Izer's Life 8: Free at last
#8 of Izer's Life revised
More shock Horror! Another fast update! I pored allot of energy and effort into this one. And im sorry to all who thought it was over. Still not over yet ^^
Jason Glass grumbled as he walked out the back door of his apartment complex carrying a bag of trash. He hated inspections, the amount of cleaning he had to do was ridiculous. That joined with the fact he Owned his penthouse apartment was pissing him off even more. He sighed as he walked to the bin yard seeing the gate open again.
"Old Bat from two B again" he though to himself. As he approached the smell of vomit raised to his nose and when he got to the gate, he heard the loud, pained and seeming to grow faint sobbing. "Who's there?" he called out and clicked on the light. He threw the bag into the open bin, his eyes fixed on the purple arm laying on the ground, and a few steps away, a purple foot-paw, terribly dirtied and with allot of scuff marks on it.
"Hello?" he called again, the crying didn't stop, but seemed to halt a little, as if it was trying to hush itself. Poking his head around the corner of the bin he gasped, seeing the poor creature making the noise.
"Please..." Izer whimpered softly "Don't hurt me..."
"Oh my god" Jason mouthed and quickly rushed to Izer's side "Oh my god, Wh...what happened? C'mon lets get you inside quickly!" he reached down to grab Izer by one of his arm stumps only to get another sob
"J...Just leave me" he sobbed out "I...I'm worthless j...just leave me to die here..." Jason Lifted him with surprising ease. Izer was in worse shape than he had first realised, extremely thin, and shivering terribly. He had obviously just been sick.
"Not a chance Mister, C'mon your coming inside!" Jason Said sternly, only pausing on his way to pick up Izer's arms and place them gently on his chest.
Jason got into the service lift, not wanting to use the other one through fear of being stopped or slowed down. He rushed into his apartment quickly and placed Izer on the lounge. Izer had sniffled and sobbed the whole way, not slowing down now he was laying on the couch, Jason rushed off returning with a bowl of bad smelling water, a large glass of water with a straw, paper towels, some cloths and his mobile already pressed to his ear.
"Hey its me" he said firmly into the phone "I need you, Now.... NO NOT LIKE THAT!...Consider this an emergency, a critical one... yes, ok ten min's... yeah and bring your work first aid Kit... I don't Care! Ill pay for anything used!... Ok Bye" he turned to Izer seeing his still whimpering softly, his dirty face having clean streak's from his tears. He was shivering badly, and he was quickly starting to drift into shock territory.
"Ok if you think you have the strength, drink this, its some warmed water to help get your body temp up" Jason raised the glass and straw to Izer's lips, and he gave a look of 'its really ok?' getting a nod in return before he let the straw in, sucking the refreshing water into his maw. He drank slowly, and coughed after a few mouthfuls.
"Ok, ok, calm down, easy" Jason calmed him and put the glass down "That'll do for now, I need to get you cleaned up... a shower would make this so much easier... but I cant shower you with this wound, So, I'm going to wipe you down ok? Its got antiseptic stuff in the water"
Izer nodded slowly sniffing.
"N...Not like I have a choice" he mumbled softly and Jason chuckled
"You'll be ok" he said with a smile "I'm gonna clean everything I can ok? Even the wound as best I can before my friend gets here, he has the medical training, but it'll probably sting a little" Izer nodded again and wiggled his arm stumps as best he could
"I'm no stranger to pain" he muttered then rested back again
"Just try to stay still ok? Its hot water, and ill try you off as I go so it doesn't cool you down as it dries . Here this one has been under the bowl, it should be warm" he places a hot cloth on Izer's chest gently before he turned and wet one, wringing it out he started gently on his face getting the dirt off.
"Lets get these loose scales off too, looks like you haven't had a good Sloughing in a while" he continued for a while, getting his head, neck, chest, and arms done before he spoke up again.
"I'm Jason By the way" he said softly as he wiped Izer's sides "Jason Glass, What's your name?"
"Izer" he spoke shortly and sharply
"What no last name?"
"Slaves don't Get last names..." Jason looked shocked at him
"Your a slave?" he asked blinking and Izer nodded
"You'll see when you get to my back" he muttered softly "I'm not worth all this work to save..."
