Following Verine onto the bus, Sean rubbed his stomach as he felt it growl and tense. Verine helped him up to the top floor of the bus, asking him curiously. "Have you been eating anything before now?" Wincing, Sean groaned out. "A bit. Some sausages... Why?" Smirking to himself, Verine headed to a small fridge as he informed him. "Demon babies need raw bloody meat. Their bodies need the protein from the meat and the minerals from the blood. I've tried substitutions in the past... It didn't turn out so well. A few miscarriages... Nothing beats the real thing. So." Reaching into the fridge, Verine removed two plastic sealed bags, asking with a wicked smile. "What would you like to try? Heart or a hunk of thigh?" Slowly sitting into a seat at the small table by the jacuzzi, Sean uneasily asked. "From what?" From the bar, Anti quickly cut in. "Don't tell him, Verine! Sean, just pick. Trust me." Verine pouted, his tail flicking with light irritation as he shot back to Anti. "Oh, you're no fun." Throwing back a shot of whiskey, Anti retorted seriously. "You want him to eat it, don't you? Don't tell him." Feeling really nervous now that Anti was trying to keep him from being traumatized by something, he shrugged and told Verine. "Thigh." Verine tossed the heart beck into the fridge, then cut the bag open with a fingernail. Tearing the top open, Verine set the chuck of meat down in front of him.

Immediately the coppery smell of the blood-soaked meat hit him and made him scrunch up his nose. It didn't smell bad, but his body was telling him it was raw and to avoid it. Dipping his finger into a pool of the blood around the meat, Verine brought it to Sean's lips, telling him calmly. "Here. Taste." Sean turned his head, even as his stomach rumbled. He was starting to think that he should get up and run, when Verine smeared the blood over his lips. Flinching away, Sean made the mistake of curling his lips. It was instinctual and his tongue brushed over his lips to clean them. The second the coppery taste smeared over his tongue he froze. It was like a warm drink on a cold night. Or a cold drink bursting with flavor in the summer. Once he got a sip... he was craving it. Verine stepped back to lean on the table as he purred out to him. "It's good, right? Your body knows what your baby needs. It will naturally crave what it needs. Pay attention to it." Sean parted his lips as he the smell of blood made him eerily thirsty. Verine held the plastic under the meat down, calmly telling him. "Eat. You've been starving the poor thing. Just remember to chew it." Feeling the urge to bare his teeth, he leaned in and bit into the soft meat. Sinking his teeth deep enough to squeeze the meat until it bled for him to drink from. He bit into the meat over and over to suck all the blood that he could from it.

If he was doing this wrong, Verine didn't say anything. When he couldn't get any more blood, his teeth tore into the meat to chew on a piece. The meat was soft and melty in his mouth. It tasted just like beef from a cow, just with a bloodier texture. He enjoyed how easy it was to chew and swallowed without thinking. Verine grinned at him, whispering to him teasingly. "Feel the difference?" Sean started to shake his head, then shivered and dug his nails into the table. He could feel it now. It was a butterflies feeling but more intense and deeper down. Losing a bit of his control, he rose abruptly from the chair and attacked the meat. It was like the primal animal in him was unleashed. He just wanted to sink his teeth in and eat! Anti rose from the bar, warning Verine sternly. "Watch him, Verine." Verine raised a hand to calm Anti, telling him just as seriously. "I'm watching. But the baby needs to eat. Especially, since it's like you and Dark. Every bit of power it uses drains its power. If Sean hasn't fed it... it's hungry." Anti inched closer, warning Verine. "I'm more worried about what this will do to Sean. Verine..." Verine waved away, telling him bluntly. "You think this is my first time? I know what I'm doing, Anti. Trust me. The first feeding is always like this. Humans aren't... in touch with the animal that we are."

Lifting his head from the meat, Sean chewed and swallowed a mouthful. He felt ravenous. It was like he hadn't eaten... ever! Leaning back in, Sean tore more meat off the chuck of meat. His bits steadily getting smaller and slower. After a minute or two more, he dropped into the seat again and burped loudly. Then coughed into his bloodstained hands. Verine pulled the rest of the meat away, telling him warmly. "I'll save the rest for later. Feeling better?" Sean hiccupped but nodded. His stomach wasn't aching anymore, and he felt... stronger. Verine bagged the meat, telling him casually. "You might feel like you have superstrength. You don't. So, don't do anything stupid. What has happened is that the baby has been feeding off of you. Absorbing your DNA to grow itself. It's subtle but now that the baby needs more protein and fats, you'll feel your strength return. You'll sleep better too." Grabbing a napkin from Anti, he tried to wipe the blood off his face as he mumbled out to Verine. "How long does it take for the baby to... You know? And what will happen to me when it..." Anti snickered, blurting out. "It will burst out of ya like an Alien with wings!" Sean's eyes widened and his face paled.

