Sing me to Sleep ((Aida/Drakary)

"Oh yeah, we're superstar aliens, go figure." Drake said, looking at the kid. "Hungry?" He asked, heading for the kitchen and getting out the ingredients for a homemade lasagna.

"OKay... okay..." Roux took a deep breath. "My new parents are gay aliens. I'm on a space ship... or at least think I am..." He then finally got a look at aida when he took his jacket off. "Holy hell! Are you Pregnant?"

[praiseofblood]

"He is," Drake said, "It's a big long story, but short story is males can reproduce with our mates--also males. Females with females. There are Givers, and Bearers--who are like you human's dad and moms. Aida's your mom," he grinned.

Roux sat down and took a deep breath. It took a good fifteen minutes before he spoke again. "If that's the trade off for getting a new family and a new life, then I'll take it." That said, he stood and hugged first Aida and then Drake. "So this means I'll have two brothers then? Awesome!"

[praiseofblood]

Drake chuckled, "Yeah," He said with a smile, happy that the boy was taking things well. "D'you know your mom's a famous popstar?" he asked.

Roux turned his gaze to Aida, "Awesome. So you guys are, like, famous? Sweet!"

If everyone was famous, he doubted there would be much time left for him.

That wasn't true at all, but Roux didn't know that. "Hey Roux, wanna come help with dinner?" Drake called to the kid, "We can talk while we cook." he said with a smile.

[ode]

Roux perked up a bit, "Sure." That said, he headed in and helped the man prepare the sauce. "How come you know how to cook Earth food if you're an alien?"

[praiseofblood]

"Believe it or not, Earth food is popular in our galaxy," Drake said.

[ode]

"Cool. So I wont have to eat weird alien food. What's my new home called?" he asked as he stirred the sauce.

[praiseofblood]

"Mentisquiar." Drake said, looking at the boy. "Do you like music or art or anything?" he asked the boy.

[ode]

"I listen to music," he shrugged. "I don't really get art. I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I got old enough. Like maybe in the Air Force or something. I don't suppose there is anything like that on Mentsar?" he asked.

[praiseofblood]

"Actually there is. They help ward the Prasidion army off of us." he said to the male
