Summer was over.
It was over about a week after Red and Black's first date.
Red's son had to go stay with his other dad.
Wouldn't you like to know how this plays out?
~~~
There was a knock at the door. Red knew who it was. His ex had come to pick up their child. The only problem was- his son was an alien and it wouldn't take long to notice. There were two possible outcomes to this situation; he could give his son to his Ex without trouble but that would result in him finding out eventually, possibly killing or abandoning their son, and probably taking him taking Red to court, a place where Red would surely get sentenced to jail or he could refuse to give his Ex his son and get taken to court and probably to jail too.
Red had no time to go over his options. His Ex was already there.
Opening up the door revealed a 6'2 man with short blond hair. "Hey Red" he said. This man had once meant the world to Red- that is, until he found out he had cheated on him...multiple times. The only reason he didn't notice at first was because his past lover would get off work early to cheat on some days.
"Michael..." Red muttered.
"Look, I-...can you take me back? I'm a really nice guy y'know and I made a mistake-"
"Multiple mistakes, if that's what you want to call it and no, I'm not taking you back."
"But Red- you don't know what you're missing-"
"You came here for one reason and that's to pick up our kid."
Black had been listening in on their conversation. He didn't like what he was hearing, after all, Red was his.
It seemed like this "Michael" guy was flirting with Red. Black wouldn't let that slide. He crept up to the front door and hugged his lover from behind. "Do we...have a problem here?" Black asked menacingly and yet innocently at the same time.
Michael was surprised. He didn't know Red lived with someone. And the way he hugged Red from behind made it seem like they were..."Oh, Red, is this your boyfriend? I didn't know you moved on already..."
"Mhm, now that you know, I trust you won't try flirting with Red again." Black stated, smiling sweetly. "Yeah...you can trust me, definitely." Michael answered. Black frowned, and then sighed. "You came here to pick up your son, correct?" He asked, already knowing the answer to that question. "Yes, now where is he?"
"He's not here right now."
"Why-"
"But I think we can solve one problem with another."
"Oh boy" Red mumbled. He knew where this was going.
Black had shapeshifted into his alien form and had eaten the top half of Michael's body within the blink of an eye.
"...Solve one problem with another, huh?"
"Yep!"
"Lets get rid of the body before anyone passes by and sees."

"So, can I sleep with you tonight? I mean, it feels pretty weird being your boyfriend and having to sleep on the couch. Also, I did save your ass today."
Red let out an amused sigh. He smiled and answered "Fine, fine. Come on"
