September 24th Lunch Time

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly wasn't feeling to well over his actions or the news about his family history and came to the conclusion that something needed to be done to take his mind off this morning. Not that I regret kissing Zach...He was a good kisser though. I just didn't expect that to happen. They're something between us though. Atleast I feel something.

He sat at the bar and waited till the bartender to notice him. He ordered a few shots of tequila and sat there silenty wondering about his real family history. What does this mean about me? I guess I'm not a St Luc anymore? I don't want to be anyone else though. I wish my grandmother was here to guide me. Kelly reached for his chest and held a small silver cross that his grandmother had given him many years ago.

[Marcus Kingston]

Marcus slipped out of the arcade. He had a huge grin on his face. He completely owned at some shooter that was in there. He wasn't hard to notice Kelly and he hopped onto a barstool beside him.

"What's up buddy?"

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly had already had a few shots before Marcus arrived. He sat hunched on the barstool and order some more tequila. "And some for my good friend Merkus...." He had never been good at holding his liquor and was intoxicated easily. His forest green shirt was half way unsnapped and they snaps did not line up. Kelly turned his head to Marcus and raised the shot glass towards him, "Hiya big guy!"

[Marcus Kingston]

Marcus smirked and rose an eyebrow at Kelly's state. "Hey man. What's the occasion that's got you throwing back tequila so early?" He took a look at the bottle then back at Kelly. "I'm hoping you're not the only one that's been killing that bottle. Too many shots of that will destroy you."

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly roated his body to face Marcus', "Merkus...tell me. Do you find me sexually attractive?" Kelly didn't wink and was also not in his right mind. His placed an arm on his chin to keep his head up.

[Marcus Kingston]

What the hell kind of question is that? Shit..he probably saw me staring in the bathroom.. He glanced off to the side, taking a shot of the tequila that was given to him.

"..What's that matter?"

[Kelly St Luc]

He lifted a claws from his other hand and waved it infront of Marcus' face, "I want to let you know that I'm not who you think I am." After he spoke his reached for another drink. His voice lowered to a whisper and repeated, "I'm not who you think I am."

[Marcus Kingston]

He reached over, taking the drink from Kelly. He sat it down on the other side of himself. The bottle of tequila soon joining it. "That's enough Kelly."

"And just who do I think you are anyway?"

[Kelly St Luc]

"It's never enough!" He wasn't talking about the booze, "I can't do anything just enough..." Kelly closed his eyes and attempted to place a hand on Marcus' shoulder but lightly started to pat his lower arm. "I'm not Kelly St Luc..."

[Marcus Kingston]

"You're not Kelly St Luc? Just what are you getting at..?"

He also wasn't sure what this had to do with Kelly being attractive or whatever but he was glad that wasn't the focus anymore. "What are you even supposed to be trying to do?"

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly finally opened his eyes and grabbed Marcus shoulder, "I'm still me but not St Luc me...don't you get it?" He said with a tone as if Marcus wasn't smart enough to follow.

Kelly leaned closer to Marcus and gave him a wink, "Tell me...what do you read from me?"

[Marcus Kingston]

For a second, Marcus's face held and expression that Kelly had went flat out crazy but it faded, realizing that he was still just drunk.

He sighed, wanting to help but not even sure where to begin. "Right now? Only that you're drunk as hell."

[Kelly St Luc]

He pulled his head back, "I'm drunk?! I think that the world is drunk with the lies we keep! A hex on our parents for their lies! I'm no longer who I am. I'm someone else...someone I don't want to be...He murdered you know...Taking lives away from the innocent." Kelly looked away from Marcus and tried to stand up, "What's worse is that she loved him!" He didn't seem to sturdy and was about to fall.

[Marcus Kingston]

He frowned and then stood up quickly reaching out to take a hold of Kelly and keep him from steady. "Whoa now..relax. Your parents lied to you about something?" He thought about what Kelly was trying to say. "You know Kelly..you are who you want to be. It doesn't really matter what other people think.."

[Kelly St Luc]

"Merkus I'm not following...You're not following me...I am not who I am. I know who you are no not I." Kelly reached around Marcus for another drink.

