Who's been sleeping in my coat......

[Dara]

Kora wasnt sure what had past between Caleb and Lilly. It was times like these it frustrated him that he couldnt see but he could sill hear Caleb's disgust in his words and was relieved to hear the door closing signalling Caleb's departure to find him some clothes.
"I'm sorry" He whispered softly as she began to silentaly remove the smelly cocoon of the boy's coat, Kora himself helped remove his shirt and his shoes tring to be as helpful as he could leaving onl his socks and jogpants. He shivered softly feeling the cool chill of the bathroom air on his torso.
Kora jumped softly hearing Caleb's cheery voice annocing the clothes he'd found, that meant the bath was soon to be forced upon him..Nor did Kora understand why Caleb needed sissors and shrank away in a half fear, a soft whimper escaping his lips as he edged his way out of the sink.Unfortantly there was no where after that for him to go.
The boy , not understanding that the only clothes that were avaliable were oversized ones that would need to be tailored to fit. He sat now having escaped the sink with his back to the wall his hands around his knees confused and waiting to be saved from Bath time and sissors.

Deliberately dilatory to avoid the messy task, the young man sized the boy up with the clothes he had picked out with some disinterest. His fingers turned folds which they then removed in his passive attempt to play taylor and busy himself with a trival task. It was only when his peripheral's picked up on the still color of crimson that his fidgeting ceased in slow intervals ending on a sigh. Despite oblivious moments, the young man was sensitive enough to pick up on the muted tension drifting in the air and offered a warped condolence. "Do you need me to do something?" He asked. The blue hues turned on her only long enough to focus on her slender form and take up the guilty weight that forced them to roll away to the shivering boy. In reluctance, he inched closer and bewilderment struck a vile chord in his stomach letting the acids create a certain warped look on his face to mirror the emotion and reveal a hint of perponderance in the sideways twist of his lips. The stormy look held it's shadows on the contors of his face until it was dissolved by a look of revleation. "What's your name?" He sounded as though it would solve all his problems and even took another scuffing step closer to the small, blind mess.

[Asphyxia]

A little smile had twitch in the hidden corner of the goddess' rosy lips when the blind child she was trying to tend had complied quickly when she had nervously began to remove his vile-odored clothes until she had heard the familiar voice of the child say that he was sorry, catching the woman off guard from her apparel. The slender, porcelain hands had stopped working around the blind mess and had retracted into curling, surprised fists, her icy blues intently glued and widened on the boy in the sink. "F..." before the question was popped, the icy blues shifted through different images in her head before decided what the boy was apologizing for in the first place and the tone of voice the infant had used. A momentary warm smile crossed the woman's lip, creating that stunning and breath-taking air she always had around others, her movements evidently more confident than before. It all ebbed as quickly as it had rejoiced when the saint walked back into the bathroom with the handfuls and everything, creating the same stiff and unintentional mannerism the woman had before. "Oh." Was the muted gasp that escaped Lilly's lips as she watched Kora retract in fret upon hearing scissors. A small crease in between her eyebrows was created, watching how he escaped the sink and faced the wall at the side of the mirror instead. Taking the opportunity, the woman twisted the faucet handle and covered her hands in transparent liquid, brushing them tenderly to remove the sticky substance that was covering her hands before rinsing and finishing, hearing the silent, familiar ring of her adoration's voice ask if she needed anything in the only voice she knew he had regarded the tension he had accidentally caused. Still hidden behind her flowing wall of shiny crimson, Lilly offered a mindless, light nod, awkwardly fidgeting with her fingertips along her school girl shirt, creating the familiar once upon a time meeting blush to interfere along her cheek bones again out of little innocence. Not being conscious of her words, fluttering lashes bashfully, she shook her head lightly once and twirled on her sole, occupating herself by washing the boy's clothes.

