Humming Witch: My GOD, I finally got my lazy ass working on this. (oAo) I'm so sorry to those of you who have been waiting so long for this - please forgive me! I was on vacation for the first week of summer break, but, I promise you, I will try to my best to upload more chapters~! Trust me, I myself have missed a lot of this Kyle and Barrett goodness. They're one of my fav. pairings. Some of the stuff in this chapter is very old - I worked on it for a few months then stopped then started back up again today, so, just thought I should tell you. Please enjoy~ (^_^)

Kyle's POV

I woke up the next morning with my back to Barrett. I flipped over to my other side and cuddled up with him a bit again, closing my eyes to his warmth. I feel like falling asleep again. So that's exactly what I do.

ARIA'S POV

I woke up and yawned. I threw the blankets off of me and slid off the bed with ease. I wonder if Daddy's awake yet?

I Walk out into the hall and into Mommy and Daddy's room.

"Daddy?" I ask, wondering if he's still sleepy.

I waited a while and got no response. I looked at Daddy and Mr.. Barrett hugging, it reminded me of Mommy.

Wait... The snow's not so bad... Maybe Mommy's gonna come home early?

I climb up onto the bed, and sit at the foot of it.

"Daddy! I think Mommy might be coming home soon, the snow's cleared up a bit! Maybe you and Mr. Barrett should stop cuddling so that she doesn't get upset."

As soon as I said this, Mr. Barrett's eyes opened. He shook Daddy a bit.

"Kyle. Kyle. Kyle. Wake up."

"Mmmph, w...whaaattt?" Daddy asks, sounding sleepy and rolling around a bit. He slowly sits up and rubs his eyes.

"Mana might be coming home early-"

Daddy's eyes widened.

"WAIT- WHAT- BUT SHE CAN'T BE COMING BACK JUST YET AND-" Daddy then looked at me. "A-Aria! When did you get here?"

"A few minutes ago." I reply, crawling over to sit in Daddy's lap.

KYLE'S POV

Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit OH SHIIIIT! What if Mana comes early and sees all of this? Why didn't I think ahead? Argh, I'm such an idiot! I hang my head down in shame as Barrett sits next to me, not saying anything, while Aria is on my lap.

Barrett puts and arm around my shoulder.

"Don't worry, she's probably still gonna stay there, but just to be sure, lets get dressed and stuff in case she does come back home."

"A-alright..."

He quickly kisses me on the cheek and I hug Aria.

"Aria... Go to your room and pick out an outfit... I'll be there soon, just wait, k, sweetie?"

"Ok, Daddy!"

I kiss her forehead, and she slides off the bed, walking back out into the hall and to her room. I sigh.

"... " Barrett stays silent as he moves closer to me and wraps me in his arms. I blush and kiss him quickly.

"Barrett, I don't wanna get up."

"Gosh, you sound so lazy. Come on, we have to."

I made some sort of weird groan noise and wriggled around a bit. He laughed.

"If you don't get up I'll ass-rape you soon."

"You leave my ass alone!"

"Only if you get up."

I made another groaning sound. "Fiiine."

I slowly get up out of bed with Barrett by my side.

"Let me help you get dressed," he says, un-buttoning my shirt.

I blush and look away.

"N-no, you don't have to-"

"But I wanna."

"..."

He takes off my shirt and lets it fall to the ground with ease.

"You never clean up anything, do you, Kyle?"

"Nope."

"So it's Mana's job?"

"Yup, I guess so."

"God, Kyle, you're the laziest person I know. I'm surprised you can grow crops."

"Hey, I am 26. I think I should be able to at least grow some crops"

"You're 26?"

"Yes. You?"

"Same."

"Oh."

We stand in silence for a bit. Barrett slides his hands up and down my torso for a bit, before wrapping his arms around me once more.

I hide my face in his chest.

For a while, it feels like we're the only two people in the world. It feels like nothing could go wrong - and that nothing will go wrong. It feels amazing - to be with this man that I love more than life itself.

Yes, I love Barrett a lot - but, at the same time, I'm worried about Aria.

I don't know if she's worried or what - is she really ok with me cheating on her mother like this? I feel like a horrible father, but, I can't not love Barrett...

I feel tears at the edges of my eyes. I can't hold them back anymore after a while, and I start crying. Barrett holds me tighter and strokes my hair with a free hand.

"Don't cry, Kyle... Everything will be alright..."

I wish that were true, Barrett.

I wish I could stop.

I cry too much for my age.
