Chapter 14

"Thanks for today," Zachary said. When they arrive at Keith's house, they are already standing in front of a gate while Zachary is still carrying Kaizer. 
They let Kaizer enjoy playing with himself until the sun comes down. After that, they decided to go home. At first, Kaizer didn't want to go but Zachary told him they would come back there next time that's why he finally agreed to go home. 
Keith held Kaizer, his eyes already half closed. It looked like he was sleepy but he managed to look at him again and wait for him to go home.
"Thank you for today....take care," Keith said. He didn't smile but his eyes were soft looking at him. This also makes him smile.
"Ah by the way can I borrow Kaizer tomorrow after his class?" Zachary asked. Keith, look at him for a few seconds. He's confused as to why Zachary suddenly wants to take Kaizer again.
"Why?" He finally asked.
"To accompany him of course, I will take care of him I promise." Zachary raised his hand just like swearing to him, and with that action, Keith couldn't help not to shake his head while smiling.
"Ok, just get him at 10:00 am, that's the time he's available because he has a tutor from 8:00 to 9:00 am," Keith said. The thing that made Zachary stunned when Keith patted his head while smiling at him.
"I-I will send him home when you're out to your job, no need to fetch him," Gslf said. He looked away from Keith's eyes before he looked at Kaizer and pinched his cheeks.
"For real brother? I can go to your house again?" Kaizer asks with a wide smile on his lips, It looks like he's not sleepy anymore.
"Yes, if you don't give your dad headaches and be a good boy I will take you there," Glf said, still pinching Kaizer's cheeks. While the two are having a conversation, Keith just looks at them without saying a word.
"Promise I won't give Dad a headache and I will be a good boy to him." Zachary heard it, Zachary nodded at Kaizer but it made Keith chuckle.
"Ok, ok I need to go." He stops from pinching Kaizer before he walks toward his car. Before he enters the driver's seat he looks back again, he waves at them but when Kaizer is not looking he winks at Keith, he just shakes his head but is amused because of Zachary's naughtiness.
Zachary is happy because he finally can feel the building bond around them.
He knows Keith can't trust him but he can feel Keith slowly adjusting to trust him and if that happens he will take that opportunity to pursue him more.
Johnsen pov
I'm currently waiting for my brother to arrive. It's already afternoon and nearly the Sun will fade. I know I'm being overprotective even though I know he can protect himself but I'm his brother it's normal to feel this way.
I get down from our stairs and I notice that my little brother's friend is sitting on the sofa while Nike and Sean are sitting on a single sofa.
I think there's something about them that makes them look more than friends now. "Hey big brother," they call me at the same time.
"Hey, has my little brother arrived yet?" I ask while I'm walking toward them. After I arrived I sat on the sofa where there was space beside Ivan who was sitting, sleeping. 
"Not yet I think he is enjoying his date," Steffan said. I notice that Steffan's eyes look at Ivan. I want to grin but he finally looks at me. I don't want to look like I'm being nosy, that's why I pretend I didn't see him.
A few minutes later I feel that he's already moving. He already woke up and started to have a game with Steffan. I don't know if they already made up because they're not fighting while gaming.
"Hey, Steffan you cheater!" Ivan shouted Make me look at them…..or not they still the same
"Why?" Steffan asked, looking at his phone but he's grinning.
"You cheat, you attack even if the game is just starting!" Ivan complained. Steffan shrugged his shoulders. I think I will get used to these two.
3rd pov 
"No, I'm not. Just admit that I'm better than you," Steffan said again before he looked at Ivan while turning an innocent face.
"What? You cheat that's not counted," Ivan said and put his phone in his pocket. He doesn't want to play anymore.
Steffan wants to say something when Zachary gets their attention when he enters the house.
"Hey, little brother, how's your date?" Johnsen asked who walked toward him. Zachary starts to frown because he doesn't want his big brother to treat him like that. He feels like he is still a child when his brother is around.
"I'm good. By the way….." Zachary turns his attention to his gang.
"I will get Kaizer here again tomorrow. Play with him," Zachary commands. His gang has a funny reaction 'We're a gangster but we end up playing with a child?' They said in their mind.
"Why? You're the Mother you should play with him," Steffan said while grinning which made Johnsen look confused.
"Wait, who's Kaizer? Play with him? A child? And wait, mother?" Asking while looking at them he can picture it out in his mind but he needs confirmation.
"Well Kaizer is the child of his future husband," Mike explains. Zachary wants to throw something at them for being nosy and has a gut to tell it in front of his brother.
"Don't tell my little brother that guy is already married and has a son, do you want to die? What if his wife found out?!" Johnsen asked his expression to change by seeing that but Zachary didn't bother to look at him even though his face was scary. He ignored him and walked again to go to the sofa and sat beside Ivan where Johnsen was sitting earlier.  
"He doesn't have a wife. If he has, why would I think of chasing him? I'm not that crazy to do such a thing and besides it doesn't matter if he has a son or not, I like his son….don't worry I know what I'm doing," Zachary said. Johnsen looked into their eyes and he couldn't believe that this word come out of his brother's mouth, Even his gang was stunned and they started to keep their mouth shut. They thought Zachary was not serious about that decision and he just wanted to play with Keith because of the first time they encountered each other but this time when they heard it they could see how serious he was.
