Silas grabbing his keys on the hanger near his\njacket and handed Karla her own. It was the middle of fall so it was chilly. He\nputs on his coat and helps Karla with her own as she always had trouble. He\nsmiled and then makes sure his coat was on properly in the mirror, he even examining\nhimself a bit too. He still had his athletic build like he did when he was\neighteen, so he smiled about that, he barely looked like he aged besides fill\nout a bit with muscle. \n            He shook his head though as he sometimes\ndaydreamed of events before. However now it seemed he changed completely. His\nlife wasn't the best, but he had bits that made it worth it. Well..one bit\nanyways. \n            He looked at Karla who was adjusting\nher shirt under her jacket, he just smiled before opening the door for the 6\nyear old to leap onto the porch. Silas following as close behind her as he\nclosed and locked the door. The screen door slamming shut behind them as the\ntwo went to the 1967 Chevy Impala. Sleek and black like he always wanted. He\nalways wanted one since he saw it on his favorite show, Supernatural, and got\nit from his father when he proposed to Tanya.\n            \"This isn't child friendly Dad~\"\nKarla said as she went to the back seat. Silas giving her a playful glare while\nshe leapt into the car. She snickers as Silas gets in as well. \"And what do you\nknow about it lil sassy pants?\" He playfully toyed with her.\n            \"Ermm....u-uh..I just..heard some\nteachers say it is all..\" She mumbles before Silas snickers. \"Well...they're\nright, but I wouldn't ever put you in danger.\" He chuckles and looks back\nthrough the rear mirror and smiles before turning the engine on. Roaring to\nlife, the two buckled up and they were on the road in no time.\n            Karla flicked her heavy tail about\nnext to her, she stared at it and then over the dash to Sila's as he drove through\nthe suburbs. His tail was much more scaled and less sleek as her own. \"Hey\ndaddy, why is your tail so much...sharper looking?\" She mumbles as she looked at\nhim as he concentrated on the road.\n            \"Well..it's because you have your\nmom's genes. So you look like her too.\" He states as he stopped at a light, a\nfew more blocks would be the school.\n            \"Her jeans? But I can't fit her\njeans.\" She states as Silas realized his mistake and only laughs a bit. \"Well..let\nme say you just have her looks as well as mine.\" Silas states with a smile\nagain and sees the light turn green, he drives down the street getting closer\nto the school.\n            \"But I wanna look like daddy more..\"\nShe mumbles softly as Silas soon sees the school and pulls into the parking lot.\n\n            \"What's wrong with looking like your\nmom hun?\" He looks back at her as he turns the car off.\n            \"N-nothing..just..hm..\" She goes\nquiet before looking up with a small smile. \"You just look cooler.\" She states\nsimply with a smile on her lips. Silas stared at her for a few moments before\nnodding his head and smiling as he stepped out of the car with his daughter.\nHeading to the office, who then directed them to the room that his daughter was\nin, the two ventured to the room. Opening the door, Silas got to see the man\nthat made him feel as butterflies took over his stomach.\n            Mr.\nSnow\n             The very name made him shiver as\nit felt as if his name carried more than just a title. The kindergarten class\nwere in their stations, even he had a personal assistant in the class, a female\ncougar and also very good with the children. Mr. Snow looked up to see who\nentered the room and noticed the duo.\n            \"Oh hey Karla, I was wondering if\nyou were coming in today, I'm glad you did. I was saving your spot in the\ncenter too.\" He states with a smile as Karla gave her dad a quick hug and\nbounds off into the room. Mr. Snow smiled and then looks at Silas with a\nsimilar smile, if not more bright, at least that's what Silas wanted to think.\n            \"Oh, before you go Mr. Wynne, I would\nlove to talk to you before you go. Unless you're in a rush?\"\n            I'd be late..but fuck it.\n            \"No, I have time.\"\n            He states simply and smiles at\nthe human as he came out of the classroom, looking in before closing the door\nand smiles at the Drake once again.  