Protest

Epilogue.

Beau's POV

"That's the last important thing I remember." I said, to the seventeen year old Ranji sitting across the counter, sketching something in his notebook. As I was cutting lettuce, Travis came up behind me, and left a hickey on my neck. I moaned slightly, "What the hell?" I asked him. "What? You look adorable." He said, I was wearing an apron, with no shirt underneath. I set the knife down and turned around. "After all these years you're still the same dweeb, Ren helped me win over. You're a dummy Travis Carter-" I said lovingly. He placed a finger on my lips right as I finished talking. "I don't know who you're talking about. I'm Travis Sparry." He said. I kissed him, he sat me up on the counter. He started leaning me back kissing me, Ranji climbed up on the counter and reached over pulling the knife and cutting board of lettuce out from under me. He chuckled, after a while of kissing, Trav pulled me down from the counter. I pulled the cutting board back towards me, I looked to Ranji. He was holding the knife up. "Thanks." I said, he chuckled and smiled. He handed me the knife, I continued cutting. He continued to sketch, I heard music start playing all of the sudden. The song, 'Kiss you" by one direction. 'Oh, I just wanna take you anywhere that you'd like. We can go out any day any night. Oh baby I'll take you there, take you there. Oh baby I'll take you there, yeah.' it was Ranji's phone ringing. I looked at it, I saw the name 'Matcha'. The contact picture, was Ranji on a guy's back, he was human, he was smiling. Ranji was bobbing his head to the tune. "Hey, who's, Matcha?" I asked playfully, he chuckled and I smiled. I slid his phone to him, "That song's pretty old. Good taste." I said. He answered, "Moshi Moshi?" I tilted my head, "I learned it from Ren." He said quietly, I chuckled. "Hey, Match what's up." He asked. He paused, listening to 'Match'. "I'm sitting in the kitchen, sketching." He said. "I'm chatting with Beau and keeping an eye on, Tali." He said, he spun around "Can that down a bit Tals?" He asked sweetly, to the little girl sitting on the couch. She nodded and turned the TV volume down. "Okay, yeah for sure." He said, he looked at me nervously. "I love you too." He said, he hung up. "So who's Matcha?" I said, like a girl ready to gossip, "A really good friend." He said. "You're not good at lying to me." I said, he looked up at me wide eyed. "I heard the song, saw the picture too. He's a cutie." I told him, he blushed. "Don't worry, no one is judging you." I said, he nodded and spun around again "You can turn it back up now, thanks Tali." She nodded in response. I finished making dinner, "You know what I expected you to say when I said Matcha was cute?" I asked. "What?" "Ew. Beau, please you're twenty-three." I said, playfully mocking his voice. He laughed, "Tali, can you get your brother for me?" I asked, she went to find him. "Trav, dinner is ready." I told him, he nodded and set the table. Tali came back, I looked at my family. My adorable husband, Travis, my oldest 'child', Ranji, my second youngest, Tali whose twelve, and my youngest, Azhura whose eleven. They're all adopted, we all know Ranji's story, Tali is a wolf furry with red ears and tail. I chose Azhura, because he reminded me of Ren. He's quiet, helpful, sweet, and cute. He's a human. We all sat down to eat, we finished eating at 6:45 P.M. Travis said "I'll do the dishes babe, you relax with the kids." Ranji got right back in his seat at the counter, he really likes that spot. I looked over his shoulder, he was sketching Matcha. "A really good friend, huh?" I teased, he jumped a bit. "Can see your journal?" "Sure." He said, he book marked the page his was sketching on. I closed it, and opened it up from the first page. I got a good ways through, "Wait don't look at that page." Ranji said, panic in his voice. I had already turned the page, I saw a paragraph next to it a sketch of a tree with one branch, a noose tied on it. Ranji looked down and away, I placed his journal down. I placed a hand on his shoulder, "That's from 2081." He said, trying to keep me calm. I looked at the journal, I placed my hands on his shoulders. "Ranji, that's dated two weeks ago." I told him quietly, silently tears ran down his face. I kissed