Tana smiled and pulled out his money, for a 'little kid' he sure had alot of money. He smiled and handed over the three dollars and smiled. "Oh, and by the way, I'm nineteen." He said and took his slice of pie before moving to a table to eat it happily.. He put the pie on the table and climbed into the seat carefully. His feet didnt' touch the floor and he swung them happily as he ate his pie. "Oh! This is the best Pie I've eaten!" He squealed happily and savored the slice.

Cael raised a brow and took the money, whistling low and said "Only a year younger than me." He picked up the cake up once more and took a large bite with his fork and popped it in his mouth. He heard what the the guy and said "Thanks. I made it this morning."

"Then I like your baking." Tana smiled brightly. "This is so good. I think I'll be comming here every day if I can. I love sweets. Apple pie is my favorite." He grinned and took another bite of his pie, his legs still swinging from his chair. He pouted as he finished his slice, his lower lip protruding.

Cael bites more from his cake and said "Well I make Apple every day so your in luck." He munched on the cake and said "Yum."

Tana smiled and put another three dollars on the counter, "Can I have another one?" He asked hopefully, and jumped up and down. "And...mot people don't believe me when I tell them my age." He said and got on his tiptoes, trying to look over the counter.

Kim let out a soft laughter when Jean had recalled he was too tired to shower. Kim had those days too, there was nothing gross about it. "Okay..." He whispered, leading the boy up the stairs and gently dropped his hand when they entered the bedroom.

It was a rather cosy room with yet another piano in it, yet this time it was an upright piano. Kim had it jus in case he woke up in the mide of the night and felt like compsing someting. The bedroom walls had several posters on them, musicians mostly and his own albums. Jotted here and there were several books, of course having great respect for them they were on his nightstand or his mahaghony drawer. There were two windows in the room, one showng sunrise and the other sunset. There was also a balcony by the bed which faced north. And the bed, a red canopy bed, was somewhat too big for even thre people. It was stuffed with about ten pillows and cushions and everything looked so soft and satiny on it. Just so as Jean's skin.

Right about then was it that he went towards his drawers and took a creamy, velvety shirt. Pure silk and comfortable. Rather baggy, even on himsef. It'd probaby act like a dress for Jean. "Is there anything else you would like?" He smiled, handing it to the boy. He didn't think his own trousers would fit Jean.

Cael nodded and handed off another pile slice to him, putting the money in the register.

"Thank you." Tana smiled and went back to the table happily. "So is the place normaly this empty?" He asked looking around, noticing just one other person.

Cael shrugged saying, "Sometimes yes, sometimes no. My other workers are around here somewhere." He shrugged again and took another bite of his cake, licking his lips and then licking the fork. He smiled to himself and took another bite, licking icing off his bottom lip.

'He's....hot...' Tana blushed lightly and he smiled. "Mmmm...yummy pie." he murmured to himself. He got lost looking at his pie, he looked almost sad, his fork hovering over the treat.

Cael put the pie down, and grabbed a canister of whip cream and he said "Hold on." He squrrited some on his cake and got up, walking around the counter to squirt some on the pie. It slightly got on Tana's face and he bent down to lick off the small cream piece. "Sorry about that." He leaned back and licked his lips saying "I love whip cream."

Once they made it to the bedroom Jean was in awe of the bed. "Wow, that a really big bed. Looks really comfy," he said as he continued to examine the bed and how lush it was. Jean was too tired to register that with a room this nice it had to belong to Kim. He got a dreamy sort of look on his face as he thought about sleeping on the bed.

When Kim pulled the shirt out Jean took from him with a soft smile and said, "Thanks Kim." Not thinking Jean began taking off his clothes till he was in his skivvies. He then put on the shirt Kim had given him which hung off of his small frame. The fabric felt nice and Jean smiled lightly.

With the last bits of his energy Jean climbed into the center of the large mattress slipping under the blanket. As soon as his little head hit the pillow he was sleeping peacefully.

