Spirit Animal Ficlets

Bedtime stories and playful fights

Conor knew reading Fairytales to Chester was a good idea. Chester really enjoyed the ones about prince's being freed of cursed because the little boy said that Daddy had a curse which allowed Conor free access to random kisses to Shane.

Like currently now, Shane sat on the bed holding Chester "And so the beast became a beautiful prince and they lived happily ever after," he finished closing the book.

Chester rubbed his eyes "More?" he asked.

Conor picked up Chester as Shane placed the book on the shelf "Maybe tomorrow Chestnut, you must be sleepy," he said.

Chester yawned as Conor tucked in the blanket "Papa need to break Daddy's curse," he mumbled.

Shane chuckled as he nuzzled into Conor's neck "Ready for bed?" he asked.

Conor looked at Chester "Yeah lets go, he's out like a light," he replied.

The next morning, Conor worked on sorting greencloak to missions. When the door burst open, he looked up to see Shane in his crocodile form "Where's the prince? I have come to steal him!" he said jokingly. Shane's golden gaze landed on Conor "Behold I have found him!" he hoisted him up in his arms.

Conor started laughing and Shane nipped as his neck "Oh no whoever shall save me from this terrible monster?" he gasped.

Chester came running into the room in a oversized redcloak and crooked whiter mask "No let him go! He's my prince!" he said.

Shane growled at Chester "A tiny opponent? I shall crush you!" he said and placed Conor on the bed. Shane growled and plopped on all fours.

The little boy had a fake sword and playfully poked Shane's nose. Shane hissed and rolled onto his back "Agghh! I've been slain!" he grumbled.

Conor got off the bed and touched Shane's chest "No, I have fallen for this creature! My love has been taken from me!" he said.

Chester giggled as Conor kissed Shane's nose and his dad sat up in his human form "you have freed me of my curse! Thank you my lovely prince!" he replied.

The two kissed again. It felt great like a sudden explosion of energy shared between them. Chester squeezed between them when they parted "I want kiss too!" he squeaked.

Conor laughed "Oh yes and one for my wonderful little knight," he said and kissed his son.

Chester giggled as he kissed his pa back. Shane leaned down to his son "Can't I get a kiss too?" he asked. Chester pressed a kiss to his dad's cheek. Conor smiled at Shane and Chester. This was his family and he was glad to have it.
