Sheâs my Kingdom Hearts OC (and sure do Iâll keep her for an old novel if ever I succeed to write it one day.)
Sheâs cheerful and happy but sheâs walking the dark path because sheâs MoM companion. They just pass through time together. Theyâre more friends who would kiss and do hug once in a while that real partners but they love this relationship.
Sheâs asexual and she us a wand to fight.
Also, she wouldnât hesitate to steal MoMâs clothes.
Here sheâs as Iâd picture her if sheâd go in Atlanticaâs World...
I wanted to do a âquick drawing, on tinier space and try new way to color quickerâ to prepare myself for the Mermay... I ended up doing a whole drawing that took me too much time.
There are severals headcanons there.
And I love the matching tattoos...
One day I should stop drawing them in those weirds wlothes (but not now.)
Do you even still love me? (+ou- 300 words) (I found it here)
(You can see it as a ship or not, as your wish!)
âDo you even still love me?â
The words swirled in his memories. The words were there when he had to face the Heroes of LightâŠ
The plan was becoming worse and worse. Vexen was supposed to do a fake Riku, experiment on him, use him as a pawn to have Sora. At first, it was for their Lord but now it was for Marluxia? He didnât like the idea of being held on the other side of Marluxiaâs thread.
He wasnât an object, he wasnât stupid!
It was already difficile enough to have to deal with Xemnasâ plans. But those?
And yetâŠ
He was here.
He was passing from hand to hand.
And those words resonated in his mind.
âDo you even still love me?â
The plan had become worse and worse. And now, Fire was licking his skin. He could feel the blood flood because of the spike of a chakram. Axel⊠He should have seen that coming. And yet⊠Yet, he didnât have.
He was losing everything.
Not because he had made the wrong choices lately because⊠Because he could have never made another choice.
The only choices he still was able to deal with, that was the day he decided to continue to work with Ansem. From this moment, he walked to his Doom.
He lost his Heart that day but that wasnât the worst. The worst had been to lose Ienzoâs Heart. The worst has been to see everything crumble on itself. Bit by bitâŠ
And the last words, that meant to him, in his life, where thoseâŠ
âDo you, Even, still love me?â
Eleven years after, he never stopped loving his Ienzo. And now⊠he will never see him againâŠ

With one burden on his shoulders, or more likely in his hand, Luxu had to leave each of his friends. It was hard. He felt really lonely. He was supposed to wander? Like that? Toward where? Toward whom?
But his dear Master had asked him something. And he just couldnât not do what he expected him for. Whatever he will be alone for centuries or millennia before having the chance to see his friends again, his Master.
At least, he could see pretty things, beautiful landscapes!
And yet.
One day, he was just in a World among so many other Worlds. He was walking for days. At this point, every mountain, every grass seemed to be the same. He just needed to rest. He let himself fall in a field covered by fairies and pushed down his hood, stretching with a smile. The feeling of the fresh grass under him and the smell of the flowers was delightful. He grabbed a flower and a petal, tiring it out before looking up to the blue sky. He slid the flower in his hair and passed his arms behind his head.
He should find something to eat though he hadnât much money left. His dear Master didnât give him much pocket money.
âStop it! Stop!â
Luxu turned in the grass and daisies. Looking away, he saw someone running after a dog, holding a big hayfork.
The dog had a basket in his big mouth and his body was so thin.
Luxu leaped on his feet, cast a spell of protection and illusion over the box and the Keyblade installed on it. He summoned his own Keyblade and disappeared, coming back between the hayfork and the dog. He raised his weapon, stopping the other.
âStop!â he said.
âStop the dog!â
âThe poor thing is almost dead! Let it eat a bit. Is it such a big deal?â
âThatâs my food.â
The Keyblade slid against the big fork.
âSeeing your clothes and the size of that basket, youâre struggling to have food. Go get other food,â he said.
âOr what?â
Luxu could hear the poor dog moaning just behind him.
âSomeone who doesnât want to feed a starving creature isnât someone good. I slay whatâs not good,â Luxu said.
The person with the basket looked him and⊠just paced backward.
âHe can have itâŠâ
âThank you very much,â Luxu said.
He let his Keyblade vanish and he moved back. Though he waited for this someone to leave and, finally, he turned toward the dog. He was still moaning, sad and bad looking. He walked to him and knelt by their side. He caressed his yellow fur, very short, against his bones. He was really in sad shape and wondered how it was even possible that they had run so much.
