Summary: AU. Instead of Shuichi Shindou there is Hiroshi Nakano. When there's nothing going your way it's hard to believe one person can change it all. Hiro doesn't have the best of lives. His boyfriend is a complete jerk, He suffers from abuse at home and he feels like he doesn't belong at all. But can a golden-eyed stranger be his key to salvation or his way deeper into hell.


Chapter 1:From black, to blue, to purple.

I never quite understood how him and me got together.

Taki Aizawa and I were total opposites. Taki was known as a type of bad ass at our school and I was known as the 'over achiever.'

Thing is though I only got good grades because its what was expected of me and If I don't... well that's another story.

" Just relax...it'll feel good I promise."

I shuddered when his warm lips touched my skin but not from pleasure only because it triggered everything else. I quickly placed my hands on his chest.

" Taki I-"

He grabbed my hands and placed them above my head. His Dark Black eyes glared down at me.

" Shut up. Damn it I'm getting tired of this. You tell me you love me and-"

" I do love you."

I did love Taki because besides Shuichi, Taki was the only person I had.

" Good."

His Black eyes and dark hair disappeared once again as he began kissing down my chest. I arched my back and shuddered again as his fingers touched my skin.

" I'll be gentle I promise."

Somehow I could feel the smile on his lips. Knowing Taki being gentle was something he didn't know how to be.

I looked up at the ceiling of his room, listened to his whispered words, felt when he slid between my thighs...

" This won't hurt I promise."

I just closed my eyes and tried to...


Dream.

Sometimes I wished the pain were all a dream. There was never a moment that I didn't know pain. Whether it be emotional or physical it didn't matter.

To me it seemed as if the world was always moving at a faster pace than me. Like right now... my body ached and my head was spinning out of control.

" I told you to be home by 6:00. It is now 8:15."

I took a shaky breath in and winced as the air passed now broken ribs.

Blood dripped slowly from my bruised lip and onto the wooden floor of my room.

I looked at the steel toe boots in front of me before I closed my eyes.

" Where you with that damn boy again?"

I didn't answer him because of my bruised lip. So he grabbed my hair and made me look into blue eyes... so much like my own.

" I asked you a damn question."

So I shook my head once and watched as a smile lit up his face. He let me go then and I watched helplessly as his fingers reached towards his belt.

" Dad don't."

But it was barely above a whisper and it wouldn't matter if he heard me anyway because it wasn't like he would stop.

Three... I heard the footsteps coming closer.

Two... I felt the touch of his fingertips caress my cheeks...


"One."

" Hiro you must be joking. You only want one scoop of ice cream? I'm paying you know."

I looked at the guy behind the counter ignoring Shuichi's complaints.

" Just one scoop of vanilla please."

Shuichi huffed beside me but didn't say anything else about the matter.

" I'll have three scoops of strawberry ice cream please."

" Coming right up."

I looked at Shuichi with wide blue eyes and he looked at me with innocent eyes of purple.

" What?" he asked.

" Three scoops? Shuichi where the hell does all this food go?"

Shuichi paid for our ice cream cones and we grabbed the treats before heading to the outside tables.

" Who knows? Maybe I've just got a fast metabolism."

I shook my head in disbelief and slid in one of the seats.

" So care to tell me why you missed a whole week of school?"

I sighed before looking away from Shuichi.

People past us quickly on the sidewalk and I had that feeling again as If I were going at the wrong pace.

" I told you I was sick."

A cool drip of the ice cream slid down my arm and I turned my attention back to the ice cream and began to lick it.

" Hiro I may act like a total idiot at times but trust me I'm not stupid. I just wish you'd talk to me about what's going on."

I looked at Shuichi and felt such a strong surge of emotion I had to look away.

" I told you Shu I was sick. You need to stop worrying so much you know. It's not good for your health."

Thankfully Shuichi just shrugged his shoulders and began eating his ice cream.

" So when's Yuji coming home?"

Yuji was my brother who graduated high school not to long ago and went on to study becoming a doctor in college. At home my father always compares me to him... I'm the least favorite child while he's the golden star. That's why I'm pushed to do well in school or else.

" Not sure really. I haven't heard from him in a while Shu. By the way how are you and Ryuichi doing?"

Shuichi smiled then and looked at me before looking away.

"It's going...great. I'm supposed to meet him at the park soon."

I smiled too and looked down at the table. Ryuichi and Shuichi was truly a beautiful couple. They were alike in so many ways. It was like they balanced each other out perfectly.

We sat there for a couple more minutes and I found my eyes wondering back over to the busy streets of Tokyo again.

This time though someone quite different caught my eye.

You know that feeling you get when you see something amazingly beautiful for the first time?

The way you stare in wonder, the way your heart starts to beat quickly and your hands get real clammy?

Well that's the way I felt when I saw him for the first time.

"Hiro are you even listening to me?"

In all honesty I hadn't heard a word Shuichi had been saying if any and I still couldn't comprehend a word he was saying.

Golden eyes.

That's what I was seeing... the only things I was aware of moving towards me.

" Hiro?"

I looked away from this stranger's eyes, looked at light pink lips, moved back to golden strands of hair.

A cigarette hung lifelessly between his lips and I watched as he reached up, took the cigarette from his mouth and blew the smoke in the air...his eyes completely locked onto mine.

Before I knew it he had passed our table and was continuing down the sidewalk. My eyes continued to follow him and when I realized what I was doing I quickly looked away.

Shuichi tsked quietly with a smile on his face before biting into his ice cream cone. I knew I was blushing scarlet and without warning I picked up my backpack and began to leave.

"Call me later Hiro."

I waved goodbye and left the shop without a backwards glance.


I lay in bed that night, my thoughts churning in my head. I listened closely as my fathers' footsteps made their way past my room.

In the darkness I listened to the noises beyond my bedroom window, listened to the way I breathed in and out, listened to the way my heart beat in my chest.

Not because I was thinking of black or blue or purple.

But my heart raced because of gold...

Those dangerous golden eyes and what I saw behind them.