[Dara]

Kora stayed as still as could be. Listening to clues on the couples activties. The quietness unerved the small child as the trickle of water alarmed the boy. Did it Mean that the threat of his bath was finally apon him. " I dont want a bath" He hissed sulkily holding his knee's tightly almost missing Caleb's quiet question requesting his name. His mother had once warned him about givig his last name but that was before she'd found his father.
" My names Kora What's yours"Kora asked quietly still looking at the wall. He was quietly sulking. He thought he was destined for a bath something thar displeased him highl. "Will you find my daddy for me Mister I wanna go Home?"

[Little Lion]

The tall saint's form had crouched down to the quivering boy, taking a last look at Lilly for personal reassurance that nothing would happen to either male. His expression lightened in a ginger smile upon the sterotypical situation of a little boy declining a bath. "Oh." The little word barely masked the tinkling undertones of his laugh, the happening of which had released some amount of tension from the paniced star, allowing his voice to drop to it's steady, smooth tones. "Kora, huh?" He rocked on his heels debating if the name should have been familiar to him but then, he knew a lot of names. Again, the blue eyes swept towards his sweetheart, double checking her expression for signs of his stupidity before he proceeded to ineract with the boy. "My name is Caleb." He gave an awkward fidget, resounding in squeaking rubber against wet tile floor, not knowing what else to say until the child's question filled the void. "Of course. I'll help you find anyone you need, after we get you cleaned up a bit, 'kay?" Caleb inched a little closer still keeping his hands close to himself, practically afraid to touch the miniture blonde. "What's your dad's name? Was he here with you. Kora?" Caleb's willingness was sweet and sinscere, for the time being. His hopes were set that the boy's father would have been a complete idiot to have brought him here but not idiot enough to have left with out the kid.

[Asphyxia]

Lilly had caught some of the quick glances Caleb had taken towards her stance but she didn't quite regard them by staring back or taking any glances back. Reflexes helped in the situation much more than ever intended. Her graceful hands kept washing the boy's clothes until everything was neatly scrubbed and washed away from the fabric, washing her hands a second time before taking the moist clothes in her hands and hung them from the doors of the bathroom stall in hopes they'd dry soon. However, she knew they wouldn't and that would be a great problem. Her fingers curled together aligned in a tall to little tower, her index fingers tracing the beneath contours of her stained rosy lips, pondering. With a quick snap, the goddess glided out of the bathroom in a blink of an eye and before 2 heartbeats could be reached, she was back inside the bathroom with something reassembling an oddly, wonky shaped, white gun. The wire that hung from the handle was connected to a plug on the wall, keeping the sound in a low blow, moving it over the clothes so they'd dry a little faster, taking small conscious of little sounds that disturbed the boy however oblivious the stunning woman was about Kora's blindness.

[Dara]

Kora listened to the males voice quietly taking in the New information, happiy in the knowledge that he had finally had a name for both Grown Ups. Something that was most important to the shivering boy.Slowl a smile crept across his face as Caleb promised to find his father. "My daddy's called Frank, he's the bestest guitar player ever in the whole world " The boy paused to stretch out his arms to show his point, the impending bath forgotten, ", Hes bouncy to when he plays like a tigger, "
Of course Kora hadnt the faculties to see Frank perform nor see a Tigger bounce. All he had was the descriptions given by Safi and his Mother.
"Hes not here thoughs hes with my grandpa Gerard I think Hes the bestest singer in the whole world" Once more he streatched out his arms to prove his point before once more wrapping them around his knees That was the small boy's opnion even though his Mom often wouldnt allow him to listen to his one tape that he had of Gerard's singing.
He had been just starting to relax around Caleb when disater struck. Diaster in the guise of the Hairdryer being used to dry off his clothes. It was Loud and he did not like it. Clasping his hands over his ears he began to cry and wail once more begging loudly that he Caleb stop the offending noise.

