His cries were reduced to small sniffles, but he refused to let go. If this was how he reacted from a scolding, how would he handle being punished.

Nikolai sighed running a hand through the soft, blonde curls.

"A-are you still dis-appointed in me?"

"Is that why you're crying bub?"

He was surprised such a simple word could evoke such a pitiful display of emotion.

A weak nod gave him the respinse he was looking for and Nikolai couldn't help but draw the boy closer.

"Well, Riley sometimes you are going to disappoint me. But it won't stay like that forever, you just have to learn from your mistakes and show me that you can do better then all is forgiven. Can you do that?"

The young boy nodded vigourously wanting so badly to be praised.

"Good boy"

Two simple words had serotonin flooding to his brain and he couldn't help the large smile that overtook his features.

Nikolai kissed his forehead then tried to remove him.

"C-can we stay like this?"

"After dinner I'll give you all the cuddles you want"

He bit his lip in concentration, though he didn't want to get up Riley decided he'd been disobedient enough for one day.

With a heavy heart he got to his feet and allowed the older to do the same.

He watched with sad eyes as Nikolai went to the kitchen, only to return a few seconds later with two plates of chicken and veggie stir fry.

After placing the dishes on the table he turned to Riley.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Apple juice"

"Apple juice what?" He queried with a raised brow.

"Please"

"Good boy"

Again he was over the moon and his sour mood from earlier was a distant memory.

Half an hour later they had finished eating.

"Go in the living room and put something on while I do the dishes"

"Do you need help?"

"No bub it's fine. Go on"

He nodded hesitantly and followed the orders he was given.

Princess Diaries played in the background, but Riley couldn't focus as he stared in the direction of the kitchen waiting for the large man to turn the corner. When he finally did, the blonde smiled brightly getting to his feet.

His movements, however, were too fast and he ended up knocking his bag off the couch spilling its contents all over the floor.

"I'm so sorry"

"It's okay"

Both men dropped to the ground to clean up the mess. Nikolai stopped in his tracks when he saw a familiar blue and white item.

He grasped it in his large hand and got to his feet.

"What's this Riley?"

"Huh-oh-uhh... It's not what you think"

"What am I thinking?"

"I was just going through some of my old stuff and I found it"

"Is there a reason why you have it with you now?"
