Initiation

Tyler

A/N: Got my reading done yay!! I'm including a warning for this part. There is violence (nothing too graphic) and a little more than just Gabe cursing ahead. Tyler has never been an OC who bites his tongue no matter how much I try to make him. Alrighty all that boring business out of the way...enjoy <3

I was beyond ready to devour some fried shrimp. Peanut found some restaurant called Bubba Gumps in Times Square that is supposed to have some fairly kick ass seafood. Gabriel walked away from the staircase with his ears tinged a bright pink and mumbling profanities under his breath.

"What's wrong with him?" I whispered to Kota eyeing Sang, the Doc and Mr. Blackbourne strolling down towards us.

Kota raised an eyebrow at Gabe in an attempt to fish out what his problem was. Before he could answer, Peanut hugged him from behind grinning widely, an unexplainable mischievous twinkle in her eye. Gabe started twisting one of the bright blue studs in his ear avoiding all of our eyes. Oh yeah, he fucked up big time. I will take sadistic pleasure yanking the details out of him all night.

"Can we just go fucking eat already?" he groaned, pinching Sang's cheeks into a fish face. She swatted his hand away playfully.

Silas punched Gabe in the arm, "Damn Gabe, if you're going to make out with aggele mou at least don't get caught by Mr. Blackbourne." The roar in the room was deafening. Surprisingly I wasn't even pissed off with him - it was too damn funny how much he was stuttering to explain himself to be. Luke was clutching his stomach holding onto the Doc's shoulder to keep himself upright. AS IF that was going to help. I think the Doc was cracking up worse than any of us. North tried his damnedest to look infuriated, but caved the moment Mr. Blackbourne snorted. Vic and Kota shared a silent smirk.

Sang's fingers fluttered to her throat nervously, "I thought only Tyler did." The mood skyrocketed from shits and giggles to hot headed rage.

North cracked his knuckles, "I'm going to murder that fucker and why the HELL didn't you say something?!" he boomed, pointing a finger at Gabe.

Sang stepped away from Gabe both hands on her hips, "North! It was an accident! He wasn't standing around or anything. He brought my bag in then left," she said defensively.

"You did talk to that Faith girl, too," Gabe added, rubbing the back of his neck nervously probably from the icy daggers Mr. Blackbourne was shooting at him from across the room.

North pounded a fist on the kitchen counter, "When were you going to say something? Don't you think that's fucking important to know, Gabriel?!"

"Stop it!" Peanut screeched, her bottom lip trembling. Victor was the first to reach her, cradling her to his chest to stop the shaking.

Mr. Blackbourne sliced his hand sideways through the air cutting the argument short, "North! That's enough. Sang talking to Faith is something that could have been talked about later. It's our first night in New York City and we're supposed to enjoy it. That will be impossible if you're screaming at Gabriel and Sang all night about trivial details." The command in his voice was clear. If we're going to make it through this mission, we can't let little things set us off.

He sighed heavily, "You're right."

"Oy! Does that mean everyone can stop looking at me like I'm a freak of fucking nature and we can eat?" Gabe asked irately.

Luke threw an arm over his shoulder, "Yeah dude. Let's go catch dinner."

*Tyler*

I was seriously not looking forward to dealing with Mimi's bullshit tonight. She constantly assumes I'm up under the next bitch when I'm just working. I can't afford this damn Porsche without clocking hours. And even if I was who gives a fuck, we've been on a break for a month! I slammed the car door, tossed the cig in the gutter and climbed the cracked concrete to Faith's house. I slammed my fist on the door several times before I heard Faith undoing the four locks while X 's brother wailed his living ass off.
