“Sorry Kalista my love. I couldn’t write. I couldn’t chance that someone could trace it back to me. Or that they would find you and pull me away from the mission to come rescue you and Kailynn.” He replied before it sunk in. “YOU WERE PREGNANT?!?! WE HAD A SON??!” The assassin was nearly ecstatic over the news and despite his freely bleeding shoulder, he hugged her close and comforted her. “I’m so very sorry that I couldn’t be here, that I missed you’re pregnancy with our son. But this mission couldn’t wait, it couldn’t be put aside.” He allowed her to help him up, and held her close to him, kissing her softly. “We’ll need to bandage my shoulder now, but I don’t mind. We have a son. A beautiful baby boy who probably looks just like you.” He said, before Kailynn came running out having heard her father’s voice. 

“Daddy!!” She cried as she wrapped arms around his thigh and held on. “I missed you so much! I’ve got so much to tell you!” She exclaimed, hugging his thigh tight. His hand went down to her head and patted it. “Hi Kailynn my love. I missed you a lot.” He said, wanting to scoop her up, but couldn’t with that shoulder being injured.

“I will go get what we need to fix that shoulder. I know we have the right stuff.” Kalista smiled as she heard Kailynn come to the door to meet her father. There was so much she and Kailynn both had to tell Talon, but right now was not the time. What’s more, she wished to show him his son as well. She would grab him while she went to get the medical supplies. She had almost drowned out his cries while the ordeal at the front door went on.

“Stay put dear, or sit down. I will be right back.” She quickly pecked his cheek with a kiss, and walked quickly to the bathroom to go through a cabinet with all of the medical supplies she thought necessary. 

Good, we do have what we need. 

With what she needed in one hand, she dashed into their son’s room, picking him up from his crib and holding him very close. Returning to Talon and Kailynn, she set the medical supplies on the table so she could properly hold their son, Aki. Though very small, he had a lot of hair that was a very beautiful white and his eyes were as beautiful as the blood moon itself, just like his father’s. 

“Talon, meet your son, Aki.” A gentle smile came to her face as she looked at her son and then to her husband who’s face she dearly missed. “He looks just like you.” 

Talon nodded to his wife and moved into the living room with Kailynn in tow as he sat down on a stool, and removed his armor. Kalista’s spears had a great habit of not damaging armor, and merely piercing the person’s skin. He pulled up Kailynn, hugging her close and getting snuggles from his daughter. “We missed you daddy.” “I know my lovely little assassin. It’s been too long, and that was my fault. I should have been home so much sooner. Did you help momma with the baby boy while I was gone?” “Yes Daddy. Here, momma’s coming back!” She said excitedly, as she bounced up and down, her hands on Talon’s knee. He glanced up, his black beard shaggy and very much out of place on his visage. 

His good arm came up, and pulled his son down to his chest. “Oh my, he’s perfect. My perfect little boy, my son.” He said, his eyes tearing up, and love filling his heart. “How perfect you are.” He whispered, before giving a short hiss of pain as Kalista tore his shirt open and checked the wound for any issues before she started to bandage it up. Once she finished up, he grabbed her hand, and pulled her down for a kiss. “Thank you so much for carrying this beautiful baby boy in you while I was gone. I’m so so so sorry that I wasn’t able to be here like I was for Kailynn. Please forgive me my love.” He said said against her lips.

Talon was gritty, and looking rather rough around the edges. He felt the bread on his face, and wanted nothing more then a shave, and a shower, and his wife. He entered the yard, and was instantly wary. There was a child crying, and there was no way that Kailynn was still wailing like that. It meant that there was another child. Was Kalista baby sitting for someone? He had so many questions, and he entered the home, calling out for his wife. 

She came to the doorway, and saw him there. She was happy for just a moment, before her spear was in her hand and she was charging him, slamming him to the ground, screaming at him, “WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!” He gave a cry of pain as her spear was buried in his shoulder, and he looked up at her through pain ridden eyes. “Sorry love, I swear I meant to get back sooner, but the situation didn’t allow me to. I will be more then happy to tell you all about it, but you really have to take your spear out of my shoulder, and let me up and get a shave. I look like hell.” He gritted out through clenched teeth from the pain.

Kalista’s breathing was quick, her anger turning everything red for the few seconds it took to floor her husband who had been gone for so long. While one hand was wrapped around the spear she had buried into his shoulder, the other had a death grip on his shirt. 

“Could you not write me? Or even remotely tell me of your whereabouts?! I was pregnant with your son Talon, AND YOU WEREN’T THERE! I NEEDED YOU AND ALL I COULD DO IS WORRY ABOUT IF YOU WERE DEAD OR–OR-” She released her grips on him, letting the spear vanish into thin air. Her shoulders shook as she tried to hold back her tears as she looked at his face. “I… I was so worried.” She couldn’t help but lay her face into his chest for a moment, trying to get over the sudden rush of emotions she felt as he had walked through their door. 

