birthday - aiden hall
warning(s) : eighteen! aiden hall, smut, not canon lolz,
summary : it’s aiden’s eighteenth birthday pool party. this is basically porn w a plot oops.
words : 3.7k
the loud noises of shouts and splashes could be heard the second you got out of your parked car in front of the hall house. it was almost two in the afternoon and as usual, you were running just a little bit late to the pool party that aiden was having for his eighteenth birthday party. you always made fun of him because he was one of the youngest kids in the grade, having a birthday in early july. 
it was nice though, because he almost always had pool parties when his parents weren’t home and they were usually always good. his house wasn’t very big, but cool and modern so the outside was decorated the best way to have good ass outside parties. and this was a good way to see everybody before they headed off to various colleges and cities.
you weren’t too close with aiden, only being in a few of his classes before graduation. there had always been some kind of underlying tension between the two of you, but you weren’t sure if it was just because sometimes he could really piss you off sometimes or because he was hot as fuck. 
you walked up to the front door, ringing the doorbell just like the invitation had said to do in the group text that got sent out to a good quarter of your now graduated class. from the backyard you heard the doorbell ring, probably so that someone would hear and actually come answer the door. 
a few minutes lulled by until the door opened, revealing the birthday boy himself. his brown hair was slicked down wet from the water and he wore white swimsuit trunks that stuck to his skin, revealing a little bit more than intended. realizing that you were staring, you looked up into his green eyes and grinned, holding out a card that you had signed for him. afterall, he said he didn’t really want any gifts, just people to attend. 
“for you, birthday boy,” you said to aiden, clutching your towel against your chest. 
aiden’s eyes raked your body, eyebrow cocking up and grabbing the card. “thanks, glad you could come. where’s your bathing suit? this is a pool party y/n, unless you can’t read,” aiden teased, moving away to give you room to walk into his house. 
you did, watching him close the door and walk next to him as you two made it to the back of his house. once you reached the back sliding glass doors, you gave him a look, “oh! you’re right.”
setting down your towel on the counter, you grabbed your t shirt and pulled it off, doing the same thing with your athletic shorts you were wearing. all while you looked at him in the eyes. aiden’s bottom lip made its way in between his pearly white teeth, watching you while you just smirked and stripped down into your solid black bikini. 
grabbing your things, you gave him the most innocent smile. like you hadn’t just given him the biggest fuck me eyes ever. you slid the door open and walked out into the backyard. other people yelled your name as a hello as you made your way to an empty chair next to your friend julie. 
“hey,” you greeted her, setting your things down and making sure you had your towel somewhere easily accessible for when you went in. 
julie smiled, grabbing your hand to pull you closer to her. “aiden looks like he’s going to fucking jump you, what did you say to him?”
you laughed while rubbing some sunscreen onto your skin, looking at the large crowd aiden was with, his eyes glancing over at you from time to time as he smiled and talked with his closer friends. “nothing. you know how he is.”
“you’ve wanted to fuck him since junior year english class, you can’t hide from me,” julie said with a giggle, pushing her sunglasses down.
you only shook your head, trying to deny it, but it was hard to deny something that was true. it seemed like both of you have been hung up on each other for so long, it was only a matter of time until the cord finally snapped and you two were pouncing on each other. 
and the way he looked in those swim shorts . . . damn you were surprised you weren’t drooling. the outline of his dick was oh so evident because the wet fabric clung to his golden, tanned skin. all that time playing baseball seemed to have payed off, since he had abs for days and his skin was basically glowing. and just as you were about to take another once over at aiden, you forced yourself to look away. 
after all, you didn’t want to get any unwanted attention if someone caught you. 
“oh my god, you’re so whipped, y/n. jesus. come on.”
julie pulled you by the hand over to the pool stairs, making you submerge yourself into the cool water. water droplets fell down your face as you emerged, pushing back your hair out of your face and breathing in lightly. 
the guys in the group aiden was in made their way in too, starting up a conversation with you and julie. you tried to keep in the conversation as much as you could, but aiden was swimming over to you with two red solo cups in his hands. 
“you looked thirsty,” he explained, handing you one. you took a sip and hummed, laying your back against the edge of the pool and looking at him. his hand came up and his thumb pressed against the edge of your lips, the pad wiping the water that slicked your lips from your previous submerge in the water. you had to physically stop yourself from whining against his mouth, watching him pull away and give you a side grin. “sorry, just wiping the water off.”
sure, you thought. the most innocent thing ever.
