#kyrius

Kyle: Hey, Boss? Why exactly is grass green? I don't remember the biology lesson in which we discussed this. Probably wasn't there.

I have to re write this like  4 times...sorry

Her heart  beneath her chest beated faster as she ran. Her breathing became ragged with each step she took, and her palm sweated with the idea of him. The idea that she’ll finally get to see him, to ask him; Why? She finally reached the empty hall that led to the yard, the place where they were standing, where he was standing. Her heels clacked through the castle halls as she got closer, his ear perked up as the sound became louder. His eyes, those glittering silver eyes raised up from where they were, almost as if they knew, and just like that, they met those of honey. Kyrius halted as she met his gaze. Her steps stopped and she just stared. Was he really this close? Her chest raised up and down as she tried to catch her breath. Her lips parted to say his name, those pale rose colored lips. 

“Killian?” 

Allen, called out his pupil to get his attention, Killian had suddenly gone quiet, the man was normally one of few words but this was different. His silver eyes were fixated across the yard and passed his teacher and his wife. That spot right behind them, the hall to the castle. Killian almost felt as though he was being pulled, his body didn’t move, despite the urge to leave them there and walk passed, to run right to where she was.

“Dear?” Lily called, as she patted her husband’s shoulder and brought his attention to the spot those silver eyes never moved from, and  there,  she found the figure of her daughter standing by the hall.  Allen might not have noticed, but Lily's crimson eyes shimmered with mischief and a smirk tugged on the side of her lips. Her gaze moving between her daughter and the former mercenary,  the look of awe and longing on her husband’s pupil’s face was nothing short of intriguing.  She watched them, noticing as if they suddenly had gotten lost into each other’s stares.

“HONEY BEE!!” Allen all but screams his dearest daughter’s nickname  for all to hear and Lily all but chuckles as she sees her husband run over to where their daughter stands. With less than a couple strides, he reached the blond and held her hand on his own  “I’m so glad you’re here! Come with us is a great time to celebrate” he cheered and as he did, he walked back to where he had left his wife and his pupil. Kyrius couldn't even fight it, something didn’t allow her to. 

Just as fast as he reached her, he reached his pupil and his wife but this time accompanied by Kyrius, his daughter. 

“I know you expend most of your time in Geffen back then but allow me to introduce you dea –”

“ – Killian..” Kyrius's voice came out before that of her father’s and he only blinked before he looked at the dark haired man who stood there, with no words, eyes as blank as if his own soul had left his body.  He looked at his daughter confused, asking himself how she knew his pupil’s name. For all he knew, they never crossed paths “ – mercenary..” Kyrius continued and it was as if a light went off on Allen’s head.

“I almost forgot, you recently contracted a mercenary, did you not honey bee?” he chuckled. “ You must’ve seen him at the mercenary guild didn’t you? Perhaps even tried to hire him, haha knowing him he refused huh?” 

She looked at Killian almost searching, asking for a response but his eyes showed no emotion, no reaction at all. Please say something. Killian's throat bobbed when his name came out of her lips and Allen all but slapped his back to elicit a response “Did the cat get your tongue Wrightstone? Don’t tell me you really refused? ” Allen asked and Kyrius looked in the direction of her father “Wright.. WrightStone?” she looked back at Killian as she said his given name, and he only bit his bottom lip. 

“No I.. didn’t, I- I rather forget I was ever called a m- mercenary, leave that part of myself behind, and be better”

His words were cut off and his stuttered once again came back fuck.. He cursed himself mentally, how come the moment he saw her again his voice had such a hard time coming out. 

“So, she did Hired you?” Allen asked and Killian cheek’s tinted ever so slightly and his head Shook

“N..No  – ”

“Killian…?” her voice cut  though his thought, so soft so gentle, he met her gaze but the hurt in her eye was unbearable, the glimmer of watery tears forming on her honey colored eyes, was too much to bear, so he looked away. What Am I doing? not yet, not like this… I’m sorry, Please.  Killian brought his hand into a fist and Kyrius's heart skipped a bit as his gaze pulled away. 

“D- do you know who I am?” She asked with a smile, gently still, calm, Such lovely voice, such lovely tone.

“Yo- You’re... My teacher’s daughter” he replied but he fought himself not to say anything else,  it wasn’t the right time. What was he to say in front of his teacher? In front of her father. 

“Is that all?” Kyrius continues softly, her honey eyes trying to meet those of Killian's silver. He couldn't take it, he couldn't do it, what was she expecting him to say? What could he say? He wanted to kiss her, but why would he? His silver eyes tried to come up to meet hers but her rosy lips tempted him. His hand grabbed hold of his folds and he kept his gaze on the floor. 

“S-Shou.. Should I know anything else?” Kyrius bit her lips at the response, as her eyes darkened but the smile on her lips never faltered, “I see” she mumbled so softly no one but her could hear what she’d said. Does he not remember me?.

