Double D frowned. "Look, I know I'm new to this aura-reading business, but... honestly, there's no mistaking it."
"Eddward..." He starightened up when a hand landed on his shoulder, and he looked up at Fletcher questioningly. "Let it go. If he doesn't want help, don't force it on him."
"B-but Fletcher, clearly he's suffering!" Double D replied, some of King's emotional instability influencing him. "I can't just stand back and...!"
"Eddward..." Fletcher silenced him quickly, and he averted his gaze.
"I... alright..."

"At least someone gets it," King muttered, then tried to walk off somewhere else when...
"Ungreatful, don't you think?" an effeminate voice asked with a tone of irritation. Felix stood at the doorway, signs of drowziness in his eyes, but he had the feeling his lover was being mocked.

"Yeah, seriously!" Eddy cut in, surprisingly.
But Fletcher would as well. "Leave him be. Some people don't need that kind of comfort, alright?"
"Fine, whatever! Let him stew all he wants!" A few gasped at this. Eddy was as blunt as always. "But he doesn't have to be a jerk to Double D just 'cause he's trying to help! Geez!"

King didn't respond to anything being said. Felix just stood there, giving King a look that demanded he appologize to Double D. King said nothing and then walked towards the door. "I see," he said. "I didn't mean to bother you or your friends." That last message was made towards Fletcher. And he tried to open the doors when...
Call it instinct. Animalistic anger. The way the boy mocked his mate and thought he was going to get away scotch-free with it... Felix thought not. He strode over, grabbed the boy, turned him around, and then slapped him in the face. The boy didn't say anything. His face twisted in time with the slap and his eyes seemed to widen and have some shock to them. "Is that how you were taught to show respect?!" Felix snarled. But as he noticed the boy's spacy face, his anger suddenly dropped. And, to Double D's new power, the aura only grew more painfilled.
"Tell me... how long have you been gay?" The man stood there, facing away from his son, but his fists were clenced with anger. The boy stood there, frowning.
"A while now... It's not like I asked to be this way... I just am," he responded.
"Isaac... you bring shame to this family! This family based off of years of following the Judeo-Christian teachings and the ideals of the Westboro Baptist Church... and you are a fag."
"Father, I..."
The man turned around and slapped his son so hard he fell to the ground. "ENOUGH! I should have you put to death! But it is for God to make those decisions, not I, a human being! So I say to you now, abomination, out! OUT OF MY HOUSE! GET OUT AND STAY OUT AND NEVER COME BACK!"
"Oh boy," Masahiro said, seeing Double D's reaction to the sudden aura change as well as King's reaction to the slap.

Everyone jumped or gasped at the slap, Double D the most. But his shock only grew as those memories, strong enough for even him to see them, flashed in front of his eyes, the aura growing more and more pained by the second.
Before Felix could go any further, he quickly took him by the shoulder, holding him back.
"...please..." he whimpered, his gave averted downward. "...enough, Felix, please. Just... leave him alone."

King snarled, but turned and left. Felix sighed and went back to bed. Masahiro shook his head. "That's the first time I've ever seen an emo... So they're not all cutters."

"Shut up, Masahiro." Double D's friends gave him odd looks as he glared at the angel. The gentle lad never told anyone to shut up in such a fashion. "You have no idea what he's been through, so I suggest you try to be a tad more sensitive."
"Wait, King! Ahh..." Fletcher hurried out of the apartment, catching up to King. "...look, I'm sorry for that. They can get overbearing at times. They've been through a lot as well."

"Oh what, so you can read minds now? Tell me if you have any idea what he's been through then," Masahiro said. "You're the smart one. The rest of us have intelligence, but you're studious and bright. Why don't you tell us then?"
"I don't blame them. I just don't want to talk about it," King said. "I bet your friends and you have been through hell and back, a hell worse then mine... but the difference is that you are strong enough to rise from your hell... and I'm not that strong at all."

