DARREN'S MORNING

Darren woke up in his bed with an empty feeling. He sometimes felt meaningless. Then, he always realizes, people love him. Lawrence, Do-Yeon, Ellie and his parents. Well, until he comes out to them. In the meantime, they still love him. He got up, put on a bright blue T-Shirt and a dark orange sweatshirt above that. He put on sweatpants that were so long he would probably trip him but he didn't care. He'd probably get cold anyway since it was the middle on winter. He put on socks that reach up to his thighs (which he bought on his own since his parents wanted him to wear things that were only "manly") just so he could stay warm.

He then brushed his teeth, went downstairs and greeted his parents. They were praying to a statue of The Shifter and forced him to do so too.

"Hi Mom. Hey Dad." It was useless trying to avoid them since they get REALLY mad if he doesn't pray. He didn't even believe in the Shifter. He was a christian man, and was damn proud of it. As school, at least.

"Oh hi sweetie." Said his Mom.

"Want to come pray with us before you head out?"  Asked his Dad. Darren would've said no but he remembered what happened last time when he said "No Thank You" to them when he was seven. He really had to leave for school and when he said no They grounded him for a whole month. Because of that, they also made him pray for an hour instead of 45 minutes. He was then late for the bus and the driver didn't pick him up so his parents had to drive him. They then ran out of gas because his Mom was trying to "Use as little gas as possible to be eco-friendly." He was then late for a test which he never finished.

His grades suffered, and so did he.

So he prayed. In something he didn't believe in (His parents made him speak while praying).

After that, he snatched his Mom's egg sandwich for breakfast. He thought of it as revenge.

He head out after his parents basically sexually assaulted him with kisses.

LAWRENCE'S MORNING

Lawrence got up from his bed. He slept well, even in a bed that was freezing, but he liked being cold when asleep. He stepped out of his bed and put on slippers. He changed into a nice gold and red outfit (Consisting of a red undershirt with Marvel characters on it, a red sweatshirt with strangely soothing yellow stitches and some things on his shoulders, a light red cargo pants thingy and some yellow-gold socks.) with a nice color scheme.

He then put on deodorant, made his hair so it was spiking upwards in the front, spent about 5 minutes of making it perfect, brushed his teeth, then head out of the bathroom and into the hallway.

It always smelled like pine trees in there, but he liked it. He was unsure if the butlers and maids did, though.

He passed the rooms, looking at their titles, just to practice his eyesight. He might need glasses for near-sightedness.

Jovita.  Alfred. Alstair. Casey. Darren.

His boyfriend has a room for whenever he stays (If they don't sleep together) or if when his parents find out he's gay kick him out so he'll have a place to stay.

As he continued down the hallway, he reached a grand door on his left. It was to the kitchen. As he walked in, there were two doors. One to the dining room, and one to the kitchen. He walked into the dining room to find a ton of foods he loved for breakfast. He checked the labels on each food item's plate to see who gets to be complimented, or, even promoted (If he could convince his parents).

After eating, he started to head outside.