“so where are your parents then?” you asked him. “i doubt they’d be okay with all of us drinking and partying right now.” 
he shrugged. “hotel. i told them that i’d be having some friends over for a pool gathering thing. they’re coming back at like five tomorrow.”
“nice, so you’re just going to be in your house alone for almost two days?” you asked. “sounds lonely.”
aiden laughed, setting down his solo cup next to yours, moving closer to you. his face was only inches away from yours when he said, “doesn’t have to be lonely if there’s someone else there with me.” 
the blush creeping up to your cheeks could be blamed by the summer heat falling onto your skin, but you and him both knew that it was because of his not so subtle flirting with you. you played it off, taking some water and wiping it on your face. “you wish, birthday boy,” you teased. 
he didn’t say anything, only shrugging those broadened shoulders again and returning to the conversation that was going on next to you. 
for the rest of the night this little back and forth thing persisted. sometimes it would just be glances with a mix of eye contact. at one point he winked at you and you felt yourself weak in the knees. the longer the flirting went on, the more you felt yourself wanting him. it was a deep need that was ever so prevalent you felt like you were going to burst every time he would subtly touch you. 
the sun set and people began to leave here and there, saying that they had to be home for dinner or had to get up early in the morning. julie left, but after she whispered to you that you better fuck him and tell her everything in the morning. you just laughed and pushed her away, though you were left without many people at the party to talk to. 
you were walking back from the outside bar area with a newly filled solo cup when you heard your name being called from beside you. it was aiden, sitting in the hot tub beside the pool. with him were a few friends and their girlfriends. he beckoned you over with his hands. 
laughing, you nodded your head and walked into the hot tub, using the steps to lower yourself into the bubbling water. you searched for a seat but there wasn’t one, so you gave aiden a questioning look. “there’s no spot for me.”
“that’s what my lap is for, come here,” his arms wrapped around your waist and pulled you towards him, seating you right on his lap. his chin rested against your shoulder as you two sat. smirking, you pushed yourself down on him and heard his breathing falter for just a moment. you turned so you were sitting horizontally and could see his face, rolling your eyes teasingly when you saw that he was already looking at you
the people in the hot tub talked, something about college football, but you weren’t listening again. instead thinking about how aiden’s hands were holding your hips so close to touching your hip bones. it was hard to breathe because of how much your heart was pounding. 
suddenly you stood up in the water, to which aiden gave you a confused look. without even hesitating, you grabbed his hand, pulling him out of the tub. “could you get me a glass of water?” you asked, motioning to inside the house. you hoped that he would get the memo. you weren’t actually thirsty, you just wanted a reason to get him alone. luckily he did, just giving that goofy grin and nodding his head. 
both of you walked inside the house, closing the sliding glass door behind you. aiden sauntered into the dimly lit kitchen. “do you want a big glass or?” he asked. 
you groaned out, causing him to give you a look of confusion. 
“y/n, what’s wrong-” “did you actually think i wanted water?” you interjected, giggling a little bit. you walked over to him so that you were only inches away. there were still droplets of water falling onto his chest that you quickly caught when you put your hands on it. his eyes widened and he leaned into your touch. 
without thinking, aiden’s head ducked down and he kissed you. his lips tasted even better that you imagined even in your deepest darkest fantasies. your hands snaked up from his bare chest to cup his face, pulling him even closer to you than before. the kiss was desperate, each of your burning needs for each other coming into light. 
the kiss broke only when he decided to press kisses along your jaw, all the way down to your collarbones. “i want you so bad,” you muttered out, feeling initial embarrassment from finally confessing to your needs. the needs that you had felt for too damn long. 
“come with me,” aiden ordered, grabbing you by the hand and pulling you deeper into his house. he led you up the stairs and into what you assumed was his room. you walked over to his bed with a little jump in your step and fell back onto it, his body coming down to lay on top of yours soon after. 
his lips enveloped your own again, kissing you with such force that you didn’t know was possible. the underline neediness that was between both of you was enough to make your toes curl, you were finally getting what you wanted for so long. all those little flirty notes in class and looks given at the party were finally all paying off. 
