Dualscar looked down at kankri before walking inside the house. Kankri couldn't believe how big it was. Dualscar sat the bag on the counter and sat kankri on the floor. "Ok, ya can run around a little, ya know explore and all." Dualscar said before walking into the kitchen.
Kankri didn't know where to start. Everything was knew to him. So, he decided to start with the living room. In there, was a large tv (compared to kankri, it was more like a movie screen) , a black leather couch and chair to match, a fire place, and a few pictures on the wall.
He surprisingly felt at home here, but soon went upstairs. The stairs themselves where inpressive. White with a black railing. Once kankri made it to the top of the stairs, he saw there was a long hallway with three doors on each side. Lucky for him each door was open.
The first, he recognized as a bedroom. It must have been dualscar's, the beding was black with a violet symble. It looked like two zig-zags. The head board was also black, there was two nightstands on each side, both of them having a lamp.
He soon got board of this room, and decided to move on. The next room was another bedroom? There was a bed, that looked just like dualscar's but a little smaller. On the headboard, written in white letters was the name Cronus.
Angel had never mentioned anyone by the name cronus. Who was cronus? Why dud his room look so much like dualscar's?
He had been so deep in thought that he hadnt noticed the heavy footsteps behind him. Suddenly, he was lifted into the air by two large hands. He was turned so that he was facing dualscar. "I see ya found cronus's room." He said looking down at the bed. "Who's cronus?" Kankri said in a curious voice.
"Well... cronus is my son" dualscar said with a hint of... anger? Why would he be angry? "Where is he?" Kankri asked lookinf around the room more. "Well..." Dualscar said looking at kankri. "I don't really know. He usually come home till late at night." Kankri made a 'oh' face.
Soon after, kankri got tired of exploring. So, instead he went into the kitchen, where dualscar was. He gently tugged on his pant leg. "What do ya want?" Dualscar asked. Kankri just raised his arms in the air, showing he wanted to be picked up.
Dualscar obliged and picked him up. Once kankri was in his arms, he snuggled down and put his face into the crook of dualscars neck. Dualscar placed one large hand on his back, and the other under him. He hadn't held anyone like this for a while, it was nice.
Suddenly, memories came flooding back to dualscar. Memories of cronus when he was kankri's age. He remembered holding cronus like this when he cried. He would rock him in his arms, and rub his back. Sometimes, he would even sing a lullaby or two. Dualscar gripped kankri to him. Not wanting to let go.
Kankri had eventually fallen asleep. And just as he did for cronus, dualscar rocked him gently. When kankri would ster or fuss, dualscar would rub his back. "Sshh...." he whispered into kankri's hair.
Unfortunately for dualscar, kankri woke up. He rubbed his eyes then looked around. Dualscar looked at kankri. "How about a bath?" Kankri just nodded. Dualscar grabed the bag angel left and headed for the bathroom.
Once there, he closed the door and sat the bag and kankri down. Soon, kankri was undressed and in the warm water. He spashed around for a little bit, before being picked up and wrapped in a fluffy towl. Dualscar dryed him off gently, ovoiding his horns.
Once kankri was dressed in a sleep shirt,( it was just a white shirt with small crab.) Kankri was ready to sleep. He rubbed his little eyes, and yawnsed. Dualscar two had changed into pajamas. A black shirt with violet plad pants. Kankri looked up at dualscar with tired eyes. "Can I sleep in your room?" He asked. Dualscar looked at him for a moment but nodded.
Kankri grabbed a plush toy crab from the bag and curled up with it. Holding it to his tiny chest. Dualscar got in bed, and kankri followed.
*kankri's dream*
He saw angel. She was standing infront of him. "Kankri, honey, I have something important to tell you." She said in her motherly voice. "Kankri going away again, but this time I'm not comeing back." At that kankri's heart droped.
Why wasn't she coming back!! "Kankri, your going to stay with dualscar from now on, ok?" Kankri had tears running down his face, bug he couldn't say anything. He wanted to tell her that he didn't want her to go! "Goodbye kankri, I love you." And with that she vanished.
Kankri was finally able to talk. He started screaming. "Mama!! Mommy come back!! Mommy!!" He began sobbing.
*End of dream*
"Mommy!!" Kankri screamed on the top of his lungs. At hereing kankri's scream, dualscar bolted up. He looked around to find kankri wailing on the top of his lungs. He scooped up the tiny form and pressed him to his chest. "Mommy!! I want mommy!" Kankri wailed.
Dualscar let the boy cling to him for dear life. Dualscar rubbed his back, but the poor thing just continued to wail. "Mommy!!" He cried. This was all to familiar for dualscar. Sometimes, cronus would cry for his mother.
"I want my mommy!!" Kankri wailed and began to thrash. "Kankri.... I'm sorry, but she will be back in a few days...." dualscar said trying to calm the child down. Suddenly, there was the sound of someone opening and closing the back door down stairs.
Then footsteps. Cronus. Great, just what dualscar needed. Kankri wailed again and the footsteps stopped infront of the door. "Umm... pops, what was that?" A voice asked. "Cronus... come in." Dualscar said as the door slowly opened. Dualscar got up and practically shoved kankri into cronus' s arms. "He had a nightmare. ... I tried to calm him down, your turn." He said before heading down stairs.
By this point, kankri was a wailing and sobning mess. Cronus, haveing no idea what to do, went into his own bedroom and sat kankri on the bed. Kankri just wailed even louder, if it was possible. Cronus panicking, picked him up and craddled him.
Cronus sat down at thd end of the bed and just rocked kankri. "Sshh... its ok..." he said trying to sound comforting. Soon the wails tyened into sniffles and whimpers. Cronus got up and tucked kanki into his own bed. He headed into the bathroom and changed.
All he wore to bed was a pair of black pajamas bottoms. He got in bed a relaxed. Kankri must have woken up, because he got up and crawled onto of cronus' s cest. There he burried his face into the crook of cronus' s neck, and settled back down.
