My Boy

Chapter 6 - Changes

When we wake up we get ready and walk down stairs. I find my mom making breakfast. "Good morning boys. Did you sleep well?" She asks. "Yeah." I say. "Mmm." Edmund groans, We sit down at the table and my mom sits down with us, now or never I think. "Hey um, Mom,"

"Yeah."

I look over at Edmund and he nods. "Umm, me and Edmund are dating."

She looks surprised and then nods, "Okay, that's great. Thank you for telling me."

"Wait, you're not mad, like you're not going to set rules or anything?" Edmund asks shocked. "No I trust you guys, I know you won't be like most reckless teens, you guys aren't like that anyway." She says walking to the kitchen counter. "I have work again, I'll be home late, sorry, you guys do whatever I don't care." She says walking to grab her keys. "Kay love you!" I shout after her. Edmund looks at me, " I'm going back to sleep." He says, yawning. "Why, we can do anything we want." I say following him, "Cause I'm tired." He says sitting on my bed. "Okay then," I say, he curls up on the bed and falls asleep quickly. I watch him sleep for a bit and then I lay next to him and fall asleep.

When we wake up it is mid-morning. And I find a pile of things on the kitchen counter when I walk in there, I see a note and I read it,

Hey Congrats on you and Edmund dating, We miss you here at school love you guys

-Kim and the guys

I smile, god I love them. "Q, what is it?" I hear Edmund ask from the stairs, "Oh just some things from my friends, well our friends." I say looking up at him. He smiles and walks over to me, We go through the pile and find snacks, movies, fuzzy socks, books, writing supplies, etc. We sit on the couch and put on one of the movies and eat some of the snacks we got. After a while I get a notification on my phone.

The school will be closed down for a little while due to threats, we are very sorry and are trying to figure everything out thank you for your patience. (A/n:This is based off of something that happened at my school last year) 

"Damn, I didn't realize we were getting threats." I say

"Well we haven't been at school lately and we aren't in the loop." Edmund chuckles. "Yeah, I mean I feel like someone would tell us."

"Maybe they thought that we knew?"

"Yeah maybe..." I say putting my phone down. After we finish the movie I check my phone again, no messages, no notifications, nothing. "Hey, it's okay, don't overthink it. Your friends will talk to you soon, I know it. And if they don't you always have me." Edmund says, smiling. I smile back at him. He's so fucking adorable. "Thanks." I say back to him. He smiles once more.

After a little while of watching TV I got tired so I took a nap. I laid my head on Edmund's shoulder and slowly fell asleep. When I wake up Edmund is stroking my hair, I look at the TV and see another show playing, My Hero Academia. I sit up and Edmund looks at me. "why hello there." He jokes. "Hi." I say. "How long was I asleep?" I ask. "A few hours," He says, pausing the TV. "Oh," I say in response. "Yeah you looked really tired." He says. "I was." I say . He chuckles at me. " What do you want to do for the rest of the day?" He asks. I shrug. "I don't know." He smiles. "We could watch this show?" He says. "Sure, I need to ketch up anyway." I say. "you know you are really tired today, Q" Edmund says. "I know. It's weird." I say. He chuckles and turns the tv on.

After a few hours of watching mha we decide to walk to the park. "So, what are we going to do when we get back to school?" I ask Edmund. "I have no idea but we'll figure it out." He says. I nod and kick a rock. Once we get to the park I see a small family having a picnic, "I wish my family was like that." I say nodding over to them. "Same, but whatever, we still have each other." Edmund says. I nod and smile at him. We sit on the swings and talk some more. About school, family, friends. As we talk a little boy walks up to us. "Hi." Says the boy. "Hello." Edmund says, smiling at the boy. "Harry!" The boy's mother shouts. "oh, I'm sorry." She says grabbing her son. "It's fine we don't mind." I say. She nods and walks away quickly. The family leaves the park quickly. "What was that about?" I ask. "What do you mean?" Edmund ask. "They seemed like they wanted to leave, I don't know they seemed like they thought we were going to do something to them." I say. "Well, maybe a bit I guess. I wouldn't be surprised, I mean two teenage boys at the park." He says. "We should probably get going." I say. Edmund nods and we start to walk back to my house.

On our way back to the house I see a few boys riding their bikes in the distance, I don't think much of it until I see Kyle. Shit. My hand immediately shoots to Edmund's. He looks at me and then he sees Kyle. We keep walking, faster this time not saying anything. Kyle starts to get closer and closer. "Hey! losers!" He shouts at us. I don't look at him and I keep walking. "Hey," He says stopping his bike in front of us. "Fuck off Kyle." Edmund says. "Why? You're not the boss of me. I can do what I want." He says. "Go away Kyle." I say. "Aw, is your little boyfriend protecting you?" Kyle mocks. I look over his shoulder and see the other boys he's with a few feet behind him. "I'd shut your mouth if I was you. Last I checked I beat the shit out of you, I can do it again if you want me to." Edmund threatens. "Yeah like you'd have to guts to." Kyle says. "like come on you're really going to defend a helpless little nobody. a kid that is gay, his dad doesn't even want him." I look up at Kyle and without thinking I punch him in the jaw. He looks at me surprised. "Damn." Edmund whispers behind me. "Shut the fuck up Kyle. pick your jaw off the floor and go hang out with the rest of your little boy band. Okay?" I say. He looks at me with wide eyes and nods quickly before walking away.

"Wow. That was awesome. I never expected you to do that, that was a great change from how you were a little bit ago." Edmund says. I smile a bit. "I don't know I just got fed up with his shit." I say. "That's fair, come on let's go." Edmund says, putting an arm around my shoulder. I nod as we walk down the street.
