First Demonic Dragon

Lisa woke up at dawn.

Perhaps by habit, she went to the bathroom and sat on the edge of the tub while rubbing her eyes sleepily.

The whole reason why she had gotten out of bed in the first place was because she felt like something was missing, even in her sleep.

She just couldn't put her finger on what.

Lisa was the kind of woman who needed at least a modicum of caffeine in the morning before she was fully operational.

Without it, she had to sit in one place for a long time and let her body warm up like an old car in the winter time.

Finally, Lisa remembered that she fell asleep before Abaddon or Valerie came to bed, and her drowsiness was replaced with rage.

Cracking her knuckles silently, she stormed out of the bathroom and threw open the door to their bedroom.

As soon as she opened the door, she was hit by a wall of musky humidity that she was all too familiar with.

She instinctually covered her nostrils so that the pheromones would not replace her agitation with lust.

Unfortunately, some of the other girls who were sleeping probably got a whiff or two, so their dreams were going to be particularly… 'colorful' tonight.

Lisa wandered out into the hallway and gathered up the pheromones in the air as she walked through the hall.

Thankfully, they didn't seem to have gone near their daughter's room, so they wouldn't be in for an awkward morning at breakfast.

Lisa stepped into the living room and found the pair of missing lovers lying on the couch.

She could have been seeing things, but just for a second she could have sworn that the duo had a pink glittery aura around them.

Saying that Lisa felt jealous in addition to being annoyed just barely covered it.

The pair hadn't even noticed her arrival, which made it all the more satisfying when she grabbed them both by the horns and smashed their heads together.

-

"Do the two of you have anything to say for yourselves?"

Still naked, Abaddon and Valerie lowered their heads with a torrential amount of shame.

"We… just got caught up in a moment." Valerie admitted. "We should have been more careful."

Abaddon nodded along in silence.

"Anddd?" Lisa leaned forward. She hadn't herard them apologize for what she was truly upset about.

"W-We're also sorry for not doing backdoor stuff without everyone else..." Valerie blushed.

"No!"

"We should have come to bed. Forgive us." Abaddon said solemnly.

"Yea! That!" Valerie nodded.

Lisa knocked them both over the head again.

""Ow! Why!?"" The duo asked in unison. Matching knots were growing on the top of their heads already.

"Because you didn't seem sorry!" She pointed at Valerie. "And you took too long to remember!" She pinched Abaddon.

The almighty dragons hung their heads even lower.

Lisa couldn't put her finger on it, but there was something different about these two.

They weren't necessarily behaving out of the ordinary or anything like that, but she couldn't help but feel as if something behind them had changed.

Perhaps the sex was just better than average this night... damn, was she jealous.

Eventually, Lisa stood up in a huff and started walking towards the bedroom. "Both of you get in the shower and come to bed before I hit you again..."

Abaddon and Valerie glanced at each other and the two smirked like a pair of thieves.

"SEPERATELY!" Lisa yelled without looking back.

The duo clicked their teeth.

-

When morning came, Lisa's suspicions around Abaddon and Valerie became far more concrete.

It started with the little things at first. Like her insistence on sleeping next to him, or the way his eyes naturally seemed to wander towards her as she undressed.

But Lisa could have overlooked all of that, if what she was seeing in front of her right now wasn't so damning.

"Since when do you fix our husband's plates?"

Valerie paused briefly as she set a plate of breakfast down in front of Abaddon.

"Can't I just do something nice for him?" She asked innocently as she slid into his lap.

Everyone at the table paused and stared at Valerie like she'd grown a second head. Abaddon too.

"What happened to 'he's a grown man who has his own two legs?'" Tatiana raised a brow.

"Or, 'I'm a grown dragon, I don't need you to coddle me?" Erica stared at Abaddon.

The pair just shrugged.

Thrudd ate her oatmeal slowly while watching everything go down, a bit unsure of whether she should attempt to break the silence at all. She really wanted to tell someone about her phone call with Behemoth.

Lailah put down her fork and observed the duo more closely. "What exactly is going on with the two of you? You've been acting funny all morning."

Valerie scoffed without looking up. "Our husband consoled me when I needed it last night, and maybe that's why I feel a little bit more attached to him than usual, but it's not that far out of the ordinary."

"What are you doing on your phone?"

"I'm changing his name to 'TheAirThatIBreath&TheGroundBeneathMyFeet… Heart emoji, eggplant emoji, tongue emoji'." Valerie said this as if it were normal.

Abaddon looked genuinely touched. Most of the wives looked horrified.

Thrudd just pushed aside her bowl and put her head down.