âPoor dog.â
He caressed his head and scratched him behind his long black ears.
Then, he moved his hands, placing them in a cup shape. As he did, water appeared in them. The dog woofed happily and lapped. He couldnât get enough water because each time it was about to be completely drunk, water appeared again.
And this until the dog finally had enough.
âGood dog!â
Luxu caressed his head, smiling. He wiped his hands over his pants and got the basket to open it to the beast. He took some meat and even sandwiches to offer them to the animal. Which pushed a big sausage toward the Keyblade wielder, his thin tail waving.
âAw? Youâre sharing? Youâre so cute!â
He caressed him again and took the sausage because he did was really hungry.
Together, they shared a bit of this basket.
In fact, it was really full and they couldnât end everything alone. He wondered how many people had to be fed with this. But now, it was just two people. Well, a person and a dog.
âThank you for the meal! Have the rest and eat when you can,â Luxu said to him.
He made sure that the dog could open the basket with his nose without any problem and then got up.
He walked toward the box and the Keyblade. The illusion spell disappeared at this moment, of course. The Keyblade was now, on the one hand, and the other was closing around the big and heavy box he tugged after him.
He moved, knowing he had to travel. Again and again. Searching after someone able to recreate what his Master wished was someone that took so many of his time. All his time.
As he continued his trip, he heard something.
A moan.
A moan coming from a dog.
Luxu turned toward the poor beast that bend their head, sliding it between their paws. And it moaned again.
âWhat do you have, good boy?â He frowned. âBoy⊠Girl?â
The dog shook his head.
âBoy then?â Luxu smiled.
âWaf!â
âNice! But what do you have?â
The dog straightened a bit and walked to him, pressing his head against his thigh.
Luxu crouched next to him, letting go on the box to caress his head.
âYou want to come with me?â
âWaf!â
âOkay! I could use a bit of company!â the young Master said with a smile.
He scratched the dog behind the ear, once again. He was really happy to have him by his side. To have someone to talk with without looking weird. Because, yes, he could to himself or to the box, but come on!
Now, he had a dog to help him through the journey.
He had say goodbye to every of his friends but his Master never said to him he couldnât make new friends while this impossible and endless task.
Right?
âBut you will need to have a name, now,â Luxu said.
And he definitely needed to find him a collar. Green. Probably green because it would be so good with his fur and his big eyes full of love.
And intelligence.
He could maybe take a medal and would grave the precious name he would give him. A name that could actually fit him and a nocuous Destiny, graved in the History incoming. The Oblivion? The incomprehension?
But so much love and tenderness when you knew how to search.
âWhat about âPlutoâ?â Luxu grinned.
The dog yowled with joy and licked him happily. Luxu laughed and hugged him tightly, accepting this affection.
 It was pretty late. It was holidays so Gavin let his daughter watch Anastasia she loved so much. So it was only this late when he went to the door. The little girl was asleep in her bed, her plush in her arms. He smiled, seeing Connor kiss the little forehead.
âYou did great with her,â he muttered as they went out.
âI think whatever Iâll do, sheâll love it anyway,â the Android said with a smile.
âItâs right but she really hates the bitch Dave fuck so⊠it must be you.â Gavin took the sweet reddish lips between his. âI should say, Iâm pretty seduced too.â
Connor smiled.
âYou both seduced me too. I feel really good with you.â
The Human threw a little smile to him and went to the furnace to put the food in the refrigerator.
âDo you find what you want to ask to Santa?â
âIâve idea. I wanted to take more time but Hank⊠Daddy said I must tell quick enough to Santa what I want because he need time to prepare it.â
âYeah. Itâs for the twenty fourth.â
âI thought it was the twenty fifth?â
âHm⊠He often brought the present to the parents for the twenty fourth.â
âBut is it he or⊠they? I saw few guys like Santa in the street. Chris Miller even said one Santa was a robber.â
âSanta asks help to a lot of people because he canât take care of everybody at the same time. Thatâs why there is so much fake Santa. And some are jackass availing their status to do bad things.â
âI sound certainly stupid for youâŠâ
âWhy?â Gavin clipped the last Tupperware to put everything in the refrigerator.
