Five.

Attitude.

Chapter five.

VINCENT.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Vincent?" Zander said, giving me a worried look, "Zander?" I raised a brow. "Pick out 2 blankets." He ordered, I roll my eyes but I do as I'm told.

I then grabbed two. One grey one, with what I  think is Winnie the Pooh on. One plain white one with blue, yellow and green stars. I put them in the trolley and notice another one.

It was yellow with characters on and it was adorable.

I grabbed it and put it in the trolley quickly. They were all fluffy and adorable, ugh, I have amazing taste.

The grey one.

The white one.

The yellow one.

"Vincent. I said two, not three." Zander said beginning to pick up the yellow one. "Nooo, please! I want that one.." I pout and give him puppy eyes.

He chuckles and shakes his head and places it back in the trolley, "Alright."

Sebastian starts rambling on about random shit, until we get into the teethers section. I honestly forgot Sebastian was here until he spoke.

"Pick out 2." Zander nodded towards the shelf.

I picked out a dragon one and a keys one. They got added to the collection.

Dragon one.

The keys.

Zander praises me although, I'm not sure why. What did I do to get praised? There is no reason for it. What an odd person.

"I think that's all for this store." Zander thinks out loud, we go to the till and pay. We then make our way to a clothes shop.

We go in and buy a bunch of clothes, big and little.

(I would show you, but there's two reasons why I won't. One, I cannot be arsed. Two, you will probably see them at some point in the book).

We then go out, Sebastian turns on his Apple watch and shows Zander the time. "It's 12:15." Sebastian announces.

"We will go to the food court then." Zander responds and soon we're on our way.

Me and Zander find a seat at this pizza place, whilst Sebastian orders. I swing my legs back and forth as I get tired, bored and fuzzy. When I say fuzzy I mean my brain or my whole body feels fuzzy and light.

"What pizza do you want?" Zander asks, but I just look at him and then back to whatever it was staring at before.

"Vincent, what pizza would you like?" He repeats, "mmm..tiny one!" I giggle, wait what. I would never say that. Or giggle. My voice is softer and my brain and body is so light..it's freeing and weird..

Zander chuckles, "Oh? Tiny one, huh?" I nod and swing my legs more.

Sebastian comes back and sits next to Zander. After a while, our pizza's arrive.

Let's just say, I wasn't happy with mine.

When the cheese pizza was placed in front of me, a pout and a frown appeared on my face as I crossed my arms. "Baby, what's wrong?" Zander asks, "It's not tiny!" I cry as tears start streaming down my cheeks, Zander rushes over to to me and holds me close. "Oh, little one, don't cry..we couldn't get you a tiny one."

"B-Bu why!" I sniffle, "Because the tiny one is very busy and is on a little adventure." He coos, "Avenchure?" (Adventure)

I pout and let a small huff go past my lips. "Do you want one of your new paci's, bunny?" Zander asks and I giggle at the name.

"Mmhm." I nod and soon a Winnie the Pooh paci is placed between my lips. I suck on the new object placed in my mouth and feel myself forgetting about the whole situation with the pizza.

My eyes then widen and that fuzzy feeling goes away. What the fuck am I doing? I take out the paci and eat my pizza.

I'm not a baby..I'm not a little. I can't be. Don't be ridiculous. "Baby?" Zander calls and I raise a brow, only to realise I had zoned out. I then scrunched my nose up at the nickname, "Don't call me baby." I grumbled, "Of course." He smiled softly.

"Well, you slipped right out of little space quite quickly. I preferred you when you were little." Sebastian comments, "And I preferred it when you shut your fucking mouth." I snap and kick him under the table.

Let's say, I kicked him in a certain area.

"You fucker!" He whined and cupped his dick, bending over. "Vincent. No kicking." Zander warns. "Okay." I shrug.

I then stand up and slap him, right round the face. "What was that for!!" Sebastian groans, "For being a bitch. I don't care what version of me you prefer, i would prefer it if you would stop with the stupid comments, because i will hurt you more." I threatened, "Vincent." Zander said, with a warning in his voice.

"What. You said don't kick, you never said I couldn't slap." I said snapping my eyes to my caregiver, "Drop the attitude." Zander stood up making me step away from Sebastian. "Or what?" I dared, this made Zander raise a brow, "It's almost like you're asking for a punishment." Zander said taking a step towards me. "I'm not asking for a punishment, I just want him to stop with his stupid comments!" I cry, I suddenly feel myself pull against someone and I realise I've been pulled into a hug. A warm hug, that leaves me quite shocked. I haven't been hugged like this since the day my mum died..

I hesitated but soon hugged him back, "I-I'm sorry." I muttered, I felt a warm, tingly feeling on my forehead and noticed Zander kissed my forehead. "It's okay. Just don't hit.." he said lovingly. He then looked at Sebastian.

