I want to live

Chapter 10

After getting home Luke continued to assault and beat the s**t out of Elijah only leaving bruises at places where nobody would see and only leaving hickeys where it would be impossible to hide or miss them.

So, going to school wasn't exactly on the top 10 of what he wanted to do the next morning. But at the same some he wanted to use it as an excuse to get away from Luke.

He went over to the closet and got out a uniform that the school had provided him he went and got changed in the small bathroom, but when he went outside, he noticed that the bed was empty.

"Baby~ Breakfast is ready~" Elijah flinched but slowly make his way towards the kitchen. "Did you sleep well baby~? Elijah was used to this now, how he would act as if nothing happened yesterday...

"My butt hurts~" he playfully whines as he smiles at him.

"I'm sorry I was so rough with you." He kisses the top of his head and smiles at him. "Should I drive you to school? I have work, so I need to go that way anyway."

Elijah simply shakes his head. "You can't fool me~ you have work in more two hours after my school starts and it would a huge detour for you. It's fine~ I can just walk." I kiss his cheek. and he 'kindly' smiles at me. „I just have to keep smiling„

While in Luke's mind nothing was wrong, his boyfriend was fine, so he was fine, if his boyfriend was smiling, then he was smiling. Sure, he was a little rough on yesterday but that was only because he thought his 'Baby' was cheating on him since he didn't come home. But after teaching him the consequences of cheating, he explained that he got called into work and then decided to go to the dance-studio afterward. After hearing the story, he agreed that he may or may not have been too rough on him.

As they were eating breakfast Luke was writing and at times he would glance at Elijah. "What are you writing?" "Piano notes, we have had a project where we had to record and present what we liked the most, so I'm going to play the piano and sing to a special song."

He got up from his seat and walked over to the piano in the living room. "Can you help me with the piano?" Elijah nods, his boyfriend would have this thing where he would either be Elijah's worst nightmare or the nicest and most caring person in the world. It made leaving 100% harder.

All in all, he's ticking fluffy atom bomb at all times.

Elijah got done chewing his food and made his way towards the piano. Luke went into their room and got out a camera where after he put the notes on the stance so both of them could see it and got the guitar, he sat on a chair and made a slow pace beat on the floor, indicating when they were going to start. "3... 2...1"

Elijah began playing the notes and they instantly went in sync, like they had tried playing like this a thousand times, but in reality, Elijah had never seen the notes before and Luke had never practiced it. Elijah had always been captivated by Luke's beautiful sing voice; I could never sing like that no matter how hard I tried.

This was also one of the things that made Elijah still feel like he should give him more chances. He was torn between sides, one being, accepting the fact that Luke was a monster and the other being that he was indeed a sweet guy but just... unstable.

„He was still the person I loved... No matter how you look at it, he was the person I gave my heart too, my virginity, my whole life...„ Even though he was in his own world his fingers still moved around the keyboard. Music was like his sixth sense, if he could look at the notes for maybe 30-40 seconds, he would have already memorized it.

There were even a few times he would appear in the audio version of some rookie groups doing their rap-lines. But his name was never shown, it would just say | ft. JAY | It was the name he liked the most so when strangers asked his name and he didn't completely trust them he would just say the name, you guessed it, Jay.

Elijah wanted to think that Luke was a good guy, that his outbursts were just a weird way of showing his affection, but a part of him also knew that that wasn't true. "—By Baby! why are you crying?" Luke quickly stopped the recording and ran over to the pianist and hugged him.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I was thinking of something sad..." Elijah buried his face in the crook of his neck. "I was thinking of you leaving me..." He hugged him tighter "I'll never leave you, as long as you never leave me."

This just made him cry even more. „Why can't I get myself to hate and leave him„ "Baby~ Your eyes are red~" He moved away from the hug and kissed the tears away. "Don't you remember what I said to you the day we started dating?" He grabbed each side of his face, his eyes looking around, almost as if they were searching for something. "That no matter how many times you would cry... I promised I would always be there to kiss the tears away." He pulled Elijah closer, so he was sitting on his lap, making him a tad taller than the other. "For as long as I live, I will keep that promise." He bent his head a bit and used this chance to passion and lovingly kiss the younger, the other melted into the kiss. Luke was the first to pull away. "I love you with all my heart and all my being... Duncan Elijah, when the right time comes, I will ask you to marry me... But not now..."
