Where Home Is

To The Man With Red Hair & is Known As Gem's Brother

fWhip's Perspective-

fWhip walked back into his castle.

"Bridget, there will be a meeting here tomorrow at noon with the other emperors. Please get the meeting room ready. And will you put these in there?" fWhip passed Bridget the book and letter from Gem talking about Everett.

Bridget nodded and walked off.

fWhip walked up to his room and took a shower.

Afterwards, he changed into a red and black shirt and grey sweatpants before sitting down at his desk.

He saw the letter that the mysterious owl dropped off earlier.

"Oh yeah." fWhip said, taking out his letter opener, "I forgot about you."

When he looked at who it was addressed too, he got nervous.

He opened the letter and started to read it.

'Dear Gem's brother,

Hello. I am King Everett of Frost Ford. You may know our town as the town your sister has gone too. You know why as well. You should probably know that right now, I have her wand and books confiscated.

I am a fellow wizard and will not hesitate to harm your sister in any way, shape, or form if she will not tell us where she came from and why. But you have the answer. I ask a simple question, but she will not answer. I just need a location of where she came from and why she traveled far to our town. That is all. Nothing much. Please tell me and if you're thinking of how to get the owls to find me, don't worry. Just tell them to find Gem and you'll find me.

In your letter that you will send me, kindly state where you guys came from and why and I will not harm your dear sister. If you refuse to, then I am sorry to say that you will be the last remaining person in your family. Do send a letter soon. If you wait too long, I might have to resort to force and end up harming your sister. I expect a letter in three days' time. Thank you!

Sincerely,

King Everett'

fWhip read the letter and started panicking.

Three days?! THREE DAYS?! It's already been one and it might take another day for the letter to get there!

fWhip started pacing around in his room, thinking of his options.

I have to send one tomorrow. But what if I don't? Oh, but then he'll torture my sister.

Just then, there was a knock at his door.

"Come in." fWhip said, still pacing.

The door opened and fWhip heard a familiar laugh.

"Still pacing? What is it now?"

fWhip's heart skipped a beat and he blushed.

He turned and saw Sausage standing in the door frame.

fWhip quickly changed his expression to cold and furious.

"What do you want?" He barked, "You've done enough damage as it is."

Sausage sighed, "I'm sorry." He said softly.

fWhip scoffed, "Sorry isn't going to make up for it. I'm going through a lot right now. Heck the king of Frost Ford is threatening to kill my sister!"

"What?!" Sausage exclaimed.

fWhip showed him the letter and he read it.

Sausage's face turned to shock and then nervousness.

"Oh no."

"Exactly." fWhip said, snatching the letter, "It's all crumbling away."

His voice got shaky, and a tear ran down his face.

Sausage reached out to wipe it but fWhip slapped his hand.

"I'm fine."

"Clearly you're not though." Sausage said, smiling sincerely.

"Look you left me when I was already a wreck. You made me feel lower than I ever have in my life! You made me feel like there was no hope. How do I know you're not going to hurt me again?!" fWhip demanded.

"Because I was hurt too!" Sausage said, also looking like he was about to cry, "fWhip I love you! I'm sorry I left you, but I couldn't deal with you when you were like that! Always wanting to jump into action, not listening to us when we tried to calm you down, it's almost as if you wanted to be panicked!"

fWhip scoffed, "My sister is putting herself through indisputable pain and you thought I wanted that stress?!"

"We all did!" Sausage shouted.

There was a piercing silence.

Sausage took a deep breath, "We all did, babe." He took fWhip's hands, "I started to get stressed out and lashed at people more often. They found the root of the problem and it was you. I've been trying to help you, but you weren't accepting it and throwing it away. You made me feel like I was useless. Like I wasn't good enough. Like I wasn't good enough to be your boyfriend or even something more."

Sausage then got down on one knee and fWhip gasped.

"Will you, fWhip Tay, marry me?"

fWhip took a shaky breath as he ran up and hugged Sausage.

Sausage laughed and kissed fWhip.

fWhip let go of Sausage's hands and instead held his face while Sausage put his hands on fWhip's waist.

When they broke apart, they were both crying.

But not sad tears, happy tears.

fWhip smiled and cried.

He then hugged his boyfriend.

"I'm so s-sorry."

"It's okay." Sausage said, gently planting a kiss on fWhip's forehead.

"It's going to be okay."
