A.N. Forgive me. I said i was going to put this up a day after the last chapter and i didn't, but! before any of you get mad...I had this gigantic virus that took over my computer and i wasn't able to reach my stories or any of my other projects. I had to wait till Daniel came back from his trip. Elric and I are complete computer retards. *sweat drop* Daniel made me feel so stupid when he came back. Then i got sick, because I wasn't eating and then Exams just made everything worse. So there you go, the worst excuses ever made.
Anyways back to the story... I noticed in the first chapter that Tony was worried Rudolph would turn into Stone. Well, wrong vampire movie (woops) He'd burst into flames and obviously burn. So forgive me for that. This chapter is the longish/short talk with the therapist. I kinda like the therapist. He's kind, but greedy and i rarely find these personalities in people so yup. Next chapter should be up this weekend i'm halfway done and I promise Rudolph will be in it and not just in a memory, I mean the actual story. His personality is not one i've ever written so it's a bit of a challenge. The characters (Bob, Dottie, Tony) are most likely out of character, but i like them like this-sort of. XD
Disclaimer: I don't own the movie, actors, or Scotland. ( Totally spelled that wrong) That's your proof i'm an uneducated child from america, I mean just read the story and you'll shake your head in disgust. My grammar is way too pittiful for owning anything other than my failing grades. T_T
She knew.
His secret swirled itself into his mother's ears and it slid itself deep within in her. He could tell from that one look he had just seen that she was going to take Samantha's words to her grave. That girl had somehow gotten into his mind and found what she needed to spoon-feed his mother with the memory. His eyes wouldn't look anywhere, but at his shoes. He felt the pressure of other's gazes, but nothing could make him look up.
He watched the room through his ears. Tony listened to coughing, quiet conversations, the faint sound of the movie, clothes rubbing against the rubbery seats, and families walking in and out of the room. This continued for an hour or so, but for Tony it seemed like it had only been ten minutes of constant noise and his thoughts.
"We're ready for you Mr. Nilson." Tony heard motion from his left. He looked up and watched the pair walk towards the woman, each walking with different emotions It was the boy who had given him a small ounce of reassurance. The pierced teen didn't look at him now. His silent steps echoed in Tony's mind. He could even hear the anxiety hidden in the fake confidence of the other teen's steps. The steps told Tony the boy had no time to worry about a kid whose sexual preferences have just been revealed to his parents and a room cluttered with strangers.
At least that's what he hoped they said. He wasn't fluent in the sound of shoes just quiet yet. A hint of a smile shaped Tony's lips for a mere second, but his lips moved themselves back into their former negative position.
Time passed before Ginger came out asking for him.
"Mrs. Thompson. The Doctor is ready for Tony." Tony looked up just in time to see the other teen walk out looking just the same as when he was sitting in the chair -bored. His father followed behind him with a confused look that made Tony wonder what secrets had been let out.
Tony and his parents stood up and prepared themselves for whatever was coming next. As they passed, the boy looked at him and gave him a small smile, so small that Tony wasn't entirely sure it had been there.
Tony sat apprehensively in front of a slim, white-haired, twinkling eyed man. The Doctor smiled patiently waiting for someone to answer. He couldn't help, but bite his lip at this whole situation.
"Why would it be our fault?" Bob leaned forward in his seat as he asked.
"Did you ever explain to Tony as a child that the Vampires on the television are just actors?"
"Well, no. But that's because…"
"Exactly. It is the parent's duty to explain to young minds that mythical creatures and fairy tales are all completely made up."
"I suppose so, but Tony never watched movies like that. I never allowed him to watch anything that wasn't informational. Anyways Tony has always been interested in Science and History. He never really cared for such monsters until.." Dottie looked at Tony and then back at the Doctor.
"Hold on. Before we dig into your unfinished sentence. Is it possible that Tony may have seen this at someone else's house?" The doctor smiled at Tony in a 'boys will be boys' way.
"No. His friends over in America were a bit on the timid side. There parents wouldn't have let them at such a young age. He didn't have many friends when he first came here, but now he does. He doesn't go over to any of there houses though."
"And why is that?" Wilkerson's eyebrow raised.
"Because I go over to my friend Rudolph's house." The doctor's eyes grew wide in surprise listening to Tony's voice for the first time.
"I was wondering when you were going to talk. Who is this Rudolph?"
"I just said my friend." Tony winced and immediately bit his tongue. Today was not a day for any back talking.
"Sorry." He mumbled wishing he could go home to the one person they were talking about.
"Oh, no need to apologize. I should apologize for not paying close attention. I just wasn't expecting you to answer. Now, back to were we where. How did you meet Rudolph?"
"At school. He was the only one who talked to me and soon we became real close friends." Tony watched as all the adults in the room swallowed his lie without any doubts.
"That was nice of him."
"Yeah it was." Tony answered remembering how they had really met.
"Let me ask you a question, Tony. Why is Rudolph so special?"
"He's so…..I don't know. Rudolph is a great dude to hang out with, I guess." If Tony had told what he had wanted to say then they would've been there for an hour listening to him list all the great features of his boyfriend.
"Mmmm. I see." No, you don't.
"How long have you known Rudolph?"
"Umm… 7 years." Remembering Rudolph's age of 317/318 Tony got a little lost while subtracting.
