Arlian's Cottage
The front door of the cottage leads to the living room, which if you followed through you would find a wooden stair case that leads to the cottage bathroom and the cottage bedroom, and next to the staircase is the door to the cottage kitchen.
Cottage Front Room Page #1
Chipetsua shut the door behind him and walked over to the couch, lying Arlian down on it gently. He lifted his head and body up slightly so that he could sit down, laying his head down on his lap. He ran his fingers through the pink hair and smiled faintly down at him, sighing contentedly.
Arlain blinked his eyes open and slowley sat up "Sorry...didnt mean to fall asleep" He yawned, nuzzling into the hyenas neck.
"You don't need to apologize." He rubbed Arlian's bacl softly and kissed his cheek. "Arlian.. Are you going to tell me what you were diagnosed with or are you going to leave me guessing?"
"I have it..." He looked down slightly "But its only acute leukemia, they can treat it...but let's not talk about that hmm?" He gave a weak smile kissing Chipetsua on the lips "I would rather think about something good than bad"
"Okay, two more questions then I will stop talking about it until you are willing to speak of it. how much will it cost to treat? And, when will they start the treatments?" He kissed the pale nose of his lover and smiled, holding him softly yet protectively in his arms.
"Im lucky I dont have to have any surgery or anything, just pills...and as Im under 21 I should get them cheap...they need to get a prespription for me, I will be quite ill though, so make the most of me now" he laughed.
"You're not a piece of meat.. or some toy." He muttered, patting his head softly. Chipetsua chuckled a bit and pulled Arlian into his lap, nuzzling his neck.
"I know that, but you also have to see things from my point of view...your going away soon I need to get as much of you as I can" He giggled, kissing the other males forehwead and then lips.
"Mhm." Chipetsua kissed him back lovingly, his ears drooping a bit. His eyes went to the door, to which Eru was pawing at frantically, which caused him to move Arlian from his lap and stand up. "Even pups need to piss, love." He opened the door and let Eru run out.
Arlian slumped back onto the sofa a bit and pouted "You just dont want me"
"No, I just don't want to have to clean up piss." He smiled back at him, wagging his tail a bit and flicking his ears.
Arlian stuck his tongue out at the other male and crossed his arms over his chest "Sure right"
"Okay, I don't want you." He joked lightly, a smile on his face. He let the pup back in when he ran to the door, shutting it behind him and heading back over to the couch.
"Hmph" Arlian shifted on the sofa slightly "Fine have it your way"
"Oh really?" He got onto the couch and poulled and male into his arms and onto his lap, nuzzling his neck softly and kissing his neck.
Arlian arched his neck slighly allowing the other male to kiss him more "You like me on your lap hmm?"
"Indeed." He muttered past his skin, running his fingers through the other's hair.
Arlian took Chipetsuas chin into his hand and pulled his lips to his as he kissed him passionatly.
Chipetsua gripped the pink locks a bit and kissed Arlian back just as passionately, if not more. his tongue swiped over the other's lips in an eager fashion, wanting access into the wet pink cavity.
Arlian opened his muth, only slightly to let his lovers tongue enter, he kissed back just as eagerly, his hands now on Chipetsua's chest.
Hyena's hand grippped a bit tighter and gave his hair a tug, pulling his head back and breaking the kiss. He trailed kisses down his lovers jawline and down his neck, purring softly as he nipped.
Arlian let out a quiet moan as the male kissed down his neck, goosbumps running down his whole body at the nips.
Chipetsua bit beloved's tantilizing and seductively pale skin, a low groan coming from him at the taste of his bitter and metalic, yet surprisingly delicious blood. Aside from the blood, reminding himself that he was not feeding on prey, he bit down a bit harder into his neck where his last bite had been, only now deepening it and making sure the scar would be visible when it healed.
Arlian pulled away from him harshly putting his hand to his neck to where he had bitten him "I thought you said I wasn't a piece of meat"
"Oh, get real Arlian. It's a canines natural instinct to want to mark what is his or hers." He mumbled out, licking the blood from his lips and letting his hand rest stop of the hand on Arlian's neck. "And it's not a one time thing... It is preformed often."
"Well...you can't, not anymore" Arlian pulled Chipetsua's hand away from his.
"The cancer." He said out in a sigh, his blue eyes on the neck once more. "I'm sorry." He mumbled out, pulling Arlian closer to him and hugging him.
"It's ok...but you don't have to bite me to make me yours y'know" He smiled, kissing his cheek.
"Canine instincts..." Chipetsua reached up and caressed Arlian's cheek with his thumb, nuzzling his face into his long hair. "I will be able to stop... so long as you start putting some stuff on your neck that makes me gag."
"As if I'm going to put something on me that will make you not want me anymore" He smiled as the hyena nuzzled his face against him.
"I'll always want you, but you should put some vile tasting stuff on your neck so I don't bite.." He nipped his neck as he said the word bite, smiling a bit. "Like, let's see... I don't like the smell of cherries, nor the taste really, so you could always put cherry scented lotion on your neck. Hm?"
"I could do...or you could just refrain from biting me" He grinned kissing his lover on the lips.
He shook his head and looked up at him. "Arlian, I would feel safer if you put the lotion on your neck."
"Well, as for now I have no lotion" Arlian frowned.
