She's Mine!

Sang knew something was wrong the moment she heard North angry voice at the front of Uncle's restaurant. Yet again, North was always angry. The voices grew louder as they neared the kitchen where she was at. The door burst open to Luke, Silas, and the very pink and black striped head of North.

"I can't fucking believe you dyed my hair fucking pink just because I took your job! You should've fucking thanked me, you asshole. But now, now it's war and once I get a minute alone with you, you're… fuck". His gaze swept over me sitting on the counter biting my lip to keep from smiling then quickly over to Gabriel washing dishes. "Don't you fucking say a word" he grumbled at him. I had to give props to Gabriel for holding it in so long, but the second the shock wore off he burst out laughing.

"I can't breathe-" he got out before North punched him in the gut. "Hey! I wouldn't punch the guy who's about to fix your hair, I might dye it purple or something." He started laughing again, hysterical. "God when Luke told me...I couldn't… fucking believe it. Oh my god maybe we should just keep it". At this point I couldn't keep my laughter from coming out any longer. I giggled beneath my hand trying to control myself.

"Oh fucking great, you too." His gaze scanned me and then swung back to Gabriel. "You better fix this or I'm killing him. Not that I wasn't before, but if you don't I'm going to revive him and do it again."

"But Noorrth" I started as I climbed off the counter to further examine his hair, "I kinda like it, well maybe not for you-" I giggled as I ran my hand across the pink stripes "-but I want some. Do you have any more dye, Luke?" North grumbled at me and Luke opened his mouth to respond when Gabriel interrupted. He was so angry he could barely get out the words.

"If you...even fucking… think of… dyeing your beautiful hair I will kick… your god damned perfect ass!" He placed himself in front of Luke as if to avoid my eye sight from the bad influence. He pointed at Luke, "Give it to her, and I will kill you." He looked so dead serious that everyone's laughter immediately dried up.

"Uhh Gabriel, I was just kidding. I would never do anything um to my hair without your permission". I started suddenly shy behind him. He spun around and stared at me.

"Good because this hair-" he picked up a strand, "this is mine".

"It's not FUCKING YOURS!" North bellowed. I jumped back on my heels. I couldn't believe they were all overreacting like this. And they actually all seemed mad at each other. "If she wanted to dye her whole fucking body pink she could if she wanted to!" North continued while Gabriel looked like he was about to explode.

"You know I didn't mean it like THAT". A silent communication seemed to take place between them and I wondered what he meant. Maybe North thought Gabriel was being possessive of me. But why? They always used to tease him about it before, so what was the big deal now? And then I realized why everyone was so upset. When Gabriel had said it this time, he hadn't had a smile on his face. He was being serious. Gabriel sighed as he looked towards the ceiling " You know what? I can't work today. Tell Uncle I have this condition called 'Not doing whatever the hell North wants all the time'." He slipped off his apron, threw it on the sink, and stormed towards the door.

"Gabriel…" I started suddenly feeling bad for what I had just been a part of. He stopped before exiting and without turning around mumbled to me to not touch my hair. He left then and I could hear the sound of the restaurant door slamming behind him.

"See North, it's not just me, you're always pissing people off" He smiled as he said it as if trying to rid the room of tension but it had the opposite effect. Without a second to spare, North turned on Luke and punched him in the face, right on his left cheek. I gasped and as he brought up another fist I moved my hand to stop it. Silas swiped me around the waist before I could get within reach and held me against his chest. He shouted at North to control himself and then looked down on me.

"Never put yourself between a fight, Sang. You could get hurt, especially with one that includes North. He's not as cute and cuddly as he looks on the outside you know." I looked up at Silas and gently smiled. Cute, cuddly, and North didn't belong in the same sentence. Luke was glaring at North, probably thinking about his options of whether or not he wanted to punch North back. He must have decided on the latter because he turned towards the freezer to retrieve an ice pack. North was breathing heavily but actually looked ashamed for a second. The look faded away and he replaced it with a poker face, "I'm going to go fucking dye my hair" he glanced at me before he left as if to see my reaction and I quickly looked down. North hadn't scared me then but I didn't want him to think I was okay with him hitting Luke. I wondered what had Luke done to deserve the punch or better yet what North had done for Luke to get upset.

