Storm lay down at one of his favorite spots in the entire grounds of Noct’s place…castle rather, or mansion. Noct’s place was huge, and it should be, for he was the prince! Storm hadn’t ever lived in a place that was even normal sized. His parents had been poor when he was young, and after they had died…well a 13 year old couldn’t exactly afford a lot of things or a big place to live. It was good enough for him to have his shotgun and some clothes. It was still somewhat weird, to wake up and have his own huge room, walk out of that room, and have free range in a mansion, and be treated with respect by a lot of people just because you were one of the Prince’s best friends…
He smiled as he lay with the shotgun beside him. He was in the shade, beneath a huge oak tree, which was rooted into the hillside overlooking the mansion. This was where his shooting range was, on the grounds. He had built it, so that it was actually a challenge to his skills with his shotgun. He yawned and stretched lazily, before resting his hands behind his head and smiling to himself. He hadn’t seen Noct in a few days…which was unusual, but he also knew Noct had a lot going on with the council and everything…since Stella was here now. He sighed heavily, though he had gotten used to the idea that she would be living with them for awhile. He shrugged a little bit, he had talked to her little, and yet, he kinda liked her. She seemed sweet enough, although he was still a little bit hesitant around her. What the heck was he even supposed to say to her? She was supposed to be their enemy, but Noct didn’t seem to think of that, so he supposed he should either.
He chuckled a little bit, remembering their crazy conversation that day that Stella had come home with Noct. He must have been quite a sight, stuttering and having his jaw drop open all the time. He took in a deep breath, loving this spot. He came here quite a bit, and had labeled it, ‘his spot.’ The sun, was starting its decent, the sky was just starting to have a pinkish glow. Someone that came by, which would only be Alex, Noct or his other friend, would probably think him sleeping. Even though he did look like it, he was still aware of what was going on around him…or so he thought...

((I'll wait a few posts before I bring Stella in^^ XD))
"Night time coming...?" Alex had been in bed all day long....His condition made him stay in bed.....He hated sleeping this long...But he knew when there was no trouble affecting Noctis, he was allowed to sleep in....Alex devoted his life to keep Noctis safe....Instead of worrying about his own problems....Climbing out of bed he stretched....And went to his closet for clothes....He took his shower before he laid down...So he didn't have to worry about that now...Classical music still played on his IPod radio he had by his bed on an oak night stand....He liked listening to that as he slept....Plus it was a warning for those to not disturb him....He was either spending time to himself or sleeping....
After he got fully dressed he went to the small refrigerator he had placed in his room just recently....So when he needed to take his meds he could with out any one knowing....((I'm gonna let Storm already know about this^^ XD))....And opened it....He grabbed a black bag out of it....And unzipped it....He took out some small vile and filled a needle with it....He hated this...But if he didn't take it he would slip into a coma and die....This was the only meds that were able to keep him alive until he found a cure...Of course now two people knew about this...Noctis and Storm....But Alex trusted Storm....So he knew Storm would not blab about this.....
After he had taken his meds for the evening....He ventured out of his room....It was quiet in the palace since Noctis had not been around....But Alex too knew what was keeping the prince away....Hopefully Noctis was being safe....No one else was in the kitchen....Alex wasn't hungry either....He knew where Storm was with out even guessing....So he thought that it was about time he went to his friend and spend time with him....Since Storm knew everything , Alex and Storm had a better understanding of each other....
Alex walked out of the mansion or more like it palace....Hell, Alex had his lab in side.....He wanted to work more on trying to discover a cure....But he knew he spent way too much time in that room....And walked out side....The sun was just now setting....The sky was like a pinkish color....Alex liked that....He traveled towards where Storm was....And saw the blond laying down and taking it easy.....Alex smiled.... "Hey...." Alex said in the back of Storm.....