The\nhuman just gives a gentle sigh as I could have guessed a bunch of 5-6 year olds\ncan be a handful. He just then chuckles after his breath of air. This giving\nSilas to give a quick look over of the human. He being a bit more slender, but\nclose to average built. Black hair which was a bit messy yet gave a handsome\naura to him as well. Green tinted eyes which were behind wired glasses. A light\nfreckled face as well over his nose, which worked well with his light\ncomplexion. \n            \"So I just wanted to talk about\nKarla of course with you Mr. Wynne.\" \n            \"Call me Silas, not much for titles.\"\nHe states a bit smoothly, his gruff voice making it all the more appealing. He didn't\nwant to flirt with the teacher, but dammit he loved to talk to him.\n            \"Oh..okay...Silas. I just wanted to\nlet you know that your daughter has an amazing time at reading and writing.\nOnly thing she may have to worry about is math, she does alright in it but I'm\nworking with her to get better. However like I said, her writing and reading\nassignments are out of the park.\"\n            Mr. Snow states pretty enthusiastically\nand even gives a little laugh. Silas just chuckles as well and leans on the\ndoor a bit to look at the man. He just looks at Silas, and Silas could swear he\ngave him a once over but he wasn't sure completely that his mind was playing\ntricks on him. \n            \"I'm guessing you and Mrs. Wynne\nwork really well with her on her writing and reading?\"\n            \"We-...I do yes, we read a bed time\nstory every night, if so I make her read me one sometimes.\" He says back, but\nMr. Snow looked at him confused a bit.\n            \"Only you do? I would think Mrs.\nWynne would assist..\" He notices Silas's scales flex a bit as the human\nstammered a bit. \"S-sorry, I don't mean to offend you Silas, I shouldn't have.\"\n\n            Silas stood up straight and waved it\noff. \"Nono, you're fine. I'll just say that Mrs. Wynne hasn't been around much I\nguess.\" He said simply while looking away as if ashamed by the information.\n            \"I see..well I may spend most of my\ntime with children now, I'm more than happy to talk if you need it. Since I started\nlast year, it would be nice to talk to someone outside work and such besides\ntalking to them ABOUT work.\" He gives a big smile and Silas can't help but\nreturn one as it was a pleasure to see such a smile. Well looks like today is a good day after all.\n            \"I mean, I've seen you at the\nmeetings and simple things like that, you are a really good father. Heck, even\njumping outside of school and landing a teaching job so quickly into this...well I\njust don't have many friends around so..\" He began to ramble, it was a bit cute\nto Silas as he just chuckles and pats the human's shoulder. \n            \"I'd love to talk and hang out Mr.\nSnow. Be nice to have a friend as well, family life makes it hard for that to\nhappen.\" He states simply and grins at him as the human stares before smiling\nagain. \n            \"Heh..good. Ah! I should really get\nback to the kids, sorry!\" He opens the door but stops and looks at the Drake\nwho was in mid turn to walk down the hall. \"Oh, and Silas? Call me Ryon, I don't\nlike titles.\" He smirks at the drake who only smiled back before he went into\nthe classroom full of children. \n            Silas walked out of the school.\nKeeping his cool as best he could until he got into his car, then jolting about\njoyously like a fat kid getting cake. He had a huge grin on his face that made\nhim just feel like he could fly.\n            We're\nfriends, oh dammit what an amazing day so far! Sooo damn excited for our\nfriendship!\n            He thinks with a big grin on his face\nas he turned the car on. He just backs it up out of the parking lot and drives\ndown the road. His thought began to wander which soon landed about his wife. He\nhasn't ever cheated on her, and he probably won't. But this is the closest he\ncan get to what he thinks is love. His daughter brings his joy and Ryon brings\nhis happiness. Intimacy or not, it makes him happy that the man will be around\nhim. \n            As he thought about it, he was\ntempted to go home to see if Tanya got home well enough from wherever she was.