âYou talk to me like to Elizabeth when you explain a thingâŠâ
âConnorâŠâ The man looked up. âItâs just⊠Itâs the habit. Youâre so fucking smart. Even more than me.â He turned on the water to do the dishes.
âOkay.â The Android approached. âLet me do. You need toâŠâ
âTo nothing. A certain stupid and cute robot managed to send me on vacation. You, on the other hand, you worked all day. So just enjoy. Watch something on TV, read. Take time for you.â
âI like to be with you,â Connor smiled.
âThen just come put your lovely ass there!â Â He touched the workplan.
The boy joined him and sat on it. He was already taller than Gavin but from there, he could see him in a total different view. He liked that. He watched him do the dishes, glasses and forks or knifes. Two mugs passed too.
âWhat do you do with Elizabeth?â
âYou know⊠Itâs not an obligation but you can give to her a nickname. Sheâll be happy.â
âI noticed you do that. And Captain Allen. And⊠daddy call her âLizzieâ?â
âYeah. He knows her well.â
âDid she used toâŠâ
âYes. Johanna used to say her son will marry my daughter. But she was completely crazy. Iâd shot the boy before he touched my kid.â He looked up to Connor whom seemed chocked. âItâs a way to talk. I didnât want to harm Cole. He was a nice boy. Didnât like the mother, thought. Great mom butâŠâ
âDid she left?â
âYeah. As I know, it wasnât great joy between them before Cole but the boy stick them together and for a while they looked happy again? Then there was the accident and she said to Hank it was his fault. Again and again.â Gavin put a dish in the plate rack. âAnd then she left him.â
âI donât get itâŠâ
âWhat?â Gavin asked, putting a mug upside down with the dishes.
âWhy Captain Allen left you when you had Elizabeth and why it helped the couple for HankâŠâ
âPeople are different. Thatâs it. For example, Hank is a better father.â
âGavinâŠâ
âLook the amazing son he has.â The man winked to him.
Well⊠he still wasnât able to wink so it was difficult for Connor to get it as such.
âThank you?â
âYouâre welcome.â He finished with the cutlery.
âBut⊠why do you say heâs a better father? Youâre great.â
âLetâs take an exampleâŠâ Gavin took a towel. âHe doesnât have problem to make ends meet. So his kid has always what he wanted.â
âWhatâs the problem?â
âWell, you know, less moneyâŠâ
Connor bent toward him.
âNo. Whatâs the problem?â
He caressed his cheek softly while the man looked up with towel in one hand and glass plate in the other.
âThe current problem. I saw you were sad, and didnât want me to eat⊠Itâs not a problem for me. But youâŠâ
âIâŠâ
Gavin didnât like to open his heart. Before, he thought he could count on Elijah but now he wasnât even sure. Then he met a perfect man like David and he couldnât compete against him. When he wanted to talk about his problems, it seemed heâll be humiliated by his boyfriend. Not voluntarily, of course. Then he hadnât much friends.
He was used to just shut his mouth. And he thought it was manlier to keep them for him. So he did itâŠ
âElizaâ wants to go to the ice rink tomorrow. And you know what⊠?â
âYou donât have the money?â
âYeah. Itâs twenty stupid dollars and I donât even have that. Well⊠I can have them but I wonât eat when Elizaâ will be at her dadâs. Thatâs seem the right thing to do?â
âYou even already donât eat⊠You need that eat. Why is it so expansive?â
âBecause we need to rent the skates. It five dollars per person. And the price to get in⊠I canât bring my daughter skate if she wants to and Dave can go skiing in the mountain. Itâs awesome for him and Elizaâ, of course. Itâs just lame from me. In fact Iâm just so dumb⊠Iâm crumbled because of the debts, so much debts, and I just contracted more.â
âWhy?â
âBecause⊠itâs nothing. You donât need to care about that. Itâs just⊠Maybe I should take a second job since Fowler doesnât want me to work more.â
âDoes the holidays are paid?â
âWeâll know at the end of the month,â Gavin replied as he tidied the dishes.
As he talked, he was drying everything, mechanically. It seemed he never had dishwasher but it wasnât a problem.
âDo you think you can live like that?â
âYeah⊠I just want my daughter to be happy⊠It seems difficult. I donât have nice stuff, a lot of moneyâŠâ
âBut you pass time with her and take care of her.â
âAnd I waited for you to push my ass on vacation. Pathetic.â Gavin sighed and closed the closet where he just put his mug. Then, he turned toward Connor and took him in his arms to put him in the floor.
