Fifteen year old Kairi Bennett has spent most of his life in and out of foster homes, learning how to survive by staying quiet and expecting little. When he's placed with Elias and Rowan Lane, two dads who seem too patient, too steady, and too kind to be real, he doesn't know what to do with it.
He's not used to safety.
He's not used to being seen.
And he's never really believed that people stay.
But sometimes the smallest moments-quiet breakfasts, a ride home after school, a voice that says "you're okay here"-can start to change everything.

Note: This story is no longer being updated. There was an epilogue posted with a time jump, but that is it! Additionally, older chapters have not been proof-read for mistakes and may contain grammar and punctuation errors. I apologize for any inconvenience! "What's your name?" The older girl asked,her bright emerald eyes boring into the younger girl's. "Averi," the younger replied, not breaking eye contact. "Averi..." The older persisted, wanting a surname. "Averi Grace James" the young girl said with a slight shake. And that was all the conformation the bright eyed girl needed. cover credit to @slothtatoComplete
Volcano Meets Tonardo (gxg)
We are told that if it's not perfect it's not enough. We are called insane for breaking every rule. We are told that we should change and only then we'll be happy. We are convinced that there is no going back and hell is our final destination. They have a blueprint of how our lives will end and never a solution to better the plan. I say there is a way out every mess, an alley to heaven. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to accept defeat and let her lead. She thought I was perfect when everybody else didn't. I fell in love with a soul like mine. My Tonardo... ______________________________________ This is not some holy holy book, It's not rated PG nor Family friendly.