[Little Lion]

Caleb's eyes followed Lilly's quick footsteps across the floor and after a moment's study of her legs, looked up at what she was holding. Her resourcefulness, and use of Tyler's blowdryer, caused him to smile and believe that good things could still happen today. The short lived belief was shattered by a small boy's loving description of his father. At first, the young star's eyebrows slid down and he thought it was a strange coincidence- Frank was a common name. He was starting to settle when the name 'Gerard' fell off the boys lips. "Oh woah." Caleb rocked back on his heels and stood up faster then a rocket. "Woah. No." His hands were out, putting some invisible, sheltering wall between him and the now sobbing child. The astonished eyes cast a shocked look on his face which was only lended a heavy disdain by the slender downward curve of his lips. "Nooo." The look slid further, his eyebrows coming down in a trouble furrow and his lips stayed parted. Swaying steps and a simple face-palm displayed how unnerved the added tears had turned the young man. Pride wouldn't let him willingly help the spawn of the devil and the added tears made it nearly impossible for him to lend a hand. Part of him wanted to cast the screaming child out, run and leave him to fend for himself. Gerard could find him. The other half of him knew better then that, the child was helpless and Frankie's kid, a step off and a bit better. "Lilly..." It was the only place Caleb had left to turn, calm, soothing saftey. "What do we do? Did you hear..." His lips twisted shut and he scowled for a second realizing he was shouting over a crying kid and a hair dryer - reasons for mental collapse. His hand rose to his face where it found a good lock of his bangs and gave a pull. "Lilly." He had resorted to whines.

[Asphyxia]

The odd, uncanny feeling swept through Lilly as she pranced around to concoct a perfect idea. She could feel eyes on her, but the only eyes she completely adored that didn't bother her. The woman's eyebrows furrowed a little upon listening the blind child speak. The word 'Frank' penetrated her eyes like a commonplace at first but it slowly geared her mind like clockwork. It settled in her mind for a moment, wondering if it was Frankie Iero the kid was talking about until Kora had mentioned Gerard... her ex-fiance. The hand on her side supporting the movement of the blow dryer dropped quickly, her heart dropping in unison with her arm. Her throat gulped, her icy blues shifting to the tail of her eyes, trying to watch for Caleb's reaction, hoping he'd react accordingly since it was just a child she was handling. Too late. Sometimes Lilly forgot that she, as well, dealt with something along the lines of a child. Just sometimes, to her relief. Her icy blues disappeared, her nose inhaling the sweet scent invading the tangents. Her saint was already near her. And also now, apparently, even the low level tone of the blow dryer still was too high for the toddler's fragile ears. Lilly's sensitive hearing couldn't fathom anything else, not even register her own thoughts. With a distraught grunt, the goddess turned off the Tyler's blow dryer, settling on the window sill before she pulled her hair off. A slow smile beamed along her full lips. The only tones of her saint that could placate her and cause her to smile were his cute and childish whines. She knew her help was quickly needed. With a simple stride, Lilly was now facing her blond prince, both her eyebrows rising in the only look that would mean, 'Really? You're whining over this?' but the sweetness of her smile was too overpowering. Rolling her eyes after chiming a giggle, the breath-taking girl took her adoration's hand in between her fingers. "We find..." her lips pursed and thinned as if tasting something vile, "Gerard."

[Dara]

Kora relaxed only when the hair dryer had been turned off. Drying his eyes and ceasing his tantrum he promised himself he'd be extra well behaved for the young couple until his father or grandfather arrived. It seemed by what he'd heard it would be his grandfather and hopefully soon.
Maybe he hoped Gerard wouldnt be Mad at him for running off and could fix everything, including the coat Kora had dirtied.He wasnt too sure why Caleb had joined in with his tantrum just moments earlier Maybe the Man didnt like when sudden noises happened either. He had no idea how far his logic was flawed and it was the impending visit of his grandfather that had upset the singer.
"How long till he gets here?" He asked in a ton akin to an impatient child demanding 'are we there yet' expectng Gerard to be already there just because of a promise they would find him

[Little Lion]

