First Demonic Dragon

Now that the absolute worst-case scenario had transpired, Izanami had crawled out into the open and waved at the girls shyly.

*Ahem* “H-Hello.”

Mira and Yemaya’s mouths slowly fell open as they turned to their father.

“…Slut dragon.”

“Manwhore.”

Abaddon’s jaw fell open.

“Girls, no need to pick on your father.”

Eris wrapped her arm around Izanami’s waist and pulled her in close.

“You know that he wouldn’t just do something that we didn’t all want… and besides, I think I might’ve wanted this even more than he did.”

Eris kissed Izanami softly underneath the surprised gazes of everyone in the room.

Mira and Yemaya’s eyes softened and they nodded to themselves thoughtfully.

“Oh… That’s okay then, Mom.”

“Yeah, as long as you’re happy.”

The disparity in treatment caused Abaddon to hurl his pillow at the heads of his two daughters hard enough to knock them out.

Mira’s reflexes were good enough for her to duck in time to avoid getting a tooth knocked out.

Yemaya, not so much.

Mira didn’t even bother to check on her sister as she groaned on the floor.

Instead, she smiled innocently as she leaned over with both elbows on the bed.

“So, can we sleep with you guys tonight??” She asked with extra big eyes.

“No-” Abaddon got punched six different times before he could even fully get the words out.

While he was doubled over reeling, Seras smiled at their daughter awkwardly. “I… well, we don’t really mind, pea. But tonight is just a little… w-we were just trying to take some time to get to know Izanami a little better, you know?”

Mira flopped facedown in the bed. “Ugh..! All of these couples in the house are driving me insaneee..! Why does nobody want to hang out with us? Are we that unlikeable!?”

“Well, right now you-” Abaddon got punched seven different times that time. Lisa decided it was worth it to make the trip.

“I’m sure there are some of your siblings who you could hang out and spend time with.” Audrina smiled sweetly.

“There isn’t!” Mira complained. “Nubby left because it’s her anniversary, Thea says she doesn’t feel like anything because she’s getting closer to her due date, Thrudd can’t see beyond the crack of Behemoth’s ass, and Yemaja went on her stupid date with Ziz!”

Abaddon had done a remarkable job distracting himself over the past few hours. Though it wasn’t really something he’d done on purpose.

With Valerie’s construction project getting underway and Izanami’s sudden request to spend the night with them, he just hadn’t really had the time or presence of mind to think about anything outside of that.

As such, when he heard for the first time that his daughter was on a date with one of the most unlikeable men he had ever met, he of course reacted appropriately.

“WHAT!?!”

His booming voice was so loud that it even awoke K’ael who was sleeping peacefully before then. But the child didn’t cry, more than anything he just seemed like a startled old man who had dozed off.

Abaddon began trying to get out of bed immediately.

It took the combined strength of everyone in bed to hold him down so that he couldn’t go anywhere.

With Yemaya finally getting up, she nudged her older sister in the ribs hard. “Nice going, genius… Now our sister is going to stop speaking to us because we got her date killed.”

Mira scratched the back of her head in shame. “O-Oh, he’s just in a bit of shock… He wouldn’t actually run off to murder Zizzy-bird…”

Abaddon duplicated himself so that he could have a body unencumbered by the rest of the girls.

He ran towards the door, but before he could reach the handle, Lisa, Bekka, and Seras all tackled him to the ground.

“Ah…” Mira lowered her head. “…Whoopsie.”

Yemaya just shook her head and said a silent prayer for her sister.

–

It took a whole twenty minutes to get Abaddon under control.

He made it out into the hallway twice, and both times Bekka and Seras had to use their strength to pull him back inside.

On one occasion, they even used their nighttime bondage rope to wrangle him like a newborn calf.

As of now he was back in bed. Wrapped in rope from his neck to his ankles like a mummy and wearing a blank, stern expression.

“Where did I go wrong…?” He muttered, brokenhearted.

“Did I not spend enough time with her..? Is this her way of lashing out at me because of that…? Have I been too-“

“Oh, stop.” Audrina finally covered their husband’s mouth. “Our daughter doesn’t hate you and she’s not trying to punish you. She’s just… being herself.”

