing voice call him father. It was still the Page he remembered, the Page he adored, the Page he'd take as his daughter no matter what was going on between him and Z. Before answering anything, Gerard just listened quietly, effortlessly holding Frank in his arms, still in his petrified pose, not even giving a sign yet of even moving. After the few words his daughter had spoken, Gerard closed his eyes, blending in with the remorse feeling that sickened his throat. His face seemed to loose color slowly, draining to a more granite color. His pink lips parted to speak, but his voice seemed faint and blocked. Most of all, he felt bad for acting in a fatherly way when she was around towards the young man cradled into his warm embrace. "Page... daughter..." the raven-haired angel spoke slowly, his head giving the smallest twitch to turn and was quickly facing her in a flash. His lips slanted quietly into a half-heartedly smile, the faintness of it demonstrating he wasn't even trying to. "A nice shower would do Frank well..." he whispered, leaning down to kiss Kora's forehead. "Hey little fella..." his beaming, overwhelming smile returned back to his luscious lips as he quietly and without any other word trailed along with the newcomers.

[Dara]

Page kept her silence until she reached her small house "Welcome to our home Father"She smiled letting them in. Kora she noticed was quiet too, staying close to his Mother. Once in though he seemed to relax a little.
"I think you should let Frank sleep it off... Hes better Hearing it all sober... Kora wll you show your Grandpa your room, Your .. Daddy can sleep in there"She took quiet command herself heading towards the kitchen she needed a drink.
"Yes Momma"Kora answered softly reaching for a wall he began to head for his room "Grandpa.." He began not sure if Gerard had even begun to follow with his charge . "Is that really My Daddy?" He asked quietly opening his bedroom door showing a musical themed bedroom. A small poster of the band was on the wall in a frame. "Why is he so sleepy? Its not even bedtime yet?" Kora demanded in a small voice asking Gerard the questions he dared not ask his mother.

[Asphyxia]

"He's slept enough for today." Gerard quietly mused to himself, examining his alabaster fingers, giving a small smile, but obeyed and placed the smaller man on the couch while his eyes trailed behind Page. Caught off-guard, the raven-haired vampire looked down at his grandson. He never found a reason to smile more than the right moment, which was now as his icy, cold hand reached down to find Kora's arm. Quietly, he followed along into the musical-esque themed room, his eyes falling over at the poster of his band. Pink lips quickly thinned behind a concealed mask of teeth, quickly turning his hazel hues away from the poster to the child, trying to keep up with his questions. "Your daddy had a lot of work today and is tired, sweetheart." The raven-haired man softly cooed into Kora's ear, staying close to him to watch his surroundings. "This is a very nice room, Kora. Who decorated it for you?" Of course, although the question was bluntly obvious, Gerard still had to make his presence overwhelming and profound to the kid. He didn't want to make an enemy.

[Dara]

Page poured herself a glass of red wine but it sat on the side undrunk when she realised Gerard had forgotten to take Frank with him, Leaving him there where she could watch him. Taking a warm cloth she walked quietly overto the sleeping guitarist.
Carefully she flicked the hair of his face stopping to admire him, her plan was to take care of him , clean him up a little while Gerard became acquainted with his new Grandson Kora
"Im sorry Frank "She whispered tracing is features carefully not wanting to wake hiim "For Not telling you"She murmered leaning in to kiss him, a gentle lovers kiss not meaning more than just what it was.

Kora smiled feeling the cooler touch of Gerards hand in his "Momma and I think Safi Helped" He dragged him towards a picture on the wall " My Daddys in that Picture Are you in it too?" He asked softly (Ill let you decide which band shot it is) "Its him with his band thats where he works isnt it?" He asked softly before giving his grandfather an improtu hug. "Thank you for bringing My daddy to see me, I hope he wakes up soon" He smiled looking up at Gerard with soft silver unseeing eyes that where full of hope.

There was one other in Koras room. A small silver Dragon. Hed been asleep on the Musical Note themed Bookcase when Kora had brought in his Grandfather. Alert to hearing his name, the dragon became invisible before gliding over towards the raven haired vistor. Landing Lightly on the Man's shoulder. ~mm Who's this~ He mused to himself knowing the mans indenty from Kora 's pictures "Gerard Way I presume" He purred in a half whisper into the singers ear so Kora wouldnt know the dragon was awake.

[Asphyxia]

Watching Kora hug him, for Gerard, it took a little bit more effort to hug his adorable little grandchild. Not for the fact that a kid was hugging him--he loved Kora with all his dear heart--but for the simple fact that Frankie had decided to take this night to get drunk and leave his child unattended. It collected more anger into the vampire's system, his fist clenching a little, releasing Kora before he grasped anything and in anger, destroyed it. His eyes passed unto the poster once again that Kora had pointed at, asking him if he was present as well as his father was. It made the older man question some things a little, thinking he'd see it and wouldn't be asking this, after he realized the little boy was blind. "Why yes... I'm in the picture, too. It's our band." The raven-haired angel explained, thinning his lips quietly, stealing glances towards the living room just to glower at Frankie. Getting a little startled by the dragon perched on his shoulder, he looked to the side and gave a simple nod, his eyes narrowing in question. "And you are?" Gerard retaliated in the same windy tone. His eyes grazed back to look at the man on the couch in his peaceful slumber, watching him give little small shifts around the couch, stirring himself a little obnoxiously when Page had made her approached and touch him. He had kept in mind that Frank was not completely sleeping, but he was just crashed from lack of sobriety. Like a fainted man, subconsciously feeling everything and reciprocating to the actions.

