Hybrids (STOLITZ)

3 - Change Isn't Fun

Stolas's eyes were glued to the egg, not ever turning away from it. It'd been about 2 days since they'd figured out it was fertile, and Stolas hasn't slept or eaten much. "Stol.. it's gonna be okay." Stolas looked up at his husband. "I know! I just don't want there to be any chances, darling."

Blitz kissed Stolas on the head. "You're the one who has a bigger chance of dying here, Stolas. You haven't slept or eaten anything. Go lay down, I can watch." Blitz sat down in the chair next to him and put a hand on Stolas's. "I'm fine, dear."

"Stolas." Stolas looked at the egg and back at Blitz. "You promise to tell me if anything happens." Blitz nodded. "Of course." Stolas yawned and kissed Blitz on the cheek. "Thank you darling." He walked off to his room, leaving Blitz and the egg alone.

When Blitz and Stolas gathered everyone to tell them the news, it was wonderful to hear.. for almost everyone. When Octavia heard about Stolas and Blitz getting married, she was happy... with some concerns.

These big things were being thrown at her way too fast. She didn't trust Blitz. She didn't trust him to not assume he would swoop her father up and take him away. Now a brand new baby?

"Loona?" Octavia opened her door, getting hit with a huge smell of cigarettes and a strong smell of perfume. "Yea?" She was laid in her bed with her phone.

"Do you uh.. wanna sneak out?" Loona sat up. "Is that even a question? Wait.. you're asking if I want to sneak out. You never ask that. What's wrong?" Octavia looked at the ground. "Look, I just wanna go chill. But.. we need the grimoire. I was thinking.. since Dad is sleeping in there maybe you could sneak in and steal it?"

"Is he that much of a light sleeper?" Loona seemed skeptical. "Yes! He raised me alone his whole life, if a pin were to drop he'd hear it." Loona thought for a moment. "Or.. we could ask Blitz. He's stolen the book before." Octavia tilted her head. "Wouldn't that not be sneaking out?"

"Blitz doesn't care like Stolas does when it comes to us going somewhere. But since we need to grimoire, Blitz probably knows how to move around while Stolas is asleep. He does it a lot." Octavia sighed. "Fine."

Loona knocked on the door and walked in with Octavia to see Blitz next to the egg and making horse doodles. They were all small designs of a mix between Stolas and Blitz. Loona assumed it was what he imagined the baby to look like.

"Hey." Loona chuckled. "Hey girls. What's wrong?" Blitz looked up briefly. "Can we go somewhere?" Blitz smiled and shrugged. "Of course! Just stay close to Octavia, don't drink and drive and use condoms." Octavia shook her head. "No, we mean to the human world."

"How do you plan on getting there?" Octavia looked dumbfounded. "Uh.. with the book?" Loona said with a dramatic tone. "Hell no. I'd tell you to ask Stolas, but he'd tell you no and he's asleep right now." Loona sighed. "Come on! You've snuck in there and stolen the book before."

"Loona, do you think I succeeded?" Blitz pointed to the egg and then to his wedding ring. Touché.

"Come on! You're an assassin, you're naturally light on your feet." Blitz sighed and got up. "Loona, watch the egg. I'll go get the book."

A couple of minutes later, he handed the book to Octavia. "Where's my pay?" Blitz tilted his head. Loona growled and hugged Blitz. "Thank you." Loona snarled.

"You're welcome Loony! Have fun, and don't die. Call me if shit hits the fan." Loona nodded and walked out with Octavia. "I can't believe that actually worked." Octavia whispered. "Blitz is super chill. He's a good dad." Octavia bit back her words and looked away. "So.. where do you wanna go?" Octavia grabbed the book and looked in it. "Tch.. Uhh.." She made a circle with her hand and a portal opened. "Oo, it worked."

