❧ SIRE BOND - - - - -
Charlie thought being a vampire was annoying. It had it’s perks, true. But for every perk, there seemed to be a downside. Ordering plasma packs, weird hunger pangs, odd sensations when all of his senses seemed to be on overdrive. He could hear a squirrel on their roof the other night that was driving him crazy and while he no longer needed to sleep, it was annoying him so badly in the middle of the night he’d actually crawled up there on the roof to chase it off.
One of the weirdest downsides, however, was the sire bond. Something Touya hadn’t really told him about, but he’d read it in the vampire tomes he’d ordered. When he found himself actually tired and recharged a bit in his bed, he had strange waking dreams. Dreams about Touya. Sometimes they were simply ordinary dreams of his boyfriend, his sire, doing simple ordinary things. Like maybe he was seeing or feeling what his boyfriend was going through. Sometimes, they were more intimate. In every sense of the word. Dreams of the future, or dreams of a life they could share together and it felt like they were wishes and hopes of Touya’s. Hopes that maybe they’d face this immortal life together.
It had Charlie sitting on his bed, grumpy and wondering if he was doing the right thing by getting this cure from the government. It would be coming any day and Charlie was ready for it, though he still hadn’t told Touya that he’d applied. Guilt had started to eat away at him for that. He should tell him. He knew he should. He just didn’t know how to break the news to him that they wouldn’t be facing an immortal life together like Touya kept asking him to.

❧ COME INSIDE - - - - -
As Freddie walked her home, Eris kept her hand in his and bit her lip, listening to him talk about this and that. She wasn’t really following along with the story he was telling, some macho thing from his freshman year in college, but she just let him go with it. Her mind was on what she was about to do. As the University Housing loomed in the distance, she struggled for a moment with her sudden doubts and hesitations. He could be so sweet at times and so macho at others and she was still getting used to that side of him. But most all, she thought she was ready.
As they got to her house, she turned around at the steps to face him. He smiled at her, like he was getting ready to say goodnight, but she leaned forward to kiss him. If it took him by surprise, that just felt all the better because she thought little did with Freddie. She liked that feeling. The feeling of making Freddie lose that control he was so focused on.
“Come inside,” she whispered, pulling back slightly but keeping her mouth close to his. Freddie didn’t say anything, but didn’t need to be told twice, either. He closed the gap between them, mouth pressing back against hers with some ferocity, like he’d been waiting for this moment and eagerly accepted the offer.

❧ BREAK UP - - - - -
“What?” Touya asked, exasperated at the revelation that Charlie had applied for the vampirism cure months ago. “You knew for months? Wha...why didn’t you tell me?” he demanded.
“I...” Charlie sighed. “I had a suspicion that you turned me on purpose. But I know that’s not true now. When you told me how old you were, it just made a lot more sense what secret you were keeping.”
Touya didn’t look any less angry with him. He scoffed. “So why didn’t you tell me then? You still let me talk like we were going to be in this together.”
“I don’t know,” Charlie admitted, shaking his head. “I didn’t know how to tell you?”
Anger flashed across Touya’s face. “You say I don’t fucking love you like that, Charlie. That’s how you tell someone. It’s not that hard.”
“Touya...” Charlie pleaded.
“No,” Touya held up his hands. “I feel like a fucking idiot for all those things I said. All the while you knew that’s not what you wanted and you didn’t say shit.” He shook his head in disgust, taking a few steps back. “God, I’m such an idiot.”
“You’re not!” Charlie defended his boyfriend from himself. “I’m just an asshole. I just, I didn’t know how to handle all of this.”
Touya didn’t seem to buy it, the look of disgust still on his face and he swatted away Charlie’s hand when he tried to reach for him, to which Charlie took a step back, accepting that. Touya stood there for a moment, teeth grinding in his jaw before he nodded his head. “Yeah, this...this was a mistake. Through and through. I...I can’t do this.”
“What are you saying?” Charlie asked, stunned.
“If you want to be mortal, Charlie, that’s...that’s fine. I didn’t give you the choice, so I get it.” Touya swallowed thickly. “But I...I just...I think we’re done. I want someone who wants me. Who wants eternity with me.”
Charlie felt tears sting at the corner of his eyes. “I could grow old with you.”
Touya smiled sourly, shaking his head. “It wouldn’t be with me, Charlie. It’d be in front of me. you’d give me a lifetime, I know that, but I’ve three of them and I’ll live a thousand more. And I want that. I want eternity, but not an eternity of watching the people I love grow old and die.”
Nodding, Charlie understood. He did. But it was the same exact reason why he couldn’t give Touya an eternity. And so, this was it for them. Bittersweet and broken in the end.

