//I can't believe all the travesty surrounding me
I, I want to flee
I want to flee from everything
In front of me I
Can't believe
Never again, trusted in you
Fuck everything that you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again //
Can't Believe -Staind

"Aidan, lemme sleep."
Kegan mumbled, waving a lazy hand as he felt his boyfriend, Aidan, trying to shake him awake.
"Keeg... you have to get up now."
There was something in his lover's voice that had the same effect as cold water down his spine would have had, and he sat up, naked except for the tangle of bed sheets, rubbing a hand through his icy platinum blond hair, the green tips mussed together to give it a moss-like look, which was usually sorted out after a few minutes with a mirror and some gel.
He stopped suddenly as he felt something cold and hard and NOT familiar dig into the back of his neck. He froze, aqua blue eyes freezing with questioning betrayal as he looked at Aidan and saw a man in a SWAT type uniform, complete with a face mask, standing at his side.
The man threw him a pair of jeans.
"Put 'em on son." He said.
Keegan, confused and feeling terribly vulnerable wearing absolutely nothing did as he was told.
It wasn't fair. He shouldn't have been woken up at gunpoint in his lover's bedroom, in their BED, after just having had sex. He shouldn't have been frogmarched down the hall and into a black van dressed only in his jeans.
He shouldn't have trusted Aidan not to keep his secret when he finally found out.
Just because he was a mutant did that make him any less of a human being? Well, technically yes, but morally, it shouldn't have anything to do with him living his life.
After that fiasco in Bayville, when that institute of mutant kids was attacked and many of them killed or injured, the world had turned Nazi over the 'homo superior' thing.
This didn't mean much to Keegan. He would have been persecuted even if he hadn't been a mutant, his sexual orientation made sure of that. Yes he liked girls AND boys, yes he was damn proud of it, no he wasn't going to deny anything even if it did mean being beaten bloody.
Discovering his powers only meant that he could now defend himself and his right to be who he wanted to be.
Unfortunately, now it was all working out backwards for him.
He turned round in the restraining arms of the policemen behind him, craned his head to see Aidan standing there, wrapped in the sheets that they had been lying in together only moments before.
His composure broke for a few seconds, before they loaded him into the van.
"I trusted you Aidan! I trusted you!"

I feel this was below my usual standards (read: crap) Sorry... I'll try harder next time.
