Chapter 34
Gloss Kaiser Schlund
Falling In Love With My Step-Brother

        Ashton squeals, literally jumping up and down as Noah and I enter the school holding hands, not bothering the looks of the people throwing at us. Some are happy, some are not, some just don't care. Beau and I are on good terms. He has said sorry a plenty of times, it's starting to piss me off now. My memories are still coming back, bit by but. Althought it comes into me slowly, most of my memories have returned. Almost all of it.

        We don't care if we look bad. We're doing this to ourselves. For ourselves. Because we deserve happiness. Noah hurt me. Yes. But that's not enough reason to stop loving him. He's a great man. No one can take my love away from him. I forgot things, my memories, yes, but that didn't stop me from loving him. He loves me. I love him. He owns me. I own him. We're just a slaves of love. Willing slaves of love. We're going to do every thing we can for our love to last. Forever.

        Kaila sees us and her face lights up, a wide smile tugging on her lips as she runs into me and knocks the breath out of me by giving me a bone crushing powerful hug.

        "You remember me now?" She asks me, looking at me with hopeful eyes, tears welling up. "Please say you remember me, please, please."

        "Kaila Rodriguez, my best friend." I state, smiling happily.

        "Yay!" She chirps, throwing her hands up in the air. "My Gloss has come back! I have good news to you. Our besties are here!"

        "Wait, besties? You mean..."

        "Joey, Homer, Rob, and Tony!"

        "Where are they?" I ask her, looking to my left and right, trying to find their faces in the crowd.

        "Wait, who are they?" Noah asks us, frowning, looking between Kaila and I. He then looks at Ashton, Derek, and Beau, whose heads are shaking, confusion drawn on their faces.

        They are my best friends back home, in my old home. Clearly, they don't know who they are, but I love them to death. Homer, Joey, Tony, Rob, Kaila, and I have been best friends since forever. They are practically my brothers and sister. Kaila waves to someone and I turn around to look, and my eyes widen, and a large grin tugs on my lips as my brothers run at me. As soon as we are near, we grab each other's hand and sing happily. That's our greeting. Kaila snorts, and laughs as she watches us doing our greeting ritual. Noah eyes them with jealous eyes, his eyes flickering between the guys and I. He's so jealous.

        Joey starts to ramble about how he misses me and everything, that it's not good and it's so boring when I'm not around. Tony stops him, covering his mouth as he chuckles and tells me about what has happened in my old town. He then starts to tell me that a lot of people there miss me, wanting me back. Homer and Rob start to argue on who's going to win the deal. I don't know what the deal is, but I'm pretty sure it's related to soccer. Yep, it's about soccer. They start to tell me they have a bet. They ask me simultaneously which team I am in. I answer them I'm not going to participate, and they only give me a pout. Beau's eyes are practically undressing Rob.

        Not going to argue.

        Rob is such a hot guy. Thin brown hair. 6'3 height. Brown eyes. Complete gentleman. Thoughtful. Caring. And loving. Rob seems to feel Beau's stare and he shifts uncomfortably. He must have sensed that Beau is gay. He doesn't have problems with gay. In fact, his little brother is gay. But he feels uncomfortable and awkward when a gay guy oggles him. According to him, it's creepy. They begin to open their mouth simultaneously and voice their thoughts out, speaking all at once. They start to push each other and Kaila just laughs real hard, her eyes shutting as she laughs.

        "Okay, shut up." I say. They all stop talking. "Now, Rob, do the honor."

        "Yes!" He chortles, fist pumping the air. "Okay, the good news is, we're going to stay here. The bigger good news is, we're staying here. The biggest news is... we're now enrolled in this school!"

        "Oh shit," I say, eyes wide. "Seriously? You guys are not joking, right? Okay, okay. Mom will be thrilled when she hears this news! Um, guys," I say, looking hesitantly at them. It's time for them to know that I'm gay and in love with a man. They are my friends. They are going to accept me for who I am and what I am. They all look at me, shifting their bodies, waiting for me to continue. "This is Noah Gerald Sky, my boyfriend." Rob's mouth hangs open, and Homer smirks. Joey and Tony are grinning. They tell me we're cool and grill Noah, asking him all at once. Kaila joins them.