Anti burst into laughter, while Verine scowled out. "That's not what happens. Anti..." Banging his fist on the glass of the bus, Anti couldn't stop laughing as he told him. "I couldn't help it. Did you see his face?!" Shoving Anti lightly to the floor, Sean blushed a deep red as he mumbled out. "Glad this is funny to you." Sitting up, Anti giggled out in return. "You're the one that believed me. Now anything he says will be a relief, right?" Sean rolled his eyes but smiled to himself. Anti wasn't wrong. Crossing his arms, Verine leaned his hip against the table, answering clearly to him. "Gestation depends on the demon. My kids can take a few months because of their wings and tails. They are born much smaller than human babies. But grow pretty quickly once born. Until their metabolism slows down. The stronger the demon... the longer it usually takes. The body has to develop enough to handle all the traits of it parents." Verine's tail swayed excitedly, his golden eyes glinting, when he told him shamelessly. "If you can handle Dark's cock at full... Giving birth to a babe about that size will be nothing for you. It's the pleasure that will put you on your ass." Sean gawked at him, anxiously asking. "What do you mean?"

Verine leaned closer, giving him a charming grin, when said in a purring voice. "Don't you remember? I pick breeders from my boys that have experience with intense pleasure. Those that can ride it out without losing their mind. I torture lesser men in my realm by impregnating them... watching them squirm as they go into labor. It's a kink of mine. It will be the same for you. When the time comes... you'll be clawing at the walls and when it's over... you might actually want to do it all over again." Narrowing his eyes on him, he asked Verine more seriously. "The men you torture... what do you do with their kids?" Verine licked his lips with slight distaste as he answered. "Khaos takes them. I don't much care for those ones. They don't share my DNA. And are often mutated monsters. I implant a blank fertile egg, like I did with you. Then inject the seaman of whatever creature I want into them. Whatever they fear the most. It's how she got the idea for... for doing the same to mine children." Verine turned away from him, his back slouching as he rested his hips back against the table and crossed his legs. Seeing the distress in his golden eyes, Sean inched closer and whispered to him. "You know... when I give birth... my kid will need someone to play with. And if you want... we could set up a play date?"

Verine chuckled, his smile so beautiful that it warmed Sean's heart to see it. Meeting his eyes, Verine purred out softly. "Wouldn't that be something." Sean smiled at him, watching Verine's eyes lower to Sean's stomach, when he asked cautiously. "Can I?" Sean instinctively looked for Dark but licked his and sweetly told him. "Sure." Pulling his shirt up to expose his belly button, Verine turned to face him better. His hand easing slowly under the hem of his pants to press his warm palm against his pelvis. Sean inhaled nervously but tried to calm himself down. Despite Verine being a demon of lust, he trusted him to keep his hand away from his cock. Yet, feeling his slender fingers in his pubic hair was enough to make his heart race. Verine stepped closer, closing his eyes. For a long minute, neither of them said anything. All Sean could do was hold up his shirt and watch Verine's tail sway thoughtfully behind him. When Verine finally opened his eyes, he leaned in to whisper against his ear wickedly. "Oh, Sean... You're going to have you hands full with this one." Blushing, Sean asked breathlessly. "What makes you say that?" Verine's lips almost pressed to his ear, when he answered in a lusty whisper. "I can see what it will grow into. Trust me, Sean... What a sight. A blue-eyed devil."

Inhaling deeply, Sean asked, a little shocked. "What is it? Boy or girl?" Verine slowly removed his hand from Sean's pants, whispering so quickly that no one else could hear. "Who told you that it's just one?" Sean stepped back from Verine with a gasp. Verine brought a hand up to his mouth, flicking his forked tongue between his raised pinky and index finger, before smugly purring out to him. "You must really turn Dark on. None of my boys have had THAT happen." Sean stepped closer to Verine, boldly ordering. "What happened? Verine, tell me!" Putting a finger under his chin, Verine lifted Sean's chin, whispering over his lips. "You might want to hurry up with this wedding... before you start showing, Sweetheart." Sean narrowed his eyes on Verine, pushing him back up against the bar as he ordered more seriously. "Tell me what you saw?" Smirking wickedly, Verine whispered to him. "Don't you want to be surprised?" Clutching Verine's golden necklace, Sean tightened it around his neck, stating protectively. "I'd rather not be. I've had more than enough surprises from demons. Just tell me. So, that I won't lose sleep with worry." Verine glanced behind Sean, before whispering softly with a deep throaty purr. "You're having twins, Sean. From what I've seen... A dark haired and blued eyed boy. And a little girl. Same eyes as Dark. One red. One blue. I see her being Daddy's little devil. She looks like Anti. But the boy... He looks like Dark. He has little horns on his head. Their cute."

