Chapter 1
A young boy about nineteen with sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes stood at the counter to an eyeglass store waiting, fidgeting continuously as he did so. "Here you are Mr. Jones, I hope you and your brother find a new place to stay soon, I can't fathom why your parents kicked you two out of the house, you seem like such a nice boy and I'm sure your brother is too," a lady said as she walked up with two pairs of glasses in her hands.
"Thank you for those kind words miss, but it's no big deal, my brother and I were thinking about moving out soon anyway, how much do I owe you?" the boy replied and smiled as he pulled out his wallet.
"It's a total of a hundred and fifty dollars for both pair," the lady said.
"Okay, here you go miss," the boy replied and handed the money to the lady.
"Thank you, have a good night sir," the lady said as she took the money.
"You too miss, good bye and thanks again," the boy replied and left. Once he was outside he sighed and put on a pair of the glasses he had bought. "Alright Matt, let's go," the boy said as he looked to his right where he knew his brother had been standing when he entered the store, but his brother wasn't there. "Damn it where did he go?" the boy growled as he looked around. A moment later he heard a shout right as he heard a terrified voice scream 'Al,' in his head. "Fuck Matt," the boy cursed and dashed off in the direction of the shout. A few minutes later he came to an alley with another boy that looked exactly like him, except with slightly longer hair, and five other people in it. "Get the hell away from him," he snarled and attacked the five people.
"Gilbert how much liquor did you order?" a man about twenty-five with beige-blond hair and violet eyes asked, a heavy accent coloring his voice.
"Not much, just ten bottles of rum, three of tequila, und one of Ever clear, plus your Russian made vodka," a man about twenty-seven with platinum blond hair and red eyes replied also with a heavy accent.
"I trust that our supplier is well aware of our, um, predicament so to speak," the man with violet eyes said.
"Ja he knows," the man with red eyes replied.
"So he knows what else he has to supply us with, right Gilbert?" the man with violet eyes asked.
"Don't worry Ivan, he's trustworthy, in fact there's no one else I could trust with our secret except him," Gilbert answered with a grin, "Besides if he screws up he knows that I will be more than happy to destroy him."
"Alright Gilbert I trust your judgment," Ivan said.
"I won't let you down Ivan, oh stop here Toris," Gilbert replied.
"Yes sir," a boy about nineteen with brown hair and green eyes stated and stopped the car he was driving in front of a liquor store. Then all three of them got out of the car and entered the store. "Welcome," a man in his late thirties said as he walked up, "Oh hallo Gilbert, here to pick up your order I presume."
"Ja," Gilbert replied and began to talk to the man in German. The man nodded and walked off. "Toris take the car around back, Ivan with me please," Gilbert said.
"Yes sir," the boy replied and left the store to do as he was told. Then Gilbert followed the man and Ivan followed Gilbert. The man lead them into the back of the store and then over to a stack of pallets. "Here is your order Gilbert," the man said.
"Danke," Gilbert replied and began to look over the stack to make sure everything was there.
"Of course, oh und one more thing," the man said and picked up a bottle of clear liquid with strange writing on the bottle's label. "This is for you," the man replied and handed the bottle to Ivan.
"What is this?" Ivan asked.
"That is the best Russian vodka money can buy, it's a gift, I assume you're Ivan Braginski, am I right?" the man answered.
"Da, so Gilbert has told you about me?" Ivan said.
"Ja, he speaks of you a lot, I only wanted to thank you for all the business you give me sir, I would very much appreciate it if you accepted my offering," the man replied and smiled.
"I see, sapasibo, and the rest of our order?" Ivan said.
"It's all here, even your special request," the man replied and Ivan looked at Gilbert, who nodded.
"Good, expect our business more often now," Ivan said with a smile.
"Sehr gut, I shall, do come again," the man replied and left.
"Gilbert I shall wait in the car," Ivan said.
"Understood," Gilbert replied.
"I shall send Toris in to help," Ivan stated and left the building. "Toris go help Gilbert," Ivan said once he was outside.
"Y...yes sir," the boy replied and dashed inside as Ivan sat in the car, leaving the door open.
"Yeah you better run punks," the blond boy who had attacked the men before growled as four of the five men ran off, leaving the final man on his own, after the boy had sent him flying. Then he turned to the other boy in the alley and frowned. "You okay Matthew?" he asked the boy.
"Yeah Alfred, I'm good," the boy answered.
"Did they meet your eyes?" Alfred asked.
"Yes unfortunately even though I tried my hardest not to let them," Matthew replied.
"Well fuck, no wonder they attacked you, here," Alfred said and handed the pair of glasses he had in his hand to Matthew. Matthew took them happily and put them on. "Thanks Al," Matthew replied.
