Chapter One - Secrets & Lies

His lips were soft and oh so sweet as he captured them in a kiss. The younger groaned in his lap as he rubbed against him. He knew this was wrong; very wrong but he couldn't help it. The temptation was too strong and the beautiful youth sitting in his lap was worth it. He was well worth the risk of losing his job and possibly going to jail over.

"Hiro," he moaned into his mouth as he slid his hands up his black t-shirt and rubbed the soft tender skin underneath it. "Tenshi," he whispered, calling the younger an angel because he was one. He gently kissed down his jawline and to his neck but fought the urge to mark him since his siblings were bound to notice. He didn't want to cause him any trouble as he just licked at the skin. The youth moaned more loudly as he rubbed against him and the friction felt quite delicious.

The moment was broken as the youth's eyes shot open and looked at the clock on the wall. "Shit," he cursed, loudly as he wormed his way out of his grasp, "I didn't know that it was so late." Hiro's eyes turned to the clock that read eight-thirty. To him it wasn't that late but to his younger lover it was. "They are going to be so mad," he exclaimed, shoving his books into his backpack and straighting his clothes, "gods, I hate it when Kai is mad and I know that Mariam isn't going to be any better."

"You are welcome to stay with me," Hiro offered, pulling the smaller boyback into his lap, "I can make it well worth getting into trouble over." He kissed Brooklyn again and forcefully pushed his tongue into his mouth. Brooklyn moaned but pulled away. "I can't," he protested as he pulled away, "I have to go home. I'll see you Monday." He kissed him before he ran out the door, leaving Hiro quite lonely and unsatisfied.

Brooklyn sprinted from the apartment building with his backpack flapping behind him. "I'm so late," the fifteen-year-old groaned as he ran back to the house he called home, "they are going to be so mad." He didn't get home until after nine and even though it was a Friday night, he knew he would be in trouble. He stood on the porch to catch his breath as the door opened to reveal one of three people he had hoped to avoid. "And where have you been?" the dual-haired man stated as his hands went to his hips and he scowled at the younger, "do you know what time it is?"

"After curfew," Brooklyn replied, "I'm sorry, Kai but I lost track of time. I went to the library and then went over to Garland's. I was studying for a chemistry test and I really lost track of the time. I'm so sorry." Brooklyn crossed his fingers hoping that Kai hadn't caught him in a lie.

"I called Garland's house," Kai growled, stepping aside to allow the younger boy inside, "and his mother said that you weren't there. You have been quite secretive lately and saying I'm sorry is not good enough. This is the third time this week that you have been late. You are grounded, young man." "But Kai," Brooklyn protested as another man stepped into the hall from the kitchen. He recoginized Rei instantly, who smiled weakly at his situation.

Rei was his older brother's boyfriend and also his teammate. Kai was the captain of a beyblade team named the Bladebreakers. He had been with his team for the last ten years since he had been five. He remembered the day vividly since he and his father had watched the finals of the Japanese regionals from the stands. Tala and Mariam had been with them and they had watched him lose to a young upstart named Kinomiya Tyson.

Together with two other teens named Rei and Max, they had become a team that was quite unbeatable in the tournaments. They had dominated the sport for ten years now and it was Kai who had taught him how to beyblade. He remembered the first beyblade that his big brother had given him. It had been similar to the one he used now. When Tala had turned thirteen, he had formed his own team called the Demolition Boyz and they were the second most powerful team in the BBA behind of the Bladebreakers.

Mariam was the only one who didn't beyblade and was in school to become a nurse. "Kai, why don't you leave him alone?" Rei suggested as he held a bowl of popcorn and a drink, "he's only fifteen." "That is the problem," Kai growled, "he is only a child and my responsibility. If he gets into trouble, it will make me look bad. His behavior reflects upon me."

