New Life: A Second Chance

While hugging Kay, Kyle looked at his son and felt like a headache was coming.

If Sayuri hadn't calmed him down, things would have gone downhill pretty fast. Thinking about the state of the guest bedroom, Kyle winced a bit.

<Er …> Kyle began and Kay looked at him in puzzlement.

<I'll get someone to clean up the room and also replace the broken furniture in your room later> Kyle said sheepishly.

Kay looked at him, then at Sayuri and rolled her eyes.

"It's not my fault you bought such a flimsy table," Kyle mumbled.

"Is the wall at least intact?" Kay asked with a straight face.

"About that …" Kyle said, "You really shouldn't decorate a guest bedroom with so many unnecessary stuff. Walls should be b.a.r.e."

<Twenty minutes and you did that much damage?> 

Kyle grinned, showing off his pearly white teeth.

Kyle let go of Kay and reached out for his wife, holding her tight. Looking at Kay and Joseph, he said, "We need to talk this out."

And so, they talked into the night. It had them brainstorming how to reveal this to each respective parents (parent, in Joseph's case) and what were the plans of the newly wedded couple for the future.

It was decided that they would break it to both families together and Kyle would, naturally, be the mediator. Their marriage would not be hidden after he graduates from high school but neither would they make any official announcements.

Almost similar to Kyle's situation.

Kay did want a wedding ceremony, but a small and intimate one with only the closest family members. Although she wasn't ashamed of Joseph, nor was she bothered what other people thought about this strange union - but she didn't want the world to judge them either.

This was their life, after all, and she only wanted to share it with those important to her. 

With the main things settled, Kyle and Sayuri went home.

After they left, Kay turned to Joseph and asked him, "Are you alright with all of this?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Joseph asked in puzzlement.

"Sorry, I didn't mean what we had been discussing earlier with Kyle, but … well, he did go on rather strong earlier," Kay explained.

She was worried whether Joseph harboured any ill-will or resentment towards Kyle. It would certainly make things awkward.

"No, not at all," Joseph said, "Kyle said things that made me think, really." 

He gave a small laugh, "I even felt like I was listening to my mother, the way he talked. Can you imagine that?"

"Oh, really?" Kay asked, prodding him.

"Yeah," Joseph said, then reached out to hug her, "I must be missing my mum so much to be thinking that a guy like Kyle could sound like my mother."

Kay pursed her lips, not knowing whether this was a good thing, or a bad thing.

<Guess what, brother?> Kay reached out to her brother as she snuggled with Joseph on the couch, watching television.

<What?> 

<Joseph thought you sounded like his mother when you scolded him>

<And?>

<That's it. He didn't think anything more beyond that>

<Figures> Kyle replied with a slight shake of his head. Joseph had a one-track mind, or rather, he saw things through a narrow viewpoint. He would never consider the possibility of him being his mother, no matter what hints were dropped. 

Unlike Lianne, who was much more open to the infinite and weird possibilities.

<He's your husband> Kyle said <You chose him>

<Yeah. He may be dense in some areas but he's pure hearted> Kay said with a smile, hugging her husband tighter.

Akikai jerked awake, but he didn't move.

There was someone in the room, he was sure of it. He kept his breathing even, as if asleep and he tried to figure out where that person was.

Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sense the person.

Or rather, where the person was.

Did he imagine it?

Akikai slowly turned, only to jump up in shock, with his back pressed against the wall.

"S-S-sir…" Akikai managed to squeak out.

Kyle was at the edge of the bed, and had positioned his face directly where Akikai's head was, so that the moment Akikai turned to look into the room, he would have seen Kyle's face inches away from his.

Kyle smirked, seeing Akikai's exaggerated reaction.

He got up slowly, not taking his eyes off Akikai.

"Not making any excuses?" Kyle asked.

Akikai got down from the bed, standing straight, "None, Sir."

"Good," Kyle replied, patting him on the shoulder, "Keep up the good work."

Kyle nodded. If Akikai had tried to explain the situation by saying he was ordered to do so, Kyle would not have let it go.

Akikai blinked.

That's it?

He wasn't in any trouble?

Really?

Kyle headed out to the window. 

"Oh, by the way. Since you are doing such a good job, you're assigned to him for another 5 years."

Akikai g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

Well, at least he's still in one piece.

Just as Kyle was about to disappear, he said, "And cover for him this entire week."

Akikai slumped on the bed.

Okay, he knew that had been too easy.

Sayuri was waiting for Kyle as he scaled down the building.

"Don't you think you were too harsh on the poor boy?" she asked him as he landed on the ground.

"What? Nah," Kyle said, dismissing the statement with a wave of his hand.

"You know he wasn't disobeying orders," Sayuri said to him with a purse of her lips.

"Of course," Kyle said with a grin, "And since he was juuuust following orders, he might as well follow it through until the end, right?"

Sayuri smiled and pinched his cheeks, "Why don't you just admit that you're letting Kay have her honeymoon week with Joseph?"

Kyle shuddered.

"Please. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that not only is my sister being s.e.x.u.a.lly active, so is my son."

Sayuri raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Poor little Kyle cannot let go of his babies? Imagine when it's Lianne's turn…"

Kyle kissed her suddenly, sealing her lips from making any more noise. He slammed her against the building wall as he thoroughly explored the inner cave of her mouth while his hands roamed all over her body.

When he finally broke the kiss, he said, "Enough. Stop trying to rile me up."

Sayuri grinned and licked his lips, asking in a sultry voice, "Oh, you noticed?"

"How could I not?" Kyle asked, staring at her, "Is it really necessary?"

"You must admit, that was really some mind-blowing s.e.x we had," Sayuri replied.

"I'd rather do without the Smith Wrath, thank you very much," Kyle snorted, while paying very close attention to her ear.

"Oh please," Sayuri said, wrapping her hands around his neck, "As if those little things I said would trigger the Smith Wrath."

Then she ran her hands down his back, and squeezed his *ss, "But it would certainly trigger something."

"What? Just now wasn't enough?" Kyle asked, looking at her.

"It's with you. When is it ever enough?"
