Alright, chapter two ready for reading! No warnings for this one. Good smut coming soon though, I promise.
For the next few days Riki wouldn't come out of his room. When Iason or Daryl brought in food he would just pick at it. Of course Iason feared for his health and the health of the child inside of him. Eventually the Blondie confronted him about it.
"Why won't you eat? You're endangering yourself and the baby!" Iason shouted when Riki pushed away his dinner.
"Endangering my life? That would be a blessing now. To die before I have to give birth to this… abomination you gave me." Riki spat, turning so he didn't have to look at Iason. "This is just another way to mark me as your property, isn't it? You planned this just to make a point that I'm yours. It's something you'd do."
Iason frowned and moved forward, grabbing Riki's shoulders and forcing him to turn around. "No!" He said urgently. "No, I didn't know this would happen. And yes you are my pet, my property. But, Riki, haven't you figured it out yet? I love you!" The head of syndicate didn't often express his feelings, and Riki was shocked, though he tried to hide it.
For a moment there was just silence between the two of them. Then Riki let a sob escape him. Iason immediately gathered his pet into his arms, knowing that he would need some comfort. The two of them just sat on the small bed for a long time, Riki crying his eyes out and Iason hugging him and whispering reassurances.
Finally the mongrel pulled back and rubbed his eyes. "I'm… I'm really going to have a baby?" He asked, not sure if Iason was only joking. The Blondie only nodded. Riki sniffed once and nodded as well. "Sorry about what I said earlier. I was just… extremely angry. I don't think hate you. And I guess I don't hate the baby either."
"I know. It's like every other time you say you hate me. You apologize and ask for comforting afterwards. It still hurts, but I know you never mean it." Iason smiled and pressed his lips to Riki's forehead.
The two of them rested in Riki's room until it was time for dinner. Then both pet and master went to sit in the dining room. Daryl, Iason's furniture, served them, not the least bit surprised anymore. Everyone knew the rumors that Riki and Iason paired, and every night Daryl knew that they ate together.
During the meal Riki was silent, thinking about something. He wanted to go back to Ceres one more time. If only for a few days. He wanted to see Sid and Norris and…. and he wanted to see Guy. One more time before he had this ba-
"What are you thinking about?" Iason asked, eying the mongrel.
Riki was silent for a little longer and then he said, "I want to go back to Ceres."
Iason was surprised. He set down his fork, but didn't meet his pet's eyes. "No. I will not allow you to risk your life and the life of my child."
The mongrel pouted. "Don't be such a tight ass! Come on, I just wanna go one more time. I'm never gonna be able to go back, not when I have a baby to watch." Then he shuddered. "Ugh, I'm going to be taking care of a baby."
"The answer is no, pet, this is not up for negotiation."
Riki slammed his fork down and stood up. "You're an asshole, I hope you know that." He said angrily, stomping off towards the balcony. He slammed the glass door shut behind him and sat on the railing, looking over the city.
Iason finished his meal and stood, walking towards the balcony with no real rush or hurry. He opened the door and walked up to the mongrel just in time to yank an unlit cigarette out of his mouth. "These are bad for you and worse for the baby." He said before tossing it over the edge.
Riki threw the rest of the pack at the Blondie's face, not surprised when he caught it before being harmed. "Look. I just want to go back and see them all. I'm never going to be allowed back again, not with some little snot nosed kid following me around. It'd be like... like saying goodbye."
The Blondie thought about it, but he didn't want to say yes. He was jealous that Riki might like it there and never come back. The usually emotionless Iason looked away and bit his lower lip. Even if Riki didn't want to come back, there was a chance that something bad might happen. Heck, the first day he met him he was being beaten by another gang. What if they found him again? And yet... he loved his Riki and hated to see him sad. If the mongrel wasn't carrying his child then he probably would have allowed him to go. Maybe he would be fine?
After much consideration, he looked back and said, "Fine, but there are a few conditions. I am having some people over for dinner tonight, ambassadors and other influential people. You will perform and you will do it without complaint. Second, you must cut down on your smoking. In fact, I don't want to see another cigarette in your possession until after the baby is born. Third, you will be granted three days. If you're not home but sunset on the end of the third day, I will come out looking for you and you will be punished."
Riki winced. He didn't like any of those conditions, but if it would get him to see the gang again then he would agree. "Fine." He said, a little hesitant. Then it sunk in. "Wait… you want me to perform? What happened to keeping me to yourself and not letting anyone touch me?"
Iason laughed. "Oh, don't worry. Nobody will be touching you. They are all bringing their pets, but you won't pair. You'll do a solo performance. And I know you hate to do it, but when you touch yourself you look so… arousing."
Riki wrinkled his nose, suddenly not excited about having to do something so private in front of Iason's friends and business partners. But he had to do it, he knew the Blondie would force him to it if he didn't go willingly. "As long as nobody touches me." He grumbled.
"I wouldn't want anyone to touch my lover, don't worry." The Blondie replied with a soft smile. Riki sighed and stood up. Then he put his hand on his stomach and leaned back against the railing. Iason smiled wider and moved closer to the mongrel. "You're going to have my child, pet. I don't want anyone harming you and the little one."
"Don't call me a pet." Riki said with a frown. "I'm a human being. Call me your lover, your partner, your friend, call me Riki! But don't call me a pet."
Iason was confused. "But you are my pet. Why would I call you anything different?"
The mongrel stared at him for a moment, the shook his head and walked away. "I have no idea." He grumbled. Instead of going back to his room, he went to Iason's. Most likely he'd be sleeping there anyways.
The Blondie followed him and hugged his pet from behind, leaning down to kiss his neck. "I call you pet because you ARE my pet. I own you. Don't be mad, it's just how it is."
