Their Connection

Family Visit

Tony's POV

It has been a few days since Rudolph had came to visit me. We spent most of our time with some showing some new games that came out recently. Specifically Security Breach(they'd be 18 in 2022, therefore it is canon, do not @ me). He'd also show me some games that he learned from his siblings' partners. Which of course, were card games that I already knew how to play.

I, of course, humored him and would seem surprised. But, he eventually caught on that I knew and I'd have to make it up to him.

Currently, we were on the living room couch, watching television. I easily noticed how much Rudolph loved watching it when I shown him it the first time. So far, his favorite show was South Park... for some reason. My mom was up in her office, catching up on a bit of work while my dad was making dinner. Which, was a very good idea because... he had the better cooking. But, no one would ever hear me say that.

I turned toward Rudolph who looked as if in a trance. I couldn't help but to laugh to myself and shake my head. We were both covered up in a blue blanket that usually hung on the back of the couch.

Suddenly, the sound of the door bell rang. I stood up from the couch and called out to my dad. "I'll go get it!" I looked back to Rudy to see he barely moved and just shrugged it off. I walked over to the door and opened it. My eyes widened to see Freda, Fredrick, Gregory and Anna. Man, they looked very different... and Anna was taller than me? That was different.

"Ah- hello! Rudolph said that we'd be expecting you, come in!" I offered and stood away from the door and they piled in. My dad then walked out of the kitchen with an apron on. "Oh, hello! It's nice to see you again!" He walked up to Freda and Fredrick, giving hand shakes.

"Yes, it is nice to see you too, Bob. Where is Dottie?" Fredrick asked. "She is up in her office. Go ahead and make yourselves comfortable. I wish I had something I could give you guys for dinner, but I'd doubt you could eat anything human."

Freda smiled. "No, we can digest it, as well as taste, we just don't get the same nutritional value and could die when on a diet of human food. So, we stick to cow blood. We would love to have your dinner though, we have blood pouches to feed us so we don't actually starve."

My dad smiled widely and nodded, "sounds good. Please, as I said, get comfortable." And so, that is what they did, they sat down on the Opposite couch that Rudolph was on. My attention was taken from them by Anna. "Hello, Tony. You have grown, haven't you? It's great to know you are safe. Rudolph was literally pacing around with worry that something happened." She spoke with a soft laugh.

I nodded, "yeah. I suppose I'd say I have. You and your brothers have grown the most though, I remember when I was much taller than you!" I joked and she rolled her eyes. "You weren't that much taller than I was."

"Eh... I kind of was. Though, can I look at your nails? They look very colorful." I asked and she held out her hand. I took it and gasped. "Oh! Is that what I think it is?" I asked as I looked up at her. She smirked and nodded. "Yep. After a while, I figured out that I was Lesbian. I think I only had a crush on you because you were the first, non family member I had seen in forever." She informed me.

I sighed with relief. "Well, that's good then. I'm glad. So, did you find a girlfriend then?" I asked. "Yes I did, actually! I've been with her for two years so far! She is the best person in my life at the moment!" I gasped, "well, I'm very happy for you!"

I tensed when I suddenly felt the feeling of someone grabbing my hand and pulling it above my head and away from Anna's hand. "What are you talking about?" I heard the familiar voice which of course, belonged to Rudolph. I looked back up at him with a shocked expression. Why did he pull my hand away from her?

"We were just talking about my lovely girlfriend. So you can stop acting protective." Anna spat with a glare. Rudolph returning the glare and I felt myself choke as the smell of Alpha pheromone filled my nose. I felt weak, I was then pulled from the two by Gregory. "Rudolph, stop it. You are drowning him. Besides, stop being immature, you know how to control your pheromones, so do it."

I had looked up at him and was very impressed with how much he had grown and... he suddenly has a slit eye brow... and a bit of stubble? Huh... he really changed. I looked back to Rudolph who looked back at me with hurt eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It was impolite of me." He said with such a sincere tone in his voice. I just smiled and took him by the hand and pulled him into a hug.

"It's okay, Rudy. Just make sure to calm down." I informed him, he nodded as he took a deep inhale and closed his eyes. We stood in that position until I heard a cough. I looked over to see my dad. "Dinner is ready. Come sit at the table and I'll serve it." He had then went back into the kitchen. I smiled and looked back to Rudolph. "Come in then."

I pulled him along while the rest of the Sackville-bagg family followed us.

Dinner went by smoothly and both Rudolph and I returned to my room. "How about I show you the mall? We'd have to head there around 7pm so that it would be dark but also three hours before it closes so we have time." I suggested as I climbed into my bed.

Rudolph seemed a bit confused. "What's a 'mall'?" I just laughed at his question and patted the spot beside me in which he climbed in next to me. "It's just a building with a ton of shops inside. But I'll show you if you want me to." He frantically nodded. "Okay! Sounds good with me!"

We then spent the night talking, playing board games and such. Until I fell asleep at around 4am. While Rudolph did too at around 6am.
