The bell had run, thankfully putting an end to another dull class. Nathan hardly cared for World History. If he had his own choice, he'd have skipped his classes at the end of the day and gone home. However, he had one small thing that did not allow him to. That one thing happened to be at the back of the class struggling to push his history book into a overstuffed backpack. Nathan slung his messenger bag over his shoulder, which was very well nearly empty, and walked along the enpty row of desks to where his little brother sat in his wheelchair. Nathan gave a silent glance to the winged rabbit sewn into the face of the backpack his brother had, then reached down to pull the book away from him.
"Really Nico." He spoke in a hushed scolding tone. "Do you really need to bring this home? Or any of those other books? What..what is this?" He said as he reached into Nico's backpack. His little brothers face colored as he pulled out a manga with Sailor Moon standing in her typical pose on the front. "A young man should not be reading...this." He said while waving the book in the air in front of Nico's small pointed nose.
Nicholas reached up to try and take back both of his books. "I have not finished reading the history book yet." He explained to Nathan. Regaining possession of the history book was easier then the manga however. Nathan stood up and held the paperback out of Nico's reach. "Please Nathan. Just give me back my book?" He pleaded with his brother.

Apparently Mark was none too impressed. She snatched the book from Nathan's hands and dropped it down onto Nico's lap. She smiled at Nico, choosing to ignore the brother as she put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, can I take a peek at your notes from last class? I totally fell asleep and like, none of my friends take good notes," she giggled. Nico was sort of the brains of the class, asking him for notes was most definitely better than her own friends who were more occupied with their clothing and make up. Usually their notes were only half done before they got bored and did something else.
She did grace Nathan with a glance for a moment however if only to give a saddened sigh, placing a hand on Nico's shoulder. "You poor thing...big brothers really do suck, huh?" Then again, her two brothers were far worse than Nico's only one. Plus of course that bother her brothers were a fair bit older. If nothing else though, the daily fights she would get into with them were totally good work outs.

"Hey now!" Nathan protested as Mark would snatch the book from his hand. He crossed his arms over his chest and attempted to give her a stern glare...but as she bent over a bit to speak with his little brother, the focus of his glare shifted elsewhere. Mark certainly had a forgiving frame. Forgiving as in Nathan could forgive her for interfering in his dealings with his little brother with the opportunity to admire the blessings of her females form.
Nico found his blush deepening some as Mark would come to his rescue. Taking his manga from his lap, Nico tucked it down the side of his wheelchair and smiled up at Mark. "Oh. Of course Mark." He quickly answered her request. As he avoided looking up at his brother, Nico began to peel his fingers through the tightly packed book bag. "I just need a moment to get them out. My bag is sort of stuffed."
Nathan casually circled around the pair, while pointedly ignoring the slight jab made at him by mark. He came around behind Nico's chair and took hold of the handles so he could begin to push his brother towards the exit. "Perhaps if you did not insist on bringing home all your schoolbooks every evening, or packing your bag with all that nonsense, then you would not have such a hard time getting things in and out." Nathan casually remarked.
Nico couldn't stop the smile that pulled at his lips as he tugged a red notebook from his bag. He held it up towards Mark as his brother pushed him along. "Nathan isn't so bad." He defended his brother a little with a backwards glance. "But you could be a little nicer."

"Pff, bet Jules is better," she laughed in a teasing tone, keeping up to their pace and still refusing to look at Nathan. She might spare him a glance if perhaps he was cuter, or nicer....or Eolande. Ahhh, she really was just perfect....of course she would never know that Mark kept a photo of her in her wallet...
She took the notebook from him and began flipping through the pages as they walked, finding the right pages of notes. "Oooh, coolio. Mind if I photocopy it then? If you wanna you can come with me and Jules, get this photocopied, join us for ice cream and we can drop you off at home." She could just borrow it and copy it by hand or photocopy it at home as opposed to getting it done in town...but frankly she had a feeling Nico didn't get out enough....or away from his brother enough. If he had a bad enough case of Stockholm Syndrome to think his brother was an a-okay kinda guy....he needed to get out more.
"Unless of course your brother is afraid to leave your side," she said after a moment, giving a little giggle. Somehow it seemed an amusing thought if it weren't Nico clinging to his brother's side but rather the other way around. It wouldn't be that surprising though...Nathan seemed to be like, uber over controlling, it wasn't unlikely that he even needed to control his little brother regardless how creepy that thought was.