[Dara]

Page sighed, wishing for once fairytails came true, and when you kissed your Prince he would awake for happy ending. Quietly she moved into her bedroom to retrive a blanket. "I guess tomorrow you will wake and demand answers Frank Anthony Iero.... I just hope I have them, and there answers you wont hate too much" It was then she sank into the chair next to him nursing her glass of red wine, knowing it would soon be Kora's bedtime, but she'd let him miss after all it was every day he got to meet both his father and his grandfather.
"Grandfather whats it like to sing in front of all those people. My friend Safi tells me about your band sometimes" Kora whispered as if Page would hear an chastise him for this Knowledge, "I bet its scary... I would be afraid even though I couldnt see them, It would still be really loud wouldnt it" He asked eager to find something his grandfather would want to discuss quietly he was picking up on the fact Gerard was tense. "Will you and Daddy sing for us before you go away again!" He begged guessing this would only be a short visit before his father would want to return to his work. After all hadnt the band kept his daddy to busy to come visit him... that was the tale Page had fed him since hed been old enough to demand knowledge on his missing parent.
"I am simply Safi" The small dragon murmered softly . Hed refused as alwas to give his full name having a hatred of it, "Young Kora and Page are both my charges, so I need to insure you dont plan on upsetting the boy, or taking him away from his home.. so on and so forth Sir"

[Asphyxia]

"I won't, but I have the power to, small one for I am the boy's grandfather and since the father doesn't seem to be responsible, it only seems fair that the one who's able to use the head properly in male form is me." The raven-haired angel pointed out in a vampiric whisper so Kora wouldn't much of it. Even if the boy's hearing was increased due to the fact of his impediment, Gerard could still manage to slip some words unnoticed. "Don't get me wrong, though. I am in no way, shape or form trying to put authority for I have no right yet..." he whispered a little bit loosened, trying to assure the small dragon that he wasn't trying to make an enemy but that it was just simply in his vampiric nature. Planting a smile on his lips, however, he leaned down to bring an alabaster finger around Kora's cherubic face and trace his jawline. "Of course I'll sing for you, dear. But I'll assure you that your daddy is not leaving anymore. I might have to leave some times, though." Pressing his lips softly to the blind kid's forehead, Gerard got up from kneeling down and strove away towards Page and Frankie, who shifted once in a cuddling position into the cushions provided by the couch and the warmth provided by the blanket the wife had offered. An alabaster finger slowly jabbed the air, stopping abruptly around the smaller man's thigh three feet apart. "This one won't be escaping anymore."

[Dara]

Safi listened quietly to the words spoken. He was quietly reassured,by the raven haired saints words. He glanced at his young charge then back at the singer. He didnt quite trust him et despite being reassured by his words. Maybe this stranger would be an allie with the Kids mother. The sourse of the boy's seperation with his father.
Kora looked up as he felt Gerard's touch. He reached out finding the figure he offered a clumsy embrace standing there until he felt Gerard stand. He offered him a beaming smile as he spoke "Do you hear Safi, My grandfather says Daddys staying " He yelled excitedly. Safi sighed offering no reassurences of the fact or deniels. Gerard had to get past Paige first.
"Kora its time to get ready for bed" Safi spoke calmly "Aw but Safi" Kora complained moving over to his bed where his pjs waited. The were cute ones with little musical notes on. Relecuntantly he changed into them. The top was a t shirt so it would cause Kora no difficulty with buttons.
Page looked up as Gerard approached. She offered him a warning look so not to wake her dear Frank. "He didnt escape the first time....I made the choice for both of us Father"Her eyes were firm and strict, much like her mothers firm look, "And if when he wakes and hes mad at me for it so be it.... I will not force him to stay ..."She explained looking him square in the eyes hiding her fear of his anger and possible contempt of her actions."How long... How long has he been a drunk....this wasnt the first time was it?"

[Asphyxia]

Gerard had involuntarily disregarded what Page had said about Frank and how he really didn't escape. For some odd reason, he thought she was just defending him like any other lover would but at the right moment he was about to turn around, he froze in place as if rigor mortise had stricken earlier than it was supposed to in an untimely death. "W...What?" The man slowly spoke in a silent whisper while his pale lips quivered, thinning to hide behind pearly whites. A set full of emotions rushed through his eyes whilst one took time to settle which was confusion that slowly ebbed into mild disapproval but it all happened before he turned his liquid green to stare at the woman sitting down while brandishing a glass of whine in her hand and staring at the man that was way past sobriety. Really disregarding the last question she stung to coax the prior statement, Gerard tilted his head while registering the situation by blinking several of times in a rapid motion. "What... what do you mean by you made the decision for him?" The tone came out varied by flats and simmered mild anger which was presentable by the stressing the last word.

[Dara]

"Just before I left... I discovered I was pregant Father.... The band was at a Peak in its fame.... Frank didnt need a Kid at his heels...."Page looked up at him with a sigh this was going to be harder than it looked. She droped her voice down low not wanting her voice to carry into Koras room "I was warned I couldnt carry him to full term.. If there was No baby I thought why tell him..."She shrugged nursing her wine glass "Then Kora was born, the thought I might die I lost so much blood and I was weak after ,, too weak to contact either of you. That was when Safi joined our little family... He treats Kora like a younger brother instead of his protector....I was gonna tell you ....then i discovered my son's blindness....How could i buden him with that. The band, Pansy was his everything.... I was just a play mate to him... Safi has often railed at me for not writing but as hes grown...Its been harder to tell you guys... I did write once... but i never mailed the letterand weve never been in one place long enough for you to track us till tonight"She drank the wine and stood up.
"So you see, until he wakes up he has no idea that Kora is his.....And if hates me for it then i will have to live with it....Father i wont let him punish him further when the sin is mine|"
