Day 27 Saturday morning

Richard awoke in the big bed, Slade spooning him from behind. He turned and looked at the older male, his eyes trying to focus. "I feel funny. Am I okay?"

Slade squeezed him lightly, "You're just fine little one, a bit groggy from waking up that's all. We'll wait until you feel like you can stand up."

Richard nodded and snuggled closer to the source of warmth, causing the older male's breath to quicken slightly. They stayed like this for some time until Richards stomach grumbled loudly, unembarrassed he looked up to the police officer and said, "I'm hungry, can we it eat now?"

As answer he got a soft smile and Slade got up off the bed and grabbed Richard's hand, helping him to stand. He wobbled a bit but steadied himself quickly. "Careful child", he wrapped an arm around Richards waist, speaking in a soft, soothing voice,"now we walk slowly to the kitchen to get you something yummy okay?"

That got him a happy grin, "Do you have hazelnut-spread?"

A look of distaste quickly flashed in the single grey eye, but it disappeared quickly, "Sadly not, is strawberry jam okay, too?"

The younger male's face turned serious, focusing on the hard decision,"I guess, can we buy some hazelnut-spread later?", he asked hopefully.

There was a short silence, not bothering Richard at all, it was a hard decision after all, "Fine but the supermarket is far away, the ride will take some time, let's eat breakfast first okay?" That got him a nod and a smile in return.


Breakfast was nice, even though Slade had forbidden him from making his own food ready, claiming the dull knife was to dangerous for him. The ride was really long, he fell asleep once during it. As they reached their goal Slade parked the car and spoke softly to him, "you need to behave during our little shopping trip, stay close me and don't speak to anyone expect me. Should you be addressed by an other person be polite, but nothing more. Do you agree or do we have to drive home?"

Richard nodded, he hadn't just such a boring drive only to drive home again without the yummy treat.

"Oh and we don't want to draw attention to us do we? It could get your stalker on our trail...", the younger male froze, "You will address me as father in there."it was a commanded, yet Richard nodded anyway, like a child scared of the boogie man...
