The Flare
~Ohms P.O.V~
"Ohm, do you trust Delirious? asked CaRtOoNz as Marcel places glasses in front of all us. "What do you mean?" I asked staring at the glass in my hand. "You know what I mean." he says before finishing his drink. Kyle looks at me, waiting for an answer. "Yes, I trust him." I tell him as I set my glass down. I slam my hands on the bar-top and stand up. I walk to the back, grab my stuff and head toward the front door. "Ohm, is everything OK?" asked Marcel. "He's scared." says Kyle. I stopped and turned to look at them. "Why?" CaRtOoNz asked. "He thinks Y/N is replacing him with Delirious." said Kyle. "Why would you think that?" Marcel asked. "Because she's our only sister, she had a dangerous life growing up and I got used to being the one that kept her safe after Kyle moved out but that's all going to change now that she has Delirious." I said as I made my way back over to the bar.
"Ohm, you don't have to worry about being replaced. Delirious would never let that happen. And plus, how can she replace you? You're her twin brother." said CaRtOoNz. "If you guys don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "dangerous life?" Marcel asked. I looked up at Kyle and I gave him the nod of approval.
"Our mother kicked her out when she was 8, never to be seen again until 10 years ago when Ohm and I found her hiding within the shadows behind the bar." explained Kyle. "Why would she kick out her own daughter? And where was your father?" asked CaRtOoNz. "Y/N has a special ability with her eyes. Our grandparents called it the Flare." Kyle said. "And our father was killed by our mother when she found out he was helping Y/N, she killed him then took her own life." I added. "Delirious' eyes do the same thing." CaRtOoNz mentioned. Kyle and I looked at each other with wide eyes. "That would explain why Y/N likes him so much." said Kyle. I looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean?" I asked. "She made me promise to leave him alone." he replied.
"They made it to her place but there's a problem." said Marcel. "What is it?" I asked. "It was broken into while she was with us." he said. "Where are they now?" asked CaRtOoNz. "They are still there seeing if everything is accounted for." he said. "OK, where are they at?" I asked. "Her place." he said. "Who wants to drive?" asked Kyle. "I will." I say as he tosses me the keys to his car. We all get in the car and head to Y/Ns house.
~Y/N P.O.V~
"Can I ask you a question, Delirious?" I asked making him turn in my direction. "You just did." he replied. "My brother is going to yell at me for this...oh well" I say as I hit the brakes, making the car and everyone in it jerk forward. He looks over at me and smiles. "What's your question?" he asked. As we pull up to my garage, I get the feeling that something isn't right. "I need you to take Buck and go over to that door over there and wait for me to call your phone" I told him as point over at the door in the garage. "When you hear your phone go off, open the door and tell Buck to "scout it out" and slowly follow him inside. Stay a few feet behind and never pass by a door until Buck clears the room. If you hear him start to bark, that means someone is there. So never let your guard down. If the place is clear then he will come and sit in front of you." I said to him as I pick up my phone and scroll through the contacts.
"What are you doing?" he asked me. "I'm calling my brothers. We could use the help." I tell him.I call each one of my brothers but neither one of them picked up. "Damn it!" I say quietly. "No answer?" asked Delirious. "No but are you ready?" I asked him. He nods his head and we make our way to our positions. I make it to the front door and call his phone. I open the door and wait for clearance. Suddenly, Buck starts barking. We run to the room where the barking is coming from and quickly spot the two men standing in my bedroom.
"Down boy." I say to Buck and he does as told.
"Jamie, Daren, why are you the ones robbing my house? Where's your boss? Is he still too busy shoving his tongue down Casey's throat ? Is that why he sent you to do his dirty work?" I said jokingly. "That is none of your business Y/N." said Daren. "Yeah and who's your friend?" asked Jamie. I looked at Buck and smiled then looked back at Jamie. "Actually, it is my business. You're forgetting whos house you're in illegally. Now what exactly are looking for? My new dog, the hidden safe that I'm sure your boss must have told you was here or are you looking for the warehouse key?" I asked them but neither one gave me an answer. A few moments of silence pass before Jamie breaks the silence.
"Daren, tell Shaun that I am no longer working for him. Y/N, I was told to give you this." he says as he pulls out a piece of folded paper and hands it to me. I open it and see him, me, his brother and Natalie standing there with each one of our dogs sitting in front of us. "I remember when Noah drew this. He wouldn't let anyone see it until it was finished." I said with tears in my eyes. Delirious walks over and puts his hand on my shoulder. "You OK?" he asked. I nod my head and look at Daren.
"Jamie, you can stay if you want but Daren, you need to leave." I tell them. I hand Delirious the picture and take a seat on my bed. As Daren leaves, I stop him at the door. "Daren, the next time you see your boss, tell him that he was wrong and that his time is up. I win." I say to him as he leaves. "Jamie, what were you looking for?" I asked Jamie. "Shaun told us to..." he tries to say but I cut him off. "That's not what I asked you." I say. "What are YOU looking for?" I asked him again. "I'm looking for one of Noah's pistols. He said that if he was to get killed in action, each one of the pistols were to go the person whos name is on the side of the barrel." he replied "I have two of them hiding in the safe, Natalie has the one with her name on it and I have mine right here." I tell him and he looks at me with surprise.
"You have my gun? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked. I stood up and walked to the safe in the hallway. "Because after Noah died, you went off the radar and I couldn't find you so I held on to it until I found you." I say to him. I open up the safe and take out the pistol with Jamie's name on it and give it to him "Each one has a name and a different print on it. One with my name, one with your name, one with Natalie's name, and one that says Delirious on it." I added. I picked up the pistol that says "Delirious" on it and looked over at Delirious with confusion. I looked down at it one more time before smiling at him. "Noah mentioned you a few times to me when I hung out with him." I tell Delirious as I handed him the pistol. He looks up at me and I give him a smile.
"Take it, it's yours fair and square." I tell him as a mischievous smile grew upon my face. "What's the smile for?" asked Delirious as he takes the gun out of my hand. "It's for this." I tell him as I pull him closer and kiss him passionately. He puts his pistol on the nearby table then puts his hands on my hips as my hands cupped his face. We pull away and stare at each other. "And what was that for?" he asked.
"You'll see why I did that someday but right now I need your help cleaning this place." I say to him making him smile then pulls me into hug. I hug back and smile to the rhythm of his heartbeat. I pull away fast enough to see his eyes flare. We soon begin cleaning when Kyle, Marcel, CaRtOoNz, and Ohm come running through the door.
~Perfect timing, I think.~
