A single father and the turbulent sea

A single whimper from the 6-month-old in the blanket diverted Krystallos' attention from Starseidon. "Hungry, my snow angel?" The titan asked softly to the baby in his arms, Frostine...A hybrid between a human and a titan, who is nibbling on one of his fingernails.

"Star, could you be a dear and watch her until I get back?" The Ice King spoke his question to Starseidon...Breaking the Sea God of his doki doki-like state.

"Wait, where are you going, Hon?" The confusion on Starsiedon's face was unmistakable...The last part caused both men to look at each other, freezing in place and blush...But the unintended pouting Starseidon was doing was very cute in the eyes of the titan before the Sea God.

"Just getting food for this little one," Krystallos answered with a gentleness akin to the first snowfall, getting up from the floor and silently walking towards the door, holding the 6-month-old infant who was still nibbling the claw-like nail of her papa. This gave Starseidon a good look at the child in the arms of the titan. "She's tinier than I expected." Starseidon pointed out as Krystallos joined him in the hallway.

"Well, she is a hybrid and only 6 months old," Krystallos answered with a chuckling smile as the tsundere Sea God rolled his eyes, as a way of saying that he already knew that.

The baby, on the other hand, looked at Starseidon and just stared into his eyes...Causing him to stare back in confusion. Krystallos couldn't help but bust out laughing softly at what was happening.

"She's trying to intimidate you, Star." The titan chuckled with amusement before gently kissing the infant on the top of her head.

"She looks too cute to intimidate...Like Luna." The Sea God snorted softly before gazing at the infant. "Though...She kind of looks like Koios...Her eyes, I mean."

"True...But what does it matter? He'll never meet his granddaughter anyway." Krystallos sighed before silence stretched out between the two immortals. In an attempt to break the awkwardness the silence has brought, Starseidon asks a question, one that he didn't know would be a sensitive topic for the Ice King.

"Where's her mother?" The Sea God asked gently.

Hearing this, Krystallos's eyes moisten, recalling the memories welling up inside his heart. And yet, he gave the answer that still haunts the titan till this day. "Her mother..." He paused as he looked down at the infant he shakily exhaled. Trying to hide his deep sorrow. "She passed away...After Frostine was created through a ritual that required the blood of both partakers." The titan then looked at his forearm, pulling up robe robe-like sleeve on his toga that he is currently wearing to reveal a slight horizontal knife scar that reached from his wrist to the edge of his forearm (He is very modest for a titan..Don't judge him >:^.).

"The worst part was that I loved her too late." The Ice King's voice began to crack as tears began to fall from his glacial eyes. Signifying how much that mortal woman meant something to the titan in front of Starseidon.

"So you're a..." Starseidon asked before stopping...He looked at Krystallos closely and then at the infant in the titan's arms. "Single Father." Krystallos nodded when the Sea God finished his sentence.

"And when you are a single father, your needs mean nothing. As your child comes first." The Titan sighed, drying the corner of his eyes with his left hand while holding his daughter with his right arm. "I gave up on dating compleatly. Frostine needs me more then a lack of love life."

Starseidon, being a god who had many flings with mortals, couldn't comprehend the fact that Krystallos. A titan of Frost who is currently going through the worst heats would rather care for his daughter made out of a blood ritual than have his needs met. It baffled the Sea God, but also gave him a sense of what Krystallos' true personality was. "Sacrificing your needs for your daughter," Starseidon said, looking at the infant who began to squirm in her father's arm...Already getting fussy from the lack of food. "You must be stupid or have the biggest willpower in the world to do that...I'll say both," Starseidon said bluntly, but it held hidden affection within the tone, and he wiped away the tears of the Ice King with his hands.

Not wasting time, Starseidon called for a servant of the palace to quickly get something for Krystallos's infant, Frostine, to eat (Being an experienced father helps in times like this), as Krystallos instantly took off his toga, leaving the loincloth on, and placed her near his chest to calm her down.

"Thank you for the help, Star, but I can handle..." Krystallos was cut off with a quick peck on the lips from the Sea God...Blinking with blush forming before he could finish his sentence. "Ummm? Is that you saying that you want to help me raise Frostine or take care of us?" As the servant came back with food for a 6-month-old infant, Krystallos heard the words that made him blush like a madman. "After you're done taking care of your daughter..." The Sea God whispered into the ear of the titan, before pausing. "I'm taking care of you."

To be continued~

The truth about the infant's origins has come to light, a painful truth, but also one that holds hope (even though Krystallos can be too self-sacrificing and more focused on caring for his daughter at times). What could Starseidon be planning? And how long does it take him to get impatient, O.O?

A Fishy Distraction and A Forgotten Cycle

TW: Swearing and implied suggestiveness

(In Atlantis)

Being taken to the sunken kingdom of Atlantis was like a dream come true for Krystallos...Especially when a certain titan loves the sea more than the land itself (Guess how many times Krystallos goes diving and goes to the beach...I don't blame him though :3). Seeing the many vibrant colors of coral, fish, and just the beauty of the underwater world, the ice king was in paradise. Even though he is about to get his heat taken care of...Or will he? "He's taking me to the bedroom." The Ice King began to turn an even brighter shade of blue as Starseidon's steps were driven with purpose. Maybe even began to internally panic as his thoughts began running incredibly fast, and his palms began to sweat, signalling how nervous the titan was about all this. Being taken care of and helped through his heat cycle is something that had never once happened in the eons that Krystallos lived with that curse of a cycle. "This is it." Or that is what he thought when the door opened and a voice came out...Anticipation and panic were gone, replaced by a confused eyebrow raise. "You left me alone, Star...I thought you forgot about me~" The voice purred out of the bedroom with a velvety tone that hid an underlying pout. "Seems like you brought someone with you."

