Weeping Welkin

I looked outside the floor to ceiling glass wall that is supposed to be tinted from this side of the wall. So, am I not seen completely from the outside? I don't know how that works or if it's even possible since it's the first time I've seen or heard something like this but still... It's so cool. I know Enzo picked this spot since it's in the blinds from the outside even if you looked from the other glass wall that can be seen both ways. He's too considerate and that made me felt weird emotions. Anyways, I can watch what's going on outside and it seems like they didn't know I'm here, it's kinda comforting.

"So this is what outside looks like."

The sun rays and the people created a morning atmosphere that I've never experienced even once. Small boys and girls are running around making noises that I've never heard before since it's in the rules to never make unnecessary sound inside that house, but seeing how they smile so brightly makes me create the same pleasant sounds that I don't even know I can make. I'm surprised and somewhat nervous that I'm actually breaking a rule but what I'm feeling right now is so overwhelming that I forgot I'm scared. Some middle aged women and men walking either in a hurry or slowly enjoying the time they had. It's kinda funny how some seems so busy talking in a square thingy which they seems to spoke to no one to, making them bump into each other while walking. What are they doing? I laughed as I saw another pair bumping again. I looked at some group of guys sitting beside the 'what the book described as fountain' and playing in the same square device. I don't know what that is, but I think it's dangerous since all of there attention is in that particular thing and they're actually hitting each other as they screamed in chorus. But they looks like they're actually excited and happy, well, Father used to hit me too and that makes him excited. So it really is normal after all?

"Here, I hope you like ice cream and strawberries." Enzo came back from the counter after he speak with the lady in the front receiving customers. "The food I ordered will be here soon too! It's just a pity that I'm not allowed to take you outside though, I want you to meet my friends from school and buy you clothes and some earrings!"

"I'm... Mom said, I'm not allowed to." I said as I once again looks at the group of guys across the street.

"Yeah, that sucks! But I'm quite certain you'll be able to go outside when you're ready enough. We, no Mom surely won't keep you in forever. Well for now we can just enjoy ourselves inside the building for the meantime!" He holds my hand as he scoop a spoonful of what he called ice cream. "Say, aaaahh!"

I smiled and took the ice cream inside my mouth, it sure is cold, I'm surprised. Enzo laughed as he saw my bewildered face, I can already guess how I looked like in his eyes.

"Sky~ why are you so cute?!" He pinched my nose and wipes the excess cream in my lips. " I don't know someone can be this beautiful."

I blush and hid my face from his scrutinizing adorable curious gaze. He laughed once again that just made me a lot more embarrassed and stressed, well I think in a good way?

"Dude, I'm not informed that a fag can bang chicks." A guy snorted loudly that made me look at a bunch of guys who just entered the cafe. It was the group of teenager from across the street!

"Oohh! The fag playing a straight game." The guy with a straight blonde hair sudden approaches our table sitting beside Enzo, putting his arms in his shoulders. "Can your dick even harden? I think it wants another dick though? Hahaha! Cocksucker!"

"Hey did you paid her to open up a leg for you? How does it feels from the front and not from the ass?" Another guy joined looking at me with those kind of eyes I disgust the most. "I bet you're dissatisfied and puked even before you touched her. How dare you're dirty hands do something so awful?"

"Should I call a police for rape?"

"Man, are you sure a fag can rape girls? Isn't that absurd? Hahaha"

"Hey fag, can I borrow your toy? Since you're done with her, I can recommend some hot dudes you might want instead."

"They can be hard sometimes and ruin your pretty lil' ass if you want to. Suck em' hard yeah?"

The group laughed alongside the guy who just insulted Enzo. I may not know what's going on since they seems to know each other but I know an insult when I heard one. It makes my blood boil to the point where I want to punch him. I may not know Enzo for a long time but I know how genuine and kind he is, everyone in the 13th Street was. I wanted to say something but Enzo suddenly smiled sweetly and lean closer to the blonde guy touching his ears and tracing his jaw with his sharp nails.

"Well I'm more off a top than a bottom so I can ruin your ass instead if you'd like." He whispered in his ear and I almost saw the shivers. "I can fuck you up until you can't even stand up. But I don't swing that way, I neither want some screaming bitches enjoying being rimmed or sluts who can't keep their hands to themselves."

He stands up taking my hands as he pulled me towards him, leaving the bunch of guys dumbfounded. His arms found it's way in my waist as he leads me back the elevator of the cafe in the first floor. He punched the 7th button and smiled once again as the guys looked at us unamused. I feared that they'll attack us but my breath stabilize when the door started closing.

"Well of course my service ain't cheap enough for you to afford me. Well then Ciao Adios, Bitches!"