Storm lay there, humming under his breath, the grass ticked his body, even through his clothes. Just a few days before, he and Alex had been in Midgar, when he had learned about Alex’s sickness. He had been told that it was allergies, but when he had seen Alex’s meds and seen how he was reacting, he had known it was not allergies. Alex had told him everything, and though he had been shocked, he also knew how much it was probably hard for Alex to tell anyone else other then, as he now knew, Noct. He hadn’t known what to say, but he had been scared for Alex. It had taken Alex awhile to get his strength back at all, now he understood when Alex had in the past been so tired and worn out.
His mind wandered elsewhere, reverting again to Stella. At first, he had been worried that her father had put her up to spying on them, and then turning on them and handing them over to her father. He had gotten over that as she had grown in his liking, and yet, he was hesitant, something he wasn’t often. He couldn’t remember being shy around anyone for a long time, but he wasn’t exactly shy around her, he just had no idea what to say…
He wished Noct wasn’t so busy with the counsel and explaining Stella, why couldn’t they just get out of his business?! He wrinkled his nose at the thought, before stretching a little bit and grumbling under his breath. Noct would be back soon enough, he just had to enjoy his time to relax. It was hard to relax though, when there had always been so much fighting. He was probably the best at relaxing out of all of them though. He had gone out almost every night, doing stuff and having fun, but it didn’t seem the same…
He spent a lot of his time out here, just…thinking. It had been a long time since things had been so quiet here. It seemed like they were always fighting to keep that crystal safe…not that he minded, because he was with friends. He was so deep in thought that when the voice sounded, he jumped a little bit, and his blue eyes opened up quickly. His arms came out from under his head, as he sat up to the point where he was leaning against his elbows when his gaze caught Alex. He laughed a little bit when he realized it was Alex. He sat up all the way then. “Oh, hey man!” He smiled at Alex, before yawning. “Man, you scared me!” He didn’t mind, that’s what he got for not paying attention. “You’re looking a lot better! Feel any better?”

“Oh, hey man!” “Man, you scared me!” It was obvious. Alex knew how to sneak around like a cat on the prowl...He actually scared Noctis once....“You’re looking a lot better! Feel any better?”
"Yeah tons better thanks....I wouldn't be here if not for you...Look....About my father....Don't worry about hating him...He's dead...Besides.....It's my problem....Not yours...Any way, what are you up to today? I thought I'd enjoy the free time while it lasted!" Alex finally spilled the beans to Storm about his past....So Storm would know all about Alex's past....Now, Storm was more like a brother like Noctis was.....They were the only two that knew about his condition....
He decided today was a good day to get to know Storm better.....Maybe try the fun stuff he does....He did need to have more fun.....Besides Noctis, Alex was the second most quiet person in the whole palace.....Or mansion....Which is what it was....But it was big enough to be a palace....After all Noct was the prince! Alex too was a bit worried about Stella staying with them....But he knew what kind of father Stella had now....And he was trying to be nicer to her.....After all she tried to kill Noct one night on that lonely street....But luckily the fight was ended before more blood shed happened.....Alex couldn't live with himself if he lost Noctis....Noctis was also like a brother to Alex...

Storm smiled at Alex, he was a sneaky one, always so quiet and everything! Though he himself could handle himself pretty well, sometimes, he was such a clutz, bumping into things and making noise, although that was usually only when he wasn’t trying to be quiet. Alex…he was, other then Noct, the quietest person he had ever known. Although Noct wasn’t shy around Storm anymore, so he didn’t see that side of him as much as the normal person did…
Alex had told Storm everything, back there at the 7th heaven, he had been able to tell that Alex had had a hard time actually telling him about it. He had seemed a little bit reluctant, but when you seemed to be dying, and you were coughing up blood…you had to tell the truth, because just saying it was allergies wasn’t going to cut it anymore. He smiled at Alex. “I’m glad you feel better, I hated seeing you so sick and worn out!” He shrugged, not wanting to take credit for saving Alex’s life. He hadn’t had any idea what he was doing. It was only because Alex had told him what to do that he had been able to do it. He shrugged, “I really had no idea what the heck I was even doing, I just wanted to help!”
He hadn’t thought about hating the man, although how anyone could do that to his son was beyond him. How could you look into your sons eyes and do those things to him? And now Alex was holding onto life, he sighed, why couldn’t life ever be simple? “I…well I won’t hate him, but if I can help, I’d like to do that! If you ever need me to do something, or get you something to help, just say the word!”
He still sat there, leaning back on his elbows, watching the sun set in a ray of pink and purple. “Its pretty out here eh?” when Alex asked what he was up to, he shrugged, “Well, with Noct so busy and all with the council, we still have to protect the crystal and all, but things seem to be pretty quiet as of late! Today I was practicing with my shotgun, just to keep my edge!” He smiled, free time…usually they were always running, it felt nice to get some time where they could just relax, although he felt bad that Noct couldn’t relax like they could! “yeah! Free time, doesn’t come often around here does it!” He smiled, it was an exciting life, helping Noct protect his crystal, but he liked it! He glanced over at Alex, knowing what they were both thinking about. “So…what do you think of Stella living here?”

