Kai woke up, stretching his sore limps and getting up. He headed downstairs to see Luka there, sitting on the stool by the counter.

"You slept all day without eating." Luka said, "I made you food."

"Thank you," Kai said, softly sitting beside Luka. The older male pushed the plate to Kai.

Luka cooked a plate of spaghetti for Kai, who happily took a bite, "this is good," Kai said.

Luka just nodded.

Kai finished the plate, pushing it away from him and looking at Luka, "who taught you how to"

Kai was cut off when Luka leaned forward, taking it thumb and rubbing it gently against Kai's lip. He backed up, "you had a bit of sauce there."

Kai's whole face lit up a bright red, "o - oh, um, t - thank you." Kai sputtered out, fumbling over his words.

Luka raised a brow in amusement, "you okay there, kitten?"

Kai let out an inhuman noise at the nickname that left Luka's mouth so naturally.

Luka let out a chuckle, at the flustered human.

"Cute." He mumbled before getting up, picking up the plate, and going to wash it.

Kai followed behind him, watching the male wash the dish. "I never got to ask you, why is it dangerous to love me?"

Luka tensed up, he was hoping the human would forget, but he didn't.

"It just is." That is all Luka said, before leaving Kai alone in the kitchen as he dashed up the stairs.

Kai let out a sigh, wondering when Luka was ever going to open up to him.

He feared that asking that question would have started them back to square one, but he had to try.

He wanted answers, he deserved to know why Luka thought he wasn't worthy of love. Why did he feel the need to push away anyone who came close to loving him?

His brothers hated and loved Luka and it was obvious. No matter what Luka did to them, they still held that hope that their old Luka would come back.

So Kai didn't want to stop pushing until he got him back until the Luka everyone wanted came back.

He plopped down on the couch, clicking the t.v. on, when moaning came through the speaker, Kai jumped, seeing two males, having sex.

The smaller one's face was twisted up in pleasure as the bigger one pounded relentlessly onto the smaller one.

Kai's face flushed bright pink as he panicked to turn off the t.v., but in his fit of panic, the remote fell from his hand and onto the floor, bouncing and falling in the volume up. When the moaning got louder, Kai squealed. When he heard the whole pitch moan, as the man whined he was coming, he fumbled with the remote, finally turning to look at the t.v., just in time to see the smaller male cum all over himself.

He turned it off and finally relaxed.

"If you were horny, I would have offered to help," Luka said, as he stood by the stairway.

"I - I wasn't, the t.v. was on the - wait, you're teasing me, aren't you?" Kai pouted.

"About you being horny, yeah, but offering to help, no," Luka said, a sly smirk on his face.

Kai looked away, "oh, so you wouldn't want to love me, but you wouldn't mind fucking me?"

"No strings attached." Luka shrugged, making Kai get up, push him out the way, and start to walk up the stairs.

"What is your problem?" Luka asked.

Kai scoffed, turning around and facing Luka. "I am not a toy for you to use. I don't just open my legs to any male."

"You opened them for Matteo and Zane." Luka spat, crossing his arms.

"Is that what you think?" Kai said, his voice cracking, "that I'm just a cheap whore who open their legs for any male who shows interest? You don't want to love me, you just want my body, and guess what? You'll never get it because this isn't you. This heartless piece of shit person you keep playing is a waste of time and I'm tired of having to keep trying to push you to let me love you and adore you the way you deserve." Kai screamed, tears flowing down his face.

"I don't deserve love after all I've done." Luka spat back.

"That's for me to decide, not you. Stop telling me that I shouldn't love you when you never gave me the chance to. I am a grown male and you're treating me like a child, telling me it's dangerous and when I ask why you get quiet and just tell me not to. I deserve an explanation." Kai said, making Luka scoff.

"You wanna fucking know? Okay fine," Luka said, appearing in Kai's face, "the last person I loved, I killed." He said.

Kai's eyes met his, "did you mean to?" He asked, placing his hand on Luka's cheek.

"No, of course not, but-"

"Then let me love you. You never meant to harm them and I know you will never harm me on purpose."

"I - I," Luka said, words not able to find their way out.

Kai leaned up and kissed Luka's nose gently, "I'm an adult, stop deciding for me. I'll wait as long as I need for you to trust me and more importantly trust yourself."

"I'm a monster, how could you ever love me?"

"Tale as old as time, tune as old as song, bittersweet and strange, finding you can change, learning you were wrong."
