Ozzy and Aziz cute moments! Featuring Aziz being stubborn about how hurt he actually is, Ozzy's school troubled and tidbits of wonderland lore! For the record, the Cheshire Cat is a good dad. Just letting you all know now that I am capable of writing good parents.

"I'm so glad you're ok," Ozzy hummed, burying his head in the crook of Aziz's neck.

"So you've told me," Aziz said, running his fingers through Ozzy's hair.

They were lying down on his bed, Ozzy's arms wrapped around his neck as he hovered a bit over him. They learned really quickly that Aziz wasn't exactly the best at handling people putting their weight on him, especially on a bed. He never pushed the topic, and Aziz never really wanted to explain, so they found a good way to compromise.

And besides, it's not like Ozzy did anything but float around.

"Did you actually get kidnapped?" Ozzy asked, pulling away slightly to look at him properly, "It's been going around the school."

"Of course it had," He grumbled, "Yeah, I did."

"Holy shit Aziz!" Ozzy snapped, getting up immediately, "Are you ok? What happened? Please tell me you weren't hurt too badly."

"I wasn't I promise," Aziz said, sitting up, trying to contain the wince at the sudden shift in his leg, "Just a few broken bones."

"Broken bones?" Ozzy asked, eyes widening, "Aziz, that's bad!"

"It's not, I'm fine!" Aziz said, "I promise you, I'm ok."

Ozzy sighed, rolling his eyes.

"You always say that," He said.

"That's because I am, kitten," He hummed, wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling the hovering boy closer to him, "Don't worry too much about me."

"If you keep acting like this with me, people are going to think that we're dating again," Ozzy hummed, a soft smile playing at his lips.

"Let them talk," Aziz said, "It's not like they have anything better to do."

Ozzy grinned down at him, glittering out of sight, leaving behind his smile before that too disappeared. Moments later, Aziz could feel arms wrapping around him from behind, pulling Aziz close to him.

"How was your test?" Aziz asked, glancing over at him.

He could hear the groan that Ozzy let out as he felt him press his head again his shoulder. Judging by the sudden weight on the bed behind him, Ozzy had stopped hovering, dropping down onto the bed.

"You didn't do well, did you?"

"I completely flunked it," He mumbled.

"It was about your home, how did you fail?" Aziz asked, glancing over at him.

"My answers were right!" He exclaimed, "Well, they were wrong with the actual context, but they were the book's answers. All I did was point out that the book was unreliable and blatantly wrong when I turned it in, and my teacher fucking failed me for 'talking back' or something."

"What the fuck?" Aziz asked, turning around fully, "You're going to tell FG, right? Because that's not a good reason to fail you."

"This teacher hates me enough," He mumbled, "And besides something tells me that it's not going to do much."

"You could get your classes transferred," He suggested, "You're so smart, you shouldn't be failing."

A light blush dusted across his face with the praise. 

"You're so cute," Aziz said, a hand reaching up and gently scratching at Ozzy's ears.

This caused a small purr from the other boy, causing his blush to deepen as he ducked his head.

"Aziz, stop," He whined, "You're embarrassing me."

"Alright," He hummed, letting go, "If you insist."

"No, don't stop, I was kidding," He exclaimed, taking his hands again.

"So needy," Aziz teased, "Does your dad know you failed yet?"

"I called him after," Ozzy said, looking down, "It was really embarrassing honestly, I was so frustrated that I was crying."

"Understandably," Aziz said, "That's nothing to be embarrassed of."

"My dad wanted to raise hell," He said rolling his eyes, "You know how he is, he gets so protective."

It wasn't a secret to anyone just how protective the Cheshire cat was over his son. After what had happened to Ozzy's mother, no one could really blame him. Aziz knew for a fact that he hated seeing his son upset, so the news that he wanted to 'raise hell' wasn't much of a shock.

"He's your dad, of course he's worried about you," Aziz said, "You and your grades."

"He said he was gonna stop by soon," Ozzy said, "He wanted to talk to FG." 

"Good," Aziz said with a small smile, "You want help for your next test kitty?"

"Aw, you'll help me study?" Ozzy said, excitedly, "You're too kind to me."

"Hush, kitty."
