Love Remains Love No matter Who We Have In Front Of Us

Next time I engage in a fight with you, fully invest yourself in whatever form I am.

It could be dangerous for you to hold your punches. My father did not defend himself against me and I almost killed him. I don't want to start over, not to mention the sudden transformations that can surprise us at any time, but I made my decision this morning.

It's time for me to take things in hand here, I'm going to do my acceptance ritual and put my wolf side of birth to sleep at the same time. I couldn't keep them like this for eternity, normally I wouldn't have to do this blood ritual ceremony if it had all gone as it should. It's time for me to watch over those who watched over me, since my early childhood.

Are you sure you want to do this? You're not angry with Lyke anymore, because if you're angry it could cause you big trouble at the ritual, I understand that's why he didn't reveal his true identity to you.

Why did people assume you had Fenrir inside you? Who are your parents exactly? And your eyes were bright red when you got mad, not blue. You are a pureblood, how come a pureblood is so far from his native land? I assume to say that you are not American. And don't screw me over, because, despite your best efforts to hide your British accent, I still pick it up when I turn on my hearing.

And I would like to know why you ask so many questions? Why don't you tell me why this real estate tycoon's son is out there like a homeless beggar?

What? You're not serious there, you did research on me? It's not at all nice to do that, you could have asked me the questions, and I would have answered.

I'm not as mysterious and secretive as you who do everything to hide who you are. Now it's your turn to poke your nose into other people's business, right?

Yeah, you would have answered without making up the facts, I imagine you're still eighteen and you're a student, right? What else are you studying? Oh, that's right, I didn't ask you.

How stupid of me to ask such a question. And I'm not hiding my father is British as you say, I have his accent a bit.

Stop laughing at me, you shouldn't have done that. Ok, I just turned seventeen and had to drop out of high school when I was fifteen, I got into fights too often and for stupid reasons.

So, on my last slip-up, I hurt someone and got kicked out of high school for good. So my parents have decided that I will take my lessons at home. Are you happy now asshole?

No, not exactly, I love stories and you destroy them when you tell them so I didn't like it at all. However, I understand you better now.

And what will you do if your parents find you, you're not yet eighteen, as far as I know, right? He says laughing. When I remember the face you made while boasting that you were the eldest in this house, it makes me laugh to know that you made it all up.

You know what Ash, you're a real asshole, under your refined and sophisticated looks hide a real damn bastard.

Howie burst out laughing this time, with Bravael there is no shortage of rude words in this house. He even invents all sorts of insults to get Howie out of his mind when the latter takes malicious pleasure in tormenting him, but he always remains calm, refined, and classy, never swear words have crossed his lips.

On the other hand, he is the king of flirting. he flirts with everyone without him realizing it and sometimes he does it on purpose too. He likes to tease others to make them uncomfortable when they only want one thing to belittle him.

What name are you going to call me again? Howie asks him, taking back his seriousness. From everything that comes to mind and with you my vocabulary grows richer and richer. replies Bravael, glaring at him.

Joking aside, what will you do for your parents? it's something we can't joke about, you're a teenager, we can't keep you here without your parents' consent.

And when I go to class, you stay at home doing nothing, you enjoy my father's company a little more than I have in the last few days. What's more, I don't want my father to be bullied by the millionaires of this country, we are foreigners here. And you're rich like Cresus, who knows what your parents might do when they find out where you are, um?

I left a letter telling them that I had gone to find who I am and that they should leave me at least six months before starting a search, if I don't come back within these six months they can start a search and come and pick me up as they see fit.

Why should they follow the instructions of a little brat who could be a walking target for any psycho who might recognize who he is?

Hey, watch what you say, I'm not a little brat. after all, I'm older than you, you're still just a kid who doesn't even have pubic hair yet. So have a little respect when you are talking to me.

Well, they'll respect it because we have this agreement between us at home, and my dad likes us to take initiative to do things. He may be strict and a hard worker, but he encourages us to know who we really are.

Although, I must have lost myself following my brothers as if I was their carbon copy. I thought that was what would make him proud of me, but until I discovered my mistake, that was what made him distant.

When I wanted to be myself and started to fight back when people mess with me, he no longer looked at me with pity, his gaze on me changed.

My mother, she lectured me, she hadn't given birth to some kind of hooligan, that's what she told me. and I was becoming more and more violent when I was permanently expelled from High School.

My father didn't even scold me, we had a family meeting in which he announced what he and my mother have decided for my future.

Oh, I see that's interesting, Howie replies thoughtfully. Yeah, I love your independent spirit, it's refreshing to have parents who give you time to mess around or make your own choices while waiting for you.

Except that I took mine a little earlier. My brothers left when they were eighteen, they came back four years later.

