Outcast - An Immortalfox Story

Chapter 18

I just stand there, letting the two hug and catch up and whatnot, then Eddie turns to me. I smile and wave shyly.

"Edwin, ¿quién es?" [Edwin, who's this?] His mother asked. Eddie smiled and turned back to his mom.

"Esta es Aleks, mamá, mi novio." [This is Aleks, mom, my boyfriend.] He says with a smile. His mom smiles and invites us in.

"Come, come." She says, still with an accent.

"I take it she understands English, but can't speak it very well?' I ask.

Eddie nods. "So she knows what you're saying but I have to translate for you." He says.

"I understand a bit of what she said. I knew once I heard my name she asked who I was." I say, "But yeah, translate for me." I say, smiling.

He nods and kisses the top of my head. His mom 'aw's at us. 

"¿Edwin, cuánto tiempo llevan juntos?" [Edwin, how long have you two been together?] She asks.

"Un par de semanas." [A couple weeks now.] He says, just before some dogs run down and pretty much attack Eddie's feet.

He giggles and picks up a little bulldog "I've missed you guys too." He says, smothering them all in hugs and kisses. I smile and kneel down, petting the dogs.

"Oh Aleks, this is Puppy Cop, Puppy Nurse, and Puppy Chef, my babies." He says, giggling.

"I thought I was your baby." I say, pouting.

Sly giggles and gives me a kiss. "You are my baby." He says sweetly, "There're my babies like, children." He says.

"So they're my step children?" I ask, being a smart ass.

"Yep, say hi to your step dad guys!" He giggles, the dogs run over and attack me in licks.

"Ok, ok, down, down." I beg, still getting licks. Eddie has to pull each dog off me so I can get up off the floor.

I move over to the couch, where the dogs procceed to attack me with their affection. I didn't mind, I like pets. I wanted one for so long but I don't trust anything living to be around that monster.

"¡Aquí están algunas galletitas para chicos!" [Here are some cookies for you guys!] His mother says, walking in with a tray of cookies.

"¡Mm, gracias!" [Thanks!] I say, taking one of the freshly baked cookies. Eddie took one too, but stopped me from eating mine. He put the one he was holding to my lips.

I giggled and opened my mouth, taking a bit of the cookie from his hand. I do the same to him and he takes a bite of mine. His mom looks at us and smiles, getting us some milk to go with these.

"Your mom is so nice." I say, finishing the cookie.

"Yeah, a lot of my friends love her." He says, finishing as well.

"Why did you leave home?" I asked curiously. It's obvious his mom knows he's gay and she's okay with it. What could of made him leave home?

"For her protection." Eddie says going quiet once his mom comes in with the milk. She sets it down, kisses Eddie's head, and walks back into the other room.

I reach for the milk and take a sip. "What do you mean for her protection?" I ask.

Eddie sighs, "When I first came out, she was enthused. She told everyone. Now this was before I got with Max, and well, I wasn't liked after I came out. Kids would chase me home, throw stuff at my windows, threaten to kill me if I ever came back to school." He says getting quieter.

"When I got with Max, it all stopped, but when he started getting abusive, I needed out. So the guys would take me in for weeks on end to keep me and my mom safe because one day, Max lost it. He threw something, and it almost hit my mom." Eddie says.

"That's, horrible." I say quietly, he gives me a small kiss.

"But yours is worse, he is using your sexuality as a threat, and it's not right. You should come out to your mom." Eddie says, "She'll love you no matter what, you're her son." He smiles and kisses my head.

"I know I just, need to find the right time, when Fucker isn't around." I say quietly.

"¿Edwin, crees que se puede tomar Chef a tú casa? Necesita mucha energía y no puedo le." [Edwin, do you think you can take Chef to your home? She needs lots of energy and I can't manage her.] His mom asks.

"Si mamá." [Yes, mom.] Eddie says, scooping up the small ball of wrinkles. "You're coming home with me!" He says.

The pup gets excited and starts licking his face. I giggle, looks like there's a new member to the family.

We only stayed a bit, just so Eddie and his mom could catch up before we headed back to the house. I had my phone on silent, so I looked at it. 25 missed messages. Damn, Seamus could you spam any faster? I replied to the last one he sent. 'Sorry, Eddie took me to his moms and didn't tell me, what's up?' I send, he replies moments after.

'It's been just James and I all day and well, uh, we kinda, sorta... I fucked him.' Seamus sends, I smile and reply back.

'Congrats, how was it?' I send.

'It was... amazing. I didn't know that his yelling could be, such a turn on.' He sends.

We pull up to the house and Eddie sends me in. He's taking Chef for a quick walk. I walk into the house and up to my room. I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I need to talk to her, I need to tell her that her son is... gay.

I sit up and look at my phone, looking threw my contacts. I find her. I look at the clock, she's on her way to work, maybe I can catch her befor she goes into work. I call her and let it ring. She answers almost instantly.

"Aleks, hon! I'm glad you called, but I'm about to go into work." She says. I let out a sigh.

"Mom, we need to have a talk."
