Song:
- 'Life Ain't Always Beautiful' by Gary Allen

-Ty's POV-

The rain splattered down from the sky, cold and unrelenting, as I trudged down the street.

I sighed, and mentally cursed the security guard that chased me from the warmth of the supermarket entrance. All I wanted was a good nights sleep in a warm doorway, but fate was against me once again.

I fought back tears as I thought back to the last time I had a warm place to sleep, with my family, when they loved me and cared for me.

I should have never come out, I wouldn't have to live like this if I just kept quiet about the whole thing.

My depleting mood dropped further, when I reached the area I slept in. This part of town was full of alleys and dark corners, so as I walked by I pulled my thin hoodie further around myself.

Being my lucky day, the zip had decided to break, even after the two years I had worn it, so I was even more exposed to the cold.

Crossing my arms around myself, I walked a little quicker, trying to ignore the creepy vibe that surrounded the place. I could never get used to it, even after all this time.

Just as I was about to turn the corner to my spot, hands grabbed me from the side.

I let out a muffled scream as a large calloused hand clamped over my mouth, silencing me.

I felt the guy lean in to my ear from behind, his body reeking of sweat and beer. He purred in my ear, sending shivers up my spine.

"Hmm, yes, I think you'll do perfectly my little slut." he hissed, pulling me further into the alley.

Panic flashed through my eyes as I began to struggle, kicking out and flailing but it was no use.

The guy had me pinned to the wall in seconds, attacking my neck with his teeth, sucking and kissing it ferociously.

I whimpered, the realisation that I was going to get my virginity stolen by this monster tonight dawning on me.

Fresh tears stung my eyes as this hit me, and I could feel his lips go further, his hands creeping down to the waistline of my jeans.

This is it, I thought, tonight I die...

"Hey!"

I turned my head around fast, to see a tall dark figure at the entrance of the alley way. The guy pinning me to the wall let out a low snarl, tightening his grip on me.

"Leave us alone boy, we're just having fun." he laughed darkly, smirking at the stranger.

My eyes widened, and I tried to scream out, but the sound was cut off by the creeps hand over my mouth.

I don't want to die, I don't want to get hurt, I want to live and oh god, did I want to live.

The guy paused, before running up, and punching the creep right in the face, and I heard a sickening crunch, probably his nose - or what was left of it.

I suddenly fell to the floor as the guy was knocked unconscious, making me tumble over, as the shock of what was happening made my legs turn to jelly.

The stranger rolled the unconscious guy over until he was against the opposite wall facing the ground.

I just lay there, to in shock to register much. I felt a hand on my shoulder and flinched, cowering down, trembling like a leaf.

Please don't hurt me, was all I could think. Oh god, please don't let him have friends that could hurt me. I would rather die than that.

Don't hurt me, don't hurt me...

I whimpered, curling up, head in between my knees, arms wrapped around my legs in the corner of the alley.

I sensed someone crouch down in front of me, and I scooted further into the wall, so they wouldn't be able to attack me from behind.

Please just leave me alone, I don't want to get hurt.

"Hey buddy, are you ok?" a soft, gentle voice whispered, surprisingly close, which made me jump with fright.

I let out a small gasp, thinking about why to say. No, I was not alright. Some guy just tried to rape me in an alley.

I peeked up from my legs, looking through my lashes at the stranger. I blinked a few times as my eyes met his.

He was gorgeous.

He had long, brown curly hair that sat on his hair in an organised chaos, method somewhere in its madness and he had rich, chocolate eyes, that would make you melt just by glancing at them.

He had a kind face, with defined, chiseled features, and a small crooked smile on his lips, urging me to just kiss them over and over. He had a slight stuble, but it suited him well.

I didn't realise I was staring at him until he ducked his head down slightly, making full eye contact.

I shrank back slightly, still terrified of this handsome stranger, even though he probably just saved my life.

He smiled softly again, reaching out and placing a hand on my foot. My trembling increased, but I didn't pull back this time.

Something inside me just told me to trust him, even if he looked strong and could easily overpower me and hurt me.

He smiled again when I let him keep his hand there, not breaking eye contact.

"It's ok, I won't hurt you love. Can you tell me, what's your name?" he asked tentatively, carefully.

I gulped, searching his eyes for deceit or trickery. I took a shaky breath.