Silas was squeezing me from behind as I thought. "Aggele mou, do not worry, they always do this" I could feel his smile behind me, "Luke always gets North back for the punch too. Sometimes I think Luke knows the best revenge." He chuckled behind me and let go. He pressed his lips to the top of my head and kissed briefly before turning to grab an apron. I hopped back onto the counter to resume cutting the strawberries. I was just popping one into my mouth when Luke returned. He paused for a second watching me and then grinned mischieviously. He hid it from Silas when he had to pass him to get to me.

"You know what strawberries taste great with?" He didn't wait for my answer instead shoving a jar of Hershey's chocolate towards me. I dipped a strawberry in the chocolate and bit into it. "Yumm" I said around my chewing. The kitchen door opened again to North and his Uncle. His Uncle shook his head at us and retreated to the grill to cook some orders. "Try not to eat all the ingredients or we will have nothing to make the food for the people who are actually buying it.

"Sorry Uncle, Sang just didn't have dinner and she looks like she's starving." I rolled my eyes at his way of putting the blame on me and then saw the same grin from earlier cross his face. He handed the jar of chocolate to me and dug around for a spoon. After dipping his spoon in the jar he slowly ate the chocolate and then reached in again for another spoonful. Around me I noticed Silas looking at Luke with furrowed eyebrows. North had stopped whatever he was doing as well to glance up over at us. "Sang-" Luke started bringing my gaze back to him. "Do you want some?" He smiled at me in a way that didn't allow me to say no.

"Uh sure" I said just as he put another spoonful into his mouth, obviously pleased with my answer. I started to roll my eyes at the trick of him offering me and then eating the food himself when he moved closer to me. In one swift move Luke had placed his lips over my own and gently pried my mouth open with his tongue. In the next moment I tasted chocolate. I was so shocked I stayed frozen beneath him, not understanding what was going on. "Get the FUCK off her now!" North shouted. I had never heard him so angry. Luke brought his mouth up from mine and turned to smirk at North. "Don't tell me what to do to MY girlfriend." At that statement all hell broke loose as some would say. North tackled Luke to the ground, and Silas looked as if he wanted to cheer North on, but turning to see Uncle's face decided to split them apart. Flying fists were everywhere and it seemed like Silas had got included into the fight through a punch to the nose. I didn't know where to look or how to help. I peeked a glance at Uncle and he was walking around the kitchen to stand before the shuffle, shaking he was so angry. "Stop this, this instant!" He yelled. The boys immediately recollected themselves and stared at Uncle. I had thought Mr. Blackbourne's glares were scary. Uncle's glare was like scrubbing ice across my spine. "All of you get the hell out, and call in some replacements because I am done" When the boys didn't move, Uncle shouted even louder, "NOW!". Even I scurried out of there as fast as I could. The boys were all tense with each other. A little angry myself I stared into space as the boys called their replacements. Collectively, I heard "She's going with me". Great, now the boys were going to fight about who was going to take me home. I sighed down towards my shoes, but they all heard it. I blushed slightly, but then gained confidence when I remembered what had just happened. "I'm just going to walk home...by myself." They all looked shocked and stared at me open mouthed. I went around them and walked out the restaurant. I knew I shouldn't be mad at the boys, but at the same time I was. I mean using me to get back at North for something was not cool with me. I had never kissed Luke before and he wanted our first kiss to be part of his little act of revenge! Even North and Silas had bothered me with their overprotective nature. I was wondering what I should do to fix the problem and then remembered the one person I could talk to about the other boys, who could help me. I smiled and dialed Mr. Blackbourne. He answered on the second ring.

"Can you come pick me up?"
