Dray: Thanks for the reviews and everything! This chapter is a little angsty but it's funny at the end! Lol. If I wanted, I could write a whole angst story but that's only when I get depressed and that doesn't happen that often. Lol.

Sin: I can't believe you're doing this to me!

Dray: It's all part of my master plan! Bwahahahaha!

Sin: He's lost it...Here's the new chapter where Dray explains who Corbin is and all that. Enjoy.

Amber eyes met with blue-green eyes that held fear in them. Theo looked down at Lucas who was sprawled on the light gray marble floor. "Lucas?"

The blonde got up quickly and said, "G-gomen! I-I mean sorry! I didn't mean to snoop and listen! I just heard some crashes and thought something bad was happening! That someone was hurt or something! That they would need some help! And...And...I'M SO SORRY!"

The boy began to cry by this point, causing Theo to calm down so he didn't scare the boy any further. "It's all right, Lucas."

Lucas had his hands up to his eyes as he cried. "I'm sorry! If you want me to go back to Japan, I will!

Theo's eyes widened before he blushed as he said, "No, I wasn't talking about you, Lucas. I don't want you to leave."

The boy sniffled, wiping his eyes with the back of his dress shirt. "Really? But why would you want Sin to go away?"

"Uh, it's complicated."

Lucas looked up into Theo's eyes, looking curious and asked, "Is it because of Corbin?"

Theo was surprised to hear that name since he remembered faintly being called Corbin when Sin saved him and then when he spoke with Castor a few days ago. "Who is Corbin?"

The blonde boy began to panic, looking like he had committed a horrible crime like stealing a cookie and eating it before dinner. And in the innocent boy's mind, that is a serious offence. "N-no one!" He felt really bad for lying but he didn't want to betray his big brother's trust. Plus, if Theo kept talking to him, he would crack any moment since he's a horrible liar.

Theo gave the panicked boy a reassuring smile as he asked, "Please, Lucas. Can you please tell me?"

Lucas' eyes kept darting around, like Sin, Draco, or Pollux would pop out at any given moment and bust him for betraying their trust. "I-I can't! He brings up a lot of bad memories! Especially to Sin! AH! I'm speaking too much!" He began to cry again, feeling guilty for speaking of Corbin, lying, and keeping a secret from Theo, his new friend.

"Come on, Lucas. Sin won't find out. It'll be our little secret, all right?"

The blonde looked nervous but said, "All...All right. But you can't tell anyone I told you! Especially to Sin, Pol, and Draco!"

Theo smiled, warmly at the little boy. "I swear I won't."

Lucas looked up at him, holding out his right hand with his pinky out. "Pinky promise?"

Lucas took a deep breath and released it, relaxing slightly before he began to explain, "Corbin was Sin's boyfriend before Pol. They dated for about three years straight and were really in love with each other. They even planned to get married and stuff when they got older. Sin would do anything for him even really silly things like dressing up like a puppy for Halloween! The weird thing is...You look exactly like Corbin. You could be his long lost twin or something. Even your personalities are similar. But the thing is..."

Theo looked down at Lucas who had hung his head down when he paused. "What is it?"

Lucas met into familiar looking amber eyes and said softly "He's...dead..."

"Oh..." The older boy was surprised, finally understanding why Sin always looked at him weird.

The blonde continued, crying a little "Corbin was murdered. Right in front of Sin. They were coming back from a date when a bunch of bad people stopped them. The bad people wanted to do things to Corbin that Sin was strongly against so he fought them. But there were too many of them and they had weapons with them. Sin was protecting Corbin when someone was about to shoot him but...Corbin got in between and was shot in his chest, near his heart. The bad men ran away after Corbin was shot while Sin held him in his arms, watching him die. Sin blames himself for what had happened every day. He thinks he should have been the one to die not Corbin. He spent six months in the hospital before the therapist finally let him go."

Theo was silent for a while before he said, "Shit..." He sat down on his messed up bed, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden information. "So basically, I'm the bad memory, huh?"

Lucas wiped his tears away, walking up to Theo, standing in front of him. He sniffled and explained, "You remind him of Corbin. From your looks, personality, and voice. He's afraid to love you."

"I...I just won't...I just won't let him get hurt."

Lucas didn't really understand what Theo meant by that but nodded. "Okay."

Theo smiled weakly at him. "Thanks, Lucas."

The boy sniffled, smiling back. "You're welcome, Theo-chan."

"Our secret, right?"

"Hai! Our little secret!"

Theo nodded, looking around his messed up room. "I should start cleaning up..."

"I'll help!" Lucas began to pick up books that were on the floor, stacking them up in his thin arms.

The older boy picked up a book and asked, "How long ago was it?"

"Um...We were in Germany at the time...Um...Two years ago! He was my age at the time!"

