Roses are Red... (Race/ Bearon)

[praiseofblood]

Bearon blinked at that first statement and frowned, plopping down.

Rhema looked at his son. "Bear?"

[ode]

Roman glanced up and frowned.

[praiseofblood]

"Are you sure, Dad?" He asked, frowning. "Could that be why I'm feeling this way?"

[ode]

"Very well could be, son. Mates bring out an inten se need, a yearning for the tother. Do you havew that for your bearer friend?"

[praiseofblood]

Bearon bit his lip. "I don't know. I can't stop thinking about him though. Should I ask him out?"

[ode]

"You do what you think is right, Bear," Roman said with a smile and then scowled when ridiculously loud music burst from an upstairs room. "And start by going to tell your brother that I'm going to break that damned radio if he doesn't stop that crap."

Liam, Rhema and Roman's youngest, liked to turn the music on like that and give his parents the silent treatment when he didn't get his way. The boy was such a diva when it came to his two older brothers it just made no sense. sixteen or not, the boy knew better!

[praiseofblood]

Bearon shook his head, "Alright," he said, standing and going to Liam.

[ode]

Liam was sitting Indian style in the middle of his bed cutting up family pictures and throwing them in a nearby garbage pail.

[praiseofblood]

"Liam?" Bearon asked as he came in the room, "What's the matter little brother?"

[ode]

Liam glanced up at Bear before going back to killing his parents via photo. "I hate your stupid parents! They wont let me do anything! I'm not even allowed to spend the night over Tony's because he's a giver and my boyfriend. It's not like he's my mate! This sucks! Everything sucks!"

[praiseofblood]

Bearon went to sit next to his brother, gently taking the scissors. "It's alright, little brother. I'm sure they don't mean it that way. You know they don't approve of Tony."

[ode]

"They just don't like him because he wants to show me - finally! - about sex. Whats the big deal anyway? It's not like I can get pregnant without a mate!" the boy said with a snort.

[praiseofblood]

Bearon shook his head. "You can't but your first time is very special. That boy could hurt you, and he could do it quite roughly. If it's not done correctly, you could need a medibox."

He looked at his baby brother. "Dad would know, I hear tell he was the very type of boy that Tony is, screwing everyone, or dating one male until he can have sex with them. They just want to be sure that he's the right boy. Do you think he is? "

[ode]

Liam squirmed. "He's a boy..." he offered, "But no boy will be the perfect boy until my mate. I don't want to wait that long. A Giver wont stay a virgin for me!"

[praiseofblood]

Bearon smiled. "You really think that?" he asked. "First off, you're pretty cute, for a kid. And any Giver worth having would love to keep himself for you, especially if he knew you. I mean, no giver wants a Bearer who'd just give his body to anyone, because it's supposed to be his."

Bearon sighed, trying to see things from his brother's point of view. "Ok, but. Tell me this. Has he ever offered to do anything for you without asking?"
