The Story of Ivander

The Story of Ivander

Katze dashed through the halls of the penthouse in search for Riki. He had to find him NOW before it was too late. "Riki!!! Riki where are you?!"

The mongrel poked his head out of his room. "What's up? What's got your in such a rush?"

"Come quick! No time!" he gasped, snatching the mongrel out of the room and taking him out the penthouse. They dashed down to the pavilion and he pushed Riki inside a small molt shop. "Look!" he said, gasping for air. Riki looked to the man that Katze pointed to and his eyes widened. "What the fuck?!"

The man gasped and looked up, right into Riki's dark eyes. "Pardon me?"

"Who the fuck are you?!"

"Excuse me?! That's none of your business, I'm afraid."

"Don't sass me, you little punk! I don't like it when people, especially you hypocritical Blondies, taking my look from me! Who are you?!"

"Taking your look? Please! I'm older than you, it looks. You're the one taking on my appearance."

"Bullshit! How old are you?! I'm 21!"

"23. I'm older." the man smirked. "Now, I would like to get back to my molt in peace. Leave me alone." With that, he turned and ignored Riki's bellows.

But the mongrel was not having it. This man looked too much like him. He turned to Katze. "Who is this asshat?"

Katze shrugged. "I don't know. I bumped into him and when I saw him.... I freaked. He looks like you, but a Blondie. Not to mention he's got one blue eye and one brown one. It's like he's half you and half Blondie...." Katze trailed off.

Riki paled. "Wait... You think that Jupiter...."

"No. He'd be a baby." Katze walked to the man's side. "Excuse me, sir. May I ask your name?"

"Yes you may, but you will not receive an answer. You and your friend may leave me be now."

Katze sighed. "Look, I'm sorry about my friend, but... you two look so much alike it scared him."

"So he verbally attacks what ever it is he's scared of?"

"That's Riki." Katze shrugged. The man sighed and looked at the redhead.

"My name is Ivander. I have no last name and I am not a Blondie. I am nothing more than an abomination. An ill breeding between who must've been a fallen Blondie and a mongrel woman."

"A mongrel whore, probably." Riki muttered.

Ivander spun around. "Your bloody mother!!" he spat back. Riki lunged at Ivander, but Katze stepped in between, grabbed Riki and putting him into a choke hold. "Calm your stupid ass down, Riki! Maybe we can find out some more about him and why you two bear such a resemblance if you calm down!"

"Why do you two care?" Ivander asked, crossing his arms.

"Does Jupiter know about you?" Katze asked, letting Riki go.

"Probably not. I have no citizenship." Ivander said, lowering his head. Katze nodded.

"If you don't mind, I want to tell his Master about you. Perhaps he can help you out. Do you know who your mother was?"

"No. I was taken from her." Ivander said softly.

"By the Blondie?"

"No. I don't think so. I can vaguely remember her singing to me one night, but that's it. She had such gorgeous eyes...."

"A lot of mongrels seem to have "gorgeous eyes" to Blondies." Riki said, pissed. "I don't see how that is. They're all dark."

"Well your eyes are dark, yet I will admit, they are very attractive." Ivander said. Riki smirked. "Well, since you two both know my name, can I know yours?"

"I'm Katze. This is Riki, the pet of Iason Mink."

"Ah. I've heard of him. The untamable pet from Ceres. Riki the Dark. The former leader of Bi-"

"I left that life behind, okay? Don't mention those ass munchers around me." Riki spat. Ivander jumped at the sudden outburst, but logged it away to use for later.

As soon as those words left his mouth, Riki regretted them. 'Great. Now he's going to use them to his advantage....' he thought.

"Let's go back to the penthouse. I'll call Iason and tell him about this. Riki, don't worry. All you mongrels looks alike." Katze joked. Riki kicked him in the shin, happy that he could crack jokes at a time like this. Ivander chuckled as well, finding their relationship cute. He walked out of the shop with the two men.

"So, how about a race to the penthouse? The Eos Tower, right?"

"Yea." Riki answered. "Why?"

Ivander shrugged. I just want to see who's faster."

"HEY! Get back here! You didn't pay!!!" the angry shop keeper yelled.

"Readysetgo!!!!" Ivander yelled, taking off. Katze and Riki on his tail laughing.

