It didn't take long for Ivan's mother to arrive at the hospital. As soon as she arrived in the room with Alfred, she sat down, worried gaze locked on the boy.

" H-Hello " his expression had never once changed. Still upset, scared or worried..

"Alfred, sweetheart. I heard all about what happened. How are you feeling?" She asked, eyebrows raised in a sympathetic motherly love.

" Not so good ...." Alfred obviously couldn't say he was fine...He couldn't lie anymore.

"Mmhmm. So, Ivan tells me that you're afraid of being transferred to another orphanage."

" It means I don't get to see him again.... .it could be far away " he whimpers trying his best not to cry again.

"I see." She paused. "How would you feel if I told you that I want to adopt you into our family?"

His eyes widen a little bit, a confused expression skidded across his face " W-What??- AAre you sure?? "

She held up a wad of papers and forms. "Already got the papers ready for signing."

Alfred smiles happily , teeth showing as he looked down at the paper's " Y-You're so kind..." his scared expression had disappeared. It was more of a thankful gaze.

"I want you to be happy and safe, away from those dreadful people. So, I'll start signing these and sending them off!"

Alfred continued to smiling, he couldn't stop. " Thank you... " he was lost for words. He wasn't used to someone being so kind besides Ivan.

"You're welcome." She leaned forward, arms outstretched for a gentle hug.

He hugged her back gently with his free Arm , his smiling gaze lifting up to Ivan.

Ivan grinned back, realising that Alfred would always be with him from there on out.

He embraces the mother for quite some time as they finally realsed. " I'm sorry but are you really sure? ...is there room?..." He still couldn't believe it.

"There is. We have a spare room, or we could always put you in with Vanya." Ivan rolled his eyes at the nickname.

Alfred chuckled softly at the nickname " Sure I can bunk with Ivan "

"Then it's settled! I can go and post these off downstairs." She smiled, picking up the papers again.

" T-Thanks again.." Alfred kept smiling.

"I'll be back in a while." Ivan's mother left the room, carrying the stack of papers downstairs.

Alfred covers his face to hide his smile, trying not to tear at all the kindness. " Ivan you ass " he chuckled gently.

"What? I couldn't bear to be without you." Ivan kissed him on the cheek.
He kept chuckling slowly removing his hands " Thank you " Alfred kisses him back.

"You're my permanent roommate now." Ivan sat back with a grin.

Alfred grins a little back at him " Yeah I guess I am~ "

"Imagine all the fun we can have." He murmured thoughtfully.

Alfred leans on him a little " mmm All...the fun " he grins down to his lap.

"We just need to wait for you to get better, now. So, what did the doctors say?"

" I'm not sure yet...since I've just been unconcious " Alfred looks at his casts and feels the whip marks across his face.

"Okay then... I'm no professional yet, but I'd say... a good week or two before we can even think of taking you home."

" Oh Manny how am I gonna get my McDonald's? ? " he pouted.

"I'll sneak it in. Hospital food is shit, I know." Ivan laughed.

His face gleams as he hugged him gently again " Urgh I know it does, soup and shit "

"There was this one time that I got too drunk to walk and I collapsed in the road. One of my friends took me to hospital and it's an experience I'll never forget." He chuckled.

Alfred laughs " You dork " he could actually picture Ivan falling over.

"I had to tell mum that I was sick, not drunk, but she found out anyway."

" Your mother is not that stupid so it seems~ "

"She knows a hell of a lot more than I'd like her to." Ivan shook his head.

"She knows a hell of a lot more than I'd like her to." Ivan shook his head.

" Why am I not surprised? ~ " he again chuckled

"Because you know too much as well."

Alfred snorts , now giggling " Not enough ''

"Too much." Ivan struck a dramatic pose.

He nudges him playfully and bit his bottom lip
