Kara
Kara was pretty sure he was being delusional. The cane to the head was definitely messing with him. He wasn’t in love. At least that’s what he keeps telling himself. Sure his voice was soothing. Kara adored how it sounded. His voice was soft and sweet like honey. He didn’t talk much but in the few words he said Kara was already obsessed. He could listen to Josiah’s voice for hours. His voice was one thing but he also couldn't stop himself from staring at him. All of him is just so gorgeous. There aren't any flaws that he could see. His eyes, his hair, his skin. His hair looked so fluffy and Kara was sure that it felt like cotton. His skin was smooth and always seemed to be glowing. And then his eyes. They look like they were from another dimension. His eyes were grey and they looked like beautiful pools of melted silver.
“Is something on your mind Kara?” Inej said disrupting his thoughts
“Hm? Oh nothing mom.” Kara responded, his voice clearly distracted.
“You sure Kara? If something is bothering you can tell me.” Inej said
‘His beauty is insulting to me. How could someone be that pretty?’ Kara thought
“Nothings bothering me mom.” Kara said.
“Are you sure kara? You seem kinda Distracted today,”
“I’m sure mom.”
“He’s in love isn’t that obvious?” Luna said rudely disrupting him
“Love huh?” Inej asked giving her son a smile
“I’m not in love, mom. And stop barging in on my training Luna!” Kara said
“It’s Pekka’s son isn’t it?” Inej guessed shooing luna from the room and closing the door.
“I don’t like anyone mom.” Kara insisted
“It’s alright Kara you can tell me. I won’t tell your father and it can stay between the two of us.”
“I don’t like anyone.”
“He’s a very handsome boy Kara.”
“I don’t like him!” Kara snapped
Inej sighed “Ah yes. Young love. You know I was once in denial about your father.”
“I don’t want to hear about your love life.” Kara clearly seeming done with this conversation
“So you don’t wanna hear about your fathers idiocy and embarrassing moments?” Inej asked
“Maybe I do.” kara said
“I’ll tell you that if you admit you have a crush on Josiah. It’s nothing to be ashamed of Kara. Sure your father would be a bit upset but it won’t be because you're in love with a man and it would be more about the fact that it's Pekka Rollings’s son. You know how your father feels about him.” His mother explained
“Oh so even if I did like him I’m expected to shove those feelings away just because Dad would be upset?” Kara snapped
“You wouldn’t have to shove those feelings away Kara.”
“You just said dad wouldn’t like it! Knowing him he’d probably go ballistic!”
“He probably won’t go ballistic Kara he just won’t be very happy. He’s going to have to deal with it however. You won’t have to hide your feelings.” Inej explained
“What am I gonna have to deal with?” Kaz called through the door
“What do you mean honey?” Inej asked her husband
“What are the two of you talking about?” He asked opening the door
“Kara just asked if he can get an animal because you usually said no and said he wasn’t getting a pet and that was final.”
“Mhm. And why did you mention the Rollings kid?”
“He has a name you know, Kaz. And I mentioned his name because they saw a dog with it’s owner earlier but the dog seemed to look terrified and didn’t want to be around him.”
‘Since when was mom such a good liar?’ Kara thought. If he hadn’t been here this whole time he would have relieved her saying that. Her words spoke fluently leaving no room for errors.
“I see. Why do you want a pet so bad Kara? You do realize if you get one you're going to have to take care of it right?”
“I know I do dad, and you won’t end up taking care of it like you did with my hamster when I was younger.”
“Are you sure I won’t?” Kaz asked, seeming to be considering agreeing.
“I promise I won’t. I’m not a little kid anymore dad I can handle an animal,” Kara stated before grinning and adding “I can teach it how to steal or even kill.”
Inej let out a sigh of seemingly disappointment but she was grinning.
“Oh yes Kaz this is certainly your son.” She sighed
“Hmm teaching an animal to steal and kill does seem interesting. And teaching it to kill would be a nice touch.” Kaz murmured
“Hun you can’t seriously be considering it because of that.”
“Alright you can get an animal. But it can’t be too big so don’t try to get a bear like you did three years ago.”
“I thought Harvey was a great bear.” Kara huffed
“He tried to eat your sister.” Inej pointed out
“A great bear.” Kara insisted
“Yeah you're definitely my son alright.” Kaz said, rolling his eyes with a small smile.
From the open door Kara saw Josiah walking past, glancing over at him. Those damn eyes locked with his for a split moment, shimmering in the dim lighting. As quickly as they’re eyes met Josiah averted his gaze and looked forward, hurriedly making his way down the hall.
“I bet you he’s going to try to get another bear.” Inej said, pulling him out of his thoughts.
“Kara you better not. You're chaotic enough as it is without a bear.”
“Aw. But what if I find a baby one that has no momma nearby? Then can I keep it?” Kara asked
“Fine.” Kaz said giving in.
“Yay!” Kara said running around the room, he still however had his gun in his hand and accidentally nearly shot his parents
“Sorry I didn't mean to shoot.” Kara said setting his gun down
Both of his parents sighed in exasperation at their son.
Kara turned towards Inej and asked “Mom can I go now?”
“Yes but no going outside.”
“Aw your no fun.” Kara said walking away sadly.
“I blame this on you.” Inej said to Kaz, glancing at him.
“You're the one who said it.” Kaz pointed out
“Still somehow it’s your fault.”
Kaz rolled his eyes then kissed Inej and walked away
