29 You swine (1/2)

”The spaghetti is ready.” Zuna was still in her bunny onesie, as was Arius. ”Hey, you know you have a hole in your onesie, right?”

He looked down at the dried blood. ”Oh.”

”Two holes, actually.” Eirik had just come down the stairs.

”Yea, because of you.” Arius reminded.

”Remember, you asked me to shoot you.” Eirik gave him a side eye.

Arius smiled helplessly. There was that feeling again, like every simply fit together. He shook it off and went to go get the two boys.

”Dante, food's ready.” He called up after going half way up the stairs.

”Mhm!” Dante hummed back. ”I'll get Asrael.”

Arius went back down, Eirik was sitting at the dining table, and Zuna was still in the kitchen.

”Hey Eirik, what's up with your ability?” Arius sat down across from the grim man.

”It's impossible to injure me, and I also have abnormal strength.” The unenthusiastic way he talked made Arius frown.

”Is that all?” Arius had a feeling it wasn't.

”Dad doesn't like to talk about it, but he has this crazy ability that can make you feel as if you're living your greatest fears...” Zuna stopped talking for a moment before continuing, ”Or sometimes greatest hopes, but that's a rarity.”

”That's actually really cool.” Since the moment Arius had met the man, he has been fearful. Though at the same time it was strange, because he felt that Eirik would never truly try to harm him.

Arius turned his head when he heard the sound of Dantes footsteps, along with Asrael's lazy walking. The younger one immediately went towards Arius, while Asrael slowly made his way towards the end of the table.

The table had six chairs, Eirik and Zuna sat across from Arius and Dante, while Asrael sat on the end.

”What are we having?” Asrael leaned his chin into the palm of his hand with his elbow balanced on the table.

”Spaghetti.” Zuna told him.

He looked into the middle of the table. ”Where is the sauce?”
