Loving a Stranger (Nikita/Kira)

[praiseofblood]

"It's time for dinner. We have to go inside." Kira said, smoothing the male's black hair from his pretty eyes.

[clementine]

Nikita's eyes slipped shut again as he leaned against Kira's hand. "'Kay." The teen finally murmured, gracefully standing up and offering his hand to the Zercan.

[praiseofblood]

Kira stood, wrapping an arm about Nikita's shoulder and they began to walk back to the kitchen. "Hungry?" he asked the younger teen, brushing a bit of grass from his hair.

[clementine]

Nikita happily leaned into Kira. "Yes!" He chirped as they went into the house.

[praiseofblood]

Kira and Nikita arrived in the kitchen, where Kira blanched upon the sight of Radish at the table, looking grumpy.

"Rad?"" Kira asked, blinking.

Radish's eyes flicked up to Kira, and then slid over to Nikita. "Greetings." he grumped.

[clementine]

"Hello!" Nikita chirped, seeming not to notice the male's bad mood. Kira put the vampire completely at ease and he didn't mind coming out of his shell. "I'm Nikita. What's your name?" He asked Radish.

[praiseofblood]

Raddish observed the halfling before he sniffed. "I am Radish." He said plainly, "Are you my brother's newest toy?" He asked.

"Radish!" Kira said, glaring.

[clementine]

Nikita flushed and smacked Radish. "No. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't refer to me as such." He demanded of the male haughtily.

[praiseofblood]

Radish's head snapped to the side, and he looked at the male with a glare. Kira pulled Nikita behind him. "Leave him be, you shouldn't have opened your mouth in the first place." Kira growled at his little brother, making Nikita sit down at the table, while Radish just stared hard at him.

[clementine]

Nikita pouted, glaring just as hard at Radish. He sat down when Kira made him, but he hissed at the odious male, baring his teeth. Who did Radish think he was anyways, treating him like that?

[praiseofblood]

"Both of you knock it off. " Shion growled at them. "Radish apologize and Nikita you too for striking him. Kira sit down so everyone can eat." Shion said, rolling his eyes at his children.

Radish looked slowly at Nikita, not uttering a word. Shion smacked him on the back of his head and he growled a bit. "Apologies."

[clementine]

Nikita crossed his arms. "Yes, sorry for hitting you." Granted he sounded a bit more sincere than Radish, but not by much.

[praiseofblood]

Shion looked satisfied and he went back to making everyone's plates

[clementine]

Nikita forgot all about Radish and ignored him for the most part as he chatted happily with Kira. Kaleos help serve the plates, giving Radish a fatherly pat on the head before sitting down as well.

[praiseofblood]

Everyone began to eat, and the mood in the room lightened to something a bit more familial. Radish still brooded and poured over a new equation, ignoring his mother and brother like he always had.
