Thread: Flames and Lies (Kaname Takashi & BloodandChocolate)

No. At the word, Genesis eyes immediately moved down to look at the table. His heart clenched a bit and his back stiffened. I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to come out so harsh. I just ... I don't think passing on my DNA is such a good idea and Okay, so it wasnt necessarily about having kidsjust biological ones? It still stung a bit though, adoptions were hard. Vampiric adoption were extremely rare to come by, considering the terrible need for pureblood families to reproduce. Even if there was an orphaned child, extended family tended to take them in for the sake of their lines continuation. With Genesis status as a changeling, their chances of that occuring were even less. Even with a human childvampire society wanted to keep the human and supernatural worlds separate. And with their lifespans and how fragile humans tended to be, Genesis was nervous to even consider the option. A little Zane would have given them legitimacy to keep the child. People could complain and threaten all they wanted about the changelings participation, but with Zane as the biological father theyd have no right to separate their family. That and a child from Zane would have felt more like thier baby. Those warm chocolate eyes and great cheekbones would have made a beautiful child. Zane removing his hand stung, causing the changelings jaw to clench. I guess I didnt realized this was something you thought about. Bruce aside, I guess I figured if you'd wanted a family, you would have had one by now. Genesis took a moment to rub his hands together under the table, blue eyes still focused on the plate in front of him. Because I wanted a family with someoneand Ive never wanted to start of family with someone before you. There was a slight bite to his words. It was like Zane thought it was so easy for Genesis to do. Abruptly the older man stood, gulping down the remainder of what was in his glass and tossing his silverware onto his rather untouched dinner plate. Believe it or not Zane, youre my first in a lot of things, especially the stuff I never thought I could have. Blue eyes wondered over to his lover and the changeling flinched. Zane looked tired. With the purebloods' maturity over the years, Genesis had learned to not keep such a tight hold on his emotions. Their partnership allowed that switch, but sometimes the older male needed to remember just how young Zane was in comparison. He sat back down, calmly this time and refilled his wine glass. Maybe in another decade they would revisit the matter, or another decade after thator maybe Genesis would have to put that idea back in the never box at the back of his mind. It was hard, but hed do it for Zane, after all wants came and went, but having someone to spend eternity with wasnt always something a person could find. You know, Genesis started, more quietly this time. Youd make a wonderful father. A slight smile curled his lips as he thought about it. Its hard to worm a way into your heart, but once thereyou love so big and so hard Zane. Youd make a happy home for any kid, especially because of how unstable yours was and I know thats what scares you the most. With his eyes focused on his lover, Genesis reached out once more and gripped the youngers hand tightly. You are not your father, He paused for a moment, not wanting to say it but it needed to be said, so Genesis simply gave Zane a reassuring squeeze. Or your mother. He finished in a more quiet voice.