Abaddon gave his wife a despondent look and she already knew what he was trying to say. “No, this isn’t going to kill you. I’m sure it won’t even go beyond one date since they’re both too much alike anyway.”

Audrina has conveniently forgotten that Abaddon and Bekka were a lot alike too and practically inseparable.

But perhaps it was for the best that she didn’t remember that right now…

‘And if it does?’ Abaddon asked with his eyes.

“Well, then… We can kill him then, but-“

“DRINA!” The other wives yelled.

“What!? You all know that’s not the kind of man we would want one of our children to be with!” She defended.

“It doesn’t matter.” Sif defended. “We have never involved ourselves in any of our children’s love lives before, and we are not going to start now. Yemaja is a big girl who can make her own choices, and we don’t always have to agree with them. It doesn’t matter if Ziz is… Ziz.”

Yemaya would have found all of this hilarious if she didn’t know that her twin was undoubtedly going to be mortified.

Audrina still didn’t look sold.

The rest of the wives knew better than to spend time arguing with her and her famously stubborn attitude. So in the end, there was only one final course of action.

– 2 Minutes Later

“…This is bullshit.”

“Total bullshit.” Abaddon agreed.

Both dragons remained bound side by side in the bed. The same blank, unamused expressions on their faces.

Interestingly enough, this was not the first time that either of them had been tied up like this.

Unsurprisingly, the rest of the wives decided to ignore them for the sake of their sanity.

“Should we watch a movie??”

Mira crawled into her parents’ bed and sat down comfortably as if it were her own. After everything else that the dragons had already been through in just a few short minutes, no one really had the heart to tell her to leave.

Yemaya liberated her two youngest siblings from their confinement and brought them into bed with everyone else.

She placed Odessa on top of her father’s chest and she stared down at him in confusion. Almost as if she were wondering how her great and mighty father had ended up in this unthinkably odd predicament.

Mira grabbed the remote and set to picking out a movie that was probably going to be some variation of a murder mystery.

There was a dull scratching at the door before two of her fuzzy companions wandered into the room. Camazotz and Entei both could be seen carrying an assortment of snacks on their backs.

“Bring it in, guys! It’s movie night!” Mira smiled.

Lisa pursed her lips. “Pea, I just got the sheets cleaned and-“

“Y-Yea, bring it in, guys!” Bekka waived. “Make sure you come over here first.”

Lisa sighed and just grabbed a few spare wet wipes from the nightstand and threw them at her.

With the animals also getting themselves settled, Izanami was once again forced back into close proximity with Abaddon.

She helped him sit up despite the ropes digging into his skin and tried not to laugh. “For the record… I understand your decision 100%.” She whispered.

Abaddon just smiled at her apologetically.

“Still not disappointed that this night isn’t what you hoped?”

Izanami shook her head as she leaned on his shoulder.

“Not at all… In fact, it may be even better than I hoped.”

–

Bits of daylight strained to enter the room through the thick curtains.

The television had long switched itself off after too long a period of inactivity. Now, the only sound in the room was that of the obnoxious snoring coming from the great beasts at the foot of the bed.

… And the one in it.

Mira, the wild sleeper that she was, had a snore that was only matched by Bekka’s.

But somehow, everyone around her was still sleeping peacefully as if they hadn’t noticed it.

Abaddon and Audrina were still bound in their ropes but sleeping comfortably nonetheless.

At the appropriate time, Seras’ eyes opened on their own.

She immediately sat up while gently stirring awake the baby sitting on her chest.

Since she had decided that she would be responsible for K’ael’s feeding schedule that night, she had been up with him quite a bit already.

And as K’ael seemed to be used to being woken up by now, Seras was able to get him up without much of a fuss.

Seras lifted up her sports bra and freed her breasts from the confines of the restrictive fabric.

Still half asleep, K’ael opened his mouth thoughtlessly and suckled from her breast.

Seras sighed as she rubbed her eyes and enjoyed the silence in the room.

“Zzzzzz…. death, mayhem, murder, and madness…zzzz..” Mira snored.

“…” Well, maybe not ‘silence’ per se. But it was still nice.

As Seras basked in the morning glow, her eyes suddenly went to the bedroom door that suddenly swung open.

Two familiar faces stepped inside, and Seras felt her face unconsciously break out in a smile.

“Big Mama’s home, babes. Somebody get me a beer!”
