The Tormentor and his Savior (Hero x Villain) (bxb) (short story) - Chapter 14: Chapter 14

APOLLO MORNINGSTAR
"Baby, stop running around, you know your father's tired and he needs rest." I tell Lily softly.
Her fire red hair ignores my comment as she continues to run around me in circles, happily giggling adorably making it hard to stay mad at her.
Alastor is on the couch, resting his forearm on his eyes as Evan sits on his abdomen. Tilting his head to the side as he looks at Alastor like an adorable puppy. His red hair, much like Lily's, is an adorable mess. Only his is of fatigue while Lily's is of restlessness.
Opposites yet attached to the hip.
Alastor and I adopted twins after three years of blissful marriage. All that Villain and Hero stuff we still do only once a month. Just to make sure the city isn't burning itself down.
I've become a full time stay at home dad. Which is a promotion from full time stay at home husband.
Alastor just got back from work and I can tell from the dark circles under his eyes he hasn't gotten much sleep.
Lily running around in circles isn't helping either.
Alastor removes his forearm from his eyes and stretches it out. Lily runs to his embrace with a giddy smile.
"Lily pad?"
"Yes Dada!"
"I'm tired and I need sleep, but I can't do that when I hear cute little footsteps running around my husband." He tickles her stomach as she begs him to stop.
"Okay okay I'll stop!!" She giggles out, struggling to breathe from her joyful laughter.
"Good, now I'm sure it's your bed time so why don't you and your brother go upstairs and get ready for bed. If your done by the time I get up there we can get ice cream tomorrow." I promise them.
Their eyes light up. "Okay! Evan let's go! Quick quick!!" She runs up the stairs, dragging her younger twin with her.
Alastor sits up a bit, opening his legs for me to sit in between them.
I do, leaning against his chest. Closing my eyes as I feel the stress disappear from the earlier air.
"Apollo, Lily has become a little minx already, huh?" He jokes, biting my ear.
Blush spreads on my cheeks but I nod nonetheless. "What happens when she gets her period and goes through puberty? She won't have a mom to tell her what to do... what if I'm not good enough?" I spill my ongoing worries out.
"Darling, you are enough. But if she needs extra feminine support, then my sister will always be there. So will my mother. She will be fine. As long as you don't freak out, that'll make her freak out."
"Okay, what's up with your day and worries, Love." I ask, kissing the back of his hand as I turn my head to look at him.
"We've just lost a major deal that could've gained us millions, but the managers were assholes with sticks so far up their asses you'd need Sherlock Holmes to find them."
"Are you worried about it?" I ask.
"Nah, they'll come crawling back in a week or two. They need us. We want them. Ones for necessity the other is for opulence." He shrugs.
I nod, feeling myself drift away before two adorable red heads pop up in my head.
I slowly get up, detaching myself from Alastor "I'll go check on the kids-" I suddenly get pulled back in to a mouth watery kiss.
His tongue intrudes itself in my mouth, flipping us as he does, so I'm laid back with him straddling my waist.
I moan into the kiss as I feel him grind on my hard on.
And suddenly everything stop.
I'm stuck in a daze as I catch a whisper of heavy footsteps running up the stairs.
A good 10 minutes pass before I reconnect with my conscious and my dick has finally calmed down. After adopting kids Alastor and I lacked the time and privacy to... you know.. and it's rare that we do anything at all... hence why every whisper of touch sends a signal to my dick.
"Kids... right." I mumble under my breath, climbing up the stairs to go check on them.
By the time I reach the shared kids bedroom Alastor the bastard is telling the twins jokes and entertaining their want of staying up.
"Are those kids awake?" I think out loud, tapping my finger against my chin as I stop infront of the door.
They both gasp and quickly fall in fake sleeping position. Alastor laughs, getting up from the edge of Evan's bed.
He plants a kiss on my cheek. "I'm gonna go shower, if your asleep by the time I get back I'll take you out to dinner tomorrow night."
I bite the inside of my cheek as I think. He could he saying it as a joke, a cover of my earlier bargain with the fiery twins. However I so badly wish he isn't. When he gets home from work he's tired and he leaves just after I wake up. Sometimes I bring him lunch though most of the time he's too busy to even visit me in his office to see me. Instead he'll send me a message telling me how thankful he is.
Don't get me wrong, I will forever be grateful for everything this man does for us and the kids... however I'll always miss him when I barely see him a day.
"It won't be somewhere fancy, you hate those. So we'll go to the movies. Or a park. Or the beach. Maybe even a fast food just the two of us. Isa won't mind babysitting."
A bright smile covers my face once I realize he isn't just joking. "I'll be fast asleep."
"... Actually I'd rather you not, I'll still take you out but I want to kiss you goodnight alright."
"Go shower Alastor." I smile as I peck his lips.
He rolls his eyes but does as I say.
I turn back to my redheads. I plant a kiss on each of their foreheads. "Goodnight my fire ants, love you to the moon and beyond."
"Night papa, love you!" They both simultaneously slur, exhaustion catching up with their bodies.
I close the door to their room, heading into my own as I think about my life.
From me being in hell to having a heaven all to myself.
