Chapter 5
Vaughn hummed along with the radio as he took the cookie cake out of the oven, where it had been warming. Taking out the candle he had bought for the cake he placed the 1 in the center. Stepping back to make sure it looked right he was struck with the thought that Faith had actually been living with them for a whole year now. That was the honor of this cake; Vaughn had marked this day as Faith’s birthday. In fact, he had decorated the apartment with streamers and balloons just for this occasion.
When Ryun got home from work and had changed Vaughn presented Faith with her cookie cake. Her eyes widened at the sight of the cake and lit candle, she looked between them not knowing what to do next. Vaughn set the cake down on the table and lifted her up into a chair.
“You blow out the flame and make a wish,” Ryun told her. Faith looked at him, a questioning look in her eyes. “Like this.” Ryun took in a breath and blew the candle out with this eye’s closed. He couldn’t deny it, over the course of the past year he had become quite fond of the little angel. Faith’s eyes widened as the candle’s flame went out and as Ryun relit it. “Your turn.”
Faith mimicked Ryun’s actions from moments before. She drew in a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then blew the candle out. Slowly she opened one eye to see if it had the same results as before and “cooed” happily when it did. She grabbed Ryun’s sleeve and tugged it pointing at the candle.
“You only get to blow it out once, now it’s time to eat the cake,” he replied taking the candle out and laying it on a napkin. Faith pouted until Vaughn set a slice of the cookie cake in front of her and she watched them eat. Her eyes lit up once more as she followed their actions and tasted the delicious cake. After they had eaten their fill Vaughn revealed a new hair tie to Faith as a gift.
"Cooo!" She exclaimed happily. She took the hair tie from him and ran to Ryun holding it out to him. He raised an eyebrow looking down at her outstretched hand.
"What? It's pretty..."
"Cooo! Coo!" Faith cooed stomping her foot.
"What does she want?" Ryun questioned.
Vaughn laughed. "You’re the mind reader."
"Coo!" She took his hand and placed the hair tie in it and gestured towards her hair.
"You want me to put this in your hair? Why? Vaughn usually does your hair," Ryun said.
"Coo...you," she chirped. Vaughn's eyes slightly widened.
"Well, that’s new..." He said. "I guess she just wants you to do it for a change."
Ryun sighed and called the brush Vaughn usually used on her hair to his hand. He gestured to the space in front of his legs. "Sit down," he said. Faith did as he said the biggest smile on her face she relaxed next to him as he proceeded to brush her hair. Ryun tied her hair up with the new ribbon and then motioned for her to go look in the mirror. Faith smiled and twirled in front of the mirror. Ryun's mouth held just a hint of a smile.
As she returned to them Ryun pulled a medium sized box from behind his back and held it out to her. Vaughn was surprised to say the least; he hadn’t seen Ryun with the box before. Faith’s eyes widened at the second present.
"Oooo!" She happily took it from him and opened it.
"Why Ryun I would never expect you to be so nice," Vaughn teased.
Ryun just sent Vaughn a look before Faith "cooed" again. She pulled the light blue sun dress from the box and held it up to the light. The flowers at the bottom sparkled. She squealed with delight before dropping the dress to jump into Ryun’s arms. She planted a kiss on his cheek before jumping down to pick up her dress again. She then quickly switched out of her current dress into the sundress with much enthusiasm.
"Damn," Vaughn stated. "I don’t know if it is the dress or the fact that it came from you that made her this excited."
"Shut up," Ryun mumbled as he stood to go get something more to drink from the kitchen.
As the night came to a close Vaughn and Faith took the streamers down while Ryun did the dishes. When Vaughn yawned he jumped at the chance to put Faith to bed and go to sleep himself. Since his transition was progressing his body needed more sleep to make up for the energy it took. Vaughn turned to Faith and held his arms open. Faith smiled and jumped into his waiting arms.
“Time for bed,” he told her walking back to their room.
