Chapter 12

The next morning at breakfast, you could probably cut the tension in the room with a knife. Neither of them spoke though it was clear both of them wanted to. Finally, Lukas broke the ice. 

"Look, I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have asked a question like that and I didn't think. I was just frustrated at being interrupted and I was being stupid." He apologizes as the guilt had been eating at him all night. 

"It's alright, it was an argument, things were said that weren't meant to be. But you have to understand, I just want to keep you safe. You're one of the only people I have left and I don't want to lose you too."  Brandon decides to just be honest with him. 

"I know you do." Lukas nods, but Brandon wasn't done yet.

"Can you please at least tell me who it is you're working with to plan this surprise? That's probably what's causing me the most anxiety." Brandon asked, knowing it was a lot to ask but he had to know. 

Lukas hesitated. He knew that Brandon would overreact to who it was and the fact that Marion was his boyfriend. He wanted to set his brother's mind at ease but at the same time, this would probably only make Brandon's anxiety levels shoot through the roof. 

Brandon suddenly took his hands and Lukas looked at his brother. 

"Lukas, I don't care who it is really. Heck, I don't care if you've been dating this guy and you just haven't told me yet, but it would really set my mind at ease if you told me who they are so that if I get worried I can reassure myself that this guy is keeping you safe on whatever you're working on." Brandon reassured him, looking into his eyes to show his sincerity. 

Lukas nods at that before sighing and saying. "... Well, you're right that he's my boyfriend..."

"I figured it probably would be." Brandon nods at that before asking. "What's his name and for how long?"

"Well, its been about a month now..."

"A month and you didn't tell me?" The fallen says it in a joking tone but he is a little hurt that his brother hadn't told him after a month of dating. 

"Sorry, I just thought that you would overreact at who it is." Lukas apologized. 

"Why would I overreact at who he is? Who is he?" Brandon asked, both curious and a little concerned. 

Lukas mumbles out who it is. 

"Who?" Brandon asks as he does not have super hearing. 

"... Marion, otherwise known as the Imp, the devil's right hand..."