"No big Matt, I swear these eyes of ours are a fucking curse, I can't believe they made you meet their eyes, stupid bastards," Alfred said, but Matthew was no longer listening because he was staring behind Alfred, eyes wide with fear.
"Al look out," Matthew shouted.
"Eh?" Alfred gasped as he turned and a knife dug into his shoulder. "F...fuck," Alfred growled as he sent the man who attacked him flying and pulled the knife out of his shoulder. "You're gonna pay for that you bastard," Alfred snarled and attacked the man, who was now standing.
After a while Alfred jumped back and growled, "Damn it." His strength was leaving fast thanks to the wound in his shoulder and he was not happy about it. He eventually fought the man off and the man ran off. Then he turned to Matthew and held up the knife in his hand. "Heh, dude forgot his knife," Alfred said with a grin and then swayed. "Fuck," Alfred gasped and fell back.
"Alfred!" Matthew shouted as he jumped up and caught Alfred. Then he sat down and laid Alfred's head in his lap. "Heh, thanks bro," Alfred stated and smiled weakly.
"Ivan everything's in thee car, Toris is getting the last of it now," Gilbert said as he walked up.
"Good," Ivan replied.
"Alfred!" they heard someone shout and Ivan jumped out of the car.
"What the hell was that?" Gilbert asked.
"I don't know," Ivan answered.
"Well now I'm curious, let's go check it out," Gilbert said with a smirk.
"Da, let's," Ivan replied and the two of them ran off in the direction of the shout. They eventually came to an alleyway and spotted two boys about nineteen with sandy blond hair and blue eyes. "Twins, well what do you know," Gilbert said and grinned.
"Da, but they are also like us," Ivan replied.
"Really?" Gilbert asked.
"Da, but it seems one is injured," Ivan answered, "Come." "Privet," Ivan said as he walked up to the two boys, Gilbert close behind.
"Who are you?" one of the blonds asked.
"Friends," Ivan answered.
"G...go away," the blond said as he tightened his grip on the blond who was lying down on the ground.
"Do not worry comrade, I am not here to hurt you," Ivan replied with a smile.
"Why do I highly doubt that?" the blond who was lying down asked as he sat up, clutching his left shoulder.
"It is the truth," Ivan answered as he sat down in front of the two boys.
"I still don't believe you," the injured blond growled.
"That wounds me comrade, I only want to help," Ivan replied.
"Liar," the boy said angrily.
"Why do you assume the worst of me dear Amerikan?" Ivan asked.
"Because I don't trust you," the American replied in Russian.
"Ah, you speak Russian," Ivan said in Russian and smiled.
"Yes, I speak a lot of different languages, Russian is only one," the boy replied.
"Lovely, what is your name American?" Ivan said, glad that the American could speak his native language.
"Tell me yours first Russian," the American replied.
"Ivan Braginski, now yours," Ivan said.
"Alfred F. Jones," the American replied.
"What an interesting name comrade, what is your brother's?" Ivan said.
"Matthew Williams," Alfred replied, "And your friend there?"
"Gilbert Beilschmidt, he is German," Ivan said, "How odd that your brother has a different last name though, is he from another country?"
"Yes, he was raised in Canada, but he is still my brother," Alfred replied.
"I figured, you two our twins, yes?" Ivan said.
"Yes, but why do you care?" Alfred replied.
"I was only curious comrade," Ivan said.
"If you say so," Alfred replied and then swayed, but caught himself before he fell.
"You don't look well comrade, you should be more careful, especially if you're injured," Ivan said.
"No really, I had no idea," Alfred growled.
"I hope you do now," Ivan replied, earning a glare from Alfred.
"Look if you're going to keep insulting me then leave," Alfred said.
"I'm not going anywhere comrade, I really do wish to help," Ivan replied.
"And why should I believe you?" Alfred asked.
"Now now dear American, I am just like you," Ivan answered.
"That's debatable Russian," Alfred said.
"Such a rude little vampire," Ivan replied and Alfred froze.
"How did you know that I was a vampire?" Alfred asked.
"I am like you and your brother," Ivan answered with a smile, revealing a pair of elongated canines, "As is Gilbert."
"Al what is he saying?" Matthew asked his brother in French.
"He is like us Matt, so is his friend," Alfred answered in French and then immediately switched back to Russian. "That still doesn't answer my question Russian," Alfred said.
"Quite the stubborn one are you not?" Ivan replied in Russian.
"I'm waiting," Alfred said.
"I only want to help a fellow vampire, promise," Ivan replied.
"And if I do accept your help, what will you do?" Alfred asked.
"Nothing really, but there is a condition," Ivan answered.
"Oh really, and what is that?" Alfred said.
