'Look, I'm finding a way to be happy and I'm happy to be with you, but if I can't be happy with you, I will find a way to be happy without you.'
The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch

1 year before the civil war.

The Shurley family are powerful, everyone knows that.

From the Father to the children, the Shurleys hold important positions in the government, in the military, in the economy and other aspects, even in the religion.

The Father, main rule of the family, whose name is Chuck Shurley, is the head of the Conservative Parliament. Chuck has been at the seat for over 20 years, so probably, no one doesn't know about him.

Chuck has four oldest sons. Michael, the big brother, the Commander in Chief of National Military, best known for his strict iron rule lower people and faithful obedience towards his Father. Lucifer, the second son, the most talented child of Chuck, who follows his Father's steps into the political world, however, people call him as 'The Snake' because eventhough his speeches are terribly convincing, there are hints of racism, violence and warring terms in them. Rafael, the third of the eldest sons, who is the head of the largest international enterprise of the world, Rafael himself also owns a high-standard hospital. And the last eldest child is Gabriel, not so well-known and success like his brothers, this guy is the most lively of all four, he graduated as valedictory of an Art and Music University but he gets his carrier as a messenger, simply because he doesn't like 'unnecessary problems' since 'the life is already too problematic'.

Chuck also has a lot other younger children. So much that can't be listed here. Most famous of the later group are Castiel Shurley, Balthazar Shurley and Annael Shurley. Castiel is a young doctor in psychology, who gets at least 5 patients per day. Balthazar is a guitarist who owns a large fan group and his songs are always listed at top of the surveys, and he also gets along with Gabriel. And Anna is the principal of the number one university of the country.

However, what people knows of the Shurleys are just the surface of the deep lake. Inside this family, unending conflicts, power struggles and secrets keep on running in the deep water.

14 years ago.

Gabriel Shurley was still an eight-year-old boy who had great problem in trying to follow his brothers' success. His eldest bro, Michael always wanted him to grow up strong with the responsibility of a soldier towards their Father and their family. Lucifer, his second older brother, on the other hand, wanted him to start learning how to get attentions from the other people and use his tongue to convince people to follow him so he can go on political carrier. Rafael, on another hand, wanted him to study economy to prepare for the future as an entrepreneur. Gabriel, on his own hand, wanted none of those. Military service was too strict for an energetic boy like him and he could say he hated it publicly. Politic? Nah, he didn't want to keep being stressed with national problem and get targeted for assassination attempts. And economy? Oh please, that wass the most boring thing he has ever known. Gabriel knew too well what he was good at: drawing, painting, playing music, setting pranks and tricks and eating sweet. But no matter what he wanted, he ended up in working with the pile of lessons and homework from his three big brothers.

Gabriel was the youngest and smallest one of the four. Though that is a huge disadvantage, he was not easily looked down on. Michael had to admit that Gabriel had his wit, especially for revenging pranks. While the eldest son usually had his feet stuck to the shoes by superglue, Lucifer frequently had his paperwork messed all over with chocolate, candy wrappers and crayons, Rafael often slipped his walk by unexpected banana peels or small pools of water in the house. When got in those situations, the big brothers would angrily go to find the little imp for punishment and only Lucifer had ever successed in it.

When Gabriel was eight, Lucifer was eighteen. Though Gabriel hardly got along with Michael or Rafael, he did follow Lucifer when Lucifer didn't lecture him with politic subjects. The two got along quite well. Lucifer bought sweets and drawing tools for Gabriel and in return, Gabriel let Lucifer join in most of the pranking plans with him, unless that prank was for Lucifer. Gabriel called Lucifer as Luce, Lou or Lucy, Lucifer called Gabriel as Gabe for intimate relationship.

Their relationship continued to grow then blossomed into a further form than just brotherhood when Gabriel grew to his teenage. By that time, Luce had got his foot in the Conservative Parliament, he was a young politician rising to power. Still, Lucifer took Gabriel to school and took him home everyday no matter how busy he was. Gabriel was happy to have his brother along with him. When Gabriel got his own room, his room was next to Luce's.

One day, Luce came home drunk after a meeting party, stumbling around the house dizzily to find his way to his room. He pushed the door open, the sweet smell of chocolate and honey attacked his nose. He tried to remember if someone had brought a full candy shop into his room. Until he caught sight of the huge lump on his bed. Or was it his bed at all? He slowly locked the door then carefully stepped over the bed. There was slight snoring sound and Lucifer looked closer, even in his drunkenness, he could clearly make out who was on the bed. Only one person in this house was addicted to candy enough to turn the room into a candy shop. Lucifer huffed and was about to leave when an erotically arousing sound rose from the bed. Luce halted immediately and turned round. He found that Gabriel had rolled over, laying in a more erotic way than the sound he gave out. Lucifer licked his lips, the room suddenly got hot, too hot that he had to tug at his tie to get some fresh air. The way Gabriel laid with his ass up, legs doubling up like that he was kneeling was so tempting. Luce began to strip himself off the clothes he was wearing. He wondered how Gabriel's body would look like if he got rid of those black boxers and that white cotton shirt. He then strode over to his little brother and sat down on the side of the bed.