❧ CONFESSION - - - - -
When Robyn got home, the first thing she did was tell Johnny that she’d had a conversation with Mitchell. It didn’t dawn on him at first who it was, so Robyn had to explain and suddenly Johnny was a bit more alert and paying attention to the conversation. He looked a little solemn at first, but part of their couples counseling had been that they talk about these things. That they be honest with each other.
Johnny took it well enough, even if she could tell there was a little jealousy there. He even admitted to it a little bit and Robyn assured him that there was nothing to worry about. She would probably never have to deal with Mitchell in a professional manner anymore, so there was no need for her to ever even have a conversation with him again. Johnny seemed to accept that. Especially when she explained why, that she would be graduating on time.

❧ MAID SERVICE - - - - -
“Eris!” Ezra yelled half an hour later, after she had the kitchen mostly cleaned up. She headed up the stairs, standing in the doorway to see Ezra using her laptop. She didn’t complain, frowning to try and see what he was looking at. He explained a moment later with, “Maid Services are expensive. But, I found one that seemed cheaper than the others. Minerva’s Maid Service. You want male or female?”
Robyn thought it was cute he was looking for a maid service, but she had her mouth open to tell him they didn’t need to waste their money on it. They just needed to clean. However, she clamped it shut at the question. “They’re allowed to ask that? That seems...” she narrowed her eyes, coming forward to look at the screen he was looking.
“I mean, that’s what it says. You want a male or female. Or...undisclosed...”
“Ezra,” Eris said calmly, biting her lip because of course this would be where Ezra wound up. “Did you happen to read the company slogan?”
“No, why? What’s-...” he trailed off, scrolling to the top and reading it for a moment. “Oh. Minerva’s Maid Service. Sexy maids sent straight to your door.”
Eris giggled, leaning over to pat Ezra on the shoulder. “I’ll bet they’ll even sing you a song if you ask them to.”

❧ VISIT - - - - -
“I’m so glad you could make it!” Robyn exclaimed as she caught Eris coming up the sidewalk from where she’d taken the ferry to get home. Charlie had passed his final exams and soon would graduate from high school. Robyn had wanted to throw a big party for her son to celebrate, but Charlie had insisted on something a bit more tempered. Just a few friends and his family. Sweet kid.
“You kidding, I wouldn’t miss Charlie’s party,” Eris said, giving her Mom a hug. Robyn laughed, rubbing Eris’s arm because it was always good to see her. Eris must have noticed the extra affection today and gave her Mom and an empathetic smile. “You emotional today, Mom?”
“Both of my babies are about to be adults,” Robyn said and teared up almost immediately. Eris laughed, pulling her back in for another hug.
“I do have to admit it’s going to be weird thinking of Charlie as a grown up,” Eris told her.
Robyn nodded, wiping at her eyes. “Right? I just want him to stay my goofy little boy forever.” It was going to be a rough day, a rough few weeks while Charlie celebrated his graduation. Her son was going to be a high school graduate soon and that was still settling in for Robyn. It had been hard enough with Eris, but with Charlie? He’d grown up somewhere when they weren’t watching.

