Dray: Okay. Quick Notes: Yule Ball was in the beginning of early December. So this is toward the middle of December. Just to make things clear! Cause I got some things planned for them during the Winter Holidays. MUWAHAHAHA!!

Sin: (Looks at the others) We're screwed, aren't we?

Theo: Aren't we always?

Sin: Touche.

Dray: You make it sound like I'm going to torture you...Okay, I am. But relax! I'm not going to kill you!

Sin: Thanks...

Dray: (Smiles) Here's the newest chapter!


Sin had been in the hospital for a total of six days and he wanted...No. He needed to get out! His father had told him that the doctors will only let him out once he had permission from his therapist, Genjo Sanzo or Mr. Stick Up His Arse. The teen sighed while his therapist smoked a cigarette in his hospital room even though it was against the law to smoke in hospitals. The two had talked about Theo for the past couple of days since that was the main reason for Sin's ulcers and stress.

"It's simple, brat. You hate him."

Sin stared at the blonde, wondering if the man heard a single word he ever said during their two hour long sessions. "What? I don't hate him. I love him."

Sanzo shook his head. "No. You hate him."

"No, I don't. I love him."

"Yes, you do. You hate him. He is the one who caused all this trouble for you."

"No, I don't and I love him. He's smart, beautiful, fun, funny, tough, fierce, and is just perfect."

"You said you hate him."

"What the bloody hell!? I never said that! Let me see your notes!" Sin grabbed the notepad from the man and stared at it. There weren't any words on the paper. Instead, there were doodles of the blonde killing and torturing him in many different ways. "What the-!? You've been drawing out how you're going to kill me!? What the bloody hell, man!? And what the hell is that!? And where the hell did the end of that stick go!?"

Sanzo took back his notepad, glaring at the teen with his violet orbs. "Respect other people's property, punk. And if you really love the annoying brat then stop self-loathing and ask him out already. Or I could always lock you up in a padded room and play Richard Simmons videos 24/7."

Sin's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "No! Gods, no! I'll ask him out! I'll ask him out! Just don't!"

The in-your-face-therapist smirked at the power he held over the heir to one of the most influential and powerful families in Europe before he said, "You'll be released tomorrow. Don't do anything stupid again. And you'll be meeting up with me twice a month. I must be an idiot but I trust you not to get into trouble and do anything moronic when you don't see me."

"Don't worry, blondie. I learned my lesson. Besides, Richard Simmons is just...disturbing!"

Sanzo smirked as he filled out a form to get the boy out of the hospital. He couldn't blame him. Richard Simmons was disturbing and just plain weird.


"I can't believe that jerk missed out on a week of school and didn't even tell anyone!"

Draco looked up from smiling and talking with Harry and raised an eyebrow at the enrage teen. "When did you start caring?"

"I don't!"

The others all didn't look convince as Theo glared and stabbed at his salad. After a while of tense silence, Pollux returned to staring at his crush while Draco and Harry talked with each other as well as Blaise and Lucas, and Castor read his book.

"Well, I'm glad you're all not worried."

They all turned to the familiar voice and saw Sin who was smirking at them. He wasn't wearing his uniform even though it was Friday. He only wore a pair of dark blue jeans, a black t-shirt that showed off his muscles and abs, and a pair of black sneakers.

"Sin!"

"Missed me?"

Lucas grinned as he hugged his older brother who hugged back. "Onii-chan! Where's Daddy!?"

Sin put on a hurt expression as he asked, "You care more about Father than me?"

The blonde brother's eyes went wide, hugging the taller boy. "No! I care about you both equally! I love you!"

Sin laughed, ruffling the golden mane. "Just kidding, Lucky. And Father has some business stuff to do so he couldn't come and visit you."

Lucas pouted while Sin just smiled at him. The younger brother then noticed something white from the corner of his eye and saw that Sin's hand and forearms were wrapped in bandages. "Onii-chan! Why are your arms in bandages!?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, Lucky. Finish your lunch. You're so skinny. You really need to eat meat."

"I can't do that! Those poor animals! I want to save them!"

Sin smiled. "I know and that's why you're a vegetarian."

Draco couldn't help but add, "Ever since Uncle got you to eat your pet chicken."

