"Big brother" The ruby-eyed demon called to his brother, his voice barely above a whisper; his feet landing gracefully on the ground as his wings vanished into his back.
"Eosphorus" A hooded figure slowly but gracefully turned towards his little brother
"I'm hungry" Eosphorus deadpanned
"Demons don't get hungry," His elder brother said with an eye roll
"Lucifer, where is my nephew?" Eosphorus calmly asked
"What?" Lucifer dumbly asked, trying to irk his brother
"Lucifer, you've left your mates for almost two moons now, lazing and sulking around. You left your very strong mata an e few days just after he gave birth to your child, said mate told you to look for your child and being the lovesick puppy you were, you went; not that I'm complaining though. Now, I asked you where said child is and all you could come up with was 'What?' ?" Eosphorus glared, still keeping his calm demeanor in check.
"Eosphorus-"
"Don't call me by that name" Eosphorus warned with a glare.
"Don't cut me off" Lucifer warned.
"My Nephew" Eosphorus demanded.
"It's Hermes" Lucifer counter-backed.
"Tell me something I don't know," Eosphorus deadpanned
"Father is extremely gullible. I just wish you get your mate or mates as soon as possible" Lucifer said with an annoyed eye roll, knowing fully well that his brother has been waiting for his mate for eons. He knows that his brother will smother his mate to death. What a hypocrite he can be.
"Well, I'm well aware of that. Now Angel Hermes, would you do us the honor of revealing yourself; I'm getting sick of this place" Eosphorus coldly said, but nothing happened.
Lucifer heightened his senses, trying to break through any form of magic. He smirked victoriously when he sensed something. He snapped his fingers as he cracked the invincible wall of magic right before him and his bother, which in the process revealed a man dressed in a white garment, holding a child not more than twelve weeks old in his arm.
"Well, see the man that managed to separate me from my mates and child for close to three mo,n,,,,,,, this thisucifer said in a bored tone, but his eyes were boring holes into the angel's soul.
"Haha. Lucifer can't you not be so full of yourself all the time?" Hermes said with distaste laced in his tone.
"What can I say, I was made this way. And wait, weren't angels supposed to have like the sweetest and soothing voice in the world? No offense, you sound like a wailing crab" Eosphorus tried to hold back an eye roll because his brother was acting super dramatic, he could have taken the life out of the little angel in milliseconds.
Lucifer got to work, as he froze time- it didn't affect his brother though. Walking towards the angel. He stopped before the angel, and checked the baby in the angel's arms- There was a possibility that the baby in the angel's arms wasn't the real one, so he gently collected the sleeping baby into his arms, walking towards his brother. Eosphorus understood the silent message his brother was trying to pass- Lucifer was trying to tell him to check if the baby was his.
"You know I know nothing about this, Lucifer." Eosphorus deadpanned.
"Useless" Lucifer muttered as he released time.
"He's not the mastermind, this is the work of a higher-up Archangel" Eosphorus revealed.
"I know" Lucifer bitterly said.
He gracefully faced the stunned angel who didn't find the baby in his arms in the blink of an eye.
"Where-" The angel was unable to complete his sentence, as Lucifer trapped his body into a small glass vial. He tossed the vial into his pocket, turning on his heels to stare his brother in the eye as he said
"Let's go home"
"Baby I have a good feeling this morning," Bruno said as he searched through their shared armoire in the walk-in closet attached to their bedroom. Who the hell places an armoire in a walk-in closet? Well, Lucifer does- the ancient freak.
"About what?" Sam absentmindedly asked as he stared at the closet's ceiling, lying down on the floor with his intertwined fingers supporting his head on the floorboard.
"I don't know, but I'm picking out beautiful clothes for us and we are going to look less miserable today" Bruno cheerfully said.
"Right," Sam dryly responded.
"It's not that bad, Sam!" Bruno whined.
"I love you, Brune" Sam's voice was barely above a whisper.
"Why so sudden?" Bruno asked, worry laced in his voice as he stopped what he was doing to briefly glance at his mate.
"It's not just sudden. I'm just saying this in case fate decides to play its tricks again"
"Oh, don't say that. I'm going nowhere. Moreover, I feel he'll be home soon" Brune said, trying to soothe his mate's sad heart with with his soothing voice.
"We'll be fine" Bruno concluded as he continued with his search. Sam could only hum.
"Yes! Perfect!" Bruno squealed as he showed off a yellow off-shoulder sundress that would go well with his dark brown hair.
"Sam, what about this?" Bruno asked with sparkling purple orbs.
Sam sprang to his feet, giving his mate full attention.
"You'll look so sexy in this," Sam said with a mischievous smirk as his eyes shifted from the dress to his mate alternately, looking like a starved wild dog. Bruno was not prepared for the sudden and unpredicted mood shift as he nervously bounced on the balls of his feet.
"Re-really?!" Bruno stammered as he let out a squeal because of the intensity in his mate's eyes.
Bruno didn't wait for a reply from his mate as he scurried past his mate, making a dash towards the bathroom; shouting that his mate should find something nice to wear before locking the door and putting on the shower. Sam chuckled at his mate's flustered act.
"What an adorable mate I have"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The duo were neatly dressed now. Bruno was dressed in his yellow short sundress that showed off his milky shoulders and his equally milky feminine legs, his shoulder-length hair neatly brushed away from his face. Sam, on th,e, other hand was dressed in a black shirt, and black dress pants pants lacking dress shoes to complete the set. His messy curly hair was proudly sitting on his head which made him a sexy me in tu, rn e Bruno a hot mess.
As they stepped out of their shared bedroom, they found the castle strangely quiet which made them uncomfortable a bit.
"It's quiet here" Sam commented.
"So eerie" Bruno dramatically shuddered.
They walked towards the dining hall and saw something that shocked them to the marrow, or rather, someone.
