Max's POV:
Great kid. That Claude boy. I said to Siva who nodded in agreement.
Nice of him to babysit Nathan & Ariana when we went to dinner last night and to help take care of Nath's eye. Siva said....
*Flashback*
Nareesha can you watch Ariana and Nathan when Siva and I go to dinner tonight? I asked the most responsible out of the group.
I'm sorry. Kelsey and I are going to a show. Nareesha said.
Why can't I do it? I'm not busy. Tom said as Tom M. agreed.
You left the last time you babysat us!! Jay said from his place on the floor.
You left? That's low man. I can do it as a thank you for letting me stay. Claude offered as Tom glared at him.
One time!! Tom said as I shook my head at him.
If you can that would be great Claude. I said as he got up and shook my hand.
Won't let you down sir. Claude said flashing a smile which I returned.
Tom KG's POV:
Guy he just met over his son?! Psst. I said out loud after Dad left.
You did leave us. Jay pointed out.
For like an hour. Tom M. said.
What kind of a babysitter would do that though? What if something happened to them? Claude scolded me hugging Nathan who sat next to him.
Ever since Claude got here, Nathan has been near him whenever he could. I don't like it. Dont trust the rat. Nathan never told Jay nor I what Claude did or said, but I'm going to figure it out. Stay here if I have to.
Tom do you want to go with us? Kelsey asked me.
Sure. I said walking out with Kelsey, Frankie, and Nareesha. I'm sure Nathan will be fine. Ariana, Jay, and Tom M. will be there if anything happens.
Jay's POV:
Can we go play in the snow?? Ariana asked Claude who thought about it for a second.
Let's see its 8:23pm & Mr. K said you two have to sleep at 9pm so a little while. Claude told her smiling.
Let's go Jaythan!! Ariana said as we all shared a confused look.
Well it's shorter to say Jaythan than your names. Ariana shrugged as we all said "oh".
We walked outside and Ariana grabbed a bunch of snow before throwing it at my brother.
I thought you loved me Ari!! Tom said starting a snow ball fight with her. Ariana laughed and decided to use me as a shield. I got hit with cold snow that made me shiver despite my warm clothing.
McGuiness' vs. All!!! Tom shouted as Claude and Nathan joined in.
By the time we were done it was only 8:44pm, but I was exhausted along with Ariana and Nathan.
Well Tom, you and Jake can take your room while I take these two to mine. Claude said to my brother. I was too tired to care he called me Jake again.
Right. C'mon Jake. Tom said laughing as we walked into his room. I swattedvat him, but kicked my shoes off and walked into a bed falling asleep.
Claude's POV:
Unfortunately I had Ariana with me so I couldn't cuddle with my Nathan tonight. The little brunette was dead asleep and Nathan was wide awake looking at me.
I smiled and made my way towards him. He shrank backwards and looked at the door probably hoping Jake would come in. I knew the curly hair lad felt something for my Nathan, but I don't share. Jake either needs to find a new mate or I'll find him a coffin. I picked Nathan up and carried him to the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it before turning around to face him.
I turned around to the shower head in Nathan's hand.
No no! I said as he sprayed me. He then tried to open the locked door, but didn't realize it was locked.
Nathan. I growled turning around.
I'm sorry!! Please don't!! Nathan whimpered trying to cover his face with his hands.
Bastard. Think you can do that. I said ripping his hands off and slapping him across the face.
A little too hard this time as he turned to face me. Red made it's way around his eye. I had to fix this before his parents noticed.. or I could lie. Easier way is lying.
Your going to tell your parents Jake-
Jay. Nathan interrupted me.
Do you want a second black eye? I asked as he shook his head.
Your going to tell your parents Jay hit you with a really hard snowball. It's easy to believe because Jay and Tom hit you head up more than Ariana and I. I told him as he nodded.
Yes Claude. Nathan said as I opened the door.
Go to bed. I told him as he did what I said.
I called the front desk and asked for ice. They brought me ice ina matter of seconds and I kneeled in front of my boy's sleeping form. I put the ice to his eye and only took it off for a few seconds.
*Next Day*
Siva's POV:
Max and I walked to the girl's room and woke them up then the same with the older boys and Jay.
Jay? Why were you in this room? I asked as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Claude took Ariana and Nathan to his room. Wanted to watch them better. Tom M. said for Jay who nodded along.
Max & I walked to the last room and I opened the door with my spare key. Claude was awake and dressed while Ariana and Nathan were both asleep.
Claude started to say something as I walked over to Nathan. Black eye? I lifted Nathan higher and gasped loudly.
What's wrong Seev? Max asked rushing over after waking up Ariana.
Why does my son have a black eye?! Max roared at Claude.
A very very agressive snowball fight last night. I cared for it with ice sirs right after. The poor boy came crying to me. Claude said sadly.
Nathan woke up hearing Max's loud voice and pressed his face into my neck.
Papa. Nathan murmured as I hugged him.
Is it true you had a agressive snowball fight, Nath? Max asked him gently.
He said yes really quietly which I repeated to Max.
Well..I'm not pleased he got hurt, but I'm happy you stayed and cared him. Thank you. Max said as Claude nodded before practically running to the girl's room with Ariana.
We'll get you some more ice. I said kissing Nathan's head.
I think it makes you look tough Nath. Max said grinning as Nathan did a small smile.
I helped him get dressed and then he left with Jay as Max and I returned to our room.
*Flashback over*
Max's POV:
Responsible enough to care for Nath. Siva added as I nodded.
Yes and at least he didn't just leave Nathan and Ariana alone. I added as Siva laughed nodding along.