However, Connor passed his arms around his shoulders.
âI donât know you well and not since longtime. I even didnât see Elizabeth so much but she looks happy. She loves you. She talks so much about you. She talks about Captain Allen too, of course. But she loves you.â
âThank you⊠Iâm only afraid that, one day, sheâll hate me or realize I have nothing to offer to her.â
âYou have a lot to offer to her. And everyone.â
âYouâre sweet. You donât know life, thatâs allâŠâ
âI donât, yes, but you make me feel things I would never without you. Even daddy canât teach me that. I like to be on his arms but thatâs not the sameâŠâ
Gavin took him softly in his arm and hugged him. The boy snuggled against him, saying a little âthankâ as he smiled.
âAs long as youâre ready to do things for other, no matter what, I think you have to offer.â
âSweet.â
âYou donât think so?â
âI donât. But thatâs sweet when you say it.â
âI canât change your mind.â
âYou canât. But you can install you in the sofa or go take a shower with me?â
âI can? We didnât since the first time soâŠâ
Gavin nodded slightly. He caressed his cheek and took his hand to lead him in the bathroom. They had already put clothes in the bathroom since Gavin didnât want they disturb Elizabeth for such thing. She deserved nice and sweet dreams.
When they arrived there, Gavin started to undress. He was never uneasy when it came to the up part or even his trousers. Â He even smiled when Connor went against his back to kiss his shoulders, his neck and let his palms came on the tattoo.
He pressed his lips against the up of his back, following the shoulders.
âI can stay like that forever. I just want to be with you.â
Gavin took his hand on his. He caressed it softly.
âYouâre so fucking sweet. How itâs even possible?â
âI donât know. Iâm me.â
Connor pressed his lips on the scapula.
âI donât know why I deserve someone like youâŠâ
âHuuush. Stop being pessimist. Please?â
âYouâll be happy if I smile?â
âOnly if you feel it.â
Gavin turned his head toward him and looked his big brown eyes.
âTalk to meâŠâ
âOkay. Oh! Iâd like to listen to music. Can you help me to listen to music and like it? I can analyze everything but I canât listen to music.â
âElizaâs asleep but yes. Not tonight but soon.â Gavin took his hand and kissed it. âWhat do you want to listen to? Do you already know?â
âDaddy likes Jazz and Heavy Metal.â
âPunchy,â Gavin replied, kissing the palm.
Looking the arm, he could see that Connor was topless, like him. And feeling him against his legs, he could feel he hadnât clothes there. When they didnât play, he could undress easier, quicker.
And that sensuality was good and pleasant too.
âIâm not fond in Jazz. But Iâll listen some with you.â
âThank you. Iâd like to listen to what Hank loves. And⊠you.â
âI love RockânâRoll and I like Cyan from Kindness but not for the same reason. And the band Doves.â
âDoves that seems cute!â
âYeah, the lyrics are less cute,â Gavin replied as he kissed his fingers.
He looked the hand, with sweet beauty spot, and smiled when he felt the kiss on his spine. He wanted to kiss him in return but couldnât right now. Maybe he could push him to turn around? However, he had Connorâs hand on his belly, the arm squeezing slightly.
He caressed this hand, joining their finger. He felt calm with him. His lips against his warm skin were like catâs kiss.
âIn the end⊠you feel the cold.â
âAnd the warm, yes. But Iâm not sure itâs useful and didnât want to frighten you.â
âYou put yourself in danger and I hate that⊠Iâll put the water as warm as I can. Then, weâll cuddle under a lot of covers.â
âThat seems nice! I like the cuddle.â
âWhat do you really like?â
Gavin kissed his wrist and let the hand of his lover travel on his chest, find the little hair he was so proud of, go to his belly and touch his abdominals. He kissed more and more that hand because he couldnât do better.
Connor went up and pressed a kiss on his cheek.
âI like working with daddy. Make friends, but I donât success to⊠I like you and Elizabeth! Then daddy, Felix and Sumo, of course. Oh! I like dogs!â
âI like cats. They donât piss off people. âPlease, I need to pee, make me go out.â The cat goes on his litter and thatâs finish. They can hunt. Theyâre smart.â
âIsnât it the cats that push off everything from the table? And never decide if they want to go out or in?â Connor asked.
