I've been living my life quite peacefully for a while now. At age twenty, I moved into my own place with my fiance and we adopted a young kid. It was hard at first, obviously, since I was in college. But my loving fiance and I managed quite well, really. Both of us managing jobs and me making sure to adjust my schedule the way I needed to and always making sure at least one of us was home with our cute little boy. Then, some time after, we had everything down and we got two more. We didn't really plan on it, but we give food donations to the orphanage, and apparently two little boys were abandoned and we couldn't help but take them in. One was already sick, and we couldn't take one but not the other. Well, somehow, we managed with that two. The sick one didn't stay sick for very long, and recovered into being a strong kid (though he still got sick fairly easily), and the healthy one stayed healthy as he was (his eyelashes were amazingly long). Years passed normally, well as normally as it could. Two fathers was hard to explain sometimes, but bullying was never a problem. Our eldest, Ryouta, was cheerful and was friends with everyone. The middle child, the one who got sick easily, was a bit of a prankster and a little lazy, but he was quite smart and made his share of friends as well. The youngest, who's parents must've been quite beautiful with luscious hair and gorgeous eyes, had gone from being the clingy type to wanting to be independent and not treated like a baby. But his personality otherwise was quite dazzling, and he became popular quickly. Living so peacefully for so long, it was quite a shock to me when I was called into the school with my fiance Mamoru. Sitting in the dean's office, our youngest two, Izo and Takuma (Takuma being the youngest) came in covered in dirt and bruises. Standing up in shock, I couldn't even say anything. They held hands tightly, and glared at the ground. The teacher started explaining, that during recess, Takuma had started beating one of the boys in his class and Izo joined in, as did some of the victim's friends. I looked to them sternly to ask if this was true, and Izo didn't even look at me. He just stared at the ground with an angry expression. "So what if I beat him up?! He was asking for it!" But just how was he asking for it? "...I don't wanna say." And no matter what I said, no matter what Mamoru said, Takuma and Izo both refused any further information other than Takuma saying that the other boy (who claimed innocence, saying that he was only asking if Takuma liked some girl) deserved the beating he got. They were given a week suspension, and both taken off of the baseball club for the year. Without any further information, and despite Mamoru saying that he didn't think they really did anything wrong and that there must be something else, I didn't really have any choice but to ground the two of them. No video games, no TV, no computer, no friends, nothing until their suspension was up. No matter how much my cute, precious baby Takuma yelled at me, saying I should just trust him that he did the right thing, I couldn't excuse fighting like that. They refused help cleaning up, Izo still refused to speak, and they kept their hands held tight as they went upstairs to take a bath. By the time Ryouta came home, the two younger boys were locked up in their room with bandages and pajamas. When I told what happened, he only sighed and said that "It was about time something like this happened." It wasn't until then that I realized that this wasn't something that only happened because of today. That Izo's reluctance to go to school wasn't just because he didn't want to go, that Takuma's interest in crime-fighting shows and beating up pillows wasn't just out of childish love for Kamen Rider, and that the two of them holding hands despite Takuma's complete distaste for affection recently wasn't just because they were growing out of their parents. "What did he say to you and your brother?" The way Izo's expression sharpened, and the way Takuma bit his lip to keep himself quiet. "Ryouta told me this has been going on for over a month now, what's going on that you haven't told us?" Had the day of teasing because they had gay parents finally come? "You can say, we won't get angry." Two weeks later, Takuma told Ryouta, who in turn told me and Mamoru. Izo and Takuma had been getting called names and shoved around for about three months, and this was the first time Takuma had gone past verbal threats into actually beating on these guys. Not because of something the two boys did, or because of who their parents were; but because their parents weren't their parents. "These kids keep calling Kuma and Izo abandoned trash and stuff like that... They didn't want to tell you guys and make you upset... They didn't think you'd understand." |
