LANE POV

Mom and Dad must be heavy sleepers; they slept through me slamming the door and Luke screaming. He then yelled, "You can't just slam the door on your problems!" (Even though I just did.)

MARCUS POV

I was in my room texting My Lane (I'm not good with pet names but he calls me his Marky Larky; not the best in the world but it's cute). I then heard my phone buzz

LL: Halo?

MM: No thanks

LL: Y u Busy?

MM: I'm about to eat dinner

MM: Twice my bad

LL: Naw s'ok bi lulz get it?

MM: Wait there is something else I wanted to talk about

LL: Ok what is it?

MM: Have you told your parents yet

MM: Well that's good but that was not what I meant

LL: What then

LL: At least we don't have to uncle Ruth's on Sundays and listen to a crazy cult leader instead

MM: just the way it is I guess

LL: Yeah

MM: But my dad was really supportive of me when I came out

LL: Yeah but your dad is not a cult member

MM: Doesn't Linka have a friend with two moms?

LL: Yeah but our parents and her parents don't exactly get along /

MM: Oh maybe I could help?

LL: I would love it if you do that

MM: Sounds great but in case they don't accept us can we have one last sleepover?

LL: Of course how about Friday?

MM: Sounds great see you then :)

I then put down my put down my phone and went to dinner. I could tell I was going to have an amazing Friday.

MARCUS' DAD POV

My family often questions my choice to adopt Marcus instead of having a kid biologically.

Well I am an independent man who doesn't need a woman. I adopted him when he was 2. He had a couple foster homes before me, and while he is legally not my son, he is my boy.

I was cooking us dinner when Dogmeat (Marcus named him after some video game character, I guess) knocked over the food

DOGMEAT POV

Mmm food wait the hoomins yelling at me am I a bad boi? Wait I'm outside now. Wait Squirrel BORK! BORK! Now the humans talking to himself again and he thinks his name is Mama Jills silly hoomin.
