Eyes and Kanone were on their way to their new house when the former suddenly stopped, looking down a street the couple was passing. Kanone turned to see why the other had stopped, "Eyes?"
Said boy glanced to his boyfriend, "I used to live here. On this street." he whispered as memories flew through his head.
Kanone smiled, this had been one of the reasons that he had been so willing to come to England; he wanted to see where Eyes had grown up. Of course, with everything that had been happening, it had slipped his mind. Walking a few steps to join his boyfriend, Kanone grabbed his hand, "Let's go." he suggested. Eyes nodded and led the way down the abandoned street. It wasn't a busy one, with a bunch of houses crammed together, lining the sidewalks. The road itself wasn't even asphault but cobble-stone, very nostalgic of a time long ago where horse-and-buggy was the only transportation.
The houses themselves were pretty classy and looked like they might have been very expensive twenty years ago, though they looked as if they were from the same time period as the road. The two finally stopped in front of a house that Kanone guessed used to be Eyes'. The former glanced to his boyfriend, "What happened to your parents?"
"I never met my father." Eyes replied, "My mother always told me he had died overseas while she was still pregnant with me, but she never elaborated."
"And your mother?"
Eyes looked to Kanone, "Unless something drastic has happened, she should be inside this house."
Kanone's eyes widened with both suprise and excitement, "Why didn't you tell me she was still living here sooner?"
Eyes shrugged, "We didn't leave off on the best of terms." he admitted, "I don't think she was ever truly comfortable with me being her son."
Kanone's mouth hung open slightly, "How could she possibly feel that way? Even if you weren't drop-dead gorgeous and famous, every mother should love her child, regardless."
Eyes smirked, "What happens when your child puts your life in danger on a daily basis because people are trying to kill him? What happens when your child is one of the Blade Children?"
Kanone shook his head, "It shouldn't matter."
"Yet it does." he pointed out, "My mother had always wanted a normal life for both of us. When the realization that that would never happen came to her, she didn't cope with it quite as well as others might have."
"What do you mean?" Kanone wondered, finding Eyes' past incredibly interesting.
"I mean she all but denied my existance. If someone asked her about her son, she would tell them I was either dead or that I ran away."
"That was only to protect you." came a voice from the front porch.
Eyes and Kanone both turned their heads to see a woman in her late 50's standing there, a fluffy white cat at her feet. She didn't have her son's eyes, but soft green ones instead, and while her hair was grey-ish, it was simply from old age. Kanone imagined Eyes must have gotten everything except his build from his father. Eyes didn't quite glare at the woman, but he certainly wasn't smiling, "Hello, mother."
His mother, however, offered her son a smile, "Hello, Eyes, you're looking well." Only a nod replied to this statement, and the woman turned her head to Kanone, "And who might you be?"
Kanone smiled a slightly warm, yet still fake smile, "Hello, my name's Kanone Hilbert." said boy introduced himself.
Her green eyes once again swept over to her son, looking for more of an explanation, "Kanone is my boyfriend." Eyes explained.
Her expression didn't change much, perhaps a little more wary of Kanone, "I see. So, what brings you around here?"
"We were just in the neighborhood." Eyes replied, "Thought I'd drop by."
Kanone glanced between the two, noticing the tension between them. He was about to suggest that he and Eyes head home when a small boy of about five darted out of the house. Kanone, for a moment, thought Eyes had a youger brother he forgot to mention, but that possibility was erased as soon as the little boy looked up at him. He certainly had Eyes' beautiful silver hair, but his eyes were definitely from his mother, though a more intense green than hers. Katrina sighed, "Travis, what are you doing out here? You'll catch a cold."
Travis looked to his mother briefly, "Mother, don't you know who this is?" he asked, excitedly.
The woman sighed, "Yes, love, I do." Her younger son happened to be obssessed with her older one's music. He simply idolized the older one, though he didn't know that Eyes was his older brother. It seemed that his parents had left that small tidbit of information out.
Eyes glanced down in shock as the small boy latched himself onto his leg, "Mr. Rutherford, I love your music so much!" he exclaimed, looking up to the annoyed boy. He even had the tiniest hint of a brittish accent masked underneath his inability to properly pronounce letters such as 'l' and 'r'.
Kanone couldn't help but laugh, "I see he got your attitude." he said, sarcastically.
"We ever get married, he's going to be your brother-in-law." Eyes reminded him, looking back down at the slightly confused boy.
"Brother?" he asked, looking to his mother, "What does he mean?"
"Eyes is your older brother." she confessed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked, but didn't wait for an answer, and turned back to Eyes, "Why aren't you ever around?" he asked, pouting slightly.
Something tugged at Eyes' heart when he saw the saddened boy. He didn't know what it was, but he felt a strange connection to the younger child, "I'm very busy, you should know that." he replied, not meaning it to sound as cold as it did.
"Oh." was the only reply he recieved. Then, the extended his arms up to Eyes, as if reaching out for him.
Confused, Eyes looked to Kanone then his mother, who provided an explanation, "He wants you to pick him up."
Glancing back down, Eyes saw Travis nodding. For some unknown reason, he complied with the child's demands and crouched down to pick him up. Travis wrapped his legs around Eyes' waist, and his arms around Eyes' neck, smiling. Eyes allowed a small flicker of a smile to pass over his lips, "So, how old are you?"
"Four." Travis replied after thinking for a moment.
Eyes smirked at the pronounciation of the word, and glanced up as another man emerged from the house. He had long, silver hair that didn't seem to be from age at all, and intense blue eyes that were surrounded by crow's feet, which were definitely from age. A frown tugged at his lips as he saw his young son being held by a boy that looked just like him. Only then did he recognize the older one, and the frown deepened, "What are you doing here?"
Eyes studied the man for a moment, "You're..." he looked to Katrina for an explanation.
The latter sighed, and glanced to her husband, "I...I lied to you when I said your father died." she confessed.
"You lied to me as well." Brad said, "You told me you took care of this problem, yet here it stands before me. Holding my son, nonetheless."
"He's your son as well." she reminded him, "You may like to deny it, but he is yours."
"I would not lower myself to even acknowledging such a monster, let alone admit to having any relation to him."
Kanone glared at this, "If you're not his father, than who the hell are you to talk about him like that?" he growled, becoming very defensive of Eyes.
The man glanced to Kanone, "You're no better than their kind, Kanone."
With that simple recognition established, Eyes immediately knew why his mother had kept the two apart, why she told him that his father was dead, and why she told the latter he was dead, "You're a Hunter." he whispered.

Duh duh duh! As if there wasn't enough going on in this story already, now Eyes' father is a Hunter. He seems to like Travis okay, though, wouldn't you think that he would be a Blade Child as well? Maybe Eyes is just that special that only he gets to be a Blade Child. Isn't Travis the cutest little thing, though? Here's the next quote:
"Wait a minute...that means you turned me into a decoy without my permission!"

Good luck!