\nHe shook his head however and headed to work as he was already late and will\ncall her on his break. Soon arriving at a factory where they build Toyota cars.\nHe parks his vehicle close to the gate and buzz's himself in before heading off\nto work.\n~*~\nSilas drills the sides of the car and puts the bolts into the\nside as he stood on the line. He then buzzes the seats into place and steps\nback to prepare for the next when the bell finally rang for lunch. He wasn't a\nbig fan of his job, but somehow he made it so his hours were flexible. Best he\ncould do with good money being made for himself and his family. \nHe walked off to the lunch area that had a patio, which he\nsoon stepped out onto. His mind has been circling about his wife, how Karla is\ndoing, and a big part of it about Ryon Snow. He totally forgot to get his\nnumber so they could talk, however he could try and get it when he picks up\nKarla.\nHowever as of right then, he pulled his phone out and seeing\nhe had no messages, he needed to call Tanya. He sighs and dialed her up real\nquick. The ringing blaring in his ear as he waited till finally something\nstopped the ringing. A mumble was heard and a groan. Shifting of sheets as\nwell.\n\"mm..eh..hello?\" A tired sounding woman said on the phone.\nSilas sighed and rubbed his muzzle gently and sighed. \"Tanya, where were you\nthis morning?\"\n\"Ohh..hey Silas, eh..I passed out it..I guess..don't worry. I'm\nhome now.\" She said simply and mumbles out a bit something. \"You know Karla\nbarely ever sees you. You need to stop this shit.\" \n\"Oh shut it, not like we don't like the same thing. You gotta\nunderstand that.\" Silas heard that and shivered at that. \"Really? Dragging that\nout already Tanya? Listen..we'll talk when I get home and before I go pick up\nKarla. Don't leave and don't do some more stupid shit.\" He states aggressively\nbefore a growl was heard over the phone. \n\"You ain't the boss here fag boy! Go suck some dick and\nloosen up!\" He nearly threw his phone, however he just hung up on here and\ngrowled before slamming the door to the cafeteria open. \nWhy did I even bother telling her\nabout that. Least I don't sleep around, even if I don't get what I want or need\nin bed. FUCK!\nHe mentally screams in his head as he walks to the line once\nagain. Even though lunch wasn't over, he sat by the machine and just thought\nabout what actually made him happy. \n~*~\n            Silas heard the last bell go off, he\nhad overtime however it wasn't too bad and he could go home and talk to Tanya.\nHe sighs as he puts his goggles off his head and walks out the door as he feels\nhis phone vibrate. Looking to see it's a text.\n            Hey\nSilas, it's Ryon. So Karla gave me your number so we can keep in contact about\ngrades and such. (And friendship!) J  So if you need anything, let me\nknow!\n            Silas read the message and just\ngrinned at it. It was sweet, but there was something he needed. He texted back:\n            Yeah\nthere is something I could really need help with, could you watch Karla for an\nhour there? I know I'm asking a lot, but you are her teacher...who else can I trust\nbesides my own mom? Haha. Pretty please?\n            Adding to the will seem like a bit of\nweird quirky text he sent, he sent that one with a smile. Soon his phone buzzed\nagain.\n            Sure!\nNo problem, I'll let her play in the playground as I go over my planner. See\nyou soon! \n            The happy go lucky attitude he felt\ngo through the texts made this seem a bit easier as he got into his car and\ndrove down the street till he got home. Getting out of his car, he walked to the\ndoor with the weight returning to his shoulders as he opened the door. The\nscent of the house was the same and everything seemed to be in order. What was\nsitting on the couch was the only thing different. Still a bit slender and\npretty much the same looks. Tanya sat and watched TV as she ate a TV dinner.\nSilas stood at her side, who then looked up at the large male.\n            \"Welcome home.\" Was all she uttered\nbefore Silas sat down next to her.\n            \"We obviously need to talk. This\ndrinking thing has to stop, you sleeping around..has to stop. Karla is getting\nold enough now to see that her mom isn't worth much here right now.