As My Heart Dies-Chp9

[dinner soon ended n everyone retired to their room to do their thing. Late at night, Fury was out at the roof of the palace, taking a smoke as he looked up at the night sky, sighing to himself]

???: Um, Dad...?

Fury: [turns ard to see who it was]

Hater: Sorry, couldn't sleep... :( honestly I'm afraid to sleep knowing my sudden condition...

Fury: It's understandable, bt honestly u don't hv to worry abt tht until u hv reached Stage 4 [sighed] I can't sleep either. Thoughts of the divorce is keeping me awake as well

Hater: (stands next to him) ...So, you like guys... For how long?

Fury: For as long as I can remember actually. I nvr reli liked girls romantically. I mean I can appreciate a beautiful lady, bt I could nvr feel attracted to them, not since I was a kid. I thought it was just a phase where boys think girls hv cooties, bt wen I hit puberty n had a crush on one of my male classmates, I just knew. I was going to come out to my parents wen they announced tht I was arranged to marry ur mother, then a few mths into the engagement ur grandmother started showing symptoms of Muertes Bifida, so I didn't hv the heart to come out, since her last wish was to see me get married...

Hater: Then I guess you wouldn't mind seeing me or Grimm end up with a guy? ^^;; I mean, I don't think I'm into guys, I'm just asking.

Fury: No, of course not. U love who u love, that's how it goes. U get no judgement from me :) [sighed again] If only I came out to ur mom earlier, maybe we would've worked something out, settled our marriage amicably. Bt I hv a feeling deep dwn she already knew, that's why she had tht affair

Hater: :( Still sorry about that.

Fury: Don't be. It's my fault to begin with [takes a drag of smoke] We settled with a tenth of the fortune. Half is a bit too much. Grimm needs to live too, since he's the new Skeletor Lord

Hater: Mhm... (Tired)

Fury: U know. I have a suggestion. Why don't-- [sees Hater nodding off n chuckled] I think it's time for u to go to bed [held Hater close as he walked him bk to his room]

Hater: But...you were gonna... (Yawn)

Fury: Don't worry. Ur gonna be here a while, there's plenty of time to talk. Time for u to rest [brought him to his room n helped tucked him in] Heh, just like wen u were a kid. Ur always the hardest to put to bed (giggle)

Hater: Mm...(fumbled around) Where...where's Mr. Fuzzles...?

Fury: [confused for a bit then chuckled] Oh tht old thing. Hold up [chk the closet, dug ard before find the little octopus plush] There u are [passes it to Hater] Here u go

Hater: (hug) Mr. Fuzzles... (slowly fell asleep) |-) Zz...

Fury: (giggle) [kissed his forehead n left the room to let him sleep]

Hater: (slept thoughout the night, holding his childhood plush closely)
