EP.124|Big Brothers

Ben tossed and turned in his bed, ever since the wedding he hasn’t be able to get much sleep. Anytime he would try to, Lucifer’s thoughts filled his head somehow.

He could hear screaming, which would result in Ben screaming and waking up.

“HELP ME!!!” Lucifer yelled, Ben groaned, he saw Lucifer kneeling there, holding his head, tears streaming down his face.

He walked closer to see Lucifer crying, clenching his knees and rocking back and forth. “L-Lucifer?” Ben asked, Lucifer looked up at him. He tackled Ben, crying even more.

“Ben! Oh my gods! Oh my gods! You’re so grown and tall and you look just like mom, but with dad’s eyes. Oh my gods! Mom and dad...how are they?” Lucifer hasty asked.

“Do you not remember anything?” Ben asked. “No...oh gods...what did I do? Did I hurt you?” Lucifer started to sob again.

“Um...Lucifer, you’ve hurt millions islands…and your telling me you don't remember?” Ben asked, Lucifer shook his head.

“I’ve been trapped in here ever since Dixie-sensei died.” Lucifer told him. “You’re telling me you’ve been in here for 12 years?” Ben was surprised.

“Has it really been that long?” Lucifer asked, Ben tackled Lucifer into a hug. “I knew the outside you wasn’t the real you.” Ben smiled.

“I’m sorry for everything I did.” Lucifer muttered. “Don't worry, it wasn’t the real you.” Ben released the hug.

Lucifer then noticed the ring on Ben’s hand “are you married?” Ben nodded. “Her name’s Mal.” Ben smiled. Lucifer began to cry again, “I didn’t get an invite to the wedding!”

“Well…” Ben began, “you kinda crashed it and used Nirvana to make me attack Mal.”

Lucifer sighed, “I’m sorry...again.”

“Hey, look, we’re gonna get you out of here.” Ben promised him. “It’s sweet of you to say,” he looked away from Ben “but the reality is impossible.”

Ben rested his hand on Lucifer’s shoulder “nothing’s impossible, Lucifer.”

“Ben, as long as Araden has full control over my body I can't stop him,” Lucifer sighed, looking down “I’m forever trapped here.”

“Who’s Araden?” Ben inquired. “A demon, he’s the reason why so many islands are getting destroyed, he’s fixated on finding the grail, I’ve tried stopping him but it’s no use.”

“I do want Swan back, and the grail would help me do it, but not if it means killing millions of innocent people.” Lucifer shivered remembering all the horrible images he was forced to watch.

“I promised Swan when we were little that I would protect the earth right alongside her,” Lucifer looked at his hands “now look at what I’ve done! Millions killed by my own selfish greed.”

“I’ve failed Swan miserably, all I wanted to do was make her happy and destroying the planet she watched over and cared for for thousands of years would only make her hate me more.”

“She’s probably looking down at me in shame.”

“Lucifer, I’m sure she isn't, Swan, whoever she is, doesn't hate you.” Ben told him. “Wait, you don't know who she is?” Lucifer questioned, Ben shook his head.

“Milton said she was the princess of the realm of the Black Swan but that’s pretty much it.” Ben replied.

“Are you kidding me? She’s been here the entire time, ever since the begging, you just never notice her, heck I can’t even notice her at times!” Lucifer exclaimed. “Huh?” “Ben, she’s the reason for everything that’s happened!”

“I’m still confused.” Ben said.

Lucifer sighed, shaking his head, “do I have to spell it out for you Ben? Swan is the n-”

Ben shot up, his face covered in sweat, breathing heavily.

“mmm...Ben?” Mal yawned, rubbing her eyes. “What happened?” Mal asked.

“It’s Lucifer, the one we see, the one who’s killing millions, it isn't him.” Ben breathlessly said.

“Ben, you’re going crazy, lay down.” Mal yawned again. “But I’m not Mal, I talked to him in a dream.”

“He’s been trapped inside his own mind since Dixie-sensi’s death. Araden has been controlling his body and making him do all these horrible things.”

“Seriously?” Mal asked. “Yeah, we have to save Lucifer.” Ben clenched Mal’s shoulder. “Ben, I don't know, this may be a trick. Lucifer has done some sneaky mind tricks in the past. Who’s to say he isn't doing it now?” Mal questioned.

“I know my brother, he isn't, trust me Mal.” Ben kissed Mal’s forehead. “You’re lucky I trust you.” Mal smiled.

