Chapter Five
The wind tousled navy blue locks of hair, as narrowed crimson eyes appeared pensive; unsure about the future. Hugh sighed softly, hands gripping the railing. He couldn't quite believe that he was listening to Nate's brash twin sister, and actually going along with this crazy idea. Would Nate even be receptive to this? If his demonic step-brother had already sunk his claws in would Hugh have the power to aid him?
Rosa believed that he was the only option left, so he needed to at least try and believe in his own abilities. They had been best friends for years, and Nate shared all of his secrets with Hugh. Surely he would open up about Touya aswell.
However, what would he say in response to that? Rosa obviously detested the idea of her newly found sibling getting cosy with her twin, and the reason must have been a good one. Unfortunately procrastination time was now over, as crimson eyes detected the lithe figure of his best friend approaching. He knew that mop of messy brown hair anywhere.
"Hey, you took your time!" He chirped, putting on a smile as he walked down the stairs to greet Nate. Upon inspection the brunet seemed on edge, not his usual jovial self.
"Oh sorry...something came up, but I'm here now!" Nate smiled brightly and walked up besides his childhood friend, before giving him a hug. Hugh sighed inwardly. It had only been a few days and already the sparkle that once shone in Nate's hazel eyes was now dampened and soon would be lost forever.
"I know you Nate, come on...what's wrong?" Hugh spoke softly, keeping his arms firmly secured around the smaller boy. He felt the younger boy inhale deeply, as if he were trying to hold it all together.
"I'm just...so confused Hugh..."
"About what?" Nate's fingers gripped onto Hugh's jacket tightly, almost frightened to let go. Would Hugh judge him for this? Or was this just purely infatuation? After all, the young brunet had never really had feelings for anyone, let alone another guy before.
"Hugh...have you ever liked someone more than a friend?" Nate mumbled, refusing to let the taller male out of his grip just yet. Hugh looked thoughtful. His life was mainly consumed by his family, especially his little sister. She was his world, so he never had time to think about those kinds of things.
"To be honest, not really. I guess it's just something that's never been brought up into conversation. Until now that is." He chuckled softly. "Why do you ask?"
"Well uh..." Nate swallowed hard, slowly pulling away from the navy-haired male. Crimson eyes melted into hazel, and Nate was sure he felt his heart jolt into action. He blinked, attempting to remember the road the conversation was drifting down, but for the moment his brain was just blank.
"Nate?" Gently Hugh rested his hands on the boy's arms, noticing how he seemed vacant for a moment. "...are you feeling okay? Do you need to sit down?" Weakly the brunet nodded and instantly Hugh guided him to sit down on the steps, pulling him close to his side.
"You're worrying me..." He muttered quietly, crimson eyes drinking in the fragile image of his best friend, who was crumbling right in front of him. Was this that Touya guys doing? Maybe Rosa really did have cause for concern.
"Hugh...I've never really thought about that kind of thing, or ever wanted to be with anyone really, but now...I get those feelings, even though its wrong...so wrong..."
"Explain to me how it's wrong." Nate sighed, hands combing through his messy brown hair.
"I just shouldn't be feeling this way...it could ruin everything." Rosa was right, and Hugh wanted to just shake the younger boy into waking. Touya really had gotten under his skin, making him question his very sanity. Was that part of the plan? He wasn't sure how to break this spell. The kid was well and truly wrapped around his pinky finger.
"You need to come spend more time with me, man. I've missed hanging out with you." Hugh spoke up, watching as hazel eyes shimmered for a moment, and a genuine smile tugged at his lips.
"I miss you too..."
"Stay over mine tonight." Hugh was actually shocked the words flowed so freely out of his mouth, and the look on Nate's face said it all. He was just as shocked.
"What?"
"Stay over man. We haven't had a sleepover in the longest time!" That fact in itself was true, however Touya's image flashed across the younger boys mind. He knew that his step-brother would probably be annoyed if he just left him in solitude for a night. He sighed softly. On the other hand he didn't want to let Hugh down, and be a stick in the mud.