"Then where is his wife?" Johnsen asked, looking at him while his eyebrow raised. With just a few pushes he won't meddle in this matter again but there's something he can't let.
"Dead." Zachary simply said and held the pillow. Johnsen's eyes look down on the floor before he sighs.
"What if he can't move on with his wife and what if he is straight what will you do?" Johnsen became worried he knew what would happen if the guy cheated he would easily forget his wife but if his wife died while they loved each other Zachary wouldn't have a chance to get his attention.
"Yes, boss, what if he can't accept your feelings because the one he only loves is his wife? From what we found his wife died in a car accident This will be his trauma" Steffan said. This makes Zachary think about what they're saying, there's a possibility that, indeed, he can't win against Keith's wife even though she already died. 'What if that's true?'
"I don't care, love can learn. Even though he is still not moving on, I'm willing to wait until he is finally ready to accept me." Johnsen makes a deep sigh, he decides to let his brother do what he wants as if he can stop him. He knows how stubborn his brother is. If it will lead him to heartbreak he knows Zachary will learn from his actions "OK do what you want but if that's Zachary I want you to prepare yourself, The one you love is not an ordinary guy you will easily get. If that feeling is still not deep enough you should think again if you will continue or not but I will support you in your decision," Johnsen said. Zachary gang members smile, he amuses them because their boss's brother is so protective and lovely and Zachary is lucky to have him.
"Hmm," Zachary nods. He is happy that his brother understands him even if he can't show it. But deep inside he is thankful that even if their parents don't treat him like the youngest of their family, Johnsen does have that responsibility.
"So how old is that child?" Johnsen asked, he wanted to know Kaizer's appearance and also wanted to test Zachary.
"5," Zachary said. Johnsen can see Zachary's eye expression even if it's plain, Zachary eyes can't lie.
"Then your friend shouldn't be the one who plays with him, isn't it supposed to be your responsibility? You're the one who got him here." Zachary looks at him but suddenly he looks away. He can't tell the truth about why he wants his friend to play with him.
"We know why!" Nike and Sean interrupt. Zachary looked at them and glared, giving a warning not to speak but Sean and Nike didn't bother to look at him.
"What?" Johnsen asked as he became more curious.
"4 of them don't know how to play with a kid. The last time Kaizer visited here it became messy," Nike said. Mike, Steffan, Ivan and Zachary shut their mouths.
"While we're playing hide and seek Steffan and Ivan start fighting without even realizing that we're still playing and Kaizer said that Boss and Mike didn't know how to play that's why Kaizer pulled them outside," Sean explains both of them laugh after that even Johnsen finds it funny and looks at them teasingly.
Johnsen laughs out loud to make them frown but Johnsen laughs out loud more. "Hahaha so that happens," Johnsen said. When he finally calmed down he even faked coughing when he felt that he laughed too much to make his throat tired. Zachary rolled his eyes. He wanted to say 'It's your karma' but he didn't say it out loud he kept it inside his mind.
"You should practice playing with a child. What will you do if no one can play with him?" Johnsen said. Zachary gang members nodded when they heard Johnsen speak.
"I can play with him, you know but not that kind of play, " Zachary complained. He knows that Zachary isn't an active kid, he just found it out when his parents told him Zachary hates doing school activities.
"Well... still you should learn that and use that to pursue that child's feelings, have a bond with him if you can't play, try to find something else to do to have a bond with him..... now I'm excited to meet that child," Johnsen said. Zachary didn't answer instead he stood up and walked upstairs without looking at them when he heard Keith text him. He knows it and he will take that advice.
His gang and big brother looked at him until he entered his room.
When Zachary arrives he reads the message. "Take care from driving…" 
"Have you arrived?" That simple message makes his heart beat faster. The smile on his face never fades.
"Is this feeling called warmth?""Thanks for today," Gulf said. When they arrive at Meu's house, they are already standing in front of a gate while Gelf is still carrying Kaizer.
They let Kaizer enjoy playing with himself until the sun comes down. After that, they decided to go home. At first, Kaizer didn't want to go but Gelf told him they would come back there next time that's why he finally agreed to go home.
Meu held Kaizer, his eyes already half closed. It looked like he was sleepy but he managed to look at him again and wait for him to go home.
"Thank you for today....take care," Meu said. He didn't smile but his eyes were soft looking at him. This also makes him smile.
"Ah by the way can I borrow Kaizer tomorrow after his class?" Gelf asked. Meu, look at him for a few seconds. He's confused as to why Gelf suddenly wants to take Kaizer again.
"Why?" He finally asked.
"To accompany him of course, I will take care of him I promise." Gelf raised his hand just like swearing to him, and with that action, Meu couldn't help not to shake his head while smiling.
"Ok, just get him at 10:00 am, that's the time he's available because he has a tutor from 8:00 to 9:00 am," Meu said. The thing that made Gelf stunned when Meu patted his head while smiling at him.
"I-I will send him home when you're out to your job, no need to fetch him," Gslf said. He looked away from Meu's eyes before he looked at Kaizer and pinched his cheeks.
