Subject: Where Life Takes Us - Chapter 2

	Well lets go: This story is Fictional, all similarities to someones
life are completely coincidental. The story itself and the characters in it
belong to me, kuragari129. If this is illegal for you to view this in your
country/state/province/whatever then I ask you to leave now. If you find a
sexual relationship between two boys offensive or disgusting, why are you
here? Donate to Nifty so they can keep giving you great stories for many
years to come! http://donate.nifty.org/donate.html

	So after a few emails and some brain storming I think I have enough
for chapter two. (April 15th) I always write things here before writing the
chapter so making that note will tell you guys how long it took me to write
the chapter.

	Anyways, last chapter was all about how Wyatt and Talon became
friends and then brothers. Good ol' bathroom trips make the world a better
place. For Talon it got him a brother, who by the way is older than
him. About 7 months to be exact, just enough so that they are a year apart
in school.

	This chapter is about Wyatt getting settled in. It'll have the
personalities of his two sisters, Caitlyn and Kayla. You'll also get to see
more of Mrs. Diana Luis as well. Basically you'll see why Talon wanted a
brother so badly.

	This story wont be getting sexual for a good bit, so don't get
hopeful. I will inform you when it occurs though, so be hopeful then. Other
than that I hope you enjoy chapter 2 as much as you enjoy chapter 1. Thanks
for reading!

	P.S. This story as well as "Life's Expectations" (Here is a link to
it http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/highschool/lifes-expectations/) have
chapters named after songs. Last chapter was called "Home" and was a song
by Daughtry. This chapter's title comes from the Band: Good
Charlotte. Enjoy!

	Chapter 2 – Alive

	Here he stands, in front of his new home. Wyatt, now Wyatt Luis,
looked at his new home. Just the way it looked made Wyatt jealous of
Talon. Even though this was now his home that didn't mean that Wyatt truly
felt welcome.

	To be honest he would say he felt like he was intruding in their
lives. After his excitement of finally being adopted, he felt out of place
and more alone than ever. Sure he would be in a room attached to Talon's
though a bathroom. He would even have his own personal space here. But that
is what made him feel like an intruder.

	He was welcome to their home, yet he didn't feel it. This home
looked to big, to fancy to be his now. Its blue and white walls surrounding
the inner frame. The grand doors that welcomed him to enter. It all felt to
good to be true to Wyatt, he felt like something would go wrong.

	It was Diana who started his introductions to everybody. "This is
Caitlyn, your younger sister, she is eight."

	"Hi!" She's loader than Talon... Wow. Wyatt thought to himself.

	"Your older sister, Kayle, she's 14."

	"Woot another brother. Stay out of my way, I'll stay out of yours."
She's kinda pretty but rude. I don't know about her...

	"You've met Grandpa Nickolas." The two exchanged a wave to one
another. "This is Jessie and her daughter Rachael, they are our maids. They
will not clean your room, but will take your laundry and garbage out when
they can. If you would like certain cloths to be washed quickly, you are to
do it yourself."

	Diana wasn't rude, from her prospective, she was telling Wyatt the
rules as they went along. At least the ones that popped into her head. "I
don't have very many cloths to wash."

	He had four sets of cloths and A pair of pajama pants. "Don't worry
Wyatt, tomorrow we're going into town and you can get some more."

	"Well why don't we go inside now?" Grandpa Nickolas made a gesture
to go inside. To everyone but Wyatt this was just a way to get everyone
inside. The true intention was to get Wyatt's mind off the 'free cloths'
from his new family. Wyatt knew what he was trying to do and gave a 'thank
you' before going inside.

	The entrance way was huge. It had it's own walk in closet to put
your shoes and Jackets. Each section was labeled to who's stuff when
there. The only name missing was Grandpa Nickolas, but he didn't live in
this house and Wyatt knew that.

	Besides the closet, the entrance way had the main stair case going
upstairs, and a straight path to the living room/Kitchen. A ceiling fan
overhead and hardwood floors below. What Wyatt didn't expect was the fluff
ball of a husky that sat on his bed in the hallway.

