Puck laughed at how much Alex was enjoying himself. This was definitely a much smoother ride than it would have been with Bob.
"I must admit, Michél, you're much more...skillful at this than Bob," Puck laughed, holding Alex up in the air a little so that he could feel as though he were flying as well. Glancing back towards the window, he saw that Clopin had started to fly out as well.
"Oh, if your parents only knew what we were doing," Puck said quietly to Alexander, turning the boy so that he could see the one flying towards them.

"Merci beaucoup." Michél replied, as he trotted back to Clopin, who was flying over to them. "So, you've decided to join us, no?" Michél asked, smiling at the gypsy. Clopin nodded, and looked over to Puck.
"I take it that little Alex is liking it too. But his parents would be awfully surprised if they saw what we were doing." Clopin said with a laugh.

Puck laughed. "I imagine that they would. But, as they say, what they don't know, can't hurt them."
Alex, meanwhile, was apparently very surprised to see that his babysitter's friend was now flying in the air. Puck could only giggle at the toddler's reaction.
"Hey, guess what? I can do that, to, but at the moment I'm trying to keep you from falling off, so I won't," Puck teased, bouncing the boy around on his leg.
"I think he's enjoying himself," Puck smiled.

"Most definitely." Clopin said, drifting past Michél as he spoke. Alex looked dumbfounded by seeing him fly, but was quickly distracted again by Puck. Clopin laughed at how much the little toddler was enjoying himself.
"Well, I don't see why you can't fly with him. Just don't drop him!" Clopin said, gliding towards Puck and Alex.

Puck smirked, floating off of the unicorn's back. He hadn't wanted to seem rude to Michél, as the unicorn had suggested that they ride, but he doubted now that he would care much. Alex was especially surprised now that Puck was floating around, and clapped his hands gleefully as Puck zipped and turned through the air.
Slowing down, Puck flew back towards Clopin. "Well, this babysitting job has proved to be rather fun after all," he laughed, lifting Alex to sit up on his shoulder.

Michél smiled at the two flying boys and the toddler, as he flipped his ponytail. "Well, if you two don't need me anymore, I'm going to head back to France." the unicorn said, looking to both Puck and Clopin. Clopin gave the unicorn his nod of approval.
"You may go, mon ami, if you wish." Clopin said.
"Merci, mon ami." Michél said, before disappearing into the clouds high above them. Clopin then turned to Puck and Alexander.
"Shall we head back to the house?" he asked Puck.

Puck looked at Alexander, to see what he thought. He seemed to be ready to head back inside as well, and it was just a bit chilly, so it was probably best to go in.
Nodding, he took the boy down from his shoulder, hanging on tightly to him as he flew towards the window. Looking back, he waved Clopin over.

Clopin glided over, and landed a little past the window, inside of the house. He then turned to wait for Puck and Alexander, who was still holding on to his "uncle". Clopin couldn't help but smile and shake his head at the toddler. Little Alex was just too adorable beyond words.

Puck flew further in, carrying Alexander with him with a smile. It was good to see his little "student" again, and the toddler apparently thought so as well about Puck.
"What do you think that we should do now? I think that he might be a little tired after all that flying," Puck laughed. But then again, Alexander was still young, so there was no telling whether he was still running on energy or not.

"I don't know. Why don't we ask him?" Clopin asked, as he looked to the toddler. "Are you tired at all, Alex?" he asked. The toddler furiously nodded, and smiled as he yawned. "Tired..." he said softly, as he laid his head on Puck's shoulder.
"Well, there's your answer, Puck. We've got ourselves a little sleepyhead." Clopin said with a smile.

Puck smiled as Alexander laid his head against his shoulder, and he looked up to Clopin. "I suppose that we should get him to bed, then. Come on, his room's this way."
Supporting Alex with one arm, Puck took Clopin's hand in his own, leading him to a room with brightly colored wallpaper, along with a toddler bed and a number of other baby items. Placing Alexander in the bed, Puck tucked him in familiarly, tousling the little one's head once before he began to snore softly.
Standing up, Puck looked over to Clopin with a smile. "Well, that little flight wore him out much sooner than I expected it to."

Clopin followed Puck along to Alexander's bedroom, which was wonderfully decorated. He smiled as the other made the effort to hold his hand, and he loved every moment of it.
"I honestly thought he'd hold on a little longer as well. Who knew unicorns could suck so much energy out of a small, rambunctious child?" Clopin said, with a quiet laugh.

Puck smiled, glancing back down at the sleeping boy. It felt good to be here again, where he knew that at least one person appreciated him. Puck always felt a twinge of happiness whenever Alexander called him his 'uncle', and he felt much more strongly about this family than he did his own. Of course, Puck didn't realize that he was much more directly related to this family than he knew about, and Alexander's nickname for him wasn't entirely untrue...
Turning to Clopin, Puck smiled again, resting his head on the other's shoulder for a moment. "You know, as much as it makes me feel like Grell, I must admit that I love to watch him sleep."

Clopin floated up a little with happiness as Puck rested his head on his shoulder, and smiled. "Puck, I never knew you were such a creeper." Clopin said with a laugh, as he shook his head.
"No, I'm totally kidding, but he does indeed look adorable when he sleeps." Clopin said, as he wrapped his arms around the other.
"Just like you when I woke up this morning."

Puck blushed at that, wrapping his arms around Clopin as well. Smiling, he looked up at the other. "Now who's the creeper?" he laughed, touching his forehead to Clopin's. "But I appreciate the compliment, none the less."
Puck finally felt glad to be back in Manhattan. Not only did he get to spend his Christmas vacation with Clopin, he also got to be with a family that actually cared for him, unlike his actual family.
"I love you so much," Puck laughed, kissing Clopin on the lips happily. He was finally home.