a few short minutes passed by, though to both of you it felt like ages, and you pulled away to look up at him. his green eyes gleamed with wonder and amazement that the girl of his dreams was close enough to touch, he longed to appreciate every curve of your body and make you feel like the goddess of a woman he really thought that you were. “you’re such a fucking masterpiece,” he muttered under his breath, almost like he didn’t want you to hear it. 
but you did, heart swooning, replaying that over and over in your head like a mantra. no one has ever told you that before, no one has ever looked at you with such wonder and adoration the way that aiden is right now. it makes you feel so special and loved. sure, you’ve had some sexual partners in the past that were a good time, but this really felt real and in the moment. this felt right. 
your hand came up to push away the strands of light brown hair that fell onto his forehead and shielded his eyes, those eyes that you got lost in every single time you looked into them. “says you,” you replied, a giggle escaping your lips at his obliviousness to how fucking attractive he really is. he really had no idea, did he?
with one small kiss to your lips, aiden gave you a look. “do you really want this?” 
yes. yes. a million times yes. 
you didn’t even answer, not finding the need to. you instead grabbed your bikini straps from your shoulder and pulled them each down, pushing yourself up with your hands to motion for him to take it off. go on, ravish me.
eyes widening much like a kid in a candy store ( which you thought was the cutest thing you think you’ve ever seen ), aiden reached behind your back and splayed his hands on the skin just above your shoulder blades. the mere touch of his hands on your sun kissed skin was enough to send shivers down your spine, skin peppering with small goosebumps. aiden noticed and gave you a shy smile, fingers dancing along your skin until they reached the last strap of your bikini that was tied in a simple knot. 
with a dexterity that aiden wasn’t too sure that he had, he untied the last knot and let the bikini fall off your chest, exposing your top half to him. each of your breaths hitched in your throat, your eyes looking at his reaction and his eyes dancing along your chest. you didn’t know why you felt so nervous, but something about the way that he was looking at you made both your heart swell and arousal sent right down south. 
ravish me. ravish me. 
you grabbed his right hand and placed it on your right breast, giving him a nod of approval. 
you can touch me. you can do anything to me and i’d say yes. 
all that tension that he has let bubble up let go and aiden went back to exploring your body. the hand that was on your breast gave it a light squeeze and you breathed out, to which he leaned and gave the valley between your breasts a light kiss. a string of butterfly kisses trailed along your skin, sending you to lay yourself back down on the soft sheets of his bed. 
and aiden thought that he was in heaven. he could listen to those breathy moans you made at every other kiss he made to your soft skin forever. your hips inadvertently pressed up against his own and each of you groaned out at the feeling, already so worked up from the light contact between you both. 
your hands came down the sides of his torso all the way to where his swimsuit trunks started and he looked up at you from kissing your chest, which was splattered full of red and purple marks that showed each and every place where he kissed you. you have him a innocent smile, making him shrug his shoulders idly and go back to the canvas on your skin that he painted with his lips and teeth. 
one hand reached even farther down and palmed him through his trunks, causing him to stop for a moment and groan against your skin. your whole body felt like it was on fire, the anticipation almost killing you. you wanted to know what he felt like inside you, filling you up and making you his. 
it was because of this desire and break of patience that you began to stroke his clothed dick, feeling it harden even harder than it already was in your hand. at this point he has completely stopped kissing your chest and leaned his head against it, feeling his hair tickle against your skin made you grin. 
he wanted you just as badly as you wanted him. 
the last bits of water that were littered on your bodies trailed down, temporarily cooling your hot bodies. his hand came to meet yours and pulled it away from him, giving you one last look before getting off of you to go search through his drawers for a condom. it didn’t take long for him to come back and he stood at the edge of the bed where your legs were spread open for him. 
aiden leaned down and pressed a kiss to the top of your knee, trailing all the way up until he was at the apex of your thighs. his hands hooked into your bathing suit bottoms and trailed them down all the way off of you, kissing up to your stomach and all the way back up to your neck, then to your lips, giving you a quick peck. 
he went back to pulling off his own bathing suit, each of you now fully naked for each other now. he rolled the condom onto himself and laid in between your legs. 
go on now . . .
your hand came to reach for his own that was laying on the mattress, interlacing your fingers together. he reached and kissed your wrist, which was the sweetest thing ever and it almost made you want to cry out of happiness. but you didn’t have much time to dwell on it because aiden was pushing into you, and your thoughts were all on him. 
