CH-3

After having a few short chats with his dad about his comic book, Liam got tired and readied himself for the night.

After taking a steamy hot shower and wearing his blue pajamas, Liam laid down on his bed. "This is the start of your dreams Liam" With a short prayer and some plan-making for his future, he immediately fell asleep after.

Jhon was still reading the comics, he was in bed occasionally laughing at the character's conversations.

Jhon loved the plot, he can vouch that his son is a genius.

Silvia who finished her bath came out of the bathroom and dried her hair using a dry towel, she looked at her husband who was laughing while reading their son's comics.

"Hon, what do you think of Liam being home-schooled?" Silvia asked she was still taken aback by Liam's decision.

"Hmm? Do you mean him being home-schooled? I don't have a problem with it. Well, you can already see it, right? Our son is talented, he created this thing he calls comic and even this story called the 'Guardians of the Galaxy he's talented hon, and mature. The last time you bathed him was when he was two years old, and I think he has talent in business hon." John said still stuck in his head was the conversation he had with Liam.

John had a lot of questions about why his son knew about those stuff in the business world, though Liam just vaguely told him that he had done the research. Jhon pretty much knows that there is more to this so-called research.

"Talent in business?" Silvia asked.

"Yeah well, he knows stuff that children his age don't know of, copyright, contracts, and tons of stuff in the business world hon. I don't know why but it makes me feel a little dumb no he sometimes makes me feel that he knew more of the business world than I do," John said to his wife who was looking at him curious about why he said that.

"Do you think he is going to be a great businessman? Well if you see him that way then maybe he does have talent in such aspects. But I'm not so sure hon, he is eight years old maybe I just want him to act like one?" Silvia always knew that Liam was mature but she also wants him to act more likely for his age.

Since Liam is her first child, she wanted to spoil him just like any mother would. Not the spoiling way in which her son would grow arrogant, but that typical stuff like asking for some pocket money, asking to buy some clothes, asking to go out with some friends. That stuff she wanted to give to Liam.

But Liam never asked for any of those, he never asks for some pocket money while other children his age would even beg and throw a tantrum if not given some money by their parents.

Liam also did not ask for other stuff, like games that other boys play, instead, he just asks for some stuff that he deems useful.

Liam was also not the type of child to go out often, Silvia always notice that her son prefers being at home rather than playing outside, which bothers her a lot.

"I just want to spoil him hon" Silvia said as she put down the towel her curly hair hanging loose.

"Then maybe let's have another one yeah?" Jhon gave a flirtatious smile to his wife.

Liam was in his room he was still wide awake, the walls were thin, and he just put his pillow above his head.

He could hear his parents talking about him earlier, he was touched by what his father had said about him, and he does feel kind of sad that his mother couldn't perform those motherly duties since he was unlike the other children.

Liam sighed and opened his drawer. 'Well they are still in their late 20s just let them have fun' Liam said in his thoughts as he took some earplugs and peacefully slept the whole night.

…

Morning soon came and Liam was already sitting on the table eating his cereal breakfast. He immediately got ready, his school was close to his house so every day he would just walk and stroll around the neighborhood.

Liam got up, packed his bags, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and immediately left the house.

"What time is it?" Silvia woke up and head downstairs, she looked at the small note on the table from Liam.

[I'm going to school now, I made some eggs for breakfast]

There was a small smiley face on the note, Silvia sat down and ate the food prepared by Liam.

She thought about the conversation she and Jhon had last night, she thought of having another child and this time she was expecting that maybe the second child would act more of his or her age, she wanted to spoil the child just like any mother would.

In school, Liam sat on his usual seat and started to draw, unlike his usual day when he was just sitting on his chair drawing, one of his classmates approached him.

The kid walked closer to his desk and watched what he was drawing with interest.

"What are you drawing?" the kid asked.

Liam took a glance and gave a small smile, "Guardians of the galaxy" Liam didn't bother explaining to the kid as he started to immerse himself again in his drawing.

The boy just kept looking at what Liam was doing, he knew who he was.

Liam Lockley was pretty famous in their classroom, he was handsome, smart, talented, and tons of girls had a crush on him.

"Are these some of your finished works? Can I read some of them?" The boy asked curious at the drawing that has these panels and bubbles where there were words in it.

Liam didn't see any problem with it. "Yeah sure but if you want to read them just sit beside me" The boy immediately took a chair and sat beside Liam and started to read what was on the paper.

...

When the bell rang, Liam took his drawings and put them inside his envelope, the boy also gave what he read back.

"Thanks" Liam took the paper from the boy and put it inside his bag, he looked at the little boy who was fidgeting his hands. "What is it?" Liam asked.

"Um, can we go home together?" The boy was shy especially since he is talking with Liam. The boy had fun reading what Liam created, and he wanted to read more of it.

"Hmm sure I don't have a problem with it lets go." Liam held his little suitcase where inside his envelope filled with his sketches and put on his bag, and they both walked outside of the school.

The boy kept asking Liam all kinds of questions like, how did he come up with the characters and why did he call the work he created Guardians of the Galaxy, Liam had a huge headache with the nonstop chattering.

As they reached an intersection the boy looked at Liam with a small smile.

Liam pretty much understood that kind of smile, it was the smile of a fanboy when he sees his favorite actor.

[You have received +20 fan points]

[You have received +10 fan points]

The boy with a slightly shy smile nervously said. "Um, tomorrow can I read your works again?"

Liam didn't mind though, and besides the boy was already giving him many fan points. The truth was Liam could have shown his works to his school and his classmates, but these children didn't even know how to take care of magazines and would cut them into tiny fucking pieces.

They were eight-year-old children they wouldn't understand even a tiny bit of what is in the content of his comics, some of them even had trouble reading.

But this guy wasn't like the other children, Liam was closely eyeing the kid when he was reading the comics, the child had this fan-boy gleam and it reminded him of him when he was young.

The boy was also careful with flipping the pages as if treating it as a majestic treasure and the kid even laughed when the characters in the story did something, so Liam understood that this boy understand his work.

"You can read them tomorrow, I forgot to introduce myself I'm Liam Lockley." Liam put his hand out waiting for a handshake.

Liam's not doing this because he wants to be friends with the kid, he was just glad to see someone else aside from his dad to appreciate his work.

"Oh, I'm Kevin Feige!" The boy shook Liam's hands, and after a few seconds, he felt that Liam's hand turned cold. "Umm, everything alright Liam? Uh, can I call you that?"

Liam looked at the boy, how could he not notice the boy, noticing the overall appearance of the boy Liam finally knew, this was Kevin Feige.

"Sorry I spaced out, It's a pleasure meeting you by the way, and I'll bring new comics tomorrow so you can read them" Liam delightfully said, this was 'the' Kevin Feige he was a huge fan of Kevin and his work in Marvel, and what's better is that they were both comic books enthusiasts.

"Really?! Thanks!" Just a few hours ago as he immersed himself in the story, Kevin was already craving for more!

The insane graphics and the plot intrigued him on another level!
