The Eversong's Request

Blair and Adam came to a stop in front of the conference room door. Blair cleared his throat and gave a meaningful look. Adam in turn cocked his eyebrow, did this meathead think he would still be subservient?

Blair looked flustered and adjusted his suit before he opened the door himself and walked into the room. 

"Mr. Eversong, I am truly sorry for making you wait. It took me a bit of time to locate our resident expert on the matter of our newly formed 'Mutation Science' division."

Both Arachne and Adam were surprised. 

'When did that happen?'

'What nonsense is that Bald Buffoon spouting? They have no clue what is causing these mutations and they have a 'Division'? How foolish…'

"Mr. Samael I hope you are not wasting my precious time. You approached us for help in regards to your PR nightmare yet you still have the gall to make us wait?!"

"M-Mr. Eversong. I am truly sorry. Adam, get in here and greet our guest!"

Adam was slightly taken aback by the subservient attitude Blair was showing. Usually he was the most arrogant person in the room but he didn't even dare to defend himself from the man in the room. 

Nonchalantly, Adam sauntered into the room in a relaxed fashion. .He nodded his head towards a middle aged man who had a bit of a potbelly standing on the other side of the table. 

He was wearing a gaudy gold coloured dress shirt undone, revealing his hairy chest. He also was wearing sunglasses inside and his thinning hair was slicked back. He was clearly trying to flaunt his wealth through his attire. 

'Who even wears sunglasses indoors? Is he allergic to natural light? Or maybe he thinks his wallet makes him immune to looking like an absolute asshat?'

Mr. Eversong. Pleasure to meet you. My name is Adam Sam—"

"You rude brat! How dare you act so nonchalant around me! Don't you know who I am?!"

'Child…This fool is irritating. Shall we paint the room with his insides? That would be so cathartic~!'

Adam's eye twitched as the man interrupted his introduction, acting as if he was so self important. 

'Let's hold off on that….for now'

'No fun… Just say the word when…'

His gaze shifted to Blair who was hunched over, groveling for the man's forgiveness.

He turned back and noticed that there was someone else in the room. A young pretty looking boy wearing a simple business suit. 

Their nearly shoulder length long hair was tied into a neat ponytail and their hands were on their knees, trying to make themselves appear smaller than they already were. 

'This guy…is really pretty..Is that sorta thing really that popular with girls nowadays? What sort of problem could this person have…besides their father being a certified douchebag?

"So Samael Brat. Can you really fix my Ari? A star like him needs to be ready for their first concert in 2 months time"

"Absolutely SIr! This is why I brought Adam here. He has personally assured me that he will be able to fix all of the young Eversong's issues.

'Hah?! When did I do that?'

"Besides, he has already been experimenting on himself!"

Adam's eyes opened wide as he looked genuinely surprised at Blair's observations, only those who looked extremely closely would notice the scales!

"Before this, he used to pardon my french be absolutely Fugly! Looking at him before caused people to want to gouge their eyes out with their hands. Now he is at least bearable to look at!"

Adam's quiet horror that he had been exposed shifted to anger and annoyance. 

'This bitch! Someone who could blind a man if the sun catches his head at the right angle is calling me ugly?!'

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'

Arachne was cackling incessantly at hearing his appearance being mocked. Adam could feel a bit of heat on his face as he felt somewhat embarrassed. 

"Hmmm. You're right. His face is passable. I could see some ladies would find him appealing. What do you say kid. After this, how about you quit and come work for me. I think I can market you somewhere."

Adam could feel a vein on his head throbbing while Arachne's laughter was intensifying.

"I am sorry Sir but I have no interest in the entertainment industry. If I may be so bold, could we please shift the focus to the main topic of this meeting?" 

"Tch. Fine. My Child Ari has a certain issue. They lack the necessary components to carry on the family line."

Gerard clicked his tongue before he placed one of his hands on the pretty boys shoulder. 

Adam was confused as he replied

"So is it that he needs Testosterone? That doesn't really justify a private meeting like this…"

"No it's not just that…Ari has an unfortunate defect that I–no we hope you can arrange to have fixed via these supposed mutation experiments of yours."

Adam furrowed his brow before he shot another glare at Blair who refused to meet his glare. 

While still staring at Blair, Adam asked Gerard:

"Sir…What is this defect you speak of? I need to know more before I can offer any sort of help"

Gerard grit his teeth, his hand on Ari's shoulders growing stronger causing the boy to grimace in pain. 

"My boy doesn't have the right tools to finish the job"

"What job?"

".....eation"

Adam furrowed his brows, turning his gaze back to Gerard who was looking away while gritting his teeth, the words coming out as a murmur that he didn't quite catch.

"I'm sorry sir. I didn't quite catch that…"

"My son is missing his dick! He needs one if he is to have sex and give me a grandkid when the time arises!" 

Adam felt his jaw was a little loose at that incredulous reveal. Ari looked extremely uncomfortable, their gaze trained on the floor as the blushed fiercely. Now Adam could understand why they looked like they didn't want to be there. 

The revelation caused Arachne to stop laughing as even they found such reasoning unbelievable.

'What the fuck is wrong with this asshole. Missing? The poor child was clearly born without one because they were born a girl! 

'Child…what are you thinking? Are you going to take pity on that child? They are in a cage of their own making…'

'You may be right Arachne. But this child still deserves to spread their wings on their own, even if it's only for a short while'

Adam's lips twisted upwards into a polite smile as he held out his hand. 

"Mr. Eversong…I believe I can help but it will require that I take custody of the young Eversong for the next month or so to monitor their progress"

Gerard frowned, shifting his gaze to Ari for a brief moment before he too held out his hand.

"You have a deal Young man. Start immediately while I work out the details with Blair."

"Yes Sir. Come along Mr. Ari".

'Child you are putting your own plan to the side again. You are too soft'

'Maybe. But even a songbird deserves to spread their wings once in a while'
