"Do you have a face under there?" Jack asked as she poked at her food.
"Do you have skin under there? Of course, I have a fucking face. I'm a living breathing sentient being."
"You're so sassy. I absolutely adore you." Kasumi laughed.
"And you're mischievous and I absolutely adore you." Noel chirped.
"How do you and the Turian fuck." Jack asked completely out of the blue.
"Can we please stop this conversation?" Jacob asked in a strained voice.
"Aw is the little Cerberus mutt feeling embarrassed" Jack taunted. "You can't talk with the big kids?"
"No, I just think it's not proper dinner conversation." He growled back.
"Well too fucking bad, I want to know how they do it" Jack sneered.
"I must admit I find myself curious as well." Kasumi grinned.
"The same way 2 human guys go at it." Noel shrugged causing Jack to laugh.
"Have you ever slept with a human or an Asari?" Kasumi asked.
"No." Noel laughed.
"How about other Turians?" Jack pressed. "I mean they are ugly as shit to me but they have really sexy voices so I probably wouldn't say no."
"I've never been with anyone but Xanxus." Noel replied.
"He took your boyginity?" Jack laughed.
"Actually I sold my body to him when I got to the Citadel after being exiled from the Migrant Fleet." Noel answered.
Everyone seemed shocked, but before they could ask more questions they were interrupted.
"Shepard we have a problem." Came the gruff voice of the Normandy's most temperamental Turian.
Xanxus approached John with a glare and an equally pissed varren at his heels. Today was apparently not a day of peace. Noel sighed and turned to face his lover as he sipped water through a straw. Jacob glared at Xanxus as Kasumi and Jack grinned, they were always up for the drama that followed the couple Kasumi dubbed Xoel.
"My right hand just informed me that a shipment of my custom widows has been stolen by some piece of shit Batarian pirate."
"Widows?" John asked with narrowed eyes.
"The sniper rifle." Noel supplied standing from his chair. "Did Squalo say where they were heading?"
"One of Illium's moons." Xanxus said before shifting nervously. "He also informed me that the person delivering the shipment was injured badly."
Noel eyed the turian's nervous stance before a glare settled on his face.
"Who?"
That question sent shivers down the spine of every human present. Xanxus looked his lover in the eye with only mild fear.
"Bel."
Noel took a breath before turning to face John, making the commander freeze up like a rabbit cornered by a wolf.
"Go kill those fuckers." Noel said softly with a look that rivaled an angry thresher maw.
John slowly nodded and made his way to the elevator, giving the Quarian a wide berth.
"Jack go with them. They need a biotic and I don't trust the Cerberus goons." Noel said to the woman with slightly hollow eyes.
She nodded sensing the seriousness of the situation before jogging after the commander. Noel could count on both hands the number of people he cared for in this galaxy. Xanxus was his lover, Fran his baby brother, Lussuria his best friend, and then there was Kenn and Belphegor his children in all but blood. While Kenn had joined him only a few months after the start of the younger's pilgrimage, Belphegor had been with him since he was a child. If anything happened to him Noel would eradicate the group who took him.
"Are you alright?" Kasumi asked carefully.
Noel glanced at the human and gave a nod.
"Yes, I just need to go think for a little while. I'll be in starboard observation."
Noel stood from the chair and left the room with a downcast gaze.
It was some hours later that the door to the observation deck opened. Noel was gazing sightlessly out into the black of space not paying the one who entered any mind.
"The Prince demands that you acknowledge his presence when he arrives governess." A laughing voice demanded making Noel whip around in shock and relief.
"Bel?"
"Who else ushishishishi?" The teen laughed.
Noel jumped up pulling the blonde into his arms. Bel continued to laugh as he accepted the others worried embrace.
"Who hurt you?"
"They're dead now."
"Did Xanxus kill them all?"
"He blew up their ship for good measure."
Noel stepped back to take in the human's bruised face and busted lip. He gently tugged the teen to the infirmary. He pushed him to sit on the bed and stepped away so that the doctor could look him over. He left them and made his way down to hangar deck and upon seeing his turian lover pounced on to him. He hooked his legs around Xanxus' waist as he clung to the black fatigues.
"Thank you."
Xanxus grunted as he wrapped his arm around the quarian.
"I know how you feel about the kid. I saved him because of you but also because he's mine too." Xanxus said as he sat on a nearby cot holding Noel in his lap.
"I knew you loved him, even if he is a little shit." Noel snorted.
"No one said anything about love. I tolerate that little bastard."
"Aw is the big bad Turian upset?" Noel cooed in a baby voice.
"The big bad Turian is about a second away from mauling you."
"Is he? Well, I think he deserves to get a little bite. After all, he bought one of my babies home?"
"Oh Spirits, you don't call them that to their face do you?"
"Course I do why wouldn't I?"
"They're going to have the biggest fucking ego I hope you understand that." Xanxus huffed leaning his forehead onto the Quarian's helmet
"Better they know that now than have someone have low expectations of them later."
"I hate to see what Kenn will be like in a year."
"Beautiful and deadly."
"Please stop."
"Love you too darling."
