Welcome to Atlantis Academy! (Lia && Chokuro)

"Me. Sort of. My hair was a bit darker, obviously, but the face... Me." Zealand gave a sad little smile as thoughts passed through his head that he could have never seen his brother again. He pushed it away, though, as he undressed the toddler and set him in the water with several of his ducks. Reaching in, the brunette 'chased' Elly with the green duck, having it 'peck' at his face and arms and chest while the boy giggled madly. "I missed this."
 
Lucifer looked between the two and smiled a little bit more. "Then he will definitely be handsome." He said simply while leaning against his form, looking over at Liam and he grinned a little bit more. He took up one of the little duckies and splashed it gently into the water before he grinned and moved toward the toddler with the duck. "He's too cute not to miss. Your parents are wretched people. Mama and Papa will be good to you both." He stated, turning to look at him with a smile. "He is wonderful. Aren't you Liam? Yeah. Maybe after your bath we can go see Uncle Mias and torture him a bit!" He laughed happily with a little giggle, setting the duckie into the boy's hands and smiling a little more.
 
Zealand shrugged a little at the comment about his parents. "I don't like what they did, but without them then Elly wouldn't be here..." The brunette couldn't really bring himself to hate them. "Your parents seem to have taken good care of him so far." Elly seemed happy and healthy and that was all that truly mattered to him. His brother couldn't have fallen into better hands. "Uncle... Tomias. Married to Nikkos." He nodded and drew up other facts about the couple. "Elly shares Nikkos' powers, right? He will help Elly control and learn them?"
 
Lucy arched a brow. "That's kinda creepy." He admitted before he nodded. "Yes and yes. Uncle Nikkos will definitely help." He informed him with a warm smile to his lips. He grinned and scooped up some water to pour over Liam's head, grinning a little bit more. "He's a good kid. He almost makes me want to have babies."
 
He shrugged again. "I can't help it. I read the information and it'll be there forever." Maybe Elly would be able to remember everything he read and saw too... Picking up a wash cloth, Zealand began to wash the boy's body from the cheeks down. He scrubbed gently, careful to avoid Elly's eyes and mouth, and rinsed with handfuls of water to the places that weren't submerged already.
 
Lucifer nodded a few times to his words. "So you have your own sort of power" He grinned and then happily sat onto the edge of the tub. Watching the little boy get cleaned before he soon lost his balance and slipped into the water with a squeak. His arms and legs went into the air as his whole body got drenched. "ah!" he turned to Liam and laughed a little more. "Hey. Your bath just looked so fun." He laughed a little bit more, groaning.
 
He couldn't help laughing at the male as he himself sat on the (closed) toilet to keep from doubling forward into the same predicament. "Sort of," he answered finally. "But I guess it was easy enough for my parents to ignore since they didn't toss me out of a boat." Zealand was bitter about his brother's treatment and had difficulty not showing it. Then again, who could blame him? Finally calmed enough, the brunette stood and heaved Lucius out of the tub and wrapped him in a large, fluffy towel that they'd set out for Elly. "Mind grabbing me another one before you go change?"
 
Lucifer laughed and wrapped the towel around his form. He pushed his pants off and dropped them into the hamper before he smiled and shook his head. "I don't mind." He stated and then left for a few moments then came back with a nice fluffy towel. "all right. You toss him, I'll catch." He grinned, showing that he really was kidding.
 
He chuckled a little before reaching forward and grabbing the towel, "beating" Lucifer over the head with it once for good measure. "Go get changed before you soak the rugs." Zealand gave a quick smile and then leaned down to get Elly out of the cooling water. The brunette dried the toddler, tickling him mercilessly as he did so, as they walked to Elly's room to change and dress him.
 
Lucifer chuckled and left. "Mm. You just don't want to risk seeing my sexy ass." He teased with a wink, walking out and disappearing into his room. He gladly pulled on a nice pair of warm pajama pants and a hoodie, smiling a little more. He headed through the house and soon toward the kitchen. Looking around and taking out a brownie and eating it hopefully before his Mama would notice. He doubted it. HE was sure something would be off in his "chocolate force" but that was beside the point.
 
Once Elly was put down to bed, Zealand made his way down to the kitchen as well. He remembered smelling chocolate when he'd been there with Rune and Calder earlier, and it had smelled really good. It was a little awkward, but figuring he was supposed to be at home now, the brunette began to dig through cabinets to find what he was looking for, cataloging everything as he went. "Why is there a double batch of fudge in the dishwasher?"
 
Lucifer, who was sitting on the counter, snorted. "You researched Mama, but don't know him." He stated with a little laugh. "It's for when bad news happens or if Papa isn't having sex with him. THe usual. It's going to be gone by the end of the week. But brownies are in the cupboard near the fridge. Have some fudge. It's yummy. We don't really use the dishwasher for anything but extra storage." He shrugged. "Or a hiding place. which is pointless since Mama knows where it is even before anyone else."
 
He nodded, recalling the chocolate addiction but not saying anything. Zealand hadn't thought that it was this bad. "So that's why there are chocolate chip cookies under the sink, homemade truffles in the utensil drawer, and a dutch chocolate cake in the oven?" He pulled out a piece of fudge and a brownie, then a glass for some milk. "And about six dozen chocolate covered strawberries?" He shook his head. "You sure your Mama isn't diabetic?"
 
"If he was, he would be in a coma by now." Lucifer shrugged his shoulders. "I don't quite know how he eats as much as he does. I've literally seen him go through a batch of fudge, dozen brownies, and chocolate cake within a half hour. It was frightening and made me want to puke just watching him." He shuddered and then looked over at him with a chuckle. "We never go hungry."
 