“I’m glad you feel better, I hated seeing you so sick and worn out!” "Hey it's cool...I'm fine for now....Don't worry your pretty blond head about it huh...?" He snickered at that...When Alex laughs he is feeling better.....
“I really had no idea what the heck I was even doing, I just wanted to help!” “I…well I won’t hate him, but if I can help, I’d like to do that! If you ever need me to do something, or get you something to help, just say the word!” "Thanks.....I can now at least count on two people.....I know you hate him....I still hate him....But I didn't wish him dead or anything...I was terrified of what my life would be like when he did leave me....But all turned out fine I guess...." Except for the sickness he has to carry around.....
“Its pretty out here eh?” Alex looked around a agreed with a nod....“Well, with Noct so busy and all with the council, we still have to protect the crystal and all, but things seem to be pretty quiet as of late! Today I was practicing with my shotgun, just to keep my edge!” "Yup...So right.....I can't let the crystal fall into the wrong hands....I vowed to Noctis I wouldn't....Practicing? Don't you have that shot gun mastered by now?" Alex joked a bit about last part.....
“Yeah! Free time, doesn’t come often around here does it!” “So…what do you think of Stella living here?” "I uh....At first didn't like the idea....But...I can't argue with Noctis...And so can no one else.....What he says goes....." Alex placed his hands in his pockets and kicked a pebble with his designer shoe.....He liked the classy like almost laid back look....He'd leave always almost all the time the two buttons on his collar shirt unbuttoned....Simply for the air....He hated getting hot....There was a reason he did that too....For his medical condition....He did everything he thought possible to keep his temp. to a normal level...."So...I thought, maybe you could teach me some about shot guns....I prefer a hand gun myself.....But I've never fired a big ass gun like that one.....It must be an adrenaline rush every time you fire that thing...." Alex pointed to his shot gun....Since he knew all his other pals had better hobbies than him...Maybe he could experiment in being an adrenaline junkie or some thing.....

