My bodyguard // Noah x Michael // Royal AU

5. ~Threat~

THABK YOU SMMM FOR THE IDEA SpongebobIsGayyz

Michaels pov:
Despite Mr. Carters warning to not leave the palace, as I was grounded and there was an apparent "threat" out, I left with the deal of Mr. Carter staying with me.

"Do you have to follow me exactly where I go?" I stare at Mr. Carter as I walk backwards.
"Yes, I do need to follow you, Prince." He say to me.
"Why?" I ask, still walking backwards. I hit a sign and fall backwards. I can hear small chuckles from Mr. Carter.
"See, Prince? That's why." He says, looking at me, laughing, before helping me up.

Finally, my slow ass friends arrive at the meet up place.
"Sup, Man!" Fredrick says, punching my arm. I notice a glimpse of Noah's face in the corner of my eyes. It looked a little angered at the interaction.
"Hey! Still up for lunch?" I ask all three of them.
"Hell yeah!" Simon answers.

I look at Noah, seeing him not completely focused on me, so I take this as an opportunity. I pull my friends into a close circle, whispering to them an idea.

"What if we snuck away from Mr. Carter?" I whisper to the three.
"Mr. Who now?" Mark asks.
"Oh, sorry. My bodyguard." I forgot they have no idea who Mr. Carter was.
"So what? We're just gonna walk way?" Simon asks.
"Pretty much." I answer him.
"Bet." Fredrick chimes in.

We break the circle as all of us pull back. I turn to look at Noah, who was standing, reading something one his phone.
"Now! Let's go!" I whisper with a loud tone.
We all run out of the small sitting area, leaving Mr. Carter to be by himself.

"We should hit up the burger place that's not too far from here." Mark suggests.
"The new one?" Simon asks.
"Yeah. I heard it's good." Marks answers.
"Guys, what burger place?" I have no idea whats going on with this area since my family never lets me leave. They didn't even let me leave this time. I had to sneak out with Noah.
"Oh, there's a new burger place. They just built it because the other one burnt down." Fredrick says casually.

We enter the place, going up to the front counter, and look over the menu to see what they have. Nothing too special. It's literally a normal fast food place.

After we all ate, I realized Noah still hasn't found us yet. I kind of forgot he was supposed to be here with me since that was the deal.

We all walk outside and walk around a mall like area. There were a bunch of shops.
"Dawg look! We gotta go here!" Fredrick says, pointing to a new store. It had a bunch of clothes in the style we liked. I was supposed to wear certain things but I don't listen.

"AH PRINCE MICHAEL?!" Before I turn around, I can already tell who these people are.
Great. Fan girl.
"Hey!" I put on my best friendly voice.
"Can you sign my forehead?" One girl yells.
"Sign my arm!" Another yells.
"Sign my tits!" Another girl says.

I was about to walk away, starting to feel uncomfortable as it always ended up being. I'm literally gay.

As I was backing up, I heard a gun shot, then a bunch of screaming and yelling.
"EVERYONE DOWN IN THE GROUND!" One man yells, holding a loaded gun out.
"PRINCE MICHAEL, STAND UP RIGHT NOW." The other one yells.
"Fuck. These must be the threats." I whisper to my friends before standing up.

"Up here. Now." The first one demanded.
I walk up, stopping to leave a little space between us.
"100 thousand. Right now." The second one holds a tan bag up.
"Excuse me?" I say to them. Ain't no way I'm taking that disrespect.
"You heard me!" He says.
"Not with that attitude." I say, buying myself more time for literally no reason.
"We're not playing games! It's either money or death!" The first one yells, holding the gun up to point to my head.
"You do not speak to your royalty like that." I say to them.

The guy with the gun loads the already loaded gun and it goes off. I blocked my head with my hands, flinching at the scene.

BANG!

I could feel myself shaking. Nothing hurt. Absolutely nothing. I look down, seeing I was still standing and alive. I lift my head to the guys, planning to make fun of them for their horrible aim, but I'm greeting to see no one but Mr. Carter standing there, both guys in his arms, the gun pointed at the first guys head and a bunch of blood from both.

"Let's go." Mr. Carter drops the two and the gun, pulling me by the sleeve of my shirt.
We enter his car and he starts driving.
"You dumbass." He says to me.
"You're the dumb one." I say back to him. "You should have heard us leave."
"Oh, trust me, I knew you four left. Did you forget that I have a tracker in your phone? I saw you guys at a burger shop." He explains.
"Oh..." I say, not know what to say.
"I knew you'd get in some kind of trouble so I let you go. I wanted you to learn a thing or two." He smiles. "What if I hadn't been there?"

We pull into the castle gates, pausing the conversation until we get into my room.

We walk into my room and he asks again.
"What if I weren't to show up because I didn't know where you were?"
"You have a tracker." I say. He places a hand on my chin, lifting it up to look him in the eye.
"Now, love, that's just not how it works." He smirks.

Love?! Did he really just call me "love"?! And why am I blushing?! I can feel my face burning up as if I were to be blushing. Am I falling for him? How? I literally can't like him. And it was one, maybe two interactions... what is happening..?
