The first month and a half of them living together went incredibly smooth. Lui grew accustomed to waking up and not having to worried about getting beaten. Gabe's parents were amazing and treated him like he was one of them, loving him and caring for him. Even if a month and a half have passed though, Gabe was still rather protective of his recovering lover, trying to keep him from overworking himself.

Especially when it came to training.

Cast or no, Lui still found a way to train whether it was trying to blade with his right arm or bearing through the pain and continuing training with his broken hand. Day after day, he trained during his recovery, irritating his wounds and making them worse which started worrying Gabe to the point where he confronted him. The tall male is normally calm when it comes to talking to his lover, but this time, he sounded desperate just because that's how worried he was.
          "Lui, seriously, you need to focus on your recovery and save training for later. You're going to end up hurting yourself even worse." Gabe told him, his arms crossed as his love was getting dressed into his workout clothes. Lui ignored him as he pulled on his compression shirt and fixed his hair, being mindful of his cast as he looked in the mirror. "Lui, didn't you hear me?"
         "Yes, but I chose not to listen." The baby blue-haired male said to him, getting his sweatpants on. Gabe let out an exasperated sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, looking at him. He didn't really want to start an argument but if it came to it, so be it.
          "Look, I know it's hard accepting the fact your hand is broken but you need to take it easy."
          "I dont want to take it easy though. Taking it easy is for the weak." Lui said, crossing his arms in annoyance.
          "It's not being weak if you're still in recovery babe."
          "But it is to me! I cant handle not doing anything Gabe!"
          "I'm not tell you to not do anything, I'm telling you to take a break from training! Do you think I don't know about the first aid kit in your duffel bag? I know your wounds aren't healing properly!"
          "I don't care about my body at this point! I don't just don't care!"
          "Well I do!"

All couples fight right? Well, fighting with Lui is like trying to run through a brick wall. Hard.
          "I don't give a fuck if you care! I dont even know why you care!" Lui yelled, his hands curled into fists as a fire burned in his violet eyes.
          "It's because I fucking love you, okay?! Or are you too damn stubborn to realize?!" Gabe yelled back, pushing him back suddenly. Lui fell back into vanity as it shook from the force, a few recovering cuts and bruises igniting from the hit. The smaller looked up to his boyfriend with a generally surprised look and watery eyes. Gabe lost his harsh look  almost immediately and covered his mouth with a hand, the other reaching out to his love slowly. Lui immediately slapped his hand away and looked away as a tear rolled down his chest, snatching his duffel bag up and storming from the room.
          "Wait, Lui, I'm sorry!" Gabe said after finding his voice, walking after him. "Baby, I didn't mean to push y-" Lui whipped around too fast for the taller to comprehend, cutting his sentence short as a burning slap was dealt across his cheek.
          "Leave me the fuck alone!" He yelled, storming out of the house and slamming the door, tears falling from his raging violet as he started down the street.

Gabe stood in shock as he held his stinging cheek, looking away from the door when he heard a throat clear behind him. His mother stood in the doorway of the kitchen, her arms crossed over her chest.
          "What the hell did you do Gabe?"

A few hours later and Lui's rage now faded after having taken it out with training, the recovering male walked down the sidewalk of the now empty streets. It was on the short side midnight when he had decided to go back home, a small yawn slipping from his lips as he past the closed shops. All was quite save for his quiet steps against the concrete, a gentle wind ruffling through his flaming baby blue hair. Lui had done a bit of thinking while he was releasing his aggression and felt he had overreacted a little bit. He loves Gabe with all his heart and understood why he was worried about him, so he certainly was going to apologize to his lover and hope it fixes things.

That might take longer though because through the darkness, an arm reached out and roughly took a hold of the small Spin Emperor, a small cry leaving his lips as he was pulled into the depths. The other muscular hand forced itself over his mouth to silence his yells, the figure forcing him into the wall. The stranger's glazed-over green eyes bored into Lui's violet ones and he smiled, noticing the fear that filled them.

Oh how he loved seeing his prey be afraid of him.

Lui looked up at the stranger and struggled in his hold, doing his best to try and get this man to let him go which just made him chuckle.
          "Go ahead, struggle, I love the ones that fight me..." The stranger growled seductively, making a shiver run down Lui's spine. The short blader let out a muffled growl and managed to bite the man, making him his but slam him harder against the wall. Brick isn't soft... "You little bitch." He growled and pulled put a needle, stabbing him and filling him with some sort of drug that rendered him immobile, his legs quivering and buckling inward as the stranger started to get to work.

Violet eyes snapped open another few hours later, the cool air of the late night nipping at his skin. Lui hardly remembered what the hell happened, but the moment he realized his sweatpants were off and elsewhere, the memories hit him hard, making tears fill his eyes. His virginity, the pureness he was saving for his loving boyfriend, was ripped away from him. His first time was torn away by a drunk and horny stranger he's never seen before, a filthy bastard that would use anyone as his personal sex toy.

Lui forced himself to his knees but suddenly felt sick, throwing up harshly beside himself as the tears finally fell down his cheeks. Wiping his mouth, he sniffled and got his pants back on, his legs quivering with a force and his body incredibly sore as he stood, picking up his abandoned duffel bag as he stumbled his way down the sidewalk. Glancing at the time, it was after three in the morning, the small Spin Emperor sniffling to himself as he walked, rubbing his back to try and ease the pain that made it ache. By the time he made it back to his new home, it was already a quarter to four which made him wince.

Gabe surely wasn't going to be happy...

Lui shook his head and unlocked the front door, quietly opening the door and stepping inside before shutting it softly, twisting the deadbolt before he got his shoes off, stumbling silently up the stairs to his and Gabe's room. He sighed when he realized the light was on and took in a breath, walking into the room and bracing for a lecture. Yet it never came. Lui looked up and met Gabe's eyes, tears filling his eyes as he dropped his bag and walked to him, hugging him tightly. Gabe immediately hugged him back and held him in his arms, sitting on the bed and pulling him into his lap.
           "I'm so happy you came back... I was so worried about you. You weren't answering my calls or my texts, I thought something bad happened to you..." He said softly, slowly rubbing his lover's back. Lui buried his face deeper into his shoulder at the last of his sentence, letting out a soft sniffle.

Of course something bad had happened to him, but was he planning to tell him. Hell no. Well, at least not yet...

Lui let out a soft sob and starting apologizing to him, saying he was sorry he overreacted, how he hit him, and about how he came home so late. But Gabe told him he didn't have to apologize, saying it was his fault for upsetting him. The taller blader held him closely in his arms and carefully pulled back to look his lover in the eyes. He noticed the dull, heartbroken look within the violet irises but smiled softly anyway, setting a gentle hand on his cheek.
            "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Gabe asked him softly, watching as a nice red blush burned across Lui's cheeks.
            "I don't think so..." Lui replied quietly, looking away. Gabe chuckled softly and carefully made him look at him again, his smile still stuck to his lips.
            "Well, you are..." He said, leaning in and pressing their lips together softly.

Lui let his bad thoughts melt away at Gabe's kiss and wrapped his arms around his neck, deciding he would forget about the strange man for the time being.

What's the worst that could happen anyway?