Releasing Verine, Sean covered his mouth. Trying to force himself not to tear up, when he said a bit strained now. "You see... Oh, Verine." Verine rested his arms on the bar behind him, casually telling him. "I can't see the future. I can just see a glimpse of how the babies turn out... if they make it. And since I could see Russ's daughter for the first time... I have a feeling things are going to change for us all." Biting his lower lip, Sean asked him quietly. "None of your boys have had twins before?" Verine shook his head, shrugging out. "Not to my knowledge. But I'm warning you know... birth for you... I might have to be changed into another room. You're going to wear Dark out. I can barely handle my boys when they give birth to just one." Sean nibbled his lower lip, then jumped clear out of his skin, when Dark asked from behind him. "Everything alright? Verine...?" Verine glanced down at the position he was in. Closing his legs and straightening up off the bar, Verine nervously chuckled out. "It's not what it... Sean pushed me, I swear." Sean giggled, coming to Verine's rescue when he cut in. "Ya, I did. I was emotional. Sorry, Verine." Dark narrowed his eyes on Verine, who chuckled and slid down the bar to get away.

Dark's hand wrapped around Sean's waist, asking him softly. "Are you ok? You look a little... red." Sean shrugged, honestly replying. "I ate. I feel better. I just... I'm having trouble getting my emotions to level out. I feel like emotions just keep spiking randomly." Dark's arms pulled him up against his chest, hugging him, when he told him in a deep soothing voice. "I've got you. Just breathe." Sean nodded, relaxing in his arms. It did help. He thought about telling Dark but smiled at the idea of keeping it a secret from him for now. With another purr, Dark licked his cheek and Sean squealed away. Grinning, Dark grabbed Sean's chin, turning his face back to his when he purred out. "Your face is dirty. Let me help." Sean squealed more as Dark playfully licked his cheeks before drawing him in for a long passionate kiss. Draping his arms over Dark's shoulders, Sean refused to break the kiss. Dark's hands grabbed his thighs, spreading them to heft him up into his arms. Carrying him to the window, Dark lightly slammed Sean's back against the glass and growled into their kiss. He wanted Dark to fuck him here and now. Only to have Verine clear his throat and tell them. "Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves, boys?"

Dark growled deeper and with more irritation but allowed Verine to say. "Look, I'm all for you fucking right here. I'd love to watch that go down... but... shouldn't you be saving that? We're a few hours away from Envy's realm. We could-" Letting Sean down, Dark turned to snarl out. "No. We're not going to waste our time with Envy, Gluttony, or Greed. One. We don't need them to witness since Khaos has agreed to allow our bond. Two. They'll never turn against her. And three..." Dark turned to look Sean over, before purring out. "I want to do this before Sean starts showing. That way he can... rest." Snorting, Verine stated in. "Don't you mean, you won't let them imagine that THEY knocked him up." Dark shot Verine a look, but Verine casually retorted. "I'm lust. I know. The shit I think of would give you nightmares." Starting to walk away, Verine told them with a smile. "We'll head straight to Pride then. But Dark... You should wash him first. Edge him a bit. It will be good for him." Sean shot Verine a look this time, but Verine just waved and flicked his tail as he went down the steps. Dark waited as Anti carefully swiped his bottle of whiskey off the bar. His eyes locked knowingly with Sean, making him wonder how much he had heard or knew.

As he reached the steps, Anti lifted the bottle and toasted Dark with a smug smile. "I'm happy for ya. I hope you can get it up in front of everyone. It would really be funny if you- AH!" Sean jumped as a redtail wrapped around Anti's neck and yanked him down the stairs. They heard Anti fall down every fucking step, before shouting out. "Verine! You bitch! I'll scratch your eyes out!" From below, Verine playfully teased out. "Oh, I'm so scared. You got the reflexes of a fermented squirrel!" There was hissing and the sounds of things crashing around. Leaving Dark to say over his shoulder with a shrug. "You know... There is a good chance our kid will turn out like him. I'm not sure how I feel about that." Sean could only laugh. It took everything he had not to tell Dark that he could very well end up with a female version of Anti. To Be Continued...
