<Indigo>The orange peeled apart like it wanted to be taken and separated into the single portions that folded out over the surface of the small serving plate. Citrus scent filled the air beneath her nose while she ignored the faucet. Instead the tips of her fingers were wrapped loosely by the fullness of her lips. The sweet juices were swept away with the pull of one warm digit to allow another to take it’s place. The sound of bodies moved distracted her briefly but not enough that she lost the moment at hand. With a sweep of her hips against the hard surface of the counter she finally turned with plate in hand and made her way into the main room to see who was wandering about.

<Kaspar>The German rocker was slumped into his favourite chair, long legs draped over the arm of it casually. He had headphones on and a serious look on his face, his thumb swiping at something on his phone. Occasionally he made a frustrated noise, other times his lips quirked as if he might smile but it never quite formed full upon his lips. Utterly absorbed in his idle flicking he didn’t look up to acknowledge the woman, of course he was aware of her presence, he was always aware of the others that inhabited this little home. The fingers of his other hand drummed across his chest, the top he wore so loose fitting and draping around the chest that his chest tattoos were almost fully on display, the man very much in his own world.

<Indigo> Indigo nibbled on the slices as she moved towards the center of the room that was a favorite spot to sink into. The round pit was a step down for her then absolutely welcoming to the rest of her body as it settled over the plethora of red and black silk pillows. Stretching out her legs she wiggled a foot and until a pillow slid over the top. Her eyes finally set on the one gracing the corner like a king clearly comfortable upon his throne. His thoughts clearly had him elsewhere and she was not typically one to intrude. That was the beauty of The Hive as they named it. Several segments of Florida grown citrus found its demise in her mouth before she surrendered the plate to the grey carpeted floor behind her. Her body slid deeper leaving her foot to rise beneath the pillow and send it playfully his direction.

<Kaspar>He sat up as the pillow flew his direction, slapping it down over his lap before it was able to hit him in the face. “Good shot, Caramel.” He grunted, tugging his headphones off. “Did you want me? I’m sorry, I was just looking at some pictures.” He wiggled his dented phone in her direction, as if making a point. “You want to see something fun?” Kaspar turned one of his more charming, lazy smiles on her, the one that he used when he wasn’t performing for anyone which was a rare moment. He was a walking piece of art, most of his life had been captured on film starting from a very young age. People trying to capture images of Nik Cherry being a family man, with his kids and wife. He didn’t mind really, not anymore.


<Indigo> She wiggled her brows and lifted up a little pulling the pillows that slid over her body and tossed them to the side. She patted the one closest to her left and found that the cue to come to her would be lost as he seemed so content right where he was sprawled. She gave in to the invite he offered both verbally and otherwise by climbing out of the pool of silk to make her way slowly towards him. When his body stayed just as it was positioned she worked hers in to sit on the small open space at the edge of the white chaise by his ankles.

“Yes.” She eyed the phone in his hands and was more than curious while she leaned over the one leg still stretched out and balanced the minimal weight of her body on her elbow. “Do share.” Her fingers pulled and straightened the material over his lower leg.

<Kaspar> His eyes rolled, exasperated as she decided to settle beside him. “Really?” Kaspar reached out to wrap the woman’s smaller frame into his arms, settling one foot on the ground to allow more space in his lap. He tugged Indigo between his legs, letting her back rest against his chest, arm wrapping comfortably around her middle to keep her securely in place. “Besser ja, meine schöne?” He nudged a kiss to the top of her head, resting his chin against those fluffy curls that seemed to echo the wilder side of her personality. He lifted the phone once more in front of them, unplugging the headphones so the sound would be heard by them both. “Ok, I was just looking for something, and… I’ll show you some old photos, you want to see? Maybe a video? Laugh at little Kaspar.”

<Indigo> Her body was about as resistive as a cat basking in the glow of its well worshipped sun. Her long limbs and curves were easily tucked between his legs and she slid back and stretched an arm to curl her hand behind his neck. A slight turn of her face and she brushed a kiss across his lips. “Ja.” Her German was limited to a few words and she offered up one in agreement. She returned her attention to the phone in his hands while her long bronze fingers toyed lightly with his hair at the nape of his neck.

<Kaspar> Approval given he flicked quickly through photos, not hovering too long on any but if she was watching she closely she may have seen glimpses of the multitude of images, enough only to stir curiosity. The one he was looking for became evident when he paused, giving her a gentle squeeze around the middle. He cringed as he stared at the image, moving his head so that he could rest his cheek to her own. Baby Kaspar,modelling with his brother… The worst, yes?” His laughter was soft against her ear, “I mean seriously. The WORST. There are a lot like this, I hate to admit.” His thumb swiped, Kaspar showing her a series of different images, his hair darker and face soft with youth. Eventually the face in the pictures begin to harden, to grow more defined. His hair naturally lightened throughout the years and although he was still young in the image he paused on it was clearly years ago. “UGH, oh why? Look at my hair, and the outfit. Remind me not to ever let people try to style me again, hm, Indigo?” Again that soft huff of laughter, as much as he complained he was amused.