He smirked at the guys for the last time. That seems to angered them more as I hear shouting and cursing before the door finally closes.

It was all silent for a minute as I was left looking at Enzo who just wears a satisfied smile that seems to never fade. It was so cool! He was so cool back there. I can't even do something close to defend myself but he just say that words and storm his way out so gracefully! That was so cool!

I laughed slightly, Enzo then looked at me with a sweet smile and we finally laughed. I laughed so hard feeling proud that I witnessed Enzo being... what Dustin calls it again? Sassy? I can't help but to adore him more and more.

Enzo y' 9th, the boy is only a year older than me. He looks so pretty and sophisticated even from all the cute things he wears. He's so bubbly and gigglish and cute that I didn't expect him to flip those guys again with some unexpected attitude. That mint green eyes sparkling with delight whenever I see them so I really am thankful that I got to see that side of him. I felt like I can, even though slowly, finally get to belong with them.

"I'm sorry, I said I'll show you everything in the first floor but I didn't get to show you the Boutique that Mom and Aunt Celine manages. I was hoping to get you some clothes. I want a couple outfit with you!!" He pouted. I'm glad he's back to his normal child like self, I'm kinda worried but just happy that he's not affect by their words.

There's a long corridor at the 7th floor. Unlike the first and second floor which contains the Cafe, Boutique, Restaurant and the Bar according to Enzo, the 7th floor looks like a floor with a single use.

"Here's where we live aside from the main house." He hops his way towards the door as he excitedly open the triangular automatic door. The design is actually divided into two squares linked together by a tangent line which creates a triangular to diamond movement when touched and it automatically opens up. It was so cool!

"The whole floor is for us alone! So that means~?" He held my hands and leads me towards the service area. "No Mama Allowed!!" He shouted.

"W-why?" I asked, taken aback by the policy.

"Of course we need some privacy! It's only for the boys! Mom and the other Aunties and Uncles are not allowed!!"

I just laugh seeing how enthusiastic Enzo becomes. "So shall we look inside?"

The service area was blocked by a root strips designers wall so the whole floor is partially seen from the door. Enzo said to leave the shoes to the shoe rack right beside the door and as I walked inside I understand why.

The whole floor was covered by a snow white fur! It was like walking at the back of a giant white wolf. It was so... Amazing to look at! The first in sight from the entrance is, a living room? The left wall was covered in white paint while the rest of the floor was a black wall covered with a lot of geometric shapes with a white linings. The futons and couches are facing the white wall and a square device was set up at the back before the stairs.

"That's a projector, Sky darling~ We have to watch movies using the projector. I really liked horror and action movies! I enjoyed watching airplanes and cars crush and guns and bombs and a little bit of comedy!!" Enzo was jump-hopping as he tells me a lot about what he likes even though I don't really understand what he's talking about, I just laughed since it was too cute.

"Well if we watch some romance movie like what Qeny, Dustin and Jackie wants~ it will always ends up in bed! I hate how they always have to do that when it's movie time!" He complained.

"So does that mean they can't pull an overnight? I thought they can since Brother Elijah said they had to... since it's work?" I asked.

Enzo laughed. Did I ever mentioned how he had the cutest laughed? I tilted my head since he can't stop laughing. What's so funny??

"Hahaha~ silly Sky~ I don't mean sleeping, Darling." He snorted and laughed once again.

"Then what do you mean?" He stopped and looked at me curiously. He seems like figuring out something from what I've just asked.

"Hmm~ maybe it was really sleeping?" He said.

"Anyway~ I have to show you something!!" He immediately escape running further inside the room as he avoid the previous topic. Well whatever he meant by that doesn't concern me at all, so whenever they wanted to tell me something, I'll be just glad and thankful but if not, then I don't have a choice, right? It's not my place to put my nose on.

I walked further inside where Enzo run off to, looking around. The stairs after the living room was connected to an elevation. After two steps, the elevation was covered by black fur where the bed was located. It was a large and long bed, my king sized bed from my previous house was no where near this size! It was like, 5 times longer than my bed!! It was covered in black and red and looked so soft that I can't help but to touch it. Maybe they liked sleeping together? I thought it's cute to see the ever so mature and serious Lantice and Elijah sharing the bed with Enzo and Jack. That'll probably be so adorable and hilarious.

"Do you liked it?"

I looked around as I heard that soft and alluring voice and was met by a yellowish eyes that looks like a flower blooming under the sunlight. Ashnier y' 6th, I was petrified since I only interacted with him through smiles and nods up until this very moment, so I don't know how to answer to that. Do I like what? The bed? Am I even allowed to like it? It's not mine and even if I like it, I don't think I can... use it. Well even if I can't, I do liked it a lot though.