"I will remember for now, but tomorrow we will be going to the mall."
"ok" Arlian kissed him again, his hands around his lovers neck.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you some of the left over food if you want."
Arlian shook his head "Not hungry atall..." He kissed down Chipetsuas neck slowley before kissing back up his lawliine "Im guessing you are"
"No, I won't eat all day. I usually eat like a pig one day and the next day I don't eat at all.. It is a habit I picked up during my assassination jobs."
"Oh yes, you did tell me" Arlian took himself off of Chipetsuas lap and sat next to him on the sofa.
"I know I told you at one point, but I thought I'd tell you again since you forgot." He cracked his neck and let out a soft sigh, relaxing back against the couch with his arm around Arlian's shoulders. "Are you gonna be okay, Arlian? I mean, you won' go all mood swingy on me when I try to help you out sometimes, right?"
Arlian looked at him "I can get really annoying..."
"I can stand being annoyed, but not feeling like I did something to make you mad at me."
Arlian looked down "Im only going to get worse...you cna leave if you ever want to, dont think that just because im ill you have to stay with me"
"Hey, Arlian. Nothing could ever make me want to leave you, not even mood swings or this cancer. Honest. I promise I'm gonna be right by your side through this."
Arlian nodded and smiled at Chipetsua "Still, im sure there is a part of you that wishes you kinda didnt get involved with me"
"A small part of my mind knows it will lead to heartache, more than once, but my heart wants what it wants.. And it wants you." He nuzzled into Arlian's neck once more.
"Im sorry if i cause you heartache...I love you"
"I know you do." He kissed his jawline softly. "And I, you."
Arlian giggled and lay down on the sofa, lightly pulling Chipetsua down ontop of him as he kissed his ips lovingly.
Chipetsua laughed softly against the kiss, his hands holding onto Arlian's hips firmly.
"I like hearing you laugh" Arlian whispered breaking the kiss for a moment before kissing him again deeply.
"You and Eru seem to be the only ones who can make me laugh." He mumbled, breaking the kiss for a moment once more before kissing him back.
Arlian smiled in the kiss, his hands running through the males blonde hair.
He pushed himself up with his good arm and looked down at arlian, sighing a bit. "I really think you should eat something."
"No, can't you just give me attention?" He whined slightly.
"I worry about you.. that's all." He smiled and leaned himself back down, kissing beloved's chest softly.
"Well dont" He giggled as Chipetsua kissed him "And thats more like it, I like attention"
"I always worry about the things and people I love. Listen, Arlian... You have got to have a jar of cherries in your fridge of something, your skin is so sweet and seductive, I don't know if I could bear not to bite." He said, nipping the small mound of flesh on his chest, sucking softly.
"No, I don't have any cherries..." Arlian sat up on the sofa, lightly pushing Chipetsua away from him.
Chipetsua complied to sitting up a bit at first but soon just got completely off of the couch and sat on the floor.
Arlian looked down at him "Do you think we will last? Our relationship?"
"I believe we will, Arlian." He smiled and pat Arlian's thigh in reassurance, gripping softly. "And if we don't, then hey, we'll be good friends. It's a win win situation."
"Im scared of ever seeing you with someone else..."
"Ah, that won't happen. But I know you will find someone if we ever have a falling out, but I will want you to be happy."
"And I want you to be happy...I just feel like I piss you off sometimes" Arlian sat on the floor next to the other male.
"You kind of do, but then again, it is my own insecurities that set me into a rampage like yesterday at Muixen. Arlian, there is always going to be conflict in a relationship, and I'm sure you know that."
Arlian shrugged "There just seems to be so many things going wrong"
"I know.. And I'm sorry. I wish I could turn back time to right those wrongs, but I can't.."
"I think you are too scared of hurting me...you're too polite, talk dirty to me, shout, treat me rough...im not made of glass y'know" Arlian slipped his hand into Chipetsua's.
"I know you aren't, Arlian. But when I see you, you do look like a piece of glass. So perfect, such detail, beauty beyond what one person should be granted in their life. A marvel. I am afraid of hurting you because if I hurt you too badly I am afraid you will be mad at me, push me away..."
Arlian smiled at this and blushed "You're just too nice..." he kissed his cheek politley "But, If you see me that way...I don't know..." he shrugged again.
"And besides, you can't even handle a simple bite." He nudged him with his elbow and grinned over at him, snorting a bit. "Aber... Ich liebe Sie egal was, meinen süßen süßen Arlian." Using a different language, German, he spoke his words of love to his Arlian.
"Sorry I don't speak Polish" Arlian looked confused.
"German. And I said, I love you no matter what, my sweet sweet Arlian." He kissed him softly on the lips and smiled smally, his icy gaze going over his facial features slowly.
Arlian blushed "And I love you no matter what..." He kissed chipetsua in response.
"Arlian, I have a question for you and you must answer honestly, okay?"
Arlian slowley nodded.
"Do you still have feelings for Kotani?" He placed his hand on the nape of his neck and began to massage softly, his features gentle to the eye as he stared at Arlian with such fondness and love in his eyes.
"no, and any feelings that I did have, they have completly gone since I met you. I know now that I didn't love him..."
