When Luna turned to face Sylva, he whistled in approval at what he saw. Sylva was well muscled but not overly so and well endowed as well nearly matching Luna's own in length and girth. Both Sylva and Luna made it a point to not stare at each others crotches but it was kinda hard (pun intended) since both were horny after all the wine. Luna walked forward "May I feel you up?" Luna asked, Sylva replied "Only if I may do the same to you."

Luna nodded and soon hands were roaming chests and arms and butts as they explored each other sensually. Luna stepped back aways only to run and jump into the pond. He surfaced, shaking water off his head and face and found that Sylva was in the water and looking at him with a mischievous grin and before Luna could ask what was up, he got splashed in the face. Luna waited three seconds before retaliating with his own splash. They continued in this way for quite a while, laughing and splashing till Luna hugged Sylva, and while laughing said " Ha ha ha! God I lo-eh you're goofy!" Luna quickly covered up. While half of what he felt for Sylva was love, A. it was too early to voice that and B. The other half was the wine talking. Sylva put two and two together and figured it out. Sylva stared at Luna as the other looked away.

This only confirmed Sylva's realization and he pulled Luna closer and just held him. They were quiet for a long time, just holding each other and listening to the night. When Luna couldn't take the silence any more he gently broke the hold, swam away a bit then cleared his throat. "Did you know you get several 'first' kisses?" he asked as he swished the water around him. Sylva stared at him like he was crazy and had grown three heads but was thankful for the distraction. "Huh?" Sylva replied, "Yeah, you get a first girl kiss, boy kiss, passionate kiss, lust kiss and a romantic kiss, like in the movies and TV and books." Luna explained still not looking up at Sylva, afraid he'd messed things up by almost confessing how he'd felt and feeling like he'd ruin any real chance he had with the Operator.

"Huh, I didn't know that. Well we've certainly shared all but one of those 'first' kisses." He said smiling softly and when Luna remained silent Sylva swam over and gently tilted his head up."What the matter love?" Sylva asked, Luna took a shuttering breath and a few tears fell when he blinked, now Sylva was worried." I-I just feel like I might be close to ruining things between us because I almost confessed and while it's true, it's just the alcohol talking and it's to early to say that and this is how I get when I drink, really fucking emotional! To add the cherry on fucking top, I'm horny as shit but this is a first date and as dating rules state, you fuck on or after the third or fourth date! This is why I shouldn't drink but I wanted to have a nice dinner and I know I'm acting like a female-" he continued to rant and Sylva just brought him closer and let him.

"I feel the same way too!"Sylva said when Luna paused to breathe. Luna stopped and studied the other and Sylva nodded to an unasked question and smiled brightly. Luna sighed deeply in relief. "You are right though. It's too early to say it and while I'd love nothing more then to pound you into the shore~"-Here he winked-"I'm not actually in the mood for that. So, my apologies to your horny self."Sylva laughed then kissed Luna's forehead, Luna just hugged him and giggled till he was full on laughing. "Sorry for the rant and for worrying for nothing. I feel stupid now." Luna said kissing Sylva on the cheek. "You're not stupid. You're just normal and what you felt before was normal too. Hell, I kept worrying that I'd be the one to nearly say it! I do really like you though, enough so that I'm starting to wish you actually lived in the Hastings house so I could see you more often." Sylva confessed.

" Yeah, I wish I could too. It's the damn distance though. I make good money as a nurse but the cost of gas for my truck, plus the estimated cost of keeping the house running... though I guess I could just buy the property. I'll look into it to see if they'll let me." Luna said smiling, Sylva smiled back " You know it's not too late for that romantic kiss." Sylva said as Luna looked down and ran his fingers over the others chest. "Heh, maybe." Luna said still beating himself up about ranting when he's supposed to be having a good time. "You're making it a bit difficult though" Sylva said kindly " What's that?" Luna asked still not looking up. "This." said Sylva as he tilted Luna's head up and pressed a gentle, loving, and quite romantic kiss on Luna's lips. Luna was stunned, though only for a second as his eyes closed and he wrapped his arms around Sylva's neck. 'Yeah', Luna thought 'This one is definitely romantic.' Luna sighed softly into the kiss, his tail wagging and swishing in the water.

