caged emotions

Chapter 3. hidden passion

I want comments! I want to chat with people about my book😭. Well, it can't be helped...
Here's your chapter!

Goth needed more then 5 minutes. More like 20. It was enough time for all of them to settle down and a little bit of smalltalk. Rurik got a coffee and Raven got rid of the shattered plates, or better said: put them into a bag and give them to Rurik to 'reuse them later'. Nobody asked for what. This was Underfell after all. Sometimes you're better off not knowing.

When Raven asked Goth what hold him up he started ranting about how he couldn't put Ruriks present into a bookshelf, because it was special and he couldn't just put it anywhere and it needed a safe and special place where he could always see it. After around 10 minutes of ranting he said he put it in a bookshelf for safe keep, but so he could see the front and not the spine.

"So Rurik what is your job? I know you are a big fish in the streetgang circle but you wont tell me you don't have a real job and still dare to date my son. Soo~?" ,asked Geno with a pretty creepy grin, that even made Reaper keep quiet.
"Don't worry about that Mr.Geno. I have a stable job. Strolling through the streets is more a hobby of mine. I am an artist. A pretty famous one too. Even if I'm not number one there are a lot of people who pay a lot of money for my art. Museums and rich guys. And as long as I don't retire I will still have a stable income.
I will use the shatters too. Probably for modern art. I thougt about selfmade frames for my pictures...
Even so I don't use the name Rurik as an artist so it will get hard for you to find my art. And I won't help you." ,he answered.

The whole table gaped at that. The most feared monster in the city was a passionate artist and didn't take the gangs seriosly. They were a hobby.

"Well I would love to see your art one day." ,was Genos reply to that. A weak attempt to save the situation, but it worked. "No problem. You can visit my house someday. There it's packed with work. How about next saturday?" , Rurik suggested. "We would love to. Around lunchtime?" "That's fine with me. I need to go now. I have a meeting with a customer in one hour and need to look... presentable." With that Rurik stood up and said goodbye before leaving.

A long time the family stayed quiet, before Raven said something.

"Well that was interesting. What do you think?" "As long as he doesn't bring problems I'm fine with him." "I really like that guy. He has guts and humor. Ya picked good Goth." "..." "Goth? Ya okay?" Goth swooned from side to side with his eyes fixed on the door. Suddenly he started giggling like a madman, swooning hard, a blush coating his face. "He's an artist! A real artist. That would explain why he's that good in drawing. It's not just his hobby, but his job. Well he has the hands for one. Delikate, thin fingers. White, without a scratch. He himself could be a piece of art. A real masterpiece. Ahh~." He was interrupted by Geno hitting the bag of his head. "Shut up. I know you're madly in love, but don't annoy me with your daydreaming." Goth rubbed the back of his head, slowly turning to his mother. "Ohh, you should keep quiet mom. I have never even once said anything about you ranting over dad for nothing. So how about you do your thing and I do mine, hm?"
Geno kept quiet. He know he complained a lot about Reaper for only annoying or teasing him. He really had no place to tell Goth to be quiet. He turned around, not saying anything. His form of accepting.

But he made sure to make clear who had the pants on in this family when lunchtime arrived.
After a pretty meager breakfast he made the food Goth disliked the most.

"That's payback, isn't it?"
