It took a second after his coworker asked if he needed a tissue before he got back to reality. [color=Mediumpurple]"N-No, I'm alright... Sorry, don't know wh-"[/color]

Ow... The childhood friend Mikaela had unconsciously avoided came in and started to crush him with a huge hug. There weren't many people that were so big and strong in Micah's life so he hadn't gotten a hug like this in a while. Had... Had Mikaela ever been hugged like this? Hank gave him a slap on the back or a side hug, but nothing like this. Oh dear, he was getting teary-eyed all over again.

His eyes weirded Julius out, that was a little unsettling. His eyes showed off, let everyone know, that he was a freak, so a tiny prickle of pain slipped through his chest. He knew that the blonde didn't mean anything by it, but the traumatic experiences he had had because of his eyes were still plaguing him.

Luke took Zac's hand, his face slipping into a huge goofy grin and his eyes scanning the counter for his Papa. He really wanted Papa to meet this new pretty person! He hurried on his tiny legs to the back, slipping through the crowd of people that were starting to go back to their coffee and desserts. The barista- what was her name again? -Called his Papa's name so he pivoted towards that direction. Who was that hugging his dad? The guy seemed almost like a giant bear and he kinda scared Luke a little.

Zac was saying something about knowing Papa, it sounded like they were friends, but Mikaela had never talked about either of the two men. Luke's hair was suddenly ruffled and his head tingled from Zac's touch. [color=f49ac2]"L-Luke, my name is Luke."[/color]

Okay, on the ground now. That meant he was supposed to focus, get out of his brain and get back to reality again. Zac was here and Julius, his two brothers! [color=mediumpurple]"It's been a really long time..."[/color] He said, embarrassed as he remembered he had never said goodbye. His hair was suddenly tousled, which actually did happen a lot. If he had been anything like his mother, he would have gone into a hissy fit for his hairdo would have been messed up. But Micah's hair already did whatever it wanted, so whatever.

Tomorrow night, he didn't have work, it seemed like fate. He would probably need to find someone to take care of Luke for the night, it wouldn't be a good idea for such a young boy to be out so late. Luke would already be out 'til at least ten for Halloween. With only Zac, Julius, and a few other... this wouldn't be that bad. Mikaela smiled, thinking that hey, a good catch up would be great!

When had Julius even gotten a hold of his wallet? It wasn't like he kept much money on him in the first place, the new Julius must have secretly been somewhat cunning. Mikaela did have a new email, he had done everything he could to separate from his life back in the Winter house. [color=Mediumpurple]"Uh, okay, I'll send you a message the-" [/color]

It didn't seem like anything important was happening, so life decided to give him a slap on the back. One of the baristas slipped on the flour that hadn't been swept up from that mornings baking and she dropped everything she was holding. How would he get the coffee off the ceiling... Micah's face went pale. With the somewhat sneaky pat on the butt, Julius and Zac hightailed it out of there.

Luke pouted, Zac and that somewhat forward big guy were leaving, [color=f49ac2]"I hope to meet again soon!"[/color]

Mikaela's cheeks puffed out as he watched the blonde leave. The manager didn't even know how to react to something like that. Luckily, the baristas hadn't seen the move, having been so busy cleaning up, or they would have teased the poor father 'til his face never stopped blushing. 

Don't dwell on it... Micah had to get back to work. He ruffled Luke's hair passing him and called for all the employees to keep working and he would clean it up.
