Noir's Beginning
Chapter 3
***
Noir was lying in bed really flustered and out of sorts. He turned over and buried his head in his pillow breathing deeply to settle his racing heart. Cain… What was he thinking? Noir let out a frustrated growl thinking back on what transpired.
Cain’s face was an inch away from Noir’s. Their breath intermingled before Cain spoke. “Take your clothes off…” Noir blinked rapidly dumbfounded. The only word he was able to produce was. “Huh?” Cain released Noirs jaw and stood up swiftly. “You are wet. Its now...” He checked his watch. “Five in the morning…Time for bed, you can either dress yourself or I will do it for you. ” Noir’s face was flushed as he tried to calm his beating heart. “That…was not what I was expecting. ”Noir thought. Then he patronized himself for even expecting something else in the first place.
Cain tried to keep the amusement out of his expression and voice. “Well?” Noir stood up faster than was wise as he was still very intoxicated, hence before he knew it he was on the floor again with Cain’s amused face above him. Noir was never this ungraceful so Cain found it hard not to make a big deal out of it. Taking pity on the youth Cain leaned down and gripped under his arms pulling him to his feet. Making sure he was steady Cain let go but not before a lingered touch. “There, now don’t be in such a hurry to get undressed. ” Noir decided to ignore the lingered touch and the slight racing of his heart.
“I-I’m not in a hurry…I just tripped…” He mumbled. Cain decided that it was enough teasing for one night and proceeded to the door. He looked back as Noir was just beginning to remove his shirt. “Noir…” Noir paused with the shirt halfway up showing his lean muscled frame. Cain locked his eyes to Noir’s, face serious. “It wasn’t your fault…” Noir’s eyes widened a bit and pain flashed across his face briefly before he hid it. Before Noir could reply Cain was already shutting the door.
Noir turned over on his back unable to sleep with the confusing thoughts in his head. He let out a deep sigh feeling numb and lost. “Cain still expects me to be his bodyguard…but that was only because I made a deal with him…I would protect him, and in return he would provide anything for Alice. ” Noir ignored the deep ache that even thinking about Alice produced and turned his thoughts to the bigger problem. His uncle. Noir’s body burned with a deep anger, an urge even stronger than grief consumed him. He wanted to rip him to shreds, tear him limb from limb to destroy that bastard. Noir knew Cain would know what Noir wanted to do and Cain would try to stop him. Noir sat up and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “If I want to get my justice, I need to make a strategy…one Cain cannot figure out. ” Noir knew that the obvious ones would be for him to either run away now or to wait until Cain was comfortable enough to leave him without supervision.
After thinking for a bit Noir decided that he was beyond exhausted and in order for a mind to think it needed rest. Noir laid down and proceeded to get comfortable. “I will give him what he deserves!” The last thought that Noir had was of Cain’s chiseled features and the smirk on his lips that would deliver a forbidden promise.

Noir woke to the sound of consistent ringing coming from his bedside table. Letting out an irritated groan he blindly reached for the phone.
Clearing his throat he flipped it open blinking rapidly to clear the sleep from his eyes. “ Mm’llo…?” He said sleepily. “ Hey sleepy head!!” Noir had to restrain himself from cursing as he held the phone away from his ear at the loud excited voice on the other end. “Max…. ” He acknowledged in a tight voice. “Yo! Hey you know what time it is? Not morning that’s for sure! Haha you have an alarm clock right cuz if not I can get one for you’re birthday! When’s your birthday by the way? Mmm starts with an M…” Noir sat up rubbing his face and groaning softly at the consistent babble coming out of the device. He tuned Max out as he looked at the clock on his dresser. It read 1:45 pm. “Damn…” Noir thought. “ And I said..Noooo it doesn’t work that way and here the little brat decides to actually shock me with the thing I mean here I am and I'm like just standin-“ Noir barked into the phone: “Max! Shut up!” Silence. “Jeeze…. Would you be quiet for one minute I just woke up…” Noir let out a big sigh rubbing his forehead. “Now…what did you call for? And before you start rambling give me a straight answer!” There was a brief silence on the other end before the man spoke again.
“Cain…just wanted to know if you wanted to come into work today. ” Noir flushed at the mention of Cain, he cleared his throat. “Ya…ya tell him I’ll be down in twenty…” “ Well do…and uh, Noir?” Noir paused in getting up. “Ya?” There was a soft shuffle on the other end. “ Um I just wanted to tell you…your not alone…kay? You’ve still got us…I know it might not mean that much since you’ve only known us for a year and a half now but…I like to think that in some way we are important to you. ” Noir had to fight the tears that threatened to form. He started to say something then paused, cleared his throat and in a slightly hoarse voice replied; “ T-Ah..Ya…um…I know…thanks…….. Max”
“Anytime. ” Was the soft reply before the line went dead. Noir sat there for a moment oddly touched and slightly happy if somewhat stunned that a guy like Max who was against him being here from the beginning would say something like that.
Noir got up out of the bed and proceeded to the shower. As he was undressing Noir’s thoughts abidingly went to those of Cain. The way he looked up close last night the low lighting in the room high lighting the shadows that were caressing his handsome face, the scent of his cologne mixed with the cinnamon smell of the cigarettes he always smokes. His broad shoulders and firm muscled arms enveloping Noir, brining him closer so their bodies were a millimeter apart so close to touching if only Noir closed the space between them and-
Noir’s thoughts came to a stumbling halt. His hands froze in the changing of the water temperature. “Wha? I’m not gay!” Noir thought desperately. Sure Cain was handsome but Noir had never thought of a man in…that way before. Noir shook his head bewildered and confused with his reactions towards Cain. He found the temperature he liked and stepped into his shower closing the glass door, he sighed when the slightly hot water touched his tense muscles loosening them up. He took up the shampoo and began washing his hair returning to his thoughts again. “ I know for a fact I'm not the slightest bit…into men yet…why is this happening to me…? Maybe I just really need to get laid…the last time was…well…a while ago so…ya…im just sex deprived. “ But that sounded a bit lame even to himself.
As Noir continued with the rest of his shower routine he suddenly stopped as Cain’s words came back to him. “Take off you’re clothes…. ” Noir blushed and let out a growl forcefully shutting off the water. Opening the glass door he grabbed the towel on the rack quickly drying off all the while grumbling about being obsessed with green-eyed men. Opening the door the steam billowed out as Noir strode across the room naked to his dresser. Pulling out a fitted black shirt, dark jeans and black socks along with black briefs he preceded to get dressed. Noir finished zipping up his pants as he glanced at the clock. “ 5 more minutes…” He mumbled. Walking to his closet he pulled out his boots and sat down on the floor to put them on. Finishing that task he stood up after lacing them up and he made a slight movement with his right boot making a blade spring out. He checked the other boot and nodded in satisfaction, securing them again he then took out his leather jacket and swords.
