A Slave's Demeanor

[Teesie]

Mihael had kind of noticed that. Lucan cared for his mom of course, but he could tell that his all his heart was with Noah. Noah is possible the reason Lucan didn't give up. He was possible the only thing keeping him hanging on to his sanity. "I bet you miss him don't you? You miss your communication. He's told me that you two have never went this long without talking to one another, but he's really busy. He needs to be focused on more important things at the moment; though he told me to tell you that he'd see you very soon." That's exactly what Mihael had in plan. Was to get Noah and Lucan to reunite. They needed each other. He could tell the love they had for one another. An unbreakable bond.

[b.lueeyes]

Noah looked down, nodding slowly. "Y-Yeah, I...I miss him heaps. I wanted him to come back to France with us; he was gonna get a scholarship with this music academy over there; it was big. But then, he and Mama had this huge fight," He closed his eyes, shaking his head as the thoughts of the screaming, the crashing downstairs as they fought each other, their words cutting. He opened his eyes and crossed his ankles, breathing out. "And...he decided to stay in America. He and Mama haven't talked since, but...I know she's gotta feel something, with...whatever's going on here."

 

The teenager looked up at Mihael, biting his bottom lip. "Look, please; just tell me," his French came through in these words as he felt something rise in his throat. His English was nowhere near as good as Luc's, he had more of an accent even. "Please, just tell me what's happened to him."

[Teesie]

"He's really busy with studies. He was in an accident not to long ago, but he's ok. Due to the accident he fell behind in class. The teachers at the university wasn't accepting the excuse that he was in an accident, therefor he was on the brink of failing" Mihael lied. Of course lying to the teen hurt him, but he couldn't possible tell this kid the truth. It would only make him fear his brother's safety and he didn't want that. Things were already bad as they were.

 

Looking around he asked, "Do you have tea or something I may drink?" He was trying to take Noah's mind away from the subject at hand.

[b.lueeyes]

Noah wouldn't have it. The kid was intelligent; he wasn't stupid. He knew that something here was wrong. His brother's apartment hadn't shown any sign of him being there, he'd stopping in about a week or so ago. He hadn't called, he hadn't made contact in so long...and why otherwise would an agent be here, and why would there be such an uproar with taking him into protective custody if it was just something with studies and an accident?

 

The teenager stood, a serious, almost tired expression on his face. "You and I both know that is not true," he said, his accent clipping on the word true. He ignored the plea for tea. "Stop lying to me...please, just don't."

[Teesie]

Mihael looked suprised. Well he guess he couldn't get pass this kid. "Your brother has gotten in trouble with some bad people. They aren't very friendly. He wanted me to protect you in case they came to harm you." There he had told the kid something. It wasn't entirely the truth, but it wasn't a lie either. He didn't want for this kid to worry too much. He couldn't stand to see those same silver eyes tinted with hurt and pain ever again.

[b.lueeyes]

His shoulder's dropped a little, and he reached up to run a hand through his hair. He'd thought it was something like that...there was no way he would not make contact, ever. "So he's with 'hem?" He asked, his silver eyes darting up towards Mihael as the song changed again, a simple sounding piano solo this time; a kind of low sonata, resonating and soft. Emotional. "He cares too much about other people...he should concentrate on himself."

[Teesie]

"I agree. Though he's fine. Your the reason he keeps pulling through." Mihael informed staring into those oh so familiar silver eyes. This kid was Lucan all the way. They looked so much alike. Mihael heart was racing. Those silver eyes always drove him wild. No! He shook his head. Was he turning into a pedophile. He was already in love with a seventeen year old please don't make him fall for this kid too. Though he looked a lot like Lucan it wasn't Lucan; and futher more he shouldn't even think that way about Lucan. Sighing Mihael let his head down. Was any kid safe around him now?

[b.lueeyes]

Noah bit the inside of his lip and looked down at the CD's in his hands, turning over to the back and looking at the hand-written track lists. His brother's handwriting was elegant; long and cursive, beautiful really. Compared to his brother's, Noah's looked like chicken scratch. He thought about the two CD's, before he came to a decision.

 

"Here," he said, stepping closer to the man and handing him one of the two CD's. "This is...it's got some of his ballads on it, but it's also got some of his more intense stuff. There are a few of his piano pieces on there...I think they may surprise you. He's got layers. And...if you're working how I think you're working then, you'll need to know him. The best way to do that...is just to listen."

[Teesie]

Mihael smiled at the generous thought. "Thank you. I really aporeciate it." he said. The kid was adorable, intelligent, nice and thoughtful. He clunched the CD to his heart. He wondered how Lucan would feel in his arm. How his lips would feel against his in the passion of love. Ugh! What was he thinking? Why was he thinking of this at a time like this. It wasn't the right time.

 

"So you've agreed to come stay with me or do you change your mind? Either way I will have. Twenty-four hour security to protect you." he informed. He wanderes if the kid actually wanted to live with him or did he just say that in the moment of fear.

[b.lueeyes]

"Ah..." Noah said, reaching up to scratch the back of his neck, thinking of how to say it. He wasn't too good with English, but he'd try to show his thanks. "I would...really appreciate it that you've offered your home to me, and I would like to take you up on that offer." He said, his brow furrowing in confusion. He thought that was how you said it. "But please...if you would keep security on Maman, that would be...also appreciated."

[Teesie]

Mihael laughed this kid was so adorable. "Of course...we will protect your mother as well." he said continuing to chuckle. "How long have you lived in the U.S?" Mihael asked. He could tell that the kid wasn't very fluent with english by his structure of words and also his strong french accent.

