"Win?" Bright breathed out. The younger didn't respond and just kept kissing him.

Bright held Win's waist steadily and tried to hold him in place, but Win continued to kiss him.

Bright moved his face back but that still didn't stop him and he moved to Bright's neck.

"W-Win!" Bright said a little louder. Win let out a groan of disapproval and moved back to stare into Brights' eyes.

"What?" He said coldly

"What do you mean what?" Bright mocked "you dragged me to the library, straddled me, and just started kissing me. As much as I like kissing you I can't do it for another hour"

Bright let out soft breaths as he looked at Win. He could see the guilty look forming in his eyes.

"Sorry" He whispers then gets off of Bright "I've just haven't had someone to make out with before and it's....nice. Even if it's just you"

Bright dramatically gasped and placed his hand over his heart.

"What do you mean " just you" don't forget you're the one who's been all over me for the past 3 days. I thought you'd avoid me again since your Dad exposed you for being a vi-"

Win placed his hand over Brights mouth.

"Bright, I may have stopped bullying you but ill kick your ass if you finish that sentence" he glared at Bright.

The said boy sighed and nodded his head in agreement. Win slowly took his hand down and snuggled into the beanbag.

"So...? What do you wanna do instead of making out?" Win asked with a small blush forming on his cheeks.

"We could...talk" Bright suggested

"About?"

"Well our parents are meeting today, maybe we can talk about them."

Yup, today was the day Bright had been dreading the most. His mom meeting Mr. Metawin. After the project was done, Brights Mom kept pestering him about wanting to meet Win's dad. Bright tried to avoid having it happen but she was pretty consistent.

He told both Win and his Dad about it. He could tell Win was nervous because he knew Brights Mom knew about his bullying towards her son. But Mr. Metawin seemed too excited about meeting her. He screamed with joy when he first heard the words come out of Brights mouth.

They agreed that Bright would come over after school, then Bright's mom would come by after work so they all could have dinner.

Bright had to explain to Mr. Metawin to not bring up his and Win's current situation. He just said he wasn't ready for her to know yet. Mr. Metawin was disappointed that he couldn't brag about his favorite ship to Brights mom but respected his decision.

"You already know my Dad though" Win pointed out

"Right" Bright sheepishly smiled and tried to find another topic but Win best him to it.

"You've never talked about your parents, did you get your boldness from your Dad" Win joked letting out a small laugh

But Bright wasn't laughing. Instead, he stayed quiet struggling to keep the tears from falling out of his eyes. Hed never told anyone about what happened to his Dad or what he was doing to him and Brights Mom. If anyone asked he would say that he died.

Win stopped laughing when he noticed Bright was tensed up and looked as if he was about to cry.

"Bright?" Win's voice sounded concerned but Bright couldn't hear him. His mind was lost as he was thinking of the past. How he feared coming home from school, the shouting, the constant insults, the beatings hed have to suffer or the beatings hed have to watch his mom take.

Win didn't know what to do as he watched the elder breathe uncontrollably as if he was having a panic attack.

Win moved closer and brought Bright into his embrace and started whispering in his ear.

"It's okay Bright im hear."

"You're okay I won't leave you"

"Just breathe for me okay?"

Win started playing in Brights hair when the elder placed his face in Win's neck.

"Bright?" Win said softly as Brights breathing slowed down.

"Just hold me please" Bright cried.

Win could hear the small sniffles from him and started to feel guilty.

Did something happen to his Dad? Is he dead? Win was asking lots of questions to himself.

He was curious to know more about Bright. Always had been. But was just too scared to try.

They sat in each other embrace for a couple more minutes until Bright lifted himself to look Win in the eyes. Win could see how red and puffy they looked and wanted nothing more than to kiss the tears away.

"I'm sorry" Bright apologized

"Don't be." Win stated, "I'm sorry I brought him up, to begin with, I don't know what happened but it seems like it was serious."

Bright stayed silent for a minute to figure out if he should tell Win or not. He hadn't even told Mew of his terrible childhood but somehow being with Win made him feel as if talking about it would be okay.

"My Dad" Bright started "He....he wasn't a good man..."

Bright paused and Win moved to hold his hand so he could continue.

"Long story short he was abusive. He use to beat me and my mom for almost all my life, im not sure how long he was doing it to her. I was always too scared to say anything and so was my mom, it went on for years until I finally dared to stop it. One day after school I came home and there he was, in the living room kicking my mom while she was on the ground pleading for her life" Bright's voice cracked and he let the tears fall

"He didn't notice I was even home and just kept going, I could see he did more than kick her" his voice was shaky "there was a lot of blood and I was so scared that I was gonna lose her. I was only 13 at the time. My mom was the only one who brought joy into my world, when Dad wasn't around all we did was laugh. There was no fear, no crying, and no hatred only love. So while he was distracted I took the house phone and hid in my closet to call the police. The operator stayed on the phone with me till the police came. Later he was sent to prison and he's still there to this day. I and my mom don't talk about him and I never planned on ever having to. Everyone around me always has functional families and doesn't seem to go through any problems. It's just embarrassing." Bright concluded.

Win gulped as he felt the same way as Bright. He knew what it was like to be around people who didn't have family issues or a parent that was absent in their life.

"Im sorry you had to go through that Bright, and im sorry for your mom too." Win let out a small breath "I know how it feels to be embarrassed about your family and feel different from everyone"

Bright looked up to stare at Win with curious eyes.

"Have you ever wondered why you've never seen my mom?" Win asked

Bright shook his head "I just figured I'd meet her one day when she came back from some meeting on the other side of the world"

Win let out a small chuckle and looked away from Bright.

"The truth is....she left me and my dad" he paused "On my birthday.."

"WHAT!??" Bright screamed "Your birthday"

"Yeah" Win replied "I was 10 years old. She was barely around or took care of me like my Dad did, I always thought that she hated me and I always tried so hard to have her attention on me. For my 10th birthday, I was having a small party. I didn't want it thought my dad was the one who suggested it. Everyone in my class came to it and I remember being angry because I never spoke to any of the kids until I had to invite them personally to my party. " Bright smiled as he remembers him being the same way "throughout the party I could see my Mom and Dad either arguing or avoiding each other, I knew something was going on but it wasn't any of my business to I stayed to myself until I saw her walk out the door with a suitcase.."

Bright rubbed circles around Wins back "It's okay, you can continue"

"I ran out after her because I thought she was leaving for another work thing and I wanted to say goodbye. I wasn't even mad that she was leaving my party early because she did that most of my life...but when I got outside I saw her kissing a man who wasn't my father, I watched her smile as she put her suitcase in the trunk. Before she could get in the car I ran to her and held her legs crying. I remember the look of disgust she gave me and how she pushed me off of her and the words she spoke " I can't believe I spent these last 10 years being around you and that man" after that she left and I was on the lawn crying my eyes out at my own party. My Dad had found me later on because they were about to cut the cake. After that day I never celebrated a birthday or cared to have anyone close to me" Win concluded.

"I guess we do have some things in common huh?" Both boys let out a small laugh and stared into each other eyes.

"I hate my Dad"

"And I hate my mom"