<Indigo>An instant grin moved across her lips as she watched his thumb move over the screen. The mere mention of a baby Kaspar has her eyes on the young version of the angel behind her. She giggled lightly seeing him in a pose with an uncanny likeness standing beside him. He was a twin. It was something she wouldn’t have expected yet the proof was right there in front of her. An image of such anyways. “As if you could be anything but an original…” She brushed her cheek against his while keeping her eyes on the screen of the cell phone. ”Are you close? And stop with the hair.I love your hair.” The movements of her fingers slowly twirling the strand she had possession of spoke volumes. She could see that he was not exactly comfortable in that outfit though. He looked ready for some prep school and clearly the rockstar was being ignored beneath. Wardrobe sometimes was everything.


<Kaspar>He hovered briefly over images of a smiling family, some of the smiles looked more forced than others. Kaspar’s hand lifted from her stomach, pointing at each one in turn. “Niklaus Kirsch, the Father.” A man with a shock of shorter blonde hair, with strong similarities to Kaspar as he was now and sporting stylish rock star stubble. His arm was around an elegant, tall woman who was laughing and staring at her husband. “Karolina Grube, my Mama.” His smile was more relaxed as he pointed her out. There was an older girl standing in front of his parents, leaning forwards and doing a very Spice Girls style girl power peace sign pose. “Katarina Grube… Kat, she usually goes by Kat, or Kit. Her band is Kitty and the Kicks, pop rock at it’s finest.” His eyes rolled, pulling a very little brother style face. His fingertip pointed again, two boys were standing beside their mother, arms around each other. Kaspar slightly taller and leaner had his arm around his brother’s neck, cheek nuzzled to blonde head. Klaus’s arm draped around Kaspar’s waist and he was looking at him with a sort of exasperated smile as if he was used to being dragged around. “That’s Klaus, he’s my twin brother. I’m older by about a minute, and taller by a few centimetres. He’s quieter than me, prefers life out of the limelight but he was still in bands!” He said this triumphantly, obviously it had taken some convincing and Kas had been up to the task. “This is the Kirsch Grube clan, I was thirteen here.” He clicked his tongue, head rolling away while he let her study the picture.

Indigo eyes took in the images of Kaspar with his family which offered a deeper glimpse as to where he got his blonde hair, the shape of his lips and the way his smile lit up a room. The beauty of the man was discovered to be a culmination of both his parents. Niklaus the god of music she had to make a point to immerse herself into. Like an explorer searching for an understanding of what Kaspar was about. Surely there would be clues in what was written, recorded and played. Like a musical map that would take time, which she had, to sort through to find more pieces of him beyond the images in front of her. The two blondes created perfection and now as Kasper pointed out it spilled over into a female who he certainly had pride in showing off.

“She is beautiful, so much like your parents and you.” It was not as simple as her words sounded. The family was stunning, features strong, dominant and striking but enough blonde in the mix to glow. The talent for being center stage and setting the world on its ear with music was in his blood. “You are the louder of the two…” She winked up at him, shifting her hand to slide down his neck and rest there. [color]“He looks devilish and charming. You know what they say about the quiet ones.”[/color]

Indigo fixed her eyes on a thirteen year old Kaspar and realized that he truly had a life before he arrived into her own. Kaspar, Adley and Jameson just seemed immortal. As if they were just as they are at the moment she met them without a beginning or hints of a possible end.

“Was it fun growing up the son of rockstar? Your mother steals the focus. So beautiful.”

His head nuzzled somewhat into the hand that reached for him, enjoying the warmth of her palm striking down against his neck, holding there. “Hm? You want to replace me with Klaus, then? I’ll tell him that, might make his next visit sooner. He is handsome, and while is perhaps quieter, more reserved he is a bit of a devil. You can’t really be utterly withdrawn and be a Grube, you know? He just prefers to be less in the spotlight, he refuses to travel with our Vater much and when he does often walks out of airports separately or takes a different car. Smart man, I say. Actually, smart is right, he’s very intelligent and loves to stick his face in books.” His face lit up with another grin, genuine, “We used to climb up this tree that had big branches and would lean on one each, opposite each reading for hours. Mama would fret about it, tell us to get our scrawny butts down and Vater would just laugh, tap her on the backside and say “Boys, huh?” Like that would soothe her worries.”

