Distressed

ch 5; the informal date

He had just put on his white sneakers when his papa walks out to the hallway.
"Are you going out to meet Micheal now?"
Amadeus stands nervously up from the floor.
"Y-yeah..."he answers and see Peter taking his blue coat.
Amadeus furrows his eyebrows.
"Are you really joining?" He asks with a deep sighs of disappointment.
Peter raises an eyebrow while he is putting on his coat.
"Yes I am... or you aren't allowed to go out today" he tells Amadeus while he is buttoning his coat.
Amadeus rolls his eyes and takes up his phone and starts typing a text.
[Don't hate me... but my Papa wants to meet you. He has promised me he will only stay some few minutes, then he leaves/Amadeus]
Shortly after he had send the text, his phone beeps of an incoming text.
[Don't worry... but.. your papa as the one who will be mad if a man walked you home?]
  Amadeus giggles.
[Oh! No no... I have two dads... this one is harmless]
Peter raises an asking brow.
"Are you texting that man?"
Meanwhile Amadeus turns his face up from his phone against Peter, his phone beeps again.
"Ehm...yes..." he answers which make Peter grins against him while he shunts his hair backwards.
"I have to forewarning him about you are joining too" he adds before his eyes falls back down on the screen.
Peter shakes his head.
[Awesome, see you then]
Amadeus sends an thumb up as answer before he tuck his phone back into his coat pocket.
Then he swathes his black-grey check pattern scarf around his neck.
"Don't embarrassing me!" Amadeus warns with his eyes at Peter while he opens the door.
Peter laughs.
"Of course not!"
Amadeus raises a brow with the look 'can I trust that?!' on his face.
But without saying anything he starts walking against the café there Micheal Morbius, his partner in the science project, the man who stolen his first kiss, is waiting on him.
They enter the café and notice many people have chosen to be there today.
Amadeus dark eyes are darting around, trying to spot Morbius.
He finds him standing in front the big menu who stands beside the corner of the counter.
Amadeus smiles and walks over to him with Peter following a meter behind.
"Micheal " he says to get his informal dates attention.
Micheal turns his face from the menu and is looking at Amadeus. A wide smile spreads on his face.
"Good day isn't it?" He says and walks against Amadeus and Peter.
Michael is looking asking at Peter.
"Are you Amadeus's dad?"
Peter nods and reach out his hand against the taller man.
"Yes I am... I'm Peter Stark"
Micheal is eyeing Peter curiously and grabs his hand.
"I'm Micheal Morbius..I'm going in same class as Amadeus... you look pretty young? You can't be older than thirty-five" he says and give Peter's hand a light squeeze before he let it go and let his arm falls down against his hip.
Peter nods.
"You have almost right. I'm thirty-six"
Amadeus raises a brow and is looking confused between those two.
Suddenly it hitted him, his papa and Michael are close in age.
  Isn't it weird having a papa who is that young? Especially when you are trying to be friend, boyfriend?, with someone who are close in age to your parent.
Micheal grins against Peter.
"Are you going to join us for a cup coffee?... I can pay your drink too...and a cake if you want one" Morbius suggest with his ice blue eyes set on Peter.
Peter waves with his hand as he is waving away Morbius suggestion.
"Thanks... but I can pay my own coffee"
Micheal shakes his head and tuck his hands into his pocket in his black leather coat.
"No no... let me buy you a cup of coffee..." he says before his eyes turns to Amadues"
"Have you decided what to order?"
Amadeus nods slowly as he wasn't sure it was him, Morbius had asked.
"Yes... a slice of mudcake...and one cup of coffee"
Micheal nods and walks to the counter there he places the order. Ignoring Peter's protesting about who are going to pay his coffee.
Peter sighs and shakes his head, accepting his defeated.
Then Peter glances against Amadeus with a smirk, something Amadeus tries ignore and is looking away.
After have told their order, Micheal walks back to the other two.
" Let's find a place to sit down"
Amadeus nods and walks after Micheal while he tries spot an empty table. Peter is following them.
It isn't easy to find somewhere to sit since it seems the 'whole' city have decided to take their coffee there.
But at last, Micheal finds a round table for four customers,  in a corner of the café.
They had almost just sit down when their order places down on the table.
"Here you are, ask if you need something " the blond waitress with a bun says with her eyes jumping from one face to another, and shoots a gently smile against Micheal. She had a name tag on her pink waitress uniform with the name 'Emily' on.
"Thanks..." the three of them says almost synchronised.
The waitress walks away with her empty tray.
Micheal grabs his cup with coffee and starts drinking it.
Amadeus adds sugar in his own cup, three sugar cubes into the dark hot liquid and starts mix it with his teaspoon. Enjoying the sight of seeing the sugar cubes melting in his coffee and vanish after a while.
  Peter is looking interesting at Morbius while his fingers is tapping softly at his own cup.
"Where are you from?" Peter asks with his eyes at Micheal.
The gothic man is looking asking at him before he clears his throat.
"I'm from Greece actually... I grew up with my single mother." Micheal answers before he keeps drinking his coffee.
Amadeus raises his eyebrows before he starts drinking his sweet coffee.
Peter lifts his cup.
"Oh... how come you choose to move to new York?" Peter asks before he starts drinking his own coffee.
Micheal puts down his cup onto the round table and intertwine his fingers, with his hands resting on the table.
" I came here since I want to find the cure to a disease we have in my country... and starting in Dr.connors class is my best shot.. especially when he has this project there the winners will become his assistants and their project will be financial sponsored by him"
Peter nods.
"I see... then I hope you will success"
Micheal smiles and grabs his cup again and starts drinking.
"Thanks..."
Amadeus finds the fact about Micheal interesting, but it feels weird to open his mouth and starts talking since his papa is there.
Morbius gazes is looking from Peter to Amadues and then back again.
"May I ask?" He starts asking and notice how Peter starts paying attention.
"Are you the stepdad? Or Amadeus takes his look from his mother?" Michael asks which make Amadeus to tilt his head while Peter is blushing.
"I mean... Amadeus told me he has two dads...and since you aren't looking asian to me... Amadeus must got his look from the other parent " he explains himself.
Peter shrugs while his fingers are touching his cup thoughtfully.
" first of all...ehm... Amadeus has only two parents..  me...and Wade, his Daddy... " Peter starts to tell him.
Micheal raises his eyebrows and is eyeing Peter.
"Oh... then you..." he starts saying before Peter interrups by waving with his hand.
"No no... I'm not transgender... Amadeus is made by two biological dads... "
"Wow... that's fascinating" Micheal says with an exhale.
Peter nods.
" Yeah... but I can't explain why Amadues looks like an Asian... I mean.. none of our relatives are asian" he adds with a shrug.
Amadues rolls his eyes and leans back in his chair.
"I'm looking like this since the author based me at Amadeus cho and he is Korean" Amadeus mumbles more to himself than to someone else.
Both Peter and Michael gets silent and are looking confused at him.
"What?" Morbius asks while Peter seems embarrassed of his son.
Amadeus grins and shakes his head.
"Nothing..." he says and starts eating on his mudcake.
Micheal raises a brow but choose not to comment.
