Sing me to Sleep ((Aida/Drakary)

[ode]

Brendan waved the kid in and led him to their living room. "Your mom's taking a shower. In the meantime, what's up with this whole DrAida thing? I wasn't aware you were even seeing anyone."

[praiseofblood]

"I wasn't either, until after the shoot yesterday. It's a publicity stunt. And Aida can't even stand me," Drakary shrugged as he reclined on the couch.

[ode]

"He seems a little... absent. You need someone with more umph," he advised. He would have went on but a news boradcast from Luna suddenly appeared in the previously muted vidscreen.

(Loved how you did it last time. Could you again? You go Luna reporter!)

[praiseofblood]

"--Good news for some and bad news for all those admiring fans--DrAida is still going strong. It seems that the spat reporters witnessed last night-"

"What spat? It's a spat now?" Drakary asked, brow raised.

"--was just a minor hitch in a major romance." A picture appeared on the screen of Aida and Drake in a passionate lip lock. "It seems that hardened action star Drakary Jukar is not all tooth and nails when it comes to the beautiful pop superstar, and he to Aida's studio to apologize and was readily forgiven. We'll keep an eye on this superstar couple, and you keep your eyes right here on Luna News."

Drake rolled his eyes.

Brendan blinked and turned back to his son, "Okay, I'm waiting for that explanation now. Are you serious or is this more of Croix's bullshit?"

[praiseofblood]

"Croix's bullshit. Like I said, the diva can't even stand me." Drakary shrugged. "Though I'll admit he is a sexy little..."

[ode]

"That's how it starts. You think their ridiculously sexy and then, bam, the next thing you know you're mated," he grinned and waved at his mate as he walked by. "How long do you have to keep up this facade?"

[praiseofblood]

"Until a month or so after my movie premiere and his album drop. " Drakary sighed.

[ode]

Brendan frowned, "A month is a long time. Much longer then it takes to fall for somebody."

[praiseofblood]

"Humph, If one was meant to fall for that somebody." Drake grumped.

[ode]

"I could only imagine what it feels like having to search for your mate. Your mom and I have known we were meant to be since we were infants," he said, feeling for his son. "But you'll find him soon, son. You just have to keep an open mind."

[praiseofblood]

Drakary looked at his father. "I'll just have to take your word for it, I guess."

[ode]

Brandan patted his son's shoulder and smiled when he looked up to see Niko. "Just the mate we wanted to see. Now reassure your son that he will find his mate sooner than later."

[praiseofblood]

"My Drakie's looking for his mate?" Niko grinned.

[ode]

Brendan grinned, "He should be even if he's not." He then harrumphed. "Do you know what your son is doing? Playing media puppet and letting Croix talk him in to dating that pop boy, Aida for the next month."

A sudden scream sounded in the other room before Brendan and Niko's youngest son, Rys, came running into the living room. At 16, he was still very much a child and very much into the pop scene. "Oh my god! You're dating Aida!" He placed a hand on his forehead and took a deep breath. "I could die. Just die right now. Oh my god, do you think you could bring him over for dinner one night?" His pink portavid rung them, blaring Aida's newest song. Squealing, he answered the phone, "Tasq? Oh my god! You'll never believe who my brother is dating!" He went into his bedroom squealing his favorite pop star's name.

Brendan stared after him. "Did young kids ever act that way over me? Stars... " He shook his head. "My youngest son is psycho."