"And you. Stop with the comments, stop antagonising him." He said with a warning in his voice. "Yes, sir." Sebastian nodded.

I then walked to Sebastian and looked at my dirty shoes, "I'm sorry for calling you names and hitting you." I apologised and looked at him. "I'm sorry too." He smiled softly at me then hugged me. Only for me to push him away, "Don't hug me." I then walked back to where I was sat.

Sebastian rolled his eyes whilst Zander chuckled. "You let Zander hug you." Sebastian argued, "True. But that's because Zander is actually nice to me and I like him." I crossed my arms and went back to eating my food and drinking my chocolate milkshake.

I finished eating and drinking before anyone else and just sat there fiddling with Marley.

Then heard a soft female voice. I turned and saw a short woman with long wavy brown hair and a cute outfit standing there. Next to her was a taller woman with shorter blonde hair, in a cute yellow summer dress.

"Hello! I saw your cute teddy, what's his name?" The one with brown hair said and I raised a brow.

What the fuck. Who just comes up to someone and says shit like that. "Who the fuck comes up to someone and says that?" I raise a brow, I saw the girl pout and I rolled my eyes. "I-I just want to know his name.." she huffed.

"And I didn't want you to come over but here we are." I shrugged, I then looked to Zander and saw him giving me a stern look. "Be polite and nice." He said.

My caregiver then looked at the two woman, "I'm sorry for his behaviour. It's a work in progress." He said, "Is it?" I tilted my head.

"Oh. Uhm, well I'm Delilah!" The brown haired girl said, "Okay? And I didn't ask." I went back to holding Marley.

When I felt a small tug and saw a hand and I noticed the bitch was trying to take Marley. "Please get her off." Zander said politely, "Get off or I'll punch you." I warned and the girl glared at me and continued tugging. "I want him!"

I sighed and swung my fist, she was soon on the floor, in tears. The blonde lady crouched down beside her. "I gave you a warning. Oh and her name is Marley." I snapped.

"Okay! That's enough pizza for us!" Zander stood up quickly, Sebastian followed, a shocked expression on his face.

Zander placed a 100 dollar bill on the table and we soon left, after Zander apologised to the two woman and made me say sorry.

We made our way into a toy shop when Zander started bugging me.

"What happened to saying you won't hit anymore people?" Zander asked after we slowed down, "I thought the girl deserved it." Sebastian butted in, "I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it's the only time I actually like you. Thank you!" I nodded his way and he chuckled. "Sebastian, don't encourage it." Zander stated. I rolled my eyes and walked away from him.

"Don't walk away from me." He said and sped up to walk with me.

Sebastian was behind us, just quiet. He then called for Zander and my caregiver turned around. They soon began talking, well, after Zander told me not to walk off.

Of course, I didn't listen. In fact, I walked right out that shop.

I walked out the whole shopping centre. I decided to look around this place anyways. I had my phone on me.

I grabbed a cigarette out my pocket and began to smoke it. I heard a ringing come from my phone, I looked at the caller ID and saw 'Zander.'

I picked it up.

"Yooo" I said.

"Where are you!" I heard a panicked Zander.

"Somewhere in New York." I shrugged.

"Not a good answer, you don't know your way around here. You could get lost."

"Eh, oh well." I continue walking.

"I'm not even that far from the shopping place." I then say.

"Just stay where you are. Me and Sebastian are coming to get you."

I roll my eyes and continue walking, turning onto a street, which is empty. Finally, a street with nobody on. What did I expect? This is New York.

I heard a car park up and a door slam and suddenly Zander was standing right in front of me. "Oh, you found me! Your turn to hide, my turn to seek." I smiled, he didn't look amused one bit. He looked worried, upset and a bit disappointed.

"Why did you walk off." He asked, I think. It didn't sound like a question at all. "Mm, I don't know. I didn't want to be in there anymore, it was warm and loud, I also didn't want to listen to you bug me about hitting that girl." I answered honestly.

Zander sighed and held my hand, "Do you want to go back and pick out some toys, or wanna go to a different place." My caregiver asked, I shrugged. "Go back."

I did want toys, I just got bored of being in there.

The car was silent. There was no radio music and you couldn't even hear our breathing.

"I'm sorry for running off, it was stupid and I shouldn't have done it."

I saw Zander look at me through the rear view mirror, a slightly shocked but proud expression on his face. Sebastian just looked at me with shock.

"It's okay, Vincent. All is forgiven." Zander smiled and I smiled back.

And we were soon back at the shops, grabbing anything I looked at for a second longer.

Not long later, we were back in the car and leaving the shopping centre. Or mall as these two call it.
