Rodolphus hadn't seen his brother in a while, but he approved of the heightened security in Rabastan's new building. The harder it was for people to get in, the less likely their father was going to come pay him a visit one night. He rode up the lift after getting his visitor's pass and then stepped into the flat. Bellatrix would definitely have approved of all the leather and dark wood. "Bastan?" he called.

Walden was not as sure about Rabastan's brother as Rabastan seemed to be. He and Weldon stuck together. Even if the brother was older and married, he should have been around more. He stepped into the living room, frowning at the other man. "He's cooking," he growled.

Rodolphus frowned at that. "Are they old?" he asked. "If there are old pictures than I can definitely get the kid taken away from him, but I think we have to wait. Mum's got plenty of time to get rid of it still."

He tapped his fingers on the counter, considering it. "When she's eight months in, I'll find the pictures. Bella is pretty good at keeping them occupied while I steal things we want from their house. Mum fires a lot of maids. Getting into the vault might be tricky."

	"Dad's got a password on the fault. It's someone's birthday, but I can't remember." Rabastan told his brother with a sigh, then frowned to himself, thinking about the pictures. "Some of them aren't old. But, I'm roughed up in them." Rabastan told him. "There are a few where I'm actually passed out and he's..." He winced. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Walden didn't like watching Rabastan struggled to talk about it. He reached out, wrapping his good arm around him and pulling him close to his chest, careful because of his bruised ribs. He glared at Rodolphus, daring him to say anything.

Rodolphus wasn't sure why he was the person Rabastan's boyfriend was glaring at, but he nodded. "He's doing something horrible," he said. "Don't push yourself, Bastan. I'll try all our birthdays the next time I'm there to see if it's one of those. If I don't touch anything in the vault, he won't change it."

	Rabastan leaned against Walden, careful not to hurt him, then closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and calmed himself, then pressed a tender kiss to Walden's neck. He knew the other boy didn't want him to get upset. "I'm okay." He told him quietly, then pulled back to look at Rodolphus. "Yeah. I mean.. Yeah. That could work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rodolphus nodded, reaching out and pulling Rabastan into a hug, kissing the top of his head. "Good," he said. "We'll save our little brother. We just need to get Bella on board with it. You mind if she comes over for dinner tonight too? The sooner we get her on our team, the better. She can meet your boyfriend."

Walden bristled at the label. He wasn't gay, so he couldn't be anybody'd boyfriend, but Rabastan didn't like it when he objected to being labeled. "Fucking invasion," he said, instead. "Not going to be enough food."

	Rabastan looked at Rodolphus, then at Walden shrugged. "We'll order in. And he's not my boyfriend. He's just my friend." He told his brother, then grabbed one of the menus. He ordered some food and glanced back at the two of them. "Walden, how do you want your steak cooked?" He asked, pulling two beers from the fridge and holding them out to Rodolphus and Walden.

Walden took the beer from Rabastan, opening it with his hand. He was glad Rabastan had said he wasn't his boyfriend, except some part of him also wanted to insist that he was. "Rare," he said. "Bleeding. No point cooking it much more than that."

Rodolphus texted Bellatrix, inviting her to come for dinner as well, and opened his beer. "Bella says she'll come. Who knows when she'll show up, but at least she's on her way." He looked up at Rabastan and smiled. "You should give me the grand tour. I haven't seen this place yet."

Rabastan finished ordering the food for Walden and then looked around the flat. "Well. This is the kitchen and dining area." He laughed, then led his brother through to the sitting room. "This is the living room. I'm planning on getting an xbox for Walden and Weldon to have something to do when they aren't doing their homework."

He led his brother up the stairs. "This is Walden's room. And my room." He admitted. "We have our own bathroom. Weldon's is down the hall."

Walden and Rabastan's room. Rodolphus raised an eyebrow at that, looking over his shoulder and then down into the living room to make sure Walden hadn't followed them. "But he's not your boyfriend?"

He reached out, ruffling Rabastan's hair. "Even though your boyfriend is closeted, I'm happy you've got someone who's so protective of you. Did he get those injuries trying to stop Dad?"

	"He doesn't want anyone to know. I mean, he's coming around to the idea of being with me." Rabastan admitted, shrugging. "He's a good person. He's just been fucked over." Rabastan nodded. "Yeah. Dad and his dad. Apparently they're... a thing." He told him quietly. "And they have been since I was little. There's a good chance Walden's dad are in those pictures."

"I remember his dad," Rodolphus admitted. "He came over all the time when we were little, and I've met him since. He's always Dad's friend or his business associate. I probably should have known he was involved in this too."

He took a sip of his beer. "If his dad is in the pictures too, we can put him away. Do you think he and his brother would be okay with that? People get weird about family."

	"I think Walden may get pissed off about it. Yeah." Rabastan admitted with a soft sigh, thinking about how Walden was with his dad. "Not because he likes him. Because he worries about it. His father works in a prison." He glanced over the staircase when he heard the buzzer buzz. "Walden. Get my wallet and pay for the food, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Walden looked up at Rabastan as he walked into the living room, grabbing his wallet. "Fine, I'm getting it," he said, taking a swig from his beer. "You can go on talking to your brother." He got in the lift and pushed the bottom to go down and get the food.

Rodolphus waited until Walden was tucked away in the elevator before speaking again. "If he works in the prison system, he won't last very long as an inmate. It's the perfect way to get rid of him. Prisoners hate guards."

	"I don't know. The man is taller and bigger than Walden." Rabastan shook his head and sighed. "I mean, if they shanked him or something. He may do better in there." But, he nodded. "We can try it. It'll keep Walden from killing him himself. Which would be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Either way, if we get him locked up for touching kids, nobody's going to like him much after. There won't be a lot he can do to your friend, and if he does get killed after, the police probably won't pay too much attention to it," Rodolphus pointed out. "I'm going to get us a really good lawyer, Bastan. Our father deserves to go away for a long time."

Walden came back up in the lift with a couple bags full of food. "Dinner," he said. "The places you order food from are a lot better than the places Weldon and I could afford."

	Rabastan smiled down at Walden before he walked back down the stairs. "I'm glad you approve." He told him. "There are two steaks, but Weldon can eat the chicken later if you want them both." Bellatrix made her way into Rabastan's house and looked everyone over. "Why was I needed?" She asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)