Luna's ears twitched and swiveled and he pulled away with a sigh of annoyance. "I think I broke your curfew. Splendorman is headed this way." Luna said exasperated, Sylva groaned as he heard the grass and corn stalks swish and sway with the movement as well as feel his brothers particular magic. "Good grief! I wish Spencer would chill the fuck out! It's not like you're going to take me away and force yourself on me.Shit!!!" Sylva cursed as he realized what he'd implied and looked worriedly at Luna but the shifter was calm and gave him a quick kiss. " I'm alright, really. I promise, you've done nothing wrong. Although, you really shouldn't have told me Splendor's name. I'm going to giggle now every time I think about it." Luna said, already giggling. He then had a devious thought " Can you fake a moan?" He asked and Sylva blushed but nodded then smirked " Oooh~ Luna~" He moaned and it was so convincing that Luna blushed this time" Fuck~ Slendy~ You're so big! Ugh~" Luna moaned while clinging to Sylva though he was careful not to use his true name.

The footsteps stopped for a second then picked up the pace. Both Luna and Slenderman were close to busting up laughing but faked a few more moans before sharing a quick kiss and moving away from each other just as Splendorman stepped out of the long grass, he was pissed and his 'happy' mask was glaring and several tendrils were out and wiggling. "Hey bro. 'sup?" Slenderman said as he looked calmly at his brother. "It's 1:15 a.m, time to come home. NOW." He said with barely contained rage. "you know"-Luna said as he got out of the water- "Watches, and phones don't exactly work when Slenderman's near so that's not my fault or his. Chill." Luna told him as he got on all fours to shake the water off of him. This gave Slenderman a great view of Luna's crotch especially since his tail was up. If this was an anime Slenderman probably would have died from blood loss due to a  combination of a nosebleed and drowning.

Since it's not, he just popped a boner and his face was as red as a tomato. Splendorman did back up so Luna could shake then came back as Luna sat in the dirt like a dog. "He's right Splendor. It's not like I can turn that ability off. Plus, time flies when you spend it with someone you"-Here he hesitated then went for it-"love." Luna's tail wagged happily as he stared lovingly at Slenderman who returned the stare. If Splendorman's mask had a working jaw it probably wold be on the floor. Luna stood as Slenderman walked onto the shore and they shared several kisses as if Splendorman wasn't even there. After a few moments Luna pulled back with a sad sigh and snapped his fingers and their clothing appeared on their bodies suit jackets, tie and all. Luna bent and picked up the space rock and gave it back to Slenderman. " I can leave the extra food with you if you like? See if it's up to Tender's standards." Luna said, he'd found out that Tenderman did most of the cooking. "Alright. Thank you for tonight. It was really fun and amazing and I can't wait for next time!" Slenderman said, taking Luna's hands and kissing the tops. " I'm glad you had fun. Maybe next time we can go on a date in the city instead." Luna replied and Splendorman lost some of his anger at hearing that they had their date on the Hastings property instead of the city. "Well see. Come along Slendy." Splendorman said, turning on his heel and walking back.

Slenderman and Luna followed holding hands. " He acts more like your mother than your sibling. I know that's mean and I'm sorry, it's just what it feels like." Luna said, Slenderman sighed. "You're fine love. He acts that way because he was closest to our mum and wanted to be like her. Strong, intelligent, kind, brave and fierce." Slenderman said sadly. "What happened? If you don't mind me asking." Luna asked, squeezing the others hand. Slenderman told Luna that when he was 5 and his brothers were 7, 8, 9, and 10 with Splendor being the oldest, they had lived in Europe and several other places. They were happy then their father got into an argument with another supernatural creature who then threatened to beat and kill his wife and children. When he couldn't win the fight, the couple gathered their magic together and moved the mansion to where it was now. This nearly killed them both. They recovered eventually and put a protective spell over the house and anyone who lived there or would come to live there would be protected.

