cimorene111: Mikey and Gerard's names are their real names, only Mikey gets called the Romanian translation because Romanians can't pronounce "Michael James". And I guess Gerard's is the French version of Arthur, so Artur? Mikey was born in England and Gerard was born in France... although it's not like vampires and werewolves get baptised like normal people... since they can't go in a church.

wax_jism: Yeah, you take the baby, and it's like, *sprinkling motion* holy water... AUUUGH.

Actually, as far as I know, Gerard is the French version of the Germanic name "Gerhard", a combination of the Old High German words "ger" = spear and either "harti" = hard, or "hard" = brave, bold.

No idea how they would pronounce it in Romanian, but since they have names like "Goran", I guess they'd just say "Gerad" or "Gerah", with a hard "g" at the beginning.

I could imagine werewolves and vampires (notorious for liking traditions) to keep up with the old custom of the father putting his child on a shield (or something equal to that) and announcing the child's name, therefore showing that he accepts it as his own...

Gerard does not live in Romania, nor associate much with peasants or humans, and does not need Romanian versions of his names for that reason. Mikey is the one who is a vampire overlord. Mikey and Gerard were both born overseas and far away from any vampires or werewolves, to cosmopolitan intelligentsia parents, and introduced to almost none of their people's historical traditions until they were much older.

Ahahahaha. You know that if the puppies ever ended up in a church, one of them would end up falling in the holy water somehow. And sneezing.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

Luckily it's fatal only to vampires!

[sinden.livejournal.com]

The puppies, like Gerard, WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Gerard gets all worried and won't let the puppies on Frank until they've had the holy water washed off, even though Frank keeps telling him it doesn't hurt werewolves, because he just doesn't want to take any chances!

[sinden.livejournal.com]

And Frank's still a bit punchy from lack of sleep because the runt of the litter has been sick and Frank's been worried but he's been making Gerard sleep.

So, he grabs one of the puppies and starts pretending that he's getting burned or something and Gerard starts getting freaked until Frank gets to the, "I'm melting! I'm melting!" part and Gerard realises he's been had. Then they wrestle and laugh and Gerard calls Frank names and they they kiss while the puppies scamper around them and everything is PERFECT for a little while.

Hahhahah but where are like, the priests...? Okay, but Gerard is totally a big lord so I guess the priests in his particular part of (Hungary? Poland? Bulgaria?) don't have a problem with werewolves. Werewolves aren't demons at least...

So Gerard is so relieved he could kiss the priest too, and they go home and he makes Frank go to bed and Frank's like "You know, I didn't even get enough water on me to make me sneeze, I'm not going to get sick," and Gerard's like "Don't move, and close your eyes, I'm going to draw you." "I need to have my eyes closed to be drawn?" "Yes, I want to draw you asleep."

The priest is probably an old family retainer or something. Knows the family, or perhaps it's actually one of the relatives who needed sanctuary and hid away in the church for protection.

Nawwwwww. And Gerard would probably just putter around for a while, pretending to get his things together, humming under his breath, hoping that it'll help Frank relax. Also, he's left the runt curled up in the crook of Frank's arm, and Frank has regular, measured puppy breaths against his neck adding to the comfort of the whole scene and just drops off to sleep, feeling the brushing of a kiss against his forehead and the waft of Gerard's scent just before he goes under.

N'awwwwww! And then he totally draws him sleeping, too. The runt is mostly done being sick by that time, but if he starts to cough Gerard picks him up so he won't wake Frank up and feeds him um, whatever you feed sick werewolves. Boiled rabbit?

[sinden.livejournal.com]

Maybe something all chewed up?

And once that's done and the runts settled again, Gerard tucks it under his chin and curls up on the other side of the bed, just watching Frank sleep. At times he would reach out to touch Frank, but then pause just before he made contact, not wanting to wake Frank up, but he'd just hover his hand for a moment before pulling back. Then he spreads his hand out on the blanket next to Frank's so that only the tip of one of their fingers is touching.

Of course, he'd end up drifting off as well, and while they're sleeping, they gravitate together until Gerard's curled into Frank's side with his head on Frank's shoulder. The runt is curled into the back of Gerard's knees.

Or stretched out between Gerard's hip and Frank's hip.

And wakes Gerard up by snuffling at his face, his ear, after climbing onto his shoulder, because it's hungry again and knows not to wake up Frank.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

"Daddy told you not to bite! Oh... shhhh."

[sinden.livejournal.com]

And he picks up the runt so he can look it in the eyes and it licks his nose and he's all, "naaaaw. okay, lets go get some food." As h climbs out of bed, Frank kind of growls and shifts in his sleep, but Gerard settles him with the brush of his hand over Frank's hair and a kiss on his cheek.

That would be a right shitty idea.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

Funny though.

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

That it would. And you just KNOW some vampire has been stupid enough to do that.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

I'm betting THAT led to a divorce.

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

One would hope so!!