Nathan kept his features stoic, which was a pretty easy feat since he seemed to have that expression naturally. He glanced over at Mark as she would tease about her own brother and for just a few seconds what may have been color rose into his pale cheeks.
Nico grinned a bit more widely as he was pushed along. Nathan seemed to be keeping the pace even so his chair rolled alongside Mark, rather then attempting to push him past her. Of course, he had no idea that in his current position, it was easier for Nathan to watch Mark's behind while she walked. He merely assumed his brother was being polite and allowing him to chat with the girl.
"I do not mind if you photocopy them." He agreed easily to mark's request. Though afterwords his eyes brightened and he perked up in his chair a bit. "I would really like some ice cream." Nico turned about in his chair to look back at Nathan. "May I? Please?"
Nathan arched a brow as the plans were being made with, and he assumed this was purposeful on Marks part, to not include him. "I see no reason why we can not make a short stop at the ice cream parlor." He agreed, with a faint stressing of the word We. Nathan made a point of trying to catch Mark's eye as he spoke. "My brother has a appointment that he must not be late for, so I shall come along as well."

"Coolio, we can just drop you straight off to your appointment then," she said happily, not seeming at all bothered that Nathan would be joining them. "Ohmigawd, there's like, this super yummy place in town with like, so many flavors," she said happily. Of course since her brother was driving the truck it was easy enough to have him lift the chair into the back and strap it down...woo, lucky Mark though these things....okay, no she didn't think them through, that's giving her far too much credit.
She did however feel the need to bend over and whisper to Nico, "Does your brother ever show emotion?" And yes, she was aware of the amount of a** she was allowing him to ogle, but sometimes sacrifices needed to be made and the best was to keep a man from wanting to leap into a conversation was either to show some booty, some cleavage, or talk about shoes.
Julia was waiting at the truck, leaning on the hood as he watched his sister get closer.....along with the creep that was staring at her a** rather blatantly....this he really did not approve of. He didn't terribly like some guy checking out his baby sister...at work that was never a problem since Tabs and Jules scared off the men...and frankly most places they could keep men from her, apparently they'd forgotten about school...
He set a scowl on his face, his nose scrunching a little. Hn...he could easily kick the crap out of the brat, but maybe he was just one of those complete pussies that had no idea how to talk to women and thus would eventually become a stalker...Mark could certainly handle her own but there weren't many women with biceps like hers. Needless to say he would keep an eye on the little creep...but he did put the scowl away. For now at least.

Nathan would have added more to the conversation, but Mark chose that moment to bend over to whisper to his brother. His cheeks now truly showed a flush of red as he looked over the lovely rear view Mark posed. Really...there were so many pretty girls here at the school. Sometimes he wished he could lavish the proper attention upon them...though he did not believe certain ones would be as welcoming and appreciative of his attention.
Nico found himself smiling rather excitedly, despite the mention of an appointment. Odd, he wasn't aware he had one. He was not about to correct his brother in public however, so he merely grinned up at Mark. When she leaned in to whisper, he found himself blinking. "What? Of course he does. He's just...very serious." He nearly stumbled in his attempt to defend his brother without lying or embarrassing him. Nico glanced towards their destination, and his eyes widened a little bit at the sight of Julia standing near his truck. "Who's that?" He murmured.
Nathan glanced away from Mark's behind and towards the direction mark had been leading them. Instead of looking over the scowling male there, he started to eye the truck with some distaste. "Is that your vehicle? I do not think it is a proper means of transportation for my brother."

"That's my big brother, Joo--" she froze a moment, about to say the forbidden real name and instead she grinned and finished "Jules." She could almost feel the pressure of his scowl off her back when she refrained from calling him Julia. It was understandable that he disliked it....but he was a little excessive about that. She tossed her brother a look to see his unhappy expression and she pursed her lips. "Oh relax wont you? You'll scare him off. By the way, we're stopping off to get this photocopied and then ice cream."
Julia walked up to Nathan, standing easily taller than him and making no short work of looking down at him. "Got a problem? I thought you were too distracted staring elsewhere," he said in a rather cold tone. Oh yes. He'd noticed the creeper ogling his sweet little sister and did not like it. But he didn't seem to care about that too much. "Mark, you and..." he paused to look over at Nathan, "Skeezy can hop in the back," he paused again though to look at Nico. "Your brother has chicken arms. Would you rather Mark or I help you into the seat?" If he had a normal car it would be fine to let him amble in...but the seats were pretty high and there was a fine line between letting someone in a wheelchair fend for them self and helping where needed.
Mark giggled. "He is pretty skeezy," she laughed. She bent over again to whisper to Nico, "See? My brother is totally better." Of course, Tabs was pretty cool too, but Jules was pretty much her ride b***h. She had to work so he had to drive her....she could change in the bathroom at the ice cream shop. Maybe seeing her looking manly would make Nathan stop eying her.