"I-I-I, I..." Double D paused, realizing he was shaking and getting himself under control. "I... I saw... a flash... I think it came from his aura... it was..."
"Wait... you saw memories?" Fleetfoot asked.
"Only a breif one... his father..." He caressed his own cheek, almost having felt the slap himself. "... in anger, he threw out his son... for being..." He swallowed. "...gay."
"There is great strength in numbers," Fletcher replied. "Because everyone draws strength from each other. I can understand that it's difficult for you... losing everyone dear to you... the pain can make you want to give in...."
He paused in a mind self-revelation, then took King's hand into his own.
"...but it doesn't have to break you. Take it from one who's been there. Lonliness will only drive you mad." He brought his other hand to rest on top of King's. "I will not force you to, but... I ask that you stay with us. Our apartment is down the hall, separate from everyone except my team. Give the others a chance to cool down."

Felix looked at Masahiro, whose head dropped in shame. With no reply to the fact that he was proven wrong, he just silently said, "I'm so sorry."
"... ... ... I understand," King said. "I know you want to help, but... I'm not sure if I'd..." King sighed. "Never mind."

"...it's fine," Double D eventually decided, cooling down. "You didn't know." Looking out as Fletcher left, he added, "...it dims when Fletcher is around him. I think he's most comfortable around him. If anyone will be giving him any comfort, it'll be Fletcher."
"So you'll be staying then? Alright." Slowly, Fletcher opened the door to their apartment, leading King in. "Usually they'll linger at the other place before they come back, since Perceval has grown closer to Masahiro. So we've got the place to ourselves for now. We'll decide who you'll be sleeping with later."

"So that's the cute fluffy boy the gods were talking about during one of our out-of-character moments," Trevor said. "... Come to think about it, he does look very cute and cuddly."
"Thank you Trevor," Masahiro said. "Now... so it seems he is most comfortable around Fletcher... to think about it, they are alike... It seems plausable."
"I see," King said. "So they are good friends of your then... It's nice to have a group so big and powerful, huh?"

"Does everyone become gay in this place?" Eddy groaned.
"You didn't, Eddy," Ed pointed out, grinning at Nazz as well.
"Whether it becomes serious or not..." Double D sighed. "I just hope they work things out." He glanced at Felix, and coasted back into their bedroom, all the while smiling at Felix, silently coaxing him to follow.
"It's hard to manage sometimes, but yes," Fletcher chuckled, settling on the couch. He patted on the other side, giving King permission to sit down. "We do our best to get by."

"Is there a problem, Eddy?" Nazz asked, crossing her arms. "I don't know about the others, but last I checked you wanted me and I was not checking out any of the girls here, so..."
"Oooooh shit man... you pissed her off," Trevor warned.
"And to answer your question, with Yaoi fanatics controlling us, I guarantee that at least ninety percent of all their pairings will be Yaoi... Michael's also making Marion a lesbian in one of his original stories, but that's originality, on his own paper, and it's set in the future, when Marion's old enough, so nobody scream pedophile on me, much less him, ok?" That was Masahiro as he sat down on the couch within the Ed's apartment.
King kept silent, just sitting down silently next to Fletcher. "Out of all the people in the world you have probably rescued... am I the only one you ever brought back?"

"I-I didn't mean it like that!" Eddy zipped over, willing to do anything to make it up to Nazz. This included putting on, a big, stupid, helpless grin. "I wuv you."
"He what? Oh.... nevermind." Double D brushed any thoughts of rage for exploiting his daughter aside, coaxing Felix in with a waggling finger before disappearing into the bedroom.
"Actually... that's correct," Fletcher answered. "Most either don't want or need to come, or have a community of their own to settle in." He grew thoughtful. "Although, there was one time where we rescued Super Children and their families in mass and hid them in a hidden desert town from the Tribunal... but I suppose that's different from this situation."
Soon, he sighed, staring off blankly. "I will admit... to most people I do seem a bit cold and hard... but, I dunno... I guess... it's hard for me to let anyone get close."
