This is the first, and currently the only, betaed chapter.
I'm very glad for picking P up on the offer and she is doing it for free!
BIG THANKS!
Every encouraging review will be gladly shared with her (I take the others for myself).
Even though, be aware that we are both not native-speakers. Corrections and suggestions are still welcome.
To cocoke5:
Thank you again for reviewing! It really helps. To answer your question: No Raven doesn't know about his father and neither Katze nor Raoul want him to know about it.

chapter 13: Maybe
"What do you want?"
"Bad tempered?" Coba displayed an invitation card: "From Kyle."
"I will deliver it when he arrives."
"I'm prepared to wait."
Ryo invited him in with displeasure, since he was idle Coba asked, "Where is Raven?"
How would I know?"
Hello? Out of your senses, furniture?
"What's your problem Ryo? You could have a nice time. Raven is the only pet in your care, and he treats you as an equal but all you do is rankle with him. “
"He is a mongrel! He shouldn't be here! "
"You sound like a petulant child. Say it clearly, you don't want him here. By the way, he doesn't want to be here either."
"Take a hike!"
"Fuck you!"
Coba turned and went into Raven's room, relieved to find him there. Raven breathed again and called out his name,
"Coba! Sit by me, I was bored stiff."
The furniture happily met the wish. Raven's bruises were still visible.
"Is that the reason for Ryo's sulking?"
Raven nodded and sighed theatrically. "That's understated. He's a complete asshole."
The furniture laughed, "Yeah, that's Ryo."
He worked the blockades out of Raven's vertebrae. The mongrel yelped in pain.
"Get a grip! I know it hurts." Raven turned his head to Coba rolling his eyes, but he was indeed thankful.
"What's the news? Are you fine? Is Kris fine?"
"Kris is troubling the hell out of me."
Raven darted him a look of concern. The furniture looked really tired.
"Don't worry! Kris will settle down when this freaking accommodation-thing is complete."
"It isn't?!"
"Apparently not, " he mischievously smiled, "it's quite a show. He hurls insults at Kyle and keeps throwing things at him
and he is damn fast."
Coba's massage took effect and left Raven extraordinary weary, "Lay down! Have a rest! Raoul won't be home soon."
"Heavenly." He sprawled himself out on the mattress next to his friend.
"He took you pretty roughly. Does it hurt? "
"You bet your ass!"
"Are you angry with him? "
Raven considered it.
Am I angry?
He wasn't.
"He didn't mean to hurt me. "
"Do you love him? "
A rather personal question.
"I don't know. I don't want to think about it. "
"I think you do. You smile at him. "
Raven protested, "I smile at you and at Kris too. "
"Not that way. The way you smile at him is that of a lover. " A bitter smile crossed Coba's lips,
"It's the way Janus smiled at me. "
Poor boy.
Raven caressed his back in a comforting manner, "I miss him too. "
Coba's question provoked a storm in him. He knew for sure he wasn't over Katze, but he admitted feelings for Raoul as well.
The man was gorgeous and sensual and Raven cared for him; however, he took him away from his life to a world he despised.
On the other hand, he wasn't likely to give him up like Katze.
I denied Katze but can I do it again? He dismissed the thought and fell asleep.
"Wake up, Coba! I think he's back. "
Too bad. He rubbed his eyes and struggled to his feet. I'm so fucking tired.
"Do you need anything before I leave? "
Raven blushed furiously. That's so disgracing! He pointed to the lavatory.
"I would prefer your help over Ryo's. "
"Sure thing. No need to be embarrassed. "
Coba helped him to the bathroom. He left him as much privacy as possible. He could imagine how Raven felt about this.
"Thanks a lot. "
"It's furniture's duty. "
"I thank you as a friend. I don't see you as a servant. "
Coba gave him a warming smile, "See you, friend
Raoul overheard the last part of their conversation. Ryo already informed him about Coba.
Raven and the furnitures...
The Blondie seated himself on the large rounded couch and waited for Kyle's furniture.
"Good evening, Sir Am. My master sent me to deliver an invitation. " He handed the card over.
"I'm expected to wait for your answer. "
Raoul crossed his legs and took a sip of his wine. Neither his face nor his voice betrayed emotions.
"Sit down! "
Coba picked a small stool but Raoul stopped him, "On the sofa. "
The furniture squirmed uncomfortably under his gaze.
What does he want?
"What have you been talking about with Raven? "
"It was private. "
"Raven is my pet. There exists no privacy unless I grant it to him. "
"I will not betray his confidence in me. " His voice was barely a whisper.
His fear was evident in his features, even though the furniture rose in Raoul's esteem.
Like Daryl.
"Is it only Raven? "
"Yes. He is different. "
"Explain that! "
"He is a friend, he sees me. For us furnitures, who we live in the same rooms with the pets who look down on us,
that is more than we ever hope for. "
Apparently enough to take on such foolish resistance against a master.
Raoul was familiar with furnitures that did everything to please their masters including suppression of all feelings to make life tolerable.
Only one mongrel and they turn out to be rebellious. Is the established system that fragile?
Raoul emptied his glass. That was a lot to come around.
Coba proceeded, "It's not all because of Raven. My life is of little importance without Janus. "
"Janus is not dead, Coba. "
"I know and I'm thankful to you. I will be forever.
Nevertheless I won't see him again, and I have no hope for my master to be as lenient with me as you were with Janus.
It makes no difference if I disappear now. "
The furniture was tired of life and for some reason Raoul felt sorry.
He forced the youth's head up by his chin,
"It has meaning, at least to Raven and Janus. ... Pull yourself together while I draw up an answer for Kyle. "