âThey⊠do it, yes. Still, theyâre better than dogs.â
âBut dogs are cool. And Sumo is awesome. Heâs fluffy and soft. The night, he comes to my room and we sleep together!â
Gavin looked the happy face. He had taken his other hand to caress it or kiss it and caress his cheek to. It was the second hand that roamed his chest now, finding the scars, the hump and the hollow. He was so beautiful. So precious. Innocent.
âYou sleep?â
âI can sleep. Or go in stand by, if you prefer. But itâs true I just passed the night to caress him! Oh! Last night, I read the books you said to me to read. Do the Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.â
Gavin laughed and kissed his palm then his wrist while the boy continued. He even didnât heard the âsorryâ but it wasnât useful.
âFirst of all, the reply is ânoâ. Not me in any case. Secondly, I read it in internet because it was easier. Itâs easier and I can pet Sumo while Iâm reading then. And finally, I really liked it. ButâŠâ
Connor pressed his forehead against Gavinâs shoulder.
âIn the same time, I didnât. It was a kind of deviant Hunter so I wasnât very happy about that.â
âIâm sorry.â
âItâs nothing. It was nice. Just⊠as Iâm a Deviant now, and deviancy seems to be good, I feel bad.â
âJust think we wouldnât meet without that my dear plastic pet.â
Connor laughed a bit and kiss his cheek.
âThank you.â
âThis time, letâs tryâŠâ
He thought as he took both Connorâs hand in his, playing with them.
âWhatâs your favorite book?â
âHard to say⊠Wycliffe and the Four Jack? But I like all the Wycliffe and the Dalziel and Pascoe, too. And⊠of course, Agatha Christie stuff.â
âTheyâre all Crime Novels?â
âYup.â
âSo thatâs from you Elizabeth got that?â Connor laughed.
âYep. And sheâs a geek because of her dad.â
Gavin smiled to him and the Android smiled back to him but he ended up surprise. He could feel his hands going down. He could feel the fabric on his fingersâŠ
âWhat do you want me to do?â Connor asked softly.
âTake it off if you want toâŠâ
âYou sure?â
âYeah.â
Connor approached a little bit and kiss his shoulder softly.
âI wonât touch you there,â he swore with so much sweetness in his tone.
âThanksâŠâ
The Android let his hands down and took the thin fabric with it, caressing with love the strong thigh. He felt Gavinâs breath increase. Maybe it was nothing, as for his heartbeat, but he could feel it. He bent to kiss his throat and let the boxer fall on the floor. He put his hand on his belly, the other coming on his pectoral, near of the heart.
Gavin rid off everything he still has. Like the elastic that helped to keep the fake penis helping him to feel more manly. He could STP, Stand To Pee, with that and when person looked down, it was something on his pants.
But it wasnât at him.
Since he couldnât leave and throw the stuff in his clothes. Heâll take care of that, cleaning, tidying it, later.
âYouâre beautiful,â Connor muttered gently.
âHmâŠâ
âDo you want to undress me?â
âYeah?â
Gavin turned around in his arms and Connor kissed him softly.
âI can go if you nâŠâ
âNo. I want you to stay with me. Youâre so sweet.â
âBut youâre used to that, no?â
Gavin shook his head.
âWith Captain Allen⊠he seems to like you very much.â
âYeah and he liked to put his dick over there. And that was fucking humiliating.â
Connor hugged him more tightly.
âBut⊠in the end, itâs a nice thing because you got Elizabeth, one day.â
âNa⊠That day we were in his fucking car, because he loves that, he has the kink he wants hey, and I asked him to fuck me in the butt. Not pleasant but better than being fuck in that stupid thing Iâm forced to have and⊠his fucking sperm slide.â
âWhy no protection?â
âMy fault. I took T since one year and half, didnât bleed for a while I⊠I should have asked for the condom.â Gavin lowered his head. âOf course, donât say that to ElizaââŠâ
âI wonât, donât worry. Letâs take a shower.â Connor kissed his cheek softly. âI want a really hot one. Is it possible? OrâŠâ
âDonât pity me!â Gavin pushed him, more gently than Connor could imagine, and lead him in the shower.
The boy smiled and kissed his lover when this one joined him. Quickly, the stream went on them.