“I’m sorry..” She sniffled, finally getting off of him and pulling him up off the floor so he could finally stand proper. “I suppose a spear in the shoulder is not the best welcome home… We all missed you, dear.” 

“Sorry Kalista my love. I couldn’t write. I couldn’t chance that someone could trace it back to me. Or that they would find you and pull me away from the mission to come rescue you and Kailynn.” He replied before it sunk in. “YOU WERE PREGNANT?!?! WE HAD A SON??!” The assassin was nearly ecstatic over the news and despite his freely bleeding shoulder, he hugged her close and comforted her. “I’m so very sorry that I couldn’t be here, that I missed you’re pregnancy with our son. But this mission couldn’t wait, it couldn’t be put aside.” He allowed her to help him up, and held her close to him, kissing her softly. “We’ll need to bandage my shoulder now, but I don’t mind. We have a son. A beautiful baby boy who probably looks just like you.” He said, before Kailynn came running out having heard her father’s voice. 

“Daddy!!” She cried as she wrapped arms around his thigh and held on. “I missed you so much! I’ve got so much to tell you!” She exclaimed, hugging his thigh tight. His hand went down to her head and patted it. “Hi Kailynn my love. I missed you a lot.” He said, wanting to scoop her up, but couldn’t with that shoulder being injured.

At the nice welcome Talon took a seat himself and looked at the other version of himself. It was still - after all those years - weird to think about how twins of oneself walked around the world. But this one was a little different. Crimson had always been special.

Talon cleared his throat and didn’t even dare to look the other in the eyes as he started talking. “Well, you see… uhm… Fate and I got hurt a little… I mean, emotionally, not too long ago. And we’ve been trying to recover, but errr… I… I feel we need something… How should I put that - something ‘refreshing’. New. Spicy…?”

The white haired Crimson glanced at Talon with a tilt to his head and grinned softly. “Well, I hope that everything is okay between you. However, what your suggesting is rather... out there. Considering our past, we haven’t always seen eye to eye on this. The last time we did this, it was because I needed to be brought out of my depression. If you will both have me, I would be more then happy to help. However, you must be comfortable with what we’re going to do, with who’s where. As I know Fate will be okay with it either way, it’s on you to be comfortable with what you’re suggesting.” Crimson reached out and laid a hand on Talon’s thigh. “You can’t even look me in the face when suggesting it. I just want you to be comfortable with this.”

“You also owe me a year’s worth of cuddles, a year’s worth of dumb fights, and a year’s worth of sex, that’s for sure.” Ezreal teased, light tracing small circles on his lover’s arm with his finger. To be honest his ability to accept the kisses and caresses surprised Ezreal himself, as he did not find himself squirming away or tensing. Sure it was Talon, but contact was contact even if he longed for his more than any other’s.

A small smile forms on his lips. “Don’t beat yourself up over it too hard, you are here now. I’ll save the “I’m mad at you but still understand” act for later, right now I only want to make sure you are here and that you are real.“

“I might have to skip out on the dumb fights love. I’ve had enough fighting to last me a life time.” He said softly as he leaned up and kissed Ezreal’s forehead. “However, everything else is yours to call on.” Talon replied, as he kept stroking up and down Ezreal’s back, revelling in the fact that he was real and laying on top of him, something he had dreamt about for the long time he was gone. “I’m very real love. Very very real. And very very much here. I’ve missed you so desperately. You were always on my mind, always in my thoughts.” He said softly, as he inhaled the scent of his lover, having missed it so badly.

Well, at least he could make the calls on the cuddles and the sex. Not like that didn’t happen before, but it was definitely better than not having him around at all. The blond moved up to be face to face with his lover, half lidded blue eyes locked on crimson irises after so many moons apart.

“What kind of job kept you away for so long anyways?” Ezreal had the urge to ask if he had been wounded, if there was any new scars he didn’t know of, but the chances were too high to even make that question. Of course Talon had new scars if he had been fighting a whole year. “ I think I at least deserve to know, perhaps not the details, but at least the mayor scheme.”

Talon stiffened slightly when he was asked, and looked away from Ezreal for a moment, giving a small exhale. It was always difficult to tell people what had happened, since he had been sworn into secrecy. But he moved his eyes back to the man he loved and gave another sigh. “You’re right, you do deserve that. I’ve been scouting and fighting off the Void invasion. As well as running messages between large city states about the movements of the Void creatures. Every day was another day I hadn’t been killed or consumed. With the amount of knowledge that I have, that I control, it would have been given to the Void, and they would know everything. How to sneak in and out of Piltover, Demacia, Bandle City. Noxus. Everywhere. They would have had everything they needed to completely take over the world, and that was something I wanted to avoid. So I had to be super cautious.” Talon paused, his hands on Ezreal’s thighs now, hands gripping strongly, but not hard enough to hurt him.