Storm smiled, then started laughing his pretty blonde head? “Your just jealous of my hair!” he winked before shaking his head. He could tell that Alex was indeed feeling better though, he never laughed unless he did in fact feel better! He was glad that Alex had finally completely let him in. He knew Alex had always been more comfortable around Noct then himself, which he had never understood until Alex had told him everything. Then he had been able to appreciate why Alex had always been a little hesitant around him. Usually people lightened up when they were around him, just because he was more outgoing then a lot of people. He sighed when Alex said he still hated him. Well, how could he himself not be angry with Alex father? His loyalty to his friends made him wish he could bust Alex’s father up, but that wasn’t gonna happen so…better not to think to much about it.
“Yeah, now you got all of us with you, Noct, Scar and me to help! We’re all here for you!” (lolz I’m just gonna call the other dude Scar for now! xD) He watched Alex closely, wondering what was really going on through his mind. How would he take having all that done to him? Even though his parents hadn’t been rich, they had been great people, and he had loved them! He couldn’t imagine a dad ever doing that to his kid…Alex’s dad must have been a nightmare!
He nodded intently, “Yeah, if the other side ever got their hands on the crystal…Its best if its in Noct’s hands, he won’t let that power get to his head!” He looked up sharply when Alex teased him about practicing with his shotgun, his lips up with a grin. “Oh ho! You bet I do, the only one to carry a shotgun around with them being banned, I’d better have mastered it by now!” Shotguns were in fact banned in this country, but hey, most didn’t ask him about his past, and if they did, he just talked about his far past, with his parents, avoiding his recent past. (I did hear actually that the shotgun was banned in FFXIII versus so…xP)He liked Alex’s opinion, it was pretty close to his own. Yeah, I was pretty shocked when Noct first told me that she was gonna live with us. Especially with her past and her father and everything. But he seemed ok with the idea, and she seems nice enough, so I guess I don’t mind anymore. Except for the fact that he’s so busy with the council!”
He sat there still, but his eyes traced back to where Alex stood, hands in his pockets, kicking at a pebble. They were almost complete opposites. While Alex was quiet and always looked sharp in his suit, Storm was outgoing, rambunctious and never wore a suit of any kind. It didn’t fit him at all, where as Alex always looked good in his suits. He looked up with interest when Alex spoke of him learning a few things about his shotgun, and how to fire it. A smile split his face, he loved anything to do with his shotgun! He was proud of it too! Some might call him a bit of a rebel, since he carried a shotgun even though they were illegal, and…well his past history, being a fugitive and everything, not that anyone knew that…
“So you have come to the master to learn about shotguns eh?” He winked before standing up, his hand closing around the shogun as he did so. He flipped it up so that it rested against his right shoulder. No one could rival him with a shotgun, especially his own shotgun. He had modified it to the point where it was completely different from any shotgun you could just buy…not that you could simply buy a shotgun anyway with them being banned…back to the point…
“Yeah, it’s a pretty high powered shotgun! I modified it myself just for my liking!” The bottom barrel was the kind of bullet that normal shotguns carried, and when you shot with that, and hit what you were aiming at, it wouldn’t be there anymore. The bullets were so powerful, and scattered in such a wide range that you could be sure what you hit wouldn’t move again…ever…The top barrel, had bullets that had a more concentrated range. The bullets, though just as powerful, didn’t scatter so far, and thus, didn’t mess up the surrounding area. Like when they had been in the Bar with the heartless, and he had used the top barrel so that it hadn’t messed up the bar while he took them out. “Pretty much, its nothing like the normal shotgun except for how it looks! I liked the way it looked to the eye, but everything else about it, is different!” Snapping it open, he showed Alex where the bullets went, before snapping it back together!
He glanced over at Alex, “wanna shoot it?” Now normally, he didn’t let anyone, ever, for any reason touch his shotgun. What happened if they were playing with it and couldn’t handle the power? Or it they got in trouble for carrying a shotgun around? Or he needed it for fighting? Right now though, it was Alex, they were at Noct’s mansion, with no one else around, and he trusted Alex fully now. He knew Alex wouldn’t do anything stupid, and he was right here to instruct Alex, and teach him the correct way how to handle his extremely high powered gun. The funny thing was, that Storm handled it like a handgun. After having a shotgun for so long, he could simply point and shoot it, and still keep his arm from the kick of the gun. And a extreme kick it did have, enough to blow off your arm if you weren’t paying attention.

“Your just jealous of my hair!” Alexander laughed out loud then....Storm was the one that always could make him laugh.....“Yeah, now you got all of us with you, Noct, Scar and me to help! We’re all here for you!” "Yeah...I know." “Yeah, if the other side ever got their hands on the crystal…Its best if its in Noct’s hands, he won’t let that power get to his head!” " I hope not.....It's like lately all he worries about....I'm worried about him....I know it was placed in his hands...But I can't help but worry about him....." Alex knew what Storm meant....He didn't want the crystal to just take over Noct's life.....Like him, Noct needed another desecration..... “Oh ho! You bet I do, the only one to carry a shotgun around with them being banned, I’d better have mastered it by now!” "Only you are brave enough to do that....Me....Nah...But as for fun with it....? I see no harm in that....." Alex did worry about Storm though.....Carrying around an illegal weapon like that....This guy's got balls!!
“Yeah, I was pretty shocked when Noct first told me that she was gonna live with us. Especially with her past and her father and everything. But he seemed ok with the idea, and she seems nice enough, so I guess I don’t mind anymore. Except for the fact that he’s so busy with the council!”
“So you have come to the master to learn about shotguns eh?” “Yeah, it’s a pretty high powered shotgun! I modified it myself just for my liking!” “Pretty much, its nothing like the normal shotgun except for how it looks! I liked the way it looked to the eye, but everything else about it, is different!” “Wanna shoot it?” "I've actually come to learn yeah.....Illegal weapons muse me for some reason.....Me....? Shoot it? I might not be strong enough for that...But if you think I can...Why the hell now?! Lemme at least hold it...." Hell, Storm was the only one that has ever driven his car.....He could let Alex do this.....Alex was a bit hesitant....But he was hopeful....He wanted to try new things....He was happy today...That spark was in his eyes.....And that would be like a sigh for Storm.....No worries! Just fun for once! It was amazing though these two guys being buddies like this....And yet neither of them had a girl....? That was weird! Seems that the young prince was the only one that was scoring in that topic....Speaking of which now Alex was hearing foot steps in the back of him just as Storm had earlier......
((This is where I bring Stella in^^ XD