"Daryl poured Ivander a cup of tea, not at all shocked at the resemblance. "It's the hair. That's all. If you style his hair differently, he won't look like Riki." he said, setting the tray down and sitting in Katze's lap. The redhead took this into consideration. "You may be right. Pull your hair back."

Ivander did so.

"Yea. You're right. Now he looks more like.... well, a Blondie."

"He looks a bit like Iason." Riki said.

"All Blondies look alike." Katze said snickering.

"Everyone looks alike to you!" Riki yelled, batting at Katze.

Ivander let his hair go and straightened it. "So, when is this Blondie going to get here?"

Just as he said that, the door hummed open and Iason stepped in.

Daryl and Katze stood. "Welcome home Master Iason." Daryl said, bowing. Katze bowed as well.

Ivander stood and bowed nervously. The Blondie was much more intimidating than he thought. "Th-thank you for letting me into your home, Lord Mink." he said keeping his head down.

Riki smirked, standing up slowly and sashaying over to the great Blondie. "Welcome home." he purred, wrapping his arms around Iason's neck and getting up on his toes to plant a kiss on his lips. Iason smiled and leaned into the kiss. "Thank you, pet. Now, who do we have here?" he walked away from Riki and over to the still bowed Ivander. He tilted his chin up and his eyes widened for a brief second. "Omaki. He's the only Blondie I know that's slept with a mongrel woman. How old are you?"

"T-Twenty-three, sir....."

Iason's brows furrowed. "The date doesn't match... Will you be 24 this year?"

"Yes. Very soon as a matter of fact."

"It still doesn't match. If you were Omaki's child, you'd be 24 already. Unless you were a few months late, which I highly doubt."

"Omaki sleeps with EVERYTHING." Riki rolled his eyes. Katze nudged Riki. "Ow! Freak...." he muttered. "Oh man, if Raoul saw him, he'd freak out." Riki laughed. Iason glared at Riki.

"Riki!" Katze scolded. He grabbed his arm and pulled him close. "Don't jinx it. You know how Raoul is. Say his name three times and he appears."

Riki giggled and covered his mouth.

"Ivander, do you remember anything about your parents?"

"Well, my mother looked fairly young and she had gorgeous eyes and a soft voice, but I don't know anything about my father."

"Well, I'll call Heiku. He'll draw blood and can have your father's information in less than 24 hours. We won't know about your mother. Riki. He looks like you. Did your mother ever mention you having siblings?"

"What are you suggesting? That my mom whored herself out to a damn Blondie?!" he growled.

"You yourself said that it wasn't uncommon for a mother to whore herself out to put food on the table. Now, what is your answer?"

"....I.... I don't remember. She died when I was young. She had a nice voice too. Mongrel females are know for their voices, right?"

"I wouldn't know, pet. Anything done by a mongrel isn't recognized by any other population other than mongrels."

"Unless they kill a non mongrel." Riki muttered.

Ivander looked between the two lovers as they spoke. "Well, I do have a trinket that I believe was from my mother." Ivander pulled out a necklace. It was the same one Riki had.

"What. The. FUCK?!" the mongrel screamed, dashing into the master bedroom and opening a drawer. He pulled out the necklace and ran back into the hall. "I have the same one....." he held his next to Ivander. Both necklaces had jagged ends like it had been broken in two. The two ends fit perfectly. Ivander and Riki looked at each other.

"I always thought it was broken...." Ivander said.

"But I never thought it would have another half...." Riki said. "I have a brother?"

"It would seem.... You're my little brother....."

"This sucks balls...." Riki said, walking over to the couch and sitting down. Ivander sat next to him. "I'm sorry I was rude to you."

"No... no. It was my bad. I always felt.... like I wasn't alone.... When I looked at you, that emptiness was gone and it scared the hell outta me. But... we must be half brothers because I'm not half Blondie. I've met my dad. He's dead now, but he couldn't deny me if his life depended on it. I'm his mirror image."

"Mother's genes must not have been that strong, but we do have the same eyes.... and forehead.... and chin." Ivander said, touching his little brother's face gently. Riki's eyes began to water and he pushed Ivander's hand away, stood, and ran out of the hall.

"Riki!" Ivander called. He moved to get up, but Iason stayed him.