"Out of curiosity, what's my name in your phone?" Bekka asked, seemingly unbothered by the morning's events.

"PussyPotPie." Valerie answered. "Tongue emoji, wet emoji."

Bekka stopped chewing for a moment before she nodded, seemingly satisfied.

The wives were still mildly horrified by the duo's sudden change of heart.

Valerie was a sweet woman, and no one here would ever say that she wasn't, but she was far from this soft or co-dependent.

And on the other hand, Abaddon usually only let Eris or Lisa do cheesy marital things for him because he had a hard time saying no when they offered.

They had been this way for billions of years now.

For them to suddenly change overnight was frankly a little scary.

So much so, that Lailah urged the emotional master of the group to do a little investigating.

Eris stood up and went over to the two of her lovers.

She placed her palms on their cheeks and closed her eyes.

The two were exhuming a fairly large amount of sexual energy, but that wasn't really anything out of the ordinary for them. Abaddon in particular was known to be rather full of vigor in the mornings.

So Eris began looking deeper. She investigated the tethers that kept them all married. Nothing was wrong with those per se, but there was something that was new.

"Are the two of you aware that you are sharing a divinity right now?"

Abaddon and Valerie looked at each other. ""First we're hearing of it.""

Erica was only growing more certain that her findings were correct.

If divinity was like an outlet that gave a deity their powers, then Valerie and Abaddon were both plugged into the same one at the same time.

It was as if their own respective divinities of sex had been smashed together like wads of play dough.

"What kind of sex did you two have last night?" Audrina accused.

"And why didn't you wake the rest of us up for it?" Tatiana folded her arms.

Thrudd just sunk lower and lower into her chair. Honestly, how had her innocence persevered this long when these were the people who had raised her?

"W-Who cares about any of that stuff!"

Lailah practically teleported from her seat and appeared in the lap of Valerie and Abaddon.

"I FINALLY have something new and interesting to study!" She squealed.

Lailah practically thrived on learning. Which was hard, because she was born knowing most everything.

She had taken to bullying other knowledge gods in games of wit. Her record is currently a menacing 1,239-0. Thoth and Athena have taken to avoiding her like the plague.

Sharing a divinity like this between gods was completely unheard of.

She would study every facet of this that was possible and maybe publish a paper on it for her mother to read!

"Shouldn't we be trying to figure out how to fix this first?" Lisa asked.

"All in due time, darling." Lailah asked as she pulled out a fresh notebook and pen. "Let me savor this a bit, would you?" She winked.

Lisa gulped audibly. Her cheeks slowly turned hot. Lailah was so unfairly pretty.

Thrudd finally stood up with her bowl in hand and a broken expression.

"I think I'm just going to go eat in my room."

-

Outside, Abaddon and his family almost ran smack into the approaching Fiona.

She nearly had to do a double take and wipe down her foggy glasses as she came face to face with a shirtless, messy haired Abaddon.

"Ah. It's the first little Nagumo." He smiled. "Morning."

Fiona was sure she had two heartbeats at that moment. "Uh…"

"Stay away from him." Thrudd wrapped her arm around her friend and shielded her eyes from harm. "He's kind of supercharged this morning."

Thrudd also did not miss the heated glares that her mothers were giving this human girl who hadn't even hit 30. If they had their way, she probably wouldn't live to reach it either.

"…Trust me, it's for your own good."

"R-Right.." Fiona didn't even bother to fight this turn of events and simply let Thrudd guide her around. "Well, we've got our scans of the planet back and we've found a few areas that stood out to us if you all wanted to come take a look?"

"That's very courteous of you, shrimp-stack." Thrudd teased. "I believe we'll take you up on that."

"Who're you calling shrimp? You dragons are just too damn big. Besides, I know more about being an adult than you do, virg-"

"OH, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME, WE BETTER GET GOING!"

Thrudd tossed Fiona over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and sprinted towards their temporary base.

Needless to say, her parents were pleasantly surprised even though they had no idea what was going on.

"Since when does peanut make friendly banter with someone?" Seras tilted her head.

Abaddon was about to tell them about how Thrudd and Fiona started talking when he felt his phone vibrate.

Checking the message, he raised a brow in surprise when he found out that it was a message from one of his sons.

His SONS.

He couldn't believe it.

The boys never texted him.

Ever.

They said the gifs he sent were too cringe to make the effort worth the trouble.

His immediate fear was that they had burned the house down somehow.

However, as he actually read the message, his fear was instantly replaced with a sweet relief.

Straga: Hey pops. A few of us are bored at home, so do you think we could pop up there with you?
