Adrien was the new transfer student at Luka's school, there was something strange about him. He always sat alone and never spoke to anyone. Luka thought, Adrien was just shy but when he spoke to him he was very shut off. Luka wondered why he was like this. Maybe, he didn't trust people. Luka told himself, and tried to become friends with Adrien.
About a month later, Luka thought they were pretty good friends, he's got Adrien to crack a smile. To Luka, Adrien's smile could light up any room, all he wanted to do was make him smile. One day, Adrien came to school and avoided everyone, he had a sad expression one that clenched Luka's heart. Adrien even avoided Luka, someone who is practically his best friend by now. Luka couldn't talk to Adrien at the time so he waited for after class. Even after class, Luka had to chase Adrien to talk to him. He tried so hard to talk to Adrien but he didn't get a response. Luka couldn't take this and grabbed Adrien's hand, dragging him to an empty bathroom.
"Adrien, what happened? You've been avoiding me all day?" Luka said worryingly. Adrien held his head low and didn't answer. Luka shook his head then rubbed his eyes in frustration. Adrien ran his hand through his hair, not realizing his sleeve was slowly sliding down. Luka looked back down at him and noticed a bruise on his wrist what wasn't there before. Luka grabbed Adrien's hand, pulling it up as he quickly pulled down his sleeve. There was a big bruise from his wrist all the way down to where his arm was still covered. Adrien looked up at Luka with shocked eyes. "Adrien, what is this?" He partially yelled. " N-nothing, I just fell." Adrien lied as his lowed his head once again. "Stop lying to me, what else are you hiding, do you have more?" Luka asked as he was about to pull up Adrien's shirt but Adrien's hand stopped him. "Luka please don't involve yourself. I don't want you to get hurt." He said, pulling Luka's hand away from his shirt. "Stop acting like, whatever you're going through, you are going through alone. Haven't you noticed how much i care for you. Haven't you seen all the time and effort i put into trying to make you smile." Luka stopped for a moment and looking for his words. "Adrien... I fell in love with you and it look me so long to realize it but i do love you. Please don't hide this from me. Please tell me and I'll try to help you." Luka said in a soft tone. Adrien began to tear up, "I'm sorry, I'll tell you everything." He said wiping the tears that were already falling.
"Ever since my mom left, my dad has had a drinking problem, and well last night he texted me asking to pick him up at the bar. I was barely able to get in but once i did, accidentally bumped into one of the men there and, um... I got jumped. " Luka's eyes widened. " Does this happen often." Luka asked. "Not really, this person wasn't a regular there so he didn't know me." Adrien answered back, remembering all the times he had to take home his drunk father as the bartender and everyone else gave him a pitiful look. By the time their conversation was about to continue on, the bell ring and they left the bathroom, but little did they know someone unexpected was listening on, on their conversation.
A week later, Luka and Adrien patched up their relationship, and this time actually had a relationship but private. Adrien knew now if there was a problem he could always depend on Luka so he did. In the morning, they walked to school together chatting about anything and everything. Once in the school build, there was the normal chattering and whispering about gossip but it was strange that it seemed a little more directed towards them. Luka ignored it and grabbed the weekly school paper. He leaned against the wall as Adrien told him he was going to run off the the bathroom. Luka nodded as Adrien left. Luka then, flipped through the paper, he read an article that stood out to him. The title was 'Adrien Ageste abused?!? LukaAdrien real?!?' " What the f*ck?" Whispered to himself as he continued reading.
Everything said in the article was what they talked about last week but thing thst was different was part about the bar, it was, his father threw a glass bottle at him and kicked him until he passed out. He read til' he hit the bottom or the page. "Nathaniel." He whispered, reading the name of the person who wrote the article. He clenched the paper in his hand and ran down the hall to find Adrien. Down the hall, Adrien was in the bathroom. He was washing his hands when a couple a jocks walked into the bathroom. One hit the other's chest and smirk. " Look who it is, Broddie. It's the school's gay boy. Fresh out of the closet. " He snickered. He walked over to the sink and slammed his hands onto the counter, making Adrien jump. " Hey gay boy." The jock said. Adrien looked up at him a bit confused then shook his head and tried to leave but the jock pushed him back. "I don't think so, gaydrian." Adrian looked at the hand on his chest then up at the jock, "Huh?" He said confused. " You're not leaving til' we've had our fun." He said as the other jock took out his phone and started to recored. The jock held Adrian's hands above his head as he used his other hand to try and unbutton Adrian's shirt. "S-stop!' He yelled as he tried to break his hands free.
Suddenly, the bathroom door stung open and at just a blink of an eye, punches were thrown and what felt like mere seconds Luka threw his jacket over Adrian and they ran out. Leaving the school building, getting to Luka's house. They got inside and immediately sunk down into the couch. Luka turned to Adrian as he was still catching his breath. "I have no idea, what wad going down that bathroom but it didn't look like shitting." Luka said, closing his eyes. Adrian chuckled, "Yeah, it definitely wasn't pooping." Adrian said, kissing Luka's cheek. "Can we keep what happened a secret?"
