Francis winced as Arthur dabbed his bleeding knuckle with an alcohol pad. Francis listened to Arthur's story; the death of his parents and the abuse he has been suffering for years at the hands of his step brother. Francis tried to keep control of his emotions but lost that battle and proceeded to punch the wall putting him in their current predicament.

"You could have broken your hand you stupid frog wait here I'll get you something for the pain", Arthur stood up and started picking up some of the bottles that lay on the floor. Francis watched him dread and guilt filling up his body and clinging to him like a blanket. 'Mon Dieu I need to get him out of here. He can't stay with this…this monster any more', Francis thought as Arthur reached under the bed and pulled out more pill bottles reading the labels and opening one dispensing a white pill.

"Here take this, it's a painkiller. It's pretty strong so you only need one. Francis… don't give me that look just take it please, I don't need your pity; what happened can't be changed. Now hurry up and take it you have to leave. Aiden will be home soon". Arthur turned away and started to pick up the bottles and syringes placing them on his dresser.

Francis swallowed the pill and walked to Arthur wrapping his arms around his waist, "Arthur come with me", he nuzzled his face into his neck. "Francis I can't. No matter where I go he will find me. I don't think I'll ever be free from him. It's better for you to just forget about me and move on with your life. I am unclean, filthy, spoiled you don't want someone like me. An abused drug addict with a sad pathetic life, I don't want to burden you with my problems", Arthur went to move away from Francis but the hold he had on him wouldn't budge. "Non you are none of that and you are not burdening me with anything I love you, I want to help you please let me", Francis begged his grip tightening.

Arthur took Francis injured hand and squeezed it causing Francis to hiss in pain and release the trapped boy. "No one can help me I learned that a long time ago; people who try to help only make things worse. I don't want to be responsible for another person being hurt because they were just 'trying to help'! Alfred was just 'trying to help' and he- god damn it" Arthur cursed as pills from the bottle he was holding fell to the floor. "Alfred? Who is Alfred?" Francis couldn't help but sound a little jealous as Arthur spoke another man's name with such emotion.

"He was a stupid baseball playing, burger eating, pain in the ass. We went to middle school together and he well I guess you would say had a crush on me. Lord knows why but he kept following me around like a lost puppy. It was…well it was kind of cute and we started to date. I kept all of this a secret from him and I kept him a secret from Aiden. I was kind of happy I could pretend to be normal with someone who liked me but like all things nothing last forever."

Flashback

"You thought you could hide your little boyfriend from me Iggy? That's a no no you've been a very bad boy and you need to be punished", Aiden grinned maliciously taking out a long rope and wrapping it around Arthur's naked body. "Please Aiden just let him go it's my fault please let Alfred go!" Arthur pleaded before being backhanded. "Shut it you brought this upon yourself. You tried to hide this thing from me and he went and saw us together. He was going to go tell the police and break us apart my dear Iggy. I couldn't have that so now he is going to watch and learn that your place is with me forever. Now time to wake sleeping beauty", he nodded at one of the other men in the room. He went and slapped the other boy across the face effectively waking him up.

"Ah! Who the heck hit- Arty?" Alfred said looking at his boyfriend that now lay on a huge bed tied up with rope, tears streaming down his eyes. "I'm sorry Al I'm so sorry", Arthur cried not meeting the other's eyes. "What are you doing to him? Let him go!" Alfred struggled against his bonds but could not break from them. Aiden got off the bed and walked over to Al, "So you're the little shit that thinks he can take my little brother away from me. I'll let you know right now, he is mine always will be nothing you do will ever change that. Let me demonstrate." Aiden walked back over to Arthur and unzipped his pants, "Suck me now", Arthur looked over at Alfred one last time tears still streaming down his face as he did as his brother wished. "Mmm see just like a dog listening to his master's command. Pleasure me and my friends and your little boy toy over there can go free", Aiden moaned as Arthur took one last lick.

"P…Promise?"

"I promise little brother"

End of flashback

"That night was such a blur I can barely remember. After him and his friends had fun with me they turned on Alfred. I don't know what they did to him but I can still hear his screams. They broke him Francis! 13 years old! He was only a boy it was my fault!" Arthur hugged himself tightly tears spilling down his face.

"Arthur I-", Francis was cut off as the door downstairs was opened.

"Iggy you home? I got a surprise for ya!"

"Fuck Aiden is home you have to get out of here now! Quick out the window" Arthur wiped his tears away and opened the window slowly. "You can climb down the tree, the branches are sturdy enough", more footsteps could be heard as Aiden closed in on them. "Arthur come with me now please", Francis begged trying to be as quiet as possible.

"Francis you know I-"

"Don't you trust me Arthur please come", Francis held out his hand giving Arthur the puppy eyes. Arthur sighed and grabbed his jacket and book bag, gripping Francis hand as they descended down the tree. "God what the hell am I doing?" Arthur thought as they walked down the sidewalk away from his house and his brother's 'surprise'. "You are gaining some freedom from him. We will think of something my love; now let us go to eat. I do not know about you but all this excitement has made me hungry. I know the perfect place", Francis laced their fingers together and dragged Arthur along not bothering with the weird stares they were getting. "Umm Francis I need to get some decent clothes on first", Francis looked at Arthur and laughed as he noticed he was still wearing his sleepwear and socks.

"Ok first we go to my place and get you some clothing and shoes and then we go out on our date."

"This isn't a date", Arthur grumbled.

"Oh but it is my love. I am going to make you fall even deeper in love with me", Francis wiggled his eyebrows and growled. "Stupid frog I'm not in love with you. Let's hurry up I'm freezing over here", Arthur shivered zipping up his jacket completely and hugging himself.

"Yes yes my grouchy rabbit your wish is my command."

"I'M NOT A RABBIT FOR THE LAST TIME YOU IDIOT FROG!"
