The Haunted ships and one-shots!

Daniel (Grayson x Luke child story)

Daniel is adopted from Gamingerve31. There will be two parts, possibly three if you guys want that. I'll be working on the requests that I already have after this.

The family walked through the crowded streets of Emerald city, people chatting and merchants selling merchandise all around. The road to the central plaza was on the edge of chaotic from all of the higher ups and imperial guards that seemed to swarm the area, but if you were had been there for long, it was normal, although it took a bit to get used too. The slightly cool air filled with the aroma of freshly cooked bread from the bakery and tea from the cafe just around the corner. The merchants with their carts sold all sorts of items, ranging from food to rugs and books and all sorts of goods that were well worth a few sovereigns.
Even with the crowd, it was if the people were stepping aside to allow the family to pass. Rather is was because of their elite titles in the military or their status as a couple was a mystery that would not be determined. The two adults were well respected throughout the empire, but there was always destined to be those few who would disdain their love.
The parents were homosexual, taboo to some, accepted by others. That had a son with them, who was birthed from a surrogate mother.
The young boy walked beside his parents, his arms held out with one of his parents hands in each of his own. To his left was his father Grayson, a well renowned mercenary and the right hand man to the emperor. Not to mention the commander to his armies. They shared each other's blonde hair and Daniel bore an emerald eye like his within his right socket. His other eye was purple from his surrogate mother, which still managed to fit with his second father, more like a strict mother, Luke. Purple was his favorite color. He was the top assassin to Emperor Ferox Mortem, the most skilled with stealth and with the highest kill record far exceeding those ranked below him. His skill with a sword nearly matched that of his mate.
Daniel was young, only seven years old. He skipped happily between the two that he loved, only looking up when Grayson began to giggle.

  "Daddy, what?" Daniel asked innocently.

Grayson closed his lips until the giggles had died down. "Nothing, I just love you!"

Daniel burst into playful laughter as Grayson picked him up, holding him with an arm beneath his rear and the other around his waist to keep him in place against his chest. Luke laughed along with the two before his lips fell, a sudden downcast from his eyes displaying a distraught expression. Daniel and Grayson's laughs slowly died down, Grayson opening his eyes to look to his partner. His blonde eyebrows furrowed with concern.

  "Luke, are you alright?"

The lavender haired looked back up with a heavy sigh. "I have to take out the leader of a rebellion, and you know that those cases are always tricky. I don't want to leave tomorrow. I want to stay with you and Daniel, but...you know how the emperor is."

Grayson also let out a sigh. Luke had been assigned to a new mission out to the east that he would be sent out to take care of the next day. They all hated when he was away, and Luke and Daniel hated when Grayson was away as well. Grayson stepped closer to Luke, causing the assassin's lip to lift slightly.

"I know. It's going to be so cold out there!" Luke would have punched him if he were not holding their son. Instead he rolled his eyes.

Grayson set Daniel down, taking Luke's hand as he assured him that everything would be okay, that he would stay home to take care of Daniel and promising to keep him safe. They shared a quick kiss, not caring from the glaring eyes that briefly stared at their affection.
Daniel gazed up as they entered the guild plaza, different guilds circling with roads between each. The spy guild, craft guild, merchants guilds, and the magi guild, which Daniel did not know anything about.
