The whole house was silent.

"Miles?" Ethan snorted, "Why him?"

Pride shot a nasty glare at Ethan, shuttling him up. "You'll find out when the others get here."

As if I'm cue, two more guys walked in. One was decked in red. Light red hair, red pants, dark red shirt with a black belt and leather jacket and red eyes with sun kissed skin.

Wrath.

The other was in all white, with platinum blond hair, ivy grey eyes and a white suit and tie.

Gluttony.

They simply strolled over to the others and sat down.

"Why do you want my son?" My father pressed, still by my side.

"Sloth will explain it more, but simply put, he's rare. We could sense him from every corner of the earth, and he drew us here, wether he knew it or not." Pride explained.

"I drew you here?" I asked shakily.

"Seems that your mother had shielded you from our view somehow, but around six years ago, we caught you on our radars. We decided to wait to take you." Gluttony added.

"That sounds creepy," a new voice scoffed.

Two more had come.

One was a man decked in purple, the description would be as expected besides his golden brown eyes. He hard dark, rich skin.

Greed.

The next was an Korean American guy, with purple eyes and pink everything, besides his hair which was a featherlight Gray.

Lust.

It was lust who had made the comment.

"That's rich coming from you," greed chastised.

"Where's sloth? He should be here by now." Envy muttered.

I tried to stand up to tell them off, but when I got to my feet I stumbled. When I stumbled, I stumbled into the arms of the final sin, sloth.

His ocean blue eyes met my golden ones, a small smile on his perfectly pink lips, dark black hair with blue died tips peeked out from under a beanie, his entire being decked in varying shades of blue.

"Oh my, nice to meet you Miles."

I pushed away and stumbled back, catching myself

"Why the fuck do you want me?" I asked, looking at them in horror.

Sloth sighed, "well, every person in the world is affected by some form of sin. You're surrounded by pretty potent strains."

Lust pointed to Carter, "his sin is lust, as he obviously lusts after you."

"Wh-"

I was cut off by wrath who held a finger to Ethan, "that monster his wrathful."

"He's both prideful and sloth like," said pride, pointing to Peter.

"That man is Envy, since he envied every thing his sister had, Envy explained, pointing to Eric.

"Your father is gluttonous, wanting more of everything he has. Though, he's the lesser of the sins."

"And your mother was greedy. She wanted everything, in a different way your father wanted it. She died because of it."

Sloth then looked back at me, "you aren't any of those. You haven't sinned once. Yet, you are rare. We want you to come with us, to see why."

"No!"

"If you come with us, your family, your friends, all of that will be taken care for. All you need to do is live with us. You can visit them on weekends, but you live with us." Wrath informed.

"You're really in no position to say no, especially since we already payed off your student loans."

"You can't just-"

"Carter, I can fight my own battles." I turned to sloth and walked right in front of him, "a year."

"What?"

"A year. That's the time I'll be willing to be stuck with you. If you haven't figured things out, you let me go."

"You're in no cond-"

"Deal," sloth agreed, reaching out a hand, which I took.

He leaned close and whispered, "Just be warned, us sins will fight over you."

"I will kick you in the nuts."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow night. So get things packed." I nodded and sloth looked at his brothers, "come on, let's go."

"What the-"

They vanished into thin air before the sentence could finish.

"Miles, what are you doing?" My father exclaimed.

"Keeping my family cared for. I'd rather spend a year dealing with that then have you guys hurt."

"You were scared shitless!" Carter reminded.

"I thought they wanted to kill me or something. Knowing that they're attracted to me works to my advantage."

"What?"

"Sloth told me they would fight over me. Sooo, I'll be fine."

"Isn't that worse?" Peter commented.

"Considering our history books have a long history of them hating having to share, I'll be fine."

"Miles, you-" I cut my dad off, "I'll be fine. Now, I have to pack."

"Last question, "do you plan on falling for any of them?" Ethan asked.

"Why does that matter? Besides, he's straight."

"Just because I'm not into you doesn't mean I'm straight."

"Wh-"

"Dad and uncle Eric know I'm pansexual."

"Oh."

"Besides, even I'm not stupid enough to fall for those morons."

"Do you need help packing?" Carter asked.

"That would be great, thank you."

Carter ended up helping me pack my things in almost perfect silence. I knew why, I had quickly shut him down and said i didn't like him.

"Carter, I'm sorry if I can't return your feelings, you've always been my brother in my eyes."

He paused himself, hanger in hand, "I know. I just... it's hard knowing you have no chance."

I set down my books and walked over to him, pulling him into a hug, forcing him to drop his things. He immediately hugged me back.

"I'll miss you Carter."

"I'll miss you too. Please visit when you can."

I laughed against his chest, "you couldn't keep me away even if you wanted to."

We pulled apart and smiled at each other before going back to packing.

It took us two hours to pack up everything I owned besides one pair of clothes I'd wear tomorrow and my pajamas which i already changed into.

"I'm going to have a lot to talk to mom about tomorrow."

"I bet."

"Thanks for helping me pack."

"It was nothing. Goodnight Miles, I'll see you in the morning.

"Goodnight Carter."

He left me alone in my room and went down the hall to the guest room. I glanced around at my empty bedroom and sighed, flopping in my bed.

Tomorrow night, everything I knew would be different.