Ryun headed for his room while Vaughn put Faith to bed. It had long since been established that Vaughn was Faith’s main “parent” in their situation. Vaughn tucked Faith in and kissed her forehead before going to change and then settle into his own bed. Hours passed and around 3am Faith slipped out of her bed and tip toed to Ryun’s room. Silently she crawled in next to him and snuggled up to his torso. Sighing happily she returned to the land of dreams.
The next morning when Ryun's alarm went off he hit the snooze and then laid there trying to wake up. It didn't take him long to notice that he had an extra arm draped over his stomach. He tensed and for a moment he wondered if he had gone out after Faith's party and brought a "friend" back but no... that didn't seem right. Turning to look behind himself he was met with the sight of light blue hair attached to a very nude woman.
"Ah!" He exclaimed falling off the side of his bed. "Chaos!"
"Mmm..." The woman stirred. She sat up stretching, the blanket falling off her form. Vaughn jumped awake and nearly feel off his bed at Ryun’s shout. He stumbled, nearly falling as his blankets tangled around his feet. Skidding into Ryun’s room Vaughn jumped back at the sight of the woman.
"WOAH shit what the hell?" The woman looked around for a moment then pulled a blanket over herself slightly embarrassed.
"What in the nine hell is going on? Who is this!" Ryun questioned.
"Must you shout in the morning?" The woman retorted.
“I don’t know. Did you go out last night?” Vaughn asked ignoring the woman’s comment.
“No.”
“Then…” Vaughn looked back at the woman as she brushed her hair out of her face. A small hair tie still dangling from the thick blue strands. "Wait...F- Faith!?" Vaughn exclaimed.
"Of course it’s me." She smiled.
“But Faith is little!" Ryun stated.
"I was little," Faith stated. "Wait… I was little..." She couldn’t think of why this didn’t bother her.
"Earth Angels grow, remember?" Vaughn reminded them still dumbfounded.
Faith flapped her wings in a stretching motion. She smiled sweetly, "Well, at least I grew to be a pretty lady right?"
"I didn't expect her to grow that quick!" Ryun said running a hand over his face.
Vaughn shrugged and turned as Faith climbed out of the bed. No longer a demon he felt very sheepish about a naked woman. "I will go find you some clothes..."
"Okay," Faith said as she began to fix her hair tie. While her hands were still up she felt a sheet wrap around her nakedness from behind. Glancing back she saw Ryun tucking the edge of the sheet into the part he had brought around her, all the while looking away and not at her. She turned around and smiled at him. Vaughn returned with some of his clothes. They would be big on her but at least she would be covered. "Thanks Vaughn."
"No problem," he replied. "You can go to the bathroom to change now."
She nodded as she walked out of the room.
“How did she learn to talk?” Ryun questioned.
“I guess she sorta… observed us and absorbed the things we said but didn’t use that till now. I’m not completely sure.”
“Okay… new question…where is she going to sleep now?" Since finding Faith she had slept on a small mattress that Vaughn had found in his room.
"We may need to find another place to live I think," Vaughn answered. The two stood there in silence for a bit then he said, "She did turn out pretty." Ryun just snorted, although Vaughn could hear a hint of amusement in it. He knew Ryun agreed without words.
"I'll start looking for a place tomorrow... unless you want to?"
"You can," Vaughn replied. Faith skipped back in the room, she came to a stop grabbing her breasts. "Ow!"
Snickering, Vaughn patted her on the shoulder. "We need to take you bra’s shopping too it seems."
Ryun rolled his eyes. "Thank God it's Saturday," he muttered. "I'm going back to sleep so get out of my room.”
Faith smiled and said "Okay. Sweet dreams!"
Vaughn chuckled quietly as he pulled her out. "An ace bandage will have to do for now, Faith."
"That’s alright," she said as Ryun closed his door.
Ryun sighed listening to them walk away before falling face first back into his bed. He buried his face in the pillows only the raise it a moment later. His scent was not the only one there, but who... oh right, Faith slept with him every chance she got and last night had been no different. Her hair had left the scent of mint on his pillow. Ryun breathed deep and quickly fell back to sleep with a smile.
