Chapter 16 Surrender to the uneasiness

There bubble tea arrives and
everyone setling into the mundane, Sol is enjoying himself emensely, he has an idea turning to his now parents asking
"Hay, Dad, Papa. I know you said I could, and your ok with it, but tonight maybe, would I..."
Keller interjects
"Sol, for shits sack, point?"
Sol chuckles, now feeling more at ease
"I wont my hands done tonight, the idiots are here and I have an idea!?"
Cooper can't miss the opportunity saying
"No, nop, not without the magic word
little J, not happening"
Max smirks, only for Sol's quick whit to step in with a sassy tone
"Oh daddy, daddy, please, pretty please with cherry's!"
Both can't take it at this point both breakdown in a fit of laughter, Keller only saying
"Fuck my life, two ditsey blonds. Theres no God"
And sihying, only for Roma voice to carefully join in
"Three blonds, but I'm quite mosty"
Keller tightens the hug for a moment and replies
"There is a God"
Everyone in the room now chuckles away as well, Keller pipes up asking the kids
"Would you like to say the nigh, I'll drive you back to get you things. Sol can call his artist, Max you stay with him, what do you say, hmm"
A sea of 'sleepover' and 'Jackson cant do something stuiped if were here' are heard, Roma getting off Keller's lap and grabs his hand with a small real smile saying
"Let's go then"
After Keller and the class return, finding Max and Sol in the lounge talking, Sol notice them saying as the class enters
"End of the hall, right door, Davi knows, downstairs makes yourself at home"
Kerry grimace asking
"You said it was a dungeon down there!?"
Sol giggles saying
"Split basement and I put the owners lock on the other side"
Davi walking forwards saying
"Come on its big downstairs, plenty of room, come come, this way"
And walk off down the hall, with the rest of the class following like ducklings.
Keller starts asking
"What are we doing?"
Jackson playing with a set of keys replied
"Watling for you, I forgot to tell you about something..."
Sol traling off by the end,
Keller conferenced but Cooper is happy so node's and Sol continues
"My driving licence and keys to my bike and car, please don't sell them"
Max jumped in holding Sol's driving licence saying
"Look how pretty little J is, oh my Sage do you see"
Handing the card to Keller, still fan girling, turns to Sol saying
"You so pretty Sol, do you won't me to buy those things for your eyes?"
Keller replying before Sol, saying
"Max, eyeliner, it's called eyeliner.
And for the love of God, have you aksd if he likes it, hm?!"
A now sad Max sits shaking his head 'no', Sol lets a tear roll down his face and interjects
"It's fine, really. I've never been call pretty...
mother saw me once and beat the shit out off me for being 'tinker bell with a cock'.
I like it tho, the eyeliner,  not tinker shit."
Max stands up Clapping his hands saying
"Little J, I'll buy all the eyeliner you won't then!"
Sol smiles
"Thank you, really, but I have them.
Give me a sec I'll be back"
Running upstairs and diserpring for the next 5 minutes, before returning with his eyeliner on, a deep brown smock with the inner corner enfsized with
fine black eyeliner and wing at the end other end. Not getting a chance to ask if it was OK, because Cooper sqewils and said
"Oh no I was wrong Sol"
Sol's heart drops, but Cooper quickly continues with
"Your beautiful my little J"
And give him a big hug, after parting
Keller saying
"About your vehicles, I wont sell ether, on one condition, you take me on your bike"
Sol's frozen on the spot for a moment, before smirks and replies
"Sure, it's not even three yet, artists coming around five. Won't to go know?"
Keller node's and Jackson runs upstairs again to get charged, half way downstairs everyone starts talking very excitedly, all asking at once
'You have a bike?'
'Can we see?'
'So cool'
Sol smirks
"Yeh, but no. I have a bike,  but my driving licence is illegal, remember 16"
Jabbing a thub at himself.
Coco noticed the eyeliner and platform boots, and like Max started fan girl saying
"Oh God Jackson I know your hot but dam"
Jestering to all of him, Cooper jumping in with
"Yeh I know he's beautiful right, but those boots are you ok in them Sol?"
Sol nodded replied
"Hmm, yeh my training shoes are wedged as well, I'm not great on heals, but platform and wedged I like!"
Cooper nodded and asked
"What size little J?
Sol confused but anwaers
"8, why.."
Max way to  happily reply
"Because you said no on the eyeliner,  now I can buy all the pretty shoes!"
Jackson huffing, but speaking lovingly
"Fuck, I'm done with this"
Jestering to all of Cooper's happy,
and continues saying
"Papa let's go, if you still up"
Keller nodded and went to follow Sol lead, but was stopped by Keith Dodg asking
"Can we see, you know the bike?"
Nodding and replies
"Yeh, no fucking rides tho"
Everyone node's and agrees egar, and there in the carport is Sol's bike,
a black Kawasaki Ninja.
Sol grabing a spare jacket and helmet for keller while the class fan girl over his bike.
Quinn gasped saying
"Is beautiful Sol"
Kerry
"Awoo, these thing are worth a dam lot, how you get it?"
Sol snots replying
"Brought dipshit, illegal licence rember,
now fuck off idiots, I'm heading out."
