Prologue

"I will never allow it!"

The cursed words that spilled from his father's lips, continued to replay like a broken record over and over again, as hastily he threw open a black suitcase and lay it flat out on the bed. Warm sienna eyes flashed across in a pained expression at the messy headed brunet, who right now was throwing piles of clothes out of the wardrobe and onto the bed.

"Touya...are you sure this is a good idea?" Said brunet utterly quietly, trying his utmost to help the elder boy pack the suitcase effectively, folding t-shirts and shorts and laying them in a neat pile.

"You want to be with me, right?" The question was abrupt, and it caught the younger boy off guard, but he nodded quickly.

"Of course I do...you know that."

"Then just trust me Nate, this is the only way we can have what we dreamed of...your mother hates me, and she will do anything to tear us apart." He was of course correct. Ever since the two families became merged nothing seemed to make sense anymore. All Touya ever wanted was for his own mother and father to reunite, and make the family whole again. Instead his whole world was split apart, and now his relationship with Nate was hanging in the balance.

"I know...I do trust you..." The reply was meek, as hazel eyes blinked rapidly, attempting to conceal the overwhelming emotions that threatened to spill out for all to see. Instead he concentrated on ensuring he was being as helpful as possible, handing essentials to Touya, and watching as it all was put neatly into the suitcase.

"Once we get away from here we can live our own lives, we won't have to worry about anyone else, okay?" The idea was paradise right now, and no matter what, they were intent on achieving it. Once Touya placed the last item in the suitcase, he paused as he felt the small, nimble fingers of the younger brunet latch onto his arm.

"...I love you Touya..."

A shy smile tugged at Nate's lip, as his eyes glanced away, his fingers feeling the subtle warmth of honey blemished skin beneath them. Touya greeted his smile, and pulled the younger boy close, arms wrapping around his slim frame protectively.

"I love you too Nate. I won't let anyone get between us, okay? I promise you that"

A soft sigh escaped into the atmosphere, as both boys embraced for what felt like an eternity. It felt so good to just forget about the world for a while, and to just simply enjoy each other's presence. The warmth was alluring and comforting, something that Nate had never experienced in his entire fifteen years of life. He never wanted to let this go.

"...I am scared...your dad...my mom...what if..."

"Hey, don't think like that. Everything will be fine. They will get over it eventually." Fingers gripped onto the blue fabric on Touya's t-shirt tightly, frightened that if by chance he let go, the older brunet would vanish from his life completely. He buried his nose against his chest, inhaling the subtle aroma of cedarwood and amber. Touya's favourite cologne. How he adored that signature scent.

"...your sister hates me..." He whimpered, feeling scared.

"Touko doesn't hate you, Nate...she's just...possessive." Touya gently combed his fingers lovingly through the younger boy's hair, in an attempt to calm down his overexert mind. He hated seeing him this way, so het up and worried about the outcome of their actions.

"...I'm taking you away from her..."

"Now, stop thinking that way right now. No-one is doing that, okay? This is OUR decision, this is what we want. Why should we feel ashamed to want to be together?"

It seemed those words had a positive effect on the younger male, who nodded and smiled up at Touya. He was greeted sweetly by a lingering kiss, that allowed butterflies to erupt inside his stomach, and give his body a feeling of weightlessness. He craved Touya's love, more than a flower needs rain to survive. Without it life didn't seem to make sense anymore.

Gently his hands cupped Nate's cheeks, tenderly brushing his thumb over soft, delicate skin. He watched as hazel eyes fluttered shut, and then opened once more revealing their beauty. This was one thing he never bargained for. From the offset, Touya never once imagined he would actually fall for Nate. It was just supposed to be a way out, an act of revenge against his father for hurting his mother, but now he was in so deep, he was starting to drown.

"We better leave...they'll be home soon."

Their lips met once more, briefly, before they parted from the embrace, and Touya continued to ensure that they had all the essentials vital for their journey. The younger brunet felt almost helpless, unsure of what to do to aid his lover in his quest, so instead he tried to tidy things up, and make it appear to the untrained eye that everything was as it should be.

They made haste, and soon enough the suitcase was zipped up, and ready. Touya sighed, combing his fingers through his hair as he admired the handy work that stood before him.

That was it, they were all set.

Nate however, seemed slightly on edge. Perhaps it was due to the fact deep down he was still just a fifteen year old boy, who was acting on impulse, and was deeply terrified of the outcome. He knew that with Touya by his side that nothing bad would happen, but the consequences of such a reckless outburst never came into the equation.

"Right...have we got everything?"

"Um...I think so, where are we going anyway?" Touya dragged the rather heavy suitcase off the bed, and placed it on its wheels on the carpet, pulling the handle up so it was easier to manoeuvre.

"I have a friend who lives far away from here. He said we could crash there until we sort something out."

"A-are you sure that's okay?" Without thinking, Touya gently took a hold of Nate's hand, entwining their fingers together. He smiled warmly, something that a few months prior to this was an alien concept.

"Nate, stop worrying, okay? I promised to take care of you, and that's what I intend to do." The younger boy nodded meekly, and squeezed his hand in an act of reassurance. He had put his entire trust and faith into Touya, someone who not too long ago was a vile, evil, manipulative and twisted person to be around. It was amazing how much he had changed in such a short space of time.

"Come on...we don't have much time." With that said, both boys made haste towards the bedroom door, pulling the heavy suitcase behind them, and ensuring that this was one place they were never intending on returning to.

Attempting to pull the suitcase down a flight of stairs proved harder than originally thought, so it involved both boys taking the opposite end and carrying it down, until they reached the bottom. This was it, it was actually happening. They were actually going to leave this place, and be happy together.

It was so overwhelming for the younger brunet, who watched as Touya grabbed their jackets, tossing Nate's in his direction. He was fifteen and leaving home, without a care in the world, to be with the one person who he had fallen so deeply in love with. It was somehow so cliché.

"Are you okay?" Touya observed, as he zipped up his outdoor jacket, eyeing Nate momentarily. He received a nod in affirmation.

"Yeah...it's just...wow."

"I know right," He grinned. "I actually can't believe we're doing this. It's so amazing!"

"Are you sure you want this? To be with me?" Nate questioned quietly, adjusting his own jacket on his shoulders, and zipping up the garment, before stuffing his feet into his trainers.

"Nate...I don't make a habit of running away with every attractive brunet I meet you know~" He was teasing, and the notion caused the younger male to blush slightly in response. Sometimes he just needed reassurance, even if he did believe everything Touya said to him.

"I don't mean that, just...you won't change your mind, will you?" Once Touya had put his trainers on, and tied the laces, he walked closer to the shorter boy, and placed his hands supportively on his shoulders, watching as large hazel eyes glanced up at him.

"Nate, I promise you I will never change my mind. I love you, and I want to be with you." The words that escaped Touya's lips sent Nate ablaze. He adored hearing such sweet things from him, it made it all seem that much more special, and worthwhile. Without another word being uttered he nodded in response, smiling kindly at his lover. He had to believe his words, and he had to have some faith that things were going to work out.

"...ready to go?"

Once again, Nate nodded, as Touya pulled the suitcase to the front door. He fiddled in his jacket pocket for his keys and retrieved them before unlocking the door.

When the door opened with a creak, all the colour drained from his once honey complexion, and the keys clattered against the wooden flooring. Both boys stared, dumbstruck at what had caught their attention. It was none other than Touya's father, coming home from work early. He glared intensely at the two boys, before muttering the words;

"You're not going anywhere..."
