Thud Thud Thud. High heeled footsteps echoed up the hall, nearing my bedroom. I prayed they were just going to pass by to the master bedroom, but oh no, nothing ever goes my way. The doorknob, no less than a few feet away from my bed, jingled. As mother tried to open the door I had to think fast of how in the hell I was going to hide the naked Aleks draped across my chest, still asleep.
I was practically paralyzed in my bed. In only seconds mother would walk in that door and see her naked son with another naked male. Wait, why am I so freaked out? Who gives a shit if she catches us?
The door opened, without knocking of course, and entered mother followed by father, all dressed for work. Their eyes immediately darted to the sound asleep Aleks, and back to me. Two seconds didn't pass until mother started.
"Alright, Dominik," she said in a voice that was calm but still detected rage. "That... this is it. This whole...thing you're doing. It needs to stop. Now," she sniffed. "What is that boy's name?"
"Why?" I said not even lifting my head from the pillow.
"So I can call his parents-," I swiftly flipped out of bed and ran up to the beastly women. Thankfully I remembered to put my boxers back on last night before falling asleep
"No no no no no," I said holding both her shoulders. "You don't need to do that."
"I can and I will," she said looking up at me. I was still about 4 inches taller. "His parents need to know." Even arguing, we managed to keep voices low as to not wake Aleks up.
"No they don't," I tried one last time before she pushed my hands off her shoulders. She marched over to my desk and picked up my laptop. "Wait, wait. What are you doing with that?"
"If you do not tell me the name of that boy, your laptop privileges will be revoked."
"WHAT, you can't do that, everyone I know is on there. What about Suicide_Room, and Sylvia. Put it down you crazy bitch-." Smack a stinging sensation found my left cheek. Mother's golden ring slammed near my eye. She stood with squinting eyes, waiting for my answer. I told her Aleksander's full name and she left to look up his parent's number. During all of this, father simply stood in the doorway with a tired look on his face. We stared at one another. None of us saying anything for a while.
"...Dominik, mhghm," he cleared his throat. "Um, sit down, son," he gestured towards the end of the bed away from Aleks. It creaked as we sat down.
"Listen, your mother, well...it's just how she is. You know her, she doesn't change her mind about anything. You just...don't be so obvious about this whole thing. I know it's not fair, but soon you'll be out of here and be able to do whatever you want," he said with a soft voice.
"Wait so, you're not mad about...my relationship with Aleks?"
"Of course not, Dominik. I'd never be. I love you and I don't give a damn about what you do as long as you are happy." Father gave a closed smile and nod before getting off the bed, exiting the room, and shutting the door behind him.
"Your dad's nice," Aleks said with half his face in the pillow.
"You just scared the shit out of me, I thought you were asleep," I said reaching resting my hand on his.
"Your dad said he loves you."
"I guess he did."
"And you didn't say it back?" Aleks asked getting out of bed, pulling his clothes on.
"Well it's kind of weird. Like we were never that kind of family."
"Better than no family," he says buckling his pants belt. I forgot that Aleks's mother died when he was about 7 years old and his father has always been distant from him.
The bedroom door opened once again and this time, speak of the devil, Aleks's father walks in with a disappointed look on his face. He wore a black coat and kept his hands in his pockets.
"Come on, Aleksander. Let's go," his father instructs.
"Dad, I love Dominik. And nothing will change that." I felt my head grow light and my stomach flip. He actually said it! I felt such a rush of happiness I had the urge to run up and kiss him, but didn't have the balls to do so in front of his dad.
"I know, son," his dad said shaking his head. "We need to go." Aleks obeyed and followed him out, winking at me before he left.
A/N: Thanks to ions-xx and restinnothing for the ideas. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while but with school ending I've been doing a lot of other shit and didn't have the chance to write, but I'll definitely be updating a lot more during the summer. And sorry for the dry chapter, just wanted to mention the family. And as always, if you have any ideas of how the story should continue, leave them in the reviews and I'll take them into consideration. Thanks for reading.