"I'm getting you something to eat." He said, smiling a bit and pushing himself up from the ground. "What do you want? Your food from yesterday or my food from yesterday.. You to Eru, come on."
"no" arlian shook his hand a bit "I'm fine" He too stood up.
"I'm getting you something to eat. If you continue to make yourself wait too long for food then you will end up having an eating disorder." He said, grabbing Arlian's hand and leading him to the kitchen.
"But cold chinease is bad" Arlian wrinkled his nose up.
"Argh! Humans!" He scoffed, quickly turning his direction back to the door and heading towards it. "We'll go out and get you something to eat then."
"nooo!" Arlian whined crossing his arms over his chest "I want to stay here!"
Chipetsua turned himself around and quickly went over to Arlian, scooping him up by the waist and tossing him over his shoulder as if carrying a dead man's body. "We're going. Eru, come on." He made his way back to the door, opening it and walking out, shutting it behind him.
"No!" Arlian screamed, kicking his legs about in the air "Put me down!"
Dropping the bags onto the couch, Chipetsua immediately sat down and began to dig through them as if he were trying to find the toys. When he found one he pulled it out of the bag and squeezed it, his ears being met with a delightful squeak. He let out a gasp and put the toy into his mouth, chewing on it as he shifted forms. He began to hop around on his hind legs and toss his head back, throwing the squeeze toy and running after it.
Arlian looked down at him slightly confused "thats for Eru not you..."
He bit down on the toy and looked up at Arlian, one ear cocked and the other laying flat. "Ine." He muttered past the toy, obviously in attempt to say
Mine.
"I didnt know you had a fetish for squeaky things..."
"Lere o eliuly chewy." He set the toy down onto the ground once more and licked it for a moment to get the saliva off of it. "And they make the most wonderful sound.."
"Well, leave that for Eru and I might buy you your own special chew" He smiled "Anyway lets go to the mall hmm?"
"But.. but..." Chipetsua whimpered and picked the toy up once more, walking over to Arlian and looking up at him with his big puppy dog eyes.
"Fine you can keep that one but you will have to buy Eru his own one" He put his hands on his hips.
He dropped the toy and reared up onto his hind legs, planting his paws against Arlian's shoulders to keep balance and licked his face. "Thanks, but I don't think I want to be chewing on a
pink cat forever. Perhaps I will head back to the pet store and pick one out for myself."
"Back to the pet store? Well, drop me at the mall first I can get some new clothes while you buy yourself...a chew"
"Okay, I'll drop you off at the mall then. Hey, you think I would be able to drive if I was in this form? That would be prety sweet! I'm gonna try!" He barked out, running past Arlian and heading to the door.
Arlian ran out fater him shutting the front door behind him "No! Don't be so stupid!"
Chipetsua lied Arlian down on the couch after pushing the bags and whatnot from the cushions and covered him back up with the jacket, running his fingers along the side of his face softly. "You're still beautiful Arlian." He turned his attention to the loud thud of the boxes hitting the ground and his eyes instantly narrowed. "Gentle. Unless you wish to go buy some more from the hospital." He stated simply, walking over to him and handing him a few bills. "Get out." He mumbled, shutting the door behind the taxi driver.
Arlian blinked his eyes open at the sound of the crashing boxes and the door shutting, Eru came running from one of the upstairs rooms and jumped onto Arlian from the sofa "Ow...hey boy be careful I'ma little fragile" he smiled as he ruffled up the puppies hair. He looked to Chipetsua "Thankyou...fo
r today"
"You really don't have to thank me for anything, sweetheart." He bent over and kissed Arlian's forehead, placing his hand on his flawless face. He kneeled down next to the couch and looked down at Arlian, caressing his face with his thumb. "Do you want to take a bath Arlian?"
arlian nodded "But will my stiches be ok - getting wet?"
"Aye, they'll be fine. Come on, I'll help you up to the bathroom." He pushed himself up and moved Eru from Arlian's body. He extended his hand down to Arlian and smiled smally. "And you're gonna be drinking that bottle when you get out of the tub."
Arlian smiled "ok, I will...lead me to the bathroom" He said as he got up, taking Chipetsuas hand.
He pulled Arlian a little closer so that he could balance against him incase he needed it as he lead Arlian up to the cottage bathroom.
Chipetsua walked to the couch and sat down, gnawing at his lower lip softly as he listened to the male on the other end of the phone. "Mhm... Yeah... He has a dog, as well. He will not let you touch him, more than likely... No, you can't eat him either... He has to drink a bottle of a medical beverage every two hours for the next two days, and if you run out just go to the hospital and get some more under Arlian's name. It will be free so you don't have to worry about paying... Alright... Ja ne." He pushed himself up from the couch and headed back up the stairs, heading back to the cottage bathroom.
Chipetsua walked down the stairs and ran his fingers through his hair, looking around the room with a sadened expression. He walked to the door and exited, not bothering to grab his jacket, which was on the couch, and shut the door behind him.
Kirill walked into the house and looked around for a moment, not really acknowledging the fact that it was so dark in the cottage. He simply walked to the stairs and walked up them, quieting his bird when he threatened to sqwuak.
Kirill walked down into the front room and walked over to the front door, grabbing a glass bottle full of orange liquid, medicinal beverage from one of the cases. He looked at it for a moment and shook his head, sighing quietly. "Humans and their strange needs." He muttered, heading back up the stairs to Arlian's room.