you were the tightest thing that aiden has ever experienced and for a moment there he thought that he was seeing stars as he slowly inched in, taking his time to make sure that he didn’t hurt you too much. you bit your lip, squeezing aiden’s hand until he bottomed up, each of your mouths agape at the feeling of him being buried into the hilt. 
he wasn’t going to move until you gave him the okay, so he patiently waited, pressing light kisses to your cheeks as you sat there, breathing heavily and waiting for the pain to decrease. after a while it started to, and bits of pleasure started to take over in its place. “please . . .” you muttered out, looking into his green eyes that stared down at you. 
and that’s all he needed, prompting him to pull all the way out and push back in, this time going in all at once. the moan that you gave out fueled his ego and your hands that unlocked from his own came to grab onto his back made him sure that you were okay. 
in this moment where you felt aiden thrust in and out at a steady rhythm, all you could think about was how this moment felt perfect. you’ve shamefully fantasized about this moment for a long time, though the real thing would never measure up to the numerous amounts of fantasies that you did have. 
you had been so worked up from today that you knew you weren’t going to last very long, and from the grunts that left his mouth sometimes confirmed that he wasn’t going to last very long either. 
in the midst of your soft moans and languid breaths, you made eye contact with him, your eyes half lidded, saying, “you’re perfect. everything i-” thrust. “everything i’ve ever wanted.” you felt vulnerable after you said that, which was almost ironic because you would’ve thought you felt vulnerable when he first saw you naked. but this, this confession that you could make out made you feel so exposed to him it made you want to melt in a puddle. 
aiden didn’t stop fucking you into the mattress as he looked up at you, cheeks red from your words. “you’re everything i’ve ever needed, y/n,” he replied. you wrapped your legs around his waist, moaning at the new angle that he hit deep inside you. “you’re so fucking pretty like this,” aiden sputtered out, kissing you with his tongue prodding against your own.
your legs tightened around your waist upon feeling that build almost reach it’s peak, a mix and conglomeration of emotions searing white hot inside you while you admired the boy with you. you squeezed around him, which made him reach down and start rubbing slow circles along your clit. 
his actions paired with your hips reaching up to hit his halfway made your high sneak up at you, hitting you harder than you ever had before. this rendered you speechless only able to make out his name as you rolled your hips along to meet his own, riding out the best sex that you’ve ever had in your life. 
you grabbed him by the neck and kissed him, long and hard, putting all of your emotion into that one kiss that had him pushed along enough to cum. he rode it out, thrusts becoming ever so sloppy until they ceased all together. aiden stilled inside of you, leaving each of you to catch your breaths. 
his eyes met yours once again and you gave him a smile, sweat dripping on each of your foreheads. he flashed you a smile and pulled out, standing up and throwing the condom away, reaching into his drawer to pull on boxers. he also grabbed a pair of shorts for you with the stringtie so you could fit them to your waist, and a t shirt. 
“here,” he said to you, sitting down on the bed where you lay. you took the clothes out of his hands and nodded as a thanks. in a few short moments you were dressed again, jumping onto his bed and snuggling into the covers. aiden gave a laugh, “don’t fall asleep. you’re parents will get worried.”
you smiled tiredly, already getting comfortable enough to fall asleep. “no way. i’ll just text them that i’m staying over at a friends. there’s no way you’re getting rid of me now.”
not that he would ever want to get rid of you anyways.
aiden laughed at your joke, nearing towards the door. “i’m going to kick everyone out. i’ll be back in a moment, lazy.”

One Muse’s Mistake (MCxMatthew)
PowerSwap!Prompt. This was the idea of @lekawaiimelon. It took longer than I anticipated. I hope everyone enjoys reading this. Feedback is appreciated.^^ (I do not own any of the characters. They belong to @thebunnyofevil) I accept fic requests :)
Matthew woke up with a headache that was worse than any that he has ever had. It was so bad that he wanted to rip his own head off. "Argh!" "You okay, Matthew?" he heard a voice ask. Then he realised the voice belonged to his wife, Mika, who was looking at him with concern etched onto her lovely face. "Yeah, I'm fine, I just have this terrible headache." "A headache? I didn't know demons could get headaches." She said “I’m sure it’ll go away soon.” he reassured her with the best smile he could manage.