	"This is Shylo, Wyatt!" Talon literally dragged Wyatt across the
floor to the large dog. "He's really nice, he wont bite!" Shylo, who was a
malamute husky cross, smelled up and down Wyatt. He stopped at his crotch
which Wyatt covered up immediately.

	"Well, Talon why don't you show Wyatt to his room and we'll meet
you in the kitchen okay?"

	"Okay mom!" Pulling Wyatt again, "This way!" When they reached the
stairs Talon let go of Wyatt and ran up the stairs. Wyatt hesitated and
looked back as if asking permission.

	It was Grandpa Nickolas who rescued him again, "Just try your best
to go about the house as if it was your own. I know it'll be hard at first
but you'll get used to it." With a hug Wyatt was off to fallow Talon where
ever he went.

	When He got up the stairs Talon was no where in sight. Wyatt crept
along looking into rooms. He saw what was obviously Caitlyns room, with
dolls all over the floor. Then he past Kayla's room with magazine pictures
covering the walls completely.

	Just when he got to the next door Talon appeared from two doors
down. "This room is yours. That one is mine and that's our bathroom." Wyatt
went to 'his room' and looked inside.

	It had a queen sized bed right in the middle with news paper
surrounding the walls. White paint was visibly fresh on the walls by the
scent in the room. There was a dresser and a desk in the room as well, also
away from the walls.

	"You didn't have to paint the room for me, you know." Wyatt almost
felt spoiled by how the room looked. He couldn't believe that they would go
through all this trouble for him.

	"It was me and Grandpa who painted it. We had to take the Tv out of
the room cause we were worried it might get splashed by paint." A Tv too? I
don't need a Television in my room. Wyatt may have thought that way, but he
also thought it was nice to have just in case.

	"You can set your stuff down where you want. Then I'll show you the
bathroom and the 'better' staircase." So Wyatt set his stuff down on his
bed and fallowed Talon into the bathroom.

	It well well equip with two sinks and a large mirror. It even had a
bathtub and a separate shower stall. They were in positions that if they
were both in bathing they couldn't see each other, even when they got out
of the shower. The toilet even had it's own 'stall' in the corner of the
room.

	From there Talon led him down the hallway to a spiral
staircase. Talon then proceeded to slide down on it via the
handrail. Wyatt, yet again, slowly crept down the stairs nervous of what
they would ask or do.

	When his feet were finally visible, it was once again Grandpa
Nickolas to come to his rescue, "Come on, we're about to start eating, you
don't wanna miss Diana's homemade pizza, it's very good."

	Wyatt then heard his tummy grumble, and proceeded to go down the
stairs much faster. He found that the landing of the stairs fell to just in
between the Kitchen and living room. The living room was furnished with
leather sofas, chairs and love seat. The kitchen had a island in the middle
with enough space for the entire family to eat at it.

	Wyatt took a seat between Talon and Grandpa Nickolas. "Would you
like peperoni or Hawaiian, Wyatt?" Diana handed him two plates one with
each type of pizza on them.

	"Peperoni please." After taking a bite he continued, "Thank you,
it's amazing." The conversation around the 'table' was very directed
towards Wyatt. Caitlyn wanted to know everything there is to know about
him.

	The even asked questions like, 'Did you ever know your mom and
dad?' and 'How long did you live in the orphanage?' She got warned both
times she was crossing a line by her father. That didn't stop Wyatt from
answering though, he felt obligated to tell what he knew of his parents.

	The conversation eventually got to what the family had planed for
tomorrow, "Well it's 5:30 now, so if you guys get hungry just have some
more pizza. Tomorrow Talon, Wyatt and I are going downtown to do dome
shopping." Diana, a lady who loved her shopping, was not going to take no
for an answer from Wyatt.

	"I don't need to go shopping, I have everything I need." Wyatt
actually hated the fact that they were gonna spend money on him. He didn't
want their money to be spent on him. Even if he was their adopted child
now.

	"Wyatt, son, you don't even have a week worth of cloths to
wear. Plus, I don't think you want to have a plain white bedroom." Kenneth
explained why they were going to spend their money on him. Wyatt still
didn't like the idea.

	"I don't mind having a white room, I'm used to it by now."