Kirill let out a quiet yawn and exited out of the house, muttering a few words to himself and going to his car.
A few minutes after Kirill had gone and driven away from the cottage, Asa walked into the house. He did not know who lived here, he just knew that there was bound to be food that he would not have to waste money on. He looked around and walked towards the kitchen, entering into it.
Asa walked out into the living room and sat down on the couch, grabbing some brocolli from the box and stuffing it into his mouth.
Arlian followed him into the room, unsure of the males intenetions, but for now he seemed ok.
He crossed one leg over the other and looked back at Arlian, tilting his head a bit and furrowing his brows. "So, why are you here by yourself? I would expect Chipetsua to be here or something, or that other guy I saw leaving."
"Chipetsua is taking care of buisness...and Kirill had to go out to get somethng, He wont be long"
"I see, hope he doesn.t mind Arlian having a friend over."
Arlian looked over to the other male "YOu will have to leave before he gets back..."
"Aw, is that so? What if I don't wanna?" He asked, putting on his puppy dog mask, his eyes enlarging and his lip puckering a bit, his facial features visibly softening and some tears welling up in his eyes as his ears laid flat against his head.
"That face dosn't work on me...and Im sure Kirill will get you out of here even if you dont want to leave"
Asa placed the food on the table and got down onto the ground on his hands and knees, his body shifting into that of his hyena appearance. He walked over to Arlian and rubbed his pure white muzzle against his thigh, whimpering a bit. The whole of his body was white, an odd and extrememly rare, so rare being that he was the only one with such a trait, deficiency such as albino. He let his tail hang between his legs in a type of 'surrender', his ears still flat against his head. "Please?"
Eru began to bark at Asa even more, running around the living room as he did so "No - why should I do you any favours?"
Asa let out a sharp growl and snapped at the pup as if he were the pup's alpha, his ears perking up once more and his tail extending straight up, curling a bit into his back as he exerted his dominance. "See what happens when you ask nicely? Pft, no reason trying to be nice. I'm staying here and that is that, you'd better be ready for what you will recieve after my sleep, human." He muttered, turning back around and trotting over to his food, burying his muzzle in it as he devoured it.
"Eru" Arlian called the dog over to him, he did as he was told and ran behind his masters legs "Whaqt makes you think you can stay here? Chipetsua will be back tomorrow and Kirill wilkl be back in less than half an hour"
He licked the fragments of food from his white fur and simply turned away from Arlian, trotting to the stairs and up them as he headed for the bedroom.
Arlian stood in the front room not knowing what to do, he was too scared to leave the house but to scared to go after the hyena. HE went over to the sofa and sat down, his arms protectivley acorss his chest.
"Hello, Arlian. Everything okay?" He asked when he noticed how Arlian was sitting and his body language. "Something happen to you?"
"He's upstiars" Arlian whispered as he stood up quickly.
"The rapist?" He asked rather casually, shutting the door behind him softly and looking in the direction of the staurs. "Or somebody else?"
"What how do you know that?"
"You're friend at the pet store, now, shh.. Just tell me who is up there."
"his name is Asa..." Arlian looked up the stairs.
"Come on, let's go pay him a visit, hm?"
Arlian grabbed Kirill's arm "No, hes dangerous"
"Honestly, Arlian. Do you really think I would be as careless as to be hurt by a Chipetsua wannabe?"
Arlian let go of the males arm and nodded, allowing him acess to the stairs.
"Coming?" He asked as he stopped at the second step, looking over his shoulder at Arlian.
"Erm ok..." Arlian whispered following after Kirill.
Arlian entered the room and sat down on the sofa, Eru followed after him, jumping on his lap "I wish Chipetsua was here..." He whispered to the small dog.
Kirill came down about a half an hour later applying chapstick to his lips. He replced the chapstick into his pocket and walked over to the couch, sitting down on the edge of one of the cushions and looking over at Arlian. "Well, I can tell you this much... he tastes horrid."
"You...ate him?" Arlian asked timidly.
"No, I cleaned the clotted blood up and stopped the bleeding of the wound on his back. I may be mad at him, but I would not eat him. You said no dead animals in your house, did you not? And, I will buy you new sheets tomorrow before Chipetsua comes back. I tore your top sheet up to use as wrapping."
"Oh...ok...so...what do we do with him now? He can't stay here" Arlian wrapped his arms across his chest.
"When he's up he is out. I won't put him out when he is near unconscious, it's inhumane. and you know what, I was measuring him up instinctively when I was cleaning him up and I deducted that he is a bit thinnger and scrawnier in build than Chipetsua. Not enough to notice to the untrained eye, but still smaller."
"So I'm stupid for mistaking him to be Chipetsua?" Arlian looked down slightly, embarrassed of the mistake.
"No. I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have said that. Did he try anything with you before I came back?"
"No, he just ate some food is all...they must be related though dont you think?"
Kirill grunted in agreement and crossed his arms over his chest as he sat back on the couch and relaxed a bit, but not much. "It's a high possibility, yes."
"So...what should we do?" Arlian looked abck over at the other male as Eru jumped off his lap and over to Kirill.