He flicked away from the image of his family, to one of his father that was more rock, and less raw. “She is beautiful, and she’s very gentle. She does a good job of putting up with us all.” The son of a rock star, he sighed at Indigo, moving on to a picture that she’d already seen around the house. Kaspar and Nik smiling together at an after party at a premiere or awards event. “Fun? I suppose it was sometimes, sure, but you said it. Son of a rock star… That’s who I was, Nik Cherry’s son. Everything I did I had the cloud of his success on me, but I don’t need it. I’m more than his son, we’re all more than his children. Kit enjoys it, she uses it to her benefit and to further her career but I would rather do things on my own. Klaus doesn’t want any of it.” He shrugged, moving on again, a more recent picture one of him and a woman kissing was next.

Indigo couldn’t blame the brother for bailing. It was something to be comfortable in the spotlight but with the family all as successful as it was she imagined that people were always in the wings waiting to invade them and infringe on their space. It was not something she had to deal with and was grateful for that. Some wanted to be a star but she was more than fine seeing the side of Kaspar that he was offering now. The openness, the parts of what his life had been and what perhaps his dreams were for what it will likely become. She had no doubts about him reaching his goals. He was on his way and he had the genes for stardom in his favor.

“I get why he would feel like that. It must be annoying getting discovered in public and swarmed for autographs, attention from strangers that is beyond the second look. Fans can be so imposing which I am sure you know all too well. I would be heading in a different direction too.” She chuckled.

The images shifted and now there was one that caught her attention enough that her laughter was paused. Her hand reached forward and her fingers moved together over the screen and spread apart slowly. As the image of him kissing a woman expanded so did her curiosity.

“Is this your wife?” Indigo glanced at him then back down as her fingers pulled away.

He was ready to move on, though her hand over his right stopped him, hovering above the screen. “Ah…” Kaspar’s left hand drummed fingertips against her abdomen, lifting his ring finger and taking a brief glance at the hammered white gold ring that adorned his finger, simpler and more delicate than his normal choice in rings. “Mm.” He grunted briefly, thumb swiping impatiently. Next image, in the same series, him licking the tip of her nose the pair of them caught in a moment. “Will’s mother.” He seemed unsure whether to offer more, whether she wanted to hear more and it wasn’t a topic he discussed with many, his quiet moments with the two of them were at odds with his rocker lifestyle and public face. At heart he treasured family, romantic love be damned, family caring was far preferred by Kaspar Grube. He often made that pretty clear straight away, and while he gave affection he struggled to give “love”.

The man took people on responsibility when he considered them one of his own, family or close enough to share in the more secretive aspects of his daily life. “I thought I could love her, you know? I mean, I do, as much as I can but it’s not the same is it? At the end of the day, i’m not ashamed to say I love myself more. She understands that and we are partners in raising our son. I get to go home and tell her about what i’ve been up to, and she adores me regardless of whatever mess it is i’ve gotten in.” He scoffed, “Her words!” As if that was a defense, though he didn’t feel he needed to defend himself, he lived his life right for him. “You’d probably like her, actually, I can see you two sitting together having coffee and cooing about baby things, or perhaps you could talk to her about something else. Anything.” An abrupt burst of laughter cut off his words, Hel sinking back into the chair, leaning his head over the end of it as a memory distracted his story.

The ring was not without her notice from the very beginning. Rings were easily worn for various reasons and removed just as conveniently. She was not one to guess on the symbolism it had or if there were vows attached to it. The affection captured in the image was not hard to appreciate. The woman had a cute nose and the tenderness in the placement of his tongue said what he did not. As he shed light on the dynamics of their relationship she felt a warmth for the words that could be taken as cold, distant to some who believed in monogamy, sacrifice of self or forsaking all others until death do they part. All of that was a negative in Indigo’s mind that screamed for a life preserver to save someone from being drowned slowly by the other.

It was the honesty that rang through, the reality of what was possible between the two who shared a beautiful child and what was not. Kaspar was giving more than most ever got from another, truth and a clear measure of what to expect from him. The fact that the woman was understanding and accepting of that made her more desirable, intriguing far more than the images that favored her in a far different light. Another soul that was able to grasp what she herself practiced. The world for what it was and not in a battle she would never win to make it what she wanted it to be. His mention of the two of them getting along was absorbed as her head shifted so that the bulk of her curls were left behind so she could feel his face next to hers.

“I am sure we would. I hope they would feel welcome here, with you, me, Jay and Adley. If you would share them with us that is. You should know by now they would be as safe and belong as much as you do.”

