So he's a bit of a Fixer Upper [Silver Fox]

Immediately after Micah prostrated himself, Luke tried to pull him up. This wasn't like Papa... Was there some kind of problem between the two of them? And if there was... Why would he make Luke stay with him. He looked helplessly between the two, his small hands balled into fists. He was too unnerved by the situation and if the vampire dude said no, where would they go?

But then the guy ruffled Mikaela's hair. It was such a sweet gesture. Sure, Luke had seen Hank tease the tiny father of his, but nothing... this innocent and nice. The gesture even made little Luke blush, he had just started his first crush after all... and not only on an older person, but a man.

Shock splashed on Mikaela's face when Alver lightly touched his head. But he soon started to blush, the albino was just so nice... so, so sweet. The taller man was soon entice both father and son. His chest tightened when the large Tupperware collided with his chest. His ramblings had slipped into something unintelligible before he went silent.

His head drooped again when the other male accepted his request, his eyes filled with happiness are dewy. It was true he had been working a bit too hard recently, making him about ready to keel over. If Micah didn't get someone to look after Luke, he wouldn't get his naps that were seemingly longer than his nighttime rest. His face when a little redder when he realized he probably hadn't explained exactly who Alver was. The only factors he had mentioned to his son were that Alver was an old friend and he was a great motherly figure.

But after seeing Alver's motherly smile turn towards Luke, he knew everything would turn out alright in the end. He wanted to get up and huge him right now.

As soon as those smiling reddish eyes connected with Luke's, his fists went limp. The boy was feeling all shy with that kind of smile coming towards him full force. Sure, Mikaela was a great father... but Luke had never gotten the opportunity to experience a motherly gaze. Luke wanted to go hide behind his Papa's back but... a part of him stopped him from doing that. Not being able to really voice his thoughts properly yet, he just nodded and his small fingers slipped into the palm of Alver's elegant hand. "Luke Winter..."

The interaction almost brought Micah to tears. "Thank you!" With a happy cry, he took a few steps forward on his knees to hug the both of them. Mikaela spontaneously kissed the top of Luke's head and almost did the same to Alver... until he realized what he was doing... His face went super red again and he hid his head in Luke's hair.

"T-Thank you... I'm really asking too much..." Even his ears were red.

"Who even is this guy anyway? What is he like?" The small boy sat in the backseat of their tiny blue Nissan Micra hand-me-down. Supposedly, the car had originally belonged to Hank's little sister, who got it from their aunt. The car worked well enough, but since they never really had extra money for gas, the car itself wasn't used much. Luke was extremely wary of going to stay over at Mikaela's old friend's house. The directions to the out of the way cottage sat on Micah's lap, a second copy with Luke since his father was horrible with directions. If only they hadn't broken the GPS a few weeks earlier...

It was lucky that Zac was available earlier, he had given directions to a rather blushy Luke, making sure that at least the little boy near the way. And now that the problem of the route was out of the way, Luke was interrogating Micah about this 'friend' of his.

"Alver is the best person to take care of you! Why, when we were children, everyone called him Mother, I still call him that! Even though he scolded me for it..." Mikaela lightly touched his cheek with one hand, the other on the wheel, his face turning a little pink. The albino had pinched his cheeks twice at the party! One when he called the younger Mother and the other when he had swore at him.

Alver... he, he looked the same, yet different. The albino didn't look unisex like he did way back when, even with the long hair. His height was an added factor but... the little boy had definitely grown. Micah! Stop thinking about that-

"Turn right, Papa!" Luke squealed from the back as they passed by the turn. With a little murmur of an insult to himself, Micah turned into a driveway to turn around. Why was he getting so nervous? It wasn't like... any of those feelings between them were still around from middle school or anything.

Mikaela himself still needed to apologize about it, but the 29-year-old man never wanted to bring it up. There was nothing wrong with being gay- far from it! And... that was so mean and cruel of him...

Luke was sulking, his papa had completely ignored him halfway through the trip, blushing and lost in thought. The baka father had gone and missed the turn too! What was the little boy to do with such a wayward father? The reached the driveway of the rather large house and both of the Winters' mouths dropped open involuntarily.

Micah had known his old friend had been doing well thanks to their talk at the party, but... Wow. Both dumbfounded, the man rang the doorbell. Luke stood in front of his Papa almost protectively. The door opened and... a giant peeked his head through!

The little boy stared up, his eyes wide at the really really tall guy greeted Micah. He was super tall, but his hair was also like a girls, so flowy and shiny that Luke wanted to braid it. The color was supernatural as well, leaving Luke to watch fascinated. The Albino's eyes were only a few shades of Lavender lighter than his own, he was the most normal of the group of three.

W-Wait! Luke couldn't keep thinking about this! He had to be suspicious- suspicious! This guy was super thin and ghostly pale, almost like he could eat a whole person, and no way was he eating Papa!

While Luke was having this inner monologue, Mikaela was staring at Alver with an apologetic smile. It wasn't that he thought Alver would reject him, but the albino might be reluctant. At the mention that he was surprised, Micah's head drooped a little bit, the man hoped he hadn't woken the other up.

