Bounded To You (Star-Crossed)

Chapter 51 - Mine

"After Blayth left here, he found out something about their past. He and Noah are brothers. By blood." Tobias added.

Lucius looked at him with surprise, eyes wide and mouth opened before he turned to the door and rushed out of there to Noah's room where he knew he'd be for his measurements. "Is it true?! Why didn't you tell me?" Lucius asked as he entered the room.

"What is true?" Noah asked, dropping his arm from where Blayth was measuring it.

"You two are brothers. Is it true?" Lucius asked.

Noah frowned, glancing at Blayth then back at Lucius as he asked, "I didn't tell you?"

"You didn't tell him?" Blayth asked, slapping his hand against Noah's shoulder.

"Shut it, you were the one he was talking to for how long? A month before I realized he remembered? So why didn't you tell him?" Noah asked, "That reminds me, I still didn't yell at you for that."

"Don't turn this on me, asshole. You are his fiancé." Blayth argued.

"Stop cursing at me. Respect your older brother." Noah scolded, making Blayth stick his tongue out. Their banter was interrupted when Lucius started laughing.

"Oh god, you are brothers." Lucius laughed more, his laughter getting louder, making the two look at each other before glancing back at Lucius.

"Lu, are you alright?" Noah asked.

"The irony. How did this happen? You've known each other for so long, and you just found out about it not even 20 years ago. How is that even possible?" Lucius asked.

"We were just as shocked." Blayth said with a shrug, "When Zach told me I didn't believe him."

Lucius's laugh died as he asked, "Zach? Why would you believe him?"

"I didn't. But then Liam ran a test that confirmed it and..." Blayth said, smiling as he glanced at Noah, "I confess, I didn't see it before, but Noah is a copy of my mother... our mother." He corrected.

Lucius let a small smile touch his lips as he turned to Noah, their eyes meeting before he said, "You have a blood relative. A member of your family that is alive."

Noah smiled back, nodding, "As annoying as he is." He glanced sideways at Blayth who glared.

"You have no idea how happy I am for you." Lucius said, walking up to them, taking a hold of each of their hands and looking between them. "I am so happy. It is what you've always dreamed of. To know where you came from." Noah lifted his other hand, cupping Lucius's cheek.

"Well he is kind of useless. He knows nothing about our grandparents." Noah said.

"Mother and father are enough." Blayth shrugged, letting a little laugh escape him as he looked at Noah, "His reaction is just as you said it would be. Guess you do know him too well."

"That's what happens when you know someone for decades." Noah told Blayth.

"Lucius, we weren't done." Tobias said as he walked in behind him, "I will need time to make the clothes, so I need the measurements now."

Lucius turned to glance at Tobias before looking back at Noah as he said, "Ran out of excuses to pull away. Can you help?" Noah frowned before he saw the desperate look in Lucius's eyes, making him nod.

"Tobias, how about I take Lucius's measurements for you?" Noah said, making Tobias shake his head.

"We are almost done, there is no need." Tobias said, "Come along."

"I want Noah to do it." Lucius said, "I can't explain it, I just..." Lucius pressed his lips in a tight line as he looked away from Tobias's questioning eyes.
