Chapter 6.5
This is an extra chapter in Ronald's POV
I had Eric drop me off at school on his way back to the hospital to be with Alan.
"Why?" he asked me.
"I wanna practice basketball." I answered. And that was half the truth. Right now I was changing into my gym clothes in the locker room. I then went into the storage room and pulled out the basketballs. Then I started shooting hoops. I was there for about an hour when Undertaker came into the gym.
"You're here early." He commented.
"Eric dropped me off on his way to the hospital." I explained. He nodded.
"You aren't visiting Alan?" he inquired.
"I was there earlier with Eric. We watched Thor: Tales of Asgard with him." I responded.
"How are you getting home?" he asked.
"I was hoping since its Saturday if I could spend the weekend with you." I replied as we went into the locker room. I changed back into my regular clothes.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" he asked. I nodded. "Okay." I then followed Undertaker out to his car. We climbed in and he drove us to his house. I opened the door to his house with the key he gave me. We walked in and I went to the TV and turned it on.
"What do you want for dinner?" he asked. I turned to him.
"I don't know." I answered. "Maybe pizza. And have it delivered."
"That involves someone coming to my house and finding out I have my 16 year old gym student in my home for the weekend." Undertaker countered.
"Well who says you're not watching me while my parents are away for the week and you're returning me tomorrow? And who says I'm your student?" I offered.
"Hmm true." Undertaker thought out loud. "Pizza it is."
"YES!" I shouted. Undertaker did his, creepy to others but hot to me, laugh.
"Okay my dear." He said. Then he called in our order and joined me watching TV. I rested my head on his shoulder until our dinner arrived. He then went and paid of it while I set the table. After we ate I texted Alan to tell his mom that I was staying 'At a friend's house'. I personally think he saw through me. Undertaker and I continued to watch TV until about 12 O'clock then he ushered me to bed. I was already half asleep anyway. He had to half walk me half carry me to the bed I stayed in.
The next morning I woke up in a coffin, I sat up to see I was in a funeral gown.
"And that's why we call him Undertaker." I mused. I climbed out of my coffin bed and got back into my pants. I left my shirt upstairs when I went down. Undertaker took one look at me and raised an eyebrow.
"My policy is no guests, no outings, no shirt." I explained hopping up onto the island and sitting there. Undertaker laughed continuing his cooking. "Alan is a completely different story." I continued.
"Do tell." Undertaker edged me on.
"Well Alan being my best friend and brother…and only friend is almost always in a suit like outfit. Or dressed properly. He yells at me for not wearing my shirt. Especially when Eric comes over, this is rare because of Sutcliff." I explained. I stopped for a little before looking at Undertaker. "Undertaker?" I asked.
"Yes my love?" he asked.
"Is there a way for us to be together w-without having to do stuff like this? Sneaking around? It feels wrong." I asked.
"There is but you'd have to stop taking gym and it would take a four to three out of five signatures. Which I doubt we'll get." Undertaker said. "Then there's a judge involved."
"If I asked to get the permission would you do all that?" I asked shyly.
"Of course I would because I'd rather have you all to myself." Undertaker replied lifting my head to meet him eye to eye.
"Who would we need to sign?" I asked.
"The principal, your mother and father, Alan and his mother." Undertaker listed.
"Why Alan and Mum?" I asked.
"Alan is the man of the house and his mother is your guardian."
"Okay well they'll be easy signatures for us." I commented excited.
"Why?"
"Alan is gay already so he'll approve and both he and his mother firmly believe that if you love the person dearly enough it shouldn't matter how old they are, what gender they are, what race or religion they are. It only matters that they love you for who you are and you love them the same." I explained.
"Those are good words to live by." Undertaker said. I nodded. "Would you like to go get the papers after breakfast?" I pouted.