"Are you hungry?" He asked once again as he may have realized that I can't answer him properly. Now that I think about it, we never get to have the food Enzo ordered! I'm so hungry. I looked at him again and nodded as I follow him deeper inside the house. Should I start some conversation? But I don't want to, somehow I wanted to just stay quiet beside him. Our silence was so comfortable that I don't really want or have the need to speak at all, maybe? I felt like Ashnier liked that idea too.

I'll just looked around then, I walked into some kind of play station maybe? I don't really know what's the machine inside was for but I recognized the chess board and scrables since I played some before and the little corner of book shelves and couches maybe to pass the time. I want to go see what books they liked to read in their free time but I have to follow Ashnier who seems to be walking towards the kitchen.

He opens up the cabinet above and put some machine at the top of the Island table. I sat in front of him as he readied strawberries and bananas, milk and some squares of dark brown stuffs. He cut the fruits into pieces as he put some strawberries in my mouth. I chewed slowly as I watched him licking his finger tips. He had the most luscious red lips I had ever seen as he wet it with his tongue, that looks so kissable. I wondered if he had a lover? The woman must be lovable too just like what I saw outside earlier. Somehow the though of Ashnier having some girl beside him doesn't sit right to me. I felt the inside of my stomach twisting, it doesn't feel good at all.

"What are you thinking so deeply about?"

Something cold touched my lips as I saw Ashnier leaning so closely in front of my face holding some tongs with ice. Maybe I stared at him too hard? That's so embarrassing! I laughed nervously, his golden eyes looked at me intensely that I'm afraid he's going to know what I'm thinking about. I suddenly felt so nervous about the though that he'll know how dark I'm feeling early on.

"I-i... I- I'm just wondering w-what that... that dark thing you're eating!?" I mumbled and pointed at the small squares he mince. "I- I was wondering if I can help? T- though I don't know anything about the kitchen, I- I'm sorry." I was so nervous that he might think I'm weird or something but he just cackled softly. I looked at his handsome face, It was the first time I saw him laugh.

"Come here."

He led me towards him and handed me the knife. It was my first time handling the sharp thing, unlike the utensil I used while eating, this knife is a lot bigger. He cackled again, he took my hands and assist me in cutting the squares, almost hugging me in the process since I'm so small compared to him. I nervously obliged, trying so hard to focus and ignore his breathing in my nape. He once again take some chunk and put it in my mouth, it was so sweet but has a bitter after taste. It's so effin good! I looked at him and he just smiled at my bewilderment.

"It's called chocolate bars, sweet welkin." I blushed

"W-welkin?"

"The weeping welkin, I the earth. Then must my sea be moved by her. My beloved sky."

"Shakespeare." My eyes seems to grow even bigger as he laughed softly in my expensed. What's so funny?

"Oh, you've read that?" Ashnier leaned wiping the side of my lips. "I've read it once before, I just suddenly remembered as I was thinking of what to call you."

"I-it's unrelated though."

"That's why I just took that phrase. I just thought you looked so beautiful even if you cry." He cackled again. He's so gentle and calm that I didn't mind his touch almost hugging my body, it makes me so comfortable in his arms. "I'm sorry about what happened in the office the other day."

"Oh... It's nothing. I'm fine now."

"Though you're beautiful, I hate to see you crying in pain. However, I would love it if you're tears are cause by something... good." His touch tightened and it seems like he really is hugging me now. My heart beats so fast that I'm afraid he'll hear it. I looked at him and it just so happened that he's already close enough to my face that if one of us ever move, our lips would be kissing anytime. My mind go blank, I couldn't think of how awkward it is for me to be held by someone I just met a few days ago, or the rules my father set, or the fact that someone else is walking towards us.

"OMG~..., what are the odds that Mr. I-don't-want-anyone-near-me-and-my-kitchen-unless-you're-clean guy be hugging our baby Sky in his messy fucking kitchen for the first fucking time~!?" Dustin sang teasingly while looking at us with suspicion.

I looked around and saw almost all the guys inside. What are they all doing here? Since when are they here? Right then I remembered that Ashnier is actually hugging me and I can't seem to remove his arms. I blush real hard since Elijah seems to be looking at me darkly.

"Ohoho~ our baby boy is in biiiiig trouble~" Jackson smirked at me looking like he's actually enjoying the awkward situation.

Elijah walks towards us stopping in front of me. He held his hand close enough for me to reach as he looks at me so sternly. His serious and menacing gaze reminds me of Mom whenever she wants something done but the way He's giving me chills kinda set me off the idea of him never hurting me. For the first time I felt distress in his presence. I'm afraid of angering Elijah more.

"Come here, Sky."
