Killian is a demure and quiet 19 year-old Dubliner who unlike his lust and romance ridden peers -renounces love along with all it's pointless necessities. Killian' hate for all forms of tenderness and warmth is so strong that it leads him to actively reject love in all its' presented guises.

Loving parental attempts from his unstable family, Killian quietly rejects. 
Love from his perceived "jejune" group of friends' Killian violently revokes, even hero worship from his younger brother he despises. To him, love is worthless, futile and not worth investing in nor receiving. He's seen how love has motivated violence, how "love" has crippled his parents marriage, how "love" has made the world go mad. So why should he yearn for something so destructive? when he can just channel that unspent energy into important things like his  socio-economic and political studies, his interests in music, news and his  thoughts of self-loathing. 

Maybe Killian doesn't understand how Love is fundamental and that resisting it doesn't take from the fact that love is necessary no matter its' presented appearance. Or maybe he has and in observing, judged it as no good. 

But how much longer can Killian allow his childhood experiences of "love" to continue to construct his reality?  And what or who will it take for Killian to finally look up and see he is worthy of love, tenderness and warmth?All Rights Reserved

Love Like A Delinquent by 3mmaRawrs

3 years ago, my Step Dad adopted a son. His name was Hunter. For 13 years of his life, Hunter was neglected and abused by his parents. Beaten and raped, Hunter knew nothing good of the world. His Father eventually became a socio-path and shot the Mother. But as he was about to kill Hunter, Police arrived. The Dad shot himself instead. Hunter is now 16 and has been living in my family for 3 years. It's an understatement to say that we don't get along. Hunter is just angry at the world. He drinks and smokes and swears and fights. He kicks me and punches me simply because he's scared. He pushes everyone away. He has flashbacks and nightmares and can't seem to take anymore. Though I know he has reasons for being such an inconsiderate asshole, I still hate him. Our family has now moved to Cyprus. We're only staying for a while, so we just got a small appartment. Bad part about that? It's got 2 rooms. Me and Hunter have to share. At first I hate it. But then over the weeks, I begin to see how broken Hunter Storm really is. He's not just a dick, he's scared. And I'm slowly starting to comfort him through his troubles. We're getting somewhere, but then the worst possible thing happens. But strangley, it's bringing us closer. He's sleeping in my bed, he's crying to me, he's holding my hand. I'm holding him at night, I'm wearing his hoodies, I'm smiling at his touch. Before I even realize it, I'm in love. { Strong Language Throughout! Includes Physical/Sexual Abuse Scenes & Sex Please Don't Read If Bad Language Makes You Cry.

He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger.
