His hand gestures, however, didn’t pause at all; it was like a puppet being forced by strings. The boys around us began to chuckle, passing around a single cigarette, while tapping the ash onto whoever refused to smoke it. Not that any of them felt it. A disgusting hand waved it in front of Kev - also right in front of my face. The stench of it nudged me back into the odour of alcohol, so strong I could taste it. Kev dragged me more into his body - clearly misunderstanding where I wanted to go. A hand groped my ass. The door seemed too far away. “You alright, Ethan?” Both his face and breath were uncomfortably close. In an attempt to get away, I hastily nodded. It didn’t work. He rested the end of the cigarette in his mouth, and deeply inhaled. The longing to leave grew. Smoke poured out of his mouth when he finally handed the stick to the next person waiting, almost dumping ash into my hair. If I’d have kicked up a fuss, he’d have said it didn’t matter: “it would be camouflaged anyway, love!” “Oi! Kev, you missed ‘im!” Someone whose name had slipped my mind - maybe I hadn’t bothered to learn it in the first place - called out. Obviously, I hadn’t smoked, nor had burning ash tapped on me. In confusion, Kevin had released me from the unrelenting grip he'd had on me. Realizing now was the best time to escape, I scurried up onto my feet, thanking myself that I had spat out the alcohol given to me earlier. The rest were drunk enough that their reflexes had taken a heavy impact, but their tongues had loosened and quickly became venomous, throwing out insults and crude remarks. Some tried to reach for my ankles, purely trying to knock me to the ground. One managed to.  I've never felt so panicked in my life - laying dazed on a floor, surrounded by drunken, dangerous men.  "Heh, come on love... You know it never hurts to share your talents..." Disgusting.  "We've heard about what a little whore you can be..." Another commented.  Before any of them could get closer, I threw my body towards the door, not even bothering to stand properly - I just wanted to get out, I didn't care if I broke anything in the process. Fortunately, I landed just in front of the door, and gripped onto it, as if it was my last chance of survival. The door had always fucked me over. Maybe this once it would save me. With an unrelenting force, I ripped it open, and tumbled forward, closing it with my exit. "Don't be such a frigid bi-" The door slamming blocked out the rest of their sentence; not that it was difficult to finish it. Yet now I'd left, I was unsure of where to go. Considering what had just happened, I didn't favour the idea of going back into the room, nor staying in the dingy apartment. It reeked of sweat, alcohol and smoke. Disgusting. I prayed that the stench hadn't infected my clothes. During times like this, I was glad that we'd moved into a forest area, just outside the city. The taste of fresh air was like honey pouring down my throat, soothing the soreness inside. Yet it couldn't cure everything. As much as I adore seeing winter in its finer moments, the threat of frostbite lingered, and I found myself more stressed out by the shivers and goosebumps appearing on my bare arms. There was no way I could go back into that place, even if I wanted to. Patting down my pockets revealed that, luckily, I hadn't left my wallet behind. Whether it had any money was an entirely different story. Without realising, I'd began to wander aimlessly towards the city, where excited children were clinging onto their mothers' and fathers' hands, dancing along icy paths without a care in the world. I envied them. One pointed at my hair and exclaimed that it was the same colour as the snow, eliciting gasps from them all. Parents smiled sympathetically for their outburst, but did nothing to stop them crowding around, asking and asking again. "Why is your hair white?" I've never really had much experience with kids, nor know how to treat them. My mouth opened and closed a few times - horrifically similar to a fish - only to shrug in response. Still, I attempted a warm smile as they left, begging their parents for snow white hair. I found myself wishing, my eyes trailing on after them. I've never been sure as to why I have white hair. The foster home used to joke that I was aging faster than everyone else. Some believed that I'd dyed it. Both are quite obviously lies. Factually, it must come from my parents - not that I would know anything about them, let alone what they look like. The other kids used to ask if I missed them; how can you miss people you don't remember? Or rather, don't wish to remember. "-than. Ethan?" I'd been so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't realise that someone was trying to talk to me. I can't say I particularly wanted to talk to this someone, though. "Sorry." "It's okay darlin'. What were you thinking about?" At this point, his arms were already thrown around me. "I-" "I suppose it doesn't matter now. Why'd you leave the party?" "I," Pausing, I assumed I was going to get interrupted again. Yet when I looked up, I only found two hazel eyes looking at me expectantly. How was I meant to answer this without offending him? I don't - I don't know. But here I was, boxed in by arms that were frighteningly similar to cage bars and