"M-my n-names T-T... T-Ty..." I whimpered, hunkering down more after a particularly loud thunder clap almost cut me off.

The guy beamed, his kind face calming me somewhat.

"Hey Ty. I'm Adam." he said, and I could hear the smile I was seeing in his voice. I nodded slightly, not taking my eyes off him.

He looked like he was thinking for a second, then stood up, brushing himself off, extending his hand.

I flinched, looking up at him fearfully, noticing how strong and muscular he looked in his wet clothes.

He flashed me another kind smile, an honest look in his eyes.

"It's ok, I'm just helping you." he muttered lowly. I hesitantly let him haul me to my feet nervously clenching my body.

Just as he did so, a flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and I yelped, stumbling into Adam and burying my face in his chest. I hated storms.

He put his arms around me and hugged me to him protectively.

His embrace was warm and made me feel safe, which would surprise me, if I wasn't busy being terrified.

"Shh, it's ok love, I got you." he whispered, rocking me slightly. I whimpered, leaning more into him as more thunder boomed, the rain easing slightly, although still thick and heavy.

Adam pulled us away from the alley and headed towards a car, still clutching me to his side tightly, not letting go until he reached the car, which he unlocked and opened the back door.

I stared wide eyed, as he gestured for me to get in the back. I cringed away slightly, my eyes flicking from him to the open door and back again.

Could I trust him? Would he try to hurt me like the other guy?

Sensing my unease, Adam moved close to me, taking my hand in his lightly, looking me in the eyes.

"It's ok Ty, you can trust me. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want you safe and warm, and my car is good for that."

I hesitated slightly, before finally crawling in as the lightning picked up once more. Adam slid in next to me and closed the door, reaching forward and turning on the heating, the car soon warm and toasty.

I held my knees close to my chest once more, huddled precariously on the seat, as far away from Adam as possible.

He placed a hand on my shoulder, and I let out a shaky sigh, unraveling myself somewhat so I was not a shivering ball. I turned to Adam, warily, but grateful for his kindness.

"I-I, um, th-thank you, A-Adam..." I stuttered, my shaking voice barely above a whisper.

Adam chuckled, running a hand through his damp curly hair.

"No problem. I heard a commotion as I was heading to my car, and when I saw what that prick was doing to you..." he shuddered, a grimace on his face. It quickly returned to a smile and he moved slightly closer to me.

"So Ty, do you want me to drop you off home, or do you want to go to the police? I'm sure that creep would get a long time in prison for trying to hurt you like that."

I paused, before looking down, fiddling with the sleeve of my soaked hoodie. I sniffed, tears coming to my eyes.

Home.

I didn't have one of those.

A sudden thought hit me. When Adam finds out I'm gay, would he hurt me like my family did, make me get out and return to the creep, living on the streets lonely and afraid?

As these thoughts swirled in my mind, I found myself hyperventilating, sweat running down my face even though I was still freezing.

Two arms wrapped around me, pulling me onto Adams lap, where I gripped onto the front of his shirt tightly, trying to calm my body.

Oh god he's gonna hate me, my saviours going to hate me and kick me out and I'll die alone and cold on the street and-

My thoughts were cut off by Adam placing a kiss in the top of my head, slowly bringing me down from my hysteria.

"Ty relax, it's ok you're alright, it's just a panic attack. Focus on my voice for me love, you're safe, it's ok."

That endearment coupled with his soothing words, I eventually came out of my panic attack, my breathing going back to normal and I stopped sweating.

I leant against his chest, whimpering, taking deep breaths, breathing in Adams calming scent.

He rubbed my back comfortingly, and I sighed, relaxing fully in his grip. He placed another kiss on top of my head, resting his chin on my head.

"Feel better now?" he asked, still rubbing my back. I nodded, before pulling back, looking down at the seats embarrassed.

Here I was, snivelling like a baby, to this stranger I met an hour ago, in his car on his lap! He must think I'm such a freak.

Two fingers pulled my chin upwards until my dull russet eyes met Adams once again. His expression was gentle and caring as always, but now there was worry laced within.

"Can you tell me what happened just now?" he muttered, staring into my eyes unblinking. I bit my lip and closed my eyes. It was now or never.

"I... d-don't have a home A-Adam... I w-was sleeping i-in an alley further down the r-road..."

