((Protecting Results-- Xiomar/Vali))

[fearless]

Vali made his sandwhich then handed it to him with a sweet smile. "Xiomar what would you like on your sandwich?" he asked softly getting his bread.

[mesmu]

"I don't care," He says as he watches Vali interact with his brother.

[fearless]

Vali made him the same one then one for himself as well. Once he finished eating he helped Kurro clean up. "Sweetheart would you like dessert?" he asked softly smiling down to Kurro. He watched him waiting, "We have apple pie...then your going to have to take a nap alright?"

[mesmu]

Kurro smiles and nods, "Please? PLEASE?" And Xiomar simply shakes his head at the eager boy. Waiting to have a private talk with Vali when the youngest is put to sleep.

[fearless]

Soon Vali has Kurro in bed, he sings to him softly as he falls asleep then sneaks out quietly. He notices Xiomar waiting for him as he exits but ignores him as he walks towards him room, not wanting to talk.

[mesmu]

"You can't ignore me forever, regardless of where we stand to each other. You live under my roof, start acting like it," Xiomar growls lowly when Vali just walks past him. "I just wanted to ask you how!"

[fearless]

Vali looked to him, "It was your father who did it, he treats me like some pet project. I'm sorry, and I know you did not want children, especially from me, but you don't have to worry they are mine, I will take care of them." He touched his stomach sighing, "You hate me we can't raise children together."

[mesmu]

"I don't hate you," Xiomar says emotionlessly. "I hate what's growing inside you."

[fearless]

Vali gasped moving away from him, "Why?" he demanded. "They're just babies...they won't hurt you...and I won't let you hurt them..."

[mesmu]

"They aren't natural," He says coldly. "Abominations."

[fearless]

Vali bristled, "They are my babies and I will not let you hurt them. They might not be natural but they are not abominations. Neither are you, or Kurro or any one of your siblings. I don't want you talking that way around me..."

[mesmu]

"Why?" Xiomar growls again. "Because you're a not failed experiment unlike Kurro?"

[fearless]

Vali glared, "Kurro is not a failed experiment," he muttered. He moved close angry with him and hit him hard right across the jaw, "Don't talk about him like that. And I don't want you near me or my children..." he muttered then rushed towards his room. He knew Xiomar would be angry with him, but he couldn't help getting mad himself. Xiomar was so mean to Kurro, so was there parents he wouldn't let anyone hurt Kurro, turn him into some cold monster like the rest of the family, Vali would change him.

[mesmu]

Xiomar glares after Vali, but turns and heads off to his own bed. No need to unsettle the whole house over a little disagreement.

---

Kurro had been watching through a crack in his door way. Hearing those two fight again he sighs, but then when Vali said what he did the toddler makes a quick decision. He's gonna make sure those two see what they truly feel for each other. Even if he has to trick them into it. With this warm and fuzzy thing set in his mind he returns to his bed and slips in for a good night's rest.

[fearless]

Vali went to his room and quickly got ready for bed. He touched his stomach then looked to his calendar knowing the next morning he had a check up, and he was worried.

~~~

The next morning he gave Kurro his breakfast then settled him into the nursery. With a promise to be back soon and a kiss on the forehead he heads to the laboratory. "Mr. Spauldyng?" he called. "I'm here for my check up..."