something less... Physical, to put it simply. Breaking out of something that didn't exist was an entirely new concept to me - so, quite obviously, I didn't know how to do it. Suddenly, I realised my lack of response must have been suspicious. "I didn't like it." "Is it what they sa-" "Please don't." My tone was sombre and sober; his was dreamy and drunk. I didn't want- forget that, I couldn't deal with it at that moment. As I began to flee, his hand shot out and held onto mine tightly, unrelenting. I couldn't help but snap at him. "What?!" His eyes grew teary, reminding me of a kicked puppy. Instantly, guilt grew within me, yet I knew apologising would just make me feel worse. The guilt gnawing at my conscience increased as his hand - shaking slightly, whether through nerves or the drugs - reached behind him and pulled out a small box coated in a rich felt. "I want- I'm asking you to marry me." Nothing had ever panicked me as much as that one sentence did. I've witnessed a mother smash a bottle into shards before my very eyes, only to rush at me with what was left of it. I don't know whether I'm bragging when I say I didn't flinch. Yet this little box made me feel even more petrified than those daggers at the end of the bottle. His hands, surprisingly, kept their harsh grip for the fair few moments of silence we were stuck in. I suppose it was the only source of comfort - the heat radiating from his palms kept mine warm. Yet when I finally glanced up, I didn't see the charming face I was expecting to see. Instead, I saw a face that resembled the harshest winters, burning a hole right through me. A face I'd never seen before. I didn't like it. "Why aren't you saying yes?" Then, rather suddenly, it dawned on me how much had changed. God, it used to be so good. I used to feel love. I used to fucking feel.  Where did all of that go? Where did it go, Kevin - did you wish it away? Or were you always like this?   ***** i’ll never ask, i’ll never ask again ***** Chapter Summary Things get heated.   many thanks to masc_devil, who did a lot of work on this chapter!! Born in 1999, Ethan Langdon was a boy with little faith in the world. From the age of 12 years old, he'd lost all memory of his past life. All the foster home knew was that he was born on Christmas Day, oddly enough - his parents clearly didn't value their gift. However, when he'd first arrived, Ethan couldn't even remember his own birthday. Every now and then, little odd things would surface, along with darker memories. Memories of ash, memories of broken glass, memories of blood. Fear, fire, force. However, his history - or lack of it - showed no fires with his name. The only police report that came up was a mother abusing her son, but the child remained unnamed. The foster home could only presume it was him, the tremors and the nightmares only substantiating the idea further. The report spoke of a failing relationship. The nightmares, screaming, and fear of affection spoke of something more that the kid couldn't say himself. After many, many tests, they finally discovered that Ethan had lived an awful life - full of abuse, both verbal and physical. It broke Mike (the owner of the foster home, Mike Langdon), to see such a sweet kid so... lifeless. It was like a doll had been dropped off, all responses seeming as though they'd been programmed into him. Simple questions like "did you want a drink", or "are you hungry" were quickly cut off by "no thank you" in the same monotone voice. Back when Ethan first arrived, the foster home was incredibly quiet, only home to a few children. Most were orphans, children who’d either been forced into the system or given in by family members who couldn’t bear the hassle of a trouble child. There was one child, however, who was a special case - picked out specifically by Mike, taken in by him when he first started up the home a few years ago. Nate Langdon, a young, lively teenager who clicked with anyone that entered the foster home. Even Ethan couldn’t resist his friendliness, and even though he stayed silent and emotionless, he stuck to Nate’s side. That’s how the whole damn thing started. Kevin joined only a year after Nate did, and the boy was known for malicious tendencies. There was just something about him... some evil spark, some sort of hint that told anybody that he could snap at any moment. They all just put it down to his past, and perhaps he’d change. He seemed kind enough, and Mike couldn’t bear to let him go. So when Ethan joined, Kevin put on his best charm. He’d found someone he knew he could take advantage of, and boy did he. The minute the white haired boy came out of his shell, he was instantly smitten with how funny and attractive Kev was, and how kind he’d been. He felt safe around this new person, as if nothing could ever hurt him again. Before even a year had gone by, he’d became dependent on Kev, craving the attention he was given so lovingly. A couple of months later, he was now his lover. A week later, they were spooning on Ethan’s bed. “I love you, baby. No one is ever gonna love you like I do.” Kev murmured in Ethan’s ear, his arms wrapped tightly around his waist. Ethan felt secure, safe, and loved - his eyes closed, the warm feeling of belonging drifting through him. He let Kev’s words soothe him into a trance, before