Stella was a lone that morning. She missed Noctis being here since he saved her that terrible night...But she knew where he was....so she should not worry about him....She had her breakfast delivered to her room by a helpful maid that usually assisted Noctis....But since he was away, she was helping Stella today...Stella felt at home now....For she had a personal servant back home....Stella was nice to the maid too....She never treated them like trash......"You can take a break now if you want to...." "Thank you Miss. Stella...." The girl maid replied and left the room with a smile....Stella ate her breakfast in bed....and got out her lap top....Her emails where private.....She checked them all....They were all from her father...Telling her that she made a big mistake.....That she moved out his house and in to Noctis's.....The messages were so hurtful that one said that Noctis was gonna hurt her eventually...He would not have a choice! And she closed the lap top up and slid it across the bed! And laid her face on her knees....And cried....As much as she hated to believe him....Her father was right....Noctis will eventually turn his back on her....Simply because what she is......She then heard laughter out side her bed room window....And walked over and saw the two men she met when she first arrived here.....She got their names....Alex and Storm....She knew what their jobs were.....To protect the crystal.....She dried her tears....And thought maybe they would allow her to join in on the fun...So she walked out of the mansion and right to the spot they were at.....

Storm laughed when Alex did. “yeah, he’s been worrying a lot lately…I don’t like it either, but there isn’t much we can do but be there for him and hope that he’ll be alright! He’s probably the strongest guy I know! And with us there helping him, he’ll for sure be alright!” Now even if Storm was thinking negative thoughts, didn’t mean he would speak them out loud when it came to fighting and his friends. If he was scared for Noct, he wouldn’t come out and just make everyone more worried. He tried to think of the positive in all situations. There was usually enough angst without him adding to it…
He chuckled when Alex called him brave for carrying around a shotgun. “eh Brave? Nah, just Pissed off? Rebellious maybe…but Probably just plain stupid!” He winked at Alex then. [color=FFF000“meh, I just know a lot of the time, having someone tell me what to do pisses me off, and so? I carry around this Shotgun…although I probably do it more for other reasons…”
[/color] He thought back to his father, buying him his first shotgun before they were illegal, even though they had no money. “No, its more then that…” but he didn’t say anything else about it. He wasn’t gonna go into a sob story about his childhood, it wasn’t even worth hearing! Besides, Alex might ask more, and he didn’t really know if he wanted everyone knowing he was a fugitive. He didn’t even know if Noct knew that, maybe… He nodded when Alex said he might not be strong enough. “Yeah, I guess its up to you if you think your strong enough after that bad time you had at the 7th heaven! I don’t wanna push you or anything, since you were pretty weak after that!” He grinned, no one could resist the shotgun! He nodded, before handing the shotgun to Alex. He didn’t hesitate, almost anyone else he wouldn’t even think of giving it to them. He smiled at Alex, “Just don’t kill yourself with it!” He knew that he was the only one Alex had ever let drive his car, and Alex would be the first one to handle his shotgun other then him… He smiled at him. “If you wanna shoot it, just pump the lever once, and she’s ready to go for all 5 shots in both barrels!” most guns you have to pump the lever for each shot…just another modifying thing he had done to it! It was pretty simple really… ”Oh, and just brace yourself for the kick! Its like a mule!” He nodded, crossing his arms and smiling, watching Alex’s amazement at his shotgun. And then he heard footsteps… Turning, his eyes caught Stella as she walked towards them. “Here she comes!” He said when she was still a ways off. He watched her out of the corner of his eye, and when she got close, turned toward her, a relaxed smile on his face. “Heya Stella…” He probably should call her Miss Fleuret, but that really stuck in his throat. He wasn’t used to being formal with people…it just wasn’t him! His smile was nice, eyes sparkled. “Wanna join us?” He didn’t think what they were doing would interest practically a princess like herself, but hey, She seemed nice, so he was going to try to include her. He had to make up for his reaction to her before… [/center] |