...

The younger one stirred as he felt an alien presence on the bed's side. He mumbled drowsily and was about to roll on his back when a hand grabbed the back of his neck, preventing him from moving. His body tensed hard in panic and even got more panic when soft, hot lips brushed as again his earlobe. This situation was not good... Definitely not good! He terrifiedly started thrashing against the one pinning him to no avail. When his fear got to the edge of screaming, a soft voice purred into his ear.

"Ease yourself, little bro... It will be okay..." The other man spoke tenderly.

"Luce...?" Gabriel gasped hard, feeling Lucifer's hand rubbing his wrist gently. This was so wrong.

"Hush Gabe." His older brother now had fully climbed over him. "I've got you now... There is nothing to be scared..."

Gabriel moaned into the pillow when Lucifer grabbed both his wrists with one hand, holding them above his head. The other hand of Luce quickly tugged his boxer pants down, driving him to complete panic.

"Luce, please! Please don't... Please..." He started to beg and whimper in fear when his brother peeled his shirt up, revealing his back. He felt sick, really sick at the vivid image of what would happen came to his mind.

For a moment, there was no respond. Gabriel held his breath, hoping that would be enough to stop Luce.

"You want to play hard, little bro?" Lucifer whispered into his ear. "I know you have always wanted this... Admit it, you cannot tell lie..."

Gabriel was stunned. That isn't what I wanted! This is sick! Stop it, Luce! Stop it! Please!

But Lucifer wouldn't talk anymore. He only took what he wanted. Roughly and uncaringly.

...

At first, it was hard to accept. Gabriel had thought their relationship would come to an end after that night. But it didn't. Lucifer came to his room even more frequently and Gabriel was surprised to find that he himself became less and less offensive against that. Gabriel was, after all, a young boy who just wanted to be treasured. And his big brother was the one who gave him that pleasure. Sometimes, he admitted, he craved for the touch of Luce's caroused fingers on his body.

They went on like that thorough Gabe's high school, their contact and sex time got more and more intimate.

Until one day Michael caught sight of Luce fucking Gabe in the warehouse. That was the turning point where everything started falling apart with no brake to pull.

Luce became less close towards Gabriel, and the younger one knew that. They no longer got to the sexual part at night. Lucifer avoided meeting with him anytime, except the unavoidable time. Gabriel felt sad. He didn't know what he did wrong. Lucifer kept giving him a cold shoulder while Michael and Rafael looked at him with half of their eyes. Rafael one day tell him that he was such a slutty little bitch for Lucifer and when Luce got borred with him, he was simply thrown into the trashbin. Gabriel had thought that the sky had fallen on him that day but he soon realised that, nothing and one had changed, only he was the stupid one.

So Gabe shook off the old memory of being with Luce to start his own life though the painful and nasty scar in his heart would never be healed.

4 years ago

Father arranged Gabriel to go study abroad in a famous Art and Music University in Germany. And Luce was totally not happy about that.

He had come yelling at Michael for being too nosy with people's problems. He had thrown almost everything in his room all over the day his little brother got to go to the airport. The time Gabriel stepped down the plane, Lucifer had fallen into a complete emotion breakdown.

He had tried calling and messaging to his baby brother, only to find that Gabriel had changed his phone number and his email. He had also tried writing letter to Gabe but none of his letters was replied.

He knew it was his fault that Gabriel left to study abroad. And he knew that Gabriel knew it too.

...

Receiving Luce's letters wasn't what Gabriel could have expected. He had thought that Luce had fed up with him, that now Luce was with a lot of beautiful women around, that to Luce he no longer meant anything.

'I love you, Baby brother.'

'I missed you a lot.'

'Please Gabe, forgive me. I am sorry for acting cold towards you all those years.'

He had burst into tears more than he thought he had. Every night, he felt his heart ached a little bit more. He had thought that he would forget Lucifer and everything that related to his big bro.

He couldn't.

...

"Gabriel has graduated earlier than expected. His study requires seven years, yet he graduates at his third year." He heard Balthazar talking to Castiel about Gabriel.

It'd been three years since, Gabe left. Three fucking damned long years.

