It was a summer's day in CounterCo-Tale and ossey joined by lament were sitting outside in the winter snow enjoying the environment as kids rushed around putting up decor and laughing. Lament smiled at the passing children but as he turned his head he seen a rather wronge feeling frown on osseys face. "Ossey everything ok?.." lament said quietly patting osseys back. Ossey sighed resting on his hand "its. Just, ST is like a daughter to me and soon she'll me going to persue her dreams soon. And I've been thinking alot about starting a family."
"Dear you realise we cant do what others can." Lament interrupted for ossey could fit anything ealse in. "We could adopt." Ossey said curiously. "What happens if I'm not ready for a family?" Lament said sternly putting his point across that he wasnt interested in a family, at least not at the momment. "Then I'll wait for when you are ready. Your happyness comes first menty remember that." A small blush formed on laments face as he covered it with his sleeves "d-dont call me menty." He choked out. Ossey giggled before grabbing laments hand and softly pulling him "let's go home." Ossey said. Seemed he was getting cold. "Sure just watch out you dont slip on ice." Lament replied. Ossey walked over smirking. Not a peep was heard but a small squeak from lament as ossey picked him up in his arms. "What are you doing?" Lament said tired. "Making sure you dont slip." Ossey chuckled before starting to walk home. Lament was unadmittadly comfy. He had never felt more safe in his life.

After awhile they reached home. Ossey sat lament down and looked in his pocket for his keys when lament heard an usual racket from a near bush. Looking at it out of curiosity there was a small child. He looked around 5 or 6. A skeleton his head floating from his body and parts of his skull floating to. His colored bones clashed together making it so hard to see. He softly cradled the younger boy in his arms "hey kid wheres your parents?" He asked quietly. The small kid just cried. Ossey noticed and walked over "hey kid?.." the small child clinged onto lament and softly looked up at ossey wiping his own eyes. "Wheres your parents?.." lament got comfy and cradled the young boy slower to calm him down "i-i dont have p-parents..." those words were the only thing be could say before bursting out in tears again. Ossey felt his eyes light up and he kneeled down. "Well you can stay with us of you want.." lament looked at him alittle irritated. Ossey sighed looking away sad. "I can stay?..." the small boy blurted out. Lameny looked at osseys dull face and realized that maybe he should try and cheer him up for once. "Of course you can." lament said sweetly. Osseys jumped up in glee hugging lament and whispering "thank you thank you thank you thank you." Repetively. Lament got up taking the child inside and sitting him down on the couch near the fire place. Ossey walked over to lament wrapping his arms around laments waiste and lament doing the same. Ossey smiled softly leaning his head on laments "hey I'm gonna go get the kid some cloths could you bath him?" Lament nodded "anything for you." Ossey gave lament a small peck before going out again. Lament then walked over picking up the kid and taking him to the bathroom. By the time ossey got home he was greeted with the small child with a towel around him looking rather comfy. Lament was just next to him playing what seemed to be a games console with the kid. Ossey walked over picking the kid up. Lament laughed looking around as the kid hugged ossey He then went upstairs to change him. A few minutes later coming back down stairs lament saw the small boy in a off white top, black trousers and white socks accompanied by a orange hoodie he seemed to love. The kid jumped on the couch next to lament and hugged him. "So what's his name?" Lament shrugs before looking down at the kid. "Hey kid.. what's your name?.." the kid looked up at him smiling "well I never new my name so I gave myself a name! Cronk lad." Ossey seemed to be holding back laughter. Lament patted his head trying not to laugh "well you'll be staying here for now cronk."

Days past and cronk had became apart of there small family. He was now attending school and lament and ossey were ecstatic to be looking after another small child again and ST no longer needed there guidance. When she did come over she adored cronk as if he was her little brother. Although something happened one day. Lament was in the kitchen making ST something to eat as she had just came over when cronk came in from school. Sitting down his bag he say ossey walk into the kitchen and swiftly followed behind. "Hi father hi dad!" He said happily, lament looked at ossey and ossey looked back. Lament felt his face heat up at he looked at cronk "what did you call me?"
"Father." Cronk said blankly as if it was natural. Ossey hugged cronk. "So I'm your dad!?" Cronk nodded hugging ossey. Lament walked over hugging cronk and well. He almost felt himself cry. Never up to this point had he thought he could ever want a family untill he met cronk ST and ossey. Walking in he gave ST her food and sat down. "So.. ossey? Were where you today?.." ossey looked nervous he laughed shakily. Lameny immediantly expected the worse. And sat quietly his voice getting steady and serious and his calm facial expression turning into a snarl. "So?" Ossey sat down and softly pulled a small white fluff ball out of his jacket. Lament stared at it before touching its silky fur. A small face popped out and it formed a dog. It.. it was a small white fluffy dog. Cronk gasped in awe before hugging it and petting it. Lament looked at ossey unamused. "I found it when I was at work." Ossey replied. "What do you even work as?" Lament sighed "I travel aus. Turns out stuff from my old au costs hella in other aus so I've been selling stuff." Lament stood up he seemed pissed "OSSEY WE WHERE SUPPOSED TO HEY BACK THOSE AUS NOT SELL THEM." ossey looked away and cronk went upstairs scared. He hated it when lament shouted. ST stayed to listen as she felt she was old enough to deal with this. Ossey got up at looked at lament sternly "face it. Our aus are gone. Theres no way of getting them back.." lament went into a rage punching ossey. Ossey stood his ground and delt with the pain. "You're so ungrateful.." he hissed "what!?" lament said. "You have everything here! A family a house a loving kid and..boyfriend. but it's never enough." Ossey started walking away to the door when all of a sudden a bullet like sludge that was far to familiar flew past him almost hitting him. "Lament. Back down. I'm going. Go cool off in your own time." Lament grinded his teeth in annoyance "JUST FACE ME COWARD." Lament had hit osseys last nerve as he turned around pulling out his sword and threw it at lament. The sword pierced throw the side of his shorts as if ossey missed on accident. Ossey walked over pissed pinning lament to the wall. His hand slowly trailed down lament as osseys face got closer. Lament softly sobbed as ossey took the sword out putting it back in its case. "Get to your senses already." Ossey whispered before turning to leave. Lament grabbed osseys arms hugging him "i-im sorry I'm really sorry dont go.." ossey turned around it looked like he was holding back tears himself. ST got up going to the kitchen to put her plate away "its obvious you two love each other to much to fight so just say sorry and get on your love bird way." She said cleaning the plate and then walking out. Ossey didnt waiste any time with what ST said and hugged lament closely kissing him. Moving away ossey looked down before lament hugged him again "can we just agree this was a small fight and it wont happen again?..."
"Of course.." ossey replied to lament before both went up to put cronk to bed and head to bed themself. Getting ready lament got into hed and curld up in the covers getting comfy. Ossey smiled at him and jumped in beside him cuddling him. Both skeletons locked there bodys together creating warmth before drifting to sleep..