Both of the Montibello boy's looked towards Julia. Nico brushed a wavy strand of his lavender hair back from his face as he looked up at Julia. He was like...the image of a romance novel. Tall and strong looking. With such stunning hair and eyes. He looked very much like a protective knight even.
Nathan on the other hand found little to admire with Julia. The man towering over him caused his back to stiffen...more. As if it were possible for Nathan to grow anymore rigid, Julia had discovered the means. Nathan tilted his head up to peer at Julia as he would call him on the admiration of his sisters anatomy. "Tch." He merely replied in answer. For the moment Nathan intended to remain silent. Yet when Julia would grant him such a ungracious nickname, his cheeks colored with indignation.
"My name is Nathan Montibello." He corrected Julia, then shot a frown towards Mark. "And I am no more 'skeezy' then half the male population thank you very much. At least I have the proper respect to merely look and not touch." He added, though the last was in a softer tone. Soft or not though, it caused Nico to turn and look at his brother with a perplexed expression.
"Touch what?" He asked, then paused. Julia's offer to lift him from his chair flooded his face with heat. "I would not mind if you--"
"I shall tend to my brother." Nathan snapped before Nico could complete his acceptance of Julia's offer. "You are my brother and my responsibility, therefore I will see to aiding you." Nathan shot a glance towards Julia as he moved to take Nico's bookbag and set it on the ground. "You look like your used to hard labor. Why don't you take care of the chair and the book bag...Mark would you be kind enough to hold the door open?"

Mark and Julia shot each other a glance, both trying to keep their lips from twitching into a smirk. Nathan was amusing when he was overly sensitive. "I thought you didn't need help to look after your brother?" she teased, regardless holding the door open for him...almost afraid those weak little chicken arms would drop Nico...but Julia would catch him. "Anyway, yea. Nico and Nat are in a couple of my classes," she paused to smirk at Nathan, "luckily not gym." She couldn't help but giggle at that, knowing her brother wouldn't approve of the creeper eyeballing her lovelies.
She paused after a thought. "They're brothers and Nico is like, what, twelve? Thirteen? Fourteen? He's like, super smart." Apparently having someone so young so much smarter than her didn't bother her terribly.
Julia nodded silently. He looked at the chair and back to Nathan. "You sure it's okay for me to get this? I wouldn't want to take over your position as brother assistant. I mean, like if you need a hand but you seem possessive of your role. Wouldn't want t step on any toes." He couldn't help but smirk a little. "And don't worry, if you're that worried about your chicken arms you can try lifting weights or joining me in the gym," he said, laughing quietly.
Regardless of his words though he did pick up the chair with seeming ease. But hey, he worked in construction and boxed...he was pretty fit. Only difference between him and Mark was he was a fair bit more clever than his sister.
Julia hopped into the back with the chair and strapped it down with straps usually for holding in wood and pipes. "Anyway, don't worry about this truck, your brother will be fine in it and so will his chair. I transport all my work equipment in the back so it's set up for holding loads and keeping them in place." He hopped down and passed by Nathan to give him a pat on the shoulder. A big brother looking after his younger sibling did score him some points. Now if he could just stop eyeballing Mark...

"Thirteen." Nico happily supplied as he hooked his arm around Nathan's neck.
Nathan carefully lifted Nico from his chair and turned towards the truck. He flashed Mark a faint smile as she held the door open. "Well I wished to give you the option to lend a hand. You seem like a hands on sort of girl after all." He replied before leaning in to gently place Nico into the front seat. Despite his 'chicken arms' Nathan did not struggle to handle his brother. Under the sleeves of his pants, Nico's leg's were terribly skinny. He weighed a very small amount in compare to other boy's his age.
"And please, I prefer to be called Nathan. Not Nat." He spoke to Mark as he strapped his brother in.
"Nathan. I can...My hands are fine..I can buckle..." Nico tried to protest, then heaved a small sigh and sat back as his brother ignored him and secured the belt firmly over his chest and waist.
Nathan glanced back at Julia as he would tend to the chair. "The chair is nothing, I have what is important here." He replied to the slightly gentle jab. "I would rather not waste my time lifting weights however. Thank you for the invitation. I pursue other physical activities."
Nico glanced out the door to look at Julia. He tried to watch him as he put his bag and chair in the back. "Nathan takes swimming and fencing classes...but you know..a little weight lifting wouldn't be a bad thing to try Nathan... I could come and watch you and Jules..." He murmured under his breath.
Nathan fussed just a little longer on adjusting the strap over Nico's chest, but receiving the pat on his shoulder by Jules caused him to blink and pause. "Hmm..yes..well..I think..this will do for now..." He replied, then turned to gesture towards the door. "Would you like to sit on the passenger side Mark? There will be more legroom I think behind Nico."