“Yeah, he’s been worrying a lot lately…I don’t like it either, but there isn’t much we can do but be there for him and hope that he’ll be alright! He’s probably the strongest guy I know! And with us there helping him, he’ll for sure be alright!” “Eh Brave? Nah, just Pissed off? Rebellious maybe…but Probably just plain stupid!” “Yeah, I guess its up to you if you think your strong enough after that bad time you had at the 7th heaven! I don’t wanna push you or anything, since you were pretty weak after that!” "Storm....It's okay....I'm fine now....Okay...." Alex didn't want Storm to worry....That's why he hadn't said a thing to his friend about his condition....He knew Storm and the others would probably worried half to death....
“Just don’t kill yourself with it!” Alex laughed! There was no way he was gonna do that....Not now....Noct had helped him realize how important life was.... “If you wanna shoot it, just pump the lever once, and she’s ready to go for all 5 shots in both barrels!” ”Oh, and just brace yourself for the kick! Its like a mule!”
Alex laughed as he got in a good position....He was not scared at all about firing a gun...He actually had his own hand gun! But Storm was right....Rifles were much more powerful....So he had to hold on tightly! Alex then started to pump the gun....Like Storm instructed....Soon it was ready for firing! And Alex found the perfect target! He steadied his feet and braced himself....Just in case the impact would be more for him to handle! Just holding the thing, made Alex smile....He would've thought that Storm would let no one hold his gun....Let alone fire it!
But here he was....Storm owned him one any way....Since when back at Edge, Storm drove his car....But still Alex said nothing about that....Alex knew he was not able to drive that horrible night...But, maybe this was a way to pay him back....Soon Alex placed his finger on the trigger! And got ready to fire! After that first shot was fired, Alex was thrown a bit backwards! Wow! This was awesome! He had missed the first aim....
But he got better at the second fire....And was closer to hitting his huge glass jar! He grazed it with the second shot! "WOW!! This thing is powerful!! I like it!!" He mused with Storm....When he was getting ready to fire a third time, he heard some one else approach them....And he lowered the gun....and placed it on safety....
“Here she comes!” “Wanna join us?” As Alex turned around there was Stella..."Miss. Fleuret....Good to see....you." Alex had no clue how to address her.....“Wanna join us?”
"Yeah....Please....."

Stella of course was hesitant to join them...She didn't know if they trusted her yet....She missed Noctis....Maybe if he was here. She wouldn't feel all shy....Like at the bon-fire a few weeks ago that was amazing! Wait was that their first date? Stella would ask Noctis.....But she knew how he was.....So she would just keep that to herself....She was in love with him....She knew she was. That first kiss they shared that night on the bridge and the way he rescued her in that dark alley was enough to tell her, he had strong feelings for her....But knowing Noctis, he would probably most likely never say it....He was just like that....That's who he was....But he did tell her a lot in actions and that was enough to convince her that he felt the same way she did....
“Wanna join us?” Stella smiled sweetly as she always had....And nodded at what the one named Storm asked...She edged on a bit closer to them....
"Miss. Fleuret....Good to see....you......." "Yeah....Please....." They had asked her to join....That was polite....She saw that Alex was loss for wording towards her...But she looked down and smiled....
"It's okay Alex....You can just call me Stella....No need to be formal here...." She hoped that would calm his uneasiness around her down....She then saw the big rifle and was a bit edgy around weapons like that....They were after all illegal.....Even Stella knew that...But she would not pry on it....Not if she wanted Alex and Storm to be her new friends.....