his forehead, I hugged him. I looked at my best friend, his adorable bright pastel purple hair, a very dark purple streak obstructed the beautiful wavyness of his hair, making him look adorable. The doorbell rang, I let go of him. He walked to the door, he opened it. I saw a cute human with brown hair, a dash of pastel purple, the color of Ranji's hair, in his bangs. He was wearing a leather jacket, he noticed that Ranji was crying. "What's wrong?" He asked, gently pulling him into a hug. He kissed his forehead, he placed his thumb and pointer finger on his chin making Ren look at him. "Do I have your permission?" He asked, Ranji nodded. He kissed him, I smiled and walked towards them. He saw me and let go of Ranji, he stepped back scratching the back of his neck. "You must be Matcha. I've just recently heard about you." I extended my hand for him to shake, "Uhm, yeah. My real name is Match." He said shaking my hand. "I saw you ask for consent, that I respect." I told him, "Why don't you come inside for a bit?" I invited him in. We sat on the couch, "Ranji, Trav wants to talk to you." I told him, he went to Trav. "So, Match tell me about yourself." I said, "Well, I've known Ranji for about fivr years. Honestly, I really like him." He said. "Wait, you're not dating?" I asked, he shook his head. "I would like to though, do you think he likes me too?" He asked. I stood up and took Ranji's phone off the counter and sat next to him. "Call him." I told him, he called him and smiled at what he heard. After listening, he looked at the picture "I remember that picture." He said, I answered his phone and hung up, so he wouldn't get a missed call notification. I set it on the counter, "I'd assume that's a yes." He said. "I was hoping to take him on a date tonight." Ranji came back, "Ranji, will you go on a date with me." He asked, "Yes, Match. I will." He answered, kissing his cheek. I heard a familiar voice singing, a VERY familiar voice. Then I realized, it was Ren's voice singing 'Chandelier'. My eyes started to water, "Are you okay?" Match asked, sitting next to me. The voice was coming from Ranji's phone. He answered, "Moshi Moshi? Hey, Nate." I heard him say. I stood up, "I'm hanging out with Beau." He said. "I think he'd like to talk to you." He handed me the phone, I heard a voice, a voice I haven't heard in forever. "Hey, Beau how have you been?" He asked, "I've been okay, I didn't know Ranji had your number." I said. "Heh, I gave it to him when I found out he got a phone." He answered. "How have you been?" I asked, "I've been okay." He answered. "Good." I told him, "Hey, I'm gonna let you hang out with Ranji. Call me later." He asked. "Definitely." I hung up, and handed Ranji his phone. "I'm sorry." Ranji said hugging me, "For what?" I asked. "My ringtone." He said looking down, "You have every right to use that. It just caught me off guard." I told him. Match, took Ranji out for Mochi. Trav and I, put Tali and Azhura to bed. Ranji got home, on the porch, he kissed Match. He grabbed Match's hands and placed them on his hips. He came inside, "Goodnight, Match. I'll see you tomorrow." He said, Match nodded. I hugged him, "How was it?" I asked. "It was amazing, I think I have a boyfriend now." He said, hugging me tightly. He went up to his room, I started turning the lights off downtairs. I went to the kitchen, I looked at Ranji's journal, I frowned. I opened to the bookmarked page, I saw a sketch of Match. My frown turned into a slight smile. I closed his journal and turned off the light. I walked upstairs, I knocked on Ranji's door. "Come in!" I heard him say, he was wearing pajama pants, he was in the middle of taking his shirt off. I hugged him, "Goodnight, I love you." I said, "I love you too." He responded. I closed his door behind me. I went into Tali's room, she was asleep. I walked in and kissed her forehead. I went to Azhura's room, he was facing the wall. I walked up to him, "Goodnight Az." I whispered kissing his forehead. As I left, "Night, dad." He said. I opened my bedroom door, I saw Trav laying awake. He was wearing nothing, but a oversized shirt. "I was waiting for you, babe." He said, I climbed on the bed. I rested my head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around me. I fell asleep in Travis' arms.
