A TIME WITH YOU: BL STORY

Chapter 1

Memories

After coming home from his band practice, the shouting from the living room echoed across the hallway of the mansion. Kairos sighed and just walked towards his room while he heard his parents' argument "If it weren't for you. My life wouldn't be this imperfect! " His father shouted. Kairos pauses for a moment and waits until his mother responds; He nonchalantly mumbled "I wouldn't be desperate if you just cared. " And he shook his head once his mother shouted back what he just mumbled earlier. Kairos already heard those words since childhood that's why he was able to predict what both of his parents would shout at each other, Kairos reached his room and put down his guitar case next to his bed.

" Kiylan ba to matatapos? " Kairos said as soon as he sat down to his bed.

Kairos Luke Huxley is an American-Filipino and was born into a wealthy family. Is currently pursuing music as a guitarist even if his father is against it, He accepted the fact his family is falling apart each day but there is a side of him that wants to make it a family that you can call a parent and son relationship, not a beneficial relationship but it's based on his father.

Kairos took his relationship with his father as a beneficial relationship not as a father and son, His father only sees him as a successor of some sort meanwhile he sees his father not as a father figure or a role model but as someone who can pay everything he desired or as his ATM on the other hand. It's completely different from his relationship with his mother.

His mother is his inspiration to everything, she's the real reason why his staying in this gruesome household and she's the reason why there's a spark in him wanting to fix this household; Kairos puts his hands on his face and lets out a deep breath. This is the only way to let out the stress his holding in.

"I should go downstairs; it looks like it stopped already. " Kairos thought and after cleaning himself up, He went downstairs and was told that the dinner was ready by the butler therefore he went to the dining hall right away and just to meet his father's usual cold gaze.

Once he sat down, the atmosphere of the dining hall became dark rather than bright seeing the family was complete. They usually eat separately but today is just an unlucky day. His mother broke the silence when she spoke to Kairos with a lovely tone "How's your day, Kai? " He then gave a slight smile "It was great Mom... We won a competition and after that, we practiced for... " Kairos stopped in the middle of his sentence when his father spoke " Will that competition bring success to the company? " The room became silent again and suddenly his father slammed the utensils into the table and walked away.

Somehow Kairos' courage to speak ignited inside him and stood up to follow his father while his mother tried to stop him but Kairos was too fast "Why do I always have to defend what I love? " Kairos shouted and it echoed in the hallway that's enough to be heard by his father. His father stopped and look at him "Because your job as my son is to inherit the goddamn company." His father said and this made Kairos clenched his fist "Is that you all see me? Father." Kairos said and his tone started to change into much more shaky "Is that I am all worth to you? Nothing but someone who would succeed the throne you've been sitting on for 27 years?!" Kairos shouted and his father punched him making his mother run and stand between the two.

Kairos never understands his father and he won't try to understand him at all. His father frowned and grabbed him by his collar "You know nothing, Kairos!" He got then pushed and his father went upstairs "If this is the way, I can make you see." His father shouted and as soon as Kairos realized what his father meant; He hurriedly followed his father which led them to his room.

His father grabbed his guitar and smashed it to the ground. Kairos felt his whole world shattered into pieces when his father began breaking everything "All of this... You wasted your allowance which is my money on this stupidity!" His father shouts as he breaks everything one by one while Kairos stands by the door, frozen "Asher! Don't let history repeat itself!" His mother's voice is both worried and scared but Kairos can't process anything at the moment.