Well⊠still cold for start.
 21th December, 8:16
 âPapa! Papa!!â
Gavin sighed. He finally fell asleep at five a.m. with Connor in his arms and he knew the Android turned off the alarm clock since he could sleep more. Well, Elizabeth wasnât aware of that. It was so earlyâŠ
âIâm awake⊠Iâm awake. What?â he said.
âLook!â
The man rubbed his eyes and looked toward his daughter. She pointed something on the coffee table and he looked. There was skates, nice, new and exactly in the right size. For the little girl, there was an orangeâs pair with white hawaiiannish flowers and for him black. And then two tickets for the ice rink.
âIâll kill him.â
âBut whyyyyy! Itâs a nice present!â
Gavin frowned and got up. He needed coffee. He went to his percolator and opened the refrigerator to open it and⊠found it entirely filled with everything you could need.
âIâll kill that fucking AndroidâŠâ
âWhat?â Elizabeth asked, turning toward him.
âIâll cook a breakfast, what do you want?â
âConnor said he bought me cereals, can I, can Iâ
âYou saw him?â
âYes, he left early and came back with presents and food! And covers and he even offered me game for here! I love him so muuuuuch!â
It holds more Hankcon than Reed900 this time. I hope youâll love it anyway!!
Have a nice day!!
As you know, pass my door | °| or keep reading!
In his chest, Connorâs heart was still hammering and it was almost hard to breath. He didnât smell as good, didnât look as good as Hank. The man had made a lot of efforts. He shouldnât have listen is brother?
But⊠yes, he needed to listen to his brother. His brother was so intelligentâŠ
âYou look lovely,â Hank said as he was closing the door.
âWoof!â
âLook at that, Sumo thinks the same!â
âThanks. Both of you. But⊠you look lovelier. I⊠I think?â
âThank you. Wanted to impress you.â Hank saw his partner uneasy. âFor work,â he said.
Connor laughed a bit, feeling uneasy. âI bring you chocolate. I thought⊠it would be great.â He handed them to him and the man accepted it with a smile and thanks. âI found a good place for Blossom. Sheâll have a lot of sun and Iâll water her well.â
âSo you love⊠her?â
âYes, really much. Thank you.â
Hank smiled then moved to the living room, calling Sumo. âCome, Connor. Letâs have a seat.â
The younger did follow him and took the seat offered to him. The big dog came to him so Connor caressed him with a smile. Here, it was more soothing. Even if he had seen the document, the papers and the computer. The sheets of paper made the younger smile. In that strange case about Androids, when they had decided to let the Revolution go on, Hank had said to him how much he loved the smell of papers, how he loved to read books. That was at that apartment. The first time he decided to donât follow the orders becauseâŠ. Well, Rupert Travis had done nothing except being a Deviant.
And after that⊠they had let the Tracis go because it was only self-defense.
Androids were just like them and today, he was happy of that choice. Of the choice Hank had helped him to do because his own brother took advantage of that.
âDo you want something?â Hank asked. âSomething to drink? Or eat? The spaghettis are ready if you want. I wanted to add meat ball and then⊠I wasnât sure anymore. I still can add them. That will take few minutes but I can do it. As you wish, Connor.â
âYou like meat so⊠Iâm up for the meat and⊠we will work while it gets ready? Maybe?â
âYes.â Hank got up. âConnorâŠâ
âYes?â he squeaked.
âPlease, relax. We know each other and weâre working, right?â
âBut⊠itâs also a date and I donât know what to do.â
âJust what you want, Connor. What makes you fine.â
Connor watched the man as he walked to the kitchen to throw some meatball in a pan when the pasta where in a kettle, done and just waiting for them to eat. The younger caressed Sumo and even kissed his big head.
A bit after, the Lieutenant came back and sat next to him.
The boy bend on the coffee table to look the information on a tablet, passing his fingers to switch between the information.
Hank looked him, couldnât prevent a tiny smile on his lips. He found him so pretty⊠The way his hair fell back, the way the light shone against his soft skin⊠looking so soft. The way he moved.
âSo⊠youâŠâ Hank hesitated because Connor wanted to work, feel better butâŠ
Yes that was a date. They couldnât lie to themselves that way.
However, Anderson couldnât bore the idea to hurt Connor or making him uncomfortable. Connor saw his efforts. He wanted to reply to them.
