Forbidden Fruit

Chapter 3

He is beautiful. Il mio coniglietto. When Koen asked me to accompany him, his father and boyfriend to see his long lost younger brother, I did not want to go. Honestly, I thought it was a gigantic waste of time. Time I could of used to sleep. But no, I went because Koen is my best friend, even though he is an annoying fucker. He told me what happened in the past, why him and his father left their youngest behind. I never agreed with what they did, nor did I like it, but I understood it. But now, having this beautiful boy on my lap smiling at me with tears in his eyes, really makes me want to punch them for it. The fact that he is so upset about his muteness makes my heart hurt. I know it will take time but I am determined to make him see that nothing is wrong with him. As I wiped the remaining tears from his eyes I could not help but get lost in them. They were two crystals that captured the ocean and sky. I smile at him and revel in the blush that spreads across his cheeks. After a few seconds of staring into his mesmerizing eyes, he lets out a small yawn and rubbed at his eyes using the back of his palms. So. Fucking. Cute. 

"Tired il mio coniglietto." I gently whispered to him as I pulled his hands away from his eyes and held them. He tiredly nodded while looking like he could fall asleep at any given moment. He could barely keep his eyes open. His tiredness does not surprise me though, after all the panic attacks and emotional roller coasters he just went through. "Okay il mio coniglietto, how about you get all your stuff from the back while the rest of us pack and clean up everything out here so we can get you home." I softly said while I gently stood up and rested il mio coniglietto on his feet. He sleepily nodded and went to the back room. The rest of us made quick work of cleaning everything up and by the time il mio coniglietto came back out we had finished. All of us waited as il mio coniglietto locked up the front. I guided him to my car and opened the passenger side door for him to get in. I thought he would have questioned me about it but he did not even hesitate to get in, too sleepy to full understand what was going on around him.

As I buckled il mio coniglietto in, I stared into those sleepy blue eyes and got lost for a second. They are such a vivid blue that I could practically see the sky on the clearest of days. My gazed dipped down to his cute, pink, full, pouty lips thinking what I would not do to capture them in a searing kiss. Before I did something that would no doubt freak the ever loving shit out of il mio coniglietto, I closed the passenger side door and turned to go the drivers side only to be encircled by il mio coniglietto's glaring family. 

"Why is my baby brother in your car and not riding with us. Cause last time I checked he was suppose to go home with us not you. Hell, you did not even want to come and now you are all heart eyes for my baby brother. I swear Kage, if you even think about playing with my brother and hurting him, best friend or not I am killing you." Koen all but yelled angrily at me through clenched teeth, as he folded his arms glaring. I am pretty sure the only reason he was not full on yelling was because il mio coniglietto was in the car next to us, falling asleep on himself.

"Listen to me carefully Koen. Your brother is in my car because, if his panic attacks did not serve as enough evidence, he is terrified of you all. And all of your emotionless, cold faces you first looked at him with did not do anything to ease him. Also, he clearly feels at least somewhat safe with me as he let me hold and comfort him. So yes, I may not have initially wanted to come here but I am going to drop him home. And Koen, I will never hurt your brother. I would rather kill myself before I hurt the innocent man in my car. " I said with a cold face and as much conviction as I could muster in my voice. I would not let them think I would hurt il mio coniglietto. I would never even dream of it. I would rather shoot myself 100 times. After a few seconds of tense silence, Silvain weakly spoke up.

"I know I hurt my youngest. I swore to myself that I would never hurt any of my family yet I hurt my youngest in ways I can never even imagine. Even if it takes the rest of my life, I swear to him I will do what ever if takes to ease his pain. He may never forgive me but if I can ease even a sliver of his pain, I will do it. I saw the way he looked at us and the way he looked at you. He only looked at us with fear and pain. Pain I caused. But with you, he never had even a glimpse of fear. I also saw the look in your eye. The protectiveness you already have for my son even though you only just met him. That is good enough for me at least for now. But so help me god Kage, if you hurt a single hair on his head I will skin you alive." Silvain threatened. I was glad that he was attempting to make amends. I really was. But I was really concerned with what all this was going to do to il mio coniglietto. If he could handle it. Having so many panic attacks in that short space of time was definitely far from healthy. I hope he has some kind of therapy or medication to help. I would have to ask him. 

Nodding to the others, I join il mio conigliettoin the car. Theo, Keon's boyfriend said nothing but I could see him waiting to get to the car before he ripped into them. That man does not mince words. "Il mio coniglietto, can you type in your address please?" I soothingly said as I lightly tapped his shoulder. Il mio coniglietto barely even opened his eyes as he typed in his address and went right back to sleep. God he was adorable. With one last glance at the cute as hell boy in my passenger seat, I began our drive.
