Pictures of You

Cade grinned back at him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and hugging his son lightly.
"Hey baby... You alright?"
He had seen Cove talking to him and to be honest, he didn't trust anyone around his son.

"Im K." He nodded his head lightly, his eyes moving back over to find the pretty boy he had been clicking pictures of all afternoon.

"What were you tlaking about with him?" Cade asked tentatively, nodding towards Cove.

"Oh...He c'me ov'r an' tl'd me not to t'ke 'nymore pc'tures..." He blushed hotly as he thought about it, he had been so embarrassed as the other boy barked at him to stop with the weird staring and picture taking.

"Aw, baby you can take as many pictures as you want." Cade smiled softly. "You... like him?"

Leon shook his head lightly at his father, glancing back at Cove with a small sigh.
"He d'nt want me to." The boy paused before looking back at his father, smiling.
"I th'nk hes pretty."

"I think you're pretty." Cade smiled, kissing his son's temple, wishing Cove did not have to be such an ass.

Leon scrunched his nose up, bringing a hand to press against his cheek shyly.
"No..." He didnt think he himself was pretty, but he knew Cove was.

"Mhm. You're pretty just like your momma..." Cade grinned. He was constantly watching Leon, just making sure he was safe.

Leon couldnt help but smile at his father, he thought he momma was very pretty too, but not his grandma, Angel had too many scars. The boy took Cade's hand, holding it tightly.
"M'mma is pretty..."

"Yupp, he sure is. Who else do you think is pretty?" Cade asked lightly. He just enjoyed talking to his baby boy.

"C've , Juneb'g, Zac....ri'k...." He named off a few people he thought was very pretty for different reasons to his father innocently.

"They are all pretty..." Cade agreed, stroking his son's soft hair, holding him close.

Leon leaned back into his father, looking around at everyone in the home and inspecting them all.
"I think....Gra'pa Dus'in is pretty." He loved the mans curled black hair.

"Oh yeah? I think Gabriel is pretty." He nodded to the small, sickly boy on the other side of the room. Kelton was the only really gorgeous one to him but he figured he'd play along with his son.

"....He l'ks dead." Leon crinkle his nose up as he looked at the other man, and he was right, Gabriel was very sick and he was getting down, soon to die once more. The man knew he looked bad, thats why when he saw the boy's nose scrunching up at him he understood but it still made his heart sting.

"Pretty soon..." Cade nodded in agreement, a deep frown on his face. He hated that... He wasn't that close to Gabriel but the boy was his aunt.

Leon cocked his head to the side, he didnt understand Gabriel and his disease. All he knew was that his grandpa Gabriel really loved the other man.

"He's... sick, sweetheart." Cade sighed, running his fingers through Leon's dark hair.

Leon glanced back at Gabriel, a small smile on his face.
" oh, we'll th'ts okay, no one is pretty when they're si'k

Cade chuckled at his son.
"Yeah, he's really pretty when he's not sick." He nodded.

Leon nodded but he had seen Gabriel when the man was healthy. He had been breath taking, which is why Leon didnt know why Jasey looked so trashy compared to his mother.

All the time, Cove had been curiously watching Leon. Cade noticed this now and didn't like it at all. Cove was... not good enough for his baby. He wasn't stuck up or anything but Cove was violent like his father. No way in hell his Leon was going to end up with someone like that...

Leon though was oblivious, but he did glance back at Cove and give him a large welcoming smile. A sweet one, pure like that boy.
Cade was going to have a hard time keeping Leon away from Cove if Cove allowed Leon to even be his friend.

Cove winked at the boy. He always did enjoy unique things. And Leon was certainly unique...
His gaze quickly drifted away from Leon to watch Jasey and Shannon's asses as they walked past him.
Nothing could hold his interest for too long.
