The boardwalk was a much busier place at night, or at least that what Michael seemed to think. There were more people there than there had been earlier in the day and more things going on. There was so much that he wanted to be able to do. However, there was just one problem: his little brother. Sam just kept following him no matter where he went, like he had nothing better to do. It made Michael feel like he was babysitting. Why couldn't Sam just follow around their mother instead of following him all damn night?
The brunette was actually on his way to a concert that had just started not too long ago, figuring it might be worth checking out. During this time, though, he noticed a group a bikers. There didn't seem to be anything interesting about them. They were probably just your typical biker gang but something about them seemed to get his attention, the pale blond in particular. It wasn't something he could quite explain, but Michael felt almost attracted to the stranger, even staring at him for a few minutes. Unaware of the fact that he had stopped all together, Sam snapped him out of whatever trance he had been under.
"Hello, earth to Mike. Are you even listening to me?" Sam said, causing Michael to shake his head and look down at him, "What gives? You can't just stop suddenly like that and stare. That's just creepy, Mike!"
The eldest shrugged his shoulders but didn't reply, instead opting to move forward in the direction of the concert, unaware of the fact that the very person he had been staring at was staring right back at him. In fact, the blond was watching with just as much interest as he had been.
What do you think Davey? They look like tourists. Think they could make a good meal? Marko had noticed the way David had been looking at the brown haired dude. To him the guy just looked like someone to eat, nothing more. The twerp doesn't look like he has much bone on him though...
David doesn't respond at first. Instead he just continues to stare at the brunette until he disappears from his sight. They don't look like tourists, probably just moved here. I don't know. But I think I want to keep an eye out on the older one, might even test him later. He was completely serious. David could tell when someone was either predator or prey and that brunette was definitely a predator.
The vampire was too curious to just sit on his bike, so he decided to get off his bike and follow his prey. The boys would understand. How would you boys like to mess with Max for little while? I think I'm going to check out the concert for a bit. They knew he could care less about the concert.
It didn't take long to locate the target among the crowd, not since David had picked up on his scent. Even so, he was one of the only ones in the crowd that wasn't invested, wasn't dancing like a maniac. David didn't blame him, the music was shit compared to the last concert they had put on here. But the blond couldn't help but smile as he noticed that the brunette spotted him. He didn't even have to be looking to know, he could feel it. It was the moment that they locked eyes that he knew for sure that he wanted this man.
Eventually tired of keeping his distance, David slowly crept through the crowd until he was positioned right behind his target. His mouth was right by the other's ear, his breath causing the human to shiver. "You must be new here, haven't seen your face around here before," David spoke softly into the ear, just close enough so that only himself (because of his excellent hearing of course) and the brunette could hear. The concert was so loud that no other person would be able to hear anyway. "Enjoying the concert?"
Michael, of course, was startled by the stranger. He'd only been watching him from afar but never had he figured he would get the blond's attention. If anything, he probably came off as some sort of crazy stalker. Imagine his surprise when he realized that the man was staring right back at him. At this point the sound of the concert didn't even matter, not that he'd been paying too much attention to it (it wasn't near as good as he thought it would be.) But then the blond started to move, to which he assumed to leave the concert, only to temporarily disappear from sight. He didn't expect the stranger to appear right behind him. Michael had no idea how he knew it was the man, he just knew.
Feeling the breath made his skin shiver slightly, enough that he was sure the blond would notice. Then there was the sound of his voice. It was so calm, almost comforting in away. For a moment Michael had even forgotten that Sam was still there. Right now he didn't necessarily care too much. However, when he turned around to respond, there was no one behind him to even address. This caused him to be confused as he looked around to find the source, which he could not.
"You alright, Mike?" Sam shouted at Michael, attempting to get his attention over the music. "What are you looking for?"
Michael didn't respond, too distracted to really pay attention to a word Sam said. Instead he moved through the crowd in the search, not particularly caring if his brother followed. Only when they got far enough from the crowd did Michael realize that Sam was still talking to him.
"Hey, I thought we were going to listen to concert? Where are you going?" Sam asked, sort of sounding like that typical annoying sibling, "C'mon Mike! Why aren't you talking to me?"