“I love you, Mal.” Ben whispered. “Show me.” Mal smirked, Ben smiled wickedly.

Mal shivered with excitement. Ben pinned Mal’s wrist and began kissing her neck licking over the mark, Mal gasped and threw her head back.

“F*ck, Ben!” Mal felt Ben’s hands run down her thighs, Ben smirked and bit her earlobe softly, he knew her ears were her weak point.

The look on her face when Ben nibble on her ear slightly made Ben just want to rip off all her clothing and f*ck her.

“Ben! Ahhh~oh my gods!” Mal arched her back, Ben clenched Mal’s round butt. “Just take me already!” Mal begged.

“Patience my dear...I wanna give you the most pleasurable experience possible.” Ben whispered. Mal gasped, Ben cupped one of her breast, Mal clenched Ben’s brown locks.

He began to kiss atop her chest, he looked up at her and smirked, he towarder over her and unclipped her bra.

“Let me show you how a king treats his queen.” Ben whispered.

CJ shook Jasper awake, he groaned and turned to face CJ. “What do you want?” Jasper sighed.

“I need you to do the thing again.” CJ shivered, Jasper unwrapped his arms from CJ and stood up.

“Let’s do it outside, I don't want to wake blueberry.” Jasper said as CJ nodded, the two walking outside. “Lay down.” CJ laid down on the grass.

Jasper’s hands coated in lava as he hovered them over CJ’s body.

“You weren’t even asleep were you?” CJ chuckled. “No, I was spooning Evie the entire time.” Jasper blushed.

“You know, I’m gonna tell you something only because I know your in such a committed with Evie and I know it won't change your views on her.” CJ took a deep breath in and out.

“Before I was madly in love with Carlos, I liked you for a little bit.” CJ chuckled, Jasper eyes widened. “What?” Jasper chuckled.

“Yeah, for a couple of weeks I liked you, but then I saw the way you and Evie looked at each other,” CJ sighed, “I knew I couldn't ruin something so powerful.”

“The love you and Evie share is so magical, when Evie got back from her first date with you she wouldn't shut up about how amazing it was.” CJ chuckled.

“But honestly, you’re like a big brother to me. My perverted big brother.” CJ smiled. “How?” Jasper chuckled.

“Well think of it this way, us VK’s, and Ben, are like this big happy family. You and Hunter are my big brother, Evie and Operetta are my two friends that keep coming over, and Zeref and Carlos our my cousins, Freddie’s my big sis, and Mal and Ben are the mom and dad.”

“I guess we are kinda like a family.” Jasper smiled. “You’ve changed so much, Jasper.” CJ sighed. “No I haven’t, I’m still the same old Jasper.” Jasper shook his head.

“Jasper, do you remember what happened the day after you met Evie? Cause I do.” CJ narrated.

CJ and Evie walked down the hallways of Arcana Prep, Evie clenched her books close to her chest.

What she didn’t know was that Jasper was watching her every step, he was mostly watching her chest go up and down, her hips swaying side to side.

“Not bad...not bad at all.” Jasper smirked. “Stop being a weirdo!” Carlos scolded. “I’m not being a weirdo, I just find it amazing that gravity’s cruel grasp hasn’t found those perky miracles yet.” Jasper licked his lips.

“Just like a weirdo.” Carlos muttered. “Oh hi CJ!” Jasper called over, CJ hugged Jasper, “hi big bro!” CJ smiled widely. “Hi, Carlos.” CJ greeted, she hugged Carlos as well.

“Oh joy, it’s the pervert.” Evie scoffed. “Hello, blueberry.” Jasper kissed Evie’s hand, his hands ran up to Evie’s chest.

“Soft, nice.” Jasper smirked. “Y-You pe-per-pervert!” Evie squealed. “Don't say that blueberry” Jasper leaned in “one day, I’ll be able to see everything under the surface.” Evie eeped.

“And you’ll be able to see mines,” Evie shivered, her face turned red “I think you’ll be pretty impressed.” Jasper could feel how Evie’s body was shaking.

“It’ll fill a lot of holes in your life.” Evie’s face grew hot. “KYA! Stop it! Baka! Baka! Baka!” Evie exclaimed.

“Awe, what, can't handle the heat, Evie? Is it because,” Jasper leaned in, “it’s too big?” Evie began breathing heavily.