	"You must have a favorite color Wyatt." Grandpa Nickolas waited for
Wyatt's answer.

	"I like the color blue... I guess you could say it's my favorite."

	"Then how bout this. I have some extra blue paint that you can
use. It wont cost us a thing and you get some color in your room. Sound
good to you?" Wyatt blushed and just nodded his head.

	"Well now that the paint thing is settled, lets face it, you don't
quite have the cloths to live in weekly." Wyatt knew Kenneth was right, but
was still very against the idea of them spending money on him. "Lets make a
deal. We will only spend as much money as both our budget and you are
comfortable with."

	"Okay."

	"Wyatt, you must get at least 4 outfits. That is the minimum."
Diana went 'mom mode' and Wyatt was familiar with the lack of options he
had. He decided to just nod his head and blush.

	From the family went and did their own thing. Kayla went up to her
room. Caitlyn continued her admiring of Wyatt, who was watching TV with
Talon and their parents.

	It wasn't long after 9 that Kenneth got up to go to bed. When he
did get up he noticed a sound asleep Wyatt and Talon resting each their
heads on each other. Kenneth shook Talon awake, "Talon you should go to
bed."

	"I wasn't asleep, I was resting my eyes like you always do." Talon
then noticed that Wyatt was asleep beside him. "Wyatt is asleep though."

	"I'm going to carry him up to bed. Go up and get ready for bed."

	Talon jumped up and started toward the spiral staircase. Just
before he went up he stopped and looked at his father. "Wyatt's room smells
like paint. He wont get a good nights sleep in there. My bed has more than
enough room for the both of us though."

	Talon made his way up as Kenneth figured out exactly how to go
about lifting Wyatt. He ended up putting one arm under the knees and one
behind his shoulders. Wyatt didn't even react to Kenneth's actions, he was
sound asleep.

	Kenneth made his way up the stairs to Talon's room. When he arrived
Talon had just come out of the bathroom, in his pjs. Talon helped his
father get Wyatt into bed and then joined his new brother.

	"Good night Talon, I'll see you tomorrow when you wake up." With a
kiss on the forehead to both boys Kenneth turned to leave.

	As he turned off the lights Talon spoke up. "Thanks dad."

	"For what Talon?"

	"For being so awesome." Kenneth smiled to himself and shut the door
behind him.

	That night everyone had a sound sleep in their house. Kayla though
was up till 2 am texting, facebooking, and just all around procrastinating
sleep. She had her own thoughts about Wyatt.

	"It's just Talon getting his way again. He never gets in trouble
and always gets what he wants. Now I'm gonna have two brothers to deal with
instead of just one. It's bull!"


	In the morning Wyatt woke up shortly after eight, the time he was
woken up at the orphanage. The last thing he remembered was watching TV
with the Luis family. He still couldn't believe he was adopted.

	What surprised him even more was that he wasn't in 'his bed' but
Talon's. Wyatt got up and went into his room before he woke up Talon. He
got changed into his pajama pants that stopped in the middle of his shins.

	Wyatt made his way slowly down to the kitchen. To his surprise
Diana was already there making Pancakes. "Good morning Wyatt."

	"I guess it's true about mothers having eyes at the back of the
head." He took a seat down at the island and watched as Diana cooked.

	"It's not that, I heard someone come down stairs and I knew it
wasn't any of the ones I've given birth to." Diana tried to stay away from
saying 'her children'. She wanted him to feel welcome to her home.

	"I usually got up around this time at the orphanage. I guess I'm
just used to it." Wyatt said with a grin. Diana handed him a plate with two
pancakes on it. She then handed over a small plate with butter and the
syrup. "Thank you, it looks great."

	"I threw in some cinnamon in the mix, hope you enjoy it." Wyatt
poured the syrup onto the pancakes. He used do much that Diana was happy
that the plate she owns have curved sides. "Want some pancakes with your
syrup?"

	"Oh, sorry I didn't know how much to use. There is never enough
when they served them to us." As much as Diana hated hearing about this and
that from the orphanage she had already had this conversation with her
husband. 'Wyatt will mention things that are different for a while, you'll
just have to listen as it slowly becomes less frequent.' is what Kenneth
had said.

