Trust me

slumber parties and good mornings

They sat in the car watching the world outside the window go by.
Wyatt rubbed his nose and itched the back of his head.
...
He stiffened as a sleeping Latinos' head landed on his shoulder.
'Thank gosh Brandon isn't here'
Naomi yawned and stretched her arms.
"Mom why does Wyatt have to stay over again"
Her mother glanced up at the rearview mirror.
"Because sweetie, Gammy called and said she wouldn't be back till morning and Wyatt doesn't want to stay with his uncle"
Wyatt scoffed.
"Why not, he lives in like a palace"
Mara chuckled.
"City hall is not a palace sweetie, besides Kyle isn't the most hospitable anyway"
She slunk in her seat.
"Why didn't dad come with us"
"Your father went to drop off aunt Tracey at home"
Wyatt turned his head to see Naomi sleepily rub her eyes, he looked at Gage. The speed demons eyes fluttered slightly, his little button nose twitched as he slept. He would never say it out loud, but Gage was adorable when he was sleeping.
"Gage hun how are you doing back there, you've been awfully quiet"
Wyatt shifted a bit.
"He fell asleep Mrs. Janets"
A soft smile fell upon her lips.
"Ok"

She opened the garage when they reached the house. Climbing out she made her way over to Naomi's side of the car. She opened the door, undid the young girl's seatbelt and lifted her small frame in her arms. She looked to Wyatt before closing the door.
"Would you mind carrying him in for me"
He nodded as he undid his seat belt.
"No problem"
He hopped out of the car careful not to let the sleeping boy fall.
Undoing his seat belt Wyatt pulled Gage towards the door. He put one arm under his shoulders and the other under his knees. He lifted him out of the car and closed the door with his foot.

Wyatt followed Mara to the garage door, she pulled out a key and unlocked the door. It swung open with a creak and they walked in. Mara flicked on the living room lights, the plush couch and chairs just screamed out to Wyatt as he put Gage down on the couch sitting down beside him momentarily after. His eyelids felt heavy, Mara's words becoming muffled as his vision began to turn black.
...
..
.
He heard birds, smelled bacon, and felt... warm breathe. He opened his eyes to see green parallel to his own. His surprise was short-lived as a wet slobbery tongue ran across his face. He wiped his face and smiled.
"Good morning turtle" in front of him was a large german shepherd dog, his green collar held a gold license tag. The dog barked and padded away.
He chuckled as he attempted to get up... wait. He looked forward. Gage lay there on top of Wyatt fast asleep, his steady breathing and peaceful expression were calming in away.
"Uh Mrs. Janets"
Footsteps came close to the couch. George's face emerged from behind the couch.
"Mara left for work awhile ago bud, it's just us"
"What about school"
George shrugged.
"The district closed the junior high for the rest of the week, said something about coping with what happened yesterday"
He went back to the kitchen.
"Hey can I get some help"
...

"Nope, you can wait till he gets up" Wyatt huffed and plopped his head down. He was so glad Brandon wasn't here.
He sat there and waited, he must have fallen back asleep because he woke back up to poking on his nose.
A caramel smile greeted him.
"Morning sleepy head"
He smiled as well.
"Morning Gagey Wagey"
"Why don't you two just fuck already"
Both boys turned to the front door, standing there was a 16-year-old Korean girl, her long black hair had one single red stripe down the right side. Gage smiled and waved.
"Hi Ren"
She walked over ruffled his hair.
"Hey squirt, sup fucktard"
Wyatt snarled at her.
"At least I can"
George shouted from the kitchen.
"It's way too early for you two to start fighting"
Gage climbed off of Wyatt and made his merry way to the kitchen.
"No seriously why don't you just fuck each other already"
He shrugged. Sitting up on the couch to stretch better
"We could you would just never know" he stood and went to the kitchen.
"Wyatt, Renai please try not to fight today"
Ren raised her hand.
"Why am I here"
George turned away from the stove.
"Because I need to run some errands and I need you to watch the kids"
He got a little defensive.
"I don't need a babysitter"
"The older man rolled his eyes.
"Sorry correction I need you to watch May and make these two stay out of trouble while you're at it. How about that"
His shoulders sunk. Gage just laughed.
"We'll go to the garage"
