"You're mad at me?"

"Oh, no! No no no no no! I'm so happy, I could roast you right here, right now with my happiness" Beam grumbled but sat down beside him with a pout.

"I didn't just hand him your address, you need to know that" Lam said as they watched Forth carry Oon on his shoulders as they ran after Pharm. 

"What do you mean?"

"He came to me before he left for Paris" Lam said. "He asked me if I'd allow him to come back to you both. He said he had to go and finish his contract for his show and clear his head. But then he will be back. And he will properly court you. And Oon"

"And you said yes?" Beam huffed. "Just like that?"

"No" Lam huffed. "What do you take me for?" he asked and Beam raised his eyebrows. "First I kicked his nuts, then I punched his nose and then I said yes" Lam informed him proudly and he facepalmed. 

"Stupid! Idiot!" Beam growled at him and then smiled at his son who was waving at him frantically. "I want to kill you! This... this is courting? He has taken over my whole house!"

"What? He's sleeping on a couch" Lam said casually and laughed when Beam jumped on top of him to bite and claw him wildly. It took him a while to get rid of the clawing monster who only got off when he realized Oon had stopped playing to clap and cheer him on to bite uncle Lam's head off. 

"Happy?" Lam huffed and he huffed back, looking away with puffed cheeks. Lam laughed and wrapped an arm around him. "It's been over four years since I have been trying to get you to even look at someone else, let's make peace that, that ain't gonna happen" he sighed. "I was mad at him, I still am. But... he's your happiness. Both your happiness" he said as he pointed at Forth who now had Oon in his arms, flying him around like an airplane. 

Beam looked down with a sigh. "He will be tired soon. He can not commit to anything except his travel guide" he said so sadly.

"And you think I don't know that?" Lam asked, patting Beam's head. "I know him too. And I know this, he is Forth. He won't give up on the fame and luxury and every other fanciness that travel show offered him. For anyone. But he did for you. He didn't renew his contract with the company. He came back. Only for you two" 

Beam looked up at Lam. 

"Snowball, can you do something to your child you know would end up hurting him?" Lam asked. "You're maybe just a year younger than me, but like Oon is your child, you're mine"

Beam bit his lower lip while Lam smiled reassuringly at him. 

"I love you, baby brother. I didn't give him the chance to be with you, I gave him permission to come to ask you for a chance. It's you I'm giving the chance to have your happiness" Lam smiled at him and then gave Forth a sadistic sneer. "Whatever you wanna do to him, is up to you! I just wanna relax back and enjoy it. Torture him if you want" he laughed. "Seems like your son is doing that already" 

Beam looked and chuckled. Oon had now managed to wrap himself around Forth's head, pulling on his hair and cackling like a maniac.

"Should we stop him?" Lam asked.

"Nah, let them be. Let's go have coffee" Beam patted his shoulder and got up with Lam following right after him while Forth cried for them to help him.

"I'll fall down Bee!"

"It's a one-foot high stool you stupid. You won't die, even if you fall you big Fort!"

"You're cruel!"

"Shut up!"

"Hey!" Forth complained.
