The Story of Mitskuni

(Part Two)

By Mitskuni

This is the story about how I came along. About how I came to be, and why I am the way I am.

Mitskuni lived a very happy, healthy, loving life as an infant/toddler. Word had gone around in the village that there was a baby dragon living amongst them. The village was populated entirely by Yoshies, and has been since the village was founded in the 1600's. This was the very first time that a non-Yoshi became a registered resident in the village. This was quite the big deal for the village. When word got out, all of the neighbors rushed over to the Franchi residence to see if the rumors were true, and indeed they were.

All of the neighbors adored Mitskuni. They all begged and pleaded Adonis and Mattie if they could hold him, visit him, set up play dates with their children or even babysit him. Mitskuni was very well behaved around the adults and other Yoshi children. He would always giggle and smile and entertain the adults my just letting them watch him, and he would always share his toys with the other kids and even make them laugh! Mitskuni never minded all of the attention he received as a baby/toddler, he actually really enjoyed it! But the only time that he was the happiest, was when he was with his parents. He loved wrestling with his father, Adonis and playing with his nose, and he loved being in the kitchen with his other father Mattie, helping him cook dinner while Adonis was at work. Mitskuni loved staying in the village and being with his family and friends, but as time goes by, and Mitskuni got older, Adonis and Mattie had to face a really hard bump in the road: school.

"I still think he should attend a Yoshi school!" Mattie says, trying to convince his boyfriend. They had been arguing for weeks about where they should send their precious son to school. But since today starts the second to last week in August, they need to make up a decision on what school to send him to, and soon. "Mattie, we can't enroll him in a Yoshi school! He's not a Yoshi! He won't fit in!" Mattie looks over to Adonis, a little frustrated. "So what if Mits isn't a Yoshi?! I want him to be in a school that won't be a drastic change in environment for him! I want him to be surrounded by good natured children and be taught by really good teachers that want nothing more than to teach, rather than just work for a paycheck!" Adonis sighs and walks over to his boyfriend, placing his hand on his shoulder. "Look sweetheart, I know what you're saying. You want what's best for our child, and so do I. Even though he is being raised in a Yoshi village, he can't go to school with Yoshies. Some of the things in the curriculum just cannot be taught to a Dragon. He needs to go to a school that specializes in giving a dragon what he needs so he knows who he is, what he is, and how to interact with his kind. He can't keep living his life thinking he's a Yoshi." Mattie looks down, coming to the realization that his lover is right. Their son can't keep living in the shadows of Yoshies. Mitskuni needs to find out who he really is. "But... What if they reject him?... What if the kids bully him and the teachers treat him like a freak?..." Adonis' mind quickly flashes back to the night that he found Mitskuni, and the hospital visit that explained exactly what happened, the images churning his stomach and wrecking his heart. He snaps out of his daydream and looks to his lover's eyes, sighing. "That's just a chance were going to have to take, for the benefit of our child..." Mattie nods, finally agreeing with his lover. "Alright... Dragon school it is..."

...and so it began. Adonis and Mattie both go to the closest, highest rated dragon school to home, which was 45 miles north of the village, in the city of Vagli Sotto: NOTORIOUS for being called "the two faced city". The city got it's name because the city was divided in half back in the late 1700's into two cities: Vagli Sotto, which is where all of the middle class dragons live, (middle class dragons are the equivalent to a family with an income of $700,000 a month) and Vagli Sopra, which is where the upper class dragons lived, separating themselves from the lower class. (Upper class dragons are the equivalent to a family earning $1,850,000 a month). You cannot live in Vagli Sopra unless you either A: have an income of about $980,000, or are the heir of an estate worth over $35,000,000. As Adonis reads up on this city's backstory and limitations, he is quickly having second thoughts about sending his precious child to dragon school, thinking about how rich and snobby this place is, and how it doesn't seem at all fitting for any child to be brought up in, dragon, Yoshi, or any race at all. Mattie however, does not know of the cities backstory, or the restrictions. He simply is just going with the flow at this point, trusting his lover's judgement.

