Clay and Cole came back from their trip to the human realm. Akira followed behind as they all were laughing


"What's so funny?" Blanca asks as the men sighed and sat down


Cole: I made Clay think George was gone

Akira: Seems like Cole still has the same personality when he was born, huh?

Blanca: *sigh* Yep

Clay: *grinning evilly* Yeah, and I almost threw a thick pine tree at you, enough for it to hurt like a blade cutting you

Cole: Relax, he said he planned it too

Clay: Which is why you're still alive

Blanca: Clay!

Akira: Leave him be, they were just playing

Clay: Sure

Cole: Of course


Clay sighs as he looks at the photos his mom took 2 years later. Clay smiled as he noticed Cole looked happier in all of them


Blanca has told him how Cole was back then, a troublesome child, and slightly worse than Clay, which is why Clay can't stay mad of what Cole did


He uses his watch and enters the portal, seeing the familiar treehouse George's father built. It was still in perfect condition


George took care of it well, but there were a few leaves on the roof, the bell he used to use to call him was a bit dull, but it shows that George had waxed it and cleaned it to make it last long, and the hammock along with the shelves of books and journals from his studies in middle, high, and college homework was still there


What made Clay smile more was the little blue bear on the hammock, clean and still looks new and the same as ever when he first met George


"Clay," a voice called from behind as Clay turned to see Cole. "I'm sorry, but George told me to do that because he said you still felt protective like back then."


Clay: It's alright

Cole: I don't know what you two have been through or how you met, but I'm happy you two have found each other, heck, I didn't know you were gay

Clay: Really?

Cole: Listen, I too sensed a bit of why you well for this human. George is an amazing human, and are those his things?

Clay: This treehouse was built by his father. He requested it because back then, he used to visit me inside a cave I hid when I entered the portal our father came through

Cole: Oh

Clay: George didn't wanted to make his parents suspect he was with me, so the treehouse was his safest lie, yet truth, to keep me a secret

Cole: He's really brave to keep you hidden, for how long?

Clay: Years. I was around 6 years old when I came here, and Akira came around when I was like 19, I think

Cole: And George protected you from the world?

Clay: Yes, and I love him for that, even though I did get caught, but I was not taken away, because I knew and learned how to hide from them