"B-but I like the weekends to not wear a shirt." I whined. Undertaker gave me a questioning look. "Okay I'll get a shirt on after breakfast." And after breakfast I did then we left to the government building. We had to sit through a half hour lecture which was basically if we get permission we cannot have sex until I was 18 and that I was to report if he did anything I didn't like. I was daydreaming for more than half of it. Then the guy gave us the paper and we left. I climbed into the passenger's seat as Undertaker climbed into the driver's seat.
"That was painfully boring." I complained. "Where are we going first?"
"Hmm your parents." Undertaker answered.
"They're not fond of me!" I shouted. "I mean I moved out to be with my best friend who was dying."
We arrived at my parents' house and I slowly got out of the car. Undertaker was waiting for me.
"Why not the principal, or Alan and Mum first?" I asked nervous.
"Because if we get these two done you don't have to talk to them after this." Undertaker answered.
"true." I murmured. "But what if they don't let me?"
"It's two out of five." Undertaker said. "If they say no it doesn't matter all that much."
"Yeah I guess." We walked into the house together. I chose to leave this next part in my parents' house out for our younger viewers. Let's just say it was filled with colorful language from my father and things being thrown at me by the same man. Then my mother signed and I was told to never come back.
We next arrived at the hospital. I lead Undertaker back to Alan's room. Eric lay with him on his bed. The two of them were looking at a magazine together. Alan looked up and smiled then looked surprised when we walked in.
"What do I owe the pleasure of seeing you two here?" he asked smiling.
"You owe the pleasure of seeing us here because I need you and Mum to sign something for us." I answered.
"Let me see." Alan held out his hand for the paper. I handed it to him. "You're father rejected?" he asked disgusted.
"He called me a little fag." I said nodding.
"Eric will you be a dear and get me a pen and my table?" Alan asked.
"Of course." Eric answered. He hopped out of the bed and pulled over a table thing and grabbed a pen for Alan. Alan signed his name for Undertaker and me.
"Thanks Alan." I smiled.
"Of course." Alan answered. "Mom is in the cafeteria."
"Thank you." I said. "If you want to stay and talk you can Undertaker."
"I'm following you Little Lamb." He replied following me out of the room.
"See you two." Alan called.
"See you!" I called back. Undertaker and I walked into the cafeteria. I saw Mom (Alan's mom) right away.
"Ronnie!" she called waving at me.
"Mom!" I shouted back running over to her. We hugged. "Mom this is Undertaker. He's my gym teacher and I want him to be my boyfriend." I said mumbling towards the end.
"Ronald are you in love?" Mom asked. I nodded and held out the paper to her. She immediately signed it. "You know what I say Ronald. I don't care about age, gender, race religion or any of that petty stuff. As long as you're in love." She smiled at me and I elbowed Undertaker.
"See?" I said.
"Yes I do. Now for the principal." He said. I groaned.
"Bye Mom." I waved to her as we left the cafeteria. She waved back.
The last stop was the high school. I frowned when we pulled up in front of the building.
"What's wrong little Lamb?" Undertaker asked.
"I'm nervous." I admitted.
"Don't be Little Lamb." Undertaker and I climbed out of the car. We went into the principal's office. I walked in first.
"Knox you know it's Sunday, right?" Mr. Randall asked me annoyed.
"Yes sir." I answered. Undertaker walked in after me and he sat down.
"Arthur we wanted to talk to you about something." Undertaker said calmly. I sat next to him.
"And what is that?" Mr. Randall asked.
"We need you to sign this paper so that Ronnie here and I can be together. Ronald is willing to change his classes if needed." Undertaker explained.
"I suppose its fine." Mr. Randall sighed and signed the paper for us.
"Thanks!" I cheered.
"Thank you." Undertaker said.
"Now let's change your classes." Mr. Randall said. I nodded and we changed my gym class to fitness class. I get to lift weights. Undertaker and I then left and went back to the government building.
"One rejection." The guy from earlier noted. We then got approved with a huge ass stamp. Undertaker and I walked out of the building hand-in-hand.