“Thinking of you losing me kept me level, kept me from being excessively risky. I was wounded badly after one skirmish outside of Freljord, and was found by the Avarosians. They cared for me the best they were able, but I was still bed ridden for a month after that. Once I could move around, I was weaker then a baby, and couldn’t do much for myself. Had to spend another month in that frigid environment till I could come home. I still have to report to Valkeryie, but she wasn’t at the office, out doing gods knows what, so I came home, and ran into you on the way.”

cute new skt skin.

I’ll rate them out of ten and give a gif!

“Happy as a pig in mud. God I’ve missed you Crim.” He took no time nearly scooping the white haired assassin up in his arms.

Without a hesitation, Crimson wrapped his arms around Fate revelling in the warmth. “Oh I’ve missed you Fate. How have you been?”

“I’m swell. Yer father, er all Talon’s father is comin’ ta stay fer a while in our place soon. Stop by, I’ll go ta market fer steak fer you all.” He hugged the man tightly, the hold showing just how much he did miss this man..

He was family..

“I’d like that. When is soon? Because I think I need a shower, and a trim.” Crimson replied as he hugged Fate back. This was home, family and everything he had ever wanted. More then what he had ever had with Kat and Cass. He loved them like sisters, but he was more like a glorified body guard, where as with Fate and Talon, he was a brother, he was family.

The man’s return of his embrace only encouraged Calix to bury his face a little more, to hold a little tighter. He could hardly believe it was him - it had been so long. He took in a deep breath - his scent was still familiar, still comforting as it had always been. 

“I missed you too…” was sincere, although a little muffled. 

“However, let’s go home, so that we can just bask in this glory of being together before I feel the need to kill people looking at us.” He whispered, pressing his lips onto Calix’s hair, and holding on tight. Gods he had missed the man in his arms so much, wanting nothing more then to cuddle in with him in front of a fire and get caught up, before giving him some much needed loving.

Calix smiled against Talon’s chest at the suggestion. He supposed catching up and clinging to the Crimson Elite assassin would probably be better done in private that in the middle of the market street like this. Still, it seemed to take some effort to let go - as though he thought the man might just…disappear. 

Slowly, the half-Piltovian loosened his embrace, giving Talon a quick smile, ‘Yeah, that sounds good-” he affirmed. Being alone with his good friend and lover after so long without seeing him would be good- very good. It would give them an opportunity to just…enjoy each other’s presence again - and as much as Calix wanted to ask questions, it was more important just for him to be back.

Talon wrapped an arm around Calix’s shoulders to keep contact with him, and the pair walked to his apartment, which hadn’t changed in the year he had been gone. Quick to open the door, the assassin gave the other man a kiss, full on the lips once that door was closed behind them and they were inside. “Let me get my armor off, then we’ll get caught up.” He said, as he moved into the living room, and stripped his chest plate off along with the rest of his armor. He left it in a messy pile in the corner and laid down on the couch before gesturing for Calix to come join him. 

“This is so much better then meeting up on the streets. Now I can relax, and enjoy talking with you. What have you been up to while I’ve been gone?”

The smile on his lips grew wider, not minding one bit the sudden groping as he was lifted up, making the explorer stand on his toes as his lover continued to kiss him. Kisses that Ezreal replied between laughs and giggles with kisses of his own, always trying to keep their noses touching.

“Hmm that sounds like a plan… But I think I can skip a meal, it was almost a year Tal. You are not getting rid of me that easy.”

“If you think I was going to put you down while I was making food, you’ve got another thing coming. I’m not letting you go for a long time.” He replied, their noses always touching, as Talon moved towards the house he lived in. He wanted to lay on the couch with Ezreal curled up on top of him. Getting into the door was difficult, but they managed alright, before he kicked the door shut and set Ezreal down. “You’ll need to let go of me for just a bit while I take all this armor off. But I’m not leaving this room, so we’ll still see each other.”

“You say you are not letting go and then you tell me you need to take off your armor, wow. Cruel.” But the blond doesn’t mean any of those words, and instead just chuckles and waits patiently on the couch. He already waited a whole year, why not a few minutes more? Having Talon this close was a factor that only made him grow more impatient though.

He waited until Talon was done to pull him down and cuddle up to him, legs intertwined and his head resting on his lover’s chest. “I missed you so fucking much…. You owe me like, a year worth of kisses.”

It didn’t take the assassin long once he got Ezreal on the couch to shed his armor, left in his spandex undershirt and pants. Flopping back on the couch, Ezreal was quick to climb onto him without a second thought, cuddling up, legs tangled with the assassin’s and his head resting on his chest. “I’m so sorry it took me so long to return. That was my fault. I couldn’t get a message to you safely without revealing my location, and my work was of the utmost importance.” Talon chuckled, holding the Explorer close to him, and ran a hand through his hair. “I think I owe you a bit more then just a year worth of kisses.” He replied softly, leaning down to kiss the other man on the top of his head. “Oh how I missed it being like this.”