"That's for ME to decide" Jason retorted a little harsher than he intended. He continued his work, changing the water several times and removing Izer's filthy and torn pants leaving him naked before finally he decided to tackle the belly wound.
"Its a good thing this is open, it'll make it easier to get the infection out" he said and gently placed his hand on Izer's chest "This is going to hurt allot, Please, bare with me ok?" the Lizard nodded and then nearly screamed as Jason squeezed the wound softly, a near river of blood and puss oozing out of it only to be wiped away a second later
"Ok, breath" he paused letting Izer wheeze and calm down a bit "ok, and again" Jason was trying to be quick and thorough, getting out as much as he could
"ok, ok, I think that's it" he finally said and gently stroked Izer's head "Almost over Cutie, I just haft to give it a good clean over. And then bandage it, think you can hold on a little longer?" Izer nodded slowly and there was a knock on the door.
"Finally you get here" Jason said standing and walking over to the door and opened it "Good timing I could use a hand here"
"I don't see what was so import...ant... IZER!?" the other voice suddenly yelled out. Izer looked up to the sound of the voice and his eyes widened in shock
"D...Dan?" he whimpered softly "I...Is it really you?" the Tall male wandered over and placed the large bag he had on the floor next to them
"Its really me you Cute Lizard" he said with a smile "Its been so long"
"you two know each other?" Jason asked closing the door behind him
"yeah remember that case I worked a few years ago? Cameron Salt?" Dan said looking down at Izer with a little sadness from how he looked
"HE is the slave you were going to spend your life's savings on?" Jason blurted as he walked over and unzipped the bag, pulling out medical equipment.
"Yep this is him" Dan's hand stopped at Izer's stomach wound "Pass me the optical probe, lets see how bad this damage here is" Jason nodded and passed it over to him
"This will hurt" Dan said softly "But I know you can Take it" he smiled deeply and then gently inserted the device into the wound and looked at the small screen on the other end. "Irrigate it for me, lets get the blood out of the way" Jason pored some water onto the wound making Izer yelp, cleaning the blood out of the way and Dan pushed it deeper with a groan from Izer.
"It looks pretty clean its... its not too...Oh wait... Oh dear" Dan muttered looking at the camera then back to Jason "The stab Missed the vital organs, even his pouch was saved, but sadly, in front of the pouch was his bladder"
"Ruptured?" Jason asked and Dan shook his head
"The...sphincter that keeps the bladder closed has been practically destroyed"
"I'm not getting you" Jason responded
"At the bottom of the bladder, is a ring of muscle that keeps the fluid in until your ready to empty it into the toilet... the Stab was deep enough that it has sliced it clean in half. And while it has healed, its not holding the bladder closed properly"
"So you mean he could..."
"Piss myself at any moment..." Izer mumbled from the couch "Just put me down... I'm no good to anyone any more"
"Oh stop that" Dan responded with a roll of his eyes and then nodded "But yes, that's what it means"
"well at least I was going to replace the couch anyway if he does" Jason muttered and dan removed the probe before grabbing out disinfectant and some gauze bandages
"Ok, lets get this patched up, then finish cleaning him" Dan muttered and Jason nodded assisting as Dan applied the bandaging. They then rolled him over gently making sure to not put too much pressure on the wound. They started cleaning his back before Jason got up and vanished into another room.
"Where did you go? Get back here" Dan called out
"Just a second! Ah got it!" came the response before Jason walked back out carrying something
"I was trying to think of a way to help with the new problem, then I remembered that when grandma passed away, I was left with a suitcase full of these" he placed the item on the floor and Dan picked up up to inspect.
"Ahh Good idea!, But will they fit him? He has a tail"
"So do these, they belonged to my Grandmothers second Husband, he was a Lizard too" Dan nodded and they finished cleaning Izer rolling him back over.
"Ok Hun" Dan started "I know this is embarrassing, but sadly your gonna haft to wear these" holding up the large white rectangle, Izer tilted his head to one side
"Its an adult Diaper" Jason piped up "its better than leaking everywhere" Giving a sigh Izer nodded
"I guess this is what its come to hu? I'm Battered, Broken, and falling apart..." he started slowly "But you two wont take no for an answer will you?" both shook their heads and laughed softly
"C'mon, Lets get you into these before you make a mess, then we will see about these new Arms of yours"
They worked Quickly and thoroughly before finally they had him all diapered up. Dan had gone down to put the rubbish in the skip and then returned. Jason held the glass of water for Izer who was now sitting for him to drink from while Dan tinkered with his arms.
