Now, onto the chapter

"Ezra, what are you doing, silly boy," Free says picking him up. Ezra starts to pull on Free's hair and screamed. "WHERE IS MOMMY!!!" Valt walked in with Tristen by his side. "Oh boy, Ezra-" Ezra stops pulling Free's hair. "H-hi mom," Free made a face at Ezra and walked off, holding his head. "Poor dad." Tristen says sighing. "He wouldn't tell me where you were!" Ezra exclaims. "You shouldn't pull on daddy's hair like that." Valt says with a smile. "Tristen, please take your brother to your room." Tristen nods and picks his brother up. "Jerk..."

With Valt

"Hey Free," Free was in bed, sleeping, Ezra must've kept him on his toes. Valt walks in, closing the door behind him. He walks toward his golden-haired husband and placed a sweet kiss on his cheek. "Thank you..." Free grabs Valt, holding him close. "Anything for you... my Valkyrie." Valt snuggled with Free and slowly shut his eyes, hearing Free's faint heart beats. "I love you Valt." Free says quietly. Valt smiled, his eyes still shut.

As they slept, Ezra watched. "I don't know what mommy is..." Tristen picked him up, away from their parents' door. "Why does it matter Ezra?" Ezra sighed. "They look so happy... but my friends have parents who aren't... well-" Tristen shook his head. "We have better parents, now I think it's time for your bedtime-" Ezra starts to pull Tristen's hair, yelling and screaming. "N0!! NO!!" Tristen carried his wailing brother to his room, smiling softly.

With Tristen

I finally got Ezra to sleep, he is such a brat. I started to tuck Ezra in, smiling softly. "Thank you, Tristen," Free says quietly, walking into Ezra's slightly dimmed room. "Anytime, father," I respond. Sometimes... I wish I could be more like my dad. He's strong, calm, and mysterious. My father placed his hand on my shoulder, his eyes focusing on Ezra's rising and falling chest.

"Tristen, may I ask you something?" my father asks me. "Of course," I responded, "Is something wrong?" My father sighed softly, looking my way. "Are you okay with having visiting Shu Kurenai?" his voice trembled, but why? I turn to look at my father, somewhat worried about him. "Father, I would like to see him... but," I hesitated, my father tilted his head, that's when I saw it. Three jagged scars. Strange... how did he receive such nasty scars. So, I decided to ask him. He took a long sigh, he then covered the visible scars with his hand.

"It's a long story. A long, tragic... and dark story," He explains, his voice growing cold. "It's not that important anyway." I simply sighed, looking back at Ezra. "Okay, I understand," I respond. "When are we going to meet Shu Kurenai?" My father says that we are going to meet him tomorrow at a hospital. He then explains that Shu is there because of his mental health. After our talk, my father and I head to the kitchen to make dinner.

Normal Pov

Valt walked into the kitchen after his long nap, taking in the smells that invaded the area. "Mm~ Something smells delicious!" he says with energy. Free walked over to his husband and gives him a soft kiss of the cheek. "We decided to make your favorite food, since you haven't been feeling well." Tristen says readjusting his eyepatch. Valt shook his head, a smile spreading across his face. "That's... very sweet of you but," Valt says walking up to his son. "I'm more worried about you than myself." Tristen turned his head to the side, not looking at his brown-eyed father. "Tristen," Free says walking up to him. Tristen looks at Free, sadness filling his eye. "Take the eyepatch off, please." Tristen sighs, removing the eyepatch from his face, revealing a silver eye.

The whole house was silent, Free's eyes remained on Tristen. "They look nice together..." Ezra says walking in. Tristen sighs, smiling softly. "That's sweet of you, Ezra~" Free coos, walking up to him. Ezra starts to laugh, which made everyone laugh. "Okay, okay. Let's eat, I'm sure everyone is hungry." They all nod. Free and Valt made plates for the boys and themselves, teasing each other here and there. "Shorty..." Free says chuckling, which made Valt have a fit. "...Bighead..." Valt says laughing softly. Free looked at Valt with a shocked look, making both, Tristen and Ezra laugh.

The table was set, hand in hand, as they prayed to God on this day. To give thanks for life, food, and everyone together.

They had a pleasant meal, rather quiet, but was still a nice dinner. They all headed to bed afterwards, sleeping soundly in their rooms...

The Next Morning

The alarm went off to wake Free and Valt, today was the day to check on Shu Kurenai. "Babe wake up..." Valt says nudging against Free. He didn't budge. Valt grabs a pillow and whacks Free with the pillow, "H-hey!!" Free says grabbing the pillow from Valt, making him giggle. "We got to get dressed," Valt says, still laughing. "Fine... but I'm going to get you back!" Free says playfully. The two males got up and heads toward their closet. "I'm going to wake the boys up, I'll be right back." Valt says, rushing out of the room. Free rolled his eyes, grinning. 'Valt, why are you so adorable~!' Free asks himself while dressing up.

