Present:
The two men greeted each other as they sat down at a table in the local coffee house. They were right next to massive window,so the sun was right on them. They sat in deadly silence as they waited for the other to start the conversation neither men wanted to have,but was necessary. They didn't get to prolong the silence much further,though,because the dirty blond haired waitress walked up to their table joyfully.
"What can I get you two gentlemen this lovely mornin'?" She asked with a slight southern accent and a shiny smile.
Donald tried to stand up to order,but Douglas beat him to the punch,shooting up out of his chair. Donald awkwardly sat back down and waited.
"We'll take one Mocha Latte,extra cream and sugar. And one espresso,hold the sugar,please." Douglas ordered smoothly. Donald stared at him with shock and kept his eyes locked on the younger male as he sat back down casually.
"What?" Douglas asked after he noticed his brother staring. He was starting to think he'd done something wrong.
"You remembered my coffee order after all these years." Donald breathed. After every thing they've been through, that made him feel as if nothing ever happened and they were still the same brothers they used to be;Not having a care in the world.
"Duh! We had coffee together almost every day for as long as I can remember us drinking coffee!" Douglas exclaimed like it was the dumbest question in the world. Donald smiled and waited patiently for the waitress to come back. He was glad to have this slight detour from what they had met here for in the first place.
A few minutes later the same bubbly waitress arrived with their coffee's,sparking them to talk. They mumbled appreciative 'thank you's' and slowly sipped on them.
"So..." Douglas started awkwardly. He knew part of the reason Marcus was upset,but why,he had no idea. Donald was quiet for a while,then took a sip of coffee.
"I heard Chase crying yesterday...About Marcus." Donald stated suddenly,but it sounded somewhat sad. He never looked up from his swirling black drink. Douglas was staring concerned at the top of his older brother's head. Taking the silence as a signal to continue,,he went on. "It hurt,knowing that my strong,smart,brave mission leader son was crying his eyes out and I couldn't do anything about it." He got a little upset,then exploded in pent up frustration. "I mean,I'm his FATHER for god's sake!" he shouted angrily, his eyes starting to water up. He calmed down a little bit later after he took a few deep breaths. Douglas knew he needed to get this out,so he didn't stop him. "The kids never let me in,but especially Chase. He's always been secluded and I tried to bond with him more,and talk to him about things he likes,but he never talks back more than necessary to be polite. I just want to be able to help him through things and do stuff with him like I do with Adam,Bree and even Leo. Don't think I haven't tried,because I have. He just never wants to. I feel like,h-he doesn't want me around." He finished,finally stating out loud his feelings on the matter. Douglas simply smiled a sad smile and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm know. I'm sorry. But maybe if you tell him how you feel it'll get better?" He offered, giving him the best advice he could offer. Donald nodded stiffly then looked up.
"Thanks...Dougie!" He blurted with a smile. Douglas returned it with a mischievous grin,suppressing the urge to tell the other man to 'cut it out,'. This made Donald weary,and a little scared.
Douglas calmly responded with,"No problem...,...Donnie!" The two men,who seemed to have matured slightly,just laughed it off.
"Now,about Marcus..." Donald started again,getting more serious. Douglas sighed and ran his hands through his hair and down his face.
"Well,I heard him sobbing in his room,and I-I-I think,no I know why." Douglas took a deep breath,awaiting his brother's response. Donald leaned forward in his chair,waiting for the rest. a long,deafening pause drug on forever,keeping Donald in suspense. Douglas had opened and shut his mouth several times before Donald had gotten annoyed and shouted. "Spit it out already!" Douglas straightened in his chair,and looked as if he was about to go to the electric chair!
In one quick second,Douglas blurted out at lightning speed. And it was LOUD! "MarcusisinlovewithChase!" Donald cleaned his ear out,and he thought he must've misheard.
"Excuse me?!" Donald questioned. Douglas stiffened again,but a little less tense. He sighed,defeated,then restated it.
"Marcus...is... in love... with... Chase." he stated,drawing out each word like he couldn't find the next. Donald was at a loss for words. He was feeling completely mixed emotions. He asked the only question that came to mind.
"Ar-are you sure?" He looked him dead in the eye,not believing what he heard. Douglas nodded,defeated and stiff. But his posture changed as he thought of something.
"But, besides the crying,I'm glad he's found someone to love. Someone he cares about. I mean,I've noticed things,but have tried to forget about them. The way Marcus always stands a little to close to Chase. The way his glances last a little too long on Chase when we come over for dinner. Not to mention all the nicknames and arms thrown across the shoulder. And..." He waited for Donald to take all this information in,and Douglas could practically see the gears working in his brother's head. "If I'm not mistaking,I've noticed..." He paused again,building up the courage to say what needed to be said. " Chase gladly welcoming the intrusions,and even returning the favor." Douglas told him. Donald sat up and pushed away from the table.
"I refuse to believe that! My son can NOT be in love with a boy! Much less MARCUS!" He yelled, then more realization hit him. He remembered flashes of things. Things that should've been bright as day to the inventor.
"Hey,isn't that girl sooooo cute?!" Adam asked his little brother talking about a girl on the TV when they were younger.
"Nah. She's not that cute. She's not my type" Chase had replied much to the annoyance of the elder boy. Donald had shook his head then,but it mad sense.
He remembered another time,after Leo had taken them to school. He was there for a teacher parent meeting,and there was a beautiful,wavy haired blond girl that he'd seen in the halls once or twice before when he came to get the kids out of trouble or get them for a mission,etc.
"Hey,Chase!" Leo whispered and elbowed his brother.
"What?" He asked in slight pain from the jab. his hand instinctively went to hold his side and he glared a little at the smaller boy.
"That girl over there's been checking you for the past ten minutes. You should go talk to her. Maybe you'll get lucky and she'll become your girlfriend and Adam'll stop teasing you about it." Leo told him with a nudge. Chase looked over to where he was pointing to,and saw the girl.
"Ehh. I'm good." The bionic boy told him with a little disgust in his voice and shrugged his shoulders. Leo just gaped at him when he turned back around and continued talking to Bree and Adam. Unknown to the teens,He had been watching from a few feet away. He found it amusing then, but now he knows why he didn't want to ask her out.
He thought about the memories,then his brain switched to what Douglas had said.
"Hey Chase!" Marcus cheered when he walked into the living room for a video game session Chase had set up with the other boy. Chase gave him a small hug and handed him a video game controller. Marcus took it with glee and plopped down on the couch about a foot away from Chase.
After about ten minutes of "Take that!'s and"YEAH!"s and random gaming noises of victory and,some,defeat,Chase had subtly and gradually moved closer to Marcus so he was now only a few inches from him. Donald had noticed this,subconsciously,from the kitchen but payed no notice to it then.
After they were done playing they decided to watch a movie and Chase put an arm over Marcus' neck from behind the sofa;Both boys smiled. Donald had watched the scene in front of him with an odd mix of emotions,so he chose to forget about it. Until now.
Donald raised his head up to meet his brother's eyes. He slowly drew out two words that were some of the most important spoken that day. "Your right..."
Well,that's it until next time my loyal fans! *wind blows in face* you see what I did there? No? yeah ok. It honestly made sense in my head. Remember,Reviews make writers happy,happy writers make more chapters!
