Once they were done working at the store, it was already 8:00 PM. Garroth was confused, "What the fuck? How are we going to get to your next two jobs?" He asks.

"What do you mean?" Laurence questions, as they walk quietly to the car.

"I mean, it's night! What the hell is your next job?" The blonde repeats his question except in a different wording but Laurence only smiles and pats Garroth's shoulder.

"Babysitting," Laurence states and Garroth basically chokes on air. A huge grin slaps itself onto the blonde's face.

"You babysit?" He giggles. Laurence rolls his eyes with a nod, blushing a bit at Garroth's expression. They make it to the car and both of them hop in quickly, getting comfortable. Once Laurence starts the car, the first thing he does is switch the radio on. The song 'It took me by surprise' by Maria Mena begins playing and both boys can't help but smile. They dance to the song, singing loudly and very off-key while giant grins remain on their faces. They scream the lyrics of the chorus, their voices booming over the original song. They were happy.

If only it was always like this.

Garroth lowers the music, a few giggles slipping out his mouth afterwards. "So is this a new house you're babysitting at?" Garroth questions and Laurence smirks.

"Nope." He grins playfully, knowing Garroth had no idea he even liked babysitting. The blonde giggles and covers his smile with his palm.

"Are you and the kid close?"

"These little kids are like my little cousins, I've known them since they were born." Laurence mutters in the drivers seat, his eyes paying close attention to both the man beside him and the road in front of him. Garroth furrows his eyebrows.

"Wait there's more than one?"

"There's 3 of them." Laurence says and Garroth gasps.

"3 little kids?! Ohmygosh this is a miracle." Garroth cheers. After a while of singing again, Laurence pulls into the driveway of a nice beige house right when the clock hits 8:20. Both boys climb out of the car after Laurence turns it off, walking up to the front door. Laurence knocks and not even 5 seconds later, 3 kids swing open the door while screaming Laurence's name. Garroth giggles lightly as Laurence scoops them up into his arms for a strong hug. They each looked pretty young. There were two boys and one girl. They each had tan dark skin, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. They all looked exactly alike. One of the boys looked at least 10 years old, the other boy looking about 6, and the girl looking at least 8. They were adorable. After each of them get their own hug from Laurence, they look up at the blonde who's smiling down at them.

"Is that your boyfriend Laurence?" The girl asks with an enthusiastic look drawn all over her smile.

"Hmph, not now. But soon, yes." Laurence says causing Garroth to blush with a small and soft smile.

"Laurence! ¡Quiero mi chupete!" The youngest boy cries out, clinging onto Laurence tightly. Garroth furrows his eyebrows.

"Valeria, ve a buscar el chupete de tu hermano." Laurence speaks in Spanish, making Garroth's heart soar. A goofy grin appears on the blondes pale face, capturing Laurence's attention. Laurence blushes as the girl runs upstairs, the older boy smiling kindly at Garroth.

"Do you wanna come in?" The boy asks with a polite smile. Garroth nods and kindly steps inside the house, a waft of a freshly baked batch of cookies mixed with a caramel scent attacking his nostrils. The girl comes back down the stairs with a light blue pacifier, handing it to Laurence who then puts it inside the mouth of the youngest boy. Laurence steps into the house, closing and locking the door behind him.

"Okay kiddos, lets introduce you to him, shall we?" Laurence grins while pointing at the blonde. The kids shriek in excitement, standing in a straight line. The line starts with the youngest boy on the end at the left, then the girl, and then the other boy. "Okay so this munchkin is Sebastián. He only knows how to speak Spanish, so you won't be able to understand a single thing he says," Laurence chuckles. Garroth's light eyes scan the little bean as he lets out a small giggle. "This is Valeria, the troublemaker. She enjoys to throw chestnuts at her older brother." Laurence explains with a smirk. She giggles and shoves the older boy standing at her side. The boy rolls his eyes and shoves her back, allowing Laurence to send them a warning filled yet playful glare. "She speaks english, so you'll be able to understand her. Then here at the end, is Nicolás. He's the oldest and he's very shy believe it or not. Don't worry though, once you get close to him he's like a living dinosaur," Laurence smiles at Nicolás and the boy giggles lightly. "Okay, this is Garroth and he is going to help me babysit you guys today. Valeria, I want you to get the popcorn ready for you and Garroth, so you guys will have a snack while watching me and Nicolás fail at playing Just Dance." Laurence demands and Valeria shrieks in excitement, a load of giggles escaping her mouth. She grabs Garroth's hand, leading him into the kitchen to make popcorn.

Oh boy.
