In the upstairs bedroom, the senior photography student was typing away at the computer, his fingers moving quickly over the keys as he finished the page he was working on, a truimphant grin on his face as he hit the save button several times. He wasn't taking any chances with this paper not saving, that was for sure! He had spent entirely too much time and energy getting it to the point where it was now and he wasn't writing it over again or he'd keel over and just die... or decide that graduating just wasn't worth it and become a bum for the rest of his life

His partner's arrival wasn't exactly a surprise, as the older of the two wasn't exactly what Riku would call graceful on the stairs. He had a habit of bounding down them like a kid at Christmas and then attempting to sneak up on him, and he always seemed flummoxed when his persistent trying failed. The younger didn't want to tell him he could hear him coming from a mile away, though; it just ruined the fun

"Of course I was that adorable when I was one! Doubly so because there were two cute little babies running around!" he said with a laugh as he moved around the chair, perching himself on the arm to get a better look at the photo album. "When I was one, you couldn't tell my sister and I apart unless we were naked... it made for double the cute family Christmas cards

"You know what it means when you say that people couldn't tell you and your sister apart, right?" Riku grinned at his partner to inform the other, in a wordless way, that a nasty jab was coming his way. "You're born to be a gender bender. Ditch the mullet, put on a dress and a pair of heels and no one will know you're a guy until they get you naked...!" The younger made sure to keep his cigarette at a reasonable distance from his older partner, aware that he hated his one major vice and being as respectful of that dislike as Demyx was being not nagging him constantly about quitting. He knew he had to quit; there was a sign in flashing halogen that read "QUIT SMOKING" blinking away in his mind, but he had tried and failed so many times he was waiting until the summer, when things calmed down, to make attempt number 4

Demyx laughed softly at the jab at his appearance, unable to resist ruffling his husbands hair, messing up the usually perfect silver locks. "Oh come on now! We've both seen me in a skirt and we agree that I don't have the legs for it!" The grin quickly faded at the look of meloncholy that had come over his longtime lover. The blonde ignored the cigarette as he gently nudged Riku over, sliding comfortably into the chair beside him; sure, it was a tight fit, but it gave him the perfect opportunity to slide his arms around the younger one to pull him close as he finished his cigarette. "She loved you so much, Riku, that much is obvious from all the things you've told me about her

[blackstar_key]

"I won't argue; you really don't have the legs for drag..." Riku mused aloud, thinking on this point a little more before elaborating. " Well... no one said you had to be a pretty gender bender...?" Another jab at his lover. He had fun mocking and teasing him on a regular basis; he felt it kept him fresh and on his toes for when he had to put up with the weekly crap from the swim team her still captained. He'd been running them a bit like he ran his boys back in the day, but even Coach had to admit they were in the best form they'd ever been in and were assured of more silverware to add to the case at the end of semester

"And does that mean that I have horrible taste in men? After all, I did marry you twice!" he teased with a laugh as he slid his arms around Riku. "Come on, you're like Kairi's older brother, I don't care if she's dating the most perfect man in the world, you're still going to find something about him that you don't like! It's just how things are supposed to be! You threaten the boyfriends and make sure that they're going to treat her right and then you go to tolerating them!" He smiled and kissed him. "Just going to have to get used to the idea that Zidane is going to stick around for a while

[blackstar_key]

"It does mean you have horrible taste in men," Riku responded simply as he found himself instinctively moving into Demyx's open arms. "Look at the guys you were dating before, and I say dating loosely. Then you decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel and go for the quiet guy with a rap sheet longer than your arm. Pretty shit, if you ask me

[h2o_dancer]

A soft laugh left the blonde's throat at the mention of Kairi's boyfriend. His husband was such an overprotective big brother when it came to the younger red-head, not that Demyx could blame him. He had always been protective of Kyla when he'd been home, but once he left, she fell into the crowd of wrong guys and abusive boyfriends and was now a single mother, something that Riku would murder people for if it ever happened to Kairi. But Kairi was smarter than to get herself in that situation... of course, he had thought the same thing about his sister and now he had a one-year-old neice that was as close to having kids as he'd ever get. And, he was completely okay with that! The animals would be their kids and they'd be the crazy old guys on the corner with lots of nieces and nephews and animals, but no kids of their own