She returned his smile and kissed him before getting out of the bed. “I’ll go prepare breakfast. You should rest a little longer.” “Okay.” Then she walked out of the room and Matthew lay back down on the bed, however, no matter how hard he tried he just couldn’t go back to sleep. His head was killing him. He decided to join Mika in the kitchen. If he couldn’t sleep, he could at least help her make breakfast. He slowly got out of bed and made his way downstairs very carefully. It was hard to concentrate on where he was going with the pain. When he finally made it to the kitchen he saw Mika standing in front of the counter with her hands on her hips, completely oblivious to his presence.
‘What should I make for breakfast?’
“Some pancakes would do nicely.” He said and watched her jump and gasp.
“Matthew! When did you get here?” She asked out breath.
Matthew chuckled at the sight of her frightened. “Just now. I couldn’t go back to sleep so I came to help instead.”
She nodded. “Oh, that’s sweet but it’s okay. You just sit down and I’ll make some pancakes, then.” She smiled and got to work while he went to sit down at the dining room trying to ignore the invisible daggers that were stabbing his head repeatedly. He was relieved when she finally came out of the kitchen with two plates full of pancakes. He only realized how hungry he was when Mika set his plate in front of him. He then instantly began to devour his food momentarily forgetting about the pain. He stopped eating when he heard Mika.
'Wow, he must have been starving. He’s eating so fast he’ll choke!’
He looked down at his plate and saw he was about to finish his food whereas she wasn’t even halfway through.
“I’m sorry…” he said quietly.
Mika gave him a confused look. “What are you apologizing for?”
“For eating like an animal.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Matthew. You’re not eating like an animal.”
“You just said I was eating too fast!”
She looked at him like he had gone nuts. “I did not!”
“Did, too. You said ’ wow, he must have been starving, he’s eating so fast he’ll choke’. Did you really think I wouldn’t hear you?” He snapped at her. He wasn’t sure whether he was actually angry or that the headache was making him irritable.
Mika furrowed her brows.
'How did he…’
Then her eyes widened. 'Could it be?’ Matthew was watching her with confusion, trying to figure out what she was trying to do. She suddenly sat up straight and looked directly into his eyes.
'Matthew, can you hear me?’
The question irritated him beyond reason.  He knew that he was acting like this because of the pain but he couldn’t help it. He could ask for forgiveness later.
“What kind of question is that? Of course I can hear you. Do you think I’m deaf as well as a savage?” He heard Mika gasp loudly. “What?”
“You can read my mind.”
“What?! That’s impossible!” He exclaimed, making his head hurt further with his own voice.
'But it’s true. Watch my lips, Matthew. They’re not moving but you can hear me talking. What other explanation is there?’
He watched her lips like she asked while listening to her and realised she was right. They were not moving but he could hear her regardless.
“How is this possible?” He whispered almost too quietly for Mika to hear.
“I don’t know, sweetie but I think that explains your headache.I remember Damien having terrible headaches from time to time. Especially when he was low on energy.” Then she suddenly had an idea and got up to come to side, pulling his chair back so that she could sit on his lap.
“W-what are you doing?!” He asked, taken of guard by the sudden intimacy. She smiled. “The reason for your headache. It might be because you’re low on energy so I’m going to give you some.” She explained.
“Bu-” Before he could finish his sentence she covered his mouth with hers. Her lips felt so warm and familiar on his that he couldn’t help but respond and instantly he felt her energy making its way to his body almost as if she was pushing it. He wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around her legs, pulling her more tightly against him. She gasped at the touch, granting him an opportunity to deepen the kiss and he took it. As her energy was being poured into his body he could feel the headache fading and his strength returning, however, they didn’t stop even when his headache was completely gone. His tongue continued to explore her mouth, rememorizing its every corner, as she grabbed his hair and moaned into kiss. Their kiss was interrupted with the the loud doorbell ringing furiously. They jumped apart so suddenly that Mika almost fell out of Matthew’s lap.
“Woah! I got ya!” He held her tightly against his chest and for a moment they almost started kissing again, however, the person at the door was quiet persistent.
“I guess we should answer the door.”
“Y-yeah.” The doorbell rang again. “Alright, alright, we’re coming! Sheesh!” They got up and out of the kitchen to the main hall to answer the door. They opened the door to see the rest of the incubi brothers all of them wearing an expression of confusion and panic.
“W-what happened guys? Is everyone okay?” Mika asked, concerned. They never showed up unannounced like this before.
“We’re alright, miss, however, there is a situation.” James reassured her but he sounded some what out of breath like he had been running.
