Broken Pieces-Chp80

Wander: (searching for Hater and found him in his old bedroom)... Hater? :(

Hater: [was sitting on his old bed, which was slightly smaller than his size, since he had grown a bit more considerably the last time he left, hugging his old plush, deep in thought]

Wander: (crawls over to hug Hater gently)

Hater: ....Sorry u had to see tht [tries to hold bk a sniffle]

Wander: :( It's not your fault...

Hater: Maybe... Bt I shouldnt hv lashed out like tht. U wanted me to make amends, talk to them, patch things up n fix it... Bt I blew it...

Wander: (hugs him still)...Anything I can do to help you get your mind off things?

Hater: Just stay here with me... Dont say a thing... [cuddles close to him, hugging both him n the plush]

Wander: (nods, and huggles closely to Hater)

[aftr a long silence later...]

Hater: Did u knw I'm the only one in the family tht has a Berserker mode?

Wander: That wasn't something from your father? Or someone else in your family?

Hater: [shook his head] It's prolly something to do with my pent up frustrations. Aftr being ignored for so many yrs, this anger sorta builds up inside me n it will explode wen I reached an emotional critical point. I got into a fight in high school once ovr something tht I cant evn remember why we were fighting for. He said something tht insulted me so bad I snapped, n before I knew it... [trembled at the thought] Thankfully I didnt kill him or anything, but I sent him to the hospital in a coma for a yr, n his posse got reli terrible injuries. Tht was tht one time wen my parents actually knew n paid attention to me, bt its bcoz I got into trouble. Then it was business as usual, forgotten aftr a week... That was the first time I went to Berserker mode

Wander:... So this is your own ability you've created...?

Hater: [shrugged] Yeah, u could say tht. I'm sorry u had to see me like tht wen I was fighting the octo guy. U must've been terrified

Wander: :( ...A little afraid... but you managed to rid of Armand...and Ryder... (hugs him)

Hater: Yeah... I guess tht's the bright side...

*knock knock*

Jeeves: [peeked in] Ah, Skullboy. I knew I'd find u here

Wander:... Do you still need to be alone, Hatey?

Hater: No, I'm OK. Lemme properly introduce u. Jeeves, my wife Wander. Wander, Jeeves, my butler n head of the hired help

Jeeves: Pleased to meet ur acquaintance, Young Master Wander [bowed graciously]

Wander: Nice meeting you too, Jeeves. :)

Hater: Jeeves practically raised me since I was a baby, n he helps provide me with things my parents deny me. He n the twins r the only ones who truly paid attention to me

Jeeves: All in a day's work, Skullboy. It is my honour to serve u. After all, ur the one who saved me

Wander: ? You saved Jeeves, too?

Hater: Stop telling everyone that, Jeeves. I didn't reli save u

Jeeves: Of course u did. I would've died in captivity if he hadn't found n chose us to serve this home. I was considered a cursed child bcoz I was born a different colour than all my fellow species. I was sold to an exhibitionist n was put in display for a fee n treated less than an animal. His parents came to the exhibit one day n he saw me n freed me with my powers

Hater: I didn't exactly free u reli. I was just a baby n my powers came in early. I blew the cage he was in n my parents had to pay for the damages. My parents were the one who bought u frm the exhibitionist. They're the ones that saved u

Wander: I see... (hugs Hater) Well, Hater di another type of saving as well. :)

Jeeves: Reli? Who did he save?

Hater: U guys... [was getting a little bit awkward frm all the praise]

Wander: It was me...(explains how he had been in an abusive relationship most of his life, how he and Hater met and a few details of how they got together)

Jeeves: Aww~~ I knew my little Skullboy is a kind soul. Its a pity Master Fury n Madam Anguish couldn't see that

Wander: (hugging Hater)... And his siblings probably won't believe it either...

Hater: That's their problem, not mine

Jeeves: I'm sure once u all talk it out as a family, everything will clear itself up. You'll see


Hater: U put too much faith in my parents, Jeeves, but that's prolly one of the reasons why I like u

Wander: :)... (tummy growls a little) ^^; hehe.

Jeeves: Oh u poor dear, u skipped snacks just now, didn't u? Dinner is almost ready. I hv prepared a room for both of u actually, unless u wanna stay here

Hater: Nah, this room is too small for me. I've already outgrown it. Show me where u set us up, Jeeves

Jeeves: With pleasure [led the way]

Wander: (follows Hater, still holding his hand)

[The couple were led to a huge room that was big enough to fit them n the two litters]

Hater: U hv reli outdone urself, Jeeves [waved hi at the twins who were looking after the litters while Jeeves went to get Hater]

Jeeves: All in a day's work, Young Master. Come, Axe, Axel. We must supervise the dinner arrangements

Twins: [gets up in unison, curtsied at the couple n left with Jeeves]

Wander: :) ...Will you be okay, Hater?

Hater: I've said wat I needed to say to my parents. Anything else they need to discuss with me, I can handle it [cooed at the litters]

Wander: If you're sure about that... (also coos at the babies)

Hater: I'm sure. Don't worry abt me. I'm a big boy

Wander: :) (hugs Hater, giving him a small peck)