[Marcus Kingston]

"Are you still worried about your last name or something?" He quirked a brow. "Kelly. What I know of you is from when we met and forward. You're a good friend and that's what matters. That's all I really need to know of you. I don't know what your parents did..or whatever stuff in the past you're talking about but. I think I know you pretty well."

[Kelly St Luc]

"You don't know him though...He is half me," Kelly's eyes watered up as he held onto Marcus for support. "Marcus...I don't know what to do..."

[Marcus Kingston]

"Half you..?" He finally got more of an idea of what this was about. "Man. It doesn't matter who that guy is. You control you. You control your actions and you live your own life. Letting yourself sit back and blame anything like that on someone else is only an excuse."

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly had reached the bottle but spilt it when he tried to grasp it. "Easy for you to say. Your father is who again?" Kelly didn't mean to be harsh he just wasn't in his right mind. Kelly finally let some tears out when the bottle emptied itself.

He put his face in Marcus' chest. "Why would she do that? To him?!"

[Marcus Kingston]

"Currently, he's an asshole who hates me for being gay and would of probably disowned me if my mother wasn't there." He said sternly.

He sighed, staring down at Kelly. "I don't know..Kelly. People have their reasons..for whatever they do. Doesn't make them always the greatest but...you can't let that make you think worse of yourself. It's not your fault."

[Kelly St Luc]

"Want to trade fathers?" Kelly got that sentence out cleaerly before he started to gag.

[Marcus Kingston]

Oh god..

He put his hands on Kelly's shoulder and started to push him back, at least to not get any potential vomit all over his shirt. He could deal with it on his jeans or shoes.

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly started to cough, "Oh god...I hate this part..." He started gagging again and released his tequila and stomach acid on Marcus' jeans. His eyes looked like they were going to pop out as he stopped his vomiting. "Marcus...I don't feel well."

[Marcus Kingston]

He sighed, knewing that was coming. He looked a little disgusted but he patted Kelly on the shoulder. "Now that you threw up..you're start to feel a little better. We should get you back to your room..and then you should probably get cleaned up.." He said. "Barkeep..friend vomitted over here..sorry."

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly leaned on Marcus because he did not have the eneregy or the stability to do it himself. His eyes were half way opened and his skin was flushed of color. Still feeling the intoxication he told Marcus, "Marcus I kissed someone..."

[Marcus Kingston]

He had no probably helping Kelly stay up. He quirked a brow. "Huh? Isn't that a good thing? Or did the chick freak out? You need to learn your cues better Kelly.." He said, starting to help him towards the exit.

[Kelly St Luc]

"Well you are right and wrong," Kelly said somewhat drained. Kelly put his arm around Marcus for better stability. He wiped his forehead of sweat and then his lips, "I did freak them out...I don't know what came over me. The situation was getting all sexy..." Kelly gave a large sigh.

[Marcus Kingston]

He laughed. "Well, if the situation was getting all sexy..then maybe the cue was there? I'm sorry you freaked her out though. Uh, did you apologize at least?"

[Kelly St Luc]

"No I didn't aplogize to him." Kelly stumbled on his own feet. "In fact I said I wasn't gonna!"

[Marcus Kingston]

"Him..?" He asked curiously. "You kissed a guy Kelly?" He asked again simply for clarification. "Anyway..how did he take it?"

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly musically said, "I kissed a guy and I liked it." He paused with the second question from Marcus, "I can't remember. Freaked out at first but he couldn't resist the old Kelly Charm." He looked at Marcus and winked. "Yeah you know what I'm talking about," he teased as he tried to keep his eyes open.

[Marcus Kingston]

He laughed. "Same ol Kelly huh?" He wanted to ask who the guy was but that didn't matter. "If that's the case then I think you should be fine right. What's the problem?"

[Kelly St Luc]

Kelly looked away towards the ground as he usualy did in strange situations, "I don't want to talk about my probles anymore. Let them consume me for a little while longer."

[Marcus Kingston]

"Okay okay..lets get you back to your room then."

[Kelly St Luc]

"I don't want to go there. Not now anyway. I don't want to be reminded of anything that is me." Kelly got his words out barely as he looked towards the doorway.

[Marcus Kingston]

"Aw, come on man. You can't let this stuff eat at you.." He said and walked Kelly out of the XUB, heading for Kelly's anyway unless Kelly was still firmly against it later.