"Let him think. You two have missed all of each other's lives. Not to mention, Riki's always told me how he wished to have some family, but with his parents both deceased, it was nothing more than a wish. I don't think those tears are anything more than tears of joy." Iason smiled at Ivander. "You are not alone anymore either."

That was all Ivander needed. Like his brother, his eyes watered. He clung to Iason, letting the joyful tears fall freely.

Katze turned to Daryl. "Let's leave them. I'll help you out with dinner. Where's Tai?"

"He's out with Odi and the twins. Toma and Ayuda are helping Yui out with Raoul's estate."

"What happened?"

"Something about a windstorm. I'm guessing that Yui got pissed at Regiland and threw something at him and broke a window, so the wind tore everything else up."

"It has been windy..." Katze said, closing the kitchen doors. "I hope they get done before Raoul gets home. Poor Yui."

Daryl nodded, thinking about his friend.

Outside the kitchen, Iason had taken his seat next to Ivander and held him while he cried. When the younger man calmed himself, Iason stood. "I'm going to check on Riki. Make yourself at home. Feel free to wander about. It seems as though this will be your new home." Iason smiled, walking towards his bedroom. Upon entering, he was greeted with the sounds of sobbing. Riki wasn't on the bed. "Riki? Where are you, pet? Come to me."

When Riki didn't come, Iason looked around for him. He found his sobbing pet on the other side of the bar, his knees pulled up to his chest and his face buried in his arms. Iason knelt down. "Come to me, my love. Why are you weeping so? Aren't you happy?"

Riki crawled into his lover's embrace. "No! I'm not happy! Why didn't she tell me?! Why did she hide him from me! She knew how much I wanted a sibling!"

"You have to think about it, Riki. What were the odds that they let him live? Why tell her son about a brother when he may not even be alive?"

Riki curled up in Iason's arms and his weeping calmed. He felt so warm in Iason's arms. "I am happy though. I have a brother. Someone I can cut up with. Someone to smoke and drink with. Too bac I can't crack on Blondies with him." he chuckled.

Iason chuckled as well. "Couldn't you do all of that with Katze?" he asked, ignoring the "cracking on Blondies" part.

Riki nodded. "Of course. Katze's the closest thing I've ever had to a brother, but he's not my brother."

Iason kissed Riki's forehead. "Well, now your brother will be staying here with us, that is, if he wants to."

Riki smiled and kissed Iason back. "I love you...."

"And I, you, Riki."

Before Iason and Riki could finish those words off with a kiss, Ivander went dashing into the room, Katze behind him. "Stay in here, okay?" he whispered. He then left.

Iason gently moved Riki off of him and stood. "What's going on?"

Ivander looked at Iason. "I think his name is Raoul?"

Iason cursed under his breath. "Stay here with Riki. Use this as time to get to know each other more. I'll come for you when it's.... safe."

Iason left the room and entered the Great Hall. "Ah, Raoul. Welcome. What brings you here?"

"I'm here to return your bodyguard and furniture." he looked to Toma and Ayuda. "They were helping Yui clean my estate. I wanted to thank you."

"Your thanks isn't needed, my friend, and either way, you'd be giving it to the wrong person. I didn't even know they were gone." Iason looked to the two lovers, who looked away nervously. "I hope they weren't a problem though."

"None at all. I'm actually glad they came down to help Yui out. It seems that Regiland won't help clean. I'll have to address that issue when I return. Anyway..." Raoul stopped when he noticed the two wet spots on Iason's shoulders. "Who was crying?" he quirked a brow.

Iason looked at both shoulders and smiled. "Who else?"

Raoul shook his head, smirking. "I don't see why you don't let me punish him again. I'll set him straight."

Iason's smile faded and he glared at Raoul. "Now we all know how well that went last time, right Raoul?" he said, his voice holding a ice cold tone. Raoul shivered and cleared his throat. "Yes, well, its about time I went home now. Thank you again for your furniture's help. Good night, Iason."

"Good night Raoul." He walked Raoul to the door. As he opened it. Heiku made his way. "Hello Iason, Raoul. Show me to this half breed of yours." he smiled.

Iason paled and Raoul quirked a brow. "A what? Half breed?" He turned to Iason. "Please tell me you're not talking about a Blondie mix? Where is it?!" he demanded.
