Lucario's POV
Well... not much has happened between y/n and me since we kissed. Not only that but he seems a little... off. He seems nervous and troubled about something. But everytime I ask he avoids the subject. I'm really starting to get worried for him. He's such a nice person and seeing him like this just doesn't feel right. Like a bird who has stopped singing. I needed to help him to get rid of what is holding him down. The thing is, I don't know how to do it. Ok I'll start by trying to get him to open up by having a conversation about his favorite book. Maybe that'll work. I walk down to his library and it's HUGE. Huge isn't a big enough word to describe it.

He told me it was under the house in case a hurricane ripped the house from the ground it wouldn't take his books

He told me it was under the house in case a hurricane ripped the house from the ground it wouldn't take his books. I swear he's just so adorable. So the search for a copy of his favorite book began. <This is gonna suck> I thought to myself. I went through shelves over shelves over shelves until, 4 hours and 6 auto-determination chants later I found a copy. You know for it being his favorite book he sure doesn't have that many copies of it. I went back upstairs sat on the couch and started reading it. Wow he wasn't kidding it's nothing short from awesome. After i finished reading said book I put it on the table and went to look for y/n. I found him in his room with a small (f/c) disc player in his hands, staring at it.
"Hey y/n?"
He looked at me and took a minute to answer.
"Yes Lucario?" He answered looking at me.
"Well... um... I just read that book you told me about." I said smiling and holding out the book.
"Really?!" He asked, his eyes lighting up and getting excited.
"Yeah, wanna talk about it?"
"Abso-freaking-lutely"
We comented on the book for a couple of hours until I tried to steadily and stealthily switch the subject to him. Bad thing is he noticed and quickly asked if we could go downstairs to grab something to eat and the conversation died there. Dammit!
The day ended and I had done 0 progress in helping y/n. I had to think of something.
~The next morning~
I woke up, rubbed my eyes, yawned, and started thinking about y/n. How can I get him to open up? The only time he's opened up was in the hospital and two days ago... AHA! Yes, music, that should work. I walked to where all the cds and vinyls and started looking. Since I didn't know most of this music, I grabbed a pair of headphones and plugged them into a player. I proceeded to listen to every disc and vinyl in order. Jeez some of these songs have some... pretty questionable themes. It took quite some time but I found one that seemed pretty nice. I unplugged  the headphones and plugged in the speakers. I went to get y/n and found him once more in his room, laying on his bed, staring blankly. I then took his hand saying nothing and took him to the record room.
"Lucario?! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" He asked confused
I then put the cd in the player and picked the song.