His eyes widened, and he gasped. I closed my eyes and braced myself, ready for the insults and disgust - but they never came.

I swallowed hard and looked up at him once more. There was sympathy in his expression, as well as confusion and pity.

He cocked his head to one side. "How old are you Ty? How long have you..." He trailed off, eyebrow raised.

I shrugged. "I'm eighteen and I've been on the street for almost three years now."

Adam gasped a little, and I looked down, before I felt Adam place a hand on my cheek, stroking it gently.

"Hey hey, don't cry now, you're gonna be safe."

I hadn't even realised I was crying and sniffed, myself now confused. "W-what do you mean?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers.

Adam cracked a large grin, making me giggle slightly at how excited he looked. It only made him look even more stunning.

"You're coming to live with me. My apartment a big enough, and I'm not letting you go back out onto the street knowing there's creeps like that out there." he said, a determined look in his eye.

My brain didn't seem to register his offer, until the nervousness crept up on me.

I didn't know who this guy was. I had known him for an hour and he picked me off the street... but something told me to just trust him.

I hesitated, thinking about my options, before nodding slightly. He beamed, hugging me tight to him, once again his strong arms making me feel like nothing in the world could hurt me.

After a while of just hugging, I pulled back, blushing and smiling. I crawled off his lap and sat back in the passenger seat, allowing Adam to get out and sit in the drivers seat, starting the engine and driving down the road, comfortable silence filling the car.

About ten minutes later, we pulled up outside a small apartment meant complex, parking in the carpark and Adam helping me out, holding my hand reassuringly as he guided me up to the elevator to the third floor, getting off and walking down the corridor until we stopped outside number 311.

He fumbled with his keys and unlocked the door, stepping in and flicking on the light switch.

I tentatively walked in, not sure what to do with myself as Adam rushed into one of the rooms, leaving me standing in the hall.

I closed the door behind me and awkwardly looked around. It wasn't bad; a reasonably sized apartment with modest furnishings, it seemed decent, fresh.

Adam returned with a set of clothes in one hand and a large white towel in the other. He smiled at me, and I blushed, not used to the kindness.

"Come on love, you need a hot shower and some dry clothes. I don't want you getting sick. The bathrooms in there, just call me if you need any help with anything." he said, pointing towards an open door on the left.

I nodded and he handed me the clothes and towel, before I walked to the bathroom, shouting the door and setting the clothes down.

Once I had showered and changed, I left the towel on the edge of the bath, before leaving the bathroom and making my way to the couch.

I saw Adam, sitting down and typing on a laptop, feet curled under him in the sofa. I coughed a little to get his attention, and he turned, flashing me a smile before gesturing to sit next to him.

I did so and he pulled me close, tucking a blanket around me. I blushed and he chuckled, putting an arm around my waist.

"It's fine, the heatings a little off so the best way to keep warm is to snuggle. You don't mind do you?" he asked, glancing at me cutely.

I almost melted at his look but kept composure. I nodded, relaxing slightly as he finished what he was typing and shut off the laptop, setting it down on coffee table.

He sighed and leant back, allowing me to slide closer to him so I could rest my head on his lap. He kept his hold on me, playing with my hair as we sat in silence, just content.

"Hey, Ty. If you don't mind, can I ask how you ended up on the street?" he asked, his fingers still running through my hair.

I tensed, biting my lip. I was starting to like this guy, he seemed really nice, would I ruin that by telling him why I got kicked out? Would he knick me out as well?

I mentally sighed, knowing I'd have to tell him eventually. I snuggled further not him, making the most out of this comfort. It may be the last I get.

"When I was fifteen, my family kicked me out. At first I lived with a friend, but once they learnt about the reason for my parents kicking me out, they did the same."

I took a deep breath, ready for the inevitable.

"They kicked me out because I-I'm gay, and when I told them they disowned me. I'm sorry, if you want me to go as well then I'll go, just-"

I was cut off by a finger pressed against my lips. I chanced a peek at Adam expecting a look of disgust, but I was met with a look of shock and anger.

I was worried he was angry at me and was going to hurt me, so I shrank away slightly, prepared for him to shout at me and hit me.

What I wasn't expecting was for him to pull me into a long, warm hug, completely enveloping me in a sense of peace.

