That one exception

Part 22

I was able to get my arms further down his torso and get a better grip on him as he struggled, lifting him clear off his feet, to my surprise he began to try and climb over my 6'5" frame as I began to carry him out of the club. As we got further away from the main room and away from the music I could hear him threatening and swearing. Exiting the building I saw a very frustrated and worried looking Mini being held back by Lui and Nogla while Brock was trying to calm him down verbally. With some effort I managed to get a better hold on Delirious and got him over my shoulder in the same lift I'd used on Mini that first night. I wrapped one arm around his legs to try and stop him kicking me and using my free hand to keep hold of his belt, to stop him trying to throw himself off my shoulder in an effort to get free. Delirious was definitely a handful and I didn't envy Evan having to deal with him in this mood.

"I told you to get him back to the hotel" I yelled at the guys as I adjusted how I was holding the still furiously struggling and swearing Delirious. Cartoonz appeared at my shoulder with his hands held up as if he was surrendering as he was escorted out by the bouncers.

"He won't leave without you guys" Lui complained while scowling at Mini

"Mini move!" I saw him hesitate as the same unreadable look crossed his face, Lui pushed him in the direction of the hotel Keeping his hand on Mini's back as they walked. I felt the now familiar possessive jealousy rolling around in my stomach as I watched Lui's hand move to different parts of Mini's back to keep him moving because he kept turning to look over his shoulder at where we were.

"Evan!" Nogla's sudden shout brought me back to what was happening around me.

"What the hell is going on?" Evan was walking towards us from a nearby office building with the look of someone who was confused and annoyed with what he was seeing. Delirious froze the second he heard the familiar voice and I'm sure I heard him swear under his breath, maybe he had heard something in Evan's voice that the rest of us hadn't picked up on.

"Guess" Lui grumbled as Evan took in the scene in front of him. Mini surrounded by three of his friends and his boyfriend over the shoulder of a fourth as the fifth friend walked behind as backup.

"Let's get these two idiots back to the hotel then you can fill me in on the details" Evan groaned as he indicated towards Mini and Delirious. A couple of minutes later Mini and the others had moved far enough ahead that if we spoke quietly they would barely be able to that we were talking.

"You want to take over" I mumbled as Evan fell into step with me

"Not yet" he grumbled back at me "is he hurt?"

"I am here you know" Delirious growled, obviously annoyed he was being ignored

"He's fine, he's just pissed that he only got one shot in on the guy before I got hold of him"

"And you're carrying him because?" I noticed a slight stiffness to Evan's voice and couldn't help but smile.

"Because he's a fuckboi...you're not jealous are you Ev'?" I asked quietly shifting Delirious' weight a bit to make it more comfortable.

"Fuck you Luke!" Delirious suddenly yelled at the top of his lungs for apparently no reason, but Cartoonz started laughing behind us.

Evan looked back with a mildly bemused expression before turning back in the direction we were walking, he waited until everyone had turned back around before answering my question "about as much as you are watching Lui touch Mini's back"

My gaze instantly locked onto Lui's hand while he was still pushing Mini down the street "well you might want to wait till we get back to the hotel to break my fingers....this little fucker weighs a ton" I grumble shifting Delirious' weight again.

"Put me the fuck down then asshole" he grumbled as he started fidgeting, making it harder for me to keep hold of him.

Evan dropped back a few paces until Delirious could see him "What was that?" I could hear the challenge in Evan's voice and smirked at the unintelligible mumbling from Delirious as he fell silent and stopped moving. I knew Evan was saying something to him but I couldn't hear a word, whatever it was Delirious didn't move or say a word for the rest of the trip home.

The rest of the walk back was almost entirely in silence. Arriving back at the hotel we drew some rather strange looks as we headed straight for the elevator, Lui, Nogla and Brock all headed down to the hotel bar leaving the four of us and Cartoonz to head up to Evan's room. Once we got there and the door was securely closed I unceremoniously dumped Delirious onto one of the couches and moved away from him stretching my back. It felt like Delirious weighed twice as much as Mini did, Mini was taller but Delirious was broader in the shoulder and heavier built. If I was to try and classify the difference in build I'd of said Delirious was a bodybuilder type, broad chest and shoulders and a slender waist and hips. He didn't have excessive muscles of a bodybuilder, from what I had felt of his legs and stomach as I had man handled him out of the club he was definitely solid. Where as Mini was more of an athletic build with a longer body, lean limbs, perfectly proportioned and a tight little peach shaped ass you wanted to just sink your teeth in too.

I cleared my throat, trying to shake the image out of my head as I sat on the arm of the other couch, I figured I could get in the way of Delirious if he was going to make a run for it. I still had the feeling that if we didn't keep an eye on him he'd head back down to the club and try to find the guy again, which let's face it would be bad for both, the guy would end up in the hospital and Delirious would either go to jail or have to face a pissed off Evan. As that thought bounced into my head I got a sudden panicked feeling as I quickly looked around for Mini. He was stood behind me leaning against the wall with his attention completely on is feet, the relief that surged through me actually made me feel light headed, I scrubbed my hands over my face to try and regain some composure.

"Jesus Mini...will you come sit the fuck down!" I could hear the relief creeping into my voice as I rested against the arm of the couch again.

"Why?" Mini grumbled his gaze locking to mine, the same look in his eye that had been driving me nuts trying to figure out.

"Min Please!...just come sit down"

He seemed to consider it for a few moments before sighing dramatically and dropped heavily in to the couch next to me.

"The hell delirious what were you thinking?" Evan almost yelled catching our attention, Delirious was now on his feet, pacing back and forth between the two couches.

"It's called protecting my friends Vanoss" Delirious barked as he waved his arms around "and if you get out of my damn way I'll go finish the job so no one has to watch over their shoulder anymore"

"You're not going anywhere" Evan folded his arms apparently unfazed by the mood Delirious was in

"You going to stop me bitch?" Delirious was squaring up to Evan and I saw Cartoonz step to one side. I could feel the tension in the room rising but what surprised me the most was that the first thought in my head was not how to help Evan or how to tackle Delirious if he got past them, No, my first thought was how fast I could make sure Mini was safe.

"Delirious...you're being a fucker, now if you force us to make you stay here... I'm going to promise you something" Cartoonz like he was talking to a disobedient child rather than a fully grown guy that could knock out most guys with one punch. "If Evan doesn't put you over his knee and spank your ass raw...I will"

"That will make three of us...Even if you got past us Delirious...you know there is one person in our little group here you won't out run" I smirked at him as his eyes locked onto Evan. We all knew that Evan was fast on his feet and could out run all of us.

I could see Mini fidgeting out of the corner of my eye and figured he had focused in on one word in that entire conversation. I really should explore his reaction when I swat his ass, turning to look at him I realise he looked annoyed. Tired but definitely annoyed.

It took us another hour to get Delirious to calm down enough that both Cartoonz and I felt we could leave him alone with Evan and not see black eyes in the morning. So Cartoonz, Mini and I left and headed back to our rooms. Mini and I walked in silence, there was definitely something up with Mini he wasn't just quiet he was really quiet, the kind of quiet people go when they are pissed off. I wasn't expecting what happened when we got into our room, and I doubt I'd forget it for the rest of my life.