❧ REMINDERS - - - - -
“Okay, well, this is it,” Johnny told Eris as he and Robyn were getting ready to leave Eris’s new apartment for the evening. It would be her first night there in her new place and none of them knew who was handling it worst, Robyn, Johnny or Eris. Johnny, at least, still had a smile on his face whereas Robyn was in tears and Eris seemed almost reluctant to say goodnight to her parents. A part of her wanted them to go so she could settle in, but a part of her knew this was a big step. Her first real place, the first time she was truly out on her own without a roommate or the university paying for her housing.
It was a big step.
“Don’t put it like that, Dad,” she laughed, leaning in to give him a hug.
Johnny chuckled, giving her a tight squeeze. “Just know that if you ever need some help getting the laundry done or need us to come and pick up some things around the apartment, we’ll be glad to help.”
“I think I can handle it, Dad,” she told him sweetly, but appreciated the offer.
“I know you can handle it,” Johnny told her and it wasn’t defensive, it was an affirmation. She smiled at him, glad to know that if she ever did need something, her Dad would be there in a heartbeat. “Well, let me get your Mom and we’ll get out of your hair so you can enjoy your first night here, huh?”
“Dad?”
“Yeah?”
“I just...thanks for everything.” Johnny smiled and gave her another hug before he went to go find Robyn, who was tidying up some things in the kitchen still. Eris watched the two of them and smiled fondly. She couldn’t ask for better parents.

❧ APARTMENT - - - - -
It took a while and some money borrowed from her parents, but Eris got her apartment downtown looking exactly the way she wanted it. A good apartment for a single woman looking to make a name in her career. While pink seemed to be a running theme in the apartment when she’d scoped it out in the first place, she ran with the color in her bedroom set and in the purchase of a new couch for the living room.
She also had to find room for a fabricator, an assigned piece of equipment from work. It had her setting up a home office in the spare bedroom, unable to find another space for it. The office turned out to be her favorite room and it totally wasn’t because of the pictures she’d taken as a teenager with her friends. While she was putting them up on the bookshelf, she smiled sweetly at the picture of her and Allan. She missed him. Hoped that rehab had gone well for him and wondered if she shouldn’t try to find a way to get ahold of him again or wait to see if he got ahold of her. She thought the latter. Especially not knowing what a call from her might do to him if he was still in recovery. Either way, she still put up his picture in her office, wanting to remember the good times they all shared together.

❧ GOODBYE - - - - -
“So, this is it,” Ezra said a few days later. Turned out, Eris had nothing to worry about when it came to her final exams. She had passed her classes and the graduation ceremony was on it’s way. She couldn’t help the feeling of relief that she’d actually done it. She’d graduated from college. She also couldn’t help the feeling of dread. Of not knowing what came next. Not all of it, at least. She knew she had a job, taking her Dad’s advice and starting with the company that had offered her a job even before she graduated. But even with a job and an apartment lined up, she was still a little frightened by it all.
For the majority of her life she’d been a student. Been able to rely on her studies to guide her to what came next. Not it was work and she thought that was the real testament to growing up. When it became less about studies and more about work. Now her life was in her own hands and even if there was some excitement there, it was still bittersweet.
“Yeah,” Eris responded sadly, standing next to Ezra. She looked over at him as they stood outside their front porch of the university housing. She was moving out today and all of her stuff was already on it’s way to an apartment downtown. “I’m going to miss you so much,” she said, turning to look at him. She couldn’t ask for a better roommate or friend. She was going to do everything she could to keep in touch with Ezra and if her own future seemed daunting in the moment, she thought Ezra was feeling a bit of the same. He still had yet to line up a job and was moving back home with his parents in Oasis Springs.
“I’m going to miss you too,” he said and Eris took that as an invitation to give him a hug. “Call me sometimes, okay?”
“Definitely,” Eris agreed, giving him a gentle squeeze. It was a hard goodbye and one she hoped wasn’t forever, despite the words.