Under the warm smile of his life's captivation, the distressed man calmed down. The whines eased off to a quieted breath and he stilled, his hand swallowing up hers within moments of the gentle touch while the other released the clump of bangs he was yanking on. With puppy dog eyes, he awaited her instruction. It came to him like a guilty verdict, dropping slow, booming, echoing ominously around in his mind chasing shadows out of it's deepest corners to taunt his prides and reluctance. Caleb slipped his hand from hers and brought both of his large hands to frame his head, his fingers spread apart as if he were gripping some invisible ball in front of his face which he then proceeded to shake. "NO" His eyes had widdened to a bursting point. "Guh, you..." His hands collapsed over his face and then jumped to her shoulders. The embrace was more gentle then the one he had strangled the air with. "Honey," He took a deep breath and let it out. "Do you know how hard that will be? For me? To do nicely? For that?" One hand had left her shoulder and swung behind him to point to Kora. The momentary pause allowed the boy's question to seep through. "Decades" Caleb mumbled the dark reply with his head tilted down on it's way back to face Lilly. He stared at the familiar blue eyes of his lover, the familiar form of her face causing his stiff countenance to once again melt. "Do I have to?" He asked quietly. The longer he stared at the hauntingly angelic face, the more clear it became to him that her answer would be a disappointing yes and furthermore, his keyed up after performance behavior was becoming a bother.

[Asphyxia]

At first, the goddess had been pretty content with the warm expressions that had overwhelmed her lover's expression at both her touch and her soothing tones. She knew she had finally eased all his troubles and that perhaps she'd get a little farther away instead of dealing with more children. To her dismay, however, Caleb's outburst caught her off guard. For another moment, the stunning woman had looked like a cat right out of the shower: drenched, with the most awestruck but fret expression and shaky body. Her hands had retracted to herself when he had let her hand go, her body twisting in such a way as if shielding herself for whatever bomb he was going to explode over. A gentle gasp escaped her stained lips as instead he took his adoration into an embrace. The woman's eyes bulged out, her icy blues glowing brighter than ever before. Her eyes searched and flickered like if having a seizure, following each of his movements and the way his lips moved, watching as he finally came to be himself, falling into her unknown sugar-coated charm. No matter what the vampire would do, her movements still left a dizzying beauty over her expressions and features. Her lashes batted down gentle before recomposing her body, her fingers flattening out the fabric of her school girl outfit before she responded Caleb carefully. "Look..." she finally sighed. Despite her desire to be with her boyfriend every second of his meaningful life, there were things that she'd get out of her own way to save herself from ripping anyone who'd do the wrong thing unintentionally. "You don't have to. I can... go find Gerard on my own." The last bit of her sentence was spoken through her clenched pearly whites which were exposed by pulled, tainted lips in almost a rippling, silent snarl that disappeared within a heartbeat. There was really no need for her to go look for Gerard anymore, though. A new presence had entered the bathroom that was barely inches taller than Lilly, but never close to the height of the other comrade rock star. His raven hair had been neatly styled to the side thoroughly and lifted at the ends to create a very narrow effect over the contours of his face, making him appear way slimmer than he really was. His piercing green eyes had a liquid warmth to them, and a black suit decorated the rest of his body. "I felt my presence was needed?" His eyes quickly darted towards the mirror, vanity overflowing for a second before his green pools caught sight of the blond child that was his grandson. "Kora?" Gerard quickly called, knowing the kid was blind.