Brooklyn hated if he caused a fight between the two. He liked Rei a lot and hated to cause trouble between them. He always felt inferior to everyone around him like he was worthless. That was why he liked to spend time with Hiro since he made him feel special. His older brother was too protective and had been this way since their father died seven years ago when he had been eight.

"This doesn't concern you, Rei," Kai remarked with a glare that would have silenced anyone else, "you are to go up to your room and stay there until Tala and Mariam get home. We'll take care of you then." Brooklyn lowered his head and went upstairs without protest. He wasn't in the mood to fight and since Kai was older and bigger, he would definitely win. He slammed the door and flopped down on his bed.

Life was so unfair as he stared at the ceiling. Why did everyone have to treat him like some kid? Maybe if their parents were alive, he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Their father had died in a car accident when he was eight. The picture on his dresser was the only thing he had of his mother who had died during childbirth.

He had always felt guilty about living while she had died. He and Tala had took after her with their red hair but Kai and Mariam looked like their father. The phone rang in his room as he picked it up to answer. "Hello," he greeted with a groan, hoping that it wasn't Hiro, who was calling. "Hi Brooke," Garland replied, "did you get into trouble with Kai?"

"Of course," he snapped, "I thought you were suppose to cover for me." "I'm sorry about that," Garland apologized, "but my mother answered the phone before I knew it. So are you grounded?" "Probably," Brooklyn replied, "he sent me to my room until Tala and Mariam come home." "How brutal," Garland remarked with a sigh, "we need to practice for the tournament that is coming up. How are we suppose to compete without our star blader?"

"I'm not that important," Brooklyn scoffed, "you and Mystel are capable of winning it on your own if you can find another blader. You two are strong enough." "Maybe," Garland added, "but you are the one with the natural ability. No one can beat you including Kai and his team and you're younger than them." Brooklyn groaned since his teammates had too much faith in his abilities. Besides, beyblading was a team sport and not a game for individuals.

"Were you with-" Garland began to ask but his friend cut him off. "Not here," Brooklyn reminded, knowing that in this house anyone could hear, "we'll discuss it later." "Well, I'll see you sometime," Garland chuckled, "see ya." "Yeah, I'll see you," Brooklyn murmured as Garland hung up the phone and he was left to ponder his situation yet again. He really liked his best friend but sometimes he doubted even his intentions.

Why did he have to be such a prodigy at everything that he did? Why did he have a natural talent at beyblading? He pulled out a black beyblade from his pocket as he looked at the bit chip that contained his bit beast, Zeus. Sometimes he felt that only Zeus understood him as a warmth eminented from the blade and travelled down his arm. It was a warm and loving feeling, something that he figured only a parent could give.

"You are the only one who understands me, Zeus," he whispered, setting the blade on the dresser, "sometimes I wish I had never been born. Then maybe my mom would still be alive." His depression returned full force and that is why he prefered being with Hiro. He had a way to make all of his problems go away and his touch made him forget about the world around him. He didn't think that their relationship was wrong. He was in love so why would it be perceived as wrong?

Brooklyn knew that his moping wouldn't get anything done as he decided to take a shower. He heard the television from downstairs as he went to the bathroom. It seemed that Rei and Kai were watching a horror movie since that genre was their favorite. They also scared Rei and would always make him cuddle with Kai. He might have been young but he understood matters of the heart.

He showered quickly and dressed in his pajamas before shutting himself in his room. He knew better than to lock the door since Kai would only shred it with his Dranzer blade. He had done it before and would certainly do it again. He was the baby of the family and his brothers and sister would always treat him as such. What he wouldn't do to be the oldest?

He must have fallen asleep while reading his English assignment because the next thing he realized was that three figures were standing over his bed and it was after midnight. Kai was standing by his bed with his arms crossed over his chest and was glaring. Mariam was next to him with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face. Tala's posture was similar to Kai's as he opened his eyes wider and groaned. "Do you have an excuse for your behavior, young man?" Mariam ask as she tapped her foot impatiently, "rules are in place to protect you. Why do you insist on keep breaking them?"