"Hmm, New army tech hu? Looks like its made from simple materials tho, this fluid its leaking is quite easy to replace" he continued to look, examining it closely "It heals itself you said? I guess all we need to do is give it a transfusion of fluid, and stitched up to stop it leaking" he placed it in a large plastic bag and then picked up the other one.
"This one is Ok, it looks a bit grubby, but that's understandable, Ill leave this one with you for now, and get the other one fixed, then swap them so it can be serviced to running properly" Izer nodded and clenched the fingers to make a fist, the arm returning to his side.
"You sure you don't want to get a doctor involved Dan?" Jason piped up
"If I did, he would probably haft to go back on the auction block, here with you, he's safe for now" Dan responded getting up slowly "Give him some food, something high in vitamins and minerals, but nothing huge, I had a look at the Puke while I was down there, Looks like he ate something that he shouldn't have, that and the infection has probably caused him to get an illness. So for now, his stomach cant handle too much" Jason nodded and Izer gave a whimper and Dan chuckled and scratched his chin
"I will be back in a few days, ill bring some stuff to help get his scaled back to a good shine" he said with a smile "YOU get rest, don't argue with Jason, he will take good care of you, and You Go out tomorrow and get some seahorse lizard Multivitamins, they will help Massively with his recovery" Jason nodded and they watched Dan walk to the door
"Take care Dan" Izer called, tears already forming in his eyes again
"You too sweetie, See you again soon" the door clicked softly and Izer whimpered softly.
"Ok... Lets get you some food" Jason said with a smile "and into a more comfortable chair where I can see you" he helped Izer up, getting him to hold the glass, but a few seconds later there was a smash and Jason looked down to see Izer had dropped it and passed out against him.
"Ok...over here" he sighed and helped him into the large recliner chair. He draped a blanket over him and tucked it in tightly.
"Ok...Glass first... Don't want anyone to injure their paws" he smiled and cleaned up the broken glass, making sure to get as much as he could off the floor before making his way to the kitchen.
"Ok so... Hmm... I know, ill make Spaghetti, I can mix allot of stuff into it" he smiled again and went to work.
"Izer sweetie" Jason said shaking him gently and he groaned "C'mon wake up, I know your sleepy, and ill let you sleep again soon, but you Haft to eat something, Dan would be angry if you didn't" Izer groaned again and yawned and shifted forward in the chair.
"There you are" he said with a smile "Think you can handle some food?" Izer nodded slowly and Jason smiled again gathering some on a fork before feeding it to him.
"Chew and swallow, eat it slowly" he mumbled watching Izer chew and swallow the food "More?" Izer nodded and could now get a chance to look around the apartment. It wasn't flashy, but had a spectacular view of the city. Cool white tiles bordered with black tiles, white walls, and a few paintings here and there. Jason kept his constant warm smile, and feeding him slowly till the bowl was empty.
"Ok, Bed time I think, its late" Jason said placing the bowl into the sink and then helped Izer up again "I only have the one bed, but my body heat will keep you warm at least... I hope you don't mind, but I sleep nude"
"I...its ok" Izer said softly "I'm sure I've seen what you have before anyway"
"From what I can remember" Jason said slowly walking Izer into the bedroom "Dan Says you have Defiantly seen something like it before" Izer shuddered softly at the memory coming back up
"Wasn't fun either" he mumbled as Jason Lowered him onto the bed and laid him down
"Here, can you turn your arm off? That way it can charge while in the room, but not get in the way in the bed" Izer nodded laying his arm on the bedside table, he switched it to off and it went limp.
"Done" Izer muttered with a soft grin and then Jason smacked his forehead
"Doh, Be right back" he wandered out then came back a few seconds later with a mug of water, a toothbrush and toothpaste "Open wide you" he said with a smile and put some toothpaste onto the new brush he started scrubbing his teeth, trying to cover as much of every tooth that he can.
"Ok rinse" he said holding the mug up for him to rinse his mouth out with "Don't swallow, it'll upset your stomach"
he spat out the mouth full of water and when Jason came back he was offered a glass of water to drink before they were finally ready for bed. Jason Stripped, and Izer watched him do so. He he could blush he would have as Jason climbed into be with him pulling the sheets up to cover both of them before he turned off the lights.
