The Bodyguard - Final Space || Garycato

Chapter 13

Eating his breakfast quietly, Gary couldn't help but avoid eye contact with the two. He was incredibly embarrassed due to last night's events...
Not only had he sneaked out and made a fool of himself, he ran away from his bodyguards, cried like a child and gave the two more work by making them drive him home

Not to mention...

"Gary" Hue's voice e was heard, his body busy recharging.

The blond awkwardly stood there, Avocato and Quinn had promised not tell Hue but there's no avoiding it since he still had to go home....Even so, the blond tried his best to hise behind Avocato, even if the AI couldn't possibly do anything physically.

Huebert would've sighed if he could, monitoring how nervous Gary was to be found out, it was equal to a child getting caught making trouble

"Gary, you have bodyguards..." Hue seemed to point the obvious, making Gary squeeze Avocato's arm slightly with guilt

The AI was right...Quinn and Avocato were his bodyguards not his babysitter....yet here he was....causing trouble for them

"I don't think you've realized" Hue continued "you are allowed to leave the house as long as they are in your presence"

"Huh?" Gary blinked as he looked up despite knowing that's not where Hue was

"Quinn and Avocato serve to protect you...If you wish to leave, please take them with you" the AI explained "but please make sure it's during their working hours....preferably during daytime"

"W-wait" Gary finally let go of Avocato's arm, taking a small step forwards "so I can just...leave?"

"That is correct Gary" Hue affirmed "do wear something that:" a hologram popped up "covers your face, hair or hides your identity overall" Hue informed, showing examples in the hologram

"S-so..." the blond looked down as if to process it "I can just go on a walk? Outside??" He asked, looking up once again "I can go to...uuh...a cafe? Oh! The butterfly museum?!" He asked a bit more excited

"Yes, Gary" Hue confirmed "as long as you hav--"

"I can go out!" He turned to the bodyguards a bit too excited "like-- like normal people!!" He bounced before gasping as he realized "but...I don't want to drag Avocato and Quinn around"

"That's no problem at all" Quinn shrugged "it's out job" she smiled at Gary, who turned to Avocato to confirm.
Avocato scratched the back of his neck with a small nod in reply to Gary's doubts

"Whenever you feel like going out, just let us know" Avocato said awkwardly, almost in a shy way

And that's how they ended up here, with Gary sat eating breakfast in awkward silence along with his two bodyguards who were sat on each of his side, clearing their throats or simply looking around until their boss was done as they awkwardly drank some tea that was offered to them.

"Gary" Hue, wobbled into the room, Orson tailing behind with a platter and a phone on it "you have a phonecall"

"This early? From who?" The blond lift an eyebrow in question, taking his own phone from the platter, knowing Orson insisted on doing so as to appear more like a butler (which was a but odd in his opinion...though he didn't complain

"Clarance" Hue answered making the whole table cringe at the name "I have put him on hold, would you like to continue with the call?"

"Go on" Gary sighed,  cleaning his mouth with a napkin before he leaned back on his chair.
The call seemed to proceed, on the other side of the line Clarance seemed to be grumbling on about "tasteless on-hold songs"

"Good morning, Clarance" Gary answered with a cheerful voice "Excuse taking so long, it is still early, you see" he made sure to lightly let the other know that he called far too early

Ah! Gary!" Clarance replied "Yes- Err-Good morning. I am calling to say I won't be coming today"

"Excuse me?" Gary's eyebrow twitched for a moment in annoyance but his voice remained controlled and delicate

"Ah- yes! You see I have a guest over" Clarance said hastily, seeming to shush something "yes- important guest, a work guest"

"Oh it's alright" Gary smiled but it seemed to be one forced in order for his voice to still sound sweet "I guess it is understandable, it is quite hard to clear one's schedule for another" he hinted, that it was what Gary had done

"Well if you'll excus-- Fox no, you can't-- Just--" there was some rummaging before mumbling was heard.

Hearing the familiar name, Gary was reminded that Clarance had kids and thus...Gary got an idea.

"Clarance?" He smiled, his voice coming in a far too sweet tone "dear?"

"Wha-- ye-yes?" Clarance seemed somehow nervous from the other line at the overly nice tone

"Do not worry about coming over" Gary crossed his legs, taking his tea in hand and bringing it close as he stirred it, phone trapped inbetween his shoulder "I shall go there myself!"

"What?! Hold on--"

"No need to thank me! I am that understanding and humble, you see" Gary chuckled

"No- yo--"

"I shall see you later today! No worries, I won't interfering much with your guest!" He placed the spoon down

"Gar--"

"See you later then!~" and just like that he hanged up, placing the phone on the tray that Orson held still in place before sipping his tea.

"You know...I thought you'd be thrilled it got cancelled" Avocato, somehow, was the first to speak, Quinn nodding in agreement to his statement

"You have a clear schedule" she said "assuming Clarance was cancelling the meeting from the things you said...wouldn't you rather go somewhere?" She asked, recalling how excited the blond was last night

"Not at all!" Gary stood, fixing his robe "I have missed my friend very, very, much" he batted his eye, turning to go get ready for his day "Feel free to finish your tea! I am going to take a bath" he called, Orson following close behind to assist the other.

The two bodyguards shared an odd look, Avocato shrugged and leaned back, drinking his tea as if drinking some soda from a can, while Quinn looked at Hue for answers

"Don't expect me to know what he is thinking" Hubert said "I'm just as lost as you two are"