"I can't tonight...I have revision..."
"Then we can revise together." Hugh was determined to somehow prevent the younger boy from falling further into the demonic clutches of his sadistic step-brother. He hadn't even met this Touya person, but the fact he already had this control over his best friend was something the navy haired male didn't take too kindly too.
"Hugh..." Nate glanced downwards, clasping his hands firmly together, pressing them against his forehead. He desperately wanted to spend time with his best friend, more than anything, but this deep longing ravaging in his heart refused to subside.
"I'm not even giving you the opportunity to say no now. You're staying at mine tonight. It's for your best interests Nate. You are seriously worrying me." The smaller brunet leaned against his friend's shoulder, and sighed softly as he felt a strong arm coil around his shoulder.
"Thanks Hugh."
"No need for thanks. What are friends for?" The navy-haired male smiled. Maybe Rosa was right. Maybe he did have the power to aid Nate after all, and somehow prevent the total train wreck that was about to unfold. He could but hope.

"Dammit!" Angrily Touya stomped around the bedroom that now belonged to both himself and his newly found, and rather attractive step-brother. Curiosity had got the better of him and from the bedroom window he could faintly see the figures of Nate and his best friend getting cosy at the lookout spot.
"Didn't I tell you it wouldn't be a walk in the park?" Instantly his head snapped up at the voice, and upon inspection he noticed his twin sister, Touko had arrived at the door. She was leaning against the door frame, smirking.
"Shut it you! At least I'm trying to sort out this sorry mess!"
"By pushing the little brat into the arms of his best friend? Real classy bro." Touya groaned, fingers digging into his hair. This wasn't part of his scheme. He didn't need some low-life degenerate interfering in his master plan.
"Just you wait and see, I'll get that kid begging for me!"
"You said that last time, remember?" Touko giggled to herself, idly playing with a strand of brown hair that had come loose from her ponytail. "Maybe you need to try something else?"
"The plan will work Touko, I just need time..!" Touya turned back to the window, eyes darkening as he witnessed both boys seemingly cuddling on the steps of the lookout. It made his blood boil, hands clenching into fists.
"I think you're putting a lot into this little scheme of yours, but what if it fails? What if Nate ends up falling for his genuine best friend, hmm? What then?"
"That won't happen." He stated proudly. Somewhere deep within he was sure that the little brat was still wrapped tightly around his finger. He had control of this situation, he just needed to take a different approach. A Tauros in a china shop wasn't the way to go.
"Touya you're still not thinking rationally. Okay, your plan is to make Nate fall for you, and then destroy the family but what then? What if you actually develop feelings for him? It's not easy to play make believe you know?" He smirked, and chuckled to himself.
"Sis, you have so little faith in me. Like I'd ever do anything that stupid. This is all just a game, and he is my pawn." Touko sighed, and moved away from the door frame. She hated living with her extended family just as much as her brother, but she couldn't help but see the obvious flaws to his plan.
"What if it all backfires? Who is going to have to pick up the pieces? Me, as usual."
"It won't backfire!" Touya spat angrily, losing patience. "I've seen how that kid looks at me, he's totally smitten." It was true, and so obvious. Nates intentions were morphing from that of purity and innocence to something deadly, something wretched. Touko shook her head.
"All because you want Dad to go back to Mom, really?" He frowned, glancing back at the window. Hands clenching into fists as darkening brown eyes watched Hugh and Nate snuggle together. It was the only way to get the family back together and to get out of this hell hole. By destroying the peace there would be no choice.
"I want our family back, Touko." Her eyes softened at his words.
"You think I don't want that? Of course I want Mom and Dad to work things out...but Dad was the one who cheated, and moved on..." Touya could feel his annoyance building deep within. Who did he really want to hurt in this? Nate, the innocent victim in this twisted game; or his lying scumbag of a Father?