"Your Papa is a cook, right?" That information flooded his conciousness now. Calder had been a shape shifter in Atlantis a couple of centuries back. In all of his research, Zealand couldn't find much on Calder before he'd met Rune and Relic Lin, so his knowledge was limited in a way. But that didn't matter too much, he knew what he needed to know as far as he was concerned.

Zealand took a seat next to Lucifer and began to eat his snacks, chatting quite happily.
 
A couple weeks later, Lucifer was giddy. Not only were his parents out of the house for their weird little date night that he did not question where they were going or what they would do, but he had a date! With a beautiful, pink-haired woman. He went to dinner with her and currently, the two were sitting on the couch in teh living room. They had been walking for a little while. But it did not take long for the two to be lip-locked. The woman not minding that he wore dresses, and that made him happy. So much happier when they began to kiss and the woman was soon straddling his hips.
 
Well that wasn't an image he needed...

Shaking his head, Zealand moved quietly into the kitchen, with Elly on his hip. The past few weeks had been wonderful. He'd gotten to spend time with his brother while still going to school and not having to wonder what he'd be walking into when he got home. And, aside from his current whereabouts, Lucifer had proven great fun to spend time with in the evenings as well. The brunette set the toddler down so he could make them both something to eat.

He found that his memory helped him a bit, too. He didn't have to ask where anything was once he had the time to catalog each cabinet, drawer, and cupboard and he was feeling more and more at home. Turning around, he found that Elly wasn't there and Zealand began a panicked search...that ended five minutes later, in the living room, as he watched his younger brother toddle over to Lucifer and his date to press gooey, slobbered on fudge in their faces. Zealand, unable to help it, laughed.
 
Lucifer heard the others in the house, but honestly, did not care. He was having too much fun, and would worry about them later. That was until he felt little hands at his side. He pulled away, looking at the boy with a soft little laugh. He was quite amused. The girl on top of him? Not so much.

“EW! Why is there some slobbery kid here? Is he yours?!” she snapped, turning to look at Lucifer with disgust.

He laughed “Hah! I wish.” He grinned and pulled up the boy, wiping away some fudge from his mouth. “oh honey. Mama’s going to eat you up if you have that much chocolate on you!” he laughed, clearly enjoying this while the woman was just completely offended.

“EW! You are taking some kid over me? Fucking pedophile! EW!”

Luce arched a brow. “First of all, watch your mouth. We don’t need Liam learning such foul language.” He stood up, taking the woman off his lap with ease and turning her toward the door “Secondly. Leave. Get out of my house. And don’t you ever come back. I don’t want to see your face every again. IT disgusts me.” Before the woman could say anything else, he shoved her out and closed and locked the door behind him. “Sloppy kisser anyway. Isn’t that right, Liam?” He pouted and scooped the boy up, setting him onto his hip to kiss his cheek where some chocolate was. “Mm. You do taste yummy!” He laughed happily and turned to Zea, smiling. “Sorry about that. I hadn’t realized she was such a bi--- big meanie…”
 
Zealand laughed harder as he waved to the outraged woman and then went to Lucifer and Elly with a wet paper towel to clean off his brother's hands... And Lucifer's face. "Some people really are that stupid, huh?" He shook his head and went back into the kitchen. "Sorry. He just...got away from me. It's a new development." The brunette set out another bowl and filled it with the stew that had been left by Calder earlier in the day. A smaller bowl that had been significantly cooled was also on the table for Elly.
 
Lucifer shrugged his shoulders while following to the kitchen. "I do not mind. She does not deserve my time. And she really was a sloppy kiss." He shrugged again and then set the little toddler into his high chair, smiling a bit more. "Besides, in this house? You get used to interruptions."
 
"I'll have to remember that." He smiled at the other and settled Elly in his high chair for dinner. "Where did you find her, anyway?" Of course, Zealand couldn't be the judge of a woman's beauty-he just didn't see it. But that was beside the point. While he was very clear on the point that, in this family, they encouraged you to be whoever you were with no reservations, his own sexuality hadn't come up and, really, he wasn't sure he was comfortable enough to openly discuss it. Openly oogle the male in front of him? Yes. Talk about the oogling? Not particularly.
 
Lucifer shrugged his shoulders a little. "The cafe down the street. It's rare to find a woman who doesn't find me repulsive or just completely gay so when she did not mind, I sorta took the opportunity." He shrugged his shoulders and then took a spoonful of the soup and offered it to the boy, smiling a little bit more. "You're so cute."
 
He shuddered a little bit. Zealand didn't like the idea of someone settling. "Whoever finds you repulsive has, obviously, had their eyes gouged out." He didn't say anything else, afraid that it would come out all wrong. Instead, the brunette moved to eat his dinner, focusing intently on it for the time being. He'd wanted to feed Elly, but his anger had begun to build past healthy levels and he needed to let it cool down again before attempting anything but brooding.
 
Lucifer arched a brow and turned to look at him with a grin. "So you think I'm sexy?" He asked with a happy grin. He giggled and turned to look at his brother once more. He happily fed him and giggled a little bit more. "Good?" He questioned, giggling a little more. "You're such a cutie. You'll grow up and be such a good boy. I know." He kissed his forehead and then took the bowl near him to take some of the food.
 
He wanted to point out that he wouldn't have spent that first climb up the stairs attempting to see up the male's dress if he didn't find him sexy, but Zealand bit his tongue on that comment. Instead, the brunette finished his own dinner and stood to take the bowl to the sink. He returned with another wet towel to clean off Elly's face and hands and high chair before answering with a soft shrug. "You're beautiful. It's not hard to see."