“Aww come on Kyrius, stop smiling at him like that!! He’s weak, he has a problem with women and you're making him uncomfortable, no one can resist that smile, sweet child!’ Allen teased looking at his daughter and what he thought was his embarrassed pupil. 

Kyrius giggles and they all look at her, the way she giggled, the way she brought a hand up to her face to hide her smile and the way she looked up at the tree of them. 

“Right, I – I’m sorry” she said and Killian's lips parted,  but they closed up again, what was he to say? her face showed nothing more than a smile, the brightest smile he’d ever seen, but for some reason, what she showed him, what he saw was pain. 

Kyrius held in a breath to steady herself , and then let it go “ It’s  nice to meet you..Killian Wrightstone” Her voice cracked and she had to turn around, to prevent them from seeing the single tear that ran down her cheek “ C.. congrats… I guess..”. Kyrius turned on her hills faster than they could even get another word in and ran.

Alternate Universe: The Baron and his Beast

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"I've been...hearing stuff lately."

The Baron stopped typing, brows furrowing at the sudden words spoken by the hybrid that had been sitting in the large wingback chair in front of his fireplace, face turned towards the flame. He was...taken aback by them, as Kyle had been unsarcastically silent ever since returning from his mission in the mountains in the late afternoon. Something he had chalked up to exhaustion until now, though it seems like he had not been correct.

"'Hearing stuff'?", he inquired in the hopes of gauging more information, turning his attention away from his laptop and towards the older brunette who curled up tighter underneath the blanket he had taken with him after settling into the comfortable seat, grabbing onto it so harshly his claws nearly cut through the fabric.

"Yeah...", he confirmed, sliding his lower lips in between his teeth to softly chew on it in thought. "At night. When I'm out on missions. Voices."

The blonde rose his eyebrows, the chair screeching as he shifted his entire body to properly look at his creation. What in the world...? "Voices?"

Crane only nodded in affirmative. He shifted again, one of his palms now resting on the soft armrest.

"Were they...intelligible?", the last Fischer asked, finally slipping from his own chair to rise, leather shoes clicking against the tiled floor as he, carefully, began to approach from behind, very aware of just how dangerous the human/volatile mix was when in such a...seemingly dazed state of mind. "If yes...what did they say?"

For several moments, Kyle refused to answer. He merely stared into the flickering element, devoid of all words. Only when the nobleman believed that it was wise to leave him be for now and to prod for more once his state of mind improved a bit did he release a sigh, turning his head just enough to glance over his shoulder and at him, his inhuman iris meeting the icy blue of his own.

"They...called out to me...", he began, voice hoarse. "Said that I should join them. They spoke...and I quote..."One of Us. You are One of Us...". I didn't know what they meant at first..."

He broke off, hands curling into a fist.

The Baron finally reached the piece of furniture, his spiderly hands sprawled onto the soft fabric as he leaned closer. "Until?"

"Until I looked outside.", the hybrid continued, glancing up, glassy eyes meeting his. "And then I saw them..."

"Who did you see, Kyle?" Thin fingers slid towards his own, carefully settling over his as some sort of twisted comfort. Comfort from a man who had turned him into a lab rat. Comfort from a person who had done unspeakable horrors to the innocent in the name of science. And yet...despite possessing this awareness....this knowledge about these horrible things...he still answered.

Though, what he said next even left the last Fischer entirely speechless, for not only was it absolutely absurd to think about...but also horrendously disturbing.

"Volatiles, Marius. I saw Volatiles.", he said. "And they were all looking directly at me. One of them...was even pointing. They wanted me to join in on their hunt."

Au Name: The Baron and his Beast / The Baron's Beast

Description: After several days of absence, Kyle Crane was finally able to return home to his master, Dr. Marius Fischer, also known as the Baron. Enthusiastic, he moved to take his master into his embrace...conveniently forgetting that he was soiled in the aftermath of roaming around in the sewers.

Note: Kyle...Kyle. I know you're happy to see the Baron again but please go wash yourself before you hug him. Not only for his sake but for all of our's?

I can just see Kyle in my Au worrying about his health. Especially if he gets sick or if his kgs fluctuate due to stress or other factors. Eating would definitely be a more regular discussion between these two.

Kyle: You know, you've been at this for hours. You sure you want nothing to eat?

Baron: I'm perfectly fine, Kyle.

Kyle: You sure, Boss? You haven't eaten since yesterday morning. That's 35 hours.

Baron: If I'd require nutrition I would have already gone and gotten it. The time span is irrelevant.

Kyle: Not even a snack? I mean, I could get you something. Kitchen's cooking dinner regardless, so it's really no is-

Baron: I SAID I AM FINE!

Kyle: ...