“What’s wrong?” Matthew looked at his brothers with an uncharacteristically serious face.
“Damien lost his mind reading abilities.”
Mika and Matthew instantly turned to look at each other, both of them shocked, then they turned to look at Damien who had an unreadable expression.
“And that’s not all.” he said and shoved his hands into his pockets. When he took them out one of his hands was filled with small plastic balls of various size and color and the other on had a throwing knife just like the ones Matthew used.
“Y-you, you have my abilities?” Mika and Matthew were both shocked beyond words. This can not have been a coincidence. Matthew shook his head and returned to his previous serious demeanor. “So you came here to see whether I had his abilities?” The brothers nodded. Matthew’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Well, I’m glad because we just realised that I could read Mika’s mind a few moments ago.”
James expression grew even more serious. “Just like I thought.”
“Like you thought?”
“Indeed. Our power don’t just change or disappear on their own. While we can’t really exchange them either it make more sense then Damien’s powers just changing out of nowhere. Something or someone must have caused this.”
“Any idea what that something might be?” San asked his elder brother. It was weird to see Sam showing concern for Matthew even though she knew he loved his brother.
“I was about to ask the same thing to Matthew and Damien. Maybe you two did something that angered the wrong person. This isn’t something that just anybody would be able to do.” He looked at Matthew and Damien. Both of fell silent for moment just looking at each other.
‘I can’t think of anything.’
Matthew heard Damien say but then realised he hadn’t really said it but he was looking right at him so it must have deliberate. Matthew nodded. He couldn’t think of anything either. Then Damien’s eyes widened.
‘Oh!’
Matthew raised an eyebrow.
‘Do you remember a few weeks ago after the Christmas dinner we were sitting in the backyard?’
He nodded Damien to continue, unable to make the connection.
‘Remember the conversation we had.’
Matthew thought back to that night. He remembered finding Damien sitting alone in the backyard and joining him. They watched the stars together. Then he remembered their conversation.
“Could that be it?” Matthew exclaimed making everyone but Damien jump.
“Do you mind enlightening us brother? Not all of us can read minds.” Erik said. ”After that Christmas party a few weeks ago Damien and I had a conversation about how nice it would be if we could exchange our abilities. Like I told him I’ve always wondered what it would be like to read minds and he said he would always prefer my abilities to his.” Matthew explained.
“And this is relevant how?”
“Maybe someone heard us.” Damien suggested.
“Maybe someone did but that still doesn’t explain how this happened.” James stated. Matthew opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted.
“Umm, can we take this inside, guys? It’s kinda freezing out here.” Mika asked quickly.
“Of course, miss.” The boys got inside and all of them quickly made their way to the dining room. Once all of them were seated James gestured Matthew to continue.
“So I was saying Damien said someone might have heard us and I think that someone might be a muse or something maybe? You know like the one that connected us to Harold Anderson in the first place.”
“A muse like that would certainly be capable of doing something like this but… why?” James asked to no one specific.
“The reason why that other muse connected us to Harold Anderson and unleashed Diana onto us because she wanted to create a love story. For the lolz.” Sam answered him, irritation obvious in his voice. “Seriously do these things get off from fucking with us or something?”
James raised his eyebrow at his brother’s language but didn’t comment on it. “That’s possible, I suppose. Muses are impulsive creatures. One might have happened to hear you and decided to grant your wish when they were bored. The real question now is how to reverse it.”
For a moment Matthew thought he heard Damien panicking at the idea of getting his abilities back but it was gone in the next second. As if he felt his eyes on him Damien turned to look at Matthew.
'Don’t worry I’m fine. It’s for the best.’
Matthew nodded with hint of sadness. He knew how much Damien disliked being able to read minds. He thought maybe it would be better if he kept the abilities. So that his brother could’ve been happy.
'My, my, such a selfless boy.’
Matthew’s head shot up, looking for the source of the voice. He turned to look at Mika, who was thinking about researching magic that would help them, and then realised that the voice didn’t belong to her despite being obviously female. It didn’t belong to any one he knew. Then he heard the voice laugh.
'You do not know me, boy, but I know you.’
'What? Who are you?’
'I have been watching you and your brothers.’
'That’s kinda creepy.’
The voiced laughed again. 'It was the fault of one of my kind that you, your wife and your brothers went through so much. Because of her foolish desire to create a perfect love story of her own. I felt ashamed for her actions and ever since I’ve been watching you for an opportunity to make up for her mistakes.’