"goodnight Izer" he said softly and gently pet Izer's chest
"G...Goodnight Jason" he responded and they both dozed off to sleep. Jason slept soundly, shifting over to cuddle up against Izer in the middle of the night. Sadly, While Izer did Sleep, he didn't sleep soundly. Nightmares of his life would come to him at random, and the last thing he saw before he woke up screaming, was the assault he suffered at the hands of his first masters friend. Jason was up with a start as well seeing as there was suddenly a screaming Lizard in bed with him.
"Wh...wha? Izer?" he asked sitting up and turning on the light. Izer was crying hard, tears streaming down his face while his belly was bright blue.
"Shhh shhh" Jason said shifting over to hug him tightly in an effort to comfort him "It's ok, your safe... shhh, it was just a nightmare" they sat for some time like this. Izer sobbing and sniffing while Jason just tried to console him. Eventually his crying slowed to a stop, and a dull whimper as well as a light shaking.
"There, feeling a bit better now?" Jason asked getting a slow nod "Ok, C'mon, lets get back to sleep, I'm on holidays for a month or so so I don't need to work tomorrow, we can sleep in" he slowly lowered himself and Izer back into the bed pulling the sheets up and turning off the lights, all the while keeping contact with him and they eventually dozed off into a fitful, but relativity peaceful sleep.
Waking up the next day. Izer's whole body hurt although he was used to waking up in pain. What he was not used to was the warm, soft feeling of being in a large bed... alone. He looked around and sat up slowly with a pained groan. His stomach hurt terribly, but there was something else bothering him. He looked down to see the diaper, that should have been white, tinted yellow with his nights excrement. He gave a sigh and looked around. He looked out the bedroom door to the main area wandering where Jason had gone.
"Jason?" he called out only to get no response. He sighed, thirsty, sore, and hungry he guessed he should just stay put for now. He looked out of the window to the city scape bellow. The view was spectacular, and anyone on the side-walks looked like ants wandering back and forth. He sat there for about twenty minutes before he heard the front door open. He turned to look seeing Jason come in with a bag of shopping.
"Damn shops not supplying what I needed" he grumbled placing the stuff on the counter. He looked up to see Izer watching him and he smiled warmly "Nice to see your awake again, I would ask if you had a good sleep, but I know better" he walked over and Izer gave a soft whimper
"I'm sorry about Last night" he said softly
"Hey you can't help it" Jason said sitting down on the edge of the bed next to him "you've had a pretty shit life so far" Izer whimpered softly again and Jason hugged him once more and then gently pet Izer's Damp crotch
"Lets get you changed and cleaned up, you need to have breakfast, fluids, and the new vitamin pills I got for you" he gently pressed against Izer's chest to get him to lay down "Lay down, and ill be back in a second to give you a sponge bath and some fresh padding" Izer nodded and laid back down, his belly a light shade of blue and pink from the embarrassing fact he was going to be stuck in these things till the end of his days.
"Although with my luck that wont be much longer" he thought to himself and watched as Jason returned.
Several days later, they had both gotten used to the routine of Izer needing to be changed periodically and his night time horrors. Dan returned as he had promised, with the arm in clean working condition, and this time he had brought a friend with him who was a doctor. His name was Rudolph, he was medium sized, about Izer's hight. His Dark skin was clean and oddly attractive to Izer.
"So" the male said with a smile and inspecting Izer's belly wound "you guys had a look and the bladder has been permanently damaged?" Dan nodded
"Yeah, the sphincter was sliced in two, when it healed, it didn't heal properly and its now stuck open. The only way he is keeping any pee in is the second bladder sphincter, but we both know that's not strong enough to hold it all in" he nodded and poked gently at Izer's belly getting a soft wince and whimper when he poked too close
"Looks like he may have gotten a slight infection. Ill give you a script to help fight that off" he said softly and sat back "Sadly he is going to need to stay in these for quite a while, either till he learns control again, or we work out how to repair the damage. Now a different Matter, Dan has said you've been waking up most nights screaming" Izer Sighed and nodded
"I just keep having Nightmares" he said softly as they helped him sit up "they are usually of what happened with my first master... or of when I lost my arms" Rudolph nodded listening and pulled out a sheet of paper.
