Chapter 4
After the meeting in the orphanage.
Tristana and Bone had went into a cafe to talk about what happen with the child.
"Have you seen all their face on us? And especially on you~" She said teasing her friend. He only grumble in embarrassment has he took a sip of his coffee drink.
She chuckles has she drink her cappuccino a little and took a bite of her biscuit. After a small peaceful silent, Bone hoped to not have to answer to any question for her. So he ask one for her. "Have you... See one that you like to adopt over there?" She stop drinking has she seem to think about."Mmh... I do have got my eyes on a cute little boy!" she beamed, remembering to watch a cute boy with black hair that has brown eyes and was wearing a cute t-shirt with a cute white bunny on it and also wearing a black pant and shoes.
She put her hands on her cheeks has she squeal in adoration for the little boy. This made the demon smile. He like to see her like that than being sad to not have found what she wanted. He then took a glance over the outside from the window.
"And you Bone? Have you got a kid that put interest in that cold heart of yours?" She asked back the question to him. This made him flinch has he kind of had already tell her he don't wanted a kid yet. But after he met that (H/c) child... He might maybe want some company. "I..."
(Hey! Author here.... I wanted to say that i'm not good with always writting 'they' 'them' or 'their' a lot for the child part. It's not to disrespect those that want to be pronouns like that!
So uh... I wanted to do a vote before I continue..
Would you like the child reader(meaning you) in this story to be...
A boy?
Or
A girl?
Ok now I leave you to think on that... Let's continue the story!)
---------------------------------------------_____________________-----------------------------------------
In the orphanage the children were all in they bedroom. Doing a big circle, they were asking who will be the chosen one for the two adult that came today.
They always do this after a visit.
"So... Who think will be adopted by the kind lady.. Raise their hands!" Said a young brown haired girl with glasses on her face.
Mostly there was only three hands that raise up. The girl goes on the whiteboard to put three stick under the kind lady.
"Now.... Who think to be adopted by the black cat mister?" she ask again the same question but for the demon.
All the others hands were raised for him. Except only one child have not vote for any side.
The girl put all seven stick on the whiteboard for 'black cat mister'.
She then went over the (h/c) kid.
"And you (y/n)? Who do you think might adopt you?" she asked them. They think but knowing every time she will answer to them. They just look away and mumble something.
The girl only smirk and cross her arms."what did you said? I did not hear you~" some giggles could be heard behind her. They sigh and repeat again, but louder this time. "No one..."
"That's right! Because you are unwanted that no one will adopt you! You will be stuck here forever! Ah ah ah!" She and the other kids most laughed. Only two did not laugh with them. Instead they went over to the bullied kid and stand next to them. "Leave them alone Clara!" screamed the blond haired girl that was holding a teddy bear in her arms. The laugh soon stop, and an atmosphere could be felt.
"What did you just say?" The brown haired girl said to her with a serious face. That's when the other kid came to defend them. "She said to leave them alone!" said a black haired kid with his brown eyes glaring at the girl with a serious but determined look.
She only let out a growl and turn around."Fine! But next time... Don't expect them to be there to protect you (y/n)!" She said and walk away to the back yard with the other.
Once the three were alone...
The girl and the boy look at (y/n) with an happy face. They seem to be proud to have made that bully of a girl away from you.
"T-Thanks you two..." You said shyly. The girl only smiled more before she goes outside the bedroom and go somewhere. "No problem!" said the black haired boy to you. "By the way, if you have problem like that... I would be glad to always help you!" He cheerfully said. This made you smile behind your book. "O-Ok..." then the boy look around the room. "So... Wanna play with me?"
-----------------------------------------___________________-----------------------------------------
"Mom... Do you think that this is.. A good idea for me to have a kid?" Bone asked to the old lady that was making some tea in her kitchen. She seem to give a gentle aura around her. "My boy... I'm sure you will do great with a child... Do you remember when i was working and you had to take care of your sister?" she ask him has she turn around to look at him with her magenta eyes.
He look away has his ears goes down."Yes... But this is different. A child from an orphanage won't.. Be let be taken care if they don't know or even.. Let their caretaker take care of them." He rub the tip of his right ear has an habit to show how uneasy he felt to explain to his own mother about that. "A-And it's human! Not demon like us... I'm kind of scared i break them if i hold one in my arms again.."
The old lady watch her son like she see everything in him. After all, he only show who he really are when he visit her alone. She put down her cup and walk closer to him."My dear son..."She started to say has she stop in front of him."If you are unsure to adopt one.."She put her small hands on his cheeks."Why don't you go over there again and talk with some of them? Maybe they will tell you what they feel about you?" Bone look down at her a bit surprise by that. His mother never touched his cheeks this tenderly like she used to do when he was a kid. He close his eyes and lean more to her soft touch. "If you say so.... I may should pay a visit there when I have time.." This made his mother smile in joy to hear that. She remove her hands and goes back over to her tea. "Then it's settle! You should soon go talk to the kid you had held in your arms first." He open his eyes and nods to her."Thanks you mother... I should go back to my work place now.." After saying that, the both waves to each other before he walk out of his mother house.
You might wonder how or why was he to his mother house suddenly when he had been speaking to his best friend?
Well it is simple... When Tristana had finished her own drink, she had check the time and was late to her own work place. After being in a mafia bussiness with her husband, all the war was done for good in the town. So she had to found a job to have some money in case they don't have enough soon. She work has a police secretary. When Bone heard her that she had to go, he decided to pay a visit to his mother that lived a bit far away. Of course being a demon he is... He had teleported himself over there to be able to talk a bit about his situation.
Now back to the present time..
Bone had take his long walk to his work place. In the pathway, he meet people that always stare at him strangely or with fear. He was doing nothing, yet everyone think he is a bad guy because of some stupid rumors.
He let out a sad sigh has he keep walking. He really hate those looks on him. Hopefully he is strong enough to not bite back at them and just tell to look away.
He was so desperate to at least see a different look on him. Then out of nowhere. He heard children laughing. He look around him curious and soon stop moving. Over the field of flowers. Two small children were running around each other.
The sight made a tug in his heart. He could not help but give a small soft smile. The (h/c) child playing with the black haired boy made him happy to see them having fun. "For someone being lonely has I am... You seem to have fun.."
To be continue...
