6 - Scared
Michael laughed out at something Luke had said before a soft yawn exited from his mouth.
"Tired?" Ashton hummed out.
"A little bit." Michael answered honestly, "I should get home."
"It's already dark out. Why don't you just stay here for the night?" Calum asked.
"Only if you don't mind..."
"Of course not." Calum hummed out, "I'll get the room ready for you."
Calum left as he said he was going to while Luke went to the kitchen to fetch Michael a "perfect nighttime tea" according to the man.
"Michael...how are you doing? I hope you're not upset when I tell you that Calum told us about your sister."
Ashton's eyes were soft as he gazed at Michael, making sure to be gentle with the human. He's never cared so much before. But he refused to let himself hurt Michael.
"No, it's okay. The more people who know the better possibility of finding her is. But...nothing has been found yet."
"How are you doing?"
"I'm scared..." He was honest, looking at Ashton with vulnerability lacing his green eyes, "I'm scared I'll never see her again."
Luke then came back inside with a tea cup in his hand. He handed it to Michael who gladly accepted it.
"You're not having any?"
"I don't drink tea."
"Why do you have some then?" Michael asked confused.
"I got some for you in case you wanted it."
"Luke!" Michael smiled deeply, "First you get me a new phone and now you're getting me tea? You have got to stop."
He was caught up in the moment and Michael failed to notice how hot the tea was. Instead he instantly put the cup to his lips in order to drink the liquid. He instantly hissed from the hot pain, feeling his fingers slip from the cup.
His eyes widened when he saw Luke quickly catch the cup, resulting in some of the liquid spilling out right onto Luke's hand.
"Oh my gosh. Luke, are you okay?" Michael asked worriedly, grabbing his hand and gently patting the liquid off with the bottom of his shirt, "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. It's just tea."
"Scorching hot tea that's probably going to leave blisters on your hand."
Michael's eyes narrowed in confusion once he saw Luke's perfect looking hand...in perfect condition like always. There were no blisters. His pale hand didn't even turn pink at all.
Michael placed his hand on top of Luke's only to feel the surface icy cold. There wasn't any heat at all, which had to of been impossible with how hot the tea was.
"I'm okay. In the heat of the moment you probably saw a lot more tea than there actually was. Adrenaline will do that to you." Luke said before Michael could ask.
"Are you okay? Did you burn your mouth?" Ashton asked concerned, "Do you need anything?"
"No, I'm fine..." Michael was still caught up in his confused thoughts.
He easily said goodnight and called it a night once Calum came back inside to tell him the room was ready.
—•••—
Michael couldn't sleep well that night.
His thoughts were storming in confusion.
What had happened that night was so confusing. How did Luke not get hurt? How was he so unnaturally cold? How did he react so fast? He had caught the cup so quickly.
The three men thought he was asleep. Why would they not? Michael had gone to the room and haven't heard him since he laid himself into bed.
Michael thought they had gone to sleep too, since he didn't hear any footsteps or movement from them. But that's something he's noticed as well...they're always so quiet. He can never hear them or their footsteps. The only thing he can hear from them is their voices.
"...be more careful..."
That's when Michael zoned back into reality, realizing the men were awake and were talking to each other. He really hated to be an eazedropper, but he couldn't stop himself.
"It was either do that or let him get hurt. Would you really have choose the other option?" He heard Luke.
"I just don't want him to find out." Calum said, "He's special. He's different. I don't want him to run away."
"So you do see what we're talking about?" Ashton asked.
"There's a light within him. I can't figure out what it is, but there's something within him."
That's when Michael's heart started to increase. What did they mean by this? Why was he special to them?
"He's awake." Ashton said.
How did he know?
There was something going on with the three...and Michael needed to figure out what it was.
