A New Light In Life

House Dynamics

~~Finn's POV~~

Oh. I knew that my plan will not work, but I didn't know that I would have options in the end. 

The first option is out of the way since there is not really an aunt for him to talk to, and I don't know anyone here that I could ask to pretend to be my aunt. 

The second one is also not that feasible since I would need to get interned and yeah I don't think that that could sound good, even more, I don't have the money to sustain myself let alone to pay for a private institution. 

So the only option left is for me to stay with them until I finish high school in a couple of months or even a year since I don't actually have my academic transcript and would need to do some extra courses or make a GED. I don't think that I will be able to afford college by myself since aerodynamic engineering is a pretty expensive career.

~~Malek POV~~

I could see all the possible outcomes flash through his mind. His face was at first conjuring some kind of plan, but it seem that he gave up on it pretty fast, then he moved his head from one side to the other as if saying that something was obvious, to finally finish with a face full of resignation and concentration.

"However, I need to explain to you the dynamics that happen in our house. Everything that is done here is consensual either by the participating people or just the people around," I said to the boy. I don't want to expose him to things that he doesn't want or is comfortable with; it would be easier for him and me if he were to stay with us, but if he is not fine with how things are here, I can get in contact with some shelters or a temporary housing program.

When I said that I didn't see any kind of fear or concern but more like pure curiosity.

"Things are like this. Everyone here is in some kind of relationship with the others. Not everyone is in a sexual relationship with everyone, some do, and some don't. Kyle, the one that you met first is more like a caring brother to most of the guys here, he is in a romantic relationship with me, Chris, and Joseph, and he is in a sexual relationship with whoever wants, he is what you would call a free spirit," I observed his reactions to what I was saying to see any indices of a future problem with that, but he just seems like I dropped a lot of information all at once.

"...Can I write that down? I believe that you are going to go through all of them," He says with a kind of anxiousness to not forget everything that I just said.

After he finished making notes, I continued, "Chris, besides Kyle is in a relationship with Evan, Elian, Elia, and Joseph, he is a really good friend with little Matt, which I am pretty sure could be yours, and towards me, we are in a BDSM relationship in which he is my pet," I made emphasis on the last part, this type of relationship is not that easy to understand or accept, well taking out of context the poly relationship that could already be difficult to digest.

When I saw that he was just writing down information and made no comment, I saw it appropriate to continue, "Evan, besides Chris, he is also in a romantic relationship with Joseph, he is little Matt's Daddy, and really good support when you need him. He is all ears."

"Joseph, you could say that is the center of all of us since he is in a romantic relationship with everyone, but just in a sexual relationship with me as my sub."

"Both Elian and Elia are in a relationship with Joseph and Chris, and they have a really knit relationship between themselves, so if you see one of them, the other is not far away."

"Little Mat is in a relationship with Joseph, he's Evan's little prince, and I am his secondary caregiver. Evan even if he doesn't seem like it, can be a real softy sometimes, so I am in charge when someone is in a need of punishment."

"And finally as for me, I am in a relationship with Kyle, I am Chris's owner, Joseph's Dom, Little Matt's Papa, and everyone's guardian," I give him some time to absorb all the information and decide if he is able to live in a place where all of this takes place.

"Sooo? Did you have an answer?"

As I saw that he already had an answer, but was not really into it, I tried some more.

"How about this? You will sign this IOU that you will pay back once you leave this place, and the amount in the IOU is all the money that you will need either for clothes, school, or any other expenditures that you might have during your stay. How does that sound?"

I could see a light illuminating his face. He looked like he could finally see light at the end of a dark tunnel. The IOU is more like a way to reassure him than for practicality since legally anything signed by a minor without the supervision or consent of their tutor is not legally binding. I think I understand some of his emotions right now since I was once in his place years ago, so having something as a way to ground oneself and to keep your mind at ease that you are not taking things from someone for free or that you would be in debt to them without knowing what they would want in exchange and just having that threat hanging on top of your head is not a comfortable feeling. I am happy that I am able to return the favor to them by doing the same for this kid.

"Ok, I will choose the third option, and I will sign the IOU."

I looked up some templates for an IOU, and after I signed it I passed it to him. He took this fake document pretty seriously and read every part of it and even searched for small letters what made me almost laugh is that he pointed the paper towards the lamp to see if it had some kind of invisible ink or any other kind of scheme to trick him.
