Erik parked the car. He then settled Curtis on his hip and carried him into the restaurant. Once inside, everyone who saw Curtis in his diapered teddy bears onesie said "Aw!" "How cute!" "He's so adorable!" Curtis blushed and held onto Erik. He liked that people were so nice to him. Erik smiled and asked "Wanna eat here or get some to take home so we can watch TV and eat?" Curtis said "Home please." Erik nodded and went up to the counter to order. He ordered what Curtis wanted, what he wanted, which was original style, and Italian styled ones. "Want anything else?" Erik asked, Curtis said "No thank you" Erik then pointed at the giant fridge with many drinks and asked "Want a drink?" Curtis said "Hell yeah!" Erik swatted Curtis' bottom and said "No swearing!" Curtis squeaked and said "S-Sorry it slipped out."
"It's okay, but don't do it again. That's the second time you swore. One more time and I'm going to have to wash your mouth out with soap." Erik said, Curtis nodded wearily and went to pick out a drink. Erik grabbed a fruit punch Monster. Curtis grabbed the original green monster and said "I want this." Erik shook his head and said "No, You're too young to have energy drinks." Curtis nodded and picked a Dr Pepper instead.

Erik picked Curtis up and held him while waiting for their food. Then a lady came up and said "He is so adorable! Is he your son?" Erik smiled and said "No, little brother." The lady then said "Oh he is so adorable I cant even stand it!" and took Curtis from Erik and held him. Curtis giggled and hugged the woman, liking this. The woman smiled and held Curtis lovingly. Just then their food was ready. Erik grabbed the food and said "Say goodbye to the nice lady, Curtis." Curtis said "Aw do I have to?" Erik nodded and said "Yes, you have to." Curtis hugged her and said "Goodbye." The lady smiled sweetly and said "Goodbye, sweetheart." Erik then took Curtis and carried him out to the car. Erik put the food on the passenger seat and put Curtis in his lap. Curtis huggled Erik happily. Erik smiled and held Curtis with one arm as he drove with the other. Curtis soon relaxed and fell asleep.

Erik arrived home and got the food and Curtis inside. He set Curtis on the couch and the food on the coffee table. Erik turned the TV on and put on The Mr Men Show. Erik then gently shook Curtis awake. Curtis woke up and sat up, hungry. Curtis began to eat. Erik smiled and began eating as well. He loved the original style chicken wings cause of how crispy and tasty they are. "Want one of mine?" Erik asked, Curtis nodded and tried it, saying "That's good. You can try mine." Erik shook his head and said "Nah, don't like buffalo sauce. By the way, where did you learn to say hell?" Curtis said "My foster parents watched stuff that had cussing."
"If I'm watching something and someone swears, don't repeat it. It's very bad." Erik said, Curtis nodded and said "I won't"
"Good." Erik said and started eating again, Curtis nodded and did too. Erik watched the Mr Men Show while he ate. Right now it's the "Boo Boos" episode. Curtis watched, not really knowing much about the show. Erik kinda likes this show. He used to watch it when he was a kid. Curtis giggled when the frog kept jumping around from the doctor. Erik smiled, thinking Curtis likes this show. Curtis drank some of his pop and enjoyed the show. Erik smiled when Miss Whoops kept pushing the button to Mr Bump's hospital bed which kept putting him in different(and painful) positions. Curtis laughed and said "Do beds really do that?" Erik chuckled and shook his head while saying "No, but it would be pretty awesome if they did do that." Curtis said "Not for the patients!" Erik chuckled and patted Curtis' back. He then went back to eating and watching the Mr Men Show, Curtis smiled and did the same.

Soon the "Boo Boos" Episode was over and now the "Lunch" episode was on. Curtis finished his food and relaxed on the couch while watching. Erik finished as well. "I got another thing of wings in case you're still hungry." Erik said, Curtis smiled and said "Awesome!" He wasn't very hungry still but he ate one. Erik left the chicken wings with Curtis. He then got the craving for hot chocolate and said "Hey little bro, I'm gonna make some homemade hot chocolate. Want some?" Curtis smiled and nodded "Yeah! he said. He thought that sounded very good. Erik smiled and said "Okay. Do you want to watch TV while I make it or do you want to help?" Curtis said "I wanna help." and got up, wiping his face off. Erik nodded and got out milk, water, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. "Okay, I'll put everything in the pot and you stir, okay?" Erik said, Curtis nodded, glad to help. Erik put the cocoa powder, salt, sugar, and water in the pot and turned the stove on and said "Okay, start mixing. But don't get burned." Curtis nodded and carefully started mixing. Erik smiled and turned on the radio to pass the time. The song "Fallen angel" was playing.
"A Fallen angel, in the dark. Never thought you'd fall so far. Fallen angel, close your eyes. I won't let you fall tonight." Curtis listened and stirred more. Sadly the song came to an end. "Firework" was the next song to come up.
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind wanting to start again?." Curtis didn't like this song and said "Can you change it?" Erik nodded and changed the station. The next song was "Concrete angel"
"Through the wind and the rain she stand hard as a stone, in a world that she can't rise above. But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved. Concrete angel." Curtis didn't like this song because it was about child abuse. He started crying. Erik held Curtis comfortingly and said "Shh, shh, what's wrong?" Curtis said "Th-This song is too sa-sad!" Erik stroked Curtis' hair and said "Don't worry, I'll change it." Erik changed the song and now "American noise" is playing.
"Times will be bad, times will be good. Things I wish I hadn't done and some I wish I would. Cutting through the American noise. You've got a voice and a song to sing. Drink deep in the morning, drink deep in the morning. See what the day will bring." Curtis sniffled and calmed down. Erik smiled and held Curtis lovingly. "Ready to continue making hot chocolate?" Curtis nodded and hugged back a bit longer before going back to stirring.

When the hot chocolate was boiling Erik slowly poured in the milk. Curtis slowly stirred it, it smelling really good. Once Erik had poured the right amount of Milk and Curtis stirred it, the hot chocolate was ready. Erik poured some in a glass for himself and some in a sippy cup for Curtis. Curtis smiled and started drinking it, only to burn his tongue "Owie!"
"Are you okay?" Erik asked, Curtis nodded and said "I burnt my tongue."
"Want me to put your hot chocolate in the fridge so you can drink it when it's cool?" Erik said, Curtis nodded and said "Yes please." Erik took Curtis' sippy cup of hot chocolate and put it in the fridge. "Want some juice while you wait?" Erik asked, Curtis said "No thank you." and looked around the kitchen. Erik just remembered something. "Wanna meet Felicity?" He asked with a smile, Curtis nodded and said "Who's that?"
"Don't you remember? My pet wolf. I said I'd show you her." Curtis remembered and said "Yes! I want to see her!" Erik picked Curtis up and carried him to a door that said "Felicity's room" on it. Erik opened the door and set Curtis down. Felicity was sleeping on her bed, She woke up, saw Curtis and started running at him. Curtis remembered how Erik said she was friendly. He smiled and opened his arms. Felicity tackled Curtis and started licking his face. She then nuzzled him. Curtis giggled and pet her. Felicity kept nuzzling Curtis. Curtis smiled and hugged her. Felicity was a big wolf and Curtis was a small child. Felicity picked Curtis up by the back of his shirt and carried him to her bed. Felicity set Curtis down on her bed and cuddled him. Curtis loved this and snuggled up to her. Erik smiled and watched Curtis and Felicity snuggle. Curtis held Felicity close and relaxed while Erik smiled and went to go take a nap. He went upstairs to his room and got in bed where he drifted off to sleep and Curtis stayed with the wolf.