But when Alver smiled down at Luke, Micah lit up like a happy go lucky puppy. He ushered Luke in quickly, doing as the albino said and reaching to help Luke. The little boy blushed in embarrassment, murmuring about how he could take off his own shoes. After their little moment, Micah stood up and walked into the living room. "U-Uh um! This is Luke, my son, just turned 10. He's in fourth grade and is really good and housework and-"

Micah was interrupted by Luke pulling on his coat, oh no, he had been rambling again! "Well it's um..." He tried to continue talking as they made their way into the dining room. "I don't really have much time before my night shift at work starts, but I really need to get everything settled and..."
Remembering the manga books he had read, and the fact that at sometime Alver had been a fan, Micah got down on his knees and exclaimed, "Could you um, take care of Luke a few nights this week? I'll be back by 10 pm, but Jocelyn can't take care of him- Oh! Jocelyn is my next door neighbor- And she's going on holiday with her son to Hawaii or something and I don't have anyone to watch him and-"

@Silver Fox

Luke's gonna be the overprotective suspicious one for his dad. Who is this vampire person?

@Silver Fox
It's too bad the Miky doesn't have anytime to eat anything. He'll have to like steal a cookie and run out the door.

Ok~ I'll reply once my guests leave.

It had been a few days after the party. Seemed like Zac knew the impact of getting the old gang back together would be huge... so he left them alone, for now. Mikaela was back to his old schedule again, but Luke still had off school. Something or other was going on with the grading website, so the few days turned into a few more. That was all fine and dandy for Luke, but the little boy had some time to kill. After the first few days, Micah started to feel bad that Luke would have to stay at the cafe for so long... even if all the customers loved the tiny child.

Mikaela had taken another long nap again. Luckily for everybody, he didn't have any dreams, too caught up in exhaustion. The restaurant he had been working at during the night was giving him long hours to pick up the slack for a recently fired employee. Hank had done all he could to persuade their boss... to no avail. The 29-year-old was sprawled over his bed on his stomach, blanket lazily pulled over his body with both his feet sticking out. Even though it was late fall, the days were still plenty warm, so there was no real need to bundle up.

But it wasn't his little son Luke to wake him up from his slumber this time, but the sound of a doorbell.

Micah finally got up from bed and wiped his eyes. The man was still in his uniform, although it was rather rumpled. He smoothed out the bangs coming over his eyes before toeing over to the front door. Standing there was Jocelyn, the nice old woman that lived next door. She had always been kind enough to take care of Luke during the nighttime when Mikaela was busy at work...

"What can I help you with Jocelyn?" He said, still only half awake. Luke came up from behind him wearing a tiny apron, he had been cleaning some of the house while his father slept.

"Granny!" Luke happily cheered seeing the woman who was practically family to them. He hopped out from behind Mikaela and hugged her leg.

"Well hello dearie!" She patted Luke's head, her eyes looking a little sorrowful.

It turned out... Jocelyn was going to be gone for almost a week, to go off to Hawaii or somewhere with her nephew. Mikaela himself hadn't ever met the man, but there was no way to change the dates since the plane tickets had already been bought. The older woman was truly very sorry for putting them out like this, but there was really nothing she could do. Mikaela said that it was no biggie... though of course it was.

Who would Micah be able to have watch over Luke? There only person he really had any real contact with was Hank, who was working the nights along with him. The father didn't feel too comfortable leaving his son with his coworkers from the cafe for so long and...

And... no, there was someone who could take care of Luke. Someone Mikaela knew would be perfect for the job. The "mother hen" of his old friend group. The one that had confessed...

The one he had turned down and he had basically called gross.

B-But they were both past that now! Everything had gone well enough at the party... There was no way Alver would turn him done... right?

Before Luke knew it, a bunch of his things had been packed up in an overnight bag. Something about him staying with an old friend... Then how come Luke had never met this person??? The boy had met Zac, who he was maybe having his first crush on... But how could his Papa just go and give him over to a complete stranger?!

Jocelyn had canceled on extremely short notice, there was no way Micah would have been able to tell Alver everything over the phone. Instead, he had left a message on Alver's voicemail that he was coming over... and he needed a big favor.

@Silver Fox

Did I mention before how much I love the different phrases Alver uses to replace swears? They are so funny!

So he's a bit of a Fixer Upper [Silver Fox]

@Silver Fox

But I think Micah would be totally excited that he draws manga~

And so he will continue to call him mother~

...Until something happens between them heheh.

So he's a bit of a Fixer Upper [Silver Fox]

So now that I've read over the rp. Here's a few things I want to clarify:

-How about Alver noticed that whenever there was a picture taken, he would turn his face away
-I wanna know what was Alver's reaction Micah calling him "Mother!"
-And how about at the party, Micah told Alver a bunch about the cafe. If you want him to, Alver could have told Micah about his manga.

@Silver Fox

I'll write the first one after talking about this.