"It's simple really, just join my clan in exchange for my help, that's all," Ivan replied.
"What's in it for me?" Alfred asked.
"A job and a place to stay for you and dear Matthew Alfred," Ivan answered.
"Matt apparently this man here will help me if we join his clan, plus he'll give us both a job and a place to stay, what do you think?" Alfred asked his brother in French.
"Are you sure he's telling the truth Al?" Matthew answered in French.
"I'm pretty sure, I don't think he'd lie in his native tongue," Alfred said.
"Then I'll let you decide, I trust you Al," Matthew replied and Alfred nodded.
"I don't know if I like that idea," Alfred said in Russian.
"Let me put it this way then, what choice do you have?" Ivan replied. Now Ivan did have a point and as much as Alfred hated to admit it, he really needed Ivan's help, he had lost a lot of blood and was on the verge of passing out. "Alright fine I can live with that, but don't think I will trust you instantly, you'll have to earn it," Alfred said.
"That seems fair," Ivan replied with a smile and loosened the scarf wrapped around his neck. "Here drink from me American," Ivan said.
"I can't believe I'm doing this," Alfred replied quietly and reached for Ivan. He then let out a low growl and bit Ivan's neck. Ivan smiled happily as he felt the familiar pain followed by the same sensual feeling that he loved so much, yet there was something different there as well, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It was almost as if an electric current was zooming through his body, yet it didn't hurt, in fact it was actually quite pleasant. Alfred felt a similar sensation, but he also felt his strength slowly returning. Alfred was also shocked he had drunk from plenty of people before, both human and vampire alike, but they never tasted as good as Ivan did and that worried him. How can someone like Ivan taste so good yet be so cruel? Alfred didn't like it one bit. Eventually Alfred stopped to Ivan's disappointment, now that he discovered this new feeling he found himself craving it, but he let Alfred seal the wound and reluctantly let him go. Alfred backed away and wiped the blood from his mouth. He smiled as the wound in his shoulder healed and he stood up. "Better, da?" Ivan asked as he too stood up and fixed his scarf.
"Yes, thank you," Alfred answered.
"I trust you will follow through with our agreement dear Amerikan," Ivan said.
"Yes," Alfred replied.
"Good this way then," Ivan said and walked off, Alfred not far behind.
"Well that was interesting," Gilbert said.
"I guess, in all honestly I'm surprised Al didn't fight more," Matthew replied as he tried to stand up, but lost his balance. Gilbert caught him and then almost dropped him as an electric current shot up his arms, startling him. Matthew jumped up startled as an electric current shot through his body and he looked at Gilbert. "What the hell?" Gilbert gasped and looked at his arms stunned, but the electric current vanished when Matthew jumped up.
"What was that?" Matthew asked, just as stunned as Gilbert.
"Beats me, let's go," Gilbert replied.
"Y...yeah," Matthew stated and the two of them followed Ivan and Alfred.
After a little while the four of them came to the liquor store and Ivan lead them to the car. "There you are, where did you go?" the boy with brown hair Ivan had called "Toris" said as they walked up.
"We went to go check something out und found these two," Gilbert replied as he motioned to Alfred and Matthew and grinned.
"Ah h...hello," Toris said.
"Hey," Alfred replied and smiled, "I'm Alfred and this is my brother Matthew."
"Pleased to meet you I'm Toris, one of Mr. Braginski's assistants," Toris said with a small smile.
"Cool," Alfred replied and his smile widened revealing his long canines.
"Oh, you're like us," Toris said.
"Oh you're a vampire too?" Alfred asked.
"Yes, I am a member of Mr. Braginski's clan, if you are here I'm guessing you and your brother are now members too," Toris replied.
"Yeah," Alfred said.
"Toris is everything in the car?" Gilbert asked.
"Yes," Toris replied.
"Sehr gut, now then let's head back bruder is probably waiting," Gilbert said.
"Yes sir," Toris replied and the five of them got in the car. Toris started the car and drove off.
After a little while Gilbert looked at the back seat and noticed that Alfred and Matthew had dozed off. "Well what do you know they're asleep," Gilbert said.
"Gilbert just because we are vampires doesn't mean we can't sleep, a lot of things happened to them today I'm sure," Ivan replied.
"I know that Ivan," Gilbert stated and then he looked at Matthew. He smiled, now that he finally got a good look at Matthew he couldn't deny that he was very attractive. Matthew's sandy blond hair was a tad wavy and reached the middle of his neck, his skin was pale and flawless, and he was tall with a slight frame, all in all he was actually pretty cute in Gilbert's eyes. "You are staring Gilbert," Ivan said.
"What?" Gilbert replied and looked at Ivan.
