Thunk.

Chew*

Chew*

Aries eyes trail to the quiet Kristoff.

The little man is eating his cake while curl into a half ball in the sofa.

He is sitting down the carpet and his back are touching the chair.

Eating while pressing his weight on his knee.

"So...How old are you?"

Kristoff looks at Aries.

Aries smiles the best he can not to scare the boy.

Kristoff blinks and lay his head on his knee looking at him.

Aries looks away and drink the coffee in his hand.

'Why is he looking at me?'

Kristoff turns to the television but looks at Aries again.

He remembers this man doing his best to help his family and even though they broke up.(Aries and Kristian)

He insists that his family stay with his group and go to a safer place before they separate.

But how can Kristian do that when he is going to see his ex lover with his new lover?

Still Kristoff doesn't blame him.

"17."

Aries is already watching the television so he flinched hearing an answer.

"Oh...Ohhh. 17. Hahaha. So how many is that? 8 years age gap with Kristian?"

Kristoff stares at him.

"Yes."

Silence.

Aries drinks his coffee again.

'I can't hold a conversation. So awkward.'

Kristoff knows Aries but he barely talks to him.

He keeps staring at him to say something but his mind keeps hesitating.

"Brother Aries?"

Aries looks at him.

Being called Brother by his boyfriend's brother feels nice.

"Hm?"

Kristoff looks down.

His eyelashes makes a nice shadow in his eyes.

Aries wonder why Kristian called this guy weirdo. He thought maybe he is just a shy boy.

His favorable level with Kristoff soars.

"What is it?" He asks with a smile.

"Do you know how to purchase guns?"

Aries changes his mind.

With such an angel like face and innocent expression....you are asking guns?

"Why...are you asking me?"

"Isn't gun the best to kill enemy?"

"No.no.no.no. Aren't you too young to be thinking about guns? No! I mean thinking about killing?"

Kristoff frowns.

"Not just for me. For everyone."

"What?"

Kristoff looks at the television and didn't mind Aries again.

Aries is panting waiting for Kristoff to say 'it's a joke' but as time passes by without anyone saying anything he is gone scared by the kid.

"Oi! Do not think of purchasing gun ever!"

Aries said shaking Kristoff.

Kristoff slaps his hands away from him with his calm demeanor then he tilts his head.

"Why?"

"What do you mean WHY?"

Kristoff eats his cake and then looks at Aries.

"It's mocha. I don't like mocha."

"Sorry they run out of choco---DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"

"If guns is not available....What else can I buy?"

"Anything that will not harm people."

Kristoff is shocked.

"Then how are we going to kill them?"

"I SAID! NO. KILLING!"

Kristoff frowns.

"You do not understand."

Aries shakes his head.

"Why do you want to kill people? Are you being bullied? Tell me and I will back you up. Beating people is my experties!"

"Bullying is bad."

"And killing is fine!?"

Aries feels his not too old but he might have to check his blood pressure.

"I am not going to kill people but the zombies."

Aries looks dumbfounded then he starts laughing.

"Oh so it was like that. Is that a themed park?"

Kristoff ignores him.

"Hey..Are you ignoring me on purpose?"

Kristoff sighs.

It's hard yo explain himself in the first place.

Explaining apocalypse will be impossible even more.

The hurdle is too huge.

"Can I gamble?"

Aries choke in the cake he ate.

"What are you even saying?"

Kristoff thinks Aries is pretty useless.

Can't purchase gun, can't help him gamble.

Yet he talks so much.

Aries drank all the cold coffee to relieve himself.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

Kristoff pounder what to say but find unable to say anything.

He just looks away then.

He will find a way himself.

This is better since he can't really explain what he plans to do.

Aries is in stalement.

He is staring at Kristoff as if he is looking at a problem child.

--

Kristian eyes dilated.

"He said that? Could be stress from school? Is he being bullied?" Kristian said biting his thumb.

Aries grabs his hand and put it down.

"Calm down.

I told you so we can think of a way to help him not to panic and startle him."

They are in a cafe.

Instead of talking to Kristian in their home, Aries thinks it is better to talk to Kristian away from Kristoff.

An kid who is thinking of purchasing gun and killing should not be agitated or if they feel threaten they might do something bad.

Kristian suddenly cry.

"It's my fault. Kristoff has been weird all his life and yet I only cared about myself. Maybe it build up more stress and now he feels the need to release the frustration."

Aries hugs his waist.

"Shh...No need to blame yourself or find someone to blame. Isn't it better that we find out early on? We can still help him."

Kristian hugs Aries.

Some people are staring at them and whispering and giggling but the two don't care about them.

Aries use his finger to lift Kristian's chin and kisses him.

"I will always be here to support you and your family.".

Kristian eyes moistened and he leans his head in Aries chest.

"I know."

Kristian told his parents what Aries told him.

They all need to look after Kristoff.

After they decided, Kristoff walks down the stairs wearing a casual clothes.

"Where are you going?" Kristian eyes trembles.

Kristoff is more of an introvert.

You can't even pull him out of his room at times.

Going out is not even a thing to him.

"Out."

Mother and father stares at each other.

"Should we accompany you?" Mother smiles.

Kristoff looks at them and slowly walks out the door.

"Hurry! Follow him!" Of course, father pushes Kristian to go.
