Love Thy King

How did Godzilla, the King of Monsters, end up becoming a dad? Well, to elaborate more clearly, he wasn't exactly a dad.

He was a caregiver.

Most titans have already been coexisting with the nucleic lizard for millions of years. New varieties of kaijus born after this time were considered adolescents, having been abandoned by their predecessors before and during Godzilla's time. Thus, any monster that was younger than he could be killed or adopted by his own accord.

So, as a way to establish peace and raise awareness to these new kaijus, Godzilla chose to go with the former.

But boy, he sure didn't know what the hell he was thinking either.

Instead of resting for another hundred years, or embarking on a personal swim, Godzilla was now living inside a cave...

On a desolate island...

Ready to leave...

Right...now.

His two adopted hatchlings - a black dragon named Revon and a plesiosaur called Echo - had been fighting throughout the night, disrupting and keeping their alpha awake as a result. If Godzilla were human, there would undoubtedly be deep rags under his eyes, especially since he had no choice but to stay up and make sure the titans didn't slaughter each other. Mothra would never forgive him if they ended up getting each other killed.

All this wrestling, roaring, and lack of sleep was really starting to peeve Godzilla. If these two didn't stop and obey his orders, he was about to call them a midnight snack. He hadn't eaten a hatchling of another titan in two-hundred years, but it didn't hurt in reminiscing the fresh taste of young blood that was enough to savor over.

As Revon and Echo continued to roughhouse and nip hard at each other's skin, Godzilla huffed irritably, and that was enough to startle the boys to stop and look at him. As young and naive as kids were, they didn't understand and continued back to wrestling on the dirt. Revon slammed Echo to the ground, enough to get the plesiosaur to yelp upon the harsh impact. Trying the best he could to bite his younger brother, Echo revealed his teeth and finally got revenge by latching onto the dragon's flesh.

Needless to say, blood was normal as long as it didn't get all over. And for two male hatchlings, this was somewhat 'healthy' for their relationship.

Godzilla continued to watch, trying his best to stay awake, and was preventing himself from snapping at the hatchlings. Taking another deep breath, the king exhaled vigorously, and couldn't help but submit to the essence of sleep for several seconds. The boys stopped again and turned to notice that their king had fallen asleep, hearing him lightly beginning to snore under his breath.

Eh, who cares? More playtime for them!

Echo lunged at Revon and pinned him against the cave wall with his fins before slamming him to the ground, beginning to lay atop of the dragon as a means to suffocate him.

Godzilla woke immediately after the harsh impact and exhaled wearily.

This was going to be a long night...

Godzilla scowled as he continued to keep his eyes locked straight ahead, desperately wishing to return to his lair and enjoy the peace of it.

He hadn't been able to return in over a hundred years...

And it was all because of these two.

Revon and Echo finally fell asleep and were bundled close on both sides of the king's snout, snoring and twitching as they dreamed of eagles and sharks. They didn't seem to care that they'd kept Godzilla awake almost the entire night either. The hatchlings even decided to finally succumb to slumber as soon as dawn arrived, which was usually the time the king had to go out and find them some food.
