(Lionel's Pov)

Waking up to banging on my bedroom door I let out a little groan burying my face into the pillow more. The banging stops after a moment I relaxing and start to doze back off when suddenly my blankets are yanked off of me I immediately letting out a petulant whine I hearing my brother's voice. "Come on now up. We have a drug deal I need you to do." I peek one of my eyes open giving my brother Sean a look. "It's nine in the morning." I see my brother roll his eyes. "Come on I'll send Taejon and Chunghee with you." I grumble but get up stretching and point towards the door sternly my brother thankfully leaving my room. I let out a miserable sigh as I get up and pull on some black jeans with a black and white t shirt along with our signature leather jacket and combat boots. I stare at the small pale figure with red hair and hazel eyes in the mirror miserably because I don't want to do this. Shaking my head I head downstairs keeping a blank look on my face as I walk up to my brother who's the leader of our gang. I then grab the large duffel bag of drugs that's hidden in cookie containers and say in annoyance. "Where's tweedle dee and tweedle dumb at?" My brother gives me a look but calls for Taejon and Chunghee who approach me I heading outside to my motorcycle I securing the bag on the back then go to get on I rolling my eyes when the two older men immediately start arguing the only thing going through my mind is |god these guys are so stupid and annoying| I'm immediately surprised though when my soulmates voice rings through my head. ^Let me guess your brother gave you babysitters again?^ I can't help but smile at his voice the Australian accent calming my nerves. My soulmate and I can communicate telepathically but we can't give certain information like our names and stuff. |Yeah tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. I hate having to deal with them on errands. I gotta go for a second so I can drive.| I quickly start up my bike and start speeding off the two dunderheads following behind. I head to the strip club we're doing a deal with and take a breath before I head inside I internally cringing and feel nauseous when I see all the unclothed women I heading straight for the owner who has a woman in his lap. I set the duffel bag on the table and say firmly. "Money now." The owner hands over wads of cash I quickly counting it only for my eyes to narrow. "You're three hundred short." The man hums before saying in a fake sheepish tone. "Whoops. Veronica darling give the man his money." She smiles at me and moves into my personal bubble before flashing her boobs at me I seeing the money stuffed into her bra. "Will you get out of my face and give me the damn money?" She pouts but moves and hands me the money I recounting then nod in approval. "Alright everything's in order now. Guys let's go." I turn only to grumble when I see them with a woman in each of their laps I grimacing. |God flashy lust filled women are disgusting.| I hear my soulmates voice it sounding amused. ^What brought this hatred on?^ I internally sigh before responding. |One of the errands of the day brought me to a strip club and now I can't get the two dunderheads to leave.| It's silent for a moment before I hear him respond with pure jealousy. ^Don't go leaving me for one of the women now.^ I shake my head in amusement smiling. |Never. Women don't attract me in any way whatsoever despite my brother's multiple attempts at setting me up.| I hear his relieved ^good^ as I make my way over to the two older men I clearing my throat the ladies immediately jumping up at my scary stern look. "Let's go guys." They both whine and pout I rolling my eyes and grab their ears dragging them outside. |God I'm a twenty year old and I'm more mature than two thirty year olds.| I hear my soulmate chuckle and I can't help but smile. "Earth to Lionel. Whatcha smiling about?" I snap out of it and say flatly. "Nothing let's go home." We get on our bikes and start driving home when I notice a new flower shop I seeing a young man out front. A little intrigued I park in my spot back home where l get off and head inside with the others when Taejon calls out for my brother. "Hey boss! There's a new flower shop that opened that's run by a fag." I flinch at the use of that word my brother's face immediately turning into one of disgust. "Well let's go teach him a lesson about being in our neighborhood." I frown the only thing going through my mind right now is |well I officially feel like shit now.| I hear my soulmates concerned tone on the other end. ^Is everything okay?^ I internally sigh. |No. My brother's on one of his tangents.| I quickly speak up saying firmly. "I'm staying home. I'll be upstairs in my room." Before they can say anything I rush upstairs to my room I closing and locking the door before leaning back against it miserably. My brother is extremely homophobic always has been and my soulmate knows this. It's mostly why we've never really had a chance to meet. After hearing the door close downstairs I rush to my closet and dig through it before pulling out my sketchbook and a sewing machine I rushing over to put the sewing machine on the table. I then grab some fabrics and material along with a project I've been working on. I quickly get in the right spot and start working my full concentration on the fabric and working with it. After quite a while I finally finish the last few places that need sewed and pull my latest project into my hands holding it out in front of me it a mens red and black plaid covered leather jacket. I smile in accomplishment then reluctantly put everything away in disappointment. It's always been my dream to be a fashion designer and make my own clothes. But my brother says men making dresses and stuff is for fags and sissy's. ^Do you think we'll ever meet?^ I'm startled by the sudden voice but I answer him. |I honestly don't know. If I ever manage to get away from my brother then maybe.| He doesn't respond and I sigh feeling guilty. Shaking my head I change into pajamas and climb into bed immediately falling asleep.