[Dara]

The mistrust that he'd had earlier of Caleb was slowly seeping back into the boy's defences once more caiusing him to hunch up tightly wrapping his arms around his knees. Somehow he had upset the blonde singer. 'Decades' How long was that anyway to a boy that time meant nothing to anyway. He wanted to ask but he didnt want to upset the man even more. He wished Lilly would assign him a time out on a Naughty step. Or most probably a corner. There had been No steps He could remember and bathrooms rarely had them anyway.Thats what nearly always happened to him if he had a prolonged tantrum like Caleb was doing.
It didnt look like that was happening though and as much as Kora wanted to pout and complain he'd promised to be good and quiet he let his head rest on his arms deciding to forget about asking his grandfather about fixing Caleb's coat. He'd just request to go home.
'Kora?'A smile alighted Koras face. It seemed Decades wasnt that long after all. He was here. Gerard was here to come get him and take him away from Caleb. "Grandpa!" He yelled excitedly looking up trying to locate the raven haired singer with his blind eyes " Grandpa you cames to get me! Lilly was going to come find you shes the bestest she didnt even give me a bath" He launched into full flow while he waited for Gerard to make a noise so the little blind boy could locate him . "Are you going to take me homes Grandpa? I will needs New ones cause I was a bad boy cause I wetted my pants" He paused to take a breather as he realised he hadnt checked out one important question "Are you Mad at Me Grandpa?"

[Little Lion]

Caleb's fit had ceased after the long gaze at his lover. It was his turned to be surprised now, as they had been doing to each other all night. A strange battle of throwing unnerving emotions at each other, just missing the impact they were making. Look. The heavy sigh brought his fingers off of Lilly's shoulders, trailing down her arms before disappearing to his sides. His lips pulled tighter as he bit the bottom one. Her angry stint had wilted him, making his tall frame shrink to itself. His self pity was short lived. "No." The word fell from his lips before he could stop it. It had become to familiar, the only word he knew how to speak today. The only one that made sense. He would let Lilly do anything today but that simple task. "I don't want you too." Though mumbled towards the floor, the words were firm enough. "Not alone..." The sugar coating to the stern statement had been interrupted by the entrance of Gerard. The taller man swung around to face the new presence. A blank, stolid but pale mask had stolen over his face at the sight of Gerard. It wasn't so much the man that had gotten to him this time but how on earth had he even known? The young immortal still acted surprised by things that happened around him and if he'd only pay attention, they would come naturally to him. "Oh." The star shuddered at the child's loud exclamation. Cat like hearing was still in affect. He raised an eyebrow as the child rattled off, it was the most noise he'd heard it make other then crying.

[Asphyxia]

A light pout pushed the red-haired woman's lower lip as her saint slipped his hand from hers. Now, more than ever, she did need somewhat of his comfort. Gerard and her might have once been the best of friends or still have some kind of friendship going on, but not so much since Lilly had been with Caleb, which the raven vampire sought as a rival. The taller man's response had caused the even the faintest hint of pink to leave her complex, flushing any ivory hues left in her body, parching her entirely. The perplexed beauty blinked in a haze, quite not believing her boyfriend had been really saying those words because he cared. Lately, it had been the other way around. Lifting her pale arm to her other, her fingers lightly rubbed in small circles around her skin. The glowing icy blues had begun to sparkle even if just the slightest. "R--" but her statement was horribly butchered by the angel hybrid entering like if the life of the party had just arrived. The gentle and stunning mask cracked into small little simmering scowls as the girl watched the man waltz in and call forth the little child's name. All her concentration broke with the even smaller child had begun to speak louder than his previous blubbering. "Grandpa?" Lilly raised an eyebrow at the word, her eyes flicking accusingly towards Gerard. Her expressions once again smoothed, the color returning to her even if just the smallest of tinges at hearing how the boy praised her for being a good caretaker. An even greater expression covered her breath-taking features when her eyes spied the older man's reaction. His eyebrows had raised and slowly knitted into a growing little flabbergasted scowl. "Well, thank Lilly for being a good babysitter, sweetie," his arms outstretched quickly, picking up naked Kora in his arms, searching for some ratty old cloth to wrap around him for the time being, "we're going home to your mother and your father. And apologize for wetting yourself." His eyes, with great reluctance, now turned towards the goddess, his face trailing along with his eyes until an exaggerated sigh escaped his frosty lips. "Thanks... for taking care of Kora. Did he hurt himself?"