Lucas began to sob at the memory of his friend. "Mr. Clucky!"

Sin glared at Draco for bringing up that awful memory while Draco smiled sheepishly. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch and the beginning of a class. "Go on, Lucky. I'll see you at dinner."

Lucas smiled and hugged his brother before he ran off to class with Castor walking behind him. Blaise, Harry, Pollux, and Draco smiled at Sin who smiled back before they went to their own class. Sin looked at Theo who was the only one left and had his head down. "Theo?"

The brunette didn't look up at him as he said, "I-I thought you died..."

Sin walked up to Theo, lifting the shorter boy's chin with his finger making him look into his eyes. He smiled down at him. "It'll take a lot more than that to kill me."

Theo bit his lip as he said, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You have nothing to be sorry about. It was all my fault anyway. I chose to be stupid and I almost lost the best thing that could've happened in my life."

Theo looked up at Sin, confused by his words. "The best thing?"

Sin smiled as he held the shorter boy and caressed his cheek. "You, Theo. You're the best thing that has happened to me in the past two years. I've fallen for you. Hard."

"What about Corbin? What about all that's happened?"

"Corbin's gone, Theo. He's dead. I can't really love a dead guy now can I? Well, I can but that's just a little weird and creepy. And all that has happened has helped me realize that I love you. He was my past but you could be my present and hopefully, my future. I'm not trying to replace Corbin with you, Theo. I genuinely love you for who you are. You're Theodore Nott. I love you and I want to be with you."

Sin wiped a stray tear from Theo's eye, smiling down at him. Theo smiled up at him as he hugged him. "I want to be with you too. I've been waiting for four months for you!"

Sin smirked as he replied, "Well, just consider this an early Christmas present."

Theo smirked back. "Got a receipt? I decided I want an exchange."

"Ha ha. Very funny."

"Who said I was joking?"

"Hey!"

Theo laughed as he walked to class with his boyfriend who was asking him if he was serious or not. "Oh, come on! You don't mean it, right? Right!? You did wait four months for me! Hey! Come on! Answer me! Damn it, Theo!"


Sin walked into his younger brother's dorm room after he dropped off Theo at his classroom since he was excused from all his classes. He looked through Lucas' room and couldn't help but smile when he saw a stuff penguin that looked like their pet penguin, APP (All-Purpose-Penguin). He picked it up, taking in how the stuffed animal was kept clean and fresh despite all the years Lucas had it. Sin placed the penguin back onto the bed where it looked like a guard penguin.

The blunette looked at the photos on the nightstand near Lucas' bed and saw it was photos of their family and friends. There was one picture taken at the Yule Ball and luckily, Theo's date wasn't in it. There were other pictures where it mainly consisted of pictures of their family. Sin smiled before he looked around the room before he spotted something taped onto Lucas' laptop screen that was open.

He saw a strip of paper taped onto the side of the laptop screen. He saw that it was a photo strip of Lucas and Blaise that you get from photo booths. Sin raised an eyebrow, taking the photo off the screen and looked through them from top to bottom. They all looked innocent until Sin saw the last picture where Blaise was kissing Lucas who was blushing but smiling as he returned the kiss.

"ZABINI'S SO DEAD!"


Blaise blinked as he looked up from taking math notes, feeling a cold shiver run down his spine like a bad omen and looked around the classroom. "Did you guys hear something?"

Draco, Harry, Theo, and Pollux all blinked in confusion at the question but thought they heard something as well since Blaise mentioned it. The five boys looked around the room, wondering where the noise could have come from.

"Ahem. Is there something interesting that you five would like to share with the class?"

The teen boys looked back at the front of the room where Gabriel Malfoy stood smiling at them as he held a marker in his slim fingers. They all blushed while they shook their heads. The blonde man just smiled as he continued on with his lesson while Blaise had a nagging feeling in his gut that something bad was going to happen to him.


Dray: Lol. Poor Blaise. He's so screwed. And if you don't know who Richard Simmons is...YOU'RE LUCKY!! He's this fitness guy for really fat people even though he's pretty chubby himself. Lol. He's really annoying. Don't even look him up unless you want to be scarred for life. Lol.

Sin: (Glaring at Blaise)

Dray: Please review to see what happens to Blaise! Thanks!