Since I'm not yet eighteen and I didn't want to worry them so I asked them to wait at least six months.

Great then, at least we have one less load to manage. Would you like us to go to class together?

Hey, do you think this will be possible? Well, yeah, you got money even though you're from another state and I guess you're smart, right? And as they say: who tries nothing has nothing. The Principal, I know how to manage her, she is tough on the outside but in reality, she is really kind-hearted.

Yippee, you are the best Ash! Don't put yourself in all your state, my old man, I'm not promising anything, I'm just going to try. Provided that you answer me sincerely about how my father is, since he came back, I find him a little distant.

No need to blackmail me for that, I was going to tell you anyway. It's like you said, but I think he blames himself for what happened to Alfred, your friend's driver. He blames himself for not being able to protect him.

Shit! Howie shouted, kicking the table in front of him. It's all my fault, I should never have asked him to go out with my dad, and the worst part I don't even know how to tell the boys. I can't even speak to them properly, we've been cold since the incident.

They are going to make up stupid stories and play impossible films in their heads. and there's that too, they use the school's transportation service to get home. They may have taken the blame and their parents are punishing them for it. It annoys me to be so helpless when it comes to things of great importance.

Hey, calm down El shouted back. If that's why you want to do your blood ritual ceremony at all costs, I'll arrest you right away, my beautiful, it's not a good idea.

And why this? I've been fighting Lyke since I was born, because they made me believe, because of that damn prophecy, that I was the perfect host. Just because I didn't show up like all the other kids….

Pfft, and now here we are, here we are. He violently kicked the small coffee table on the Terrace, which flew through the air and landed in the yard.

What's going on up there, shouted Marc? It's nothing Mr. Hucklebury, it's just a bad joke that your son made me, this rascal is going to pay me during his training this weekend, don't worry.

Marc smiled listening to El's answer, this little one is different from the twins, he says what he thinks as he thinks but he still can't call me by my first name as I asked him to.

He does everything to make me smile, he's a real teaser that one, always telling himself funny stories, not to mention the swear words he uses to talk to Howie. I'm just waiting to see his face when he finds out who his friend is.

Be careful, I don't want to pick up one of your bodies off the floor instead of the poor table when you have nothing left to smash.

The boys burst out laughing before going back to their little head to head.

Dad, can you enroll El in high school tomorrow, please?

Oh, are you going back to school petty criminal? Asked Marc laughing… Mister Huckleberry oh, I'm not a delinquent, I've just been violent in the past and it was special circumstances. Today I am a new man.

Yeah, that's it! A new man my ass, step in Howie… you are and will remain a little runt delinquent.

Oh! Sir, it's not my fault if the princess starts to say rude words… Marc doesn't intervene, a sad smile draws on his lips and he cuts off his long-distance listening.

Since he came back, he hasn't met the twins yet, and strangely he wants to see them, he misses them. Not to mention the guilt that gnaws at him for Alfred's death.

Howie went to lie down on the sofa, placing his arms under his head. Why don't you talk to them, is it because of Alfred or the video of you that made the buzz at the lysée?

A little both answered Howie candidly. I feel guilty for these events that happen in their lives, they were always impeccable, and no one could approach them if it was not their will.

They follow their classes and talk in class when necessary but you will never find them with others laughing or discussing unimportant things.

And in a few months, I screwed everything up, I should have stayed in my corner and not interfered in their lives. Today they will always have the only person with whom they share a semblance of familiarity even if he has never exceeded his limits. He watched over them like his little brothers and they loved him like their big brother even if they never say so.

I ripped their big brother from them and their reputation with it. Now the whole school thinks I'm dating the two brothers. the worst are these coarse and vulgar words that have been used.

It's okay if I'm dating one or both of them, although I think it's kind of unhealthy to date two brothers at the same time. but doing it for money is the worst bullshit I've ever heard.

they called us faggots on the platform is really a low blow. I didn't expect better from that old bastard Todd anyway.

He dared to say that I prostitute myself, what a fool! He really is his mother's son, that asshole.

Hey, hey, intervenes El who was listening until then without saying anything. You don't think you're going a bit too far there on vocabulary, my friend? If you're so mad at him and feel sorry for the boys why don't you talk to them, and tell that bastard Todd about your thoughts?

Dude, if I have to tell the bottom of my thoughts to that rascal Todd, I can assure you that he will hear me for centuries repeating them to him again and again until he dies. He's pissing me off that's why I haven't talked to him, I'm afraid I'll go out of my way and do some regrettable things. He might mess with me, but not the boys. And if their parents find out about all this, who knows what they might put them through?

Wow, do you like them that much? They're my friends, man, and the only ones I've ever had, even though I do everything I can to push them away, they're still important to me.