"What they did is terrible Ty. I can't believe your own family would do something like that just because you're gay! It's despicable!"

He pulled back, cradling my head in his hands, looking at me solemnly in the eyes.

"Ty you're a great person. You deserve so much, and you're so strong to be able to survive til now. I promise, I'll take care of you, from now on. You'll live here, with me, does that sound good?"

I gasped, tears coming from my eyes. He didn't mind? He didn't think I was a disgusting hideous abomination, like my parents?

"You're not an abomination Ty, you're so beautiful and unique, and amazingly brave. I don't care if you're straight, gay, bi or fucking lesbian! You're a human being and I'll treat you like one."

I was crying hard by now, tears of pure joy rolling down my cheeks. He didn't mind, I don't know why, but he didn't, and I realised this was the first time someone had accepted me for who I am.

"Th-thank you, so much Adam, you don't know how happy you made me. Thank you so much." I croaked, my body heaving with sobs as I flung my arms around his neck, hugging the life out of him.

Adam froze for a second, before hastily hugging back, chuckling at my excitement. I was so happy and grateful, yet I couldn't understand why he wouldn't mind.

Everyone I've met in my life has shunned me for being gay, and here was the first person to accept it.

Adam chuckled again, and I blushed when I realised I had thought out loud again. I have got to stop doing that.

"You wanna know why I don't mind? Well, little secret, I'm not exactly a ladies man myself."

I gasped, pulling back and staring at him with my mouth hanging open. He just grinned back at me, eyes twinkling with something I couldn't quite place.

I just kept staring, and I saw a light blush dust his cheeks from my intense gaze. I quickly looked down, smiling.

Adam laughed, and I yelped as he stood up, me bundled in his arms, and he carried me out of the room.

Me fear instantly returned, he feeling of being restrained overwhelming me. I began to tremble again, whimpering as he opened a door, walking into the dark room.

He flicked on the light and I saw that it was a bedroom. My body went into lockdown.

He saved me just so he could have some fun with me at home.

He laid me down on the bed and I scrambled off, running to the corner of the room and curling up there in a ball.

If he can't move me he can't hurt me.

I watched like a hawk and he stood confused and slightly hurt next to the bed, before cautiously making his way over to me.

My eyes flickered to the door. If I can just make a run for it, but I know he'd catch me in an instant.

As he approached, I shrank back further and further into the wall until I could feel a loose nail dig into my flesh, no doubt tearing the skin.

He stopped and sat down on the floor in front of me, slowly extending his hand.

"Ty, I'm not going to do anything to you. I was taking you to this room so you could sleep. The couch is too small and I have only one bed, so I was going to sleep on the floor. Trust me love, I won't hurt you. Ever."

I searched his eyes for any lies, praying that he was telling the truth. I shakily reached out, hooking my pinky finger into his on his outstretched hand.

He looked surprised and I uncurled slightly.

"Promise you won't?" I whispered.

He gave me his trademark smile and winked, eyes shining.

"I promise Ty. I won't let anything happen to you."

I let out a relieved breath and crawled over to him, unhooking our fingers and leaning into his outstretched arms.

I immediately relaxed in his safe hug, and he rocked me slightly, reassuring me of his word.

Then i remembered he would be sleeping on the floor, and frowned. He shouldn't have to do that just for me, I should take the floor instead.

"No love, i insist that you take the bed. You haven't used on for god knows how long, and you need a good nights sleep more than I do."

Damn me and my stupid brain.

"I-if you like you can sleep on the bed with men? I mean, i-it's bigs enough, and I... I feel safe when you're holding me." I mumbled truthfully, blushing at the sappy thoughts.

Adam tensed for a second, before slowly nodding, kissing the top of my head again before helping me stand.

He gave me a lopsided grin, before taking off his pants. I copied, remembering that I slept in my boxers when I lived in a house.

Once his was ready he slipped into the left side of the bed, holding the other side open for me.

I blushed bright red and crawled in, curling up in the warmth of the bed. It's been so long since I felt a mattress under me that I almost cried.

I snuggled close to Adam, who I felt observing me cuddle into the blankets. He wrapped his arms around me and I rested my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. It was surprisingly fast.

I nuzzled into him more, smiling when he buried his face in my hair. I felt my eyelids drop, and I drifted off to sleep.

"Night Adam." I murmured, already half asleep.

