Do you think Lui was always this coldhearted, attitude-ridden blader? No, he wasn't actually. Before everything that happened, he was actually nice to others.

Shocking right? Well, it's true. Before he moved, everything was fine in his life. After he moved, that's when things around him crumbled. His mom died in a car accident three months after they moved, leaving him heartbroken. That was when his attitude toward others changed. His dad turned to drinking after his mom died, occasionally abusing the poor flame-haired male.

When Lui's dad found out he was gay and in a relationship, it made everything worse. His dad was homophobic, which is why Lui never wanted him to find out his relationship with a balance blader by the name of Gabe Brunai, who just so happens to be the captain of his new school's Beyblade team. Gabe felt bad for his small boyfriend. He doesn't deserve to be abused, he would say. His parents agreed with him, and the first time they met Lui, they confronted him about his problem.

Boy, it could've went a hundred times better. Lui was furious that Gabe told his parents about his personal life, not talking to him for a few days after the encounter. Of the days he didn't talk to him, he still came to school. He still came to watch Gabe train. Except, each day, he came to school bearing marks. Marks from his father. The fourth day, he didn't come to school at all, concerning Gabe. The violet-eyed male always came to school no matter what, and Gabe had a bad feeling.

After school, he walked to Lui's house, praying everything was alright with his small boyfriend. The house came into view and a wave of anxiety struck the maroon-haired male hard in the chest. Walking up the front steps, he knocked on the door, it creaking open slightly from the pressure.
        "Hello?" He called, pushing the door open and walking in. The place reeked of alcohol and pot, making Gabe gag slightly. "Lui?" He called again, stepping over numerous beer and liquor bottles. He walked through the lower level, searching the rooms for the smaller blader, but not having any luck. He came across a flight of stairs and bounded up them, each stair crying out from his weight.
         "Lui, where are you?" He tried again, still not receiving an answer. He opened the first door he came across, it being the bathroom. It was a disaster at that, and there was blood on the sink.

Gabe feared the worst, checking another room and finding his boyfriend, beaten and bloody on the floor. His eyes were open and he honestly looked dead, if it wasn't for the faint rising and falling of his chest. Gabe dropped down beside him, gathering him up in his arms and looking him over. A forming black eye, a plethora of bruises, a few cuts and scratches, a bloody nose, and a busted lip, but relatively okay. Lui clung to him desperately, too tired and in too much pain to give a damn if he looked weak.

The taller male held him close, picking him up and walking back down the stairs, out the front door of the hell Lui called home. He carried him to his house, the baby blue flame-haired male clutching him tightly as he fell asleep, Gabe smiling softly down at him.

~~~

This was the last straw, according to Gabe's parents when he walked through the door with a battered Lui in his arms. His dad was pissed off and his mom was horrified when they seen the condition he was in.
         "I'm calling the cops!" His mother cried, tears brimming her eyes as she picked up the phone.
         "Clean him up a bit Gabe. Take care of his wounds." His father stated calmly, even though rage was burning deep in his chest.

Gabe bounded up the stairs to his room, carefully setting his sleeping boyfriend on his bed and walking to grab necessary materials to treat his wounds. The brown-eyed male gently cleaned away the blood, cleaning the cuts and scratches carefully. When he finished, he placed a soft kiss on his forehead, making sure to put everything away.

Walking back down the stairs, he heard the soft crying of his mother, making his heart ache more than it already is.
          "H-he seems like such a nice boy..." He heard her cry, that pain digging deeper into his chest. "W-why must his father abuse him like he does?"
          "Gabe did say Lui's mother died in a car accident a few months ago." His father remembered. "He must be drowning his sorrows in alcohol and taking that sadness and anger out on the closest thing to him: his own son."
          "I-it's not fair! No child should be abused!"
          "You're right. Which is why it was a good thing you called the cops. They'll take care of this."

Gabe heard his mom sniffle slightly, the tall male walking back upstairs to stay with Lui until he wakes up or the cops come. Whatever comes first.

~~~

A couple months later, everything relatively turned back to normal. Lui's father is currently sitting in jail, serving charges of child abuse and domestic violence. After everything that happened, Lui is now living with Gabe, and he was honestly the happiest he's been since he moved. His parents treated him like they treat Gabe: with love and respect.

          "Is this what it's like to be loved by adults?" The small flame-haired male asked his taller partner a couple days after he started living with them. They were cuddled up on the couch with each other, Gabe stroking the soft baby blue hair of his boyfriend.
         "Yeah, it is." The maroon-haired male said, in shock at such a question. "How long has it been since you felt love from an adult?"
         "Honestly... I've lost track. It's been a while, to say the least."
         "That's awful, you know that? It still makes me sick to think that you were ever abused."
           "Yeah... I'm just glad he's out of my life. It was nice of your parents to let me stay with you guys."
           "My parents love you. Just about as much as I do. They were not about to let stay anywhere else."
           "They care that much about me?"
           "They do. And so do I." Gabe held him close and pressed a soft kiss to Lui's forehead. "I love you and nothing will ever change that."