âWhat about Cole, if I may? You have news from him? Niles saw him yesterday and he said he was doing well.â
âNo. Iâm happy to know that. I just didnât saw him since a while. But Iâm trying to have him for Christmas.â
âChristmas! Thatâs a beautiful day to have him. Does he⊠does he still believe in Santa Claus?â
âHeâs nine, so yes,â Hank laughed softly. He saw Connorâs face and frowned a bit before laughing even more. âWell, youâre really smart so Iâm not surprise you stopped to believe earlier.â
Connor put down the tablet he had in hands.
âIn fact⊠I kind of never believed in?â
âNever?â
Connor shook his head. âMy mother thought it was really stupid. The first time they had talked about Santa Claus at school, I had four, I think, and when I asked why he didnât come at our house, my mother said it was a liar used to force parents to buy presents.â He noticed Hankâs shocked face. âBut she was a great mother! Sheâs right, itâs not useful to have present! Especially if that come from an old strange man! See, I never accepted candies from strangers,â he laughed softly.
Hank smiled at this sweet joke.
âButâŠâ
Connor looked him, shyly. God, was it okay if he took out his coin to play with? He was so stressed!
âYou never had present?â
âMy mother thought, and still think, itâs bad to offer things to people when they didnât deserve them.â
âBut you neverâŠâ
âWe received a bit of money if we had a good year at school. Niles more than me because he did better.â
âItâsâŠâ
âItâs normal! Iâm not mad against him. And he was really cute all the time. He used the difference to offer us some candies and we ate them together.â Connor smiled, lost in his thought. âBefore today, he was the only person buying me things without I deserved itâŠâ
âConnor!â
The younger jumped and moved a bit in the sofa. He felt oppressed when Hank went just next to him and took his hands.
âYou donât have to deserve present!â
âMay⊠Maybe? But my mom is also right⊠I didnât need all of these.â
âIt warms the heart. It show to someone you care for them. That doesnât have to be useful. It justâŠanother way to express your love to someone.â
âYouâre saying my Mother doesnât love my brother and me?â
Hank blinked, his hand still in his big one. âI⊠IâŠâ
The words Connor whispered were like a big slap in his face. Did heâŠ
âWhat⊠what did you say?â
âYouâre rightâŠâ Connor smiled a bit. âBut⊠But Iâm happy Cole will have presents! Did you have already those you want? Can I offer him something? And what can I offer him?â
Hank smiled to him a bit. âSo⊠You do love Cole?â he asked.
âYes! And, especially, I loâŠâ Connor blushed. âI⊠Youâre fine and I want you to be happy? So if heâs happyâŠâ
âIâm happy, yes.â Hank looked him. âIâd also be happy if you could come at Christmas.â His face looked blank. âCrap⊠is this to quick?â he asked. âJust forget!â
âI donât know. For Christmas, we have a big family reunion every year and now Niles is better so heâll probably come and I really canât let him alone there, Lieutenant.â
Hankâs thumbs were caressing his hands. âWhy donât you⊠go for âHankâ?â
âExcuse me?â
âI just offered you to⊠call me âHankâ since weâreâŠâ
âOh⊠Oh, yes! Yes. If you want to. Yes⊠Hank.â Connor blushed.
âExcept if you donât feel it?â
âI⊠I feel it? I think? I⊠donât knowâŠâ
âIâm sorry. Just⊠stay comfortable.â Hank let go of his hands and got up to join the kitchen and check the meatballs.
The silent went back and Connor didnât know how he needed to react. If he called Hank âHankâ, could he work? That was so strange. And it wasnât so warm in there. Him, with his only t-shirt⊠he was freezing.
And what should he do with his hands? Where was his coin? He started to ruffle his pockets, his hands twitching, when he received a big lick on his face. Of course, it wasnât Hank but Sumo and he started to caress it fur, so fluffy. And so distracting.
Soon, he heard a tiny sound and looked the plate put down on the coffee table.
âHere you are,â Hank said.
âWe eat here?â
âYou want to eat at the table?â The old man was about to eat a fork of the meal but he got up.
Fuck! The table wasnât undressed from⊠all its mess. Connor knew about that but he wasnât proud. So much empty noodles cup, pizza cardboard so greasy, and beer⊠by dozen.
