Baz moved so he had an arm wrapped around Cole's waist, the other wrapped around the boy. Jack looked from Cole to Baz, then back to Cole curiously.

"What's your name?" Baz asked him.

"Huh?" Jack asked, obviously not understanding him with his French accent.

"What's your name?" He asked again. And Jack looked at him puzzled. "Guess my accent isn't so hot with the children." Baz said with a smile.

Cole laughed softly, biting his lip when he realized he had. He smiled. "Guess not, but it's still attractive," He admitted sheepishly, then looked curiously back at the boy and repeated the question. "He wants to know your name.." He murmured in a hushed tone of voice. Cole used to be outgoing like his brothers. Nowadays one could never even guess it.

Baz kissed him gently, smiling all the while. "I'm glad you like it, then." He said with a smile.

"I Jack." Jack said, looking over at Baz. "Who you?"

"Sebastian." He said with a smile, wrinkling his nose playfully.

"Hub-as-tea-un?"

Baz snickered, nodding his head. "And that's Cole."

"Why you talk funny?" Jack asked, looking up at him. He reached up to scratch his face, and Baz gently held his hand down.

"You talk funny." He retorted.

"You talk'a haw-haw." Jack said, and Baz burst into laughter.

"I do what?" He asked, smiling over at Cole.

Cole snickered softly as he watched them, a smile lingering on his lips. He nestled closer to Sebastian, smiling up at him. "He talks funny cos he isn't from here," He explained in that same hushed voice, still playing with Baz's shirt.

Baz gently ran his hand up and down Cole's side, watching him for a second until Jack spoke up again.

"He no from here?" He asked, and Baz looked over, shaking his head.

"Nope."

"Where you come from?"

"France."

"Fr-aunce." Jack said, and Baz started laughing again, shaking his head.

"I don't know. I think he's got the French thing down. I got my work cut out for me, huh? He's gonna be stealing all the ladies and my boyfriend." Baz said, smiling over at Cole. He kissed him gently, hugging him tighter.

[cole manaj gryffon]

Cole only snickered, met the kiss softly and smiled back. "Maybe you do," He teased, kissed his cheek gently. "But I wouldn't leave my French boyfriend for nobody..." He blushed faitly again, not used to the word at all, and snuggled close. He yawned a bit, his hand tracing up beneath Baz's shirt.

"Oh?" He asked with a smile, gently running his hand up and down his side. He moved closer as Cole's hand slipped up his shirt, leaning down to kiss his neck before he laid back. Jack wiggled a bit, taking up the portion of Baz's chest that Cole's hand wasn't on. "Well, I don't think I'll give up my American boyfriend for anything. He's as perfect as anyone I've ever met." He said, felt Jack bury his face in his neck.

Cole smiled and met the kiss, watching Jack from where his own head was nestled again Baz's shoulder. He closed his eyes, tired. It was getting late and he yawned softly again, breaths deepending as he began to drift into a light, shallow sleep, hand falling to a rest on Sebastian's chest.

Baz continued to run his hand gently up and down Cole's side, his other arm wrapped tightly around the little boy. He closed his eyes, drawing one knee up as he shifted just a bit. He kept tracing his fingers over Cole's side until he fell asleep, and they fell to rest on his hip.

Cole stirred occasionally in his sleep. He never slept the best, but slept far better with somebody else in the room, and especially in somebody else's arms. He stretched some time in the mkrning, groaned as he realized he was supposed to be at school, and hadn't bothered contact his family.
