Soften My Heart

CH (7) MINE

It was one of those peaceful mornings, when you wakeup and feel lazy to get out of bed.

that's exactly how pavel was feeling right now. he has been awake for half an hour now and his mind keeps drifting to the events of the previous days.

he is wondering if all the things people always say about khun pooh is right. To be honest he was scared of him at first but actually khun pooh never hurt him, not on purpose anyway.

he locked him in the room when he first arrived here but then he was allowed out of it.

khun pooh fed him also promised to buy him clothes. he also treated him in a way which is better then he ever imagined someone homeless would be treated with.

but there is this thought that keeps bugging him

If his father abandoned him, why would p'tin take him in?

he couldn't get the thought out of his head, so he decided to risk it and ask p'tin

but what if p'tin got mad at him?

aakkhh whatever! I need to know!!

getting out of bed, he went looking for p'tin hoping he would find the man at home

he searched for him in the living room but didn't find him.

feeling disappointed a little, maybe he left already?

pavel decided for one last try. he thought about checking the office.

finding the door of the office closed. pavel stood in front of it and knocked three times and waited until he heard a muffled come in from the inside.

he opened the door slowly, finding p'tin sitting at the desk while typing something on his laptop.

p'tin was so focused on the screen, he didn't even lift his head to look at pavel.

deciding to go for it anyway,

pavel: p'tin?

pooh: why are awake so early

pavel: well it's...

pooh: what

pavel: I just woke up and was thinking about something

pooh: hmm

p'tin hummed without looking up at pavel. pavel was so nervous to ask him.

maybe it's better that he is not looking at him or he would become so nervous he wouldn't be able to say one word

pavel: p'tin?

pooh: hmm

pavel: can I ask you something, please?

pooh: what is it?

pavel: mm... why did you take me in?

at that, pooh lifted his head and stared blankly at him

pooh: why?

pooh: do you want to go back?

pavel: well no, I mean my dad doesn't want me anymore even If I want to go back

pavel was surprised when suddenly p'tin got up from his chair and came to stand in front of him

pooh: this is not about your father anymore

pooh: you are mine now! .... I am the one who decides where you stay and where you go.

pooh: DO YOU UNDERSTAND!
