it's funny how your request sounded like one of the stories I wanted to post a year back. this following one shot is a very shortened version of it.

Michael absolutely hated his life.

He was adopted into a gangster family with only one intention. Of taking over it.

Violence and criminal weren't for him and he left his life the moment he turned eighteen.

Somewhere along the way, he had met an angel.

Luke Hemmings who was first his roommate but with time their relationship turned into a close friendship and soon enough into a romantic relationship.

Michael never loved anyone like he loved Luke and he never wanted to return to his adoptive family or the violent life.

That was until Luke got taken away from him.

Even when he walked out, Michael's adoptive father had his eyes on him at all times. The mob life was dangerous and Michael's life was at risk every time he was outside.

Also, Michael knew how to take care of himself, he had years of training and experience.

But Luke didn't.

His absolutely beautiful, precious, breathtaking person who meant everything to him.

No matter how many times his father would apologize and how many men he sent to help and find his precious boyfriend, it didn't help.

Luke was missing for over twenty hours and the only way he could get him back was his father giving over half of the territory to the kidnappers who belonged to the other mafia.

Michael wasn't sure the head of the mob would give that away if they'd got him.

The only thing that pushed Michael so he didn't give up was the hourly proof he got that his boy was still alive.

On the last tape, they got Michael could see Luke was trying to send him a message. He was a smart one.

He looked so strong while Michael was crumbling under the pressure to get him back.

The older man replayed the video again and again until he finally noticed Luke was wearing the watch that was connected to his phone.

Instead of taking this information to the head of the mafia, his father, Michael went straight to the police.

An hour later he got to hold Luke in his hands.

The kidnappers were arrested and he had one reason more to cut all the connections he had with his past life.

"I'm so sorry baby." Michael apologized for the thousandth time.

After the police brought them home they were under protection until the police would be sure Luke was safe.

Luke crawled under the covers of their bed. The entire thing seemed to break Michael more.

"Please stop. I love you and never forget that." Luke cuddled to his boyfriend to calm him down. "I knew who you were and what baggage you had when we got together. I fell in love with you and with that I accepted all of your past."

"I wish we could just escape this life and be together."

Luke looked at the love of his life. "We can."

"What do you mean?"

"We can sell this apartment and move away, Australia is so small compared to the rest of the world. We can move away anywhere we'd want to and I'm sure the police would help us to get out of the country without being noticed. You can change your last name to mine or we could just change our names altogether. I don't mind or care. All I care about is being with you."

When Michael got to hold the love of his life in his arms and make plans with him he didn't hate his life that much.
