K, so I don't own DK, nor Beauty and the Beast. I was just doing that musical with my school, so I listen to it every morning. It's stuck in my head. Save me. Anyway. It's short. I ran out of ideas for this chapter. I know that I promised that this one will be longer, but actually, it is. This one is 5 pages on my comp, while the other ones were only 3 or 4. So, I did kinda keep my promise. The next one is skipping ahead a few years, so it should be better. Ibidy – ibidy – ibidy that's all folks!

Fight
"Well, how did you do?" Kai-Stern asked as the door opened to reveal a very well dressed Tetheus carrying Alfeegi in his arms. Cradling his wide-awake son, he sat on the couch with a sigh, then looked up at the brothers that were now his housemates. Smiling slightly, he sat Alfeegi in his lap and started playing with the teal hair that was so much like his mother's.
"I've got the job! I start tomorrow, and I can bring him with me!"
"That's great!"
"Yeah, that's all fine and all, but I'm still confused." Ruwalk sat cross-legged on the floor in front of him. "I have no idea who you are, or what's been going on." Tetheus stared at the two-toned man below him.
"Well, I guess the first thing you should know is that this little man here is my son, Alfeegi. He's not like other children, you might have noticed."
"Sort of. He's not very inquisitive, is he?" Kai-Stern swung his lanky legs over the back of the couch, and plopped down on the cushion next to Tetheus.
"There would be a reason for that you know."
"Really… I hadn't guessed." Ruwalk rolled his eyes. "Tell us already, what is it with you and him?"
So Tetheus spent the next three hours retelling his history with Alfeegi to the brothers that now took up residence in his home. Kai-Stern felt really bad from having mentioned Alfeegi's mother after Tetheus had explained what had happened to her. Ruwalk was amazed, and now understood why Alfeegi didn't look at him as Tetheus told them of the doctor that was fired soon after his visit. The two college students brought into the air their thoughts about Alfeegi, and how they thought that there might be something superhuman about the boy.
"They could be, though I highly think that it'd be 'superhuman'. It's been proven that children that learn to talk early tend to have higher I.Q. than most. There's also how other senses are heightened because he can't use his eyes. I couldn't tell you, I've spent his whole life with him, so I don't notice anything out of the ordinary. Well, it's your turn now, who are you, and where are you from?"
"Well, we're college students from DSC. We're about three years from graduating, if we take the right amount of credits, and this is the fourth lodging that we've signed into. The first one mom kicked us out of, so that was a bust. She actually kinda disowned us, but whatever." Ruwalk started, looking up at the upside-down Tetheus, as Ruwalk was lying on the floor, his head between Kai-Stern's feet.
"The second one burned down when our room mate was baking a cake and we were out at class. We lost all of our stuff. Then we tried the fraternity. We had different… opinions… than they did, so we were locked out for a week, we needed a new place. We've been shopping for a while, and have actually stayed in a hotel for the last two weeks." Kai-Stern shuddered at the thought of the different rental places they've seen. "I just couldn't stand rats, and that guy didn't like us so he kicked us out after the first hour… let's just say that it's not been easy."
"So how well do you cook?" Tetheus asked, looking down at Ruwalk.
"Alright I guess. I haven't burnt anything yet, but I can't do too well if I'm tired. Mostly I just undercook stuff if I can't keep my eyes open."
"He's gotten me sick once. He forgot to cook the fish."
"I did not, you were allergic to the type of fish I made."
"Yeah, and it was uncooked!"
"Was not."
"Was too."
"Was not."
"Was too."
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"Enough!"
The brothers stopped fighting and looked at the angry man that was standing over them. Somehow, in the process of the bought, the two had wound up grappling and pulling hair on the floor. Ruwalk released Kai-Stern's ear from his mouth, and Kai-Stern undid his sleeper hold around Ruwalk's neck.
"Sorry." They muttered at the same time.
"It's alright, just don't do it again."
"So, what's with the name 'Alfeegi'?" Ruwalk asked, untangling his hair from Kai-Stern's fanged ear-cuff.
"It was his mother's maiden name."
"He doesn't look anything like you."
"He has my ears."
"Well, he'd better give them back, you need to hear after all."
Tetheus and Kai-Stern stared at Ruwalk. He blushed and looked at the ground, muttering about how no one has a sense of humor.
"Ruwalk, that's just about as funny as Cogsworth's 'If it's not Baroque, don't fix it' joke. Don't do it again." Kai-Stern glowered.
"Yes sir." He muttered.
"Well, I', turning in for the night, if you care to join me Ruwalk, think twice, 'cause you're not on a nice list at the moment." Kai-Stern stood and stretched. Ruwalk whimpered and gave his best puppy eyes at his brother, a small "pwease" bubbling forth from his pouting lips.
"No."
"Pwease?"
"No."
"Pwease?"
"No!"
"Pwease?"
"No!"
"Pwease?"
"No!"
"Pwease?"
"No!"
"Pwease?"
"THAT'S IT! STOP IT NOW AND GO TO YOUR OWN SEPARATE ROOMS NOW OR I WILL THROW YOU IN THERE!" Again, both men untangled themselves from their fight. They quickly scampered up stairs, and Tetheus tried to calm hi son, who was looking lost and covering his ears from the sound.

When Alfeegi was asleep on the couch when Tetheus went up stairs, and into Kai-Stern's room. When he knocked on the door and opened it, he found Ruwalk spread-eagled on the floor, begging Kai-Stern again. They stopped as soon as Tetheus entered the room.
"Tetheus! How c-can we help you?" Kai-Stern sputtered, his pale face flushed.
"That's actually why I came up here. If you two want to have sex then either make sure that my son is asleep, or not in the house. And if you wake either him or me with it, then you're out, got it?"
"Yes!" They both squeaked.
"Um, how did you know?" Kai-Stern asked.
"This morning, you two were yelling it so loudly that I think my neighbors heard you." Tetheus turned, and closed the door. the brothers – turned – lovers blinked at the wooden door that Tetheus had disappeared behind, and slept in separate rooms that night.
