“How stereotypical.”
The brunet man rolled his eyes, leaning against the wall of the alley the two men were waiting in.
“Oh, shut up.”
“Mmhm, yeah.”
Another person walked into the alley, and they were taken aback by his flame red hair. He pointed at them before gesturing over his shoulder and walking away.
“I guess we follow him?”
“C’mon.”
They quickly caught up, and the redhead fell back behind them, nudging them along to a car with a blond sitting inside, in the passenger’s seat.
“In, boys.”
They got into the back, and the blond boy looked at the redhead as he got into the driver’s seat.
“Really Michael?”
“Luke, they’ve been associates longer than you were. Don’t question me. Calum and Ashton are fine, and if they’re not…”
Calum blinked as he heard Michael softly click his tongue as he put his seatbelt on. Luke sighed, and the back seat riders could have sworn that they heard him mumble a soft “Sorry, babe,” as Michael started up the car.
-:-:-:-:-
“I don’t need sidekicks!”
“And I don’t need you getting hurt.”
Luke huffed, still pacing Michael’s living room.
“You added more people to the mob - more danger, it’s dangerous every time someone joins, I don’t need them to help me, I’m not a baby!”
“Luke.”
Luke whipped around to face Michael, who was staring at him with a blank expression from where he was sat on the couch, comfortably stretched out, arms over the back of the couch, one leg crossed over the other.
“Luke, are you trying to tell me how to run my family?”
“No, I-”
Michael stood, slowly walking over to him as Luke froze in place.
“The second you bring up the mob, you can not talk to me like an equal, you talk to me as your boss, I don’t care who you are, the only person who can get away with that is Maria Di Giuseppantonio. Not you. You are barely a made man. If I want to give my employee protection, then I will, and there’s nothing he can do about it. Do you understand me?”
Luke nodded, and Michael relaxed, smiling.
“That being said, you are not a baby. But you are my baby, and for my own selfish reasons, don’t want you getting hurt. Okay?”
Luke smiled, pushing Michael’s shoulder.
“Softie.”
“Don’t make me shoot you.”
Luke just laughed, and Michael smiled, leaning in and kissing him.
“No laughing, I will.”
“But then I’d get hurt.”
Michael hummed, kissing Luke again.
“What a dilemma.”
Luke just smiled, wrapping his arms around Michael, leaning into him.
“So, about my little bodyguards…”
-:-:-:-:-
“Right, so you’ll hit this bank, and it’ll be your last single heist for a while.”