As they enter the city, holding Mitskuni's hand, they instantly get looks from all of the citizens of Vagli Sotto, some neutral, some bad, but none of them ever turned out to be good. One lady, as she was walking by Mattie and Adonis, glared at the innocent Yoshies, as if telling them that they should "crawl back into the hole of which they came." Others, gave them a slightly confused look. An some, stalked them for a couple blocks at a time. They felt as if they were in danger. Which was off setting, since Vagli Sotto was such a beautiful city! Marble statues in each plaza, clean streets, BEAUTIFUL architecture, I mean hell, it seemed like a city that would have no crime thriving in it! But judging by the people's reaction towards them, Adonis and Mattie think otherwise.

Finally they reach the school. The school was designed to look like an Italian chapel, carved out of pure solid marble, the property full of fountains and ancient roman replica statues, the property stretching on for street blocks! It was college campus sized, only it was an elementary school! Adonis and Mattie were absolutely blinded by the sheer beauty and size of the school as they proceed to walk inside, only to drop their jaws at how elegant the inside looked! The inside had the same theme as the outside; Italian chapel/Vatican, only the hallways had marble flooring, rose red walls and a gold leaf ceiling, with chandeliers hanging down, illuminating the halls, constructed of gold and Swarovski crystals. Mattie starts to squirm, feeling as if he had died and gone to heaven. The fact of him just being in the building was making him feel like a prince. Adonis, approaching the admissions office, was as nervous as anything. He essentially felt as if he was about to have a one-on-one business meeting with the prince of Dubai. He approaches the secretary, who was a very lovely and fit female dragon by the name of Charlene Abarth. "Umm... Excuse me." Adonis says shyly to Ms. Abarth. "I need to speak with the school's dean or principal about enrolling my son." Ms. Abarth looks at Adonis with confused and judging eyes. "Excuse me? Umm. We don't enroll Yoshies here." Adonis gets taken by surprise by the snappy comeback that he received, not expecting it at all. "No ma'am.. My son isn't a Yoshi. He's a dragon." Ms. Abarth laughs as she hears this tidbit of information. "HA! I'll believe it when I see it!" Before Adonis could reply, the principal shows up behind the secretary desk, putting his hand on Ms. Abarth's shoulders, signaling him that he could take it from here. He approaches Adonis and gives him a stern handshake. "Sergio Dellacamera, principal of Vagli Sotto elementary." The principal says introducing himself.

Adonis relaxes. Finally, a "nice" dragon that he can talk to! He shakes his hand back. "Adonis Franchi, assistant supervisor for the Nissan motor company assembly line in Milano." Mr. Dellacamera smiles in a very "plastic" and "fake" sort of way, nodding as he acknowledges Adonis. "Please, step into my office." Adonis nods and follows, signaling Mattie to tag along. Mattie walks with Mitskuni into Dellacamera's office and have a seat in the conference chairs, along with Adonis. Mr. Dellacamera proceeds to look through Mitskuni's files that Adonis had previously faxed him, a look of slight confusion on his face. He takes off his Versace specs and puts down the papers. "It says here that you have "shared" parental custody of Mitskuni with a... Mattie Borla. May I ask who that is?" Mattie raises his hand cutely, happily identifying himself to Mr. Dellacamera. Mr. Dellacamera looks at Mattie, slightly confused. "And what role do you play in this guardianship, Mr. Borla?" Mattie lowers his hand and sits up cutely, arching his back in a femmy fashion and poking his butt out a little bit, excited to announce his role. "I am Mitskuni's father, or Daddy M, as he calls me." Mr. Dellacamera looks over to Adonis, even more confused. "And you are..." "...Also the father, sir." Adonis replies, rather shyly. "...Or Daddy A."

Mr. Dellacamera's face read of nothing but judgement as he finds out that Mitskuni was the child of a gay couple. Mr. Dellacamera holds his hands on the desk, as he prepares himself to explain the school's "policies" to the young Yoshi couple. "Alright. Well as you may have read on our website Mr. Franchi, we are a free-tuition school, accepting to all dragons. Key word here being dragons. Seeing as though you gentlemen are OBVIOUSLY not the biological parents of this young boy, I unfortunately have no evidence that he is a dragon, therefore, before enrolling him into Vagli Sotto elementary, we need to order a blood test for both Mitskuni, and you."

