Sorry I haven't been writing much. I spent the night at my friend's house for two nights. But I'm back!! Enjoy!

"What's up?" Axel asked, sitting next to me in math class. I gave him a bored look before back out the window. Vincent's out of town because his mother had a heart attack a few days ago (my mother died two days after a heart attack when I was seven) and he had Axel and Reno look after me.
"The sky and gas prices." I answer him in a bored tone. Axel's face suddenly became angry.
"Yeah. The prices are almost five dollars a gallon (its true here in Alaska). I had to pay almost a hundred dollars to get my car's tank filled."
I nodded in understanding. I almost jumped when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and smiled. It was Arith. She must be calling for some extra help. "Hello?" Axel raised an eyebrow as he watched my face turn from a smile to frown. "What?... I'll be over there in a second!" I shut my phone and ran towards the door.
I ran past the teacher as he had just came in, surprising him and the whole class. But I don't care; I'm needed at the moment. I run out of the school and headed towards my motorcycle. When I had it turned on, I gassed it. And pretty soon, I had a cop car behind me. But I kept going until I reached the care center.
I got off my bike and ran inside the building. When I ran in, I was hit by a terrible sight. Kadaj was crying onto Arith's chest while Arith was trying to hold back her tears. On the floor were two bleeding corps of Kadaj's parents. And when Kadaj saw me, he ran to me like there was no tomorrow.
I went down onto my knees and opened my arms towards him, hugging him to my chest. The cop that followed me stopped beside me and looked at me apologetically. "What happened here?" I ask, looking away from the bloody scene.
Arith finally burst into tears and tried to tell me what happened through here sniffles. "A robber came in and tried to rob our cashier. But then Kadaj's parents came in unexpectedly and he shot them down without a second thought." She started to cry more heavily and I opened an arm for her. She immediately came to my side and cried into my shoulder.
"And when he heard the sirens, he left without the money." Zack said when he came from the back of the building. He told me this morning he had to work extra hours to earn some extra cash. He looked like he was a bit teary eyed too.
"So what'll happen to Kadaj?" I ask, hoping for some good news. Zack sat down next to us and sighed.
"Kadaj has an older that'll come and pick him in a couple of months. But until then, he's going to be staying with child services." I look at Zack with a sad expression before an idea came into my head. I gave Zack Kadaj and let go of Arith, walking up to one of the police men.
"Excuse me officer. But I heard that Kadaj will be staying at child services until his brother gets back and I don't think that'll be a good idea." The officer gave me a stern look and crossed his arms. "But I would gladly become his guardian until his brother comes for him."
The seemed to like that idea, but he gave me another stern look. "Aren't you a little too young? And aren't you still in school?"
"Yes, but I have been given permission to become a guardian, and the teachers would let me have some time off since I'm way over my scores, and my friends can give me my assignments that I need to do. So will I be able to become his guardian?" I ask politely and a bit too friendly, scaring the man.
"I, uh, guess so. Just sign these papers and he'll be yours for now." The man gave me a clip board and signed those pointless papers. When I finished, I gave them back to the man and went to take Kadaj to his new temporary home. Arith smiled at me and Zack nodded his head as I left, throwing me his keys while I gave him mine. I can't drive the kid home on my motorcycle now can I?
(couple hours later)
"Come on Kadaj, stop splashing me." I say, aggravated as he splashed me again. I was giving him a bath and I never knew he would be so hyperactive. He just laughs and giggles every time he splashes me, getting me all wet.
The teachers agreed to give me some time off since I'm so ahead in my schooling. And I had called Vincent a few minutes ago to tell him about the situation. He was stunned to say the less. He knew I thought of Kadaj's parents as my own and was very sorry to hear about their death. Just like how I was sorry for his mother.
Mrs. Valentine had a blockage and is going to go into open heart surgery (my dad had open heart surgery). But I guess that's better than dying.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I was splashed again. I look over to see Kadaj looking at me angrily for not paying attention to him. He then held up his arms as if saying he was done. I get out a towel and wrap it around him after I got him out of the bath.
After he was dry, I dressed him up in clothes that Arith brought for me. He looked so cute in his little blue jamys. I couldn't help but chuckle as he yawned and fell asleep in my arms. I yawned too and placed him onto my bed as I got dressed myself. After I was dressed, I placed both of us under the covers and had him fall asleep in my arms.
The next morning, I woke up from a heavy weight on my chest that was bouncing up and down. I reluctantly open my eyes to see Kadaj on my chest. Memories of yesterday came back and I groaned as Kadaj did a heavy bounce. But he was suddenly pulled off, making me panic. But I calmed when I saw that it was only Vincent. …? Vincent?
"What are you doing back early?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "Not that I don't want you here."
"My mother's surgery went fine and my sister knew something was on my mind and she forced me to come back here." He explained, holding little Kadaj carefully. "Is he the one we're taking care of?" I nod. "He's cute."
"I know. Isn't he?" My lover nods and hands me back the ankle-biter. He then heads towards the kitchen and starts to make breakfast. "I missed you." He looks back at me and gives me a half smile.
"I missed you too." He goes back to his cooking. The smell of bacon and pancakes drifts to my nose and my mouth starts to water. He doesn't make any eggs 'cause he knows I hate eggs (me too). I really do love him. He's treated me like no one else had. He shows me what it's like to truly love and what it's like to be love.
And one of these days, we are going to make love. Slow and passionate.
All that stuff I put in ( ) really happened. And the gas prices are ridiculous. It's up to 4.74 a gallon now. I hate you gas company!! And if anyone can draw, please draw me a yaoi picture from anyone in my stories and email me it at . Please!!