\" Silas\nstates bluntly. He stopped being nice\nto her about this after she called him a fag the 1st time.\n            \"Why should I? I never get anything.\nNever had time for myself or anything like that.\" She said as she keeps\nwatching TV.\n            \"Because you are a mom, you don't\nget that fun shit anymore. You get to be a parent or you get to be nothing. I\ndon't care what my dad will say, I won't let you ruin this family.\"\n            \"What family? You and Karla? Not\nlike you get me what I want, plus you didn't even want this! You wanted to have\na life with a guy and nothing to do with a child!\"\nShe nearly\nyells as she pushed her tray away ad stood up and glared at Silas who also\nstood up. Silas just growled lowly. \"Yet here I am, taking care of her while\nyou go out and fucking party. Least I grew the fuck up, I don't go around\nsleeping with a guy every night and shit. I lost my life for this one, only reason\nI haven't gave up on it is because of Karla. You on the other hand don't give\ntwo shits about your family. Even if my father, the proud traditionalist bought\nme a yacht to have me say that all you do can be forgiven, I'd say 'fuck you\ndad and fuck you Tanya!' Because I am tired of this shit with you!\" He growled\nat her and just stared each other down. \n\"Just.\nFucking. Stop.\" Silas states as Tanya just shakes her head a bit and goes to the\nkitchen. \"Fine, we'll see huh? I won't go out as much and I'll try because as\nmuch as you say I don't, I do give a shit about Karla. So don't try throwing me\nunder no damn bus saying I don't love my kid.\"\n            She states as he shaking continued\nbefore Silas looked out the window and over to the keys. \"I need to pick up\nKarla. You going to be here?\" He asked her as she only nodded her head and sat\nback down. \n            Silas just walks out and pulls out\nhis phone. Dialing up a number he's been calling often lately. Ringing and\nringing till an older female voice was heard over the phone. \n            \"Hello?\" \n            \"Hey mom.\" Silas said as he unlocks\nhis door and gets in the car again. He sighs and turns the ignition on. \"Hey\nsweetie, you okay?\" He mentally nodded. \"Yeah, just some more shit about Tanya.\nEver since she figured I was..\" He stopped for a moment. \"Yes, because your gay\nson. Don't be so bashful about it.\" He blushed as it was awkward about it with\nhis parents. His mom accepted it at least.\n            \"Yeah, well today she didn't even\ncome home last night. So that was wonderful to explain to Karla. Just got into\nanother argument. Still going on, but she did say she will try. Kept pretending\nlike I actually do shit with other people like she does.\"\n            \"Do you hun?\" His mom asks simply. \"Nono,\nnot at all, she'd smell it on me and so would you. The only thing is..\" He\nmumbles as he contemplated telling her about Ryon. \n            \"What sweetie?\" Silas stopped\nhimself and just shakes his head as he pulled out. \"Nothing mom, just thinking\nif I will ever get out of this mess I created.\" He mumbles softly. \"I mean, I'll\nkeep Karla as my daughter forever..but Tanya changed for the worst. I can't let\nher ridicule me for my likes..\" \n            \"Well...honey, does Karla know that\nyou like boys?\" Silas turns a bright red and thinks if he ever told her. \"I..I\ndon't know, I would think she'd be too young to understand since I am\ntechnically still with her mother.\" \nEven if it seems like we're both\ngiving up.\n            Thoughts still running through his\nmind as he drove down the road. The cloudy day seeming like it will never\nclear. \"Well..maybe she needs to know a little on why her parents are always at\neachother's throats hun. Maybe this weekend I'll take her of your hands for a\nwhile, your father is out on a business trip so it would be nice to have\ncompany!\" She states in a happier tone.\n            The idea did sound nice, maybe just\ntry and get this bad blood out of each other with Tanya and maybe spend time\nwith Ryon. Yeah...\n            \"Sounds perfect mom. So I'll drop\nher off tomorrow then?\" Silas stated in a bit of a happier tone. \"Sounds like a\nplan sweetie. See you tomorrow.\" Silas smiles as he hung up the phone and\ndrives down the road. Soon drifts of snow drifted over the windshield. Seems\nwinter is coming early this year.\n"}