"Well, there is not much I can do in this bared house." The lizard looked at Eru before patting his head softly and shrugging Poncho from his shoulder. "Perhaps the doctors would compare DNA for me. I'd have to get some from Chipetusa, too, though and I won't be able to do that untill tomorrow when he comes home."
"Do you think Chipetsua will actually come back to me now?"
"I'm sure he will. Arlian, you should eat, but first.." He pushed himself up from the couch and walked over to the boxes of D.O.'s, grabbing one bottle from the boxes and walking back over to Arlian. "Here." He muttered.
Arlian sighed and took the bottle of Kirill and took the lid of "Im scared of when he wakes up"
"Have I ever let anything hurt you since I've been here?" He sat himself back down and crossed one leg over the other, leaning back against the couch and shutting his eyes.
"No..." Arlian drank the medicine "This stuff is so sickly!"
"I'm sorry, but look at the bright side. Three drinks gone, twenty-one left to drink."
"yay! 21!" Arlian laughed slightly.
"Oh, stop being so sarcastic and try thinking on the bright side of things, Arlian. Okay, the bright side of Asa being here, limp and damaged, tells you that he is in fact still human and has his limitations and thus meaning that you could hurt him if he ever tried anything with you again."
"I wont need to hurt him - you're here" Arlian smiled.
"If Chipetsua or I are not with you at the time. Oh, and you know what? You still need to buy yourself a skimpy little nurse outfit for Chipetsua."
Arlian smiled "Yeah I guess I do...do you think he has some kind of dressing up fetish?"
"Dunno, don't care to know.. Chipetsua and I share a strictly professional relationship, I do not want to know about his fetishes."
"Well you kind of already do know..."
He grunted and turned his head away, quickly trying to hide a faint blush with his black bangs. "I know he wants you in a nurse's outfit, that's all."
"Are you blushing?" Arlian poked him arm lightly.
"No, I am not." He swatted the finger away softly before turning his head once more to face foreward instead of away. "I don't blush."
"Hmm" Arlian grinned "You just keep telling yourself that"
"I don't." He persisted.
"So why are your cheeks flushed? Hmm?" Arlian giggled.
"I may be getting a fever, like I said, stray dogs tend to be diseased and I just put my tongue all over one."
"Eww" Arlian screwed his nose up "WHen do you think he will wake up?"
"Oh, I don't know. Perhaps later on today, or even soon if he is infact Chipetsua's brother."
"What do you mean by that? He will get up quicker if they are related?"
Kirill smiled a bit. "No, not because they are related, but simply because if they are twin brothers they are mre than likely going to share traits such as persistence, arrogance, waves off major body injruies and sometimes even fatigue in a place they are uncomfortable and so on."
"Oh right, what should we do when he wakes up?"
"He;s leaving when he wakes up, unless you want him to stay." He shrugged.
"Do you think I want someone who abused me satying in my home?"
"Well, you're the one who asked what we should do when he woke. I thought you might have some ulterior motive."
Arlian looked at the other male "I was only asking as I am too weak to do anything about it..."
"He won't touch you, I promise."
Arlian nodded "I...I wish that Chip was here"
"You can call him if you want to, you know"
"And say what? That they guy who raped me is sleeping in our bed?"
"No, don't tell him that. He will be distracted upon doing his job. You cannot worry anybody like that when they are about to dive head first into combat."
"So really I shouldnt call him atall..."
"Well, you should call him and clear everything up betweeen the two of you. It's best to do it now since he will not be available later on tonight."
Arlian nodded "I guess you're right, can i borrow you're phone?"
"Of course." He pulled the phone from his pocket and tossed it into Arlian's lap, then pulled Eru into his and pet his head.
Arlian smiled and dialled Chipetsuas number "I Will have to gove you some money for all these phone calls" He murmered under his breath.
"Hey, don't worry about it."
"Hello?" Chipetsua answered.
"hi..." Arlian trailed off as he got quieter.
"Hi." He waited a couple of heartbeats before asking, "Do you want something?"
"No...I just..." He trailed off again, scared that the male was angry at him.
"Arlian, don't be afraid to say what you want to say."
Arlian glanced at Kirill beofre wandering into the kitchen for a bit of privacy "Am I annoying you?"
"No, why do you ask?" He asked.
"I...you are going to come home right?"
"Yes.. If I am welcome, that is. You were mad at me, and this time it was clear, it was no mood swing or anything. Arlian, honestly, it was a joke. You are simply not the type to jump the gun like that."
"I know...well...come abck if you want to, I wont force you or anything..."
"I'm sorry for accusing you of being jealous, and of course I'm coming back. I don't run away simply because of a simple disagreement."
"Im just worried sick about you, you know that..." Arlian sighed.
"I know, I know... And I'm sorry for making you worry. Is everything alright on your end?"
"Er, yeah yeah everything's fine, Kirill is really nice"
"Oh really? Doesn't sound like him at all."
"Why is he usually mean?"
"Usually doesn't show any emotion... Ah, are you keeping up on your prescription?"
"Yeha, but its horrible, its making me sick"
"Yeah, the doctor said at first it would make you feel sick to the stomach, but you'll start getting used to it."
"I hope so..." Arlian sighed "So, where are you now?"
"Me and my partner are on our way to the mafia's hideout."