Riki looked away, not wanting to face Iason. "But I'm not a pet. I'm not some docile sex doll bred in an academy for your voyeuristic pleasure. I'm a human, I have thoughts and feelings, and I think that being called a pet is… derovitary."
Iason chuckled. "Derogatory? Fine. When we're all alone and nobody is around to hear, then I might call you 'love'. If you behave yourself."
"You don't like it when I behave myself." Riki said with a raised eyebrow. "It'd make life too easy for you and then you'd get bored." Iason didn't reply to that because he knew the mongrel was right. Though that's why he loved him.
The rest of the day went fine. The two spent it in bed, just snuggling close to each other. Iason didn't regret skipping work; it was too rare an event that Riki wanted to be with him. He almost cancelled the dinner party that night to be with his pet, but that would cause Jupiter to ask questions, ones he didn't want to answer.
That made the Blondie think. Surely Jupiter would find out that Riki was pregnant, she knew everything that went on in her city. But how would she react when she found out it was Iason's? After much debating with himself he decided that he wouldn't tell her. It was too risky, and he didn't want to have his memory erased.
Late in the afternoon Daryl entered the bedroom to inform them that guests would be arriving soon. Reluctantly Iason sat up and got out of bed, going to the closet to find something to wear. Riki snuggled deeper into the blankets to make up for the warmth that left when Iason got up.
"Come on, pe-.. erm, love. Time to get ready for this evening." Iason said, catching his slip. He went to a dresser that held Riki's clothes and pulled out a pair of skintight black shorts that were ripped enough to show off everything and a shirt that was all straps.
With a sigh the mongrel crawled out of bed and took the outfit. He was too tired to even register what he was wearing until it was already on. Then he looked at himself in the mirror and freaked. "What is this?" He asked, turning to see what damage would be done to his pride.
"It's your outfit for tonight. I assumed you wouldn't like to go out naked, so I bought you something to perform in." Iason came out of his closet with perfectly combed hair and an outfit that made him look every bit the lead Blondie that he was. It was mostly red, matching the streaks of red in Riki's "clothes".
The pet started to argue about it as usual, but stopped when he remembered that he was doing it for his freedom. "You're lucky that you have something I want." He said glumly.
The Blondie didn't respond to that, there wasn't any need. He fastened manacles to Riki's arms and legs, a thin gold and silver chain connecting them. It was there mainly for show, the mongrel could easily break the chain with his strength. Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the penthouse. Daryl went to the door to reveal Raoul Am, another Blondie.
"Raoul! I thought you said you wouldn't make it!" Iason said with a smile he didn't often wear.
"Well, when you told me that Riki was to perform, I had to make time. I must admit that I'm quite curious." Raoul smiled and then eyed Riki suspiciously. "How do you live with something like that and not be afraid he'll run away or kill you in your sleep? He is only a mongrel, after all."
Iason sighed and fought the urge to roll his eyes. "Well I've been safe the past three years and Riki's ring prevents him from escaping. Can you give it a rest for at least one night? Just enjoy yourself." He turned and both Blondies walked into the sitting room. There was a small pet following Raoul, Riki didn't even see him because he was hiding behind his master.
The door to the sitting room shut right in Riki's face, making him curse loudly. There was a soft giggling behind him as the other pet found it amusing. "My master doesn't let me say words like that." He said, tossing his head to get his blue hair out of his eyes. This pet was naked except for a blue cloth that wrapped around his waist. Like every pet he was beautiful and perfectly proportioned, unfortunately he was also stupid.
"Mine doesn't let me say stuff like that either, but you think that'll stop me?" The mongrel grumbled, going back to sit against the wall.
The pet's eyes went wide. "You mean you disobey your master? But... doesn't he punish you for doing that? Aren't you afraid he'll sell you?"
Riki was going to ignore him, but he had to say something to that. "He's not going to sell me. I'm too important to him. Besides, he likes it when I'm disobedient."
The blue haired boy didn't have a chance to reply when the doorbell sounded again. Daryl answered and two Blondies came in, each of them with a pet. The pets went to sit by Riki and the boy while their masters entered the study. The mongrel leaned out to peer into the study and blushed when he saw Iason doing the same thing to look out. Their eyes met and the both of them smiled before the door slid shut.
'That was weird.' Riki thought. Then he turned his attention to the newcomers. One boy had bright red hair and very pale skin. His eyes were green, which Riki thought was fascinating. The other pet had brown hair, but instead of being shoulder length like the others it went all the way down his back. The black haired man felt a twinge of sadness, the boy reminded him of guy.
Then a voice snapped him out of his memories. "Hey, I've heard of you! You're Riki the Dark, aren't you?" Said the red haired pet excitedly
The mongrel frowned. "How have you heard of me?" Surely a pet from the academy didn't know about the gangs in Ceres.
"They told us that you were Iason's pet. You're the one who never obeys him and has to be punished a lot! They told us that we were never supposed to behave like you."
Riki twitched. "Who the fuck was talking about me?" He demanded, raising his voice. The other pets moved back about an inch, and then looked at each other.
"You think we'll see him punished tonight?" Said the blue haired one.
"Probably! I heard that he was bad every night! I don't know why someone would want him for a pet if he's so naughty!"
Riki couldn't take any more of this mindless chatter and didn't much like having to think about his punishments. "Daryl, where the fuck are my smokes?" He shouted loudly, hoping the furniture heard him.
"You're not to have any cigarettes, Iason forbade it!" Came the shouted reply from the usually quiet boy. He didn't think that he had to walk all the way over to him just to say that.
"Fuck Iason, that Blondie bastard…" He grumbled. The other pets looked at him and gasped before turning to each other and chatting away again. 'This is going to be a long night.' The mongrel thought unhappily. 'At least it's giving me a trip to Ceres.' But he started to wonder if it was even worth it.