"Here fill this out, its a depression test, just answer as honestly as you can" Izer nodded, using his newly repaired arm. Rudolph continued to inspect him while he worked on it. Checking over his scrapes and bruises, checking his chest where he found a bruised rib from being beaten the other night, Even checking the branding on his back with a soft sigh, he even Stitched up the wound on his belly.
"Ok...I'm done" Izer mumbled passing it over to the doctor who nodded and checked through it.
"ok, Well, I'm going to give you a script for some antidepressants" he said circling a few things "They should help you sleep. In the mean time, your not too bad off given what's happened to you over the years... Your branding looks shoddy like some amateur did it, but its Ancient now, and sadly there's no way to repair that damage, your gonna be stuck with that now" Izer nodded and sighed softly.
"Last check tho" he said pulling out a pair of gloves "I need to inspect... down there, We can do this here, or in the bedroom"
"Here is ok" Izer responded "I've nothing these two haven't seen before"
"I've never seen a Nude Male of your kind" Jason piped up only for Dan to give him a whack over the head
"you changed his Diaper's early, how could you not have seen?"
"All I saw was a Slit, I don't know what's in it" Jason said and they all laughed
"Ok, well begin" the doc said removing Izer's diaper slowly "No Sudden Urges get me?" Izer nodded and laid back and waited for the exam to begin.
Izer laid back on the lounge with his diaper secured back up around his hips.
"Well there is some old scaring, but given your history I'm not surprised at that" He said looking to Dan and passed over the scripts "Here, ill give these to you to get"
"U...Um can I ask for something Dan?" Izer spoke up
"Sure what is it?"
"wh...When my third owner... Emily Died... She willed me the book store... and what should have been quite a bit of money..."
"Interesting, You want me to look into it all for you hmm?" Izer Nodded
"She also wrote that I should be freed once I finished my Military career..."
"Ah, that we will Defiantly look into" Jason piped up smiling "In the mean time, you can stay with me. Rudolph, is it ok for him to have a Bath?"
"It should be ok, Apply some antiseptic afterwards, and don't let him sit in it too long, the water could cause secondary infection"
"Well, that means tonight, I can give him a proper wash" Jason said with a smile
Izer relaxed back in the bathtub. His tail drooped over the side as he couldn't curl it enough to have it and most of him submerged in the warm soapy waters. Next to the tub was a the window ledge where he rested the glass of water Justin had given him, condensation running down its sides from the steamy bathroom and the fact it was cool water. The bathroom had the same tiles as the rest of the penthouse apartment. A large diamond shaped shower in the corner had all glass walls and the pipe on a hose. The window viewed out onto the city, which at this time of night, was beautifully illuminated with Christmas decorations and lightings all set up a few months ahead of time and the sunset had been amazing to watch. He had cried from the pain of his wounds being submerged when he first got in, then, when the painkillers kicked in, he cried again just from the joy of his new situation and finally being at ease for the first time since his second owner. Justin had hugged him while he cried, then washed him off before leaving him to relax a bit. His eyes closed, he had dozed off but although not deep enough to dream. He had a smile on his face as he laid contently in the water, his belly and chest scales nearly glowing orange from his almost pure bliss.
"Izer hun" Jason called softly, knocking on the door "Its dinner time, Time to get out... Izer?" he opened the door slowly, and smiled deeply as the saw the look of pure contentment on Izer's face. He wandered in slowly, and grabbed the towel before he gently pet Izer's head
"Wakey Wakey my sleepy Lizard" he cooed softly getting a soft groan "C'mon hun time to get up" Izer's eyes blinked open and he looked up at Jason slowly before stretching as best he could in the bath.
"mmph, H...How long was I out?" he asked yawning and shifting to sit up
"About twenty minutes" came the honest answer "i would have left you longer, but remember what Rudolph said about time in the bath" Izer nodded and took a drink from his water using the straw. His arm was out in the hall, having been left out there for now. He motioned with his arm stumps for assistance getting up.
"Help please?" he asked and Jason nodded, gently lifting him to a standing position then lifting him out of the tub onto the floor mat.
"Lets just pull this plug..." Jason muttered draining the tub then turned to wrap the towel around Izer, Hugging him as he started to dry him off "Wow you got really warm, looks like you enjoyed that bath" Izer chuckled softly and his belly went a slight pink as Jason started drying his lower regions.
