TFIL Adoption?!

Corey

*time skip to the mansion bc imma lazy piece of garbage*

When the two get back to the mansion Iyla only stares at the house in awe. Elton chuckles at her quietly from where he is holding her hand. She looks to him with wide eyes, emerald pools filled with uncertainty. He smiles in reassurance at her and unlocks the door, Circa is there to greet the two, she gets excited at the sight of a new person and promptly attacks the little girl with licks while her tail wags a hundred miles per hour. Elton smiles at the scene. Only Corey is home which will make introducing Iyla to the rest much easier. The man with his ever present man bun walks out of the kitchen wearing only a shirt and boxers with a box of cereal under one arm, he looks to the entranceway to see who is home and promptly freezes at the sight of Elton with a little girl.

“Um…”

“Hey Corey! This is Iyla she's going to be staying with us,” the look on the bearded man's face poses no arguments, “Iyla, this is Corey, he lives here too and is a friend.”

“Hi Iyla!” Corey smiles at the little girl, she is hiding behind Elton's legs but gives a shy wave in return. Corey stays smiling at her before offering her some cereal. She giggled at him from behind Elton.

“Wanna watch some TV? We got some really cool shows and a big screen…” Corey trails off temptingly. Iyla looks to Elton with hope.

“No one's stopping you, the TV is right through that door, sit tight for a moment. I wanna talk to Corey for a second.” Elton smiles at her and points in the direction of the TV. The little girl wanders too the room, Circa following.

“What the fuck?!” Corey whisper/screeches.

“Hear me out! I was out and she literally crashed into me. She was petrified of something, a giant man came - well, waddled - around the corner. He smelled so bad of booze and lack of shower. He leaves when he realizes I won't just give him a little girl who had run away from him. Long story short, Foster mom and dad are abusive and- I took her home. I plan on calling the orphanage/headquarters tonight or tomorrow for sure to all about her. I don't know man, I just -”

“You feel that need to help then an instant connection?” Corey asks with a small knowing smile. Elton simply nods.

“Alright bro. I'm with you 100% you know that, plus… she's a cute kid. Do you know how old she is?”

“No but I'm guessing two or three based on how small she is.”

Corey nods before smiling and heading into the living room, followed by Elton. They both smile at the scene on the couch, Circa is curled protectively around Iyla, who is using the husky’s stomach as a pillow as she sleeps.

“Tired from the stressed of the day it seems.” Corey comments, Elton only nods.

“I'm gonna text the rest to enter quietly, and tell them I'll explain when they get here. You go cuddle with your girls.” Corey smirks at the bearded man.

Elton smile in thanks, ignoring the light tease.

A/N - whelp Corey met Iyla! What will the others think of having the little girl in the house? ...