"God....please be careful"
"Hey! No worries. Nothing can take Chipetsua down!"
Arlian laughed slightly "Just, promise you will call me when your safe ok?"
"Alright, I will.. Ah, listen- Stop it, stop tapping me! Jeez. I'll call you when I get finished with this job, I have to go now. About a block away from the target. Love you, bye.." He closed the phone and the line went dead.
Arlian frowned He never waits for me to say goodbye... he wandered back over to Kirill and handed back his phone to him "thanks"
"I trust everything was settled between the two of you?" Kirill asked after sliding the phone back into his pocket and letting the pup off of his lap.
"Yeah, and he should be home soon, so Asa needs to be out"
"Arlian, he won't be home until tomorrow... I'm sure of it. And Asa will be out by today, don't worry about it.
"Ok then...well Im gonna go to the mall...wanna come?"
"If you don't mind, then, sure. I'm going to have to leave Poncho here, though."
"But the guy might eat him...unless I leave Eru here too, he seemed to like Eru"
"But I'm guessing Eru didn't like him all too much, did he?" Kirill chuckled a bit and stood up from the couch. "Hey, Arlian.. I didn't see a car out front, did Chipetsua take it or something?"
"Oh...my cars at the mall..." Arlian looked down for a moment "Then we will have to walk or get a taxi?"
"I do have a car, Arlian. I can follow you back home after we're done at the mall."
"Oh right, yeah sure" arlian smiled "But if you are gonna be following me back then be caeful i tend to break suddenly"
"Alright, thanks for the warning. Do you know they sell bird clothes? That is just plain wrong, about as wrong as owning and dressing up lizards."
"No, I knew they sold dog lcothes, but bird clothes?!"
"Seriously! They had tuxes and everything. It looked possitively degrading."
"I think birds would look odd dressed up" He looked over at Poncho.
"Even worse they had a variety of frilly dresses, too.." He shuddered and let out a low groan, also looking over at the bird stationed on the side of the couch. "How's about that, Poncho? I buy you a frilly blue dress for your birthday, hm?" Instantly the bird flared his wings, tail feathers, chest feathers and the feathers on his head in a strong disagreement. "Bad for Poncho! Bad for Poncho!"
Arlian luaghed at the bird "He certainly knows whats good for him dosen't he?"
"Poncho, make sure the pup stays out of trouble.. and Eru too. Whenever you're ready to leave, Arlian."
"well, um yeah Im ready" he picked his wallet up off the side table.
kirill nodded and opened the door, walking out of the house and heading to his car.
Kirill lead the strawberry haired male to the couch, setting his bags down and sighing. "What did you do to my bird?"
"He clawed my leg up so I put him in his place, that's all." Asa said simply, shrugging and getting down on all fours, running to the coffee table and pawing at the pup wagging his tail, playing with him.
Arlian clutched the bag close to himself, wondering if Asa had done anything to Eru, he looked up at Kirill.
"Perhaps I should take him to the vet, Arlian.." Kirill mumbled, sitting himself down on the couch and running his hand down the length of the small bird's wing only to have him swuak and pull his wing away. "I'm sorry buddy."
"He's fine, I simply slintered his bone a bit, nothing a bit of rest will not fix. Splint his wing and he'll be fine. Come here Eru." Asa grabbed the pup by the armpits and picked him up, craddling him in one arm and petting his head with the oposite hand. "Eru was a perfect little angel, though."
Arlian scowled at Asa as he picked up his puppy "Now you seem to be all better you can leave now"
"My leg is gashed open, if I do recall. Least you could do is let me stay until it is properly cared for... And I wish to have you care for it, Arlian." Asa said simply,, walking over to him and holding Eru out for him.
"Mhm, and I suppose you urked Poncho simply because you wanted to be wounded."
Arlian took Eru from Asa and held him on the sofa protecivley "Im sure you can survive with a hurt foot"
"Fix my foot, midget." Asa kicked his bloody foot up onto the couch, his towel flying up slightly.
Kirill grabbed the male by the arm and pushed him to the ground, growling slightly and crossing one leg over the other.
Arlian stood up quickly, Eru still in his arms "Kirill just get him out of here!"
"As you wish it, Arlian." Kirill set poncho down on the arm of the couch and stood up, grabbing Asa by his hair and dragging him to the door. He tossed the white-haired male out and shut the door, patting his hands together and walking back to the couch.
"He's coming back though isnt he?" Arlian looked towards thw wooden door, convinced that it would not keep Asa out.
"If he does he will have to settle with a missing limb. Simple as that.' Kirill pulled some chapstick from his pocket and applied some to his lips, a slight hiss coming from him.
"Well...Im gonna call up the pet store, see if he knows any vet numbers, ok?"
"Yeah, sounds good. Here." Kirill tossed the cell phone down next to him before plopping down into the cushions and grabbing the bags ofr clothing. He pulled the nurse outfit out and examined it, whistling to himself through his teeth.
Arlian dialled the number of the pet store and put the phone up to his ear "Hi! Is that Shio?....Yeah it's Arlian, y'know the one with Chipetsua....yeah Im fine thanks you?.....goood...anyway....yeah...you know Kirill, he came in earlier....yeah with the bird....well the bird has been hurt...yeah....well do you have a vets number....ok....thanks....oh yeah and Kirill totally fancies you so are you up for going ona date with him tonight?" Arlian looked at Kirill smiling.