❧ THE TALK - - - - -
They were all getting ready to go out to dinner in that evening, to celebrate taking finals and talk about what else needed to go into graduation. Eris didn’t want a big party, but rather soon they were going to have to figure out where she was moving to. Freddie had come over to surprise her as well and Ezra met him in the basement.
“You better treat her right,” Ezra said, eyes narrowed, still a bit reluctant to fully accept that they were no longer going to be roommates.
Freddie raised a brow back at Ezra, or more importantly the accusatory way the other guy was looking at him. “Look, it’s not like we’re married or anything,” Freddie countered and Ezra didn’t like the words, but he didn’t say much to it. Freddie laughed, slapping Ezra on the back. “Kidding, kidding, bud. We’re having fun and we’ll keep having fun. I’ll see to it.”
It wasn’t what Ezra had asked of him, leaving another bitter taste in his mouth and he hoped that Eris knew what she was doing getting involved with this guy. He did NOT have the Ezra stamp of approval.

❧ PEP TALK - - - - -
“So, when will you find out?” Johnny asked as they sat down on the couch with some lemonade to celebrate Eris’s final exams. She was feeling much better and 1000% times less pukey than she was that morning. Her Dad was here and despite him having absolutely no bearing on how she did on a final exam, she was just happy to have him here and knew that no matter what happened, he’d support her.
“A couple of days,” Eris told him. “These will be the longest days of my life,” she complained melodramatically, earning her a chuckle from her Dad. He patted her shoulder in sympathy, though she probably knew there were worse things out there that kept people awake at night. She was still going to let her own stresses and worries be hers for now.
“Well, how about the job hunt to keep you busy?” Johnny suggested. “What about that company out in Willow Creek? Did you hear back?”
“Not yet,” Eris told him. “It was kind of on a contingency basis. If I graduate, they have a place for me, but I need that degree to work there.”
“Okay, so you’re about to get it. Give them a call,” Johnny coaxed.
“I don’t have the degree yet,” she reminded him.
“But didn’t they also say you could finish it up while you intern there? I’m sure there are some negotiations that could happen so you could start there while you wait for official word, you know.”
Eris sighed. Her Dad was probably right. She gave him a look to tell him as much and then leaned back in the chair. “Maybe I don’t want to grow up,” she pouted.
Johnny gave another chuckle, leaning over to press a kiss to the side of her head. “We all have to do it sometime,” he told her gently. “But no matter what, you’re always going to be my kiddo. I’d just rather you be my kiddo with a good paying job that you like.” He gave her that fatherly look and she rolled her eyes playfully, but knew he was right. She’d call the company in the morning.

❧ PROUD - - - - -
At the end of the night, Robyn brought out a cake for Charlie so they could all enjoy a sound dessert. At some point, Catarina and Emily had come over as well, bringing with them a few of their foster kids who were staying with them. Charlie liked hanging out with some of those kids and they played football in the yard until it was time to get a sugar high on Robyn’s chocolate cake.
After the party died down and the Lynx’s all went home, Charlie said goodnight to Eris who caught the ferry back to Britechester and he sat down at the table with a heavy, tired sigh. Robyn was upstairs, trying to get a stain out of her blouse and Johnny approached Charlie with a smile on his face.
“How’s it feel?” he asked. At Charlie’s inquisitive look, he gave a chuckle. “Being a high school graduate.”
“Don’t have the diploma yet,” Charlie reminded him.
“Yeah, but you’re getting it.”
Charlie smiled, looking down at his hands. “Can I ask you something and you promise to tell the truth?” Charlie asked, looking up at him. Johnny frowned, that smile fading and he nodded, coming to sit down next to Charlie. “Are you and Mom disappointed that I’m not going to college?”
Johnny took a breath, shaking his head. “We are not disappointed,” he said with gusto, wanting to make sure that Charlie knew that. “We want you to do what you want to do. We just want to make sure that’s sustainable. You’re 18, Charlie. You’ve got a whole life ahead of you to decide what you want to do. You don’t have to make that decision right now. We’re proud of you.”
Charlie smiled warmly at his Dad. “Thanks, Dad.”

