Lucien and Lex~ These two met as teenagers as well. Lex was sitting at this bar, with a boyfriend of his. Lex was underage but his boyfriend was not. It was a rainy day in London, and Lucien wanted a drink, once made properly for him so he can get drunk. Lucien was sixteen at the time and Lex was seventeen. They met one year before Lucien met Candy. All went to shit before that day.

Lucien walked into the bar and sat down beside Lex's boyfriend. He ordered himself a beer at first to start off his drunken journey. He fixed himself in his seat and turned his head, to find Lex staring at Lucien. The Prince placed his index finger between his closed lips and rubbed them. Lex took a long sip of the gin he ordered. The two have seen each other at school. They have a few classes together, and it was odd seeing one another here. Perhaps that's why they're staring at each other. Perhaps it's not. Lucien feels more of a weird feeling inside of him. He's not so sure he likes it. The boyfriend turns to look at Lucien and his eyes are caught.

"What the hell are you staring at?" The older guy shouts and Lucien lifts his eyebrow.
"Oh, sorry. I was daydreaming about something, mate." The man laughed in Lucien's face. "Stop staring at my little man." Lucien's eyes widened. His little man? That sounds disgusting and perverted.
"You're disgusting. You call your own boyfriend a little man? You mean a little boy!" Lucien took a sip of his drink before something bad started to happen. The man rolled his eyes and turned his back on Lucien and began to talk to Lex again. While he spoke, Lex moved his face over the man's shoulder to see Lucien. The prince's lips curved into a smile and then he turned away from Lex.
"What the fuck is going on in here! WHERE IS MY SON?!" Lex's father shouted, storming into the bar. Lex quickly stood up, scared and in shock. Lucien stood up and grabbed Lex, shoving him to get out of there. Lucien rushed to help because he knew how it felt to be chased down by your father.
Once Lucien shoved him into the bathroom stall, he placed his hand over his mouth, silencing him before he could say anything. The bathroom doors slam open and the father shouts.
"Lex! Are you in here, boy!" Lucien looked into Lex's eyes and looked him up and down before smiling. The father banged on all the stall doors, opening the ones with nobody inside until he got to Lucien's door.
"Open up!" He shouted in his deep voice.
"Mate, can't you see I'm fucking busy..I'm in the middle of fucking my girl! Your boy isn't here." Lucien lied and Lex whimpered to make it seem more realistic.
"Better be a girl." He snarled and Lucien chuckled. Once the father left the bathroom he pulled his hand off of Lex's mouth. Immediately, Lex pushed him off.
"I didn't need your help." Lucien rolled his eyes, "Seemed like you did. What's your name?" Lex laughed, "I'm not telling you! Just so you can go around like the other bitches and talk about what I am and who I love!" Lucien smiled.
"I do not wish to judge you, mate. I wish to know you. I wish to understand you." Lex's eyes widened.
"Why? What's it do for you?"
Lucien shrugged, "understanding what I am."

This is the day these two damaged boys became friends, this day was also when Lex ran away from home and stayed with Lucien for a while. They learned more about each other and the differences two men can have. It was quite the uncertain alliance. They were friends for five more years after that. Lucien and Lex drifted apart. Lex betrayed Lucien, just like everyone else does. Lucien never trusted anyone after this. After all the things they've gone through and done together, they trusted one another and Lex tossed that away as soon as he could. He must've gotten two vulnerable, just like Lucien. They were at their most vulnerable state with one another. Sometimes, that doesn't help a friendship but sometimes it does. They stopped being friends, and Lucien never saw Lex again until he did. It was on Lucien's 22nd birthday. Two years after the downfall of their friendship. Lex ordered his men to kill Lucien, Lex's men never came back to him. This started a war, now. Lucien had to watch his back against two of his old friends. This is how Lucien became so untrustworthy and so disrespectful. Thank you, Lex and Vance.