[b.lueeyes]

The teen had to think about that for a little while. "We came here...maybe six years ago?" He said, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Yes, six. Maman isn't French, she is American. Papa was French, they met while she was on business a little while before frère was born." He breathed out. "Maman thought America would be good for us but...after Lucah turned thirteen, Maman just didn't look at him the same way. Probably...cause he looks like Papa too much. We moved back just a little over a year ago, and I've been back a few times just to stay with him. He gets lonely easily."

 

(Frère- brother)

[Teesie]

"Oh I see." Mihael didn't know french but the contex clues in that sentences gave him a good idea that he was talking about Lucan. "Well Noah Dosier... Shall we get going? I have a job to attend and I don't wish to be late. I will have agents here in less than ten minute to protect your mom." He said making sure the boy wouldn't worry about his mother.

[b.lueeyes]

The young boy bit his lower lip and looked towards the ceiling, thinking for a moment. "Do you...want to meet Maman first?" He asked quietly, unsure about whether or not this was the best thing. "It would not take long, just...her knowing who I would be with may assure her that I will be alright."

[Teesie]

"I'd be honored to." he said. Mihael could see the slight hesitate look on the boy's face. It seemed as if the women wasn't very friendly, but he did want to meet her. Maybe he could find out more about Lucan. Oh and ask for his hand in marriage. He chuckled. That was a joke. He was already married. He couldn't afford to have another spouse that would be bigamy.

 

Smiling Mihael waved Noah off to go get his mother. He wondered how this encounter would be.

[b.lueeyes]

"Oh-kay, give me one moment!" He said, before he turned and set the CD down carefully on the armchair. He placed his hand on the banister rail and skipped up the steps, all the while calling to his mother in French. A few minutes later, there was a commotion at the top of the stairs and Noah came down again, slower this time, and waited at the bottom of the stairwell.

 

"Mihael, this is my mama," He said, gesturing up to the top of the stairs. A tall graceful woman descended the stairs, dressed plainly but expensively in dark tan snacks and a white, hand-knitted sweater. Her long, wavy hair fell in dark brown waves around her shoulder blades, and she carried herself with an air of superiority and power. She turned her dark brown eyes on the man, and hummed, reaching the bottom of the stairs. "So...you're the inspector, right?"

[Teesie]

"Uh...yes. Im the one in charge of protecting you two." She looked a bit like her two sons, but as Noah said Lucan must have looked like his dad more. He gave a friendly smile. This women was intimidating.. She has a superior aura, as if she was a ruler. Mihael had to admit that he was a bit nervous.

 

What would this women say? He also wanted to know all the reasons as to why she didn't like her son Lucan as much, but he would never ask something so personal unless he needed it for a case.

[b.lueeyes]

The woman started towards him, her stride strong and steady. She stopped a few paced before him and looked him up and down, noticing the few lingering bruises on his hands that he had neglected to cover, and seeing the fatigue in his face. She gave the very smallest of smiles and held out her hand, her expression guarded and powerful. "Alice, Alice Copeland. I'm glad to hear we have someone so dedicated on our case."

[Teesie]

Mihael smiled. He had gotten her approval. He shook her hand. Well that wasn't so hard. Her expression was very schooled. Though it seemed as if she was sincere on saving her son. Hmm well this was great.

 

Mihael had forgot to introduce himself. "Mihael Aust Miller." he stated. "Don't worry about anything I promise to protect you two with my life."

[b.lueeyes]

"I am sure," She said, nodding towards him. "If your injuries are anything to do with it, I'd say you've already had to protect one of our family. Am I right?" Alice asked, her eyes narrowing. She had a sneaking suspicion about this entire operation; she knew the kind of people that would have taken him, her son was almost unnaturally pretty. "Rough crowd."

[Teesie]

"Uh...yeah." Mihael answered hesitate. She was suspicious of something, but why? Was it against him? Hm...well it really didn't matter she'd learn that he wasn't the bad guy IF that's what she was thinking.

 

"Mrs Alice how is your relationship with Lucan. He asked. He was just too curious. He wanted to know how the women thought of the one he was in love with.

 

Mihael knew he was asking something personally and he would understand if she did not discuss it.

[b.lueeyes]

"Miss," She corrected im a soft, but cutting tone. "I never did marry their father." Her eyes took him in critically now, and she looked seriously into his eyes. "Lucan in my son, and I love him as a mother only can. Yet he is his fathers son, and that is all I can say."

[Teesie]

Mihael slowly nodded smiling sadly. Lucan is going through a bad time it would be good to have his mother to give him a warm welcome whenever he returned home.

 

Mihael nodded, "Please excuse me. I should be going to work." he glanced at Lucan's chibi. Haha well Noah. "If you would, come brunette." he said teasing him light heartingly. Noah was adorable. So so adorable. He remembered when his sons was this small.

 

Exiting the Dosier...well no the mother wasn't a Dosier so they must have took their father's last name. But what left Mihael confused is that she said Lucan was his father's son. Why is that? Is it because he looked like him or maybe he has a good relationship with his father. If it depended on looks why didn't she treat Noah the same? He looked just like Lucan.... Oh! Noah had mentioned something. He had said that Lucan attracted people just like his father did. That they had that personality of making everyone growing fond of them. Hm...well that explains it.

 

Stepping close to the car he looked toward Noah.

[b.lueeyes]

Noah had taken up the bags that had been neatly packed and stacked against the wall. A small case, and a backpack. He pushed his two CD'S into the backpack and hurried after the man, but not before kissing Mama goodbye. He stepped onto the sidewalk, looking to the man. "I hope you do not mind...I packed."

[Teesie]

"Nonsense. That's perfectly fine." he explained looking at the spitting image of Lucan. "No need to worry either I have security on its way to protect your mother." he informed. The kid had seemed to have a close relationship with the woman. Hm Noah was once again adorable. Climbing into his car he opened the passenger seat.

 

"You could just sit your bags into the backseat."