❧ CELEBRATION - - - - -
Johnny had made his famous breakfast scramble on the grill for them all. They headed out onto the back porch to eat and reminisce and talk about what they had planned for the future. It was the exact kind of graduation party Charlie wanted. He hadn’t made very many friends in high school, especially given how many people had simply given him grief for being who he was. But the people that mattered were here. The people he loved were here to celebrate his graduation and that’s all he cared about.
Harvey seemed hellbent on taking online college courses and staying home so he and Charlie could hang out and maybe find an apartment somewhere nearby together. Charlie seemed down with it as soon as he saved up enough money, because he wanted to do things on his own. Didn’t want to rely on his parents anymore unless it was absolutely necessary.
They talked about all the place they wanted to go, all the sights they wanted to see and Charlie mentioned taking the family and Harvey to Mt. Komorebi and showing them the school he’d attended and the sights he’d fallen in love with over there. It was his favorite place on earth, he decided and he wanted to share that with his favorite people on earth.

❧ GOODBYE - - - - -
Charlie didn’t have to wind up saying anything to Kristian in return. Eris had been within ear shot of the whole thing and if Charlie never wanted anyone to fight his battles for him, he was somewhat grateful that he had a protective older sister who came stomping over yelling at Kristian for what he’d said. Harvey, too, told Kristian how wrong it was to say something like that to Charlie. That just because Charlie was gay, didn’t mean he was some kind of predator that he needed to be afraid of being in the same room as. He didn’t have those thoughts before he knew Charlie was gay, there was no reason to have them after.
Eris and Harvey saw Kristian on his way and when they came back to check on Charlie, he was smiling at both of them. “I could have handled that,” he told them both.
Eris shrugged. “Yeah, but we did,” she said, clapping Harvey on the shoulder, who looked apologetically at Charlie.
“I should have told you about Kristian,” he said. “I just...I didn’t know if I was overreacting, but then he said it again and I got mad all over again.”
Charlie shook his head. “Yeah, but you shouldn’t let that be the reason you don’t go to college like you were planning. Just look for a different roommate, man.”
Harvey sighed and promised he’d consider it. Eris slung her arms around the two of them, ushering them inside when Johnny came to the door to give her a thumbs up. “Alright you two, enough excitement, we’ve got a graduation to celebrate.”

❧ TRUE COLORS - - - - -
“I didn’t know,” Charlie whispered to Harvey as Kristian got off his bike and came over, smiling between the two of them. Immediately, the air around them got stuffy with Harvey’s obvious discomfort for the situation. Kristian lifted a brow, but looked at Charlie and grinned.
“Hey, thanks for inviting me,” he said, clapping Charlie on the shoulder. “Saw you guys tossing the football around. Want to play a real game of tag football?”
“Sure,” came from Charlie at the same time Harvey said, “No.”
It had the three of them falling into an awkward silence. Kristian seemed to study Harvey for a minute before he sighed. “So, you’re still mad,” he chanced a guess Harvey’s direction and Charlie looked between them, that feeling of being a third wheel sneaking up on him quickly. He scratched the back of his head and opened his mouth to try and smooth everything over before Kristian continued. “Look, Charlie...sorry, I just...I didn’t know you were gay.”
The words and tone took him aback and he heard Harvey suck in air between his teeth while Charlie just stood there confused for a moment. “Does that matter?” he asked, frowning.
“No!” Kristian shook his head. “No, I’m not homophobic or anything. I just...I made a comment to Harvey and he got mad.”
“What comment?” Charlie asked.
Kristian seemed to stammer for a second before he sighed. “Look, I just said...I’d want to know if you were coming over to our place so, you know, it wouldn’t be weird. You know? Make sure enough people are there? I’m wearing a shirt. That sort of thing. I just didn’t want things to be awkward. Or, you know, you to get the wrong impression if it was ever just the two of us, you know? ‘Cause I’m not like that.”
Harvey practically growled where he stood. “You didn’t see the problem with a comment like that before and you don’t see the problem with it now,” he told Kristian, pointing a finger at him. “That’s why I don’t want to be your roommate.”
It stung a little bit. Not because of the words Kristian said or the idea that his mere presence would make someone feel uncomfortable. He could almost understand that. It was more the idea that he had gotten inadvertently put between Harvey and a friend. That Harvey’s decision about college and roommates had been swayed by their friendship. Harvey had stood up for him, and now his plans for college were in jeopardy.