Tristen and Ezra were ready to go, so they went downstairs. "Where are we going?" Ezra asks out of curiosity. "It's a surprise." Tristen responds. Free and Valt walked down the steps, hand in hand. "Are you two ready to go?" Free asks, tilting his head slightly to the side. The two boys nodded, Tristen opened the door for his parents and his little brother.

On their way to the hospital, Valt stopped by a flower shop to get Shu some roses. For some strange reason, Shu loves red roses. Valt climbs back into the car and sighs loudly. "I hope he's okay..." Free looks at his husband with a smile. "I'm sure he is..." Tristen could see the pain in Free's eyes. 'I don't like this...'

At the Hospital

"Where are we?" Ezra asks, a little startled by the place. "We are at a hospital Ezra." Tristen says with a sigh. They exit the car, staring at the double doors that lie ahead. "Shall we go?" Tristen says walking toward the doors. They all ealk after him into the tall, solid white building.

With Shu

"Shu Kurenai," A psychiatrist says in a friendly voice. "A group of people are here to see you!" Shu sat silently against the wall, motionless. This worried the psychiatrist, so she walked in. Shu Kurenai was indeed alive, I guess asleep? "Is Valt... here?" He asks, lifting his head. He had a soft smile on his face, the sight of seeing his friend after years of being in the hospital. "Yes he is! Come on!" She says helping the white-haired male.

"Shu!" Valt exclaims, a huge smile on his face. "Heh, you came," Shu looks at Free, tilting his head slightly. "Free.. c-can we talk?" Free hesitates on the offer. "Sure, do you just want to talk to me?" Shu fell silent, the room was completely quiet. "S-sorry, I blacked out," he says sitting up. Free stares into the males' dark, crimson eyes. "I would like it if it was... just us." He says with a grin. Valt smiles, giving Shu his flowers and hugging him. Tristen, Ezra, and Valt left the room, leaving only Free and Shu. The room remained quiet, the two still staring into each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry," Shu starts, "for... scarring you." Free sighs, a grin appearing on his face. "It's alright," he says quietly. "Love makes us do crazy things, am I right?" Shu chuckles, Free does as well. Valt and the boys walks in as the two spoke. "Is everything okay?" Tristen asks, tilting his head slightly. Shu looks at Tristen, his eyes captivated by Tristen's. "Who might you be...?" Shu asks, lowering his head. "My name is Tristen Aoi," he responds. "you must be Shu Kurenai..."

The white haired male smiled weakly, feeling his heart beat. "Tristen..," He stood up, trembling a bit. They all notice the bruises and small cuts. "S-shu! What happened!" Valt exclaims, his eyes tearing up. Free stared at the red-eyed male, he knew something was wrong. "Did you do this to yourself?" Valt asks, walking up to him slowly. He never got a response from the male. "H-how could I?" He asks them. "Before you guys came here, I was in a straight jacket." Tristen tilts his head slightly to the side, sighing afterwards. Before they could say anything to Shu, three psychiatrists ran into his room. 

"We're so sorry to interrupt!" One says. "We need to give him this," the brought out a box that caught Shu's attention. "It's time for your shots hon-" Shu backed away slowly. "NO!" His eyes were filled with rage, Valt knew exactly what they were doing. He walks slowly to Shu, holding out his arms. "Shu, please," Shu felt the smaller male hug him. "I know you hate it, but you need the medicine to get better... okay?" Shu hugs the male back, sighing loudly. "O-okay." The third nurse escorted Free and the kids, leaving Valt in the room.

"It's okay, it's the last one." He says comforting Shu. The shot was injected, Shu's mood diled down, everything was okay. "Valt, thank you." Shu says, his eyes shutting. "Your welcome," Valt says smiling. "So, how much longer do you have to stay here?" Shu sighed. "Probably for another 5 or 6 months." He says, annoyed. "I hate it here, I can never get out." Valt sighed. "I don't like feeling... trapped." Valt ruffles Shu's hair and he opens his eyes. "It won't be long until you get out, besides," he grabs his hand, "you have me by your side." Shu smiles. "Yeah, your right."
____________________________________________

Valt left the room with a smile on his face, Free and the kids were waiting for him. "I've been meaning to ask why he didn't want the shots." Free said softly, grabbing ahold of Valt's hips. The shorter male sighs. "He doesn't like the way it makes him feel." He responds. "It completely changes his nature." Free tilts his head. "I see, what is he doing now?" Valt shrugs. "He did seem a bit tired.. he may be napping at the moment." Free nods. "So, who long are we staying here, that guy was scary." Ezra says grabbing a hold of Tristen's leg. "Just a few more hours Ezra." Free says quietly.

It may have been an hour or so, Ezra lay asleep in Tristen's arms, Free and Valt were still awake. "I-is that Lui?" Valt asks, grabbing Free's hand. "I'm afraid so." Free responds. Lui had brought roses for Shu, he had a solemn look on his face as he walked down the hallway. "Are you here to visit Shu Kurenai?" The nurse asks him. He slowly nods, she opens the door for him and he walks in. "I hope he's okay, he doesn't look alright." Valt says with worry. Free kisses Valt softly on the forehead. "He'll be alright, don't worry."