	"It's fine Wyatt. Use as much as you like. We have plenty of syrup
for the family."

	Wyatt started to eat and after just one bite was hooked on Diana's
special touch of cinnamon. "This is great!" Wyatt took a few more bites
barely stopping to breath. When he had finished half the meal he finally
spoke up. "Could I have something to drink please?"

	"Of course you can. We have milk, water, apple or orange juice."

	"Apple juice please!" Wyatt's favorite was apple juice, he had it
everyday for breakfast. While Diana was getting the cup for him Wyatt
asked, "When do you think Talon will be up?"

	"Talon usually wakes up about ten. I think he stays in bed for a
bit though so today I would say he'll be up within the hour."

	"Okay" Wyatt took another bite of his pancake barely fitting it
into his mouth.

	"Don't you think that's a little to much?" Wyatt shook his head and
continued chewing. "Well I'm going to put these in the oven to keep
warm. Can you tell anyone who waked up that they are there while I go up
and have a shower?"

	Wyatt nods as he swallows the food he had in his mouth. "Yes, of
course. Just one question." Diana waited for Wyatt's question before
heading upstairs, "What is there to do while I wait for Talon?"

	"You can watch Tv, a movie or anything you can find really."

	Wyatt got an idea and ran up stairs before he forgot it. When he
returned he found Diana still in the kitchen. Wyatt had a movie in his
hands, "I'll watch the 6th Harry Potter movie. I haven't watched it yet."

	"That sounds like a great idea. I'll see you when I'm done getting
ready." Wyatt finished his breakfast and rinse his dish. He made his way to
the living room and started up his movie.

	After about half an hour Talon came and joined Wyatt and watched
the movie. Mid way through Kenneth came down and asked the boys to get
ready to go up town. Both boys went up and started to get ready.

	It wasn't long before both boys were ready and out the
door. Kenneth and the boys spent the entire day shopping for Wyatt. He
ended up getting enough cloths for almost two weeks of clothing. Wyatt felt
like he spent more money than he should of but was greatly happy.

	Then came Wyatt's favorite and least favorite part. They went to
Future Shop to look at a laptop for him. He reluctantly picked out one of
the laptops that wasn't to cheep but wasn't to expensive. They also picked
up a one terabyte external hard drive. Wyatt was told it was a mandatory
part of the trip. Wyatt was convinced that they spent more money there than
all the cloths combined.

	When they got home Wyatt found Grandpa Nickolas and Caitlyn with
blue paint on their cloths. Wyatt rushed up to his room to find the each of
the four walls a different design. The wall with the door, which had the
most wall space had a spiral of blue and white. The wall with the bathroom
on the other side was completely blue. Meanwhile the opposite wall to the
door was completely white and the remaining wall was diagonal strips of
both colors.

	Wyatt didn't really know how to contain himself. He was jumping and
spinning and clapping. When Grandpa Nickolas came into the room he was
instantly hugged, "Thank you so much I love it!"

	"I'm glad. It didn't take us long so don't worry about it." Wyatt
glee was unable to be hidden from the elderly man. "Now show me what you
bought as you put them away."

	The next hour Wyatt did some showed and tell Grandpa Nickolas with
the help of Talon. They explained their entire day and the man just laughed
along with them. When he finally finished it was about Ten pm and both boys
were tired.

	"The room still smells a bit like paint. You should spend just one
more night in Talon's room and then tomorrow we can set up your room." The
boys agreed and got changed into their pjs.

	They went down stairs and said their good-nights and went back up
to bed. Talon though couldn't go to bed without a little in bed talk,
"Today was fun, wasn't it?"

	"Ya... I just think I made your parents spend to much money."

	"OUR parents. They aren't just mine anymore." Talon snuggled into
Wyatt a little bit. "Can you promise me one thing Wyatt?"

	"I can promise many things."

	"Promise me that if you ever find out who your biological parents
are, you'll stay with us."

	"That is one thing I know I can promise you, bro." Talon fell
asleep with happy thoughts on Wyatt's chest. Wyatt felt safe with Talon
snuggling up, he felt loved. Talon's question though made him think, could
he really keep such a promise when that time came?
