Fortunately that seemed to be the extent of the questions and his Dom was handing over his card. Charlie nodded to Ivan. "Yes Sir. Charles Fabray Carvalho," he repeated loving the sound of his new name. He was so grateful that his sweet Ivan understood his need to hold on to the Fabray. It was not because he needed to be connected to his father in any way, but he did still wanted to feel that connection to his brothers. And his Dom understood that so naturally. He leaned his head against Ivan's knee.

Ivan smiled at Charlie, his hand caressing the top of his head, then looked back at the other man, watching him finish writing the final details on the paper after he made the fee charge. One final stamp and he was handing the paper over to Ivan. "There you go. Congratulations to both." Ivan nodded and stood up to get the paper. "Thank you, sir. Stand up, Charlie" he told his boyfriend and they both said their goodbyes to the man before walking out the door. Once they were outside the building he picked Charlie up and twirled him around with his feet in the arm, laughing and also crying with joy. "We did it! Look-" He put Charlie down and gave him the paper. "Are you happy, my Angel?"

Charlie looked on from where he was knelt on the floor with wide eyes. The man was asking so many questions. He'd thought it would be as simple as just turning in some paperwork and paying a fee. This was way more full on. He was so grateful that Ivan was so confident in so many ways, including talking to people. When he was mentioned, he looked up and nodded his head vigorously. He looked up at Ivan for approval before turning back to the man and adding his thoughts. "Absolutely, Sir. I want to share a name with my Dom."

Ivan looked down to see Charlie's expression as he responded to their conversation. The man nodded, then pulled out another piece of paper where he started to write what Ivan thought to be the definitive paper for the name change. He asked for the mode of payment for the fee and Ivan quickly reached into his pocket for his debit card. His heart was pounding fast with excitement, seeing how everything was unfolding, then the man behind the desk looked at them. "Order for the family names?" he asked, and Ivan looked at Charlie and nodded. "Charles Fabray Carvalho."

The moment Ivan put the phone down he went quickly to where the first aid kit was and grabbed the bottle of aspirin, then also grabbed the aloe cream from his dresser and put it inside the fridge. Already in the kitchen he grabbed a glass from the cabinet and also orange juice from the fridge. His mind was in overdrive, his main and only concern at that moment to take care of Teddy.

I just forgot! You know how I can get distracted, and Kyla and I were doing stunts in the pool and - I just didn't remember to drink enough.

No wonder you got distracted if you were having that much fun.

Charlie nodded his head to the man in the office. He quickly and gracefully went to his knees next to Sir Ivan in a clearly practiced matter. Any time you had to deal with the system bureaucracy it was hard not to be nervous. They had absolutely nothing to be nervous about of course. This was a common part of the process. Not every claim did name changes, but many did, so this should be quite simple. Still with the nerves churning inside of him, he was so grateful to his Dom taking control of not just the situation, but also him and his emotions. He was able to just hand over that control and just focus on being good for his Dom, for his Ivan.

Ivan leaned back on his seat while the man in front of him took his time to give the documents in his hand a good look. It was somewhat concerning that he was being that thorough, but he chugged it down to a normal part of the process. It was a big legal deal after all. As he found himself relaxing on his seat he placed his hand on top of Charlie's hand and gave it a soft, gentle stroke with his fingertips, his own way to soothe his boyfriend down so he could stay calm.

Charlie shot Ivan his most playful, 'innocent' smile. "I can be such a good boy Sir. The best." He started to lean in when they were called up to the window and quickly instructed to go down the hallway. His excitement jumped up and he reached out to grasp his Dom's hand. He felt a bit nervous. Not because he had any doubts, but only because it felt like such a big and significant moment. Ivan must have felt his nerves and kissed him softly. "Yes Sir."

With one hand clutching the folder with their papers and the other holding Charlie's hand and leash just as tight, Ivan waited until Charlie had walked in and closed the door behind them. "Good morning, sir" he greeted the man who was there and let go of Charlie's hand to shake the other's and he was asked to sit down. "Kneel on the floor, next to me" he told Charlie, a soft but firm tone on his voice, and he sat himself down on the chair and explained to the person there their purpose that day, also handling the folder which contained his own personal papers, Charlie's and the ones the Academy had given him when their Claim was approved. He sat back while the other man checked the papers out, his hand now stroking the back of Charlie's neck gently.

So you’re into romantic gestures and cute memories? I think you're pretty, like they are! I don’t think you’re wicked, and I don’t know about mischievous! Are you? Yeah, something like that. It’s stronger than human blood.

Very much so, yeah, and against my better judgement. Aww, that's sweet of you. Hmm- maybe you just haven't seen that part of me- yet 🤐. I imagine it would be.

Yeah. One time, I survived being stuck in traffic for five hours during a roadtrip with my family by looking up the Panda Express menu on my phone. lol. I’d really really like that! Visiting your home and family is first on the list! What makes you not believe when someone's told you it's a great smile? Almost as amazing as your boobs. Want me to elaborate? I forgot about bathroom breaks. We'll pause the clock during these breaks. lol.

That sounds like a long torture, haha! I know they will love to have you over because you're our dear friend, and that makes you their friend too. You want to convice me? Do your best. That's a wise choice.

“He is.” Kyle nodded in agreement. “He’s the first person I thought of when I decided not to wait for ‘the one’. I knew it would still be special with him.” But it hadn’t happened… yet. There was a pause as the word ‘boyfriend’ was brought up. “I hadn’t thought about that.” It really had slipped his mind that they were, in fact, boyfriends. Or, well, not really slipped his mind. He just felt like he hadn't considered that in all this. “Yeah, I agree.” He answered, apologetically, then watched closely as Ivan worked his hands. “Is it?” For someone that would eat anything, he knew very little about the preparation of dishes. “I already know my opinion is going to be bias.” He joked, taking a bite. “It’s good!” He added, mouth full of food still. “And your birthday’s in August. So, you were born in 1999?”

Ivan nodded. "It's not usual we get to find 'the one' when it comes to first times, and some times, it's not always a good experience; but I know that, when it does happen, it will be special for you, with Charlie." He looked at him curiously. "About what? Us being boyfriends? We are. We were way before we were Dom and sub. Teddy is also Charlie's boyfriend, and mine. We're a modern, happy family!" he said with a soft laugh, then handed Kyle his sandwich and finish his own to eat. "I know it will be, but I will see the look on your face and know if you like it or not. Your face doesn't lie when it comes to what you like or not, or what you want or not." He took a bite at his own sandwich and nodded. "Yeah, pretty much. Why you ask?"