‘Are you a muse?’
‘Of sorts.’
'Aaand you thought this would be it?’
'Precisely.’
Matthew almost sighed out loud but them remembered the other probably weren’t hearing this conversation and they weren’t aware of anything either.
'Okay, ummm… I am grateful for what you’re trying to do here but I don’t think this is best way to it.’
'And why not? Is this not something that you wanted?’
'I-it is but not really! I mean when said I wanted to read minds I said it because I didn’t think it would actually happen! And I didn’t want this to be permanent either. I simply wanted to know what it would be like.’ He tried his best to explain without sounding like a total jerk.
'And now that you know do you want to go back to the way it was?’ The voice questioned like she didn’t believe him.
'I-I don’t know. I liked my own abilities even though they might come a bit ridiculous at times and I know reading minds can be a real pain in the neck from seeing Damien deal with it every time.“
'But?’
'But I can see that Damien is… a lot happier like this.’ He turned to look at his younger brother. 'He tries to hide it probably because he doesn’t want me experience the same things he did but I can see, I can hear, that he definitely doesn’t want this to change. If it’ll make him happy, I’ll gladly keep these abilities.’
'Ah! Again with the selflessness! Hmmm, I see…’ The voice was quiet for a few moments and when it spoke again Matthew could almost hear the smile in it. 'How about this then?’
'Yes?’
'You are right. This may not be the best way to make it up to you and your brothers for you would be, in a way, sacrificing yourself so while they would be happy for your little brother they would still be concerned for you. However, I came to realise that your brother only hates his powers because they have brought him so much suffering and they have brought him so much suffering because he can not control them. So what I propose is this: I give you and your brother your abilities back and I enable your brother turn off his abilities at will. He would never have to hear anyone’s thought unless he wanted to.’
'You can do that?’
'Yes.’ Matthew was left speechless. He couldn’t even imagine how amazing this would be for Damien. Never again would he have to hear anything that he didn’t want and mean to hear. His energy wouldn’t be wasted all the time because of it, too. ’T-that would be wonderful.’
'It is decided, then.’ At that moment a white almost blinding light appeared in the middle of the dining table. "What the fuck?” Matthew heard Sam yell but he couldn’t bring himself to take his eyes of the light as it slowly took the shape of a feminine figure. It looked ethereal. It didn’t have a face but Matthew could feel that it, that she, was looking at him. Then suddenly he felt something in his chest stir. He looked down to see a small black orb coming out of his body, floating in the air in front of him. “Aaaah!” He looked over to Damien and saw that a small blue orb was floating before him. The blue orb then rushed towards Matthew’s chest just the black rushed to Damien’s and went right inside. Everyone was utterly speechless as the ethereal figure slowly made her way to Damien. He looked terrified as she placed one of her hands to his forehead. A blinding light filled the room once again, forcing everyone to close their eyes. When they opened them again the figure was gone and everyone seemed extremely confused. “What… just happened?” James, as disoriented as everyone else, was the first to speak. After processing it for a few moments Matthew explained the conversation he had with the voice, which he figured belonged to the ethereal figure just now. “Holy shit!” was the only thing Sam could say after hearing all that. “You can say that again.” Erik agreed with his brother and so did Mika and James. Damien was the only one that remained quiet so far. He was looking at Matthew with a weird look on his face. Matthew simply smiled at his younger brother and suddenly Damien slammed into him, hugging him tightly. “What the?!” “Thank you.” He heard him whisper. His voice was wavering and Matthew could tell that he was about to cry so he wrapped his arms around the orange headed demon and whispered back. “Any time, brother.” He looked up to see the others smiling at him. Erik seemed really happy for both of them, Sam too but he was trying to look cool about it and Mika had tears in her eyes. But it wasn’t any of that that brought tears to Matthew’s own eyes. It was the look in James’s eyes. He looked proud. Then James joined their hug, pulling everyone including Sam into it. They stood like that in a huge group hug for what felt like hours. When they broke apart everyone had a smile on their face  and their eyes were glistening if not outright teary.
“Dude, don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to whatever that thing was for what it did for Damien but damn, if a muse or whatever interferes with our lives again, I’m gonna be so pissed.” Sam said in attempt to lighten the mood and it worked. Everyone was laughing. Even Damien. He was laughing like he has never before and they knew he was going to laugh like this a lot more often from now on…
