Because, if Tuck found out his brother had been doing illegal things...he just might turn on his brother. He seemed so good and wholesome that comparing him to Edward almost made him a saint. br /I kind of missed getting to know Edward, he was funny and even though he'd been helping Siler, I couldn't help but to want to be in his company... Something banged softly at my balcony, what? I was at the top of the building so how had anything gotten up here? That had sounded like footsteps, and there was no fooling my hearing after all it was super… I went to the doors and opened them. Hum, nothing? br /I shook my head and closed them before footsteps behind me caused me to spin around ready for a fight. Only to freeze at the sight before me. "Hey." My heart stopped for half a second and I was pretty sure that my mouth was wide open. "Megamind!" He nodded, I looked him over. He looked pretty sickly like he hadn't seen the sun for a long time and gone was the super villain costume and black skinny jeans and a black tee with an electric blue skull on it…and of course black and blue Chucks took its place. br /"I thought…you were dead!" He shrugged; "I was getting bored of the game Michael, weren't you? It was the time I actually moved on with my life, allowed Minion to move on…It was tearing us apart and I didn't want to lose Minion to something I could change." I couldn't help myself, I rushed forward and hugged him. "I thought you died and it was my fault." He wrapped his arms around me hesitantly. "I know, Edward told me that you were mourning me…I couldn't figure what to do all week. Tell you I was alive or let you believe you were the cause of my death..."br /I felt tears leaking down my face, I hadn't ever thought how much I could have possibly missed him until now…He rubbed my back. "You shouldn't be mad at Edward by the way. He didn't think it was something he'd have to bring up." I nodded, But something was quite wrong here. Siler had on the same cologne I was used to smelling around Edward. What did that mean? I mean I knew Edward swung both ways at least-if he wasn't out right gay, were they seeing each other or what? "How close are you and Edward?" I pulled away, I had to look him in the eye for this because one way or another it could break my heart. "We're friends and enemies most days." I frowned, "And lovers?" He blinked and let out a bark of laughter that I didn't expect. "No, not lovers. Why would you even?" I knew something was up. "You smell like him." That wiped the megawatt smile right off his face. "I didn't think your sense of smell was that good." I shook my head, I really never needed to use it before. "It is, why do you smell like him if you're not lovers?"br /He frowned at me. "We are not lovers Michael." I shrugged, he could say that all he wanted but still, he smelled of the other man and God if that didn't kill me just a little bit. I had crushed on Siler for so long and then just realized that I may have a thing for him, and recently Edward as well... "He shared the fact you had a crush on me, Michael, he wouldn't have if he wanted me like that." I blinked and took a step back, oh crap. I hadn't thought about that. Of course, Edward would have told Siler about my little crush, because if you're in the business of information, then that would be a prime little bit of secret for Edward to /"He shouldn't have told you." Siler's thin brow rose, "And why is that?" I sighed; "It doesn't really matter, it never did-we have too much history for it to mean anything." He tilted his head, eyes intent on me as if I was some sort of puzzle he couldn't quite finish. "You know, I think that is the most unselfish thing I've ever heard out of your mouth in all the years we've known each other." Really? I guess, that maybe it was. I'd never really cared about anyone the way I seemed to care about him./p

He smiled, somewhere between amused and thoughtful. "Actually I could come out and say I was alive and not go to jail. I served all my time." Did he serve? What? I thought he had multiple life sentences? "What are you talking about?" br /Now he was amused by the up tilt of his lips, when had I started noticing the little details? "The warden and I were joking, I don't have any sentences, the most I've ever done is property damage and kidnapping that once. Roxanne actually only filed a complaint against me once, then when she was asked after pretty much every other time she continually chose not to file charges." So…what? Didn't he serve any more time? "I guess you could say it was a ruse, the people of Metro city actually wanted a bad guy and they got one." He didn't miss pronounce…what the heck? Had that been a lie too?br /"So, you weren't really as bad as you were painted." He nodded, "I feel better coming out with this actually. I lied to you for so many years, We could have gotten to know each other if you hadn't thought I was really a bad guy." That was true enough. "We could start now, better late than never right?" Though that was stupid, why would he want to know me, I had a crush on him. Surely he was grossed out by that...by me. "That's true, we could. I'm actually surprised with you Michael-You've really grown up." And yet I still felt like a child, this man had tricked me for years. He was more giving than even I was. "Well, I do have one thing to say. Don't be too hard on Edward yeah?" I blinked and well why not? "Sure."/p
