The tears finally stop for both boys after what felt like hours. Their eyes are red and puffy from all the tears and pain they shared between each other. They are now sitting on the ground of the cemetery silently until Eddward  breaks the silence. "So pumpkin, you think I wouldn't remember you admitting to stalking me while I train for my meet?" He smiles for the first time since they got there but it's his usual devious grin. "N-no b-but I'm sorry! I just...I accidentally saw you one day while I was taking out the trash and you just looked so....different." The ginger blushes. "Well stalkers get punished, keep that in mind." He then winks at the blushing redhead and puts his long arm around his shoulder. "E-Eddward?" The timid boy asks. "Yes pumpkin?"
"What do you think will happen in the future? I mean...with us?" The small boy is shaking a bit, nervous about what the swimmer will say in response. "What do I look like? Someone who can see into the future? All I know is that I'm happy where I am right now." He turns to the redhead and smiles.

The boys finally stand up just as the sun is beginning to set. "It's already that late?" The Raven haired boy says. "Come on pumpkin let's go home." He finishes his sentence and looks over to his emerald eye'd lover. The redhead just nods. Eddward goes to say 'goodbye' to his parents again. "à plus tard" he then kneels at the grave one last time. When the tall boy stands up he notices something he didn't before. On the back of his mothers tombstone there is a laminated picture taped several times. "It's.....us.....as a family." Tears form again but Eddward chokes them back as he lifts the picture from the back of the grave. He analyzes it while Kevin keeps his distance in such a personal moment. The picture is all three of them his father on his left sporting a nice dress shirt in the color blue and black dress pants. His mother on his right sporting a beautiful mid length dress in the color emerald. Young Eddward is in the middle wearing an orange t-shirt, purple shorts, and a beanie. Their positions are much like an average family the mother and father both lifting the young boy in the air, all of them smiling. He places the photograph in his back pocket very carefully. "Come on pumpkin let's go home." He then grabs the redheads hand and leads him to the car.

They get home and Kevin stops in at his house to get his school supplies and clothes so that he can stay with Eddward all the way until Monday. "Hey son! How was it?" Kevin then looks up at his dad and hugs him. "I'm sorry I don't say this enough dad, but I appreciate everything you do for me." The older ginger then hugs him back. "It's what parents do! I'm just lucky to have such a great son, and I'm so lucky you found someone great. Listen, if Eddward ever needs to talk to a parent figure please let him know I'm here...." Kevin's eyes turn wide as he wonders if he knew about Eddward's family. "In case you're wondering son, yes I know about Eddward's parents. I grew up in the town with them so I heard the news. I'm just happy now that you and him found eachother and are helping eachother. That's all I ever want as a father, for you to be happy." They hug again then Kevin gathers his stuff and rushes back over to his boyfriend's.

"Hello again pumpkin." The Raven haired boy says as he opens the door almost the instant Kevin arrived. "Are you hungry pumpkin?" And the moment the tall boy said that the ginger's stomach starts to growl. "I'll take that as a yes." The swimmer then chuckles and motions to the table which has a plate of pot roast and potatoes laid out. "I was cooking it in the slow cooker all day while we were out I apologize because I already ate some, but please enjoy I shall return after my shower." The blue eye'd boy then walks away and heads upstairs. "Oh boy this looks and smells amazing!" The ginger happily thinks to himself. He takes a bite and nearly melts in pleasure at the flavors. "Delicious." He thinks still smiling widely as he scarfs it down.

Eddward is now in his room looking down at the photograph. He notices there is writing on the back he decides to read it.

Dear sister,
I know it has been far too long since we last spoke but here is a photograph of the loves of my life. James and I have now been married for 10 years and here in the middle is the light of our life, Eddward. Please sister, I ask if anything happens to me or James I beg of you to take care of our precious boy. I just...I love him more than myself and it kills me when we have to leave for work. Please understand, I love you sister.
Love always,
Claire.

He notices faint stains which looks like tear drops under the lamination. His mother really did love him. New drops of tears now bubble on the plastic. "Mother. Father. Tu me manques" He then hears light footsteps coming up. He places the picture in the drawer and quickly erases his tears. "E-Eddward.?" The timid boy asks while knocking on the bedroom door. "Come in, pumpkin." The tall boy says. "I'm sorry about everything you went through but just know I'm here for you." The ginger says hugging the swimmer tightly. "I know pumpkin, I'm here too and won't leave. Now, as your punishment for spying on me you shall be joining me while I train from now on. Let us go to sleep because we are waking up at 5am sharp." The Raven haired boy smiles looking at his redhead. "B-but I am in no way, shape, or form in shape." The ginger says nervously. "I don't care it's time to get in shape!" The swimmer then smiles again.

Kevin quickly falls asleep after laying down. Eddward brings him closer. "Thank you, Kevin." He whispers.