âNo, no. Please. Here, itâs fine.â Connor reach to him but didnât dare to touch  his hand.
However, Hank took it. Softly. Sweetly.
âOkay⊠Do you want something to drink, I forgot about that.â
âJust water but I canâŠâ
âIâm inviting you.â Hank pressed a kiss on his hand. âIâm coming back.â
Connor watched the man leaving for the kitchen, once again. He switched just a bit and caressed, once again, Sumo.
When the man came back, he had a glass of water and a beer bottle in his hand. Connor thanked him and took the glass to sip a bit before taking the spaghettisâ dish. He was so uneasy, his fork turning in the pastas.
The silent.
Once again.
He should work maybe?
It was hard to him because he didnât know what to do. Was it supposed to say it was yummy? Was he supposed to talk? He watched his hand because the kiss that had landed on it was really soft and he wanted to do something but⊠but what?
âSo⊠Cole is in 3rd Grade, right?â
â4th Grade, in fact. Since heâs at the first of the school year.â
âEnd of September, right?â
âYeah.â
âYou had it for his birthday?â
âNoâŠâ
âIâm sorry.â
Hank shook his head. âDonât worry. Thatâs not your fault.â
Connor hesitated because his face was so sad now. He switched a bit to come nearer. Like from on inch?
âYou look like a great father to me⊠Well⊠Iâm clearly not the good reference.â
âItâs a long story⊠ButâŠâ Hank bit his lower lips. âFuck!â He looked toward the younger Lieutenant. âLori wants to punish me,â he finally said.
âHowâs that?â Connor muttered.
âSheâs younger than you. A bit younger. I met her because she had been robbed and she went for a claim. I was the only available and took care of her. While the filing, we joked a bit and that was pretty cool. I didnât see anything long but when she asked me out, I found it was bold and quite sexy so I accepted. It was fun but⊠she wasnât for me.â
Connor frowned.
âI donât get itâŠâ
âWe had sexâŠâ
âOooh! I get it! She was pregnant from that time?â
âYes. So I assumed the baby, for her and⊠I wanted to be father, to be honest. I was quite excited by that and Lori was fun so that could work? That was what I believed. But⊠few after Coleâs birth, I fell in love. Not with Lori. First, I tried to forget those feeling, being loyal to Lori, to my baby Cole but I was just lying to me. I found it was horrible to stay with Lori in this situation and I offered her a good divorce. I was ready to pay a rent for her and Cole and even to let her have it at the beginning, offering to start the sharing when heâll be three or four? But she didnât like thatâŠâ
âWhy you didnât attack in justice?â
âI did, Conâ, I did⊠At this time, I was âworking too much and my job was too dangerousâ. That destroyed me⊠I already thought about attack again but Iâm a fucking alcoholic. A barrel of beer. I doâŠâ
Hank looked toward the table where he was so often playing Russian rouletteâŠ
Nobody will let him have his Cole back. He never saw him and he just wanted to hug his baby. What that will happen at Christmas!
âAnd⊠and what about the person you loved?â Connor asked. âThey said âyesâ?â
Hank looked him with a soft smile.
âConnorâŠâ
âYes?â
âItâs you.â
The younger blushed.
âYou⊠You mean itâs⊠itâs my fault? Itâs my fault if youâre not with Cole? Itâs⊠I⊠Iâm supposed toâŠâ
âNo, no⊠I fell in love with you but you donât have to do anything, Connor. I swear. Though I asked for be your partner to know⊠Know if it was a crush or way more than thatâŠâ
âNo!â Connor got up so quickly the dish fell in the floor and broke, splashing the meal everywhere.
The younger shivered, his eyes widened by the horror. And he paced backward.
âI canât⊠I canât⊠I canât be with you just because you had lost Cole because of me. I donât⊠Iâm not⊠You donâtâŠâ
Hank got up, just after shifting his plate on the sofa, and he moved to him. âThatâs not what Iâm saying. Iâm not asking you anything. I was just saying the truth to you. But I donât expect you to be with me because of that.â
âBut⊠No. No. No⊠I need⊠I need my brother. IâŠâ Connor paced backward and when he felt the wall against his back, suddenly, all became black in his mind and he just slid on the floor.
âConnor?â
The younger shook his head, moving slowly his hand and pressed them against his ears, his head so low it almost touched the floor and he whispered the ânoâ again and again.
