"Damn! Damn damn damn damn!!" Richie thru a punch at the wall. "Ouch!!"
"smooth" said a voice behind him. Richie spun around quickly to see Francis sitting on his been smirking.
"How did you get in here?" he asked.
"Same way I always do" the redhead replied. "The window."
"Techcaly that's breaking and entering."
"Not if the owner wants me here, as I know you do. Now what's wrong?"
Richie sighed, nothing sitting next to his boyfriend. Nothing seemed to have gone right today. "My alarm didn't go off this morning, I was late for school, left my homework at home and got detention because of it, and my dad is still furious at me for refusing to stop seeing you." He finished sadly thinking back on yelling match they had had in the kitchen moments ago. "He seems to think that you're going to snap any minute and kill me or something and no matter what I tell him he refuses to believe that you're not as bad as you make yourself out to be. I'm starting to think that I can't do anything right"
The fiery metahuman shot a stern look at the blonde. "Don't think that for a minute." He said fiercely. "Everyone has bad days and no one can ever please their parents."
"But what if he never accepts you? There is absolutely no way I can give you up but I don't want my dad to hate me."
"He'll get over it eventually. No one can stay mad at you for long. As for school, set your alarm early and make shore you have all your work in your bag before you go to sleep."
Richie stared at Francis incredulously. "You suck at fixing things, you know that?"
"Yup." replied Hot streak. "But I make up for it in sexiness."
The blonde snorted. "That you do! Thanks for trying anyway."
"Tomorrow will be better, you'll see."
"I guess, but I still think a long night of cuddling will make me feel better."
"Yah, about that, I won't be able to stay long."
Richie eyed him suspiciously. "What did you do now?!"
"Nothing big!! I just set a few parks on fire! Honestly it was no big deal! But the cops seemed to disagree when the fire spread to their car. there looking for me now and seeing as your dad is one I'm sure he will be more than happy to bring me in, so I should leave before he finds me here."
Richie groaned. " Perfect! A happy ending to my shitty day!"
"hey I'll sneak back in as soon as the heat dies down and we can cuddle (Francis cringed at the horrifying word) all you want."
"I don't suppose that will be any time soon?"
"Nope! Probably not!"
"Just don't do anything else to set the police off, my dad is already looking for a reason to lock you up."
"Don't worry, I'll be a good boy! See you soon."
"Bye." Richie said sadly. And with a quick kiss Francis claimed back out the window into the night.
Richie sighed again when he heard the police sirens go off almost immediately. Perfect ending to a perfect day he thought sarcastically. But in an odd why I do seem to feel better. He marveled at how his boyfriend could cheer him up even when he was on the verge of getting arrested.
Smiling as he heard a few more police cars catching fire he drifted to sleep dreaming of a fiery hared man.