Theo had to remember that Lucas was fourteen not ten by the way he acts. "He wanted to get married that young?"

"Hai! He really loved him. And he could see himself spending the rest of his life with him."

Theo shook his head, putting away a book. "At that age, all I wanted to do was leave home..."

Lucas looked up at him, with curious sea orbs. "Why's that, Theo-chan?"

Theo frowned, his eyes narrowing as he answered, "Bitchy step-mum and siblings."

The blonde pouted a little, not liking the thought of people mistreating his friend but then smiled. "Well, you can always come to our house if you ever want to! I'm sure Daddy and Mummy won't mind!"

Theo chuckled, smiling at the boy. "It's okay. I'll just go annoy Draco or Harry when I don't want to face them."

"Why? Draco and Harry need their alone time so they can get together!"

The brunette raised his eyebrow, asking, "Is everyone set on getting them together?"

"Hai! They'll be so cute together!

Theo laughed, replying, "I guess you're right. Draco needs to loosen up. But speaking of cute...Have you found anyone you like yet?" He smirked at the last part, watching the blonde blush.

Lucas was red like a cherry as he replied, "N-no! O-of course not!"

The sixteen-year old laughed as he said, "Lucas, you are the worst liar in the world!"

The boy knew he was a horrible liar and could never get away with it because he can't pull it off and he always felt guilty. "I know...But you can't tell anyone especially Draco, Pol, and Sin if I tell you!"

Theo smiled. "It'll be another one of our little secrets."

Lucas smiled but started blushing more as he looked down at the floor while shifting his feet a little. "Um...I like...Blaise."

"Blaise? Blaise Zabini? Are you serious?" Lucas blushed even more if it was possible and nodded, still looking at the ground like it contained a puzzle that you have to stare to figure out the picture.

Theo smirked since it was obvious that the Italian liked the blonde back. "Want me to put in a good word for you?"

Lucas looked up and saw the wink. "Ah! It's okay! You don't have to! Besides, I don't want any trouble! And he could like someone else for all I know!"

"Well, I just happen to know who he likes."

"Really!? Who!?"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes! Please, Theo! Please!"

"Well...All right. He just happens to like this one blonde guy I know. He's short, adorable, a horrible liar, and very sweet..."

Lucas tilted his head in confusion, since he's totally clueless about people liking him as more than just a friend. "Really? I didn't know there were a lot of blondes in this school. The only blondes I know are me and Draco."

Theo rolled his eyes as he said, "Let's add clueless to that list."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"You."

Lucas went wide eyed as he exclaimed, "WHAT!? REALLY!? BLAISE LIKES ME!?"

"Yes, he's been staring at you ever since you got here."

The boy blushed, feeling embarrassed that he never noticed. "Oh..." Suddenly, a thought popped into his head as he screamed, "OH NO! SIN MUST HAVE NOTICED BY NOW! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!? HE'LL HURT BLAISE!"

"First, you are going to tell Sin that he doesn't control you. Second, you will make a move on Blaise."

Lucas was scared to go against his big brother, knowing that Sin only wants to protect him but blushed at the second part of Theo's plan. "I-I can't do that...I'll hurt Sin's feelings..."

"You can't let Sin control you forever. Look, I have the perfect plan." The older boy grinned wickedly that made the smaller boy nervous.

"Um...Okay..."

Theo smirked. "It's simple. But it involves wearing a lot of leather."

Lucas tilted his head, blinking. "Leather?"

Theo grinned as he explained, "Yep! I'll have Draco and Harry distract Sin. While he isn't around, you can talk to Blaise, wearing nothing but leather and being flirty."

The boy looked scared as he exclaimed, "I-I don't know how to be flirty!"

"It's easy. Just compliment him, suggest things, and all that. It's not that hard. You can do it."

"Um...Okay, I'll try..."

"Brilliant! We'll go shopping during the weekend when we have that trip into the city and get you an outfit. You are too innocent-looking so we'll have to go with simple yet body clinging."

Lucas blushed deeply, hoping Sin and his mum won't be around to see him when he gets his new clothes. Sin would go into an outrage while his mum would be shocked to see his baby boy dressed in all leather, hitting on an older boy. "Okay."

Theo smiled, seeing the boy's distress and placed a hand on his shoulder, reassuring him. "Trust me, Lucas. By this time next week, you and Blaise will be the cutest couple in all of Von Hellfire Academy."

Lucas blushed but smiled up in thanks. "Thanks, Theo. This really means a lot to me."

"No problem. I'm just happy to do something helpful for a cute kid like you."

The blonde giggled and hugged him. Theo smiled, hugging the boy who he considered a little brother back.

Sin: WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING!?

Dray: (Shoves Blaise and Lucas into a closet together) Oh nothing...

Theo: Real smooth...(Rolls his eyes)

Dray: Thanks! Lol. Review please!