Lui smiled slightly. A real, genuine smile, which is incredibly rare. He rested his head on Gabe's chest, closing his eyes and enjoying the warmth.
          "I love you too, and nothing will change that.

~~~

Gabe really stayed true to his word, even after their fights. Every couple fights or argues in a relationship. It's normal. Fighting with Lui is like trying to go through a brick wall head first. Impossible. He's so stubborn that he won't ever take no for an answer. After every fight though, it ends with Lui slamming the front door after walking out of it, off to blow off some steam through training. Gabe, being as considerate as he is, respects Lui's space and leaves him be.

Lui always came back anyway.

One night in particular, he came back around nearly midnight, concerning his tall lover.
           "Where have you been?" He had asked, hugging him tightly. "I was worried something had happened to you." And something did, but Lui wasn't going to tell him. No, it's not that big of a deal anyway, he thought, even though it really was.

Two months after, Lui had gotten really sick, practically throwing up even at the thought of eating or drinking. His attitude had also gotten worse, developing a very short temper as well as a few other emotions.

The violet-eyed male was curled up on the couch, staring at practically nothing as his arm rested across his stomach. It had gotten a little bigger over the past two month, but not enough for Gabe or his parents to notice. He feared the worse when he had seen that it grew.

A few days ago, when he was on his way to practice, he went to the doctor. His emotions were all over the place and the throwing up hadn't really let up, so he wanted to see what a doctor could tell him.

The news was shocking, so shocking that it made him break down into tears. Scrambled emotions or not, it still takes a lot to make Lui cry. And this was certainly one of those things. How was he going to tell Gabe? He can't hide this secret forever. Might as well come clean.

~~~

           "I'm pregnant..." He said quietly to Gabe, his face burying into the plush white scarf around his neck, Gabe's jaw dropped, and it had every right to. Here's the thing: he and Lui never had sex.
          "Have you been cheating on me?" He asked blankly, making violet eyes look at him in horror.
          "No! You know I would never do that to you!"
          "Then how are you pregnant? We haven't even had sex yet! Nevertheless, you're a guy! Guys can't get pregnant!"
           "I don't know how I could get pregnant, I just know I am! But I'm not cheating on you!"
"Then how did you get pregnant?! Answer that for me!"

Lui closed his eyes and grit his teeth, clenching his hands into fists.
            "I-I was raped!" He yelled, ignoring the crack in his voice. Gabe blinked, his anger dying down as he just stared at him.
           "What?" Was all he could bring himself to say, in complete shock.
           "That night, when I came home really late, I was raped. Just walking down the sidewalk to come home when someone grabbed me and pulled me into an alley..." Tears were brimming his eyes, a single tear rolling down his cheek. He ran and clung to his lover, swallowing the sob in his throat as his face buried into his stomach.

Gabe held him just as tight back, one arm carefully around his waist and the other pushing back flaming baby blue hair.
           "I-I'm sorry..." Lui cried into his stomach, his hands gripping the fabric of the vest Gabe wore. His legs buckled and he crumbled to the floor, the taller male kneeling down with him, holding him better now.
            "It's not your fault so don't apologize... I'm not mad. I'm just upset that you have to go through something like this." Gabe pulled back slightly and pressed a soft kiss to Lui's lips, pulling away after a few seconds. "I love you and nothing will ever change that..."

Violet stared tearfully into brown, the smallest of smiles gracing the small male's lips.
           "I-I love you too... A-and I always will..." He said softly, his tall lover smiling warmly at him, only for it to drop slightly.
          "Lui, what are we going to do about the baby?" The maroon-haired male asked, keeping his hands on his waist.
          "I want to keep the baby... It shouldn't have to pay for some guy's bad decision..."

Gabe was a little shocked at the answer, but smiled in support.
            "Then I'm with you all the way. This baby will have two loving parents, no matter what." He said, holding him closer. Lui pressed a kiss to his lips, hugging him tightly.
            "Thank you for always being there for me Gabe... Even when things are tough..."
            "I wouldn't have it any other way."

~~~

He's now currently four months into the pregnancy. Again, his stomach has grown over the last two month, and if he was wearing a tight enough shirt, you could tell he was pregnant. Gabe's parents found out about the pregnancy two weeks after Gabe, it slipping out when they all were eating dinner. His parents were actually really excited about the news, happy that they would be having a blood-related grandchild.

They just don't know that the baby isn't Gabe's. And they never will.

The couple just couldn't bring themselves to tell them the truth, to watch the happiness drain from their faces and be replaced by shock and sadness. So the less they know, the better.

With the baby on the way, Lui can't blade, so Luinor sits in his pocket most of the time. Since he's not able to blade, he comes and watches Gabe and his team practice, normally confusing the other three considering he's never showed to practice before. Nevertheless, Gabe always smiles at him when he walks through the door, saying he was always welcome.

Though he rarely smiles, Lui always smiled slightly back at him, confusing the others even more.

The baby blue-haired male felt lucky, lucky that he has someone as loving and as caring as Gabe.

After all, they are about to raise a child together, rape or not, and they can't be any happier.

Well look! I do know how to update! XD

Again, I'm so sorry about the slow updates, so take Gabe X Lui as a sorry gift!

Have I killed those feelings yet? Because I felt I did a better job with this! The idea was actually a role play that I was doing with a follower, so thank you for the idea!

See ya in the next one!
