Adoption Day
Tw: possible language, etc?
Another day of being forgotten. Of being pushed aside while the other kids got all the love and fun….
The day starts. You’re 13 which means to the caretakers that you’re as old enough to do chores on your own. You have to make the younger kids bed, clean up after them, sometimes even set up snacks for them, all the kind of stuff. The only time you Get a break is when adoption time is happening or it’s the kids bedtime and there’s no rowdy kids left.
Currently, you’re sitting in the nook in the window, looking at the drops of water hit the window and run down. Parents are coming in as kids swarm them and try to act their best to be adopted. You stopped trying at 11 when no one looked at you. These two tall and muscular men enter. One wearing a balaclava and hiding his face while one has a shaved mohawk. You barely pay attention though since you’re too wrapped up in your book. Kids avoid the man with a skull mask and his partner since they find them intimidating. They walk up to you and crouch down.
Ghost: “Hey luv, names Simon and this is Johnny. Yers?”
Y/N: “…Y/N.”
Soap: “That’s a lovely lil name you got lad/lass!”
Ghost: “That seems to be a lovely book you got there. You like books?”
Y/N: “I guess..”
Soap: “I love to read books too! We already got something in common! Say, would you like to come with us?”
Y/N: “Are you sure you wanna choose me?…There’s plenty of other kids here…”
Before either of the men could respond, these two twin boys ran up to them and tugged their sleeve.
Max: “Pwease pway wit us!”
Mason: “Yeah! Let’s play tag!”
Soap: “Alright you wee ones.”
Both Ghost and Soap got up and chased after them. Just when you thought it would happen…Just when you were begining to think..It was indeed useless…The two men would adopt the twins and leave, never looking back. You felt a lump in your throat but held it back. You continued to read as if the interaction you had meant nothing to you. What you didn’t expect was for the two men to walk back towards you.
Ghost: “So, what do ye say? Would you like to become our daughter/son?
Soap: “We would love you ‘ave you as part of the family.”
You didn’t know how to respond. You for sure thought they would adopt the twins…You look around as if you didn’t believe what you were hearing.
Soap: “We’re talking to you lad/lass. It’s okay.”
You nod hesitantly and Ghost reached his hand towards you, and you took it.
Caretaker: “Ah, Y/N? Are you sure? You could pick these younger lovely girls or boys-“
Ghost: “Yes. We are taking Y/N. She/he will be our perfect little child.”
The caretaker nodded and handed them the paperwork to sign. You took a look at the place for one last time, finally being adopted after so many years. You finally get a proper home…
