Sorry for the Wait! Onward to the story!

When Gus went home the first thing he did was research the funny feeling in his heart and tore up his 'destroy the troop' wall, well all the parts with people who weren't Felix. He then pulled out his specially encrypted laptop. He typed in his symptoms and came to the conclusion that he had a heart disease. All that stupid fluttering and missing beats must be some inane disease! But he'd never heard of a disease triggered by a specific person…

Unfortunately all his symptoms pointed to an irregular heart beat that isn't treatable without surgery. Sighing in self loathing he decided it was about time to start getting ready for his date… date… with Felix… *ba-thump ba-thump* oh. There it was again… should he kiss him again? *ba-thump-thump-thump ba-thump-thump* oh dear it seemed to be getting worse. This was a worse reaction then that time his neighbor lent him the wrong manga and he ended up with boy-lo...ve… HOLY KING AUTHUR AND THE DAMN TABLE! LOVE? Preposterous! He was in love with Felix? Oh god… damn now he's conflicted. Should he continue to try and destroy The Troop or should he pursue Felix? He can't do both since Felix is in the troop and he's pretty sure Felix wouldn't leave the troop just because he asked would he?

Deciding that sitting there freaking out over this… new… development was not the right course of action especially since he needed to get ready for the… *ba-thump* date. Quickly taking a shower and carefully dressing in a light blue short sleeve button up that he had been told brought out his blue eyes and a pair of dark grey slacks. Making sure to put on deodorant he grabbed enough money for 2 movie tickets and snacks, also grabbing his keys, rushed out the door was off to Felix's house.

Meanwhile…

Jake was rushing to the movie theater to get a good seat in the back so Felix wouldn't see him spying.(as mentioned in the bonus) Though he wondered if they meeting there or they were coming together… damn he should have thought of that. Why was he such an idiot?

Because he wasn't thinking just like with all his crushes! Why couldn't he have realized he liked Felix when he had all the other boys' attention constantly on him? Right that would go completely against how he normally acted with potential crushes… the blond arrived at the theater and purchased a ticket to the knights movie being held in the smallest theater and chose a seat in the very back to get maximum viewing area.

At Felix's house…

Felix adjusted his necklace until it was securely placed in the hollow of his throat. It was old fashioned and elegant; his mother told him that it had once been passed down mother to daughter in her family for over a hundred years, but when she gave it to Felix she told him that she couldn't have any more children and was sure her ancestors wouldn't mind if she passed it down to her son. He had cried when she said it knowing that even if he had a sister his mother probably still would have given it to him since she had even hung the crest over his crib before his parents knew they wouldn't give him a sibling. It was a beautiful crest of royal purple that had been made into a pendent "Praesidio Omnes" was the family motto written above meaning 'protection of all'.

His mother had told him the stories passed down in the family, which was why he had been so interested in knights and monsters since childhood.

The brunette straightened his shirt once more when the doorbell rang signifying that Gus had arrived early. "Oh my!" he gasped rushing down the stairs.

"Felix honey your date is here!" a beautiful blond called to him. "And he's a looker, if I hadn't met your father and was 20 years younger!" she giggled while Felix tripped off the last step.

"MOM! That is not ok! Hii-ii Gus thanks," the blond boy had caught him before he fell flat on his face. Blushing bright red as Gus stood him up and took his hand to kiss the back before settling their joined hands at his side.

"Thank you Mrs. Garcia, you are beautiful as well, especially to have a son as ravishing as Felix, I now know where he gets his looks from," Gus stated in a polite fashion before gazing at Felix taking in how gorgeous the brunette was. Mrs. Garcia giggled again before fanning herself.

"Oh he's a charmer too! Felix you lucky boy!" she replied, "well have a good night you two," she paused at seeing the crest at Felix's throat and grinned "for luck?" she tapped it directly on the crossed keys emblazed on the top left corner positively beaming.

"yes." He whispered having gained a bright red blush on his face and heading down his neck under his shirt through the entire exchange. He rubbed the back of his neck in a nervous fashion with his free hand.

Gus had been smiling and then noticed the strange necklace the woman had tapped and paused, smile frozen on his face as he recognized it from his father's stories of old. How when their family lived in Britain over a hundred years ago they were tasked with protecting a family, a family with special powers regarding monsters, animals, creatures, and beasts. It had been his life goal since he was young to join the ranks to protect them. But they had separated once the line had only produces females for decades due to a curse from a rival family that wanted to destroy the wards in their care. The reason for the vendetta against the Troop was right in front of him, working WITH the Troop? Was he wrong?

"That's an interesting family crest." He stated, "Is it your family's or did you buy it at a flea market?" trying to be subtle about gaining information.

"It's been passed down mother to daughter in my family for almost a hundred years because they've only produced women until my wonderful Felix here" the woman cooed at her son. "The Ellstwoods used to be fierce creature capturers, and when they started producing only daughters they continued to do so, for a while anyway. It was better that way, when they got married their slate could be wiped clean and the women could escape enemies by disappearing into her husbands family, without the ellstwood surname no one could figure out where they were." She sighed, "It was so romantic at the time."

Felix having thought that the stories were about mystical characters not HIS FAMILY reveled in the new information that monster gathering was in his blood smiled until he realized just who else was getting this information with him. Looking over at Gus he noticed that his hand was being lovingly caressed and the other boy had a gentle smile on his face.

"The Ellstwoods? How odd, my father's mother used to be a Gladwin… before she married my grandfather, of course." Felix's mother gasped, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Truly?" Felix looked confused between his mother and the blond whose hand he still holding.

"Indeed milady." Gus let go of Felix's hand to bow before being rushed into a hug by the other blond.

"Mom! Wh-what are you guys even talking about? Gus?" Felix used his puppy eyes upon the two blonds as they parted. Of course they worked a little too well when they both rushed to explain just what had occurred; rubbing his temples from the sudden increase in noise from them, made a split decision.

"Shut up," he grabbed Gus's shirt and kissed him. His mother squealed and muttered about a camera, before she could snap a quick picture Felix pulled away. "Ok now one at a time tell me what just happened!"

"You kissed me!" Gus exclaimed touching his fingers to his lips in shock before a goofy smile appeared on his face. Felix sighed and turned to his mom.

"Oh honey all your childhood stories are true! And Gus is from a family tasked with your protection! Welcome to the family Gus!" she flounced off leaving Gus to explain during the walk to the movies.