"You were staring at Matthew, are you attracted to him Gilbert?" Ivan said as he smirked, violet eyes gleaming with mischief.
"So what if I am, got a problem with it?" Gilbert asked.
"Nyet, I have nothing against it, I am more interested in Alfred," Ivan answered and Gilbert looked at Alfred. Alfred's sandy blond hair was shorter than his brother's and a little messy yet it looked good on him, his skin was a tad darker than Matthew's but just as flawless, and he too was tall and had a slight frame, not as cute as Matthew yet attractive in his own way. "He's nice looking too, but I like Matthew, you can have Alfred," Gilbert said and then turned back to Matthew. Gilbert watched him sleep as he remembered what happened earlier, the electric shock didn't really hurt it just startled him, but he had no clue why it happened in the first place. The electric current had vanished the minute Matthew left his arms, yet he still felt something drawing him to Matthew, but why? That's what was bothering him, but he just decided to leave it alone for now and figure it out later, so he continued to watch Matthew as he slept. Ivan looked at Alfred and smiled, to Ivan Alfred was the most beautiful person in the world, from his sandy blond hair that reminded Ivan so much of his beloved sunflowers that sat in a vase in his office to his bright sky blue eyes that now lay closed as Alfred slept, Alfred was gorgeous. Then Ivan remembered the strange yet lovely sensation that he had felt when Alfred drank from him, the feeling that Ivan now craved with all his being, that pleasant electric feeling that he only felt with Alfred and smiled. He knew what the feeling meant because his older sister had told him about it and honestly he was glad it was Alfred. Thanks to their little interaction earlier Ivan could tell that Alfred was a strong person, not only had he felt the sheer strength of Alfred but he found that the young American possessed a strong personality that could rival Ivan's own, a formidable opponent to say the least. That together with his looks made Alfred the ideal person in Ivan's eyes and Ivan was glad he was a part of his clan. Ivan happily watched the American and continued to smile. Eventually they came to a large hotel with a club and a restaurant on either side of it, the club to the right and the restaurant to the left. Toris drove the car around so that it was behind the three buildings and parked the car in an empty space of the huge parking lot that lay there, making sure that the car was in walking distance from the club. As soon as the car stopped the two brothers began to stir and Ivan smiled happily. "We are here," Ivan said as he opened the door and got out.
"Where exactly is here?" Alfred asked as both he and Matthew got out.
"Your new home silly Amerikan," Ivan answered, "This is where the members of my clan and I live."
"Bruder where have you been, we need to prepare the club for tonight," a heavily accented voice said as a tall man about twenty with slicked back blond hair and blue eyes walked up.
"I went to get some liquor to restock, I told you that earlier," Gilbert replied as he got out of the car and grinned.
"It doesn't take that long to pick up an order bruder," the man said and frowned.
"Jeez you're so up tight Ludwig, you're getting to be just as bad as Roderich," Gilbert replied and laughed.
"Bruder now is not the time, we are already behind schedule," the man said.
"I apologize Ludwig it is my fault Gilbert is late getting home, we went to investigate something and met these two," Ivan replied and motioned to Alfred and Matthew.
"Yeah so chill out, by the way Alfred, Matthew this is mein bruder Ludwig," Gilbert said
"Hey I'm Alfred and this is my twin brother Matthew," Alfred replied.
"Hello," Matthew said.
"Hallo," Ludwig replied.
"Bruder help Toris I need to talk to Ivan real quick," Gilbert said and Ludwig nodded. Ludwig walked over to Toris, who was just now opening the trunk, and the two of them started unloading the trunk. "Hey Ivan have you decided what jobs Alfred und Matthew are gonna have?" Gilbert asked. Ivan opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by a loud shout, followed by some very colorful curses in Italian coming from the direction of the restaurant. "What the hell?" Gilbert gasped and the four of them ran over to the restaurant.
"Damn it tomato bastard, you just ruined my Cannolies, do you know how long those take to make?" a accented voice shouted right as the four of them walked up.
"Ve, fratello it was an accident," another voice with a similar accent to the one that shouted said.
"Shut up, it's your fault he slipped in the first place you're the one who spilled the damn milk," the first voice shouted.
"Lovi calm down," another accented voice spoke, this accent different then the other two.
"I will not, thanks to you I have to make a fresh batch," the first voice growled.
"Let me help," the third voice spoke.
"Hell no," the first voice growled.
"But Lovi," the third voice whined.
"No means no bastardo," the first voice shouted.
"Kesesese sounds like Lovino und Antonio are at it again," Gilbert said.
"Da, they better not ruin the kitchen again," Ivan replied.
"Lovi you're so cruel," the third voice whined again.
"Stop calling me Lovi damn it, it's Lovino," the first voice growled.