Loona stepped through and immediately held her nose. "Yuck.. is this L.A?" Octavia nodded with a smile. "Why are we back in this ugly ass place?" Loona gagged. "Feeling sentimental I suppose." She shrugged. Right in front of her was the staircase up into the balcony her and Loona sat at when she had run away here, now several years ago.

"Ah. I remember this place." It was a hazy night, somewhat similar to the one they had sat in front of years ago. They both sat down on the rails. "Do you remember when you kicked your dad in the balls?" Octavia chuckled. "Hey, he deserved that shit. He told me he would replace me." Octavia looked at Loona.

"Really?" Loona nodded and shrugged. "I don't think he would've actually. He has fears of that type of shit. He wouldn't do that to me, he just said it to scare me." Octavia watched Loona light a cigarette. She put a hand out, asking her silently to let her smoke. "Won't your dad be pissed?"

"He smokes too, and plus he's not here. And finally, fuck him." Loona whistled and gave her the cigarette. "Clearly you need that, because I thought I'd see a pig fly before I heard you ever say that." Loona teased. "I'm just mad."

"Why is that, V?" Octavia sighed. "It's a lot. It's also kinda petty." Loona perked her ears up and took the cigarette back. "I have ears." Octavia smiled and patted Loona's shoulder lightly. "Thanks." She looked down below her, hanging her head a little.

"It started when Blitz landed on my moms tea party or whatever the fuck and ran away with the book. It got bad. Then, I realized they kept doing it. Then the whole Loo Loo Land crisis happened. There was times my dad was so.. clingy and hung up on someone who at the time didn't even seem to love him. I didn't even recognize my dad." Loona frowned as her sister rambled.

"Then he comes home one night just.. depressed. He got drunk and the next thing I know my parents are filing for a divorce. Apparently he lied to me my whole life and "protected" me by not telling me the abuse my mother put him through." Tears started
to fall down her cheeks. "I- I understand but maybe I would've been more reasonable if he told me what he was going through. He was a closeted gay man in a straight, abusive, forced marriage! That's fucking disgusting. He's good, he doesn't deserve that."

Octavia wiped the tears off her face and stood there in silence for a moment. "Then he comes home and tells me he's in a relationship with Blitz. They went to fucking, to arguing, to dating. It doesn't make any fucking sense! Then they get married.. and now there's another baby?"

The next words she spoke hit Loona like sharp shards of glass.

"He promised he wouldn't replace me. I don't know why I keep thinking he will the second he has something better." Loona looked at Octavia as silence washed over the two. "Look.. I'm not the best at advice. Blitz fucked up a lot with Stolas. He left him in the fucking dust. In typical old Blitz fashion.. he ran." Loona stumbled with her words as Octavia looked over at her.

"Yet, some fucking way.. Stolas still loved him just as much. So if you think Stolas is going to replace you after loving a bitchy, mean, selfish imp then you must be pretty fucking stupid. No offense." Octavia smiled. "It's Stolas. The fucker talks to plants, for Satans sake. If he could fix Blitz, I highly doubt he'd ever dream of replacing you."

"Thank you Loona." Octavia leaned against her shoulder and sighed. "I do like Blitz.. I just don't like change." Loona smiled and rested her head onto Octavia's. "I don't think anyone does."

Once the girls got back, Blitz safely secured the book and sat back down next to the egg. "Hey, Blitz?" Octavia knocked on the door. "Yea?" Octavia sat down next to him and sighed. "Thank you."

"For the book? It's no problem. I get it." Blitz smiled. "No. Thank you for taking care of my dad." Blitz looked at her. "He needs you." Blitz sighed and smiled sheepishly. "I need him too. You're a good kid, Octavia. Stolas really loves you." Blitz playfully tapped her arm. "I think you're pretty cool too."

Octavia smiled back. "You're not so bad yourself."

note: this was mainly based on octavia and loona, and we r just chilling until the egg hatches (hint. hint.) hope y'all enjoyed! sorry it was a bit rushed.
