Raving

✯ACT TWO-PART EIGHT✯

(⁠✯Translation will be provided✯⁠)

"Hi baby." Ashton smiled, picking up the black cat as he walked into his bedroom.

Scott had texted him earlier, letting him know he had dropped the kitten off. Which Ashton appreciated.

Wesley chuckled, walking in behind Ashton. Sitting the bag of new clothes down. "Scott drop him off early?"

Ashton nodded, putting Onyx back on the bed. "He said he had some things to do. And it was to make up for him getting him an extra week." Ashton explained as Onyx rolled over, attacking the stuffed bear with his paws.

"He's getting bigger." Wesley commented, wrapping his arms around Ashtons shoulders.

Ashton nodded, pulling the comforter slightly, his laugh echoing around the room as Onyx jumped from the bed, chasing after the bear as it fell to the floor.

"I need to shower." Ashton whispered, leaning his head back against Wesley's shoulder.

Wesley smiled, Ashton could feel it against his jaw. He recognized that smile, even without seeing it. "So, go take one."

Ashton sighed. "I don't wanna, too much work."

Wesley shrugged, the movement making Ashtons head lift off his shoulder. "Then let me do the work for you." The swimmers hand trailed down, unzipping the blue jacket Ashton had worn for the day.

Ashton stepped out of the bathroom as he tied the drawstrings on his sweatpants, stepping into his living room, hair still wet as steam hit the ceiling.

"Have fun?"

Ashton jumped at the voice, putting a hand over his chest as he looked at his desk, Elaine sitting, lazily messing with his butterfly knife.

Ashton coughed, clearing his throat. "I-"

"Hey, love, where'd you put my shirt a-" Wesley went to ask, stepping out of the bathroom. His sentence came to a stop as his eyes landed on Elaine. "Nevermind ." Slowly, Wesley's face flushed, and slowly, he retreated back into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Elaine chuckled, setting the knife down. "Relax, Mon Jean. I won't tell." She whispered, sending him a wink.

Ashton literally felt his shoulders drop in relief. God knows his mother didn't need another reason to yell at him. "Did you need something?" He asked, walking over and sitting on the bed, petting Onyx as the cat jumped into his lap.

Elaine nodded slowly, glancing to the door. "Chris a emmené Allie voir les corps. Et pour discuter du Kanima." She stated, resorting to French.

Ashton took the hint. This conversation was private. Everyone in the house knew Wesley had yet to learn the truth about his boyfriends activities, and all agreed to not clue him in just yet. "Oui, je vois."

Elaine crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Avez-vous des informations sur le Kanima, Mon Jean?"

Ashton swallowed, shaking his head. Momentarily pausing his hand as it went to pet Onyx's chin. "Non, grand-mère. Je ne l'ai vu qu'une fois. Tout le reste que je sais, on me l'a dit."
