"And where exactly was this done? It can be dangerous, Leo! They could get infected and then do you know how much pain you'd be in?" He tilted the boy's chin up, examining the snake bites, "They make you look like some little hoodlum. That's not what you want people to see. It'll affect how they treat you."

"I just wanted something a little different!"

"You ould have asked to dye your hair or buy a new shirt- This type of thing an be permanent. It an leave sars."

[ my c key has deided not to work. -.- so now all of my haraters sound like they have a lisp or something ]

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Just tiny little holes. They can close up too," Leo mumbled.

Ross narrowed his eyes, "That's not the point, Leo."

(XDDD)

[Deleted]

[ atually, it sounds like there are ottonballs in their mouths ]

"Small things lead to big things."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Look, as adorable as your concerned parent act is, I promise I'm not here to corrupt your son," Tory snorted, walking out of the bedroom, "I'm here to help Leo along."

Ross blinked, "And who the hell are you?"

[Deleted]

"How could you possibly help Leo along? You were the source of this horrid change - You're hurtful rather than helpful." Sky's eyes flashed.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"This is my friend Tory, Papa.." Leo murmured, smiling slightly at his friend.

"Look, Leo is a werecat just like me. He has no idea what it means to be one. He's reaching the peak of maturation, which means his body is changing and going to react when females of our kind go into heat. Now, he'll be confused and I'm here to help him along," Tory spoke calmly, looking at Sky and Ross steadily.

"What the f*ck? It's not your place to teach our son about sex. He doesn't need you around pressuring him to so things." Ross snapped.

[Deleted]

Sky was silent for a few moments. "...Very well. You may teach our son. However- You may only instruct him in the things that we approve. You may not influence his appearance, his perspective, or his personality."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tory held his hands up, "That was his own decision. I was merely giving him my opinion on it."

"What- Sky! You're just going to let him hang around Leo anyways?" Ross scowled.

Leo blinked, "Wait, what? I'm at the peak of what?"

[Deleted]

"Tory's right. He's a Werecat - We're not. He can teach him things about his own kind that we have no idea about." He inhaled a steadying breath. "Granted, I don't like him near Leo, but... I do agree that he needs to discover some things about himself. Of course-" He shot Tory a look. "Once he enters academy, he'll need to cut off all ties."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"What could he possibly teach him?"

"Oh, self-control, healthy sexual behaviors. That kind of stuff," Tory pointed out, "You don't want him wandering off and fathering a littler of kits, do you?"

Leo pouted, "But Momma, why can't I still talk to Tory when I go to Academy?"

[Deleted]

Sky stiffened at the mention of the 'dirty deed' but looked at his son. "Because you need to focus on your schoolwork, love, and you can't have any distractions."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

(DAMN PHONE. a LITTER of kits. Not littler. -_-)

"I can still have friends though," He muttered.

Ross wanted to protest, but grumbled instead, "Fine. But if you hurt him, I'll skin myself a nice werecat rug."

Tory smirked and saluted him, "Mm, understood."

[Deleted]

"Now, it's dinner time - Leo, say goodbye to your friend."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He pouted again, but nodded, going over to Tory and hugging him tightly, "Thanks for hanging out with me today, Tory! I had a lot of fun despite..everything."

The older werecat smiled and ruffled his hair, "So did I, kitten. I'll text you, mmkay?" He waved to Sky and Ross before showing himself out the door, whistling.

[Deleted]

Sky watched with a disapproving frown. Once the male left, he turned and set the three serving bowls - one pasta, one sauce, one garlic bread - at the center of the table before dishing everyone their portions.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Leo sighed and took his seat at the table, "Mommy, Daddy, can't you give Tory a chance? You don't even know him."

"And how well do you?" Ross asked, loosening his tie and sitting down.

[Deleted]

Sky's gaze flicked over to Leo and back at the steaming bowl he hovered over, setting Ross's plate in front of him and then Leo's in front of him.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"I don't treat him like a bad guy, at least," He picked up his fork, "He wants to help. Is that so bad?"

"Leo, you don't quite know how the world works. Some people don't do things out of the goodness of their heart."

[Deleted]

"Some people do them because they're selfish and have ulterior motives. And sometimes those motives involve things you don't want to do - Things you aren't ready to do." He sat down.