Mark pursed her lips a little. Hm...she liked Nat better....maybe if they got to be better friends he'd let her call him Nat. But like Julia she could stick with the nicname till he let up. She couldn't help but giggle a little at Nico. "It's a brother's job to worry." She turned back to Nathan and grinned. "I go to the gym all the time with Jules, you can box with me if you want." Of course, she wouldn't add that she was just as strong as Jules. She did boxing with Jules, kickboxing on her own (For her butt of course), and football with Tabs....a busy girl....probably why she didn't do a lot of homework. She scraped by in every class.
She hopped into the seat offered to her, not terribly caring which side she was on. She didn't have big knobby man-knees so she didn't need that much room, but whatevsies. Mark shoved her bag under her seat and looked to Julia. "You grabbed my work clothes, yea?" she asked, clearly not minding letting her brother spoil her.
He sighed and tossed the stained and torn overalls and bandanna at her before plopping himself down behind the wheel.
"Okay, I'll drop you off for ice cream, while you get that I'll photocopy the paper..." he paused to look at Mark. "You can of course get me some ice cream while I do that." He added, smirking at her expression of 'Crap'. Clearly their siblinghood was a give and take. He felt no guilt. He was driving her and her little friends around and picking her up for work.
After he started the car Mark leaned over to Nathan though. "You'll get on his good side if you stop checking out my butt," she whispered.

"Tempting." Nathan remarked as he crossed over to the other side and slid in behind Julia. Reaching down to secure his own belt buckle, he parted a faint smile at Marks 'suggestion' and leaned over to return. "Then I surely should not come and box with you. If he is this hostile with a mere admiration of your hide quarters I would be wary of his reaction to my admiration of anything else of yours that is soft and curved, hmmm?" He gently teased before sitting up in his seat.
"The situation sounds convenient enough." Nathan said in reply to Julia's suggestion.
Nico glanced over at Julia, and found himself smiling rather brightly at the other man. "I'd like to come and watch you work out. Maybe there would be something I could do too?"

Julia smiled at Nico. "Sure, there's nothing wrong with your arms right? Man, you should see some of the hockey players in wheel chairs. At the gym I go to I think there's a basket ball court and of course weights." He paused to look at Nathan. "You'd be welcome to come and keep an eye on him, it's worrying when your little brother or sister goes and does something they may hurt them self with, but you can go and just read or do homework or something."
He may not like the way Nathan looked at Mark, but he could appreciate a brother being worried about his younger sibling.
"Just remember both my brother AND I could kick your scrawny chicken a**," Mark said with a giggle. So could Tabs....but...well Tabs was big and strong, he could kick anyone's a**...including both Mark and Julia.
She looked thoughtful though. Maybe if she could get Nathan to come Eolande would join too if she knew there was a guy that ogled her. Certainly a hope. Eolande was totally fun to hang out with, she was just so damned shy...but that just made her much cuter. All things considered she partly just really wanted to see her in work out clothes. She shook herself out of it and turned back to Nico. "Yea, the basketball team is pretty cool, but they play pretty easy on anyone new to it," she laughed.

Nathan found himself smiling a bit more freely towards Mark as she would whisper back about kicking his behind. In order to keep his sense of masculinity intact, he chose not to contend with Mark over what he was and was not capable of. Instead he settled back on the chair and glanced through the front window as Julia drove.
Nico's eyes lit up at the clear invitation to join Julia and Mark at the gym. He wanted to see Julia doing his exercises. It would be interesting to watch him. He looked so strong! Nothing at all like himself or his brother. "I would love to come and-" Nico started to excitedly answer, but from the corner of his eye he saw a faint frown forming on his brothers face.
"I would prefer it if Nicohlas continued his book studies instead. He is too delicate to risk hurting in a gym or in such competitions." Nathan remarked as he folded his hands in his lap.
"Oh...come on Nathan?" Nico pleaded. "Mark says they would go easy on me. And I really would like to play for once?" Nico begged while trying to look over his shoulder at Nathan.
Nathan kept his features firm, though for a moment, as he looked at his brothers face, he wavered a bit. It was only a moment though before he shook his head. "No. I am sorry but a gym simply is not the place for my little brother. Perhaps we could come and watch but...no participation."
