Someone asked me if I had my own site. I assume they meant for my stories. Nope, sure don't. Sorry! I do plan to put all my discipline stories on this account here though. So far this is the only discipline story I've written with so many chapters. Will I ever write another? I have no idea. Depends on if inspiration hits hard enough. Do you hear that muse of mine?!
Brought Back Home Chapter 10
"WHAT????"
"Shhh! Calm down Gunn." He told him about the conversation he just had with Connor.
"Oh well this is just great. Now what do we do?"
"I think that partly depends on Fred."
The next day Angel explained to the others what was going on. "Oh no. I had no idea," said Fred. "How on earth do I handle this?"
"Very carefully," said Lorne. "I'm thinking this is the kid's first crush."
Fred slipped an arm around Gunn. "I don't want to hurt him…"
"I'm thinking you did that last night," Gunn snickered. Fred's face fell.
"Connor did deserve that punishment Fred," said Angel. "Don't feel bad about that."
"But what do I do now?" Fred looked troubled.
Connor was still in his room. He didn't feel like facing anyone. He was embarrassed and his bottom was sore. He was standing looking out the window when there was a knock on his door and he heard Fred's voice. "Connor? May I come in?"
"Uh, yeah. Sure." He was surprised, he thought Fred was still angry with him.
Fred came in and shut the door behind her. "Connor I know you don't like Gunn but I wish you'd try to get along with him. I love him."
Connor just nodded. "Do you hate me now?"
"Oh Connor no, I don't hate you, and I'm not mad at you anymore. You were punished and that's the end of it." She came over and patted his shoulder comfortingly. "Why don't you come down and get something to eat hmm? It's almost noon."
"Okay." He followed her downstairs.
He found he was able to sit on a cushion as he ate some sandwiches and drank some milk. He relaxed a little now that he knew that Fred was okay with him again, but he watched as Gunn kissed her neck and she giggled and frowned. Okay so she loved the guy so what? It just meant that the competition would be rougher. She loved Gunn now, but who was to say she couldn't switch that love to him?
The others were surprised when Connor suddenly started acting like a perfect little angel. He was polite and did as he was told and helped with chores around the hotel without being asked. Angel was glad to be able to spend time with his son without there having to be so much of a struggle constantly. They were able to talk and watch TV. together, to play board games, spar against each other, etc. It was a nice change.
After over a week of this, Angel decided that Connor should be able to go out on his own if he respected a curfew. He also started giving him an allowance. Connor did respect his curfew and often even came in earlier then he needed to. The others were impressed. Of course what they didn't know was that this was Connor's attempt to start trying to win Fred over.
"Why Connor they're lovely," Fred exclaimed when he gave her some pink roses.
"I saw them and they made me think of you."
"That's so sweet." She put them in a vase. "Thank you." Connor smiled when she gave him a hug, making sure to hug her back. He sighed a bit dreamily after she pulled away. Oh yeah, it wouldn't be long before Gunn was out of the picture, he thought.
