35: Scorpio Chrysias

"Where is my child?"

Scorpio Chrysias of the seven, the 1st born of the Demon King, mischievously asked when he arrived at Midnight Zagreus's thresholds. The dark-haired demon with a neatly slicked back hairstyle eyed Midnight who is currently fixing himself after he barged himself into something intimate.

Midnight lazily drawls himself up, gesturing for the succubus to go. Walang pakialam si Scorch kung nadatnan man niya ang kapatid na may ginagawang hindi kanais nais sa kasamang babae. Nakapamulsa lamang ito at matuwid na nakatayo sa paanan ng kama. The succubus bows once to him, and to Midnight before disappearing in an instant. Saktong naka suot na ng matinong damit si Midnight. Black pants and black silky robe. Midnight didn't even bother tying it. It's his way to say that he did not like what his older brother did.

Midnight was almost there when Scorch appeared. And it took him enough of his strength to stop himself from gashing Scorch's throat.

"Your timing is unsuitable, brother" walang bahid nitong emosyon na tugon. Tinungkod lamang ni Midnight ang dalawang kamay sa kama. Leaning back to meet his brother's sharpened red eyes. "Hindi kaba makahintay sa baba? I'm sure Vlad is more willing to attend you in every possible way"

Scorch, not intentioned, scoffed at the words Midnight used against him. "Sex is no longer exciting for you, my little brother. I doubt I made you that frustrated from holding back"

Midnight's eyes stayed dead. "A release is still a release. Anyone will be frustrated if someone suddenly barged in the middle of the climax"

"Unfortunate" Scorch dismisses the topic with one word, "Marami ka pang oras para ipagpatuloy ang ginagawa. Sa ngayon, hinahanap ko ang bata ko"

"Anong pangalan?" Bored na bored na tanong ni Midnight.

He knew this day would eventually come. Scorch is someone who cannot be underestimated under any circumstances. He is the 1st born. The eldest. If Erebus, the second of the seven, is known to be the frisky deceiver among the brothers— Scorch is someone who becomes lethally dangerous if serious. A possessive demon who will do anything to keep his own possessions to himself. He's the greedy type. Midnight smirked inside his head at the thought. It would be great for his eldest brother to have the sin of greed. Perfect for his tainted soul.

But this time, Midnight will not tolerate it.

Magkasalubong na ang mga kilay ni Scorch ng tignan si Midnight.

"Don't play with me. Alam kong narito siya sa pamamahay mo. I can feel him here"

Midnight nods, uninterested. "See? You don't even know his name. Hindi ko ibibigay sayo ang bata"

Underneath Scorch's champagne royal clothes, his muscles clench as he feels himself growing impatient.

"He is mine. Ibigay mo siya saakin ngayon kung ayaw mong gibain ko 'tong manor mo"

Midnight is not impressed. "Tumakas sayo ang bata at napunta rito. I asked him kung gusto niya bang bumalik sayo, he eventually rejected the offer. He likes it here" he shrugs, "Akin na siya ngayon"

"As the firstborn of the seven—"

"Oh, don't use that against me. You know it won't work"

Scorch's jaw clenches, his teeth already gritting against each other. Naiinis na siya sa batang kapatid. "I hope you'll be fine sleeping with no roof for tonight"

"I hope you'll be fine sleeping inside a coffin for the rest of your life"

The eldest, and the youngest. The 1st born, and the 7th. The fire is igniting between them as they bore their fiery red eyes to one another. Hindi magdadalawang isip na patayin ni Scorch ang batang kapatid, ngunit alam niya 'rin kung ano ang kakayahan ng isang Midnight Zagreus. Their father didn't teach them to be ignorant of each other's strengths anyway, they were taught firsthand. Learned things in the most gruesome way no cowards could ever.