Adonis and Mattie both drop their jaws, mortified, trying to choke down what they just heard. Mattie starts growing beet red in the face, enraged, while Adonis just sits there in pure shock and disbelief. "EXCUSE ME?" Mattie replied sharply. "A BLOOD TEST?! Why is that necessary?! He is CLEARLY a dragon! He has the wings, he has the tail, he has indications that he is a dragon! And why do WE need a blood test too?! It's apparently "TOO OBVIOUS" that we aren't the biological parents, so why are we being subjected to it?!" Mr. Dellacamera brushed his long white hair back and sighed. "We need to order a blood test for Mitskuni in order to obtain proof that he is in fact a dragon, because I'm not so certain about you, but he looks like no dragon I have ever seen before. Also, we here at Vagli Sotto elementary, have a separate enrollment process for same sex couples. What we do, if your child qualifies for enrollment, is, on top of the paperwork and proof of citizenship and so on, to take a blood sample from both of the parents, to see if they are HIV positive, or if they have any other STD's swimming inside them."

Mattie and Adonis' jaws could not possibly drop any further, as they sit there, astounded at what they have just heard. Adonis stares at Mr. Dellacamera with hateful eyes, while Mattie crosses his legs and clenches his fist on his lap. "THAT'S A GOD DAMN INVASION OF PRIVACY! WHY IS THAT AT ALL RELEVANT TO MY CHILD GETTING INTO SCHOOL?!" Mattie screams, infuriated. Adonis looks over to Mattie, as if scared that his chances of getting his son into school are dwindling in front of him. Mr. Dellacamera sits back and flips his long white hair out of his face, chuckling. "Hey, look, I have no idea what you filthy peasants do on your free time. For all I know, you could be molesting and having intercourse with your son because your significant other is too busy working at a sweatshop, specializing in making cheap, Japanese shit boxes that transport you all from point A to point B on barely a half a tank."

Mattie grips his chair by the arm rests and squeezes them, as if he were about to punch the ever living day lights out of the extremely rude dragon. "WHY YOU LITTLE BI-" Adonis quickly covers his lovers mouth, making sure that he doesn't finish the sentence that he was about to verbally bitch slap onto the principal's face. Adonis laughs nervously and smiles at the principal. "Please excuse my significant other. He's been a bit edgy lately" Mr. Dellacamera snickers and smiles. "Well, I would ask if it's that time of the month, but I'm not sure how that song and dance goes with your kind, so I'll let it go." Adonis bites his tongue, his face turning red, getting very aggravated at how ignorant and rude the principal was being towards him. He puts on a fake smile and holds his lovers hand. "Thank you very much for doing so. Now if you don't mind, I would like to have the blood test paperwork so that way I can have the blood tests done." Mr. Dellacamera smiles and prints out three blood test forms that are to be filled out by the doctor. He hands them to Adonis and Mattie. "Please have these for me by the beginning of next week." Adonis and Mattie put on another fake smile and nod, hesitantly shaking the rude principal's hand, nodding, walking out, clutching their precious son's hands as they do so.

Mattie looks over to his lover with a terribly aggravated look on his face. "WHAT THE HELL! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY STILL THINKING ABOUT SENDING OUR SON HERE?! Their biased! They will undoubtedly treat our son like shit just like he did us!" He holds his lover in his arms and rubs his back to calm him down. "Look. I know it sounds like a terrible idea, but it's the only way our son is going to get what he needs to be a dragon." Mattie looks up at his lover, still aggravated, but not as much as before. "Send him to school so he can learn how to be a snob and an ignorant bastard?!" Adonis shakes his head. "No sweetheart. To learn how to be what he is. He needs to learn how to use the gifts he was blessed with, and learn how to be him. And he won't be a snob. Not while we're the parents. The school isn't gonna teach him how to be a snob. At least not on our watch. And besides, who knows, maybe he will change the way these dragons act around outsiders." Mattie sighs and smiles, feeling better now that his mind is at peace, holding his lover. Mitskuni starts tugging on both of his fathers' pant legs. "Daddy A? Daddy M?" They both look down at their precious son. "Can we go get something to eat? I'm hungry." The two Yoshies look at each other and smile, both of them squatting down to Mitskuni's level. "How about we go get some ice cream and a nice cup of Priscilla soup?" Mattie says happily. "And then afterwards, how about we all go to the park?" Adonis added. Mitskuni nods happily, overjoyed at the offerings and hugs his parents lovingly. Adonis and Mattie both hug their precious child and give him a kiss on both cheeks simultaneously, making the little dragon giggle and smile. They both pick him up and stroll their way to a taxi, to which they will be chauffeured to the city of Derby, on their little voyage to start their family outing.