"mm, it was great" Izer murred softly
"Well, Lets get you into a new diaper, then out at the table for dinner" Jason said with a smile and escorted Izer through to the bedroom where he placed a new diaper around his waist, fastening it snugly. Before the returned to the table, he put his dressing gown on him to keep the warmth his body had absorbed in.
"Sorry its nothing Fancy" he offered sitting on the other side of the table "Its only a stir-fry" Izer sniffed at it, and his mouth watered and he tried not to burst into crying again.
"Until the other night" Izer mumbled "I hadn't had a cooked meal in over seven months"
"You saying my food's bad?"
"No,no,no,no,no,no" Izer meeped "Your food is Fantastic... its just I... haven't tasted anything so good in so long"
"Well then Enjoy it then, I tried to make it to something you would like" Jason said with a smile and Izer nodded using his only working hand to start shovelling food in only to be told to slow down.
"So Izer, What is your favourite food?" Jason asked, trying to start a conversation, also as an attempt to get Izer to slow down and Chew.
"Roast pork" Izer responded "With roasted Potatoes and carrots, steamed peas, and corn and cauliflower... with crackling and Plenty of gravy"
"Sounds like you know exactly what you want"
"heh, it was a treat when I lived with my second master" he responded "I wander how he is doing..."
"Do you remember his name?"
"yeah, his name Was Fred Moore" Jason nearly dropped his fork
"You were the personal slave of Multi billionaire Fred Moore?"
"Billionaire?" Izer asked slowly "He wasn't that rich when I was with him"
"about two years ago, Lord and Lady Moore, his parents, Passed away and everything was left to him. He made a few good business choices and everything went right for him after that"
"Wow...I guess getting rid of me turned out good for him in the end...Seeing as it was either me, or lose his inheritance"
"Don't say that" Jason said "everyone knows that his parents were monsters. Their company had no seahorse lizards under its employ until Fred took over"
"I still miss him a bit... and everyone else who worked there that I got to know" there was a silence that suddenly fell. Both of them finishing their food at their own pace.
"Anyway" Jason broke the silence finally "Looks like we are both finished, Time for bed, you go get into bed, and ill be along in a moment with your medication and to join you" Izer nodded getting up slowly and wandered off to the bedroom.
A few days later, Dan had returned with good news, and Izer's other arm. Telling them both that he was Indeed freed under the conditions of the will. The book store had done ok, but not fantastic, but Izer was happy it was at least still going. They decided they would drop down to check it all out later once Izer had healed more. His recovery when quickly, and the wound closed fast even tho he was indeed stuck in Diaper's now. Jason had no problem with that tho, growing to call Izer his 'Baby lizard' or 'cubby scales' affectionately. After a few weeks, Izer had recovered enough that he was back to old habits of cleaning daily, and cooking the food. Not that Jason objected but he didn't want Izer to act as a Slave. Jason went out at one point and got Izer a whole new wardrobe as well, meaning they could now go out without his Diaper's on display.
"Jason" Izer spoke up out of the blue one day a bout a month after they had originality met
"Yes my baby Lizard?" he retorted, enjoying the pink change that came to Izer's belly when he was called that.
"Can you take me somewhere?"
"Sure, where do you want to go?"
"I have the address here, Lets go" Izer handed over the paper and Jason nodded.
"Get on your shorts and we shall be on our way" he said getting up and slipping on his shoes.
The Drive was Uneventful...But Jason's reaction when they pulled up at the front gates of a mansion was priceless.
"May I help you?" the dull, uninterested voice asked over the Speaker
"Hi, Security Code Three Nine Omega Seven" Izer said leaning across Jason to yell into the speaker.
"Very good, proceed" there was a click and the gate swung open slowly. Jason drove on, pulling up to the front door of the large mansion
"Izer... Where are we?" he asked Nervously and got out of the car
"You'll See, C'mon" Izer bounded out of the car, racing around to Jason's side and got him to open the door and step in, while Izer waited just around the corner.
"Who are you!?" an angry voice sounded from inside "And how do you know that Code?"
"I...Ummm...I" Jason Stuttered looking up at the man on the stairs
"I opened the gate" Izer called stepping into the room "Although I did doubt it would still work after all this time, you should Upgrade your Security Fred"
"IZER!" Came the excited voice from his former master "I...Is that really YOU!?" he rushed down the stairs, running over to hug him tightly.
