The House of Wolves -16-

---OLI POV---

They way Josh looked at me when he saw Blake standing behind me was unreadable. I couldn't pick up any feelings, or emotion from his facial expression, and from the looks of it, he didn't know how to think either. I suddenly realised that it seemed like I had got Blake for us to keep seeing as we can't have children, but he followed me home and that's all I know.

I didn't even realise Blake had been behind me the whole time, but I guess he had just been hiding.

Although I didn't know Josh's thoughts, when he looked at Blake, he seemed as though he found him really sweet, which pleased me.

I stood, speechless, staring at Blake as he obliviously played with his hands, waiting for someone to let him inside.

'Oli..?' Josh reminded me I needed to answer. I snapped out of my own thoughts, and jerked as I looked at him having forgotten what he had asked me.

'Oh...basically, I slept in the woods for a couple nights,' I began, as I looked at Josh's expression and already, he looked concerned.
'Don't worry, I was fine, Josh. Anyway, I woke up to Blake,' I said as I pointed at him, standing so innocently by the door. 'Who was right up against my face, and he lost his parents so I looked after him for a while.' I said, as I left time for Josh to acknowledge my speech. Me nodded and gestured me to carry on, so I did.
'He found his house just across the road from the wood, and his parents, Taylor and Andy let me stay but then you called the police so I had to leave. I didn't know that he was behind me but I guess he was.'
I looked at Josh as I finished, and again, his face was completely blank. I could tell he didn't know how to react either, because neither of us knew how long Blake would stay, and what his parents think.

For a moment I saw a flash of anger in Josh's eyes, but then he overcame that fear and showed how he really felt about Blake.

I never saw the child loving side of Josh, but suddenly I saw him as the most perfect, most beautiful father I have ever seen.

I smiled at the sight of Blake's broad smile whilst looking into Josh's blue eyes, their eyes almost identical, making me happier than ever.

I walked behind Josh, sliding my hands underneath his arms around his waist, hugging him and smiling at Blake as he was held in Josh's arms. I moved my head up to Josh's cheek and kissed it, slowly and lovingly, making him smile back at me.

I realised Andy and Taylor had no recollection of where their beautiful son was, but I never wanted him to leave, I felt as though we had a connection, Blake and I.

I couldn't bear to think about leaving Blake behind any longer, so I sat him in the front room whilst I spoke to Josh in the kitchen.

'What do we do with him?' I asked Josh, completely confused as to whether to give him back or not.

'Well, he should go back with his parents, Oli, he is their son after all.' Josh reminded me, smirking slightly towards the end of his sentence.

I shrugged my shoulders slightly as I looked down at the floor, trying to hide the fact that I wanted to keep him to ourselves. Josh looked at me, and showed that he understood my each and every feeling. His hands intertwined with mine as he pressed himself up against me, forehead to forehead.

'Oli, Blake can't stay here forever. He has his parents, just like you and I as kids.' He whispered before gently kissing my lips and pulling away.

'I know, I respect that. Although, I just feel like we have a kinda connection, you know?' I tried to hold back the emotion that was building up inside of me as I imagined having to give him back to his wonderful parents, Taylor and Andy.

'Taylor and Andy are wonderful, Oli. Or at least they sound it.' Josh smiled and let out a small laugh, which sounded more nervous than anything but I chose to ignore this. I was about to speak when Josh opened his mouth to speak so I stopped myself and allowed him to go first.
'Do you have any contact with Taylor or Andy?' Josh asked me as if to say we could look after Blake for them if needed.
I shook my head against his forehead which was still pressed against mine, like a perfect fit.

I heard Josh's phone vibrating, which was a rarity since I had returned. He reached into his pocket and nearly hung up but answered.

'Hey Max' he greeted who I guessed was Max, with a dull tone.

'And? It's not like I'm really going to give a shit anyway. You obviously don't want to be around me anymore, what with ignoring me whilst Oli was gone and stuff. First you don't like that me and Oli are together, and then when he leaves you're as miserable as fuck, what's wrong?' He was almost shouting now as I made sure Blake wouldn't hear. He was still his happy self watching television in the other room.

Josh hung up on Max half way through his muffled voice was talking. He rolled his eyes and said, 'he's in hospital.' In a tone filled with hatred.
'How?' I asked, curiously but still without without an inch of care within me.
'When you beat him up, apparently he 'had a black eye and his visions blurry' Josh said the last bit in a mocking voice, and waved his arms around to suggest Max was completely overreacting. I was shocked, but then again half of my brain thought about how much Max had exaggerated, and I then mocked Josh's voice whilst impersonating Max. We then laughed for a good minute, then I walked through to check on Blake, who was still laughing to himself about something on the TV.

He didn't realise I was there, and I took advantage of this. I stood by the door for a few minutes, just trying to make up my mind of whether to take him home. I felt Josh's arms wrap around my waist like he always does, but this time it felt so much more comforting, like we really were soulmates and nothing could ever tear us from eachother.

'Daddy!' I heard Blake's childish voice cheer, as he pointed at me. A wave of guilt flooded my body as Josh released his hug around my waist, and we both stood, speechless.

Anyway, thank you, as always, for all your support! This chapter was more of a filler chapter, but oh well, enjoy!
