Distressed

ch 2; first encounter with Morbius

As almost every time, he is the first person on place at the science course.
He sits down on the chair he always sits down on, the desk no one else sits by.
Amadeus has always thought grownups should behave better than students who are like fifteen- Seventeen years old.
But he had wrong. Even people older than twenty are acting as idiots.
The bullying doesn't exist only between children and teenagers, it's exist among grownups too.
Perhaps bullying are a part of our biological structure?
Amadeus sighs and leans across the wooden desk, resting his chin on his crossed arms.
He glances against the watch on the white brick wall, placed above the big blackboard. 08.33.
It's almost a half hour before the class will get started.
He stands up from the chair and walks over to his locker and hangs up his black coat and check pattern scarf in the locker. Then he takes on his white lab coat and safety glasses.
Perhaps he should use the time he has and run some tests on his blood.
He is actually curious to do some tests since he is a product made by two male.
He closes the locker and walks over to the metallic wardrobe and takes out a needle and a microscope.
Then he sits down at his place and takes a blood sample of his own blood by using the needle.
He drips some blood drops on a small pierce of glass, then he place the sample in the microscope and starts examining it.
Amadeus was in deep thoughts when someone suddenly puts his hand on the desk and leans against him.
"What are you doing there?"
Amadeus jolts and by mistake crashes the glass by zooming in too much with the microscope.
"Gosh... you scared me" amadeus says and is looking at an unfamiliar face.
"Oh, I'm sorry" the tall male with black hair and ice blue eyes says.
Amadeus is looking speechless at him.
The other male places a hand against his own chest.
"I am Micheal Morbius, the new student here" the guy probably around twenty-five years old with the leather coat says.
"Ehm..." Amadeus tries to make his tongue work again, but finds it difficult, since he has a handsome man beside him. Extremely close by too. He could smell the aftershaves lotion Morbius had used this morning. Mixed with hair gel.
Michael grins against him.
"And you are?"
Amadeus jolts.
"Amadeus....I am Amadeus Stark"
Micheal nods and caress his chin thoughtfully.
"Ah...so, you are the one I have heard much about"
Amadeus wides his eyes while his heart skip a beat.
"You have?"
Michael nods and sits down beside him.
"Yes... of course everyone who cares about science would know about how Tony Stark's grandson graduated as fourteen years old... and are like one of the cleverest person out in the world... you were like the eight smartest person?"
Amadeus inhales deeply and starts blushing. He wasn't good at taking credit.
Since he has a jealous big brother, he has tried to disappear into the shadows. Not wanting to take space and get credit from people around him.
He knew Carnage would attack him if their family, or other close to them, starts praising him.
And Amadeus didn't want to be hated by his own brother.
It's the opposite, he wants to get loved by Carnage. Each time he seems make progress with their relationship, someone starts praising Amadeus for something, and his hard work with Carnage gets destroyed by few seconds.
Each time he gets a hug by his parents, he could count on getting a punch from Carnage later.
Micheal leans closer to Amadeus, with an asking smile.
"Amadeus?"
Amadeus jolts of hearing his own name and throws back to the reality.
"Yes?"
Suddenly Morbius raises his eyebrows and leans backward in his chair and starts laughing.
Amadeus bites his bottom lip and is looking asking at him.
"What's funny?" He asks and want to know if he had done something wrong or weird.
Still laughing, Micheal starts shaking his head.
"Sorry...nothing is actually funny... I just thought you were kind of cute when you dozen off like that" he explains himself and stopped laughing and wipes away the few tears who had lefted his ice blue eyes.
Ice blue eyes who isn't cold as ice, but warm and kindly as the shinning sun.
Suddenly Amadeus starts feeling as he has got a fever.
His cheeks are heating up and his body gets all warm.
"No I'm not..." he says and looks shyly away.
"Yes..." Morbius starts to say before talking people appears close by and the door to the classroom opens and the other students walks in.
Many of them gasps when they see Morbius.
The women starts blushing and giggling of seeing the gothic, handsome man.
While some of the men starts whispering about someone is sitting beside amadeus, and is weirdly close to him. About ten-twenty centimetres apart and if they leaned in any closer they could have kissed each other.
"Why are you all gathering by the door? Let me through " Dr.connor says behind the group of people.
The group starts walking and everyone sits down, still glancing against both Morbius and Amadeus.
Dr.connor whose hair had turned grey since many years, walks to his desk and places down his leather portfolio on the desk and clears his throat.
"Good morning everyone" he says and gets a 'good morning' from the other.
Amadeus tries focusing on Dr.connor but cannot let's go off the thought of Micheal had said he was cute.
He wasn't used to get called cute by someone else than his family members.
When he got called cute by his daddy or something like that, he just shrugged and smiled. That word wasn't something special.
At least he had thought that.