"That's why I have to do this, Touko. I have to break up this family." She sighed, but decided against protesting further. It was useless, Touya could be so stubborn at times.
"...fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. I'm going to the Library to study for the exams, you should start thinking about your school work too." He snorted at the remark, as if he would even begin to dream about his academic life.
"You'll be thanking me when Dad gets back with Mom and this little family is in ruins." Touko rolled her eyes once more, and left without uttering another word. Touya watched the slim figure of his step-brother. He had to think of a way of enticing him back to the house, and making sure he was well and truly under his spell.

Nate jolted upright when he heard his Pokegear ringing in his pocket. Just who could be calling him? As he fished the device from his pocket, and glanced at the screen the caller I'D was unknown. Crimson eyes traced the young brunet intently. After everything Nate had told him it proved that Rosa's concerns did have a foundation, but he was limited to what he could actually do. Hugh watched as Nate answered the call, wondering what the next course of action would be.
"Hello?"
"Nate, it's me...Touya." Nate's countenance changed almost immediately, it flashed with worry and anxiety.
"Oh...uh...hi. I thought you were angry at me..."
"I'm sorry for storming off like that Nate," Touya spoke softly down the receiver as he watched from the window, smirking to himself. "I just...I want to make it up to you. Can you come back home?"
"Well I..." Nate glanced at Hugh apologetically, thinking through just what he was supposed to say. He didn't want to make Touya angry at him, especially since he had taken time out to call him and wanted to make amends. Surely he could hang out with Hugh tomorrow instead?
"I know I probably don't deserve any time from you but...I need to see you." Touya practically begged, sienna eyes narrowed in mischief. He beheld the scene between Nate and his best friend, knowing deep within he had ultimate rule over his heart.
"O-okay...are you home?"
"Yeah, I'll be in our room."
"Okay, I'll be back soon then." Hugh frowned, realising that it must have been his sadistic step-brother, trying to wrap Nate around his little finger once again. Once the young brunet ended the phone call and was about to stand up, Hugh blocked him.
"What's going on?" He said sternly.
"I need to get back home. I...err had a fight with Rosa earlier and she called to make things right. Can we hang out tomorrow?" This confused the blue-haired male. Didn't Rosa come to his house to ask for his help? Why would she do that if they had fought a few hours previous? But, Hugh wasn't going to start accusing his best friend of being a liar.
"Okay sure, tomorrow though yeah?" Nate nodded and smiled brightly.
"Of course! We can study and maybe even go out to watch a movie or something!" Hugh smiled in response, and patted Nate on the shoulder.
"Awesome. Well, see ya then." And from the window the older brunet that beheld the scene just smirked to himself. Now he knew that he had Nate right where he wanted him. Touko had no reason to be concerned as this little game was unfolding just nicely.

It felt as if his nerve endings were alight as the younger brunet entered the house, and made his way up the stairs. No one was home it seemed, maybe Rosa had decided to go shopping or something? His breaths were shallow, and shaky. Why was he nervous? Touya had sounded so upset on the phone, and obviously wanted to make things right, so why did he feel so anxious?
As he stood outside of his bedroom door Nate took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open. Touya was in the room just like he promised, only seeing him in this state caused the younger boy's heart to thunder powerfully in his chest.
Touya must have just come out of the shower because he was facing away from Nate, scrubbing his hair dry with a towel, whilst another towel snugly fit around his waist. Water droplets cascaded down his toned back muscles, which caused a small whimper to erupt from the younger boy's throat.
"I-I'm sorry!" He exclaimed, as sienna eyes turned and melted into purer hazel ones. He just smirked, not seeming to care about being half naked around him.
"You never seen a half naked man before?" He teased, noticing how red Nate's face was turning. The feelings that he was unsure of before we now resurfacing as his eyes continued to drown in this tantalising image before him. Of course, this was all done on purpose. Touya wanted the younger boy to act this way. It meant he was attracted to him, and made this game so much more satisfying.
