In The Melodies and The Memories (CA - Saber & Ulric)

PreviousPage 10 of 10

Lee was looking less confused at the bushes than before, but still confused nonetheless. Hearing Ulric's question, he shook his head.

" No, I think we're... going back inside. We've done enough games for now." He answered slowly, his attention not fully there.

“Oh,” Ulric said, looking back at the hedge. His face showed neither disappointment nor interest, for what was turning in his mind was hidden entirely behind a placid child-like expression. Lee’s hand held firm, Ulric was a captive to the older boy and his desires.

Ulric went with Lee, but the boys did not make it back inside. Standing behind the gate in Lee's front yard was the tall woman with the tight bun and Lee's mother. Ulric frowned when she beckoned him.

He looked down at the little white astronaut in his hands, and he offered it back to Lee. "Here," he said.

Lee felt the hair on his neck stand up when he saw the adults beyond the gate. There shouldn't have been much of a reason for it but he felt like he wasn't supposed to have brought the child he was babysitting outside. Probably because he had almost lost track of said child, but the adults didn't know that. Still, it played on his conscious to cause a bit of anxiety that he was found outside with the boy.

Hearing the young boy's voice, Lee looked down at the boy's little hand that now held up the astronaut in an attempt to give it back. Lee's eyes drifted toward the woman who stood tall next to his mother for a moment before returning back to the amber eyes of the little boy. Lee's features softened as he crouched down to the boy's height. 

" Keep it," he said, placing a hand on the boy's hand that held the astronaut and gently pushed it back. " If they try to take it away, just let them know it was a gift and it's really special, okay?" 

Lee gave him a reassuring smile. He didn't really want to give the boy back to his caretaker as she gave him an off feeling, but there was no helping it. And so he stood up and headed over to return the boy to the woman.
