Honesty II

Warning: This story contains strong shonen ai. If you have a problem reading boy/boy love, then I would suggest that you turn back now. While this story is good, it just is not the story for you. However, if you like shonen ai, continue on and enjoy. ^_^ Also, this fic features rape, so you are warned.

Author Note: This fic is the follow up to "Honesty", so in order to understand much of what is referred to here, it might be best for you to read that one first if you have not already.

Note to Angst fans: Last time you missed out. This time… :p

Thank You to my little sister and Melanie for betaing this. I know Izure and would have been my beta if she could, but computer problems have meant she could not, and the same can be said for my fourth beta Sammel. Damned computers…

Couplings to be seen: Mainly Kevin/Lee, and featuring Kai/Ray, and Tyson/Max, plus more!

Authors Note: This fic continues to explore writing shonen ai for me. I'm hoping that I am getting better at this, but I'll let you be the judge. Big thumbs up to Igatona for his comments on the Redblade Forums regarding to homosexual relationships and the way they are portrayed in fan fiction. Some of your comments truly were a wakeup call, though you probably didn't realize it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story, nor do I own Beyblade.

And let it begin…

Prologue

He looked up at the sound of the light footstep, smiling faintly before returning his attention to what he was doing. "Hi Mariah."

"Hi Kevin." She closed the door behind her, moving further into the room and coming to peer over his shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"School project, believe it or not."

Mariah raised her eyebrows. "Kevin Ki, doing homework?"

He chuckled. "Yeah. I've almost finished it too. Just got to stick a couple of things down, and that's it."

"I'm impressed." Mariah reached up and pulled his hair free of its tie, running her fingers through it and causing him to roll his eyes.

"You know I don't like people touching the hair, Mountain Cat."

"Why else do you think I do it, Monkey." She leant down, pressing her lips to his neck and feeling him stiffen. "Want to help me with my own research?"

Violet eyes were wide as they shot toward her. "What… did you have in mind?"

She smiled at him, stepping away and running her hands through her own loose hair. "Don't you ever get sick of being the only guy at school without a girlfriend."

"Not really. I'm used to it."

"But you've never been kissed."

He frowned. "No, I haven't."

Mariah stepped toward him, pressing her lips to his and causing his eyes to widen further. "Now you have."

He blinked. "Mar? What are you doing?"

"Research." She ran her hands through his hair, but he didn't seem to notice. "I've always wondered if someone as small as you… was capable of making love."

Kevin stared at her. "Excuse me? Are you saying…"

She shrugged. "You're parents are out, Kev. Your brother is over at the Yin's working with Shina on their school project. No one will hear us."

He continued to stare at her. "If this is a joke, Mar, it's not funny."

"No joke, Kev." She kissed him again. "Just this once, wouldn't you like to feel what the other guys feel? Please?"

He watched her face, seeing that she meant every word. "Yeah. Sure."

Mariah reached out and caught his hand, pulling him from the chair and toward the bed, drawing him up onto it with her. She pressed her lips to his, kissing him deep, her fingers playing at his belt and loosening his tunic.

Kevin was still in a state of shock, his shock heightening as she sat back and removed her top, tossing it onto the floor and revealing her pale breasts. She spotted his dumbfounded look and reach out, taking one of his hands in hers and guiding it up onto one of the mounds, hearing him intake sharply at the contact.

Within moments Mariah had work his tunic off with expert ease, tossing it to the ground beside her own, trailing kisses down his neck and latching her fingers into the waistband of his pants, pulling them down.

Kevin was startled by how fast this was going, his mind starting to unfreeze ever so slowly as Mariah removed her own pants, lying back on the bed and pulling him down on top of her, kissing him fiercely. As she wrapped her legs around him, encouraging him to make the plunge, an alarm flashed to life in his mind.

"No!" He pulled himself up, gasping. "No, we can't. It's wrong."

She frowned. "Kevin, please-"

"Sorry, Mariah. I just can't. It's not right."

He went to move away, but Mariah was faster, reaching up to catch him by the shoulders and flip him over onto his back, straddling him.

"Mariah, don't!"

She didn't listen, lowering herself onto him, reaching forward to place a hand over his mouth and silence any further protest, taking him within, claiming him. Tears streaked his cheeks as he tried to get free but was trapped firmly beneath. He could only wait for her to finish, to have her way with him.

She threw back her head as she came, gasping as she felt him erupt within her. Only then did she stop, leaning down to kiss him gently before dressing herself and leaving him lying on the bed, curled up in a ball, sobbing…

~~~~*~~~~

Violet eyes flew open as he awoke to find himself lying on his side covered in a fine cold sweat. Blinking, he tried to force himself to control his breathing, eyes darting around and taking in his surroundings, lit up by the moonlight that peaked around the edges of the curtains. Hotel room, a long way from his bedroom in the village.

A long way from her.

He heard a movement behind him, strong arms sliding around him and drawing him back against a well-toned chest, the other nuzzling his neck. "What is it?"

He blew out a long breath. "It's nothing, Lee. Go back to sleep."

"Not until you tell me what's wrong, Kev."

"Just a dream."

He heard the other grunt. "That infamous dream again, hm?"

Kevin smiled faintly. "More a memory."

"Of what?"

The corner of his eye twitched. "Of… of what she did to me."

For a moment there was silence, Lee contemplating what he had said. "That was just over a year ago, Kevin. You said you forgave her."

"To say somethin' and to mean it are completely different things." Kevin squeezed his eyes closed. "I can still see it, feel her, smell her, taste her. How can I forgive her after that?"

"Kev…"

"She raped me, Lee." Kevin looked back, meeting those concerned orange-gold eyes. "I can't forget that, no matter how hard I try. It haunts me. Who cares if the baby didn't turn out to be mine and that I didn't get stuck marrying her. She still did that to me. Chose to do that to me."

"She said sorry."

"It's not enough. Nothing she can do or say will ever be enough."

Lee reached up and brushed the hair back from Kevin's face, the hair Kevin had decided to grow long for a then unknown reason, but Lee now knew it was because of what had occurred with Mariah. "We're going to see them in a few weeks, Monkey. Mariah and Gary will be waiting for us to arrive at the training centre in China. And she'll probably have Honesty with her."

Kevin nodded, remember the little girl with golden eyes and dark hair: Mariah's daughter. "I like Honesty, and I don't hold anything against her. It's Mariah I have the problem with."

Lee tightened his arms around him, kissing his neck. "You shouldn't dwell on the past, Kev. You've got to move on, look to the future. You've got a job, we've got a championship to win…" He smiled. "You've got me."

Kevin chuckled, reaching back to touch Lee's face. "That's most important one right there."

Lee grinned, tilting Kevin's head back and pressing his lips down on the younger teens hard, the silence filled with the sound of the passionate kisses, Kevin twisting in Lee's arms to bring him face to face, hands gliding over Lee's chest and up around his neck.

When they pulled apart, they did so breathless, Lee resting his forehead against his soulmates. "I love you."

Kevin smiled, trailing his fingers along Lee's jawbone. "I love you too."

You've got to feel sorry for Kevin. *Hugs him*

Lee: Hey! Hand's off my property!

Kevin: What do you mean by 'your property'?

Lee: -_-;;