"He will arrive home tomorrow." Balthazar continued.

"Really? That's fast! He must be eager to return home." Castiel cheerfully replied.

"Well, if you graduated early as a valedictorian, you will obviously want to come home soon." Balthazar chuckled.

Becoming a valedictorian and graduating at third year, Gabriel, really? What have you become?

Lucifer was still so confused at the news about his baby brother when Michael went over to him.

"Brother, Father requires you in his room." The cold and emotionless voice from the biggest brother came to his ears.

"I got it." Lucifer turned round, not facing Michael and walked over to Father's room.

It was another turning point that everything fell apart. Again.

When Gabriel returned home, the family was a mess. There were quarrelings, yelling and fighting all over the manor. Brothers and sisters slapping at each other's face, cursing each other on their own belief. Racism and war or equality and peace.

At least that Balthy and Cas were still on neutral side.

"What the heck is going on?" Gabriel frustratedly watched his family divided into two. "I just left home three years and now everything becomes this chaos?"

"It's Lucifer and Michael... Lucifer has gone against Dad's will and Michael just can't stand it. They are fighting every day..." Balthazar resumed the story for him. "Father has never wanted racism among people. But Lucy seems to be fond of it so much..."

"I need to talk to Luce..." Gabriel groaned and went to find Lucifer.

...

It didn't end well.

Lucifer didn't even listen. He punched at Gabriel's face the moment Gabriel spoke up about stopping the family conflict with Michael. Gabriel believed that his nose must have been broken after that strike.

"Don't tell me about stopping the conflict, Gabriel..." Lucifer gritted his teeth, slamming Gabriel to the wall. "You were the one who started it..."

Gabriel gasped. "I am the one who started it? Fuck up, Luce! You are the one that flipped the table, that gave me so much then ripped everything from me ruthlessly just because you were afraid that everyone would become less interested in you when they know that you are gay and have sex with your own brother! I hate you, you Mother Fucker Proudy Dick!" He spat at his brother, struggling to get free of Lucifer's grip before punching him right in the eye.

Lucifer growled in pain and backed off, palming his left eye.

"Now I know why people hate you... You only do as you like, you care nothing about the others!" Gabe hisses. "You truly a great big bag of dick!"

With that last sentence, the younger brother stormed out of the room, not even look back at the older one, who was on the verge of tears.

Gabriel hardly came home. He always went on deliveries or spent times joining with Balthazar's band or traveled far to get nice sceneries for drawing or photographing.

Lucifer spent most of his time working with his Party, trying to put pressure on the Conservative Parliament, rising fund for his own debate, making plan to take over the Government.

One night, Gabriel came home, as drunk as a stupor and smelled of the women he met in the bars. It wasn't strange that he came home late, but it was strange that he drank alcohol and went with street women. He made his way to his room with Balthazar's help, almost made both of them fall off the stairs.

When Gabriel was set in the bed, Balthazar sighed and got to go back to his room. He wondered what had driven the cheerful chubby blond guy to this state. It was not good at all. Besides, he hadn't seen Lucifer for the whole day, which seemed to be wrong.

Balthazar walked past Father's room and eavesdropped an unexpected conversation.

"You are not allowed to bear the name of this family anymore, Lucifer. Your actions are intolerable." Chuck's voice rose, angrily and firmly.

"But Father! They are lower than us! They don't deserve our love and service!" Lucifer replied in disdain. "I don't understand!"

"That's why you cannot live in this family any longer." Chuck strictly emphasized. "You have 12 hours to pick up your luggage."

Balthazar gasped. Is that an ultimatum? Was this already known by Gabriel?

Lucifer stormed out the room like a hurricane, knocking Balthazar to the ground violently.

After that night, the conflict began.

Father didn't come home in a beautiful day and he never came home again. He just, disappeared.

Family responsibility fell onto Michael's shoulders, who tried to do his best to protect the Shurleys' reputation. Rafael also helped Michael but the situation kept getting worse when Lucifer rose his own power. While Michael stayed with the Liberation Party, Lucifer started his Skepticism Party. The country was torn apart into two by the force of two Parties. It went worse when the war subject was brought onto the discussion table.

The two Parties started their preparations for the upcoming war. The Shurleys were separated as half of them joined Lucifer. Gabriel tried to stay out of the battlefield by staying in the main city, working on his own artistic projects. However, the war didn't leave him alone.

The main city was bombed by Lucifer's force.

In the end, Gabriel had to step out his own den to join in the line of Michael's military force. He joined the fight, not for Michael or Rafael. He wanted Lucifer to come back.

A/N: Thank you for reading. It's my first attempt at human!AU with Lucifer and Gabriel.