"But it sounds cute," the third voice said.
"Shut the hell up bastardo," Lovino shouted which was followed by the sound of something getting hit.
"Ow that hurt Lovi," the third voice whined for the third time.
"I don't give a damn," Lovino shouted.
"So mean," the third voice pouted.
"Ve Antonio are you ok?" the second voice asked.
"Do not worry mon ami, I'm sure he'll be fine," a fourth voice said, with yet another accent.
"Are you sure?" the second voice asked.
"I'm fine Feli," Antonio replied.
"Ve okay," the second voice stated. At that Ivan walked in with Gilbert, Alfred, and Matthew right behind him. "What is going on in here? I can hear you all the way across the parking lot," Ivan said.
"Bonjour Ivan, sorry about that," a man about twenty-six with long wavy blond hair that was pulled back into a ponytail with a blue ribbon and blue eyes replied.
"It is all right Francis, but I would like to know what happened," Ivan said.
"I slipped and knocked over Lovino's Cannolies," a man about twenty-five with messy brown hair and green eyes replied as he rubbed the back of his head.
"What happened to your head Antonio?" Gilbert asked.
"Oh Lovi got mad at me and hit me," the man answered.
"You deserved it jackass," a man about twenty-two with dark brown hair and amber eyes with a slight tent of green said.
"Ve fratello don't be mad at Antonio, he didn't mean to knock over your Cannolies," a man about twenty with reddish-brown hair and amber eyes replied.
"Shut up Feliciano," the man with dark brown hair growled.
"Mon dieu mon ami must you always hurt people," the man Ivan had called "Francis" said.
"You shut up too wine bastard," the man with dark brown hair replied angrily.
"How rude, must you always insult me so," Francis said.
"It seems that's the way he will always be," Gilbert replied.
"No one asked you potato bastard," the man growled.
"Kesesese no one has to, the awesome me needs no permission," Gilbert said.
"Shut the hell up," the man snarled.
"And if I don't?" Gilbert asked and grinned.
"Mon ami do not encourage him," Francis replied.
"Where's the fun in that?" Gilbert asked.
"That is true, but I don't want him to mar your lovely body mon ami," Francis answered and smiled.
"Really mis amigos, not in the kitchen," the man with green eyes said and laughed as he stood up.
"Mon dieu of course not, that is for later, oui?" Francis replied feigning shock and then winking at the man. Gilbert started laughing and the other two smiled. "I hope so I do not want to have to replace my kitchen again," Ivan said.
"Do not worry Ivan you won't have to," Francis replied.
"Your kitchen?" Matthew, who had been silent the whole time, asked.
"Da, I own this restaurant, I also own the hotel and club," Ivan answered.
"Holy shit, you're rich, that's pretty cool," Alfred said.
"Thank you dear Amerikan," Ivan replied and smiled.
"Mon dieu, who are these wonderful people?" Francis said when he spotted Alfred and Matthew and walked up.
"New members of the clan," Ivan replied.
"Oh how wonderful, bonjour I am Francis Bonnefoy," Francis said and smiled.
"Bonjour my name is Matthew Williams and this is my brother Alfred F. Jones," Matthew replied.
"Are you French mon ami?" Francis asked.
"No I'm French-Canadian, Alfred is American, we were raised separately," Matthew answered.
"Oh how interesting," Francis said and the man with green eyes walked up with the other two men close behind.
"Hola, I'm Antonio Fernandez Carriedo and this is Lovino and Feliciano Vargas," the green eyed man replied and smiled.
"Hey I'm Alfred F. Jones and this is my brother Matthew Williams," Alfred said and grinned.
"Ve are you twins?" the younger Vargas asked.
"Feliciano don't ask such stupid questions," the older Vargas growled.
"Don't be hard on your little brother Lovino, he was only curious," Antonio said.
"To answer your question, yes we are, our parents separated when we were very young so we were raised in different countries, I was raised in Canada and Alfred was raised here in America," Matthew replied.
"Ve that's so cool, I've never met twins before," Feliciano said and smiled.
"Really?" Matthew asked.
"Si," Feliciano answered.
"Well we need to get back to work the lunch rush will becoming soon," Lovino said.
"That's quite all right I still need to find jobs for these two," Ivan replied.
"Really, some suggestions mon ami, it would be nice to have a few more waiters and a new chef would not be frowned upon either, especially for the afternoon rush," Francis said.
"I will keep that in mind Francis," Ivan replied.
"Merci, au revoir," Francis said and the four men went back to work as Ivan left with Gilbert, Alfred, and Matthew.
"Kesesese that went well, ja?" Gilbert replied once they were outside.
"Da," Ivan said.
