Can You Feel It?

Bonus #8

Apollo sat in his room with his head on his boyfriend's lap while they watched 'Now You See Me'.

"Have you heard from Jewel?" Apollo asked looking up at Charles or as he liked to call him Charlie.

"No, but I'm sure she'll come sooner rather than later." He said rubbing his fingers through Apollo's hair.

Charlie and Apollo had met two years prior and like Apollo Charlie's a vampire, unlike their other mate Jewel who just so happened to be human.

The three had been in a relationship for about two months and a week ago the couple finally told her about them being vampires and her being their mate.

She didn't break up with them but she did ask for a little bit of space which was understandable.

After two days Apollo began going through with drawls, to say the least. When he met Charlie Raeni all but demanded Charlie move in so they were always together.

When they met Jewel they always stayed together and they didn't go a day without talking.

For her to just pull away from them was like a slap to the face and a knife to the chest.

Charlie had been alone for 100 years so he wasn't as affected by Jewel's disappearance but he did miss her and he hated Apollo beating himself up and worrying himself to death.

"You know I love you right," Charlie asked before pausing the movie and lacing their fingers together.

"Of course."

"I just don't want you to think that I'll leave you to, none of us will," Charlie said with a small smile. "Jewel is human so she's just trying to accept that the supernatural is here but even if she's not here you still have me, your mom, your dad, Ayanna, and Malik. We all care about you."

"I know," Apollo said before pulling Charlie into a deep kiss.

He had gotten so caught up in the kiss he didn't even realize that all the plants in his room began rapidly growing until a plant pot broke causing the two to jump apart.

"We need to get a handle on that."

"I know."

Everyone had assumed that Apollo was a powerless vampire because his powers appeared later than Malik and Ayanna's.

But when they did finally appear the family quickly realized he could control nature and water like his mom.

He wasn't as powerful and he still couldn't fully control himself but he was getting there.

Slowly but surely.

Soon after Charlie resumed the movie Apollo was sleep gripping onto Charlie like he'd leave if he was given the opportunity, which was ridiculous because anyone who knew the two knew how much Charlie adored his boyfriend.

~~~One Hour Later~~~

Apollo could feel someone trying to shake him awake but he decided to ignore them, he hated when people disturbed his naps.

"Wake up Pollo." He heard Charlie say. "Jewels here, she's downstairs with your mom."

Apollo quickly stood up and dragged Charlie downstairs with him. They missed her, craved her presence.

"I'll leave you three alone," Raeni said when she saw her sons entering the kitchen. "I made cookies so help yourself."

"Thank you Miss Raeni."

"Thanks, mom." "Thanks, mom."

When Raeni left Charlie was quick to grab a cookie for him and Apollo and once the cookies were secure he pulled Apollo down onto his lap.

"What do you want?" He asked Jewel.

"Don't be like that!" Apollo said his eyes squinted.

Charlie ignored him leaving his bored eyes on Jewel, as much as he hated to admit it Jewel's leaving bothered him.

"I deserve that, when you texted to see if I was okay I ignored you guys, that's on me."

"That's oka-"

"No it isn't," Charlie said looking between his boyfriend ans girlfriend. "If your mad ignore me I don't care but Apollo was worried sick."

"I'm not a baby!" Apollo said squinting his eyes.

"No, you're nine."

"He's what?!"

"We didn't tell you... Um, I was born nine years ago."

"I thought vampires were born not bitten."

"That's usually the case but my mom's half vampire half human so she can still give birth and stuff," Apollo explained. "Vampire children grow faster than human children obviously."

"This this is a lot... I guess it'll take some time to get use to this but I'm okay with this."

"We'll be by your side don't worry, now come on so I can show you my powers."

"Your what?!"

Apollo