"Its me" he said smiling "Its good to see you again after all these years"
"And you...well Most of you anyway" Fred responded pointing to his arms "Come in! Come in! Tell me, who is this Gentleman?"
"This is Jason" Izer said with a smile "I'm free now, and living with him" he pulled Jason into a hug
"H...hello, Nice to meet you Sir" Jason said meekly. Fred laughed and smiled
"Oh please you don't need to fear me, Your a friend of my dear sweet little Lizard, and that makes you an important person to me" he turned and started walking with them both following "Come come, well sit in the study and ill have the staff bring drinks"
"hello Kitchen, bring up the four three four scotch" Fred said into the intercom phone "Yes you heard me, THAT bottle, Make it quick" he hung up the phone and turned to face them
"So, What brings you here?" He asked and Jason pointed to Izer
"Him" Jason said sharply "He never told me where we were going till we got here"
"I see" came the response "Izer?"
"Ill be honest, I don't truly know why..." he said softly "i was happy here... and I know that getting rid of me hurt you too but... I guess I just wanted to see you again, get to be friends again"
"You could have said you were coming"
"But if I did that... you would have pulled out all the stops, and spoiled me rotten when I got here and I d..." Both Justin and Fred Coughed and gave him a glare, a silent warning not to finish the next line. At that point there was a knock on the door.
"Your scotch is here Sir" came the female voice from the far side of the door.
"very good, bring it in" he responded, and the door opened, a single servant wandered in carrying a tray with the large bottle of Scotch on it
"Also sir, there is some more people waiting in the hall for you" She said and he nodded
"Very good, Come in!" he called and the doors flew open as people piled in.
"It's True! IZER!!" came the Joyful Squeal of Kevin, Sarah, Boyd and even Giles as they Piled in to the room.
"Guys!" he called and quickly had to fend off a barrage of hug attempts "wait wait wait! Gently, I'm recovering from an injury"
"What? You are? What happened?" Sarah asked as she hugged him first
"He got stabbed a few weeks ago" Jason said sadly "I rescued him when I found him dying next to my apartment complex"
"Wait" Kevin Paused mid hug and pulled away a bit "We thought you were sold to the military? Why were you on the streets?"
"The decided they didn't want me any more" he said softly "I was damaged goods in their eyes, and it was too hard to upkeep me"
"That would explain why you are so Skinny" Giles said from the doorway, deciding not to give him a hug
"Ok Staff, take the bottle downstairs, and get dinner ready, Tonight you all dine with me" Fred said with a smile "And while they cook, You two can come for a walk around the grounds with me and tell me all about yourselves"
"Oh" Jason called and rushed over to the Butler "Excuse me, Can we get a tall drink of water for Izer please? Doctors orders to be well Hydrated" Giles nodded with a smile
"It will be a Pleasure" he said and walked out.
They wandered the halls for a while, then the gardens. Even going to Izer's Old room, left exactly the way it was when he had lived there. Eventually they made it to the dining room as dinner was about to be served. Plates of Izer's favourite foods placed before them. Although before anyone tucked in, Fred stood with his glass of champagne in hand. It had been a special blend he had selected himself with Izer in mind when he did. The bottle having sat and matured over the years waiting for this day, and this very toast.
"To Izer" Fred finished his small speech "the person that, while he wasn't with us for long, brought a ray of purest sunshine into our lives before he left. A Ray that, now he has returned, has come back with him to light up our lives again!" they All toasted and drank down the champagne, it fruity and sweet with a hint of warmth.
"You know" Jason started as they cuddled up into bed together that night in one of Fred's large guest rooms "If you wanted to stay here with Fred... I'd perfectly understand... I'd Miss you, but I'd understand"
"You dope" Izer said with a smile and pulled himself to hug Jason tightly, his nose bumping against Jason's and his diaper pressing against Jason's crotch "I, am Perfectly Happy with you, and I cant think of ANYONE id rather live with"
"Really?" Jason asked and Izer smiled and kissed him, pressing his lips firmly against Jason's
"Really" he responded and hugged him tightly "Now lets get some sleep, we have a book shop to check out tomorrow" he rolled over so Jason stayed snuggled up to him and clicked off the lights.
