33 - Dad Has A Girlfriend??

Oh boy wonder what this chapter will be about?? 👀

As Purple paced around his room, he was rambling. Gold sat on his bed, simply listening to what he had to say.

"And you're sure that's the whole story? Like— he didn't twist it to make it seem worse or something?" Gold asked, making Purple silent for a second.

"N-no... I mean.. I don't think so!.. Green wouldn't lie to me, he's my boyfriend!" Purple said to which Gold walked over and held his hands.

"Relax, I'm just joking with ya." He giggled.

"Gold! Purple! Come downstairs!" Orange yelled from downstairs. Purple and Gold looked at eachother.

"Well.. I guess we better get going." Gold simply said before trotting down the stairs.

Purple sighed. Green isn't lying to me.. he.. he couldn't possibly have lied.. He thought. He sighed and walked down the stairs aswell.

"I need to talk to you both about something really important." He spoke as the two boys watched.

"This is.. going to be quite a big change, especially for you Gold.. but, we're having dinner with someone very important to me that I'd like you to meet."

"Let me guess.. a higher up?" Purple rolled his eyes.

Nono, not important like that! I mean.. important to me.." He said.

"Dad.." Gold spoke. "What's going on..?" He said.

Orange sighed. "I love you both so much.. and I know, you both love me aswell. Being a father to both of you is honestly the best thing to happen to me but.. sometimes.. I get lonely.."

"Spit it out, dad!" Purple yelled.

"I've been seeing someone." Orange simply said. Gold tensed up and immediately stormed up the stairs.

"G-Gold-!!" Orange said but was cut off by the door slamming.

Orange simply sat on the sofa and he put his hands over his face with a sigh. Purple came over and sat next to him.

"I knew he would have a reaction like this.." Orange sighed. Purple seemed a lil worried.

"Like.. what?"

Orange sighed shakily. "His.. mother.. Sunny.. she.." He looked at Purple. "She wasn't doing okay mentally.. and so.. I did. What was best for her. I sent her to the hospital to help but.."

His voice became shakey.

"She.. She couldn't handle it and committed suicide.. this was only 5 years ago and he still hates me for it. I still love Sunny so much.. don't get me wrong but.. sometimes I just get lonely, you know?"

Purple nodded. "That's why you need to have this conversation with him." He looked over at a photo on top of the fireplace of the 3.

"Family is something that.. it never leaves you.." He smiled. "No matter how much you fuck up, endlessly. You could fuck up over and over.. and yet.. they still give you unconditional love.. that's what real family is. It doesn't require blood.. it just requires love."

Orange smiled and hugged Purple.

"Thank you.." he spoke softly. Purple smiled again and hugged back.

"You're welcome dad.."

Beige was at her front desk. Just then, Hazard came over and tapped on it.

She continued typing. "Just a second." She said. That's when the phone started ringing. She picked it up and had the phone balanced on her shoulder while typing.