"Is that normal amongst those four?" Matthew asked.
"Ja, hard to believe Antonio is dating Lovino, the guy constantly yells at poor Toni," Gilbert replied.
"Really, and the other two?" Matthew asked.
"Francis is single und Feli is dating mein bruder, how that works I have no idea, Ludwig's a total stick in the mud, but Feli manages it some how," Gilbert answered.
"Wow," Matthew stated.
"Ah, there you are Mr. Beilschmidt, your brother is looking for you," a voice called and Toris walked up.
"Mein bruder? Verdammit I forgot, Ivan I wanted to ask you if you would consider giving jobs to Alfred and Matthew at the club, mien bruder und I aren't enough und I need somebody good with music as well, customers are complaining that there's not enough good dancing music und my last DJ quit," Gilbert said.
"I will consider it," Ivan replied.
"Danke," Gilbert said.
"Bruder!" they heard Ludwig's voice shout angrily.
"Mein gott, bye," Gilbert replied and ran off. A second later they heard some very angry shouting mixed with several curses in German, followed by several calmer responses and then silence. "Mon dieu, poor Gilbert," Matthew said.
"Damn, that Ludwig guy's got some lungs, I've never heard someone shout that loudly for that long," Alfred replied, "This place gets more interesting by the minute."
"It is nothing new Mr. Beilschmidt is pretty laid back and carefree, I find it rather strange that his younger brother has more sense than he does," Toris said.
"Da, come I would like you to meet the rest of the clan and work out what jobs you two will have," Ivan replied and the four of them entered the hotel.
"Oh little brother welcome back, did it go well?" a gentle accented voice said and a woman about twenty-seven with platinum blond hair and blue eyes walked up.
"Privet sestra, da it went very well," Ivan replied with a smile.
"That's good to hear," the woman said and hugged Ivan, who returned the hug.
"Oh sestra, meet Alfred and Matthew, they're members of the clan as of today," Ivan replied as he released the woman.
"Oh hello, welcome to the Feniks Ohtyel', the Phoenix Hotel, I'm Katyusha, Ivan's older sister, nice to meet you," the woman said and smiled warmly.
"Hello I'm Matthew and this is my twin brother Alfred," Matthew replied and returned Katyusha's smile.
"Like oh my god Toris, where have you been?" a voice called and a boy about nineteen with blond hair that stopped at the middle of his neck and green eyes ran up. He threw Toris into a hug, nearly knocking him over, and Toris grunted. "Hello to you too Feliks, I had to take Gilbert to pick up an order for the club remember," Toris said.
"Like that's right, I forgot," the boy replied and let go of Toris. Toris straightened out his clothes and Feliks looked at the other four people in the room. "Like oh my god who are they?" the boy asked when he spotted Alfred and Matthew.
"That's Alfred and Matthew, they just joined the clan today, Matthew is the one with the longer hair and Alfred is the one with the bomber jacket," Toris answered.
"Like hi I'm Feliks, Toris' fiancé," the boy said as he wrapped his arms around Toris' right arm, causing Toris to blush, and smiled.
"F...Feliks do you have to announce it to the world?" Toris asked.
"Like why not everybody in the clan already knows and are okay with it, even Ivan knew," Feliks answered.
"Y...you knew Mr. Braginski?" Toris asked stunned.
"Da," Ivan answered and smiled.
"Are you the only two engaged?" Matthew asked.
"Like hell no, Yao and Im Soo and Heracles and Kiku too," Feliks answered. Then they heard shouting and Feliks grinned. "Like speak of the devil," Feliks stated.
"Aiyaa, Im Soo what the hell, let go aru," an accented voice shouted.
"But Yao, I don't wanna daze," another accented voice said.
"Im Soo-kun don't you think you should do what he asks, he is your fiancé after all," yet another accented voice replied.
"Im Soo please let go aru, I can't breathe," the first voice said.
"Ah I'm sorry love," the second voice replied.
"It's ok aru," the first voice replied and four people walked up. "Oh ni hao Ivan," a man about twenty-five with long dark brown hair that was pulled into a low ponytail and brown eyes said.
"Privet Yao, Im Soo, Kiku, Heracles," Ivan replied.
"Konnichiwa Ivan-san," a man about twenty with short black hair and brown eyes said.
"Hello," a man about twenty-seven with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes replied.
"Hello again Ivan," a boy about sixteen with black hair and brown eyes said.
"I wanted you to meet your new clan members, this is Alfred and Matthew," Ivan replied and motioned to the two brothers.
"Ni hao, I'm Wang Yao, but just call me Yao, this is my cousin Honda Kiku, Kiku's fiancé Heracles Karpusi, and my fiancé Im Young Soo," the man with long brown hair said and smiled as he introduced the other three.