Kirill's cheeks flushed and he quickly turned away, huffing slightly. "Fine."
Arlian frownded at the phone "No, Im totally serious, hes standing here blushing now!...go on Shio it wont be awkward atall!...ok...lemmie ask" Arlian turned to Kirill "Where would you take him?"
"Er.." Completely lost of words, Kirill simply shrugged and flicked some bangs from his face. Never having been in a relation ship before, he really had no ideas.
Arlian rolled his eyes "He will pick you up from the store ina couple of hours and take you out for dinner ok?....I dont care if yuo ha ve laods of stuff to do, just be ready, bye!" He hung up the phone and gave it back to Kirill with a grin.
"Geez.. I thought you were calling for a vet's number, seems you just wanted to set me up on a date." Kirill took the phone and looked back at Arlian, waiting for the number of the vet's office if he got it.
"Shio said that the vets is just down the road from the pet store. Are you excited - what you gonna wear?!" Arlian clapped his hands togteher.
"Casual... Er, my casual." kirill let out a shuddery groan and set the phone on the table, grabbingPoncho and petting his wing softly.
"Well, be nice to him ok? And erm no kissing on the first date" Arlian stuck his tongue out at the other male "I cant wait till Chip gets back!" He squealed.
"I didn't plan on it." He scoffed, looking out of the corner of his eyes at Arlian.
Arlian frowned slightly "You...do like him dont you?"
"Mayhap. From what I know if him, which is very little, I like him a bit... But not enough to kiss him yet."
"THis may sound mean but I need him to get distracted from Chipetsua..." Arlian fiddled with his waist length hair for a moment "But, I could see you both being a great couple"
"Arlian, you're coming with us. You're going out to dinner with us, and we're going to go to sa movie afterwards."
"What no way Im not going with you - that would be so awkward!" Arlian crossed his arms over his chest.
"You're coming, and that's final." Kirill nudged the other male. "Perhaps you should go bathe."
"Kirill" Arlian looked at him rather seriously "Im not being a third wheel on you're date - imagine how embarrassed Shio would be, and besides, Chip mght come home tonight"
"Arlian, you're coming. Chipetsua is not coming home tonight. If you do not agree to come then I will stand him up. I'm not leaving you alone, how do I know asa will not come back?"
"FIne stand him up then" Arlian stood up and went throug the kitchen and up the stairs to the Cottage Bedroom.
kirill furrowed his brows and watched the young male leave, sighing a bit. He laid back on the couch, holding Poncho by the feet, and shut his eyes. No date then.
***
Kirill got up a little while later and let out a small sigh. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and got up from teh couch, grunting slightly to himself and heading up to the cottage bedroom
***
"Arlian, are you ready to go yet?" Kirill yelled up to Arlian after enteirng the door. He kicked the toe of his boot against the ground and readjusted it a bit. "We're leaving in a little bit."
hearing Kirill calling him, Arlian made his way down the stairs, tying his long pink hair up into a pony tail as he did so "Im ready" He smiled when he saw the otehr male.
"Good." Kirill smiled smally and nodded his head, turning back around and opening the door once more. "You want to take your car or mine?"
"Let's take mine?" Arlian smiled sweetly at Kirill.
"Alright. Do you want to take Eru? You know, so you feel a bit more comfortable. Forwarning, Cecilia gives people a sort of 'evil-eye' if she does not know them and suspects them of something."
"Erm...no...I wont take Eru...what will she suspect of me doing?"
Kirill shrugged and stepped back from the door, holding it open for Arlian. "Well, dunno. She could suspect you for being a zoo spy, or for being Chipetsua's child, because mainly she does not think he can keep 'it' in his pants. Hm, could suspect you for being his lover. Many things really."
"Well she would be right about one thing...but...it will be weird meeting her without chipetsua...do you not think we should wait till he gets back? I don't know if he will be very happy about us going to see her behind his back..."
"He'll be fine. I'll explain things to him if he is upset. Now come on, lets head out. Got your keys?"
arlian let out a light sigh before picking his car keys up off a side table "Lets go?"
Kirill nodded and walked out of the house with Arlian, heading over to the lad's car and waiting for him to unlock the doors.
Arlian unlocked the doors and got into the dirvers seat, he waited for kirill to get into the car before he did his seat belt up "Where does she live?"
"She lives in Avalar, her address is 4725 Woodville." He mumbled as they drove off.
***
Chipetsua relaxed back onto the couch, hands behind head and eyes closed loosely in an attempt to ignore the seathing wounds on his body. A few gashes here and there, a bloodied and aching set of knuckles on his right hand, a long sah down his right thigh and a bruised cheek.
Maw poked at Chipetsua's cheek with a small grin on his face, his blind eyes unseeing the expression that was being given to him by the older male. "Chipetsua, how come you did not take me along? I'm a better shot than you. You didn't have to leave me at the hotel."