“I-I-I...I...I…” Evie staggered. “Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!” Evie squeaked. “Pl-Please sto-stop tea-teasing me!” Evie stammered.

“No way, it’s fun seeing you squirm, meet me at the hotel tonight, don't be late.” Jasper whispered.

“What happened that night anyways?” CJ asked. “It’s like I said, I filled a lot of holes.” Jasper winked. CJ laughed, “you’re such an idiot.” “see I haven’t changed one bit,” Jasper sighed.

“I beg to differ, Jasper, after this mission you and Evie are adopting Raja! That’s a huge change!” CJ acknowledged.

“That’s the thing….” Jasper sighed. “Is something wrong with Raja?” CJ asked.

“Ever since we left Misty, I’ve been worried that Lucifer may have attacked the island again. I know Raja is strong but she barely has control over her crystal magi.” Jasper explained.

“I can check one of the dolls if you want.” CJ suggested. “Dolls?” Jasper questioned. “Each island we visit I leave a little paper doll there so I can monitor the islands just in case Lucifer came back.”

“Is there one on Misty?” Jasper asked. “Of course.” CJ sat up and reached into her bag, bringing out a crystal orb.

“Show me Misty Archipelago.” CJ said as the orb reveal the Misty Archipelago. “Hey look it’s Raja.” Jasper pointed to the orb to see Raja writing a letter.

“Dear, mommy and daddy.” Raja began to write.

“She’s so cute it makes my heart hurt.” Jasper gushed.

“I really miss you guys, I know you two and out on a mission to save the world, kind like superheros but you’re VK’s so would that make you guys the bad guys?”

“Kianna says writing to you would help pass the time but it’s been months now since you two left. It must be exciting seeing the whole world. Ramona says the world outside of Misty is magical, there’s so many plants and animals!”

“How many bad guys did you fight? Did you find the grail yet? How are the other VK’s? Do you know what a rainbow looks likes? There isn't many here in Misty.”

“Oh! Have you ever seen a peacock? Cerise says they’re these birds that have really colorful feather. Hey, when you come back can I get a bunny? Everytime I find one Ramona ends up eating it saying it “lunch”.”

“But then again, she is a werewolf so that makes sense. Are there really werewolves on other islands? Ramona said years ago there used to be an island specifically for werewolves but it sunk.”

“Did you find Swan yet? Kianna says she’s her best friend. She met her in a cherry blossom forest on a different island. Do they have those on the other islands? What about ice cream? Do they have that?”

“Can you turn into fire, Jasper? I saw in a book that people who use Lava Scorch can do that. Oh! What’s a red panda? Is it as big as a regular panda? I’m probably asking way to many questions, I’m just so excited, I can't wait till you come back.”

“That is, if you two come back, Ramona said there’s a small chance you would survive the mission. But you’re coming back, right? You said you would. You promised…”

“I should probably stop writing before I start sobbing. Anyways, I just wanted to see how everything was going, it’s all good here in Misty.”

CJ turned off the orb to see Jasper was crying a bit “you okay, big bro?” CJ asked. “Y-yeah, I guess I was worried for nothing.” Jasper sniffled.

“Told ya.” CJ punched him playfully. The two laid down next to each other, looking at the stars.

“So, enough about me, what about you and Carlos?” Jasper questioned. “I miss him a lot, I wanna punch whoever has him kidnapped in the face, and I also wanna punch Carlos.” CJ growled.

“I get whoever locked him up, but why Carlos?” Jasper asked. “I’m mad at him! He left me without warning and now we had to go save him! If he never left in the first place then we wouldn't need to come here!”

“You know, I get it Carlos likes animals a lot but-” “He didn’t just go because of the animals.” Jasper chuckled. “What?” CJ asked.

“Ever since he found out someone marked you before he did he’s been really down in the dumps.”

“He went here to Mimosa because he wanted to prove himself, he sensed that the person who marked you is here.”

“So, he thought if he could beat whoever it is, he would finally be able to prove to himself that he’s worthy of your love.” Jasper explained.

CJ was so confused, she was mad at Carlos for leaving, but now, after hearing this, CJ didn’t know what to feel.

She sighed and shook her head “Carlos makes it impossible for me to hate him at times.”

“He only did this because he loves you CJ.” Jasper said. CJ nodded, she loved Carlos as well, now, it was her turn to save him.

I’ll get you back Carlos, no matter what.