Looking at keller saying
"Hold on tightly"
Keller coldly replied
"Don't speed!"
But still hopes on and holds on tightly, sol starting the engine as the carport door opens, and there off, after returning Keller speaks
"Your a great driver Sol"
Sol node's asking
"Yeh you think?, I've only driven one other on the bike?"
Keller proudly smiled at Sol saying
"Yeh, when that car cut you off, I nearly shit myself.  But you didn't faulted."
Sol hmms saying softly
"Thanks Papa"
Walking inside not seeing anyone in the lounge, Keller go's to fine them, but gets cut off by Sol yelling
"HAY YOU FUCKING IDIOT!
WHERE ARE YOU!"
Keller chuckles and shakes is head, hearing a 'Here' from the hall, both start moving forward, finding everyone in the music room playing analogue karaoke.
There at the electric keyboard is Cooper, playing while the class sing.
Davi comes running over to Sol asking
"Sol, Sol play for me, it's been so long, please, oh please"
Sol only replied with a grunt, getting dragged to the piano in the corner.
Oliver asking
"Jackson c.."
Oliver gets cut off by Sol saying
"Yes I can play, and please call me Sol,
all of you, if you won't."
Jerry steps up saying
"That request can only be forfilled if, us ourselves move past 'idiots'!"
Sol looks down trying to speak but the topic at hand is overwhelming for him
"Frien..d's...nop no, class...maybe"
Sitting at the piano asking
"What you won't"
Kerry shrugs saying
"I don't know piano"
Rome node's in agreement adding
"Yeh, I'm a Taylor fan"
Coco jumped in
"Yeh Taylor Swift all the way"
Sol node's saying
"Ok then"
And starts, on the piano sounds more like Madilyn Bailey, Widest dreams version.
After finishing a sea of 'oh' and 'wow', and claps were heard, Lucas Smith quietly asked
"Can you play titanium?"
Sol chuckles and nods, beginning to play the request.
After the song, and a big smile from Lucas with many 'thank you', small talk breaks out when a 'Bing bing' is heard in the room. Everyone looks around, Cooper asking
"what that?"
Sol gets up moving to the door way only saying
"Frontdoor"
And walking out, everyone very curious follows along, Sol opening the front door wide and greeting the unknown person
"What the fuck your early Cherry"
Smirks and shakes his head continues
"Still can't read then, should of finished school"
Cherry replies
"I would say fuck you, but I dont wont you to pop a boner, and frankly dick don't do it for me, even yours!"
Shrugging as she looks around and looks back at Sol saying
"I don't do orgies eather sol"
Jackson replying
"Dont worry there still G rated, they would blush at porn if they got lucky, but I wont you to meet someone"
Jestering to the two adult and saying
"This is papa and dad"
Cherry sqewils and jumps on sol
Saying
"She's gone oh, Sol, Sol, Sol"
Jackson node's and said
"Yeh, Now my hands.."
Cherry snots saying
"That are on my ass!"
Jackson rolled his eyes saying
"Yeh and.."
Sol gets cut off by Kerry asking
"Um sorry but who are you?"
Cherry hopes off Sol and said
"I'm Cherry Smith, lovely ta' fucking meet ya'!"
Beams with a smile, she was small, pete, with long mix candy pink fluffy hair and big toffee brown eyes, she wore lose Nike sweats and sports bra with embroidered Nike boomer jacket, Sophie smiled saying
"It's nice to meet you"
Cherry overwhelmed saying in English
"An't ya' beautiful, glad ta' meet ya' angel"
Sol shakes his head said
"Befor that porno in your head gets forther"
Cherry not moving her eyes away from, what she dubs an angel, that she wants to call her own and Sol didn't say a flat no, anwaers Sol says
"Hmm, yes, yes your hands what up?"
Sol smirks
"I won't your Della, ink transfer right, what you think?"
Cherry hmms replied
"Yeh sound good, what about your feet, ya' gevin' 'em up yet?"
Sol snots a reply
"Fucking kinky fuck, no, Dad wants my arm tho"
Cooper cuts in saying
"Hay I got to counter the dark sense of humour on the other arm!"
Cherry coming out of her daydream and getting to business saying
"Well the hands be good to go, no healin', apart of my Della. So the arm is a fucking go if ya' wont!"
Sol says
"OK class I need you"
Walking over to the sofa, and jesters for everyone to sit, Jackson grabs a marker and papers off the side table saying
"You shit missed school so we're doing a project. You'll be in pairs of two, go through these pages, fine one you like, you will wright half each,  work out wich half your writing with your partner. Then"
Pausing and smirks
"Your all be writing these on my fingers, so then Cherry can make them permanent"
The class is in chaos, Keller stepping in
"Enough, this is not his first, he won't this done and more. We're ok with it, be quiet I'm working"
Getting his laptop and snuggle into the widow seat, while the class contains on the project, Sol's tattoo.
Lots of scurry and quiet covertions go's on for a while, before his hand are full of different meaning Japanese conge are on the top of his hands.
Both side of the parms are left for his parents.