"Y-you...you just..."
"It's okay if you like my body, Nate." Touya spoke confidently, as he threw the towel he was using to scrub his hair with carelessly on the floor, and walked slowly up to the smaller boy. Nate had closed the door and had his back pressed against it as his step-brother closed the gap. They were only inches apart and Nate was almost sure that Touya would be able to hear his heartbeat.
"You can touch me if you want to." The older boy added in, watching as hazel eyes widened in shock, and it seemed as if he was unsure of how to respond. Gently Touya reached out and grabbed the brunet's wrist, pulling his hand closer and placing it on his collarbone. Nate shivered at the feeling of the older boy's skin underneath his fingertips. He was warm, and he smelled so good.
"T-Touya..." He murmured softly, as his hand traced the outlines of the other boy's torso, admiring the definition of abdominal muscles, and honey blemished skin. Warmth was spreading in the young boy's abdomen, and weakly he closed his eyes. Why was he feeling this way? It was so wrong.
"I know you like what you see." Touya smirked, raising an eyebrow, as Nate shyly withdrew his hand back to the safety of his side. "I'm sure you want to see more~" It felt as if his cheeks would burst into flames right now, as he just couldn't take his eyes off his step-brother. The way Touya's hands teasingly tugged at the towel wrapped around his waist, knowing that if it was removed he would see everything.
"W-wait...!" Nate cried, suddenly pressing both of his hands flat against Touya's firm chest, pushing him back. "Not like this...please." Confusion spread across the older boy's face for a moment.
"What do you mean?" Then Nate's hands moved up his chest, traced along his arms until they found his own hands, and gently held them. He bowed his head weakly, desperately attempting to fight this primal urge, these overwhelming feelings of desire for his newly found sibling, but it was in vain.
Then as his eyes melted into sparkling sienna irises he realised that fighting against something that felt so good was pointless. Touya shamelessly claimed the younger boy's lips in a domineering kiss, and wrapped his strong arms around him. Nate became utterly intoxicated, drowning in the euphoria that flooded his body. In one swift motion the younger boy was lifted into the air and placed down on the bed, causing breathless moans to escape his lips.
"Such a dirty little one~" Touya teased, moving his lips over the sensitive skin on Nate's neck, watching in excitement as the brunet's back arched like a feral Meowth, desperately wanting to be closer. Suckling the skin caused a soft moan to erupt from Nate's throat, as Touya's ministrations were causing his once dormant organ to swell in his pants.
"T-Touya...~" This was too easy. It was lucky that Nate was so attractive, it made this little game all the more pleasing. Seeing him so vulnerable in this way made the others boys resolve waver slightly, he was unsure if he could hold back for much longer.
Then he paused, allowing flushed hazel irises to connect with his own, taking great pleasure in drinking in this appealing image of his step-brother. He was already a submissive mess and he hadn't even started. Nate's fingers reached up and found the other boy's neck, caressing softly, as gently he bit his bottom lip.
"I-I...I know this is wrong..." He started, allowing his fingers to brush through Touya's mane of hair, watching his facial expressions intently. "...but, I just can't stop feeling like this."
"Who cares if it's wrong, we don't have to tell anyone." Touya cooed, causing the younger boy to sigh, almost dreamily. Of course, he knew that there was no way that Nate could keep his obvious attraction a secret. It would only be a matter of time.
"Do you like me?" Nate muttered quietly, his heart quaking within his chest. Without uttering any words the older brunet captured his lips in a kiss that was much softer than the ones he was used to, and it caught him by surprise. There was an undertone of tenderness, and it was addictive. He shivered, burying fingers into soft hair, pulling Touya closer. His skin was so warm, his smell was tantalising, causing Nate to moan softly into the kiss.
Touya would be lying if he didn't enjoy the feeling of the younger boy's lips on his own, and how delicious his moans sounded in the air. Right now his sexual frustration was at it's peak, and soon enough the flustered brunet would be ridden of all items of clothing. But he needed to hold back. Moving things too fast wasn't the way to go.