Adam sighed contently, tightening his grip on me. "Night love."

A small squeak escaped my lips when he replied. I didn't know he heard me.

"You're so adorable Ty. I can't wait to live with you." That was the last thing I heard before sleep overcame me.

-Adams POV-

As I lay there, with Ty in my arms, I couldn't help but grin and gaze at him lovingly as he slept.

Creepy, I know, but the way his cute little nose scrunched up in his sleep was so adorable, it's hard not to watch.

Hearing his story broke my heart, knowing he was kicked out at such a young age for being himself.

I mentally thanked my parents for being so supportive of me, even if they didn't like it. They would do anything to see me happy and accepted it once I told them I was gay.

Ty mumbled something in his sleep, turning in my arms slightly. I bit back the squeal of joy as he did so, trying not to fan girl too much over his cuteness, it was just so much!

I loved the way he was so shy and polite, even when he was terrified of me.

I know I shouldn't have just taken him to the bedroom like that after what that disgusting pig tried to do to him earlier, and cursed to myself at his reaction.

I should have told him what I was doing so he didn't get the wrong idea. Poor guy is just so vulnerable and scared, he's like a caged animal, backed up into a corner easy to bolt.

I was surprised when he said he felt safe with me, even though we met just over two hours ago.

He was sweet, and... I kinda liked him. Don't get me wrong, we just met, but, there's something about him.

His placid temperament matched my calm and cheeky one, it was like it was meant to be...

Woah, I was going way to far. I don't even know if he likes me like that, and his ability to trust is tainted at best.

If I really did want some sort of relationship with him, I'd have to go slow, earning his trust, and maybe even love. But that was pushing it.

"Oh Ty, you don't know what you do to me my love." I whispered to his sleeping form, head tucked into my neck facing up.

I bit my lip as I stared at his lips, small and rosy, itching to be kissed.

I thought for a second, then leant down, planting a small kiss on his pink lips. It felt so right, his moulding with mine perfectly.

I heard a small gasp and looked, my eyes widening when I saw two huge maroon orbs gazing back at me.

I immediately pulled away, lips tingling, and sat up. Shit, he's gonna be freaked out so much.

"I-I, um... I-I'm s-sorry, Ty I don't-"

I was cut of by a hand placed on my cheek.

I glanced at Ty sheepishly, biting my lip nervously. He giggled slightly, his little laugh music to my ears.

"D-don't apologise, Adam. I, kinda liked it..." he admitted, a blush making its way to his face.

I felt my own face heat up, and before I could respond his lips crashed into mine, bringing my head down.

I sank into it feverishly, loving the taste of him. Our mouths worked in sync, lips locked, no tongue, just sweet and passionate.

After a few seconds he pulled back, lips slightly swollen and face flustered. He grinned, his eyes gleaming in the light.

He looked absolutely gorgeous, and I am so glad he trusted me to let me kiss him.

"So beautiful..." I muttered, smiling at him softly. He blushed harder, and scooted close, hugging me.

"I, think I like you Adam. Like, like like you." he whispered, almost as if it were a secret. I chuckled at his choice of words and hugged back.

"I think I like like you as well Ty. I think I really do."

I could feel his smile against my chest, and he poked his head up, eyes gleaming with hope and adoration.

I pecked his lips and shifted him onto my lap so he was straddling me, my forehead resting on his.

"I know we've just met and all, but do you think we could try and give this a go? How about I take you on a date tomorrow, and we can take things from there. We can go as slow as possible, I promise."

I looked at him pleadingly. I really liked him, and if I could have him as a boyfriend, then I'd be really happy.

He seemed to think for a second, biting his lip as he did so in an incredibly sexy way, before letting out a breath, smiling timidly.

"Take it slow?"

I smiled and nodded.

"Take it slow. Thank you love. Let's get some rest, we'll be busy tomorrow."

He crawled off my lap and curled up next to me, his small arms around my waist, head on my chest.

I laid down next to him, curling into him as he had, our bodies fit together like jigsaw pieces.

As I drifted off to sleep, I couldn't help but think I was so lucky to have found someone like Ty, his saviour, and perhaps later, his lover.

Meh, I'm not too sure about this one, but Skylox! :3 Any Skylox is good Skylox, even if it is shitty like this. Luvs has bubs! Laika out.
