----------------------------------------------------------

''Why're you crying?'' I asked quietly, Keeping my hands in my hoodie pockets as I spoke, Leaning back on the bench as I did so.

The boy who I was sitting beside let out a quiet hiccup sound, Trying to get his crying under control long enough to speak.

''H-He hates me'' Felix sobbed out, His two colored eyes glistening with tears as he turned to face me.

That doesn't narrow it down at all. . .

''Who hates you?'' I asked, Awkwardly patting his shoulder as he very abruptly proceeded to wrap his arms around me and hide his face in my chest.

''My soulmate'' He managed to say between sniffles, His crying starting to subside into small whimper like sounds.

Ooh boy. . .I really don't like seeing people like him cry. . .

''What are you talking about? Chase loved you, Remember how excited and happy he was to meet you?'' I pointed out, Confused and a bit suspicious.

What did he do. . .I swear I will cause so many problems for him if he was purposefully mean to Felix. . .

I was contemplating all the trouble my gang and I could cause for Chase when Felix continued.

''No no no. . .He- He was really nice! And- And Seth was. . .Nice? Too! It's just. . .'' Felix started hesitantly, Quick to take the blame off of Chase and his apparent boyfriend with what still sounds like a fake name.

Who the fuck names their kid Seth when their last name is Baker? That's like naming your son John when his last name is Doe. . .

I stayed silent, Waiting for the slowly calming boy to speak.

''Everything was nice when Seth or Chase were around. . .But- But Seth had to take an important phone call and left me with Edward. . .'' Felix continued, Giving me a bit more information and more importantly, A name.

''I take it this Edward fellow wasn't. . .How to put it. . .A decent person?'' I questioned, Tilting my head slightly as I spoke.

My little head tilt earned me a wobbly smile from the other boy.

''I dunno. . .He was really nice and polite when the others were around, Offered to get me a drink, Told jokes, Said he was so happy when I showed them we were soulmates. . .Then Seth had to take a phone call. . .And Chase was gone driving you home. . .Edward took me aside and told me that I should go home'' Felix started, Slowly retelling what happened while he was visiting them.

''He said that he and the others were content with how many members were in their relationship. . .Said he didn't want me added onto their relationship, Said that it was interesting to meet me but that I could take my innocent act back to my own home and never return to see them again. . .He seemed very annoyed and scary. . .'' Felix whispered, Slowly pulling his knees up to his chest, No longer burying his face in my chest, Going back to sitting next to me.

People were starting to walk past and through the park by now, Many of them openly staring at Felix and I.

I better take him inside somewhere if I wanna continue this conversation. . .

''Hey. . .Why don't we get out of this park, Head somewhere. . .More peaceful, Okay?'' I offered hesitantly, Instantly catching the other boy's attention.

He scrubbed slightly at his reddened eyes before giving me a wobbly smile and a shaky nod.

Should I?. . .It might be considered mixed signals. . .But he looks so sad. . .

My heart clenched slightly at the sorrowful look still in his eyes before I gave in with a small sigh.

Reaching out, I gently held his hand, Ignoring the tingles as I led him back the path I had taken, Leading him to my home.

While we walked, He quietly opened up about a few more things.

''I was so excited to meet them, I thought they'd be like you''

Oh honey no. . .

''Their relationship looks so loving and amazing. . .I just wanted to be part of that''

Valid reason, Who doesn't want to be part of a loving relationship? Be it platonic love or romantic. . .We all want someone to connect and bond with. . .

''What did I do wrong? Was I too forward? Did they just think I was ugly?''

You did nothing wrong from what I can tell. . .I'm not an expert though. . .Not even remotely ugly. . .

''Oh Ash, I messed up, I'm so sorry I messed up, You went out of your way to set me up with Chase, You even helped me talk with him when I was nervous and I just messed it up. . .''

''You didn't mess up and you don't need to apologize to me. I don't know why he acted that way towards you but I will find out. Stop crying, It's going to be okay, Got it?'' I muttered when we reached my house, Turning to face the once again teary eyed boy.

I really don't like that look on him. . .

He looked surprised but slowly, Another weak smile formed on his face.

''Where. . .Where are we?'' He asked as I unlocked the front door.

For goodness sake child. . .You're supposed to ask where people are taking you before following them. . .

''At my place'' I answered simply, Swinging the door open and leading the ginger inside.

His eyes widened at that, Excitement clearly starting to slowly replace his previous sorrow.

Well that was quick. . .

He kept quiet though as I locked up behind us and led him towards my room.

''It's. . .Cozy in here'' He said eventually after having walked all around my room, Curiously poking at prodding at different items I had.

I just watched all of this from my bed, Half sitting, Half laying on it.

Just like bringing a new pet home, Gotta leave it to check out it's new surroundings. . .

Seemingly done exploring for now, Felix moved towards my bed before hesitating.

I was about to get up so he could sit down on it when he did something unexpected.

He proceeded to lay down partly over my legs, He head propped up on his hands right above my groin.

I. . .He. . .What the fuck.