They taught the protective spell to their kids and they were safe for awhile then the creature showed up one day to finish what was started. The fighting lasted for three days straight then when the couple thought they'd won, the creature pulled a surprise attack and killed them both but couldn't get to the kids because of the spell. Slenderman told this to Luna just as the mansion came into view. "Splendor went to check first and when he came back it was like a switch had been flipped and he became our 'mother and father' both. He buried them by himself. Wouldn't let us...H-help." Slenderman said as his voice cracked from emotion. Luna pulled him into a hug and held him tight, Luna felt Slenderman's tears against his skin and his own tears fell in sympathy. They stood like that, holding each other and calming each other down. " I'm so sorry. I wish I could change the-" here Luna stopped speaking as he noticed two floating almost invisible creatures behind Slenderman.

One was clearly male while the other looked to be female and moved to reach out to Slenderman and put it's hand on Slenderman's back. Slenderman noticed the silence and looked at Luna then followed his line of sight. "What do you see love?" Slenderman asked as he rubbed his eyes. Splendorman sighed, annoyed at the hold up. Luna continued to watch the ghosts as a memory of a spell his mother taught him came to the surface of his mind and without saying a word, he made the feathery black spotted wings appear then took a feather from each wing and stuck them in his mouth. Once he pulled them out, he went and gave one feather to each ghost and almost instantly the two ghosts were corporeal. The man was the siblings father as he looked just like his sons but was dressed in a suit like Slenderman. The other was their mother and to Luna's eyes, she was just as pretty if not more so than Marilyn Monroe. Both had white hair while the male had golden hazel eyes with flecks of green and the female had bright sea f foam green eyes.

The four looked at each other then Slenderman looked at Luna who had gone pale and was shivering, he then began coughing hard enough to spit up dark red almost black blood. Slenderman caught him before he fell. "H-How the fuck is this possible!? What the fucking hell did you do?!?!" yelled Splendorman. It took Luna a few cough and wheeze filled moments before he answered "It's -cough- a deep magic my kind-wheeze, cough, spit- posses, that can make ghosts and ghouls corporeal and rational. It nearly ends the Shifters life permanently to do so and only -wheeze-those who are two thousand years old or older will survive it. I'm two thousand and ten years old. I'll-I'll -coughs up a large amount of blood- survive. This lasts for only two hours though. If I was a little older it would last a whole twenty-four hours." Luna explained "Why? Why almost kill yourself to-to"Slenderman could barely speak through the tears and tightness in his throat. Luna was about to pass out but he pulled himself up and though his legs were shaking, he smiled brightly and wiped Slenderman's tears away. " because you all should have been able to say good-bye. Plus, I wouldn't do this for just anyone. When you love someone, you want to see them smile more then they cry." he said, with his last bit of consciousness he kissed Slenderman then passed out in his arms.

Slenderman held him close then turned to his brother, "Don't just stand there like a log! Get Tavi, Tanner, and Trevor! Don't waste this gift!!!" Slenderman yelled and Splendor ran into the house calling for the others. While that happened, the mother walked over and hugged her youngest tightly and told him things that no one else knew to prove who she was. Sylva switched to holding Luna with his tendrils so he could hug his mother. The father waited patiently but got to comfort his son as well. The other four ran out of the house and after proof was given, the rest of the time was spent catching up, with lots of hugs and cuddles and with a scolding for Splendor for treating Luna so harshly, Slenderman continued to hold Luna in his arms and watched over him worriedly. He was torn between wanting to stay and say good-bye to his parents and taking Luna into the house to properly rest. Their mother told Sylva to take him into the house and so, with a teary good-bye, Sylva left the little group and brought Luna to his room and laid him on the bed after removing his suit jacket and untucking his shirt, the shifter hadn't stirred but was still breathing though it wheezed when he did so. When the time was up the other four brothers said good-bye and their parents said they would continue to watch over them and the house. When the magic was spent they returned to ghosts and the feathers burnt up till they were nothing but ash. The four bothers gathered in the meeting room to discuss what had happened and what to do next.
