Luke's POV:

He shot up out of bed, wondering why he felt something was wrong.

"Ethan?" called out Luke, noticing his.. what?

His lover?

His friend fake enemy?

Anyways, that wasn't the point.

The point was to make sure Ethan was safe, and right now Luke felt that it wasn't true.

He exited the kitchen and immediately ran to Ethan who was grabbing a knife.

"Hey, hey! Ethan, what the f!€k?" said Luke, grabbing Ethan gently with one hand while taking the knife with the other.

Ethan's gaze looked far, and Luke got worried when he didn't respond.

"Darling? Hey, this isn't funny. Can you hear me?" asked Luke, moving Ethan's face towards his.

Still no answer, and Luke was getting desperate.

As a last resort, he kissed the barely conscious man.

Luckily, that seemed to snap Ethan out of it.

"L-Luke?"

"Hey, you scared me. What the h3ll were you doing?" whispered Luke, checking Ethan for injuries.

"I—"

Ethan's voice broke.

Luke gently pulled him in for a hug, and the guy he made a deal with broke down into sobs.

Not small tears, full on sobs.

"What aren't you telling me my darling?"

When Ethan calmed down, both men were sitting on the kitchen floor.

"Could you tell me what's wrong, Ethan?" asked Luke as gently as he could.

"..."

"..Ethan?"

"..You saw Kentaro drag me towards that white haired man, right?"

Luke nodded.

"His name is Lorenzo. Lorenzo Lamont..."

At first, Luke didn't understand why that was bothering Ethan.

Then it hit him like an anvil.

"Lamont? Isn't that.."

"Nyukon's last name? Yeah.. they're f!€king brothers."

"Why don't you tell Kentaro?"

"He doesn't know I'm a str!pper, nor does he know how bad Nyukon is. Plus, I don't want to ruin their relationship, their f!€king engaged Luke. ENGAGED, for 9 months." explained Ethan, wiping away stray tears.

Luke saw the fault in that plan.

Ethan began to hyperventilate, and nothing could make him stop.

"I-I need a distraction."

Ethan's POV:

He needed a distraction, it's the only way for him to calm down.

"..Get dressed."

Ethan looked up at Luke in confusion. "W-What?"

"Get dressed. I'm taking you out."

Ethan obeyed, and the outfit he chose looked casual.

He wore black flare leggings, a loose white crop top with a dark blue leather jacket with platinum flecks.

He walked out and spotted Luke wearing washed jeans, a sort of see through white shirt, and a black sweatshirt around his waist.