he felt something pressing up against his backside. “Feel that? You did that, that’s what you do to me baby.” Ethan was 14, and he knew how erections worked, knew what was behind him. That didn’t mean it didn’t scare him, though. Kev had began to grind up against him, murmuring sweetly into his ear, but it made no difference - if anything, Ethan tensed up even more. His lover must’ve felt it, since he stopped, lifting himself up to lean over, looking at Ethan. “You okay, sweetheart? I know this is new for you, but I want to show you how much I love you…” Blushing, the younger boy nodded, watching how Kev grinned before pressing a kiss onto the rosy cheek. They resumed their spooning, Kev still grinding before moving a hand down to palm Ethan’s dick through his shorts. Startled by the sudden touch, Ethan jumped back, right onto the hard cock behind him, causing his lover to let out a guttural moan. One hand quickly pulled down his shorts and boxers, pulling his ass apart to grind against his taint. “I’ll stretch you out nice and wide, baby… you won’t feel a thing, I promise.” Ethan, in a dream-like state, didn’t resist to the finger that suddenly pressed at his hole. He’d heard Kev spit on it, and hoped that it would be slick enough to enter without hurting. It just felt weird, really. Like it didn’t belong there. After only a few pumps, another finger pushed in, the dryness of it quickly becoming uncomfortable. Ethan let out a small noise of complaint, which Kev took as a noise of pleasure. “Yeah, yeah, I knew you’d love it…” He murmured from behind, fingers now prodding into him with a force so painful it brought tears to his eyes. “I don’t… shit, I don’t have condoms or lube…” Kev said, sighing as he got up to look around the room for anything they could use. Ethan continued to lay there limply, trying to forget the slight ache of his hole being treated so roughly. “Hm… We’ll just have to use my spit, baby…” His heart raced; if this hurt with just fingers, it would hurt a hell of a lot more with a cock. “I’ll go slow, you won’t feel it, I promise.” The moment Ethan felt the body press up against him again, he flinched. Kev rubbed his back reassuringly, before moving his hand in front of the boy’s face. “Spit, babe.” And so he did, but it was a pathetic amount. His whole mouth had dried in fear. The hand moved behind him, and he heard the disgusting noise of Kev spitting too, before the slick sounds of it being rubbed over his cock were audible to Ethan’s ears. A hand spread him apart again, his hole stinging at the touch. The tip nudged his hole, and he instinctively clenched down, refusing any entry. “Relax baby, it won’t hurt… I’ll be gentle.” The kind words weren’t even registered by Ethan, too focused on the cock forcing entry into him. God, did it hurt. His hand moved to his mouth as he tried not to cry, tears falling down his face as it felt like he was being torn apart. “St-stop!” Unable to suffer anymore, Ethan finally cried out. Surprisingly, Kev did stop, his hand moving to draw patterns on his lover’s hip in an attempt to calm him down. “Please… please take it out, it hurts too much.” He begged, his hands gripping at the bed sheet tightly as he prayed he wasn’t bleeding in his asshole. He wasn’t ready to go get that shit patched up by Mike, like his other scars. “I can’t pull out baby… it’ll hurt you more.” Maybe if Ethan was older, and knew more, he’d realise Kev was lying. Maybe. It didn’t matter anyway - Ethan knew he wanted it out, right now. “I don’t care… please take it out.” He sobbed, unable to move himself in fear of causing even more pain. Kev must’ve taken pity on him, as he felt the length slowly slide out, until he felt the cool air on what seemed like open wounds. “Am..am I bleeding?” He asked hesitantly, his voice breaking with each sob that wracked his body. “No, no. You’re not bleeding.” Kev attempted to sound caring, but Ethan could hear his annoyance. “If you were bleeding I would have stopped by myself.” He grumbled, turning away from the younger boy, sulking. Ethan felt even worse, guilt now spreading inside of his gut, making him feel like throwing up. “S-sorry…” He stuttered out, tears falling again as he whimpered into his sleeve. Kev sighed, turning to face Ethan’s back again, pressing a kiss onto the pale neck in front of him. “If you really want to make it up to me… let me cum on your ass.” He said, smirking as he reached down, already touching his dick to bring it to fully erect. Ethan nodded, not really wanting it but saying yes just to ease some of the guilt he felt. He felt his lover thrust forward into his fist, his eyes closing as he tried to relax, tried to convince himself that it was okay. This was the first time he’d ever felt anything less than safe with Kev, the first time he’d ever felt truly threatened. He tried to tell himself that it was okay, he was just overreacting. His thoughts were interrupted by grunting, and a cock sliding between his cheeks to prod at his hole again. Before he could even resist, or tell his lover to stop, he felt a warm liquid splatter his insides, the contact of it instantly stinging. He got up on shaky legs, stumbling to the bathroom, before locking himself in - or rather, locking Kev out.   Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