The eldest finally stopped in front of (unknowingly) a comic book shop and sighed before staring down at his brother. "Look, don't you have anything better to do than just follow me around? Seriously." Michael muttered, raising an eyebrow at his brother. "I'm not your damn babysitter, you know."
Sam appeared mildly annoyed but he also just so happened to notice that they were standing in front of a comic book shop. Almost instantly a grin graced his face. "Yeah, actually, it looks like I do." The youngest said happily and headed into the comic book shop.
Of course, the moment Sam left his side was the time the blond magically reappeared behind him. "Wow, that's some annoying kid brother you have there, does he always follow you around?" the blond said, causing him to jump a little, "Forgive the intrusion, the names David."
The brunette turned around, this time the blond still being there, and chuckled in response. "Yeah, he does that every once in a while, but don't knock him. He really is a good kid," Michael replied as he got a good look at David up close. There was definite attraction but he ignored it. "I'm Michael. Say, you didn't follow me to the concert, did you?"
David didn't bother to hold back a smirk. "And what would you say if I did? It didn't look like you were going to approach me, so I decided to take iniative." David was being playful but at the same time there was a faint seriousness in his tone. "So, what brings you to Santa Carla, Michael?"
The older male draped an arm over Michael's shoulders as he began to move closer to his bike, where the boys were once more. David studied the human, observing his facial reactions, getting familiar with the scent. Yes, he was definitely going to have to test Michael. Never once did his smile falter.
Ooh, it looks like Davey has a little crush already. You sure know how to pick em! Marko teased but David obviously was paying no mind. What do you think, Paul?
It seems that way to me. He's young and pretty, probably pretty stupid though. What do you think, Dwayne? Dwayne didn't respond to Paul, not really having an interest in the conversation.
Michael wasn't sure where he was going but lead David lead the way regardless. "Look, I am sorry, I didn't mean to come off as a creeper. You just seemed like the only person here that isn't batshit crazy," Michael stated bluntly, though opting to leave out the truth, "Ah...Well, you know, parents got divorced and things happened. So we kind of ended up here with my grandpa, nothing too special."
"Well there are plenty of batshit people here in Santa Carla, including myself to some degree, but you get used to it." David patted Michael's back as he finally made it to his bike, standing by the others, "You know what, best move you've ever made. You're really going to like it here Michael. In fact, I'd like to show you around, so what do you say?"
It took a moment for Michael to think it over and as much as he'd like to accept the offer, he couldn't. If he just up and left Sam would freak and possibly tell on him. The last thing he wanted to get in trouble on his first night here. Michael hesitantly shook his head in response.
"As nice as that sounds, I don't think that's an option, I got to make sure my kid brother gets home." Michael looked at the other boys around them, not sure how to feel about them, before turning his attention back to David, "I'll have to take a rain check on that."
David internally sighed at that. Kid brothers were such a pain in the ass. Regardless, he kept smiling and let it slide, after all he was human. Human attachments were also a hindrance. "Yeah sure, maybe another time when don't have that kid brother of yours around. You can always find me somewhere around the boardwalk during the night, kind of our hangout."
As if right on cue, Sam came out of the comic book store with a comic. Funny considering he really didn't have any money to get anything, right? The kid looked around for a little while before finally spotting Michael. Sam somewhat recognized the man that his brother was standing beside. It was the one he'd been staring at, he shrugged.
"There you are, Mike, I couldn't find you at first." Sam spoke up with a smile, "Are you ready to go home? It's getting kind of late."
David and the boys noted the comic in Sam's hands. Vampire's Everywhere. Must be those hunter brothers. Yes, they knew all about them but didn't take them seriously. Really, what harm could kids do? They weren't worth the attention. However, if they proved to be a problem David would do what he had to do. Same with the kid brother of Michael's.
"Sam, how the hell did you get that comic? Mom didn't give you that much money did she?" Michael rose an eyebrow and crossed his arms, "Whatever, don't complain if you get nightmares tonight from that horror comic. And don't think for a second I'll let you get me in trouble." Michael waved at David, "I'll see you around."
The Lost boys looked on as Michael got on his Motorcyle and drove off with the twerp. What do you think of him boys? Think he's worth testing? Of course, the kid might be a problem but we can work around that. It didn't really matter what their response was going to be because David wanted him and David always got what he wanted in the end. See you very soon, Michael.
