The Tale of Orpheus

Thats Not Exactly A Bed Time Story

"Uh, yeah, come in."
Everything was awkward. Too awkward.
"So I just wanted to apologize about yesterday."
"No, I get it. You don't like me like that. i understand."
"No, not that. i mean why i said no. before i get into details, I have one question for you: did Zeus appear to you in a dream, what he called 'sleeping reality'?"
"How did you know?"
"Ok so, like, all of that is true. Zeus is real, so is reincarnation, and fate. I know you'll think i'm crazy but i'm telling the truth but i'm serious. So like every 100 years we have to be reincarnated into different bodies. Same soul, same us, different bodies."
"If you wanted to make an excuse, at least make it true."
"He's telling you the truth, you know."
"Why are you here again?"
"Look," Zeus walked up between Theo and Orpheus "I'm just going to say this once: figure this greek god shit out yourself. Theo, you are a reincarnation of Ma Boi Orpheus. It's how life goes. Just kiss already."
"ZEUS" Orpheus screamed while chasing Zeus out the door.
"You know i wouldn't hate that."
"Hate what?"
"You kissing me"
Orpheus leaned into Theo and could feel his breath on his mouth and they slowly-
"Ewwww that's so gross. I don't want to hear about Dad kissing Daddy! I just want a regular bedtime story for once!" Musaeus screamed into his pillow.
"You asked for it." Chenle laughed.
"Just leave. You disgust me."
"Mussie, what did i say about language."
"To only say disgusting when talking about broccoli. Yeah whatever. Just good night."
"Good night baby." Theo and Chenle walked into their room and got in bed.
"Do you think he believed it?" Chenle asked.
"Of course not. He's seven."
"Okay. Good night."
"Good night. Love you babe." Chenle kisses Theos nose before wrapping him up in his arms.
"I can't believe we have a kid."
"I know right. I smile about it whenever i think about it." Theo whispered into Chenles chest.
"I love you Eurydice. And i always will."
"I love you too Orpheus. More than i've ever lived anyone."