I took his hand and started to slowly lead the dance. He seemed hesitant at first but then started getting into it. Once the song was over I started leaning closer to his face . At first he started leaning in too but he then pushed me away. He stopped looking at me and quickly stormed off to his room. I tried catching up with him but ge locked his door before I could reac him. I used my aura to sense him inside his room and felt his sadness. I had to do something. I had to get him to open up, but, how? I went back to my room to think for a couple of hours until I got an idea. But it will have to be tomorrow, that way it will be perfectly planned.
~the next day~
Ok let's do this! Now to get y/n.
I arrived at his room and knocked but didn't get an answer. I looked inside but he wasn't there... or was he? I used my aura to try and sense him and found him asleep inside his closet. What was he doing in there? I slowly caress his cheek until he wakes up.
"Good morning, sleepy head" I said looking at those beautiful E/c eyes.
"Lucario? What are you doing in my room?" He asked a little weirded out
"Better question. What are YOU doing sleeping inside your closet?"
"What are you ta-" He the realized where he was and blushed a little.
"C'mon, get dressed. I want to eat breakfast out today. And i know just the place." I said while walking out of his room to let him do so. When he walked out. He was wearing the cutest F/c hoodie with a pattern from f/vg and some grey nearly-skin-tight jeans.
"You look adorable!" I said while he blushed.
"Shall we go?" I said while opening the front door
He walked out quietly until we arrived at the place we wanted. Fortunately this place allowed both people and pokemon to eat there. So we walked inside and a waitress welcomed us.
"Good morning you two. *wink* Do you have a reservation?"
"Yeah for y/n?"
"Right this way please."
"Would you like a normal table or a booth?" She asked us
"Booth, please" I said while she motioned us to one.
We sat down and she gave us a couple of menus. I sat next to y/n instead of across so the plan would work. When we finished ordering I knew it was time to ask.
"Y/n... I need to know what has been going on. I can't stand this happening. And me doing nothing"
I saw his eyes water and he tried to get up from the table but I hugged him before he could get away.
"Lucario, please, I can't."
"Please y/n I can't stand seeing you like this. The thought of you suffering kills me. You have to let it out instead of letting it consume you. Y/n..."I looked into his eyes "please..."
He the fell back onto his seat and pressed his head on my shoulder, crying. After he was done he took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes
"Ok I'll tell you.."
"Remember what i told you about my family?"
"Y-yeah, something about you never becoming anyone and being a waste of space, right?" I responded
"Well it didn't use to be like that, My mother, my father , my little sister, my little brother and I used to be a happy family. We had good times and we loved each other, or so i thought until... until..." his eyes were watering again.
"Until what?"
He looked at me with a sadistic grin and glare but still full of pain and said "I fell in love and opened my mouth about it."
{Flashback}
I just woke up to my brother yelling at me that breakfast was ready. He always liked to eat when everyone wasi at the table the little rascal. He was always accompanied by a cute little azurill he had rescued. I yawned and streched. I put on some clothes since I usually sleep in my underwear. I checked my phone and saw a morning message from Kevin. Man that boy just hits all my right buttons. I just can't wait to tell mom and dad. Maybe one day he can even live here and we would all be a family! Ok earth to y/n, earth to y/n, we need you to return before you soend all day up there in the moon. I looked out my window and saw the sky was menacingly grey. < Oh no> I thought as I put on my f/c hoodie, which still fitted way to loosely <it sucks when i have to walk to school when it rains. I arrive like the girl from the ring!>
I plugged my phone back next to my bedside lampnto make sure that when i take it to school it has 100% charge. I walked down stairs to see my dad reading today's newspaper, my mother finishing cooking breakfast, my brother with his azurill to his side and lastly my cute sister reading a book.
"Good morning everyone" I said walking down the last steps
"Good morning son" said my parents in unison.
"Good morning sleepy head" said my brother
"Good morning brother" said my sister
I sat down and mom served breakfast.
Halfway through it I decided it was time.
"Well I just have to say it. Everyone I'm finalky and for the first time in a relationship" Everyone looked at me.
"That's my boy!" Said my dad
"I'm so glad for you brother!" Said my sister
My brother whispered something in azurill's ear and they both snickered.
"And who is the lucky girl?" Asked my mom
"Well mom it's not like that. You see he is a b-" I was cut off by the oven timer sounding. Probably one of my brother's pranks.
"I'm sorry dearie, I didn't quite catch that.
"I said he is a boy" Then everything went quiet. I wondered why for a while but then I felt it. A hot pain on my cheek and the ground coming closer and closer. My dad had hit me so hard he had knocked me off my chair.
"Oh is that right? Faggot!" He said as he emptied his cup of boiling hot coffee on me. I screamed as I felt it against my skin.
"Dad what are you doing?" Yelled my brother and sister almost in unison.
I looked up to him from the floor, terrified, and backed away quickly.
"To your bedroom you two!" My mom said to my brothers "Your father is gonna deal with this pest"
My dad stood up and grabbed me by the collar "You disgusting good for nothing!" He said as he threw me to the drawing room. I hit the wall and felt the vase that we kept in there fall on my head.
"You can forget about school, this house and everything else faggot" my dad said walking towards me.
"But without it how will I get a job?" I asked whimpering.
"A job? Who would want to hire a stupid faggot like you?" My dad said kicking me in the ribs.
"And to think that you've been around mychikdren so much! What if you had infected them?!" My mom said streching her head from behind dad's shoulder.
"There's only one way to deal with pests like you." He grabbed my by the collar and motioned mom to open the door.
"B-but I love you." I said to them.
"Who would love a faggot like you? You're disgusting." He said as he kicked me out the door. I hit the hard cold concrete.
"And don't you dare come back." My dad shouted as he slammed the door shut.
I just layed there in utter disbelief and pain. My head hurt, my throat burned, my chest felt heavy and my cheek hurt. I felt raindrops falling on me.
After a little while I got up from the ground and looked up at the upper windows to see something I would've never wanted to see. My brother and sister with looks of terror looking at me. I couldn't help but cry. I fell on my knees and cried and cried until I felt something else. A huge wave of pure rage that was consuming me. I got up once more clenching my fists. I turned to the car which we had parked on the driveway. I punched the front window so hard that it shattered, but die to the rain the sound was muffled. I turned to look for the last time to the place I once called home and walked the other way.

*Sigh* I-I'm not sure about this chapter. I simply had to make it but i've half a mind to not post it. But i needed to address this issue. As someone who has experienced this first-hand (except being kicked out) I must say that I can't understand why families of all people do this. A family should be a group of people who you can rely on and be open with. The fact that they can turn on you like that for something as stupid as the gender of the one you love is unacceptable. Also in general, the hatred towards someone for something they cannot control is something I just can't understand. From ethnicity, sexual orientation, to even how long your hair is?! Seriously?! Why do people just hate, for no reason? Why shoukd it matter to them who SOMEONE ELSE likes.
*sigh* I'm sorry if now I look like a me monster but this is serious.
Well... I guess that's it. I'm sorry for whining at the end there.
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter, I guess.
Bye-bye
