Metal & Steel

began promised and farewell

"You both look so cute together i may consider talking to them into adopting both of you" kendel said, her voice pulled me out of my unconscious state of sleep, i look to the right of me, ashton was there sitting, smiling warmly at me.
"It seems like you slept well" ashton said, i nod
"Let get going you two we only have limited time to get on the plane" hazel said as she unbuckled us and unloaded us from the car.
I stare at ashton, he looked exactly like karl the eyes the hair only less greasy and matted and no beard, he sounds like a younger him to with the same purr in his voice.

"Are you alright y/n?"
He asked, i snapped out of my trance
"Yes, i am thank you for asking"
I said my voice still abit weak from being in the cold room for weeks straight."here drink this" he pulls out a bottle."it'll help with your vocal issue" he placed the bottle in my hands."lets drink that inside the building its cold out here" hazel said. I followed behind ashton.
Out of they very few times iv saw him at the orphanage. I feel safe in his presence. 'Is this what im exposed to find?' I zoned out thinking, the bottle still sitting in my hands.
"'I refuse to name him without you'"
I smiled softly at the thought, he wouldn't name his own child without me. I held the bottle in my hands looking down, somebody sets their hand on my shoulder."y/n the planes ready" ashton says as he grabs my hand"lets get going shall we?" He said as we pace over to hazel and kendel
We got on the plane, i sat down looking out the clear window it was a beautiful sight above fluffy clouds.
"Ashton? Can i ask you something?"
I say still looking out of the airplanes windows glass
"What is it?"
He replies with a confused look on his face.
"Why are you being so nice to me? Being i just met you only a few times"
I ask looking down at the bottle in my hands
"I feel a connection to you, come to think of it iv been experimented on, tortured and left in that could room for months on end. So much that i turn into a metal mutant"
He said looking up at the roof.
"I also respect you"

"Respect?"
I repeated in a confused tone

"Its no surprise you have no idea what that word is now is it?'
Ashton said with a snobby smile on his face.

"Guess im smarter then you"
He said pulling up an imaginary tie.

I chuckled a bit
"Are not"

"Are too"
He looked at me with a playful challenging face

I burst out laughing
"Im sorry i just cant take you seriously when your eyebrows are twitching" i said as i wiped the remain tears of pure joy out of my eyes.

He sets his hands on my cheeks and pushed them up to my nose
"Now your a bunny rabbit"
He said as we laughed

It didnt take long to tire ourselves out by running in the free space by the luggage carrier. We laid on the metal floor feeling every bump and careful sway of the plane soaring through the air.

"I really hope they adopt you as well y/n"
He said in a calming tone with a smile plastered ear to ear on his face.

"Adopt?"
I said twisting my head to look at him.

"They didnt tell you? Im going with a woman named miranda"
He said with such a gleeful smile.

'Mir-an-da? Miranda. Why is that name so familiar?'
I thought to myself. I cant recall anything beyond this age besides lynn, karl and the others.

"That must be great"
I said with a cheering grin on my face, staring at the roof.

I felt calm here, somewhere where i can let my guard down.

The whole rest of the flight we stayed in the luggage carriers floor at the bottom of the plane, talking about the past.

I woke up to a buzzing sound, ringing in my ears. I looked around but everything was wonky before rubbing my eyes, I was inside some kind of house, by then the buzzing had turned to a low toned vibration i put my ear up to the door, behind me ashton blew a soft flick on ny shoulder
"You arent going to hear anything from the closets"  he said with a wispy chuckle, "come on, we were just about to see if they'll take you to" he said with a huge smile on him face, I had followed him down a case of stairs and though a dark hallway he ran out the door, his hand cuffed on my wrist yanking me with him.

"one child only..."

"Might i ask why?" Said kendal
"Having two children would double complications like more food being ate, toiletries being bought more often and of course laundry being double along with clothing and shoes, we only advanced for one, im deeply sorry" said miranda, you could tell she had something devious up her sleeve, it was practically like her face and body language had been screaming it, but what had been the question i was most worried about but...

Who knew words could bring such depressing feel threw everyone...

When it had been time to go me and ashton had looked back at eachother in deep sorrow and disbelief before heading off our separate ways

I had found what i had been sent for

Too find the reason it had gone so wrong and the answer was miranda but not only her but him too...