"That's a long time. So would you say that you and Rudolph are very close?" Dr. Wilkerson asked
"Yeah, I guess." Tony shrugged. If only his drama teacher could see him now! Bad acting, my butt!
"Mrs. Thompson, would you say Rudolph has a bit of an influence on Tony?" He turned to her and almost fell back in surprise.
"Yes! That is exactly why we came her today!" She shot out of her seat with bright eyes. Finally something was going her way.
"I thought we came for vampires." Bob muttered.
"Shush it, Bob!"
"I'm guessing you wish to change the subject to…Rudolph?" Tony's heart pumped harder with every mention of Rudolph. It was almost like the mentioning of him brought him into the room.
"Yes! Rudolph has had a horrible effect on Tony."
"Well, if we're going to change subjects permanently then that will cost you an extra 10 bucks." Wilkerson coughed.
"Now I know why you're 2nd best." Tony squirmed under the glare of the doctor.
"Excuse me! Let's get back to what we came here for." Dottie said taking her seat again.
"Vampires?"
"No! Bob. We have obviously moved on. Please let us continue. Dottie as you were saying." Dr. Wilkerson was showing his true side.
Tony was sure he had read in a magazine, it takes 90 days for a man's true personality to show. Tony felt like whistling at how fast the Dr. worked.
"His friend has made him late for dinner and causes him to miss days with me, because of their sleepovers. We are obviously dealing with a rebel here. His family's a little strange as well." Dottie's face fell when Wilkerson lost the greedy twinkle in his eye and was replaced with a smug look.
"Mrs. Thompson there is obviously nothing wrong with Rudolph. He seems like an average teenage boy. He seems pretty tame so far, but by your last statement I have realized…You're jealous of him."
"What?" Dottie yelled furiously. Bob on the other hand had a very thoughtful look on his face.
"Makes sense."
"Bob! You can not be serious!"
"Mrs. Thompson." Dr. Wilkerson butted in before an argument began. "I think it would be very unwise to separate these two boys. They seem to be very close in ways that some can not understand."
"Wait! How can you know how close me and him are if I haven't even told you anything?" Tony almost shouted out of surprise. Is everyone a mind reader here?
"The years that you've spent with him have been a big give away. Then I noticed how you reacted when we talked about him. You weren't looking at me and you were slightly blushing. Almost like a girl would when talking about her crush." Why? Why are my cheeks so blushable?
"You're doing it now." Dr. Wilkerson smiled.
"Am not!" He yelled trying to stare the doctor down. Tony didn't notice his parent's eyes growing wide with his familiar words.
"I also happened to overhear the commotion between Samantha and you earlier." He turned and faced his parents "You're son doesn't need therapy. He needs to go home and sleep off this bad day that he's been having. Tony will tell you when he is ready and there's no better time than after a good nap and some chocolate. However, I would love to make an appointment with the two of you. Next week perhaps?"
Dr. Wilkerson ignored the drop of jaws and continued. "I have a great skill of fixing eroding marriages. It will only cost 20 bucks for dropping your son and adding you two instead. Now if you'd please tell Ginger to send in my next patients I'd greatly appreciate it. Please and thank you." He said walking over to the door and opening it for them. It took a moment for the three to register what had just happened before they picked themselves up and walked on out rather confused.
"Uh… take Tony to the car, Bob. I'll go pay." Dottie said dazedly walking towards Marsha. He nodded. Tony felt lost, but quickly blinked it away. It was over.
He grinned and walked ahead, almost skipping, out the door. He was going to get to see the person who was currently on his mind in a matter of minutes and no more therapy!His mom's plan completely backfired on her. This day wasn't as bad as it had begun
Tony laid in bed waiting for the nightly tap on the window. His mind wandered with glimpses of memories and thoughts before it eventually landed on one. It was of his birthday. The day of his event was almost touchable. He figured his mom had already invited everyone on her list. After today would she still want to celebrate her gay son's birthday? He remembered the reflection of her face in the car's outside mini window.
She had looked confused, thoughtful, and he was certain he had seen anger.
He had pretended to fall asleep in the car so he could avoid any inescapable conversations. When they arrived Dottie rushed out of the car not bothering to wake him up. He stared as she shut the front door silently behind her. His dad pretty much did the same thing, but Bob had no message in his movements. Tony bit back his self-pity and made his way out the car and into his room. Was his mom ever going to forgive him?
"Tony?"
He gasped, waking himself out of his worries. Tony sat up and he quickly noticed the dark figure standing beside him.
As his mind registered the familiar shape, his senses caught the intoxicating smell of a vampire.
A.N. Bad Ending, i know. No, just bad chappie. It really has not much of a point, but since he was already there... There are somethings i want to play around with before i become certain about some stuff.
Oh Oh! Some random news to waste your time with... Daniel has put up a room for rent and we've already gotten some offers. It's hard watching people's faces reactions when Daniel tells them that he and El are dating and the hyper teen in the dark corner actually lives here. Its really the first part that gets everyone who we've interviewed so far. -sighs-
I want a female to move in. I feel kinda lonely with these two dudes around and i miss homecooked meals. Elric is great for EVERYTHING except cooking. Why, El? Why? If an older women moves in I'm so goin to make her a maid. Mwahaha! XD