A few hours had passed and Jean began to dream. He tossed a bit as the dream got scarier. It was Kent in his dream and he was angry, more angry then Jean had ever seen. The dream turned into a nightmare when Kent began to beat him violently and called him lewd names. It was the most vicious beating and Jean was sure Kent was going to kill him.

Jean woke up crying and tried to quiet himself. He was shaking and scared trying to remember where he was. Once he was fully awake the days event went through his mind and he remembered he was at Kim's house. Jean was still frightened from the nightmare. What if Kent came while he was sleeping? What if Kent found him and killed him? Jean got out of the bed pulling one of the lighter blankets with him. He had to hide. He noticed a closet and opened it. Luckily it was big and there was some space on the floor. He got in the closet and shut the door. Huddling in the corner he snuggled in the blanket. After a while Jean's head fell as he went back to sleep. Unknown to Jean the corner of the blanket was sticking out of the door.

Tana's eyes widened and he blushed darkly, "I...wow your kinda...weird." He smiled lightly and looked at him. "But not my type....You look a bit like someone who doesn't like relationships." He smiled, "I've had enough of one night stands and no commitment."

Cael raised a brow and said "I am not weird and I wasn't flirting." He chuckled and said "Relationships are stupid. Not worth time. Why waste time when there are so many guys out there?" He shrugged and returned back to his cake with more whip cream squirting on it.

"It all depends on the person." Tana shrugged. "I've had enough of one night stands, and people only wanting me because I look like I'm nine." He said softly. "I want to find that one special person that's meant for just me. And doesn't want to be with me because I'm legal and look like a child." He put a bite of pie in his mouth and sighed softly, looking at the bandages on his wrists, his free hand going to the ones on his neck.

Cael shrugged saying "Relationships aren't worth worrying about. There is always cake." With that, he took another bite of his dessert and took another, loving the melting chocolate in his mouth.

"Yeah....but being alone isn't the greatest feeling in the world." He said softly, "And eventually you run out of cake, or pie, or money to buy pie. And I get fat when I eat to much." He said softly.

Cael lifted his shit up and showed his flat stomach saying, "I don't run out of any of those. And I don't get fat." He patted his belly and put the shirt back down. "I am the owner and head baker of this shop, and so I know cake will always be here for me."

"Well that's all good and well for you. You own the shop, have an awesome metabolism, and can make your own cake. I have to buy my sweets." He said softly, eating his second slice of pie very, very slowly.

Tanyon walks over and slips in a tray of cupcakes he finished. "So you're back boss.. I made some more cupcakes while you were... out.." He said, sounding a bit annoyed and he himself wasn't entirely sure why.

Tana looked at the baker and blushed darkly, his fork clattering to the floor. 'oh geeze....another hotie' he thought to himself and pouted, he'd dropped his fork. He picked it up and held it up, "Can I get another fork?" He asked softly, trying not to stare at the two men. 'Every one's taller than me....you'd think I'd be used to it.'

Cael smirked slightly at Tanyon and said, "Yep, I couldn't stay away." He widened his eyes at the cupcakes and said "Can I have one?" He asked, staring at the cupcakes and he said "I will do anything for one of those cupcakes." Cael heard the guy and placed a fork on the counter, glancing at the cupcakes again, "Please? I will do anything."

Tana took the fork, getting on his tiptoes to reach over the counter. "I highly doubt you'd do anything for them." He smiled and looked at the cupcakes. "How much for one of those?" He asked, licking his lips. He still had his pie on the table, but the cupcakes looked really good.

Cael glanced over at the guy and said "Yes, I would. You apparently have never had any of his orgasm inducing cupcakes." He looked back to Tanyon and pleaded saying "I won't tease you anymore, or something. Say it and I will do it."

Tana rolled his eyes, "They do look good though." He said softly and stuck the fork into his mouth to try and stop himself from drooling. "So good looking." he murmured, and he wasn't just talking about the cupcakes either.
