Mini Sides

My Type

*P.O.V. Kai*

   As Nathan works in his office, I sit on the sofa in there because I don't want to be alone right now. Since I can't bother him while he makes phone calls and does video chats, I'm left with the most dangerous thing possible. I stare at him intensely. Just thinking...
   Yeah...

   He actually is....
   I never really noticed that Nate and Ivan are kinda alike...

   I mean...they're both ripped, both attractive, both have cared for me, and both have done something crazy at least once. So they really aren't too different, right?
   Wait...does this mean I have a type? Oh. My. God. I have a type! I never realized until now. Okay okay okay. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. What exactly have they done that's crazy?
   Well I know Ivan's done plenty of things...

~Flashback 1~

   I sat on the back  of his motorcycle as we sped down the pretty clear road. As we were going down a road, I pointed at a couple in a jeep and told Ivan to go faster so I could wave at them. As he got us next to them and I waved, I gasped and saw what the girl was holding. Ivan looked over too briefly and gasped as well.

   I could barely hear Ivan but I knew what his goal was. He inched the bike closer and closer to the jeep as both vehicles went down the road. A moment later, we were close enough and Ivan took the chance to swipe the pizza box out of her hand. As we heard her yell, Ivan went faster as he gave me the pizza box. I raised my free hand in victory and Ivan screamed, happy that we got a free dinner tonight.

~Flashback 2~

   Ivan said he was bored one night and I was too tired to leave the apartment. So he decided to take a walk late that night and I stayed behind. Right before I went to sleep, Ivan ran back into the house and to his room. That's when I watched him leave again with his power-drill. I just shrugged and laid down.

   I woke up to Ivan coming in and making a lot of loud noises. I peeked over the couch then asked where he had been. He refused to tell me and just said to go back to sleep. I didn't go against his wishes and did what he said.

   That morning, I was waken up by Ivan saying it was time to get up and flinging my ragdoll of a body over his shoulder. I slurred out the question of where were we going and he said that he wanted to show me what he did last night. I was still tired so I just let him carry me to wherever he was taking me. When he sat me down, I looked around and didn't see a thing. He stood behind me and pointed my head up. That's when I was met with:

   I asked Ivan if this is what he did last night and all he did was nod. And that's when I said one of Ivan's favorite lines. "Dude...it looks like the government sneezed here."

~Flashback 3~

   "Ivan are you INSANE!" I whisper-yelled at him.

   "No, I'm having fun."

   I facepalmed and said, "At this point I don't think there's a difference for you." Ivan plugged in the clippers and I left, not wanting to be part of his little plan.

   Once he left the room, he instantly grabbed my hand and ran out the door. I asked if he finished and he nodded. "Yeah, but right as I finished one of them woke up." He dropped the clippers and jumped on the motorcycle while I jumped on behind him.

   Later on - as we were just sitting on the roof talking - I stopped and raised my hand for him to stop as well. I pointed over to a corner and Ivan turned to see what I went wide-eyed at. We saw the shadows moving abnormally. I instinctively moved closer and closer to Ivan until I was behind him for protection. Out of the shadow rose both Dexter and Baxter. I couldn't help but laugh as I saw them both with shaved heads, but enough hair to make out the number 1 on Dexter and 2 on Baxter.

   "What the hell-"

   "Did you do to us?"

   Ivan chuckled nervously and said, "Well I have trouble sometimes telling ya two apart. So now you're Thing One and Thing Two." As soon as they took one small step towards him, Ivan immediately turned around and jumped off the roof.

   The two looked at me and I just slowly shrugged. "Hey. You're friends with him too."

~Flashback 4~

   I sat on the couch - enjoying television - when the door opened. I looked over my shoulder and saw Ivan standing there with a small smile on his face and a sway to his stance. "Have fun with Chris tonight?"

   He just laughed then told me, "Yeah...I-I-I got ya som-somethin'..."

   "What?" I asked slowly. He was drunk so this would be good. That's when he opened the door again and picked up some kind of rope. Not but a moment later, in walked a fucking ostrich. "Ivan...what the....How the fucking hell did you find a goddamn ostrich in Valo?"

   "Tha doesn't matter!"

    "Yes it fucking does! Get it out of the apartment now!"

~Flashback 5~

   I  was just talking with Leinna as we laid by her pool and out of the house ran a frightened Seth. He stopped and looked around frantically. Leinna asked what was wrong, but before he could respond, out of nowhere...a giant Elmo tackled him into the pool. Leinna and I quickly got up to help them get out of the water. I got Elmo as she got her husband.

   As soon as I dragged Elmo's body out of the pool, I slid off the head and low and behold it was Ivan in an Elmo suit. "Ivan what the hell are you doing?"

   "I told Seth that I'd get him....and I did," was his answer with a giant smile.

   "Okay. But what's with the Elmo costume?"

   ".....honestly.....even I don't know."

   Leinna stood there across from me with her hands on her hips while Seth had a smile to match Ivan's. I slowly shook my head at her and said, "Don't look at me like that. You had just as much to do with this as I did."

~End Flashbacks~

   Sad thing is, that's not even a fraction of some of the weird shit Ivan's done...

   I look over to Nathan, who is still working on some paperwork. After a moment, I shake my head. "Nah," I whisper to myself. "I don't think I do have a type. Nate would never be like Ivan."

   My whisper apparently was a tad to loud and Nathan looks over to me. "Did you say something Kai?"

   "No. Nothing important." He gazed into my eyes shortly then went straight back to work.
   I wonder if I could make him a little more like Ivan.....