He sobered up somewhat as Indigo spoke of them being welcome, and he tried to imagine them in the house with Jameson and Adley too. “That might be odd… I don’t know how the others would take it, I mean they would love her or how she had been. She is very relaxed, very open and amusing but she also has more weight on her shoulders now. I try to make it easier, but he was only born in November, like his Daddy. I enjoy spending time with my son and because of my lifestyle being around to do the nightly feedings so she gets her sleep has worked out well. Eventually he’ll sleep through the night, and part of me dreads it you know? I like being there at 3 a.m. to take him from the cot, he is so sleepy and he rests in my arms while he has his bottle. After i’ll sit in the rocking chair we have in there and he lays on my chest, with my hand like…”

He adjusted the woman against him, cradling her close and pressing his large hand against the back of her head, urging her face with gentle guidance into the crook of his neck. “Like this. Then I put him down and sing him his lullaby. It’s relaxing.” It was then he recalled what had made him laugh, distracting and of course it had to do with Jameson, the man managed to knock Kaspar off task often. “Jamie found out about her, you know, on our first night? When we met? She called me, when we were, uh… Well you see Jay was sitting over me, we were naked and he… He has no shame, or patience.” Kaspar dropped a kiss to her head, his breath stirring her curls when he chuckled. “Geez, she just laughed ok? She laughed, she said you shower when you get home and here I am trying not to moan or make some other awful noise while Jamie. Actually, I still have to kick his *** for that one. I had to answer, the ringtone is Will’s lullaby and I won’t miss those calls. You’ve heard it before, yes?”

Indigo was brought into the fold of his embrace and imagined how his son felt so warm, smelling so sweet against Kaspar’s neck and chest. Her body relaxed drawing on the softness of his expression while providing detail as to how he went about the routine of time with his son. As soon as he described the antics of he and Jay’s steamy moment she giggled and turned her face to press against his skin. Hot it was in her mind but amusing as well. Surely the expression she imagined on Kaspar;s face, that she knew so well, was present. Ah yes, the lullaby was all that was missing in the perfect contact she had with him. It was unforgettable and now that he mentioned it filled her head.

“Yes, I have. It is precious. And you should never miss those calls...ever.” Her eyes found his as she pulled her head back and stroked a hand down his jaw and held his chin. ”He needs you as does she.” Her eyes stayed on him for a few quiet seconds. Finally she smiled softly and settled back in. ”What is the worst thing that has happened to you, Kaspar?” She was curious if it was always about bright lights and glamour in his life or was the angel wearing dents in his halo he had yet to divulge.

His mouth dipped to capture hers, a brief kiss, a reward for the sweet touch to his jaw and her interest in his life. It was that, or a distraction from her question, the worst thing to happen. What did he pick? What did he share? He could give her some half assed answer about missing a note during a gig, struggling to finish a song but that would be a lie and an obvious one. He wasn’t sure he was really prepared to offer her something too heavy, she felt warm and safe curled in his arms on the small space they shared. Hel wasn’t interested in sad looks, or pity parties but he figured he’d been this honest so far. “That’s a difficult question, Indigo. I’ve seen some ****, a lot of it should have been scarring or life changing or some crap. How many people have you heard share some little horror or other and claim it changed their lives? Set their path? Hm?” There was a touch of anger to his voice, not directed anger just a bristle of frustration. “You watch a girl fall off a roof at a party and snap her neck, you’re supposed to be traumatised, aren’t you? Probably. Should be worse when you’re only seventeen and definitely shouldn’t have been there in the first place but got dragged along by your father.” He shrugged, brushing that one aside. “Didn’t matter. She was drunk, she was a wreck of a human being and if that hadn’t happened the drugs would’ve got her or the alcohol. Who cares? Nik doesn’t care. I was taught it was better not to care.”

He paused to look at her, gauging her reaction as to whether he should stop speaking. “Indie… Ah, screw it. You want an answer, right, the point to all this…” Kaspar dropped his phone lightly onto the ground beside them, freeing both hands to embrace the woman in his arms. “I think the point is that the worst thing to happen to me happened a long time ago and it wasn’t some great awful event, or a particular moment that should be notable. I think it was the evening the photo was taken, the family photo. We were thirteen, and we were sitting together in the reading nook upstairs in my bedroom. I was stretched out and Klaus had pushed me over so he could sit with me, he put his back to mine and his head back on MY shoulder so he could look at me. Just stare, you know? He didn’t say anything when he came up, just shoved his way into my space and sat there. Quiet.” Kaspar’s blue eyes grew glassy, not really seeing her, seeing the image instead of the two boys, rounded and yet somehow gangly in their youth as teenage boys often were. Blonde heads nestled together one frowning at a book, the other studying his brothers face so close. “And it wasn’t unusual you know, if one of us isn’t feeling right we seek the other, like he’d sometimes grip the back of my jacket, or just touch my elbow. Little things, but like saying “i’m here”. Our whole family is pretty tactile, touch is important. Anyway, I had enough of it, his staring and I looked at him, like “What man” and he says to me, “They should have named YOU Klaus.” Kaspar stopped, his voice fading even as his lips stayed slightly parted, like more words were held on the tongue that he pressed to the roof of his mouth, clicking it impatiently.