"Fishy?" Starseidon asked, confusion etched across his face, seeing one of his other lovers in the bedroom. The confusion turned into a deeper shade of red, which Krystallos couldn't see from being carried like a sack of potatoes by Starseidon and heard the movement from the bed.

"Do they know I can hear what they are saying?" Muttered the thoughts of the titan in Starseidon's arms, silently cursing his exceptional hearing, even though Starseidon and Fishyseidon are trying to be as discreet as possible. "Another thing to tell Starseidon about..My list keeps growing and growing - Hey!" All thoughts were shattered the moment he felt his body going down, but thanks to the amount of training (and trauma) under his adopted father's guidance, the ice king used his hands to catch himself and then do a front handspring, landing on his feet and standing upright with such grace and fluidity of a predatory cat, along with no sound. "So they are making out in front of me...Love birds." Krystallos commented inwardly, seeing the spectacle before him. His ears then twitched when hearing a certain infantile whimper, Krystallos lost all interest in what was happening behind in and silently walked out the door with careful foot steps. Following the sound of a familiar baby's cry.

(Three Sea bunnies later)

"New baby sister?"

"Evren, shut that baby up before I throw it out to sea!!"

"Maybe she's hungry, Luna." "Whose side are you on, Eldoris?"

"Good point, little bro....Maybe she is also missing her mommy?"

"I'm outta here."

Hearing voices along with the wails of the infant, the titan moved silently through the hallways of the underwater palace...Taking in the sights of the beauty and magnificence of the palace. When he reached the door at the end of a simple yet elegant hallway covered in peals and sea shells, a loud voice rang out, "KRYASTALLOS!!!!!!"

"Starseidon's pissed," Krystallos sighed, rubbing his temples. "Don't get mad at me when you were distracted kissing Fisyseidon. Allowing me the chance to escape in the first place was your doing," The thoughts spoke inside the mind while the ice king chuckled softly, not with malice or jealousy within...Just pure amusement.

"Was that Dad...And whose Krystallos?"

"Seems so...Wait..Krystallos is here?!"

The Ice King chuckled softly when the door opened and revealed a familiar young sea god. "It's been a while..Hello Erven," the titan said, giving the Sea Child a gentle and warm smile that reached his ears.

"Krystallos!!" Evren said, hugging the titan's leg. Earning gentle head pats from the titan babysitter. "Why is Dad mad at you?" The young sea god asked with a curious glint in his eyes.

A nervous chuckle escaped the Ice King's lips when asked the question. "How about we talk inside the room, alright, Evren?" The suggestion did hold true, but the eyebrow twitch, on the other hand, signified another emotion within Krystallos. "Like hell I'm explaining why you are pissed at me to your children, Star...You're on thin ice for that one." Thoughts sharpened like a blade within the mind of the titan, but for now, the duo headed inside the room to have a conversation.

(Four Sea Bunnies Later.)

"Where the f*ck did that titan in heat go?!" Starseidon hissed while walking with purpose. Seems that the Sea God was looking everywhere in Atlantis for the Ice King after finding out he escaped for the second time in a row (His fault for being distracted by a certain fish :3). "Gentle my ass...When I catch him, that titan will not be able to walk straight for- Why do I hear singing?" Confusion shot through the anger and annoyance that Starseidon was feeling when beautiful yet haunting vocals reached his ears. Following the vocals, he stopped by his children's room. With an eyebrow raised, Starseidon slowly opened the door. What he saw inside made his face flush a deeper red..."The singing was...Krystallos???? He's holding a baby in his arms like it's the most natural thing in the world. With my kids sleeping in their beds...Wait, a minute, is that his daughter?" The mind of the sea god was a gigantic mess of confusion and surprise, which then bloomed into warm affection and hidden lust (Curse the Ice King scent and his paternal affection towards his own child and Star's -_-).

When the Ice King finally turned his head to the sound of the door opening, a confused head tilt was the only thing that Krystallos gave after he may have accidentally given Starseidon the warmest smile. "Star, why are you redder than a beet root?" he asked in his soft voice to not wake up the children or his sleeping baby. "Are those hearts in your eyes?"

To be continued~

(Welp, all I have to say is...RIP Krystallos...I also thought of a new ship name for the duo after playing with a few names that I have been thinking about....Say hello to KrystalStar, hope you all like the ship name....And also Krystallos was actually singing a lullaby...More like the vocals of a lullaby to calm his crying daughter...Which may have sent also Starseidon's kids to sleep XD...Why do I edit when I already post something T^T)

After escaping Starseidon with the unintended help of Fishyseidon (More like Star being distracted with the kissy Fishy). The Ice King meets a familiar Sea Child and is reunited with his 6-month-old daughter, Frostine (More on her later.). However, looks like the said sea god has found the titan in his most paternal and loving self, singing vocals to a lullaby...Someone chose to be a Dad and forgot about his condition XD
