Flashback: If you love them... (Age 16)
"So what is it?" Minnie asked, standing upside-down on her hands in her Danskins, but looking at Julian rather seriously nevertheless. "Are you hungry? 'Cause I'm feeling fine, you can... Julian what is it?"

	"I'm not sure." Julian says, sitting in the study with his brow creased into a frown. His frown was getting better and better every day. "Something just isn't right, Minnie. I feel like something bad is going to happen soon, but I don't know when or how." he says. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Minnie's legs bent down until her toes could touch the floor, then she got up. "Is the feeling in a particular direction? You should trust your instincts, Julian." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's here, Minnie. In this house. Something bad is going to happen here and I don't know why." Julian says, staring off into space. He reaches out to take Minnie's hand, because he needs someone, something solid to hold onto at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Minnie clutches his hand and sits close. "Maybe you and Mr. H should talk about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dad isn't himself these days, Minnie. Do you remember last week? He was in the middle of a sentence and he suddenly forgot what he was saying. How often have you known him to do that?" Julian asks.

"It's been happening more and more lately. The other day, I said hello to him at breakfast and I swear, he looked at me like he had no clue who I was. He recovered after a minute, but...he's never done that." Julian says quietly.

Rarely is Julian one to show fear, but the expression on his face is one of fear and anguish, because he's pretty sure he knows what this means and he knows Anton has never been a man to accept less than his absolute best from himself or anyone else.

"I'm scared, Minnie."

	"He doesn't," Minnie says quietly. Minnie climbs into his lap if he'll let her, and puts her arms around him without another word. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He does so, and Julian holds Minnie close, burying his face against her neck. She always smelled so sweet that it was a struggle for Julian to remember decency with her. He knew that she would let him have her if he asked it, but he wanted it to be Minnie's choice, if she ever chose to do so.

Unlike his mother, he didn't believe that everyone was put on Earth to serve him.

"Are you all right, Minnie? I shouldn't be boring you with things like this. Do you need anything? Anything at all?" he asks.

	He hugged her tighter. Sometimes, he was sure that all he needed to get by in life was Minnie...and food. And even the second one was questionable. "I want to take you out this evening. We need to something fun to do. What will it be?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your options are the following: Coney Island, where you will try the fair food, a milonga on Broadway, where you will dance with me, or...shopping. Choose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-06-30 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"Minnie...do you have any idea what's in Coney Island food, because I do not. Oh, I've /heard/ things, and none of those things reassure me in any way." Julian says haughtily. "I will take you shopping to find what you will wear when I take you dancing. How does that sound?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope! It's one of life's little mysteries," she said cheerily. "Oh, that sounds perfect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-06-30 02:58 am UTC (link)
	"You can have /that/ mystery, Minnie. I like to know what I'm eating." he grins. "Now, go and get ready, and we'll go shopping." he tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-06-30 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Minnie nods happily and goes to throw on some ordinary clothes to shop in. Then they head out, and on the way there, Minnie reaches up to touch Julian's face. "You sure you're not hungry? Just a quick snack?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-06-30 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I am hungry, but I can wait." he says, leaning into her touch. "I'm working on my control, Minnie. I can't just feed any time I feel peckish. I have to know when to do so and when to wait, in case no opportunities present themselves. I'm also trying to learn how to balance the usage of my powers so as not to be hungry as often." he says.

"Well, of course not, Minnie. I don't want to kill you in a fit of hunger. Still, I have to be sure that I don't do to other people what I did to Mr. Buckles...or the gardener...or the pool boy." Julian says, recounting a few of his less-successful feedings.

Minnie had had to calm him down or calm them down, or help him hide a body, in one extreme case.

"I can't just feed on you forever." he says.

	She sighed. "You're right." But she hated seeing him with his colors fading, hated any indication that there was a discomfort she could fix. And soon, they're at the store. "Hmm. I don't know. Red and black is traditional for these things, but what do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-07-01 01:59 am UTC (link)
	"I like black, for certain. What about black and blue?" he asks casually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourtruecolors 2011-07-01 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"That can work. Ooh. Here." She finds an off-one-shoulder dress. Tight black bodice with blue trim, an uneven blue-and-black layered skirt, and tight blue bands for the wrists. She smiles at Julian. "Let's go see if it fits!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-07-01 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Lead the way, Minnie." Julian says, following her to the dressing room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And she'll make her way into the dressing room with him, and then face the mirror with a smile as she slowly wriggles out of her jeans and pulls off her T-shirt, striking just the slightest pose in her underpants and a strapless mamillare before slinking her way into the dress and putting on the little braces around her wrists. "I love these things." She wiggles her hips to make the skirt flounce down and turns. "What do you think?"

	"Perfect. Absolutely perfect." Julian smiles. "Oh, and the dress is nice, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She giggles and smiles at him. "Now, this could really work if I can find the right shoes to go with it. I need at least 4-inch heels if you're not going to look like you're dancing with some kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-07-03 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	"This is true. Did you see heels you liked out there? I could go find some for you, if you want." Julian offers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