Cooper's side saying
'Fall seven times, stand up eight'
The other, Keller's said
'Wake from death, return to life'
And his fingers a mix of
'Never give up'
'Every thing happens for a reason'
'Half a life is 'if' '
'Enjoy life'
'Ukiyo'
'Follow your heart'
'Ten people, ten colours'
'Dont hold onto yesterday '
'Fear of failure is failure'
After finishing his hands and showing them off, hugs and 'thanks' from Sol.
Cooper walked up asking
"My turn?"
Sol qukly relies
"Yep, definitely"
So he sits down at the dining table so Cherry can start. After she's finished Jackson asked
"can I look yet?"
Cooper saying
"Yep, little J!"
His left forearm showing quote from
Oscar Wilde
'Never love anybody who treats you like your ordinary'
Jackson Gasps, and his eyes star to water Cooper gets worried, this is permanent after all, asking
"oh I'm sorry litt.. "
But his worries are cut short when Sol crashed into him, Cooper overjoyed leans down returning the hug while standing up with Sol in his grasps, now dangling like a small child. Sol snuggles into the other, happy, genuine happy. Saying
"It's perfect, thank you!"
Cooper gently putting Sol down with a huge smile saying
"Your very welcome little J"
Cherry in a laughing fit cuts in
"Who new ....ya' could get diabetes....
for Gum.Bear,.. I ..think ...ya' fucke' klli' me.. asshole"
Cooper asking
"You called me Gum.Bear?
You know me?"
Cherry takes a deep breath saying
"Fuck of course, my brother love's ya',
listener' ta' ya' radio with me all time"
Cooper living up to his radio name, that was once a slur kids used when he was a kid, Cooper was allways a big kid, bursting with happiness, as Coop power walks over to Cherry give her a huge hug and saying
"Wondfull to meet you!"
Cherry's reply
"Welp shit know I have type 2 diabetes!"
Both chuckles and Cherry continues
"Put me down, gotta' go, shit ta' do, nice ta' meet ya', all a ya' "
Cooper asking
"Will we see you again, please say yes, I would like to meet your brother!, please"
Sol cuts in simply saying
"Bring him"
Cherry smiled and nodded and turned to Sophie
"Hay beautiful, ya'got me' number, call"
Sophie node's with a clear blush on her cheeks, after Cherry leaves everything setling down, enjoying there time.
Some playing an aggressive game of monopoly, others just sitting and talking about the mundane. Then there's another knock at the door, only Sol this time isn't expecting anyone but gets up and opening the door. There stood a happy Keller, but younger, giant smile and ocean blue eyes.
Tall, sleand and muscular with long ash gray hair in a fishtail braid.
Sol looked back to Keller still working away, looking back at the strange.
Strange finely speaks up
"Huney I'm home!"
Strange opens is arms for a hug, still with that giant smile on, Sol's only replied
"Fuck no"
Leaving the unknow guy at the door,  walking into the lounge again turns to Cooper saying
"It's your brand of happy, you deal with it!"
And walking back to where he was befor.
Cooper gasps running up and picking up said boy saying
"Sage you never guess, Adilin's hear. Oh AdiAdi how are you my sweet, how was school, wait your here!"
Keller voice cut's in
"Adilin, yeh called him while I was at the school, told him to come"
Turning to Sol continues
"Sol your brother, Adilin.
Yada Yada"
Moving his hands back and forth Jestering to both. Adi smirks at Sol, asking
"So your suicide baby brother, should I put locks on the draws?"
Sol smirks replied
"I like a challenge, but don't forget to put bubble wrap on sharp corners!"
Both laughing before Adi saying
"I'm Adilin Cooper, Adi"
Jestering to Sol
"You look like a shorter mooder Dad!"
Sol chuckles and replies
"I'm Sol Jackson, just call me Sol, and you"
Sol jesters to Adi
"You look like Papa without the mood problems"
Both laughing, but cut short by Keller huffing out
"You shits, I don't have a mood, I have a low tolerance for bullshit"
Both node in a fit of laughter trying to reply
Sol
"O..ur..."
Adi
"P..oi..nt"
Both
"Made"
Adi giving Sol his complete attention saying
"I'm your big brother Adi, you need anything, just say"
Sol node's and Cooper steps in
"OK kids who won't burger! I'll make an order, veggie, chicken or beef?"
A see of replies are here, except Sol, Cooper asking
"We can get a kids one little J"
Sol replies
"Nah they w.."
Keller interjects
"If they won't give me my order, I'll have there job!!"
Cooper kissed the top of Sol's head saying softly
"Your our baby"
Adi with a beeming smile asks
"So little brother, beef or chicken?"
Sofie and Andy both being the class vegetarians say
"Or Veggie!"
After the discord of ordering dinner, there burgers arrived, as said Sol got a kids burger, chicken.
Mundane small talk fills the room, as dinner is finishing up Adi asked Sol
"Sol, how is it?"
Sol smirks with a nod saying
"It's good, it's stupid but it feels good being able to finish somthing."
Andy Jay say
"Sol, eat what you can and won't. Never feel wrong for that. I'm a guy, that's vegetarian. You think I don't get shit. Fuck 'em"
Sol chuckles and nods a simple
"Thanks"