"Konnichiwa," the man with black hair that Yao introduced as "Kiku" replied.
"Hello," the man with brown hair who Yao had called "Heracles" said.
"Annyeong," the boy with black hair Yao had called "Im Soo" replied and grinned.
"Hey I'm Alfred and this is my twin brother Matthew," Alfred said and smiled.
"Pleased to meet you," Matthew replied and smiled slightly.
"Well it was great meeting you and all, but we have to go now, najung-e boja," Im Soo said as he took Yao's hand in his and walked off.
"Zaijian, maybe we can get to know each other more later aru," Yao replied as he waved back, smiling.
"Yeah catch you later," Alfred called after him, returning Yao's wave.
"Sumimasen, but Heracles-kun and I must be going too, have a good afternoon Ivan, Katyusha, Alfred, Matthew, sayonara," Kiku said and left with Heracles.
"Hmm I wonder why they all left so soon," Ivan replied.
"Like who knows about Kiku and Heracles, but I honestly think Im Soo is still mad at you," Feliks said.
"Why would Im Soo be mad at Ivan?" Matthew asked.
"Like Ivan and Yao used to be dating and in a way Im Soo is probably mad that Ivan dumped Yao and worried that Yao might go back to Ivan," Feliks answered.
"But it was such a long time ago and it was a mutual break up, we both agreed that it wasn't going to work well," Ivan said.
"Like I don't know Im Soo is weird," Feliks replied.
"Oh well, hopefully over time we can get pass it, at any rate Alfred, Matthew I would like to speak with you two in my office, Toris, Feliks can you show them where it is please," Ivan said.
"Like sure, come on guys," Feliks replied and the four of them began to walk off, leaving Katyusha and Ivan behind. Ivan watched Alfred happily and was about to follow when his sister stopped him. "Ivan you seem to be very happy, may I ask why?" Katyusha said.
"Sestra I have found him," Ivan replied, a warm smile gracing his features.
"Found who Ivan?" Katyusha asked.
"Moya lyubov' sestra, after centuries of searching I've finally found him," Ivan answered, violet eyes bright with joy, and his sister smiled knowingly.
"Oh Ivan I'm so happy to hear that," Katyusha said and hugged her brother.
"I am happy about it too," Ivan replied as he returned his sister's hug.
"But who is it?" Katyusha asked.
"Alfred sestra, it is Alfred," Ivan answered.
"How do you know?" Katyusha asked, slight worry in her voice.
"Sestra when Gilbert and I found the twins they were in an alley, Alfred was injured, I do not know why though, but he was. I was able to tell what they were instantly and I offered to help if they joined the clan in return. After a while Alfred agreed and I let him drink from me and as he was I felt the familiar sensation that came with being bitten, but there was also something else," Ivan explained.
"And what was that brother?" Katyusha asked.
"It was almost as if an electric current was zooming through my body, yet it didn't hurt at all, it actually felt good," Ivan replied, "And on the way back I remembered you telling Natalia and I about the feeling before and that's how I know that he is the one sestra, Alfred is my other half I just know it."
"I think you are right Ivan, but be careful around sestra, you know how she is," Katyusha said, clearly worried.
"Da, I know, I promise to be careful, da svidaniya sestra, I will see you later," Ivan replied and left. Katyusha watched him walk off and hoped with all her heart that Alfred would not face the wrath of her younger sister, for her sister had nothing against killing people if it meant she could have Ivan all to herself.
Alfred had followed Feliks and Toris as they left Ivan, Matthew not far behind, and led the two brothers to the elevators. Feliks and Toris then led them out once they were on the right floor and down a long hallway. Alfred and Matthew looked around in awe, the hallway was gorgeous, no scratch that, the whole building that was the Phoenix Hotel was the most beautiful place the two of them had ever seen. "This place is so lovely, Ivan has such wonderful taste," Matthew said.
"Like I know right, if it would only transfer to his clothes, like his closet is full of tacky clothing," Feliks replied.
"Feliks don't say such things, Mr. Braginski might not approve," Toris said.
"But it's like so true, his clothes are horrible, have you seen the mess he calls his closet seriously," Feliks replied.
"I think he dresses just fine Feliks," Toris said.
"Like whatever," Feliks replied and the four of them stopped in front of a large ornate door. "Like here's Ivan's office," Feliks said and opened the door. Then the four of them entered the room and spotted two other people, one was a boy who looked like he was about seventeen with short blond hair and blue eyes and the other was another boy about fifteen also with blond hair and blue eyes. "Like hey look its Eduard and Raivis, hey," Feliks said and the two boys looked up.
"Oh hello Feliks, Toris I see you're back," the seventeen year old replied.
