chapter 2: from the gutter

To prevent any rumors from sprouting, Raoul made them enter the Eos tower via bridge from the parking garage; not far from a private elevator to his apartment on the top floor. He wasn't able to tell, if the boy was astounded at the luxury. He kept his face perfectly blank and had, to Raoul's chagrin, absolutely no problems to look squarely into his eyes.

A young furniture bid them welcome at the time they arrival, �Welcome home Master, may I get you something?�

�Actually not. Is the room ready?�

�Yes Master.� The youth bowed slightly to him, �There had been a call from Sir Kyle. He left no messages.�

Though not overly pleased, Raoul decided it was best to attend to the affair. With the words, �House him!� he left Raven in his furniture's keeping.

~

The mongrel trailed behind the youth, privately wondering about his obedience. The furniture darted an anxious look at him when they were out of sight. Raven felt sorry for the other boy,

�Relax! I won't course you trouble ... at least not today.�

The remark amazed the youth. Nobody ever saw the need to tell him, he would course no trouble.
In fact no one ever realized him, except when he failed in his duties.

�Thank you, Sir...?�

�Raven, just Raven!�

�I'm Janus.�

Raven relaxed in the presence of the handsome youth. He knew full well about Janus being fostered at Guardian. It made him anyway familiar.

I'm gotten soft around Katze.

�It's an ancient name.�

�I...I don't know.�

�Are you afraid of me?�

Raven gave him a faint smile, which Janus found extraordinary captivating. He blushed furiously before he admitted, �A little.�

�Don't!�

Janus led him to a room at the end of the hallway, �May I show you your room, Sir Raven?�

�Just Raven!�

~

Alone and locked up. Great!

Hour after hour passed and he kept laying sprawled in the bed, starring at the wall.

Giving that Blondie some sort of gratification. Never!

To be confined to one room, made him nervous, like everything beyond his control. He hated it but dissembled his feelings. A result of the years of center condition. A lesson, he learned the hard way. Wait and see. For a long time if necessary. The Blondie would not get on top of him! He could wait ... unfortunately Raoul could too.

~~

�Are you serious about your acquisition?�

Kyle � second head of Tanagura-Syndicate � leaned casually against the door frame. Filling the same position, he was equal-ranking to Raoul. His beauty had an arrogant touch and his manners too. Despite the question, not a cloud of worry darkened his face. In fact, he seemed to be amused.

A moment before dutifully staying on the sideline, Janus asked, �May I get you something, Sir Kyle?�

�Wine and prepare dinner. �

He served a fine Denovian Altas � Kyle's favorite wine. Their every-day-intruder undoubtedly intended to stay all evening. Janus rather spend time with Raven than serve dinner to an obtrusive guest but who would answer a furniture's wish...

�Let me try if I get the wording right. Scum from the Slum. A male without any sort of instruction or control. A source of problems."

Raoul's words and spoken in privacy, for Iason and only Iason to hear.

How does Kyle know that?

Despite his irritation he answered in a tranquil tone of voice, �Your memory serves you right.�

�I know your taste in pets differs but a mongrel is odd, especially for you. What are you scheming?�

�Well, actually I don't know myself.�

Raoul turned a screen on and Ravens face appeared in close-up. A picture that managed to drain the color from Kyle's cheeks.

Impossible. He can be silent after all.

�You realized?�

�Don't get me wrong Raoul. I'm sure he�s more interesting than a stupid sex-doll, maybe worthwhile to train but I have absolutely no intention to let you join Iason.�

�I'm not about to do so.�

Kyle, though unconvinced, took a sip of his wine and smiled, �I'm looking forward to the show.�

~~

Raven spent the entire day in his room. Neither came the Blondie nor Janus. He felt bored to death and wondered how long the Blondie would keep him like this. By the way he was hungry.

On the contrary Raoul wondered, How long does it take, before the mongrel runs out of patience?

He observed him, sitting at his desk and changing the screen every now and then. Without the storage overall, clothed in typical slum style, the boy looked even more like Riki. He was about the same age and shared his long and limber limbs. Shadows, dancing over his pure black hair, aided to the impression of him, brimming with life. Without the dazzling beauty of a Blondie but especially his piercing blue eyes gave an image. He struck a chord in Raoul.

Beautiful.

The boy made for a shower and Raoul decided to face the strange beast. He went through the penthouse with an exchange of clothes for the mongrel.

