Chapter 5

Lasercorn's POV

I awoke to a familiar voice in front of me. I opened my weary eyes to see Joven at the foot of my bed.

"Morning!" he greeted as I rolled from bed.

"Morning. Why are you here?" I replied; changing quickly.

"I'm bringing you to the studio for a surprise," he told me; fluffing my hair for me.

"What kind?" I asked; getting into his car as I spoke.

He hit me in the stomach as we left my place in his car.

"You're so iddy," he teased as we rode out.

"I'm not! What kind, please?" I replied anxiously; slowly coming from sleepiness.

"Can you get my man purse please?" he asked; changing the topic as normal.

"Got it," I smiled; getting it from the back seat.

"Remember we're caring for you, big boy, not teasing you," he told me as we arrived in his car quickly.

As I got out, I felt a familiar hand hold my neck. I knew the clammy and coldness of them as it held my neck.

"Morning Lasercorn," the voice belonging to the hands greeted me.

"Morning Sohinki," I replied.

Sohinki's POV

I woke up to someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see my brother, who was my current helper, standing beside me.

"Come on! We only have an hour until they arrive," he greeted me.

"I'm coming!" I replied before getting up from bed.

Today was the day to tell and ask Lasercorn everything. I knew he would kill us when we heard the news about next month.

Lasercorn's POV

I felt Sohinki's hands hold me tight as I began to walk.

"I'm so moody and sad," he told me.

"Why?" I asked confused.

Minutes later, I entered the studio's front doors. My eyes met Joven's eyes and a plate of cookies in the work room. My content gaze was stopped by Sohinki's voice.

"No cookies," he sneered as he was shaking his head.

"Please?" I pleaded sweetly.

"NOO!" Joven exclaimed from in front of me.

"Why? I've been good," I asked confused.

I felt Sohinki's hand grab one of the eyes and drag me outside boldly.

"One lap now," he boldly ordered.

I started on my normal lap that I do with Joven every day.

"Move it! Move it!" I heard Sohinki order.

I began to run; even though I knew I couldn't for long.

"I'm a gamer, not a runner!" I yelled back as I turned the first corner.

"One can be both!" Joven replied boldly.

"But I can't!" I said; going onto the second corner.

Joven's POV

I watched Lasercorn jog around the third corner. His face was red and I knew we was out of shape. As he returned to us tiredly, I watched him lean on Sohinki.

"David, how much sleep did you get last night?" a voice asked from behind us.

"Eight," Lasercorn stammered, "That's the most sleep I've had in a week."

"What are you hiding?" it asked; placing hands on Sohinki and my shoulders.

"Nothin-," he replied with a sheepish smile.

"WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?" the voice repeated annoyed.

"Don't answer that!" Ian exclaimed; standing in front of me with Anthony and Mari beside his bony side.

Suddenly, a puppy bounded over to the tired Lasercorn. Lasercorn knelt to pick it up and looked not tired for a moment.

"Guys meet… Lola," he panted; holding her sweet and adorable puppy in his big hands.

Lasercorn's POV

Suddenly, she bounded over to me. I knelt to pick her up and felt not tired for a moment.

"Guys meet… Lola," I panted; holding the sweet and adorable puppy in my big and sweaty hands.

"This was the adorable reason you haven't been sleeping?" Joven growled.

"Yes… She was so crazy and annoying that I have been worrying crazy about her," I panted; cuddling my little squirming puppy joyously.

Sohinki's POV

"Lasercorn!" Joven shouted at the baby-talking man-child.

"What?" he asked with a happy smile.

"You're going to die soon if-," Joven began sadly.

"WHAT?" Lasercorn asked while he dropped poor and cute Lola onto the ground.

I put one hand on the tired adult's shoulder.

"Get more sleep and work out more. Also, posture has to be straight," I replied; pushing his back up straight with a smile.

Lasercorn said, "Did-."

I nodded and exposed the file from my bag that I received that previous night. It came from Lasercorn's mom. She cared for us like her own kids. When he read, Lasercorn started to cry.

"What is it?" Joven asked.

"I'M OUT OF SHAPE, NOT FAT OR CHUBBY!" he balled in joy.

Lasercorn's POV

When I read the file, I felt tears dampen my cheeks.

"Was it a prank to-," I asked confused.

"Yes and no. Yes because you are a bit out of shape. No because we're preparing you for the Sacramento Marathon. You'll be running," Joven replied; putting a strong hand on my back.

"Why am I running?" I peeped.

Sohinki's POV

What came next was amazing.

"I-no... We love and care for you. We're basically a family that isn't related," I spoke without knowing.

The group hugged the handsome running Internet gamer. I felt Lola, the puppy, nudge Lasercorn and me playfully. Lasercorn picked up the little cutie and then spoke.

"Lola is the newest member of this family," Lasercorn boldly stated with a grin and a kiss for Lola, his little dog.

The next week was amazing leading up to Lasercorn's marathon day.

Lasercorn's POV

It was the day of the Sacramento Marathon. I was ready and excited.

"Wake up marathoner," Joven awoke me with a smile.

"Morning! Thank you man," I replied; changing quickly.

A few minutes, I was starting the marathon. I listened to the people's cheers. I heard the dude yell "go." I felt someone nudge me. I turned as I started off. I saw the group cheering for me.

"You'll do great," Sohinki and Joven said loudly as I began to run.

"Thanks! I love you!" I yelled back joyfully as I joined the other runners.

I knew at the time that I was loved by them and I loved them back. At the end, I heard Lola's excited bark and I felt the group hug me.

The End. Dream on Humanity!
