Black Birth Chapter 16

Caramel colored eyes watched as the pregnant greyette slept, how he envied the male. To have a child with the one you love, regardless of gender, would be wonderful.

"You're so lucky," Cycnus whispered to himself as he stared at Dynamis. "You get to have all the fun. Having a child, making a family, living on the surface..." He trailed off as pain entered his tone, he really was lucky.

"... Mgh..." Blinking the cream looked up to see groggy blue eyes.

"Good morning!" Cycnus chirped as the twenty one year old sat up.

"W-Where am I?"

"Hades." The tanner replied, Dynamis froze.

"H-Hades? W-Why?" Seeing the panic in those ocean orbs he sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Shh... It's alright, master was called down here by Lord Hades to discuss somethings. because he didn't want to leave you alone master brought you with him and asked me to watch over you."

"O-Oh," The preggy said calming down. "S-So, where is Rago now?"

"Master is currently speaking with Lord Hades and soon be back soon."

"How long have I been asleep?" Cycnus shrugged before plopping himself down beside the greyette.

"About an hour or so... How have you been?" Dynamis let out a light sigh and leaned back so he was laying on the bed.

"Fine, I guess." Letting out a small kitten like yawn and turned to lay on his side.

"Still tired?" Cycnus asked seeing the others eyelids beginning to droop, Dynamis gave a small nod curled up into a small ball before falling back asleep. Tan lips formed into a smile as he let his frail hand sift thought the male's grey locks, how lucky he was indeed.

Three hours had gone by before Rago had gotten back to the room he had left Dynamis in and finally his nerves could relax.

"Cycnus," The demigod said opening the chocolate colored door. "Is he still aslee-?" He blinked at the scene before him and a smile shaped his lips. Dynamis laid curled slightly into a ball, about a foot away from him laid Cycnus, his body in the same position. Walking over the blackette silently sat down beside the creamette's body only to have caramel open slowly.

"M-Master?" He asked rubbing one of his abnormal eyes, instantly they widened and he sat up. "I-I'm sorry m-master! I-I didn't mean to-!?"

"Shh!" Rago hissed signaling it by placing his pointer finger to his lips, automatically the younger shut up.

"I'm sorry..." The cream whispered, his head bowed in disappointment, the blackette chuckled.

"Calm down, Rago said patting the male's head. "You're not in trouble." Warm light brown blinked, he wasn't... Going to be punished?

"I-I'm not?" The young master shook his head lightly.

"No, you're not. You both watched and stayed with Dynamis, you did nothing wrong."

"But I... I fell asleep, I wasn't really watching him-?" He stopped when he met red eyes which, to his surprise, were soft. "Master?"

"Cycnus you... You need to calm down and give yourself more credit. You did what you were told, you did well. I remember before I was... Killed you wouldn't speak like this, what happened while I was gone?" Cycnus' eyes widened in shock before he looked down in despair, hands buried in his lap.

"It wasn't long after you left when Lord Hades moved us to the the main kingdom. Once we gone there we were put under strict discipline and..." He trailed off as tears began to cloud his vision. He couldn't speak no more, it brought to much pain. The black son sighed before doing the unexpected, he wiped away the male's tears.

"Don't cry," Rago said, his voice gentle and smooth. "It's alright." Silence echoed though the room, Cycnus was shocked to his core.

Who was this man?

It couldn't be his master, could it?

The man who had almost brought the earth to ruin, who killed hundreds, could it?

He was too caring, too gentle to be the man that they called the 'Black son'.

"You really have changed, haven't you?" It only came out as the tiniest whisper but Rago heard it.

"What?" The blackette asked with a look of confusion. "What do you mean 'changed'?"

"Well," The servant said brushing some of his long hair away from his face. "You're nicer... Gentler... Kinder... Like you suddenly had a change of heart..." He looked up to smile at his master. "You act like a different person."

Rago's orbs widened with shock, a change of heart?

"My guess id that it was Dynamis." The cream looked behind him to the sleeping greyette. "Ever since you got into a relationship with him you've learned what it means to be human... To know what it's like to love," The black son stared at the long haired creamette, was this really true? "And... Well... I could hear you yelling about how you're a changed man when you were 'talking' with your father. You two were being very loud while you were discussing."

The tiniest blush swept upon the black son's cheeks but faded quickly because of his manliness.

"Well then," He said glancing back at his beloved. "How long has he been asleep?" Cycnus gave a small shrug.

"Ever since you brought him here. He did wake up once tho but, it wasn't very long, five minutes at tops." Rago nodded in understanding before going and playing with a long piece of Dynamis' locks. Silence rose in the air as the conversation died slightly, what to talk about...

"You know," The Cygnus blader said in a more quiet and gentle tone. "Even know you sometimes find yourself unlucky you have to think... You have so many opportunities that some only dream of..." This caught Rago off guard, Cycnus looked down at his folded hands in his lap.

"W-What do you mean?" Caramel brown casted themselves aside, somewhat not wanting to answer.

"You... You get to do so many things that others... Could only dream about..." He held back a silent sob that dared to escape his throat's clutches. "You have the power to create a family... To have a child... Regardless of who you love..." His breathing became uneasy as he touched deeper into the sensitive subject. It was so unfair, he wanted to have a child too...

Rago opened his mouth to reply when a knock echoed off the door's wood make up.

"Cycnus?" The cocoa door cracked slightly to reveal a head full of midnight colored hair, it was Pluto. "Keyser needs your help in the kitchen, come." The teary cream stood and bowed at the demigod before following the other out of the room, closing the door behind them. Blinking red the blckette sighed and returned to playing with the snoozing male's fluffy strains.

Hades paced back and forth a crossed his throne room, his hands behind his back.

"This is bad!" He said with panic. "If they find out then..."

Taking a deep breath he started to calm himself.

"I need to calm down, it won't be that bad... Right, Dynim?"