The water on his skin made him appear most beautiful. He looked like a wet dream, even to the Blondie, who was naturally unused to carnal excitement. The blue of Raven's eyes stood in odd contrast to the tanned skin.

Raoul took hold of his chin. The boy backed away but stood his gaze. Every muscle in the lithe body tensed.

Like of a mongoose in front of a cobra.

Raoul stepped forward and grabbed him again. The boy struggled. He was no match for a Blondie, but his flexibility made it difficult to hold him in place.

�Hush!�

Raven felt humiliated and glared at the Blondie. He desperately held onto the though, 'Blondies don't do that.

Raoul's look roamed over every part of him. Together with the touch of his gloved fingers came a feeling of panic. Raven's jaws clenched tightly.
The Blondie fingered the wounds and bruises from his fight at the depot. He only had a medical investigation in mind but nonetheless noticed the boy's rising fear with satisfaction.

�Show me your hands!�

Raven put them into the offered ones of the Blondie.

�Swollen, but not broken.�

He started investigating the Blondie on his part. He was beautiful with his dark blond hair and the emerald eyes. Every Blondie was beautiful � they were created that way, but this one had a wild touch, that seemed very uncommon to Raven.

Sad eyes.

Raoul pulled a button at his cuff and talked to Janus, �Tend to his wounds. I'm waiting for him at the great hall!� before he left, tossing his gloves into the tray - a significant gesture.

~

�Hand me the med-kit. I can do it on my own.�

�Please, Sir Raven! The management of your health is my responsibility.�

�Are you to be punished, if I don't let you treat me?�

�It's my responsibility.�

Raven sat down on the bed, �O.K.�

Janus treated him with trembling fingers, �Does it hurt?�

�It's not bad. Anyway I'm used to.�

�Must be a horrible place, where you've been living.�

Raven laughed, �A little rough perhaps, but home. I bet it's not so different from here.�

The furniture dropped his gaze. Elites and pets looked down on him and his state was not in the least pampered. Until today he was fine with it and found happiness in his duties. Everything was better than memories and broken dreams. Looking at Raven filled him with sadness.

�Finished, Sir Raven.�

�Thank you.�

Raven tried to pep him up. He grabbed his new clothes in a theatrical movement and declared with mock seriousness, �I assume I'm expected to wear this.�

�Most certainly you are.�

After dressing, they hied for the main hall.

�We are not to be disturbed, Janus!�

The youth bowed and left. Raven narrowed his eyes, focusing on the Blondie, "What do you want from me?"

Raoul didn't answer.

I wish I knew.
He gazed over his shoulder, studying the expression on the mongrel's face.

Anger, defiance?

Riki had been easy to read and his arrogant attitude never changed. His son was different � his face perfectly blank.

Katze's school? Is this the same boy from the depot?

�You are involved with Katze?�

�Obviously.�

�Are you attached to him?�

Raven glanced him a stunned look that seem to question Raoul's sanity.

"I work for him."

The Blondie, considering for a moment, wrapped his arms around himself and stated, �I expect strict obedience.�

�I'm not the obedient type and that's no answer.�

A thrill crept up Raoul's spine, �I am positive we can do something about this.�

�Like?�

�According to the grade of disobedience - house arrest, chains� he paused, �mind wiping.�

Raven nodded uncowed, leaving Raoul again slightly disturbed and unsatisfied. The brat even dared to turn on his heels.

�What do you think you are doing?�

�Starting with the arrest unless you let me know, what you want from me.�

�Well. So be it. You will find yourself cooperative soon enough.�

~~

The mongrel spent a night full of nightmares, resurfacing memories of horror and guilt. He tossed fitfully from side to side and finally craved for a shower. His temples pulsated painfully against his head and his thoughts kept running.

Who has ever heard about a Blondie's mongrel-whatever? O.K. Katze is a mongrel but the exception proves the rule and Katze was furniture in the first place.

Raoul was occupied with similar thoughts.

An official registration?

He disliked the idea but something had to be done about it. The mongrel couldn't remain unregistered in Eos.

He sort of glad realized, Raven didn't show rowdyish behavior. After the warehouse incident, he expected him to be violent. He wasn't prepared for his current demeanor.

Katze's influence?

He was rebellious, no question but his rebellions settled on a field, Raoul knew perfectly well.
Once he stated rather to examine a virus, then to tame a mongrel. Fed up with the numbing monotony of his life, he changed his mind. The boy was a chance to work up his memories. He could treat him as a replacement. Blame him and make him regret for his suffering.
