Another short one-shot! :D I have been motivated by Daichu, who put me on their author alerts, so I wanted to give a shout-out! Also, I want to again thank anyone who has reviewed my work so far or even just read it. It makes me smile to know that someone is interested! The inspiration for this one was Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. Trust me, it makes no sense. ^.^
This actually hasn't been edited very well, so if anyone spots errors of any sort I would be thrilled if you could point them out. Thanks a lot, guys!
Disclaimer: Still not mine! Nor is the song which this is based off of!
Erik had always absolutely despised anyone under the age of 18. It could've been the lack of intelligence, or even the childish air they all held. He wasn't exactly sure what it was, but those big doleful eyes they used on adults unnerved him to no end. Then the later years came and they became positively unruly.
Which was why it surprised him that now, twenty years after finally finding his love, he felt his eyes tear up at the sight of an adult take the place of his child. His lover had insisted on raising a child together; how could he resist those eyes that had somehow been preserved for adult years as well as child? So, eighteen years ago, they adopted a little boy named Harry to raise as their own. Those eighteen years had been hell for the man who had always gotten his way, but now he regretted not enjoying them more.
As the child turned to wave one more time at his parents, Erik lost it. He started sobbing openly. He had finally done something right in his life and it showed in the happy eyes of his son. Harry gave him a reassuring smile, having been warned beforehand that this might happen, and turned to enter the carriage that would take him away.
Erik watched through teary eyes as he left, sad yet so happy. It was an odd combination, but it helped that his lover held comforting arms around his waist, head resting on his shoulder.
"Our little boy's grown up, Erik," came a familiar sigh, "Now whatever will we do with the sudden free time?" Erik laughed shortly, turning his head to give a chaste kiss in reply.
"Let's get another?" he suggested, closing his eyes as it received a warm chuckle. Erik smiled but quickly turned it to a sneer. "Don't laugh at me, fop. It was just an idea."
Raoul shook his head and laughed, "Not at you, dear. Never at you. It's just the thought of another eighteen years..." He shuddered and it was Erik's turn to laugh at him.
"Alright," he murmured, "Let's wait a bit then. I'm perfectly fine with staying with you, anyways." Raoul's content smile was the only response he would need. Sighing happily, he led his husband back into their home.
Hope you enjoyed! Reviews would be nice, but they're not required! Hope you liked! (Lots of exclamation points, I know!)
