GX - GX

One afternoon a six year old boy was running around the park trying to find his dad and sister. He had accidently lost them and now couldn't find them anywhere. He was worried that he might never see them again.

Then, he looked up and saw another kid who was all alone swinging on the swings.

He decided to walk up and introduce himself. "Hello." He said, and the other boy looked at him before replying.

"Hello."

"Um... w-what's your name?"

"My name? Well... my name is Satorious. What's yours?"

"Mine is Aster."

"Well, it's very nice to meet you, Aster." Satorious said with a smile and couldn't help but notice the other boy's tears. "What's the matter?"

"I'm lost. I can't find my daddy or sissy anywhere."

"Well, why don't you stay with me until they come looking for you. I'm sure they are, they just haven't found you yet."

"Well... okay." Aster said as he got on the swing next to Satorious'. "Where is your family?"

"It's just my dad. And he's never home. He runs some sort of company, and doesn't even have anyone look out for me."

"Oh."

"I don't really mind though. I know enough to know right from wrong and he's not a very good father anyway."

"Why haven't you ever run away."

"I've tried to. I must of made hundreds of escape attempts, but he always finds me and brings me back."

"Does he know you're here?"

"No. This is a part of another escape attempt, and I'm praying to the Gods that this one works." He said.

"He's really that bad?"

"You have no idea." Satorious said. "He always locks me in my room, and refuses to let me out. I barely get anything to eat. Maybe a small meal a day, if I'm lucky, but if I try to escape I get nothing to eat for three days. But like I always say, if I can manage to find someone else to live with, I won't have to live with that torcher anymore." He said.

Then, the sounds of people calling Satorious' name came closer.

"Oh no. It's my dad's guards. If they catch me, I'm screwed." He said as he and Aster got off their swings. They looked behind them to see a hill, more like a drop, that dropped almost 30 feet down. "We have to jump."

"But we could get killed."

"Aster, if they know that you've been with me, even if it was only for a minute, they'll catch and torture you too. Do you trust me?" Satorious said as he offered Aster his hand.

"What?"

"Do you trust me?"

"...Yes." Aster said as he grabbed Satorious' hand.

"Then, hold on." Satorious said as he pulled Aster close, then closed his eyes and jumped.

Thankfully, they slid down rather than just hitting the bottom and breaking a bone, or worse. So, after they reached the bottom, Satorious grabbed Aster's hand and they ran for it.

"Come on! This way!" Satorious said as they made a sharp turn and landed in a clearing in the woods that they had run into. Then, they waited a couple minutes before Satorious spoke again.

"I think we lost 'em." He said, then laughed. "That was a close one."

"Yeah! Hey, did you see the way we slid down that drop?!" Aster said, and neither of them noticed that someone was watching them from the shadows. "That was so cool, and you... you were really brave."

"Yeah? You were pretty brave too."

Aster giggled. "Thank you." He said, and the person who was watching them, growled. Aster giggled again before poking Satorious and saying, "Tag! You're it!" He jumped to the other side and poked him again, "Tag! You're it! You're it!" Then realized Satorious wasn't really doing anything. "Hello! You run, I tag! Get it?" He asked, and Satorious raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Don't you know how to play? ...Oh." He said, then got down as if he were a cat ready to pounce and started to growl, playfully.

Satorious' eyes lit up and he did the same thing Aster did, but right after he growled playfully back, someone came out and jumped in front of Aster, scaring them both.

But then, someone else came out in front of him.

"Monkey!" Aster's dad said.

"Well, isn't this a delightful turn of events!" Monkey said with a smirk.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to find my son since he ran off on me again!" Monkey said as he glared down at Satorious, making him quiver. (A/N: In this fanfic, Satorious and Monkey aren't gonna be brothers, but father and son.)

"Who's the kid? One of your boy toys?"

"Oh. You haven't met my son, Satorious?"

"Your son?"

"Yes."

"Look, I don't care what he is, but he was planning on hurting Aster and we both know it. So, why don't you two just get out! You know the penelty if you don't leave."

"But the child does not! However... if you need your pound of flesh. Here." Monkey said as he went behind Satorious and pushed him closer to Aster's father.

'What is he ploting?' Aster's dad thought. 'Whatever it is, I'm not gonna fall for it.' "Just take him and get out. We're finished here." He said as he took Aster's and Melody's hand. But what he didn't know was that, that was what Monkey had been waiting for.

Monkey knew that he could never have hurt a little kid. Even if he thought that kid was trying to hurt his son, or not. "Oh no. We're not done, we've barely begun." He said, then smirked and chuckled evilly as he looked at Aster. He turned to Satorious, grabbed his arm, and started dragging him away.

"Bye." Aster whispered quietly to Satorious as he waved.

"Bye." Satorious whispered as he waved back.
