Bedtime Story

Joe sat on the border of the small bed as the child eyed him eagerly. The boy's eyes sparkled with interest and enthusiasm, and the man couldn't help but smile.

-"So, what story do you want tonight buddy?"

-"Ummm... a new one!"

-"A new one? Like, not from a book?"

Joe got a nod as a response, and he thought for a moment as his mind came up with a suitable story for his young listener.

-"Well, once upon a time there was a prince who went ona quest to find and kill a very evil wizard. The prince travelled across the whole kingdom, and one day he finally found the wizard's castle. Using his intelligence and his sword, the prince managed to get into his enemy's hideout. However, the wizard was expecting this, for he had many powers, and sent his soldiers after the prince. Although the prince was very brave and strong, there were many soldiers and he couldn't fight them all. So the soldiers took him to the dungeons, where they chained him to a cold, stone wall."

Joe stopped his take for a moment to see the effect his words had on the boy, who was gripping his blanket tightly. Still, he asked:

-"What happened then?"

-"A huge door opened with a horrible creaking sound and the fair prince found himself face-to-face with the dark wizard."

Draven shivered, which made Joe chuckle.

-"Then, the wizard grabbed a whip that had been thrown on the floor some time before and started hitting the prince, who screamed and begged."

The Asian man paused to look more attentively at the boy, whose eyes were tightly shut.

-"After a while, the wizard unchained the prince, to allow him a fair match, and soon they were fighting for their lives. The fight lasted for many long hours, till they both fell to the floor, exhausted and bleeding. But then, suddenly, a beautiful, sparkling fairy appeared, and she healed both men with her magical powers, which made the darkness in the wizard's heart turn into light..."

Joe said the last few words barely above a whisper, as he noticed the child had fallen asleep. He kissed Draven on the forehead and tucked him in, feeling secretly proud of his new-found talent to make kids sleep. The man stood up and turned to leave, only to find Chester standing at the doorway, smirking.

-"Joe, hadn't Mike told you not to watch our homemade videos?"

-"Shut up, I made you the good guy! And you betetr be nice to me, or next time I might tell your son that his daddy likes to be handcuffed to the bed and get whipped by Uncle Mikey..."

-"Asshole."

-"That'd be you, hun."

A/N: So what did you think? It's my first fic, and I'd love to get a few reviews so I can improve my writing. I'll be posting the second chapter soon.

This is un-beta'd, so all mistakes are mine - bear with me. By the way, is anyone interested in being my beta? =)
