Chapter fourteen! =D I do not own Harvest Moon!

"Jared, Nat, Hunter just left-," Leo walks into the bedroom and stops talking as soon as he sees his two brothers. Jared and I freeze as we hear Leo's voice. "L-Leo, we… uh… didn't hear you coming up the stairs…" Jared mumbles nervously as he gets off of me. Leo's eyes are wide with shock as he stares at us with his mouth slightly open. I glance away, embarrassed. "Please don't tell Daddy and Dad…" I say quietly. "I… won't…" Leo says slowly. "God, I can't believe you two were… I mean I always sort of thought that you two… But I never thought you would act on anything…" I can't tell if Leo is talking to us or himself.

We all were silent for a few minutes before Leo spoke again. "I won't tell Daddy and Dad, I promise. And, uh, I just leave you two alone for now…" Leo says nervously before slowly backing out of the room. "No, it's, uh, fine. We were done anyways," I lie as I smooth out my hair and clothes. "How long have you two been… dating?" Leo seems uncertain that 'dating' is the right word. "About six months," Jared replies.

About half an hour later Daddy and Dad come back home. Leo, Jared and I are all watching TV in the living room. Leo is quickly getting use to the fact that Jared and I are dating. "Hi, Daddy. Hi, Dad," the three of us say to our parents. "How are Uncle Kai and Uncle Rick?" We call them our uncles because Kai and Rick are around so much that they seem like part of the family. "They're good. Oh, and they're thinking of adopting a little boy who's around your age," Cliff says happily. "Really?! Awesome! We'll have two friends now!" Jared says excitedly. "What about Eli and Doctor's little girl Jenelia?" Gray asks. "She's a girl, Dad! Girl's have cooties!" Jared says in disgust and Leo and I both laugh. Gray and Cliff both roll their eyes.

"Well you're going to have to get over that because Jenelia, Eli, and Doctor are coming over in about half an hour," Cliff says with a grin. "What?! If I get cooties it's your fault, Daddy!" Jared complains. Everyone except Jared bursts out laughing. "It is so not funny!" Jared huffs, which causes everyone to laugh harder.

Half an hour later a girl with black hair that goes down to her shoulders and beautiful ocean blue eyes arrives at the door, her parents – Eli and Doctor – come up behind her. "Jenelia, hi!" I say brightly as I greet them. "And hi Aunt Eli and Uncle Doctor!" "Hi, Nat," Jenelia says shyly and blushes. I can feel Jared glaring at her. Jared doesn't like the fact that I'm friends with Jenelia and he keeps saying that she's going to steal me away from him. But that's impossible because I love Jared too much to leave him.

Eli and Doctor go into the kitchen to see Daddy and Dad and my brothers, Jenelia and myself go upstairs to our bedroom to play. "Let's play house!" Jenelia says excitedly. "House is for girls," Jared says and glares at Jenelia. "I. Want. To. Play. House!" Jenelia says angrily and Jared looks at her with wide eyes. "Okay, okay, we'll play house!" he says with his hands up in surrender. "Okay, I'll be the mommy, Leo will be the baby, Jared will be the doggy and Nat will be the daddy!" Jenelia says excitedly. "Why do I have to be the dog?!" Jared says unhappily but I can tell he's also very upset that Jenelia is making me the dad and herself the mom. "Because you act like a whining puppy!" Jenelia says happily and I burst out laughing.

After a while of playing house Jenelia says that I have to 'go to work'. "Okay, I guess I'll go to work for a bit…" I say with a sigh as I start to head out of the bedroom. "Wait! You have to give your wife a good-bye kiss first!" Jenelia says as she grabs my arm. "What?! I don't want to, though!" I say unhappily. Jared is glaring daggers at Jenelia and Leo is trying to calm him down. "Kiss. Me!" Jenelia says angrily and I flinch away from her. "I, uh, bye!" I yell before running out of the room and down the hallway. "NAT! COME BACK HERE!" Jenelia yells as she runs after me.

Jared's POV

"She is so dead if she even tries to kiss my Nat," I snarl. "Please calm down, Jared. It's just an innocent little crush. Plus, Nat is gay. He's not going to leave you for Jenelia," Leo says softly as he pats my shoulder. "I know he won't leave me, but I still don't like Jenelia flirting with him twenty-four seven," I say unhappily. "LEAVE ME ALONE, JENELIA!" we hear Nat scream from downstairs. "We'd better go save him," Leo says with a sigh.

When we get downstairs we see Nat hiding behind Daddy with Jenelia trying to grab his arm to drag him back upstairs. Nat sees me and runs over to hide behind me. "Jared! Save me!" Nat says as he presses his face into my back. I glare at Jenelia angrily. "Nat said to stop, so stop," I snarl and Jenelia's eyes go wide and she starts to tear up. "Mommy! Jared isn't being nice!" she sobs and Eli hugs her tightly. I stare at her in disbelief. "Jared, you should be nicer to Jenelia. She wasn't hurting Nat," Daddy says softly as he pats my head. "But, Daddy! She was making Nat upset!" I say sadly and hug my adorable brother. "Are you okay, Nat?" Cliff asks worriedly. Nat nods sadly and presses his face against my shoulder.

I lead my beloved Nat upstairs to our bedroom and we sit down on the bed. "I'm sorry I didn't come save you sooner," I say softly as I kiss his forehead. I want to give him an actual kiss but I can't with so many people at home. "I love you, Jared," Nat says softly. "I love you too, Nat," I reply and brush his hair out of his face. Leo wanders up stairs a few minutes later. "Jenelia, Aunt Eli, and Uncle Doctor are heading home," he says and smiles at us. "Finally that brat is going home," I say angrily and Nat caresses my cheek. "Stop being angry, I'm fine," Nat says and gives me a quick peck on the lips. "Okay," I say and sigh.

End chapter fourteen.

Next chapter will be focused on Hunter and Leo's relationship. I'm sorry that there were so few chapters of just Cliff and Gray. But I'll try and post a chapter about just them soon. Hopefully before chapter twenty unless I think of a really good plot twist or whatever for the guys. Please R&R! If you have any chapter suggestions I'll write it for you and dedicate the chapter to you! =D