Chipetsua palmed the male's face and pushed him back, swatting his hand away form the bruised and now aching cheek he was just poking. "Stop being so annoying!" He growled out, a bit too loudly as he heard the pitter patter of nails against hard wood flooring in the kitchen. He had forgotten that Eru was there. When he felt the pup jump onto his legs and then pawing at his sore chest, Chipetsua released a small yelp and placed a hand over his eyes and mouth. "Ow.. Shit.. I got to be quiet unless I wake Arlian up."
"Arlian, as in, the person running up the steps?" Max asked softly, having heard the footsteps of the light male from where he sat. He snuggled into Chipetsua's side, getting comfortable before his pillow was stoeln away from him.
Chipetsua dropped his hand from his eyes in time to see Arlian burst through the door, a smile quickly coming to his face. "Arlian!" He called out excitedly. "Hel- Where were you?"
"Chipetsua!" Arlian squealed clapping his hands together "Kirill took me on a field trip is all" He hurried to the other male, huggins his waist tightly.
Chipetsua bit back a groan of protest, ignoring the pain slightly and hugging the other male tightly. "Did everything go well while I was away? Drink your perscribed medicine? Oh, and this little buddle of blue hair over here is Max, the assassin I was with when away." He kissed Arlian's cheek and smiled a little bigger.
"hi Max" Arlian smiled "And yes, Kirill has been forcing the medicine down my throat"
"That's good." Chipetsua nodded, now looking down at the male at his side and flicking his forehead. "Move it." When he moved Chipetsua got up and spun around slightly with Arlian, forcing him down onto the couch for Max to have somebody to lie on. "Kirill!" He called out when he heard the other male enter the house, quickly, yet painfully, making his way over to the male and ensnaring him in their usual bear hug. "Ah, it's good to see you! I haven't seen you in three months."
Kirill nodded and hugged the other back tightly, looking past the blonde to look at the two on the couch. "Hm, don't you two seem like old friends in that position." He pulled away from the male and placed his head on Chipetsua's head, gripping his hair slightly and turning his head back to Arlian. "Seems you need your nurse outfit, kiddo."
Arlian blushed slightly "Oh...yeah, I forgot about that..." He looked up at Chipetsua with a grin.
"Hm? You seriously got one? Hm... Then let's go upstairs, love." Chipetsua grinned and stripped off his hoodie, tossing it onto the couch beside Max. "Come come.. Kirill, Max, stay down here if you do not decide to leave.. It may be a while, though." He murred out.
"You can't just leave guests down here!" Arlian said, sounding rather alarmed "That would be rude"
"No, it would be rude to keep me from you any longer, my sweet little gum drop." He grabbed Arlian's hand and helped him up from the couch. "Right Max, Kirill?"
Kirill and Max shrugged and simply continued their light chatter, Kirill's hand now in Max's hair.
Arlian looked at the other two for a moment "If you're sure..." He said to Chipetsua rather hesitantly.
Chipetsua grinned and picked Arlian up, lopping him over his shoulder, biting back a yowl of pain, and hurriedly took him up the stairs to the cottage bedroom.
Arlian made his way into the front room, Chipetsua following closely after him, he smiled at the other two males "Chipetsua suggests we go fro ice cream?"
Before any of the men could reply Poncho sqwuaked loudly and began to flap his wing, almost as if he were trying to fly with only one wing. "I guess that is a ye from me." Kirill sighed.
Max grinned and jumped up on the couch, bouncing over to Chipetsua and onto his back. "Yay! Big brother is gonna get Max his ice cream!" He giggled out, swinging hap[pily on the blonde's back.
Chipetsua laughed and gripped at Max's arms, holding him up slightly. "Yes, I was craving some after you put the thought into my head."
"big brother?" Arlian asked, looking at Kirill for a moment.
"They are close." Kirill shrugged, relaxing onto the couch and patting the bird's head.
Max peeked his blind eyes over Chipetsua's shoulder and waved at Arlian. "Chipetsua protected me from the bullies that were trained with us. They blinded me, put some sort of chemical in my eyes as a way of torturing me.. Bleach, perhaps? Er, well, Chippy saved me!"
"It was nothing." the blonde patted the air slightly. "So, where's the nearest parlor in this city, Arlian?"
"The mall I guess" Arlian smiled "Hey, we should pick up Shio on the way, right Kirill?"
"No, he is upset with me. So, what's the plan? Who's car are we taking?" He asked, getting up once more and stretching his body out.
"Oh ok..." Arlian looked to the floor "Well...my car can hold five people?"
"So you'll be driving?" Chippetsua asked, walking up behind the pink-haired male and wraping his arms around his waist. "I'll bring one of your drinks with us."
"You mean those tastey orange flavored ones? Maxxie stole one when no one was looking. Was those important to Arlian?"
Arlian smiled "They are medicine. but, im sure they will do you no harm"
"Good, then-"
"Let's get going. I can't hold out on ice cream anymore!" Chipetsua annonce, kissing Arlian's ear softly before pulling away from him and heading out to the car with Max on his back still.
Arlian looked at Kiriill, owrry in his eyes "Now its like having two kids"
"Yes, well, they mean well. Well, come on then little one." Kirill draped his arm over Arlian's shoulder, ushering hi mout of the house and to his car. "Poncho will start getting friskey if he doesn't get his vanilla ice cream soon"
Arlian smiled "Well we cant have Poncho get upset now can we?" he made his way to the front door "I wonder who invented ice cream"
Stumble!