Storm laughed and put his arms behind his shoulder as Alex told him that he was alright. “I believe you man! Have fun.” He stood back a few steps while Alex took the shotgun and started handling it. He did watch like a hawk, but he didn’t say anything. He knew he was overly protective of his shotgun, but most times he couldn’t help himself. The gun always shone like it was brand new, and he got angry if someone tried to harm it. When fighting, he was his happy go lucky self, although with a hint of deadly confidence. He only got angry when something happened to either his friends or his gun…
He watched Alex smile as he handled the high powered rifle. Now a handgun did feel powerful when you were holding it, but nothing compared to a rifle or shotgun. He himself preferred the feel of complete raw power, he just had a love for shotguns. He knew Noct thought it unhealthy, but he couldn’t help it. He smiled as well, his fingers moving restlessly, although he didn’t say anything about it. It was just weird…seeing his gun in someone else’s hands. Alex should know how good of a friend he was to Storm that he would let him handle the gun.
Storm smiled when Alex first shot it, the look on his face showed that he liked it a lot. He nodded, “Yup, don’t ya love that power?” He put his hands on his waist and laughed at Alex. When he lowered the gun he remembered Stella. “Miss. Fleuret…” He heart Alex speak and was reminded that he probably should have called her that as well. He shrugged, to late now, and besides, he just wasn’t used to being formal. He just kept grinning as Stella gave them a hesitant, sweet little smile. He let his arms slide down from his waist and kinda waved her closer, his easy, genuine, friendly smile was still up on his lips. When she said that they didn’t have to be formal he gave a little relieved release of breath.
He saw her give a weird look toward his shotgun and wondered if he should approach the subject. He wasn’t sure, after all she didn’t say anything about it. He knew people knew Shotguns were illegal, but well…did Stella mind? She seemed to be trying to fit in, so he didn’t start that subject. “We were just target practicing!” He ran a hand through his messy blonde hair and looked at Alex to help him with the conversation. “Is everything good? Like…uh…enough?” He was trying, but he didn’t exactly know what to say to her. “Are Alex and I just too fun to resist being around or are you that bored?” He winked at her, before crossing his arms. “I hope that you like it here! The grounds are super pretty, maybe Alex and I could show you around or something!”

"It's okay Alex....You can just call me Stella....No need to be formal here...." “I believe you man! Have fun.” “Yup, don’t ya love that power?” “We were just target practicing!” “Is everything good? Like…uh…enough?” “Are Alex and I just too fun to resist being around or are you that bored?” “I hope that you like it here! The grounds are super pretty, maybe Alex and I could show you around or something!”
Alex just nodded at what Stella did....He already knew her name....And knew what she was doing here.....But he wasn't going to let her taunt him again.....He just stayed his distance from her....All that she told him had to be a lie.....He couldn't be her brother....He still as yet to find out if she was lying that night or not.....Not even Noctis knew about this....you think he was gonna tell Storm this? "She's not bored...." Alex just spat out at her.....There was a sudden feel of tension....But Alex said that low so Stella could not hear him....Alex looked up at Storm like a WTF expression?!! You want her to hang around us?!!
"Storm....I'm sure she doesn't want that to be given a tour.....Besides......I'm sure Noctis showed her every where around here when she....came." Alex stopped talking.....That was the longest sentence Storm would ever see Alex give in a normal conversation.....All of a sudden the peaceful moment faded for Alex....He wanted to leave but he couldn't leave Storm alone with Stella.....

Stella did like it here....And she did have everything that she needed....She was happy, finally! There was just one flaw....Alex.....Her brother....Biological brother in fact....Did he know everything by now....?
"She's not bored...." "Storm....I'm sure she doesn't want that to be given a tour.....Besides......I'm sure Noctis showed her every where around here when she....came."
"Yes, he did actually. And no I'm not bored Alex....Thanks for pointing that out.....I just thought I'd get to know you guys better.....You seem to get along very well....." Stella smiled slightly at Alex.....who just dissed her and turned away.....Stella wanted to get on a good side with Alex....But would she ever get that? Probably not....she looked down as soon as Alex turned away.....She could hear Alex laughing and talking when she was walking towards him but now it seemed that he just closed up....She knew this was kinda awkward for Storm too.....Why would Alex just flat out ignore her....? He'd better learn to communicate with her if not, all of them even Noctis would see there was some thing wrong between the two......
Stella had hoped that Alex had said nothing to them about their sibling rival thing....But, she couldn't shut Alex up if he choose to tell everyone.....He's more than likely already told Noctis......and she was worried about that especially.....What if he did find out.....? That Noctis's closest and quietest friend turns out to be the one that had to kill her.....? She couldn't let that happen....She would have to get Alex alone and ask him that most definitely....