In that case, why not enjoy the present moment? Let them come to you and do whatever you can do for them until you can take a lot more action. Maybe one day you'll end up protecting them from what they're afraid of.

You don't have to wait for the perfect moment to take big actions, small ones matter even more. Put yourself in their shoes, they must feel alone.

And you're their only friend, so be there for them. My father, even when he works a lot, he creates opportunities to spend time with his wife... my mom, he brings her flowers, not a lot, just a stem, he makes her breakfast in the morning.

Mom doesn't work but taking care of the three of us is not an easy task let alone for my father. He is capricious and difficult. Sometimes he gives me a headache. And he's worse than the three of us put together when he gets down to it.

Your family seems wonderful, if only they had that chance Howie whispered. You brought up an important point, you're right I shouldn't leave them alone… what's wrong with loving someone of the same gender as yourself?

No, it's not what matters, after all, it's the person you have in front of you. So you were ashamed because he posted this video saying you're sleeping with the twins for profit because they're unhappy and have no friends?

No, what a stupid idea? I was only scared for them, who I love or kiss or sleep with is just my damn business. But that son of a bitch shouldn't have said those shit about them.

A smile appeared on El's lips, he also doesn't care about gender, there is only the person who matters to him but he has only had girlfriends so far.

So you have to fix this as soon as possible. Howie smiled, he turned in the direction of El sitting in a chair nearby. his legs crossed, his white dreadlocks slicked down his back.

They come to his waist, they don't seem to bother him yet mine when they get to that length, I want to cut them.

I've removed spikes twice since the evening. And they continue to grow tirelessly. I will let them grow as they want until they stop on their own accord.

When this one turned to him when he felt his gaze resting too long on his profile. Howie gives him a thumbs up with a knowing wink, for the advice he just gave him.

Your hair, I never asked you... is it natural or did you put the white dye?

Oh, that? It took you a long time to ask me the question, no, I had curly hair like my brothers, real well-defined curls.

Not like when you start curling your hair to look like a lion or a rock star, I'm not sure. By the way, that day you were really sexy. Then he started laughing.

What, why are you laughing, curly hair doesn't suit me?

No no. It's quite the opposite but it's the word I used that came back to me.

You're stupid Bravael, I know I'm sexy, so don't worry.

Ah, the bastard! I think I have to stop talking nonsense in front of you, you're like a child, you learn quickly from others, you take what's bad and you drop the good part. Hear you talk now, huh?

Remember what I told you last time, you're not playing that game with me. and even less now because I know you're just a kid… so go on, your hair.

Ah, his mother's son! Well, my curls started changing colors when I was ten, I got into a lot of trouble at school because of it. Kids are real bastards who can screw up your life in a split second, but luckily I had my parents and my brothers.

At one time, they all dyed their hair white to support me. They spent two years of their lives with white hair.

When I was thirteen I changed my hairstyle when they understood that I was ready to face the rest on my own, they went back to their natural dye. but my brothers took advantage of testing other dyes, each more daring than the other.

It was at this time that I understood that my father does not need an exemplary child who follows in the footsteps of others. They need children who assume, who take risks, and who are not afraid to venture into the unknown. Get out of your comfort zone.

I think it's due to my inner Ursoc because when I transform, they don't disappear like my clothes and my pretty face. My bear face suits me well too although it is unusual. When I first transformed, I didn't understand what it was.

I expected to see a polar bear or a grizzly but no. I had this man in front of me whose face and fur had something very different from a normal man. But I had nothing of a bear, I was a little disappointed the first time than the second time, I saw it differently and I love the image. then I began to wonder if I had the build of the bear I would not be as attractive by transforming myself.

You are a real narcissist. I thought you were more humble… ah, ah! These are your qualities, I'm not so modest, I know I'm beautiful and I accept it.

And you what is the story behind your hair? Them, nothing special, I like them long, that's all.

Hmm, ok but I'm telling you, Apollo wore his hair long too.

Thank you for the information! But my inner is not at all like the beauty that is praised in stories. It was a filthy, deformed creature of very large size.

When I saw it, I thought I was dreaming and almost killed my father. But he explained to me that it was due to the mistreatment I showed him. You know he used A… the twins to get out of my grip?

Really? El hastened to answer, I understand better now he said smiling.

What do you understand better? Nothing, it's nothing… I believe you will have the chance to see it in all its splendor one day because it is a delight for the eyes.

I have seen it so many times in Ursoc's memories. Both forms are exceptionally attractive. You won't be disappointed when he regains his strength.

You promise me that, huh? Yeah, I can promise you that.

Can you make me one of your copycat breakfasts tomorrow morning very early, please? I won't leave you hanging, just one or two?

For three, it will be perfect…