Out of three, Mariam was the best at using the guilt trip. She had been like a mother to him since his birth. She had always been there to protect and watch over him. Her overprotectiveness had only intensified as time had past. It was getting near impossible to reason with her. "I had to cut my night short with Ozuma," she snapped, "to come home and deal with you. I am not very happy at this moment."

"And I had to cut my night short with Bryan," Tala added with a scowl, "so you had better have a good excuse for your actions." "I was just out with a friend," he explained with a yawn, "is that a crime?" "Who was it?" Kai ask, "It wasn't any of the people that you normally hang out with and that comes to only two others. You weren't with Garland or Mystel. Do you have another friend that we don't know about?"

Brooklyn remained silent since he wasn't going to tell Kai about his boyfriend. He didn't even want to think what Kai would do to him. "His silence proves his guilt," Kai growled, "I say we ground him for a month at least or until he tells us where he goes." "But the tournament is coming up," Brooklyn protested, "and Garland needs me." "You should have thought about that before running off," Kai snapped, "we are doing this only to protect you."

"I DON'T NEED YOUR PROTECTION!" Brooklyn snarled as he jumped from the bed, "I am capable of making decisions for myself! You treat me like a child! Hiro never- Oh fuck!" Brooklyn hated getting mad since it made things slip from his mouth. His secret was now exposed to them and this was the confrontation that he had been dreading.

"Hiro?" the three siblings questioned at the same time. "The only Hiro I know is Kinomiya Hiroshi," Tala said, thoughtfully, "Tyson's older brother who teaches gym at your school." He looked at Brooklyn, who was blushing and murmuring profanities under his breath. "You are not seeing him are you?" Tala ask as he refused to answer. His silence proved his guilt as he hung his head.

"What the fuck?" Kai shouted, "Hiro is my age. That is pedophilia and wait until I get my hands on him! I'm going to teach him a lesson that he will never forget!" "Don't you dare!" Brooklyn snarled, "if you lay a hand on him, I'll never speak to you again and I mean it! Just watch and see!"

"Brooklyn, you are fifteen," Mariam stated, "Hiro is twenty-four. That is an age gap of nine years. Don't you see that a relationship between you is wrong? He is your teacher for Kami's sake!" "I don't care!" Brooklyn protested, "Hiro loves me. He tells me so every moment that I spend with him and I love him."

Kai didn't seem to take his threat seriously as he stalked toward the door and on a mission to visit his teammate at his home. Fortunately, he didn't know exactly where Hiro lived and it probably saved his life. "KAI, DON'T!" Brooklyn shouted, trying to get away from Mariam and Tala, "If you go, you will regret it. I will never speak to you again."

Kai's shoulders stiffened from that remark but he stalked right out the door anyway. A few minutes later, they heard the sound of his motorcycle starting and leaving the driveway with its tires squealling in its wake. "Fuck," Brooklyn cursed, pushing both Tala and Mariam aside to reach his phone. "No, you don't," Mariam warned, grabbing his hand and ripping the phone cord from the wall with the other, "You are not warning him. He deserves whatever Kai does to him for touching you."

"If you side with him," Brooklyn warned, "I will never talk to any of you again. I mean it this time. Stay the fuck out of my affairs!" He jerked his wrist out of Mariam's grip as the two left, knowing that whatever they said would not have an effect on his opinion. Brooklyn quickly changed his clothing throwing on a black t-shirt and a pair of cargo pants and grabbed his shoes.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to get out the front door with Tala and Mariam watching so that left only one option. They would never let him go as he grabbed his beyblade and launcher, having the feeling that he would need them before the night was over. He opened the window, climbed out onto the ledge and then jumped onto the tree branch that was near. He took a risk by taking so many chances but he had to get to Hiro's apartment before Kai did. He had to make his oldest brother understand his feelings. Most importantly of all, he had to save the life of the one he loved.