But now... getting called cute by someone who isn't family, sounds weird. Special.
And knowing the one who called him cute, sits beside him, make him nervous. He is used to be the daydreaming person, but now. His head is filled with clouds.
He finds it more difficult to focus. And this happens today of all days! Today when the special project will get started there the winners will get rewarded with being Dr.connors assistance.
And Amadeus wants nothing less than being Dr.connors assistance. The one who will someday take over his lab.
Amadeus jolts when Micheal puts a hand on his shoulder and squeeze gently.
"Do you want to team up with me?" Morbius asks and gets a shocked look from Amadeus who hasn't heard a thing Dr.connor had said.
"What?" He asks and tilts his head confused.
Michael grins and takes away his hand from Amadeus's shoulder and put his arm around the boy's shoulders instead, leaning closer.
"Since we..." Morbius starts to say.
Amadeus feels as his heart is about to explode.
"Freeze!" He suddenly says and interrups Morbius.
Micheal gets silent and blinks confused.
"Freeze?"
Amadeus chuckles embarrassed.
"Nothing...sorry..." he says.
(Sadly I doesn't have the power to stop time... but what did I expected?! None of my parents have that power...)
Some women had walked over to the desk there Morbius and Amadeus sits by.
"Never mind Amadeus... he is weird.."
"Micheal, do you want to team up with me?"
" No, he wants to team up with me!"
"Haha, you all have wrong, he wants to work with me on the project"
Micheal nods against Amadeus.
"Sorry, but I want to work with Amadeus"
The hopefully faces the women had, drops and they are looking jealousy at Amadeus.
"It's not fair!" One of the women says.
The woman with red,brown curly hair and dark red lips, crosses her arms.
"Yeah! It's unfair... he has everything... he is rich, graduated as fourteen years old..and now he tries to steal the opportunity to be Dr.connors assistance... why does someone as he need to take over someone else lab? Can't he buy himself one?!" One blond woman with two plaits complains.
Amadeus looks down on the desk, feeling how his eyes watering.
"I'm not rich..."
"Liar!" Another blond women says upset.
"You lies! You are grandchild to the billionaire" the woman with red brown curly hair says while Micheal takes away his arm from Amadeus's shoulders.
Micheal slams his hand on the desk and a loudly sound appears and makes everyone stares at him.
"It isn't attractive with jealous women... and beside, be course your grandpa is rich, doesn't mean you are rich too" Micheal tells them while Dr.connor walks away from a student he had talked with and walks over to Micheal and the other.
"Is something wrong?" He asks them.
The women snorts.
"Nothing... we just tried to be kind and asked the newcomer if he wanted to team up with us" the red brown curly haired woman explains, before all women starts walking away.
Dr.connor shakes his head and is looking pity at Amadeus who is looking uncomfortable down on the desk.
"Is everything alright, Amadeus?" The one armed teacher, scientists asks.
Amadeus exhales and looks up.
"Y-yeah..." he says and put on a crocked smile.
Dr.connor smiles gently against him.
"I have big exceptions of you... have you choose a partner to your project?" He asks and is glancing hopefully at Morbius.
Micheal grins against Dr.connor.
"Yes me... expect he wants me as his partner" Micheal says and is looking asking at Amadeus.
Amadeus opens his mouth slightly and gulps.
Then he nods.
"Y-yes.. I'm going to work with Michael" he says nervously.
Dr.connor nods and smiles.
"Great! Ask me if you want something or want to ask me about something"
"Thanks Dr.connor" Micheal says.
"Yeah..thanks" Amadeus says.
When Dr.connor has leaved them alone, is Amadeus looking asking at Morbius.
" Do you have some ideas for the project?"
Michael nods.
"Yes I have!"
"Like what?"
Micheal presses his lips together and starts tapping his fingers on the desk, thoughtfully.
"Ehm... there I come from...we have big problem with some kind of pandemic... people disappears suddenly... some of them never comes back again...and other comes back with lost of plasma" Micheal starts telling him with a lower voice as he didn't want someone to hear him, except Amadeus.
Amadeus tilts his head curiously.
"Like some vampires had drained them on blood?"
Michael starts laughing nervously.
"You can perhaps say that, yeah... however... I want to create something who can make them cured..healthy..."
Amadeus nods and likes the idea.
"Sounds as the perfect idea to win the Nobel prize... so, let's get started"
"But we can't work here..."
Amadeus tilts his head confused.
"Then..where are we going to work?"
Micheal leans closer to Amadeus with his lips against the boy's ear.
" meet me at the clock tower tonight by midnight"
Amadeus wides his eyes.
"What? Why?!"
"Hush... we doesn't want everyone know what we are doing... what if people tries stealing our work" Micheal explains still whispering close to Amadeus's ear.
Amadeus gets silent and starts thinking about Micheals suggestion.
"Okay... let's meet at midnight"