As Touya pulled away from this kiss he watched as Nate desperately moved forwards, attempting to capture his lips once again. Cheeks flushed pink, and breathless; this image was driving the older brunet up the wall.
"You really want me, don't you?" Touya teased, smirking. Nate shyly bit his lip, as large hazel eyes gazed lovingly into sienna irises.
"...it's that obvious?"
"It's almost as if you're begging me to ravage you." Weakly, the younger boy moved his hips upwards, brushing his midsection against Touya, completely catching him off guard. He groaned inwardly, eyes closing as he felt the obvious friction against his growing member.
"P-please..." Nate murmured weakly, nimble fingers pulling the other boy closer as desire clouded all senses. "I-I can't take it anymore..." Touya couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had believed that this plan may actually take longer than anticipated but it seemed he had been wrong. Already the messy haired brunet was eating out of the palm of his hand.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Touya mocked, smirking as he continued to keep his lips at a distance, almost touching Nate's but not quite. It was torture for the younger boy, whose heart was hammering angrily in his chest. Why was his body betraying him in this way?
"K-Kiss me...touch me...make me feel good." The tone of the younger brunet's voice was sexy as hell, and it was definitely affecting Touya's resolve. Would he actually be able to keep this act up? All he wanted to do right now was rip off Nate's clothes and pound him into submission, if only for his own sexual release.
"So it's all on your terms huh?" Nate's eyes blinked in response.
"H-huh...?"
"What if I want you to do things to me?" Touya challenged, allowing his lips to brush against Nate's softly, causing a soft moan to escape his throat as his back arched into him completely.
"I'll...I'll do it...or try at least..." He murmured weakly, fingers tugging at the older boy, needing him closer, sinfully so. Touya smirked, triumphant. Now he could prove to his doubting sister just how easy it would be to make this kid submit completely to him.
"Okay," Suddenly Touya sat up, and Nate's eyes blinked in response. The absence of the other boys warmth made him shiver suddenly as he just admired the toned physique of his step-brother. "I can teach you the way's of being an adult~" He teased, as it was his turn to lie down beside the younger boy. Nate watched, unsure to what he was supposed to be doing, but when Touya motioned for the boy to come closer he complied obediently.
"Well first, I want you to climb on top of me." Hesitantly, the younger boy straddled Touya's waist, looking uncertain of his actions. His hands gripped Nate's hips, bringing him closer, allowing him to shiver in delight. His mind swarmed with illicit thoughts, how it would feel to watch the flustered brunet ride him, hear his delicious moans, and claim him entirely.
"Is this okay?" He murmured shyly, gently placing his hands on Touya's chest, admiring the toned muscles underneath his fingertips.
"If you had less clothing on then that would make it a hell of a lot better~" Touya teased, watching as the younger boy flushed crimson in embarrassment. Nate wasn't exactly body confident. He was very skinny, and didn't possess a lovely toned body like his step-brother. At times he felt inferior, but if Touya wanted to see him undressed then he would at least try.
"U-umm..." He stuttered shyly, and this piqued the interest of the older boy. Was Nate nervous about that? Gently he moved his hands from his hips and trailed his fingers lightly up his sides, pulling his t-shirt up, admiring the soft skin beneath.
"Want me to help you?" The sultry tone to his voice sent chills running down the younger boy's spine, and he was powerless to resist. It was an easy job, and with little resistance Touya rid the boy of his t-shirt, admiring his slim figure. Okay, he wasn't toned but the fact he was so slim and fragile appealed to him so much more.
"Don't be so shy, you look fine." He assured Nate, smiling at him, and noted that the boy seemed to calm immediately. But deep within the workings of his mind he couldn't wait until he could prove to his sister he was right. This plan would work, and right now it was sinfully easy.
Nate was his plaything and always would be.
