Chapter Text
"Class dismissed!"
The group of new reapers left the classroom with the book bags on their shoulders. Among them were a set of twins. According to their records, they had committed suicide in a sisterly pack of familial love. The Michaelis twins or so they were called.
" I'm starving V."
"You're always starving. Your problem is you don't know how to control that sweet tooth of yours."
Adorlee frowned staring at the folder in her arms. "Are you saying I gotta wait until I'm done with homework before I can get a snack?!"
Venita smirked giving a glance at her. "You better believe it." she replied.
Adorlee turned her head, spotting some small group of the men from her class. She quickly opened her blazer undoing just enough buttons on her blouse to see her cleavage. She left her sister giving a small, friendly cough. "Excuse me?"
The group of young men settled down staring at her body. "Ca- can we help you?"
"I'm having such a hard time with this assignment... I was hoping one of you could help me. I mean, I don't want to be rude and bother you."
The boys stared with their mouths open as they fought amongst themselves on who would get such an honour. Finally deciding to have their smartest member to take the task.
Adorlee gave him a hug handing off the paperwork." Aren't you the sweetest thing." She kissed his cheek leaving to join her sister. "Now, we can eat."
The older twin rolled her eyes. It was nothing new but, she hated that her sister used her charms to get through the academy.
"What?" asked her sister. "If they're dumb enough to fall for it, they should have to pay for it."
One of the older reaper moved towards them. He looked and even walked like a total tool. "Hello girls." he greeted.
Adorlee waved nudging her sister towards him. "Afternoon. We were on our way to get some lunch, if you wanted to join us?"
"I like the sound of that. What do you say, Ita?"
"It's Venita to you. If you can't remember that, Michaelis will do."
"Come on now. There's no need to be so rude. I can make it worth your time." His hand reaching out to grab her waist.
"What do you think you're doing?" asked a voice coming from behind them.
The young man realised who it was. He froze seeing their elder with the two toned hair. "M- Mr. Knox !"
He moved closer yanking his off his niece. "You should know better than to force a young lady to date you. Get out of here before I do something about it."
He left without another word. Adorlee hugged her uncle tightly. "I was wondering when you'd come see us! Busy day?"
"Most days. Can you believe some gents these days? They act so damn desperate for a date."
Venita kept her mouth shut from commenting on his own love life. "Did you really come down here to visit us?"
"Of course! I wanted to send something good to your parents. After all, your mother would kill me if I came to see you and never said how you guys were."
The two sister stood side-by-side walking with their uncle. As much as Ronald wasn't one for children, he grew to like the two. He was more of a fan of their younger brother. A perverted little Casanova just like him.
" Are you guys done with your classes today? Maybe I could offer some free lunch?"
The redhead's eyes illuminated brightly hearing at the offers of free food. "I am absolutely starving! Did you know that V keeps telling me that I should do my work first before I eat?! How is a girl going to have any energy for thinking and studying if she hasn't had a good meal?"
Venita rolled her eyes as they walked. "I said, she needs to work on her grades and worry less about relaxing."
Ronald groaned shaking his head. " You both are starting to sound just like your older brother and your mother. Am I going to have to relive those days? One bickering and the other one saying how our work needs to be done?"
The girls looked at their Uncle completely unsure to either be insulted or complimented. The brunette shook her head and knowing that it was for the best. Everyone had told her since she was little that she was almost exactly like her older brother.
The redhead just stared wondering how her mother was like in her youth. The way she saw her mother now was rather peculiar. She was the one to address her father to make sure that the children were all right. She was a bit rebellious true, but she was the worrywart of the two.
"I don't think you have to worry about much. My grades are completely immaculate. as for her, I would say that she's passing with grades from other people."
The older sister pointed to her younger sister knowing exactly what she meant. The younger of the twins had no shame in using others for her grades. She was passing, what else mattered?
The young man looked over at the two. He couldn't help but feel as if he really was reliving his youth all over again. He shook his head leading the girls out to the courtyard. "Do you two plan to go and visit during your break?"
"Are you kidding?!" asked Adorlee in a excited tone. "I can't wait to see them! Daddy said he'd be back from his contract by the time we go visit."
Venita sighed hugging onto her things. " I suppose it's time we went home. It's been a while since we've seen anyone."
Ronald moved ahead, walking with them to their dorms. A small glimmer of joy brought back memories of his days as a naive idiot. "Get packed and I'll escort you down. Just wait for me by my flat on Saturday. Now, let's go get some food."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grell looked into the mirror of her vanity. Her asymmetrical braid looked really cute for a reunion with her husband. Sebastian had been gone for more than five years. At least, he wouldn't be gone as long as the last time.
She heard the front door open making her rush down the step. "Darling?!"
Ursus stood at the doorway with the silver haired man hanging their coats. The young man blinked a few times to return his eyes to the natural red he was used to. "Yes, mother?"
She hid her disappointment behind her smile hugging her son. "I'm glade your home. How was your day?"
He shrugged pointing at his grandfather. "I've been learning his technique on embalming. Still can't get it just right."
"It takes practice," said the elder hanging his hat. "It took me a couple of decades to perfect it with the technology given."
Ursus kissed her head moving away from her. "I'm gonna go study on some books in my room. Can you call me down for dinner?"
"Of course."
She waited for him to be in his room before letting out a disappointed sigh. "I was sure it was Sebastian at the door."
Undertaker held her waist kissing her brow. "I do believe I saw a certain demon at the florist before we got home..."
"Now I know you're just teasing."
"Perhaps he isn't."
She turned her head towards the disembodied voice coming from the living room. She hurried to it see her mate standing in there with a small bouquet of roses.
She cooed taking the bundle from his arms. "You really are a charmer. My darling Bassy~"
He pecked her lips with the tips of his fangs peeking under his lips. "It's been a while."
"Too long, my love."
"Have you missed me?"
She ran her hands along his chest, stopping right at his belt. "Every single moment."
"Now, now my pet. There's plenty of time for that while I'm here." He kissed her lips taking her into the dining room. The table was already loaded with foods and wine.
"You charmer, you."
Undertaker let them be, going up to fetch their son. A portal opened up in the living as Ronald took the lead to enter the space first.
"Hello? Anyone home?"
Grell came out running seeing her girls follow behind their uncle. "My babies!" She hugged them tightly. "My sweet girls!"
Sebastian followed the noise of his wife seeing his daughters. "Hello girls. Or should I say, young ladies?"
"Daddy!"
Adorlee ran to her father with a hard hug. He pet her head opening his arm for his other daughter. Venita moved slowly giving him a hug.
"It's been too long. I hope you two are having a decent time in the reaper world?"
"Kind of." replied Venita. "I've been keeping my score with a perfect score. Adorlee has been using others to keeping her grades."
The redhead glared at her older sister. How dare she make her look bad in front of her parents. "Really?!"
Sebastian patted her head giving her a simple smile. "I can see you've been getting more in touch with your demon side."
Grell smacked his arm getting upset. "Don't encourage that kind of behavior! Even I, in my days of youth, spent them studying and having to do my best."
Ronald rolled his eyes taking a seat at the table. "I'm gonna start eating if you all have to spend the time catching up."
Ursus moved down the stairs at full speed. He ran out hugging onto his sisters. "You're back !"
Venita smiled combing his hair. "Hey there, handsome. Glad to see we were missed." Adorlee squeezed him tightly.
They seemed so happy to have their little family back together. They joined each other getting a seat at the table to have a long needed meal in their company.
