When Kang Lei arose on from bed early Monday morning, excitement coursed through his body. Though the weather outside was gloomy, in kang Lei's heart it was bright, and he couldn't wait to get to work.
For the past hour, he has been trying to get himself and BoJing dressed, in the process changing his clothes for the tenth time.
"Daddy... for the last time stop worrying you look fine" BoJing moaned impatiently.
His father had now styled his hair and changed his clothes a good five times, and to him, it all looked the same.
BoJing shook his head looking at his use to be father, gone were the days when his father would wear bangs and didn't care what he wore. Now he has to put up with his father asking him twenty times the same question, "BoJing are you sure daddy looks okay" Kang Lei asked anxiously looking in the mirror.
BoJing laughed it was truly remarkable seeing his father react in such a way, ever since departing from Mr Lanxian, his father had been singing and his moods been very cheerful, to the extent where Grandpa Chong truly though he had gone mad.
"Why do you laugh, BoBo?" Kang Lei asked suddenly, stopping his actions, "daddy looks funny right.... awww, I am going to have to start again" he looked worryingly into the mirror again
"Daddy it's just nice seeing you this happy" BoJing replied with a sincere smile, if his guess was correct, his dad was in love.
Kang Lei smiled bright, he stopped playing with his hair and went to sit by BoJing, "daddy is happy, soon I will be able to take you out from that school, and you can go to the special school the teachers are always talking about. You know, the ones you never told me about. But if I do a good job and work hard, things will start getting better for us, so why wouldn't I be happy" Kang Lei beamed, pinching BoJing's cheeks.
BoJing wasn't convinced, he saw how his father reacted and behaved with Mr Lanxian, he was sure his daddy liked him. BoJing had a mission and that was to get himself another daddy, and that other daddy will be Mr Lanxian.
"Okay daddy" he answered unconvinced, rubbing his now sore cheeks.

Dominic, on the other hand, has had Dr. Cheng with him the entire weekend, since finding out that there were videos of him circulating and the possibility of the government in the hunt for him, the overload of stress had caused his migraines to magnify.
Dominic had locked himself in an underground room with Dr. Cheng, they aim to train him how to control his new-found abilities. However, with his testosterone levels increased, and the severe pain throbbing in his head, he had been finding the process unmanageable. With his body still trying to adjust to the Alpha X gene, and his abilities multiplying, he needed to find a way to manage his pain, before he truly hurt someone close to him.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE!" Dominic roared he was at the point of breaking, he threw a chair across the room, smashing it into pieces. By now Dominic's body had increased exponentially in size, his eyes would change colour primarily determined by Dominic's emotions. If angered his eyes would become frightening red, yellow if he were annoyed and hazel brown was his normal temperament. Due to this, doctor Cheng began referring to him as me 'traffic light'.
Getting his abilities under control was paramount because, eventually, he may need them to protect the people he loved most.
"Dominic.... maybe we should try getting you someone to help you... what do you think... or you know... the other thing we discussed" Dr. Cheng tried suggesting is earlier options to Dominic, he understood and respected Dominic's choices, but he could stand seeing the young man in such continuous pain.
"NO! You all think this is nothing, but me for me, it's more that just being with anyone, it's the one thing I have waited patiently for... but no.... but now you all talk to me like it's insignificant.... not to me... not me" Dominic's voice was almost breaking he was on the verge of tears, he placed both hands on his head and screamed in frustration.
It was easy for others to look at the situation with narrowed eyes, a society in which everyone freely gives themselves to each other and often didn't care for the other can easily judge and snicker. But for Dominic, his body was precious and not to be used or given to just anyone, what others did was their objective, he had different morals, and getting injected with that damn serum sure wasn't going to change that.
