Barrett's POV

I wake up and realize that Kyle and I feel asleep together.

God this feels so great - so wonderful, to have him half-naked in my arms, blushing, and being as adorable as can be.

I just hope Mana doesn't show up.

He did say that we were trying to fix something, right?

Fuck this is a hard secret to keep. Thank God Aria is super smart and actually doesn't mind. But she seems like she'd be so attached to her mother.

But she won't tell, right?

Ah, whatever. I just wanna focus on Kyle right now.

He obviously hasn't waken up yet. He's so lazy.

I inch away from him a bit and look at how he's sleeping. He's on his side, his neck just begging me to lick and bite it. But I can't. I can't leave any hickeys on him. Or else she'll get mad. And Kyle doesn't deserve to get yelled at. Plus it would give everything away, or she'll kill all the females around her, not including her daughter.

He just needs to be cuddled. And possibly fondled with. By me.

I lightly touch his neck and wish to put all the marks I can on him. It's hard not to get excited with him around me like this.

I snuggle back closer to him and smile.

I love you so much, Kyle.

Kyle's POV

I wake up, still being snuggled by Barrett. I nuzzle my face into his chest and he looks at me.

"Hey sleepy head," He says with a smile.

"Moooorning~" I say, kissing his chin.

"You think your wifey's worried?"

"Probably..." I sigh. "She's gonna lecture me when I get back."

"That sucks, I feel so bad. Why don't we really break something in the house so that you can stay longer? But you must be missing Aria too, huh?"

"Well, yeah... She is my daughter after all..." I give a weak smile and look down, away from Barrett's gaze.

He strokes my hair with one and and holds onto me with the other.

"You seem sad," He says, tightening his grip on me.

"No, Barrett, I'm fine."

Before I realize it, tears start flowing out of my eyes. I keep the smile on my face and try not to shake or anything to make Barrett worry. But that's kind of hard to do, considering the fact that he can feel my tears on his chest.

"Kyle, don't lie to me, I know you're not alright,"

"Ok, ok, I'm not!"

I cling onto Barrett and start crying more rapidly.

"Fuck Barrett! I don't know if Aria's really my child!"

"What?"

Was that sudden or what? But it's true. I've always had my doubts. Maybe if Max didn't come to the house as often when Mana knew I was going to be away... Fuck!

"Kyle don't be ridiculous!"

"No, Barrett, really! Ok, look... When I'd tell Mana that I'd be gone for a bit, she'd always bring Max over. God I sound paranoid just like her, but, I mean, me and her only did it once... And it was very awkward for me... I doubt we really did anything... It was just weird! We hardly do anything and then all of a sudden she's pregnant! Barrett, I love Aria so much, but what if she's really Max's child and not mine? God damn it, I swear to God I'm so messed up to think this, but, still!"

I can't help my yelling, or my tears, or how messed up I feel right now.

"Look, Kyle..." Barrett starts as he strokes my hair, trying to calm me down a bit, "I know that you must be doubtful because of that, but even if he is, which he probably isn't, that little girl looks so much like you. She has your red hair color, and those beautiful brown eyes of yours. And no one can take you two away from each other. Max has never even been in Aria's life as much as you have. You're an amazing father to her, Kyle, and you always will. Not matter what."

My crying slows down a little and I move up closer to Barrett and hide my face in the crock of his neck.

"Barrett..." I can't use words to express how much that ment to me... All I can do is say his name and hug him, and hope that he knows how much I care...

"Come on, Kyle, lets get dressed... I don't wanna, but I also don't want you to get yelled at by Mana..." He kisses my forehead softly, and I inch away from him a bit. I smile at him and wipe away the last of my tears.

"Alright..."

We get up out of bed and Barrett helps put my clothes back on. I giggle.

"I feel like a child,"

"Well, it's fun dressing you up. Cuz then I get to un dress you again."

We both start laughing.

"Jeez, Barrett, that was a little corny." I manage to say in between laughs.

"But it was still sweet, right?"

"Yeah," I smile and giggle a bit more, feeling like a happy little school-boy.

When I'm with Barrett I feel more like... Myself.

Soon we're both dressed, and we walk back down stairs.

"I'm making more tea," Barrett says, as he walks over to the kitchen to brew some more wonder cups of tea. I sit down at the table.

A while later there's a knock at the door.

"Oh-I'll go get it," Barrett says, as he quickly places the cups of freshly-brewed tea in front of me and in front of his place at the table.

He opens up the door.

"Barrrrettt!"

I recognize that voice! It's Yue!

"Oh, hey, Yue."

"I went over Mana's today, and she said Kyle was over here? She seemed pretty sad that he was gone,"

"Oh, yeah, he's here... "

Barrett steps out of the way and lets the traveling seller into his home. Yue walks in happily.

"Kyyyllllllle!" She says, running over to me and giving me a super tight gut-squeezing hug, "Oh, I hate you so much! Taking Mana away from me. Juuuust kidding! Mana's looking for you!" I sand up and look at her.

"What?"

"Yup! She's worried."

"Oh... Tell her I'll be there soon, kay?"

"Will do! Sooo... You and Barrett bump uglies yet?"

"Y-Yue!"

"Weeeell, you spent the night here, what else would you guys do?" She gave me a wink and nudged me with her elbow. She giggled.

"You guys make a sweet couple, you know that? But it's ok, I won't tell Maaaana~! Bye-bye!"

And with that, Yue left, me and Barrett speechless.

"HOW THE FUCK DOES SHE KNOW?" Barrett yelled, looking like someone just punched him in the gut and he was ready to punch them back.

"I don't know!" I yelled back standing up. "Maybe... Maybe she's just really smart. We're not that obvious about it, right?"

"We...We're not..." Barrett sighed. "Well there's only one way to find out,"

"So we're going to either have to question Yue or... See if Aria told. Which is highly un-likely."

"What should we do first?"

"Let's go... Ask Yue first."

"Alrighty,"

Well. It seems that our secret is either really obvious, or someone found out and is trying to possibly get me killed. God I don't know what I'll do if Mana hears about this!

Whaaaat? Kyle you are the babbie's daddy. Sorry. The Steeve Wilkos show's in my head XD Yeah, anyway, Ireally didn't want to have to use Max because I love the pairing Max x Jake (weird, I'l lexplain it some other time XD) And... uh.. I guess Yue'll be all shoujo-ai, so there's gonna be some of that in the later chapters.. . Ifeel like I made her annoying D: I'm sorry.