         As Mom busies herself from grabbing bags of clothes, I place myself through the door, smiling happily at her and Richard. Richard sees me and waves at me, smiling. He has really had a good time with mom. Tonight, I will finally break the news to them, that I remember them now. Fully. Mom walks up to me and gives me a peck on the cheeks. A thing that she always does when she comes home from anywhere. Even though I'm old enough, I never tell her about that, about giving me a kiss on the cheeks like a little kid, because I love it when my mom does that to me.

        Richard encircles his arm around mom's waist and pecks her cheek, which makes my mom chuckle. I smile at then, that's when Noah decides to enter and secures his arms around me, resting his chin on my shoulder, his stubble on the chin tickling me. Mom furrows her brows as she looks at us confusingly. Richard's the same. They look at each other and Mom's eyes widen.

        "You remember now?" She asks me, eyes wide, tears are now pooling in her beautiful eyes, that Dad once loved and cherished. I nod at her and she bursts out in tears and gives me a motherly hug. I rub her back and she continues to cry, still hugging me. "I was so scared you'd never retrieve your memories again. When I was away with Richard, there weren't days I wasn't thinking of you, of your condition, of your health. It has been bugging me. And now, you're okay now. You remember now. Thank God for answering my prayers."

        "Mom, even if I hadn't retrieved my memories, a part of me will always love you." I whisper softly, kissing her temple. "Because you're stuck in here," I point my chest, where my heart is, "together with Dad, Richard, and of course, Noah."

        "So you guys are together now, huh?" She asks me, wiping her tears. "Noah, don't you dare hurt my son again or else I'll kill you using my own hands."

        "Yeah, I'll join my wife to kill you," teases Richard as he gives Noah a glare, a look that means 'you better do this right this time'.

        "I will take care of Gloss, I promise that." Noah swears, crossing his heart. "I love Gloss. I love your son, Genny. And this time, I won't do anything stupid to mess these things up. I can't lose Gloss again. I love him very much for that."

        My heart beats faster as I hear those words, his promise, the sound of his voice is sure and calm. His words are like music to my ears. It's like a soft hums of the piano, a gentle strum of the guitar, a careful beat of the drum, and a compassionate pluck of the strings of the lyre. Those instruments make a melodic heavenly sound as they travel through my ears, and it's making me cry from happiness. A tear slips down my cheek and Noah brushes it away with the thumb of his eyes, smiling lovingly at me.

        "What an asshole you are, Noah." I say through sobs. "That's the first thought I've come up when you said I was a trouble."

        "I love you, Gloss Kaiser Schlund." Noah says proudly, raising his chin up, "I'm saying this in front of your mother, and to your Dad above. I hope he approves of me being your boyfriend."

        "He does," Genny says as she hugs me. "Kerick, he's just like Gloss. He had a golden heart, always helping, always looking at things simply. I'm sure he approves of you, Noah. Don't worry."

        "Mom's right. Dad's always want what's best for me," I chortle, hugging him. "And I say you're the best for me."

        Mom just shakes her head, smiling simperly as she takes Richard's hand and they both go inside with the bags of clothes in their hands. Noah grabs my hand and kisses me full on the lips. 

        "I love you, Noah."

        "I love you infinite times more, Gloss."

        We hold hands, not untangling our fingers from each other's gentle grip, beaming, thinking happy thoughts and what would happen to us in the future. The good ones. Noah is mine and forever will be. And I am his, and forever will be.

        Because he fell in love with his step-brother, and I fell in love with my step-brother.

        I will always fall for him.

        Because he's my step-brother.

        And I love him.

Thank you very much for reading this story. I know I ended things, I guess for me, fast. But don't worry, the sequel is now here! 

Thanks to those people who supported me, read my stories, followed me, voted my stories, everything. I love you guys. I so love you guys. This story has had many ups and downs. To be honest, I was thinking if I would continue this story, and if it weren't for you guys, this story would be stuck up in Chapter 5 or something like that.

LOVE LOTS, ORALKEL.
