A/N: Hoopla everyone! Look who's here with a new story (Even though I really should be working on my other stories)! This story is a little idea I got out of nowhere really one day….okay you caught me I may have been half watching an episode of 'The Nanny' while writing for my other stories call 'Kissing Cousins', if you aren't familiar with the show or just the episode it's an episode where Fran falls in love with a rich doctor she meets at a wedding and finds out he is her cousin. Okay so maybe the idea isn't completely my own but I still think it could be an interesting idea to play out. Other things I cannot take full credit for are the name of this story and the song used in the description, the name actually came from the clever mind of RoseTintsMyWorld97 (thanks for the help!) and the description song lyrics are from Frank Sinatra's 1966 album and title song "Strangers in the Night" and we all know I don't own Rocky Horror. Now enough rambling let's open the cover and turn to the first page shall we? Please enjoy!
-One-
Far away in a galaxy known by few and visited by none there was a planet named Transexual that was covered by white beaches and a glimmering violet ocean. Unlike the planet known as Earth this planet never saw the sun but instead had two moons that lit it day and night, a soft white moon that bathed the shores and homes and buildings in shimmering silvery rays by day and a pale blue moon which cast a calming and soothing darkness over everything and everyone by night. It was during the time when the pale blue moon was at its highest that along one beach everything was still and quiet as people in houses slept or readied for work, however in one house things were anything but quiet.
Inside the house's kitchen a man and a woman stood facing each other, the woman was petite in size with fair skin, grass green eyes, full pink lips painted red and blonde hair that hung over her shoulders straight as and an arrow. The man on the other hand was tall and very lean with pale skin, dark blue eyes and black hair that was cut short and almost shaggily. The pair were leering at each other and taking turns screaming insults and accusations as loud as they could with no consent for anyone else that could hear.
"How dare you accuse me of cheating on you! Maybe if you were home more often you wouldn't have these ridiculous thoughts Onyx! How the hell do I know YOU haven't been cheating!"
The man, Onyx, narrowed his eyes leaning on the counter between them.
"How can you accuse me of being the one cheating Alice?! I'm gone so often because I'm working to make the money that keeps this damn roof over your head and puts food in the fridge to feed us and our son!"
The woman, Alice, growled pointing her finger into her husband's chest.
"How do I know you haven't been screwing around with any of the bimbos that walk around that palace in those domestic uniforms?!"
Onyx swatted her hand away pointing at her stomach.
"How do I know that thing is mine and not some man whore you picked up after one of the palace parties?!"
Alice's face turned red with anger as she started screaming insults and names at him. As the argument raged on in the kitchen upstairs in a room bathed in the soft glow of the moon a little boy no more than two with hair like blonde cornsilk and eyes that were sapphire blue sat in his bed clutching his blanket close as he stared at the door and listened to his parents raised voices down stairs tears in his eyes. After a few more minutes of yelling it all stopped and the sounds of footsteps came up the stairs to his door before it opened to revile his father stone faced with a red mark on his cheek.
Wordlessly Onyx walked into the room and opened the closet grabbing a bag and stuffing most of the boy's clothes into it before zipping it and setting it on the floor as he walked to the side of the bed holding his arms out.
"Come here Riff."
The child, Riff, looked at his father questioningly but pushed his blanket off and got to his feet hugging his toy dog close as he was scooped into his father's arms and held close in a hug before Onyx leaned down and grabbed the bag and walked from the room. As they passed the kitchen Riff could see his mother in the kitchen with her arms crossed and an angry look on her face as she cried, seeing his mother crying Riff whimpered and reached over his father's shoulder for her.
"Mama."
Alice visibly flinched but closed her eyes looking away causing Riff's whimper to turn into a hiccupped sob.
"Mama! Mama!"
Alice turned away covering her ears as Onyx grabbed another bag and opened the door looking down at his son.
"Mama is staying here Riffy, you and I are going to visit your aunt Patricia for awhile."
Riff sniffled looking up at his father with wet eyes before looking back at his mother as they left the house the door closing behind them. Onyx and Riff stayed in the house along a secluded shore with Onyx's younger sister Patricia, her husband and cousin Richard, their son Cosmo who was 3, and their daughter Nation who was almost a year old, for about a week until Onyx found a small two bedroom apartment in the city. With it being only Riff and his father Patricia watched Riff during the day until he was old enough to begin school at public school, seeing as Onyx didn't make enough to send him to the private pre-academy school he and Alice had planned on sending him too, and it quickly became apparent the boy had a knack for sciences, as well as the fact that he and Cosmo often competed for the place at the top of the class but were never above helping each other.
Meanwhile back across the city Alice found out being the single mother of a fiery toddler wasn't a basket of roses, the child would fall into bouts of colickie fits where she would cry for hours until she tired herself out. As she got older Alice couldn't deny that the girl she'd named Magenta took after Onyx's sister with her bright red hair, emerald green eyes and independant soul. Magenta wasn't top of her class, or really even average, she struggled a little to keep up with the things the private pre-academy taught her. The siblings grew up with two very different lives but one thing they had in common was the sole fact that neither knew they had a sibling just across the city.
A/N2: Okay so I know this chapter seems a little rough and choppy and let me tell you I didn't put much thought into the beginning because i was eager to get to the part where the pair meet for the first time so i apologize for this messy and shaky start I hope it will get better from here, thanks for reading and don't forget to review if you liked!