"Yes, oh Raivis, Eduard, this is Alfred and Matthew they will be part of the clan from here on out," Toris said.
"Oh hello, I'm Eduard and this is Raivis, nice to meet you," the seventeen year old replied.
"Hi I'm Matthew and this is my twin brother Alfred," Matthew said.
"Hey," Alfred replied and then grinned.
"Oh I see you have already met Raivis and Eduard," a voice said and they all turned to see Ivan standing in the doorway.
"Oh h…hello," Eduard replied.
"And hello to you too, would you two do me a favor and find rooms for Alfred and Matthew, preferably next to each other if you don't mind," Ivan said.
"Y…yes of c…course sir," Eduard replied.
"Sapasibo," Ivan stated and Eduard and Raivis left swiftly. "Now then take a seat wherever you like so we can talk about your job options, Toris would you please get some drinks," Ivan said.
"Y…yes sir," Toris replied and left. The four who were left sat down and Alfred pulled something out of the pocket of his bomber jacket. "Like oh my god, is that an Ipod?" Feliks asked, eyes wide.
"Um, yeah I always have it, music calms me down, especially when I'm nervous about something," Alfred answered.
"Like can I see?" Feliks asked.
"Yeah sure," Alfred answered with a smile and handed the Ipod to Feliks. Feliks looked through the music list and smiled. "Like oh my god, you have some awesome music on here," Feliks said.
"Thanks and that's not all of it," Alfred replied with a grin.
"Like really where's the rest of it?" Feliks asked and Alfred's grin widened when he reached into his jacket pocket again. He pulled out a little black rectangle and Feliks' eyes widened. "Like is that a flash drive?" Feliks asked and Alfred nodded.
"Are you good with music Alfred?" Ivan asked.
"Yeah actually just give me a laptop and a turn table and I can do pretty much anything with music," Alfred answered with a smile, "I actually was a DJ for a while, ask Matt."
"Is that true Matthew?" Ivan asked the other brother.
"Yes it is," Matthew answered.
"Like oh my god, we so need a new DJ at the club, so it's like perfect," Feliks said.
"I agree, but you will only do that at night, during the day would you mind being a waiter at the restaurant I own?" Ivan replied.
"Not at all, as long as Matt can be a chef, he's an awesome cook and he was a chef for a while too, plus didn't you go to culinary school Matt?" Alfred said.
"Yes actually, graduated top of my class too," Matthew replied with a smile.
"I think that's fair and he can like totally be a bartender too, I heard Gilbert saying that he could use an extra pair of hands to help out at the club," Feliks said.
"And yet again I agree Feliks, da those jobs will be perfect for them," Ivan replied.
"Like awesome, oh here Alfred," Feliks said and then gave Alfred back his Ipod.
"Thanks Feliks," Alfred said and Toris walked in with a tray with several drinks on it. He sat it down and began to pass out the drinks. He handed a glass of clear liquid to Ivan and a glass of what looked like red wine to the other three. "Ah sapasibo Toris, do sit, we are only waiting for Eduard and Raivis to return now," Ivan replied.
"You've already decided on jobs s…sir?" Toris asked.
"Da, Alfred is a waiter and a DJ and Matthew a chef and bartender," Ivan answered.
"I…I see, well I'm glad it went well," Toris said.
"Da," Ivan replied and smiled.
"Like sorry to leave so quickly, but Toris and I need to find Kiku and Heracles, have a good day Ivan, see you later you two," Feliks said and left with Toris.
"Yeah, bye Feliks," Alfred replied. "Hey Ivan," Alfred said once he was sure Feliks and Toris were gone.
"Da, what is it?" Ivan replied.
"Um, thanks," Alfred said.
"For what dear Amerikan?" Ivan asked.
"For helping us out, you didn't have to you know," Alfred answered and Ivan smiled.
"That is true, but I wanted to, you looked terrible when Gilbert and I found you, I am happy to be of service," Ivan said.
"Well still, thanks dude," Alfred replied.
"It is no problem Alfred," Ivan stated and a moment later Eduard and Raivis walked in.
"H…here Mr. Braginski, the rooms y…you asked for," Eduard said and handed two key cards to Ivan.
"Ah sapasibo Eduard, you may leave, but first see if Katyusha needs you to do something for her," Ivan replied.
"As you wish s…sir," Eduard said and left once again.
"Here you are, these are your rooms, Raivis will show you the way, I will see you later, da?" Ivan replied as he handed the key cards to the two brothers.
"Of course, thanks again," Alfred said and left with Raivis and Matthew.
"Well things will certainly be more interesting from now on," Ivan said with a smile once he was sure the three of them were out of ear shot, "Da very interesting indeed."
