Prologue

Taesuke Shinomori, 29, had just finished with the day's Adobe Illustrator tutorial and noticed that once again, Kaden was the last student in the computer lab. He sighed in irritation as he made his way over to the enfuriating student.
"How many times have I've shown you this and still you can't finish some simple image overlays?" he asked, pushing long strands of ebony hair out of his face. Adjusting his reading glasses, Taesuke leaned over and closed the program for Kaden. He winced as he accidentally brushed against the slender 18 year old. Taesuke barely contained the urge to roughly grab the boy out of his seat and onto his lap. Kaden's warmth enveloped him and the sight of his soft lips and gentle eyes stirred feelings in his cock. *Fucking great, I'm getting turned on by a student and a male, to boot. I'm such a pervert.* He suppressed a moan as the petite brunette squirmed against him.

"Uh, uhm Mr. Shinomori, can I g-go now? You've been hovering here for a bit and I kind of have to get to my next class..." Kaden trailed off, blushing furiously.

Snapping out of his reverie, Taesuke nodded and finished logging off the computer for him.

"Oh, yes, just in the future be aware of the time. I'm not always going to be here to finish for you."

*But why can't I?*

Taesuke stood up straight, trying to shake any notions of barely legal love out of his mind.

*I need a vacation.*

The student had been affecting him far too much lately. Ever since he had noticed the boy, standing so hesitantly in his class three weeks ago, he hadn't been able to get him out of his mind. Kaden was so... fragile. And soft. It stirred up every protective instinct Taesuke had in his being.

He watched the boy unfold from his seat and scoot nervously around him. Sighing, Taesuke headed back to his desk.

*************************

Kaden grabbed his black briefcase and hurried out of the lab towards Physics class. His hair fell in front of his eyes for what seemed like the millionth time that day. Before he could brush it away he found himself on the ground, staring down a familiar pair of well-cut leather boots.

"Fucking Christ Kaden, you need a haircut! And where were you?! Mr. Tanaka was harassing me about you always being late to his class blah blah blaaahh. I mean god it's like just 'cause we share a class I'm your keeper!"

His twin sister, Kurai stood glaring down at him, well-manicured hands enveloping thin hips. Her full lips were puckered up in her famous Kiss-my-ass-and-enjoy-it pout and her hazel eyes glared death.

It was true, she was his keeper. Ever since the twins could remember, Kurai had been the one standing up for Kaden through years of abuse at home and school. Their father was laid off shortly after their seventh birthday and their mother, not wanting to deal with an alcoholic abuser, went on 'vacation' to Europe. That had been one hell of a vacation; one she never left.

"I'm sorry. I was-"

"Just come on, will you?! I'm not listening to Tanaka-baka give any more lectures."

She sniffed indignantly and reached out a small hand to pull him to his feet.

The two ran off down the hallway to an Physics teacher. Taesuke was watched the two run, half hidden behind his door way. He shook his head and got ready for his next class.

**************************

*Bottles smash against the walls, gashes lace small legs and arms.

"Daddy, please stop! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be a good boy, ple-"

Little Kaden was cut short by a back hand across his face.

"Shut up, you piece of shit! Where the fuck is Kurai, that little slut? Daddy needs a favor from her."

The man laughed crudely, the booze on his breath a sure sign that he was in another drunken rage.

Kaden's nose dripped blood and his face was red from crying. He huddled into a ball and waited for it all to stop. Would it ever stop?

He wished Kurai was here. She always knew what to do, what to say, and how to fix the boo boo's. As if she didn't have her own to heal.

**************************

"Kaden! KADEN!"

He was jarred out of a dream by Kurai.
*Everything's ok now.*

He stared at her sleepily. Mr. Tanaka hit him promptly over the head with a metal ruler.

"You cretin! That's what you get for dozing of in class! Worthless, that's what you are."

Kurai's perfect eyebrows arched up and twitched ever so slightly with the familiar taunting. She clenched her fists, trying to contain the urge to throw a punch at Tanaka-baka.

*He pisses me off sometimes! No wait, ALL the time!!*

Without a word, she grabbed both her and her brother's briefcases and stormed out with him in tow. Kaden stumbled a bit and she slowed, glancing back at him.

His pale face was flaming red with embarassment and a wet spot was visible at the crouch of his pants. So, it *had* been another bad dream. She thought so.

"Sorry otouto-chan, he's just so arrogant! It's not your fault you fell asleep. Well sure you stayed up late--"

"I can take care of myself." he said, voice lowered in shame.

"I'm supposed to be the one that protects you... I-I'm the boy! You can't keep doing this!"

"Well! I know that... I was just looking out for you! Like I really need the extra burden You're so ungrateful." she choked over her harsh words as Kaden ran past her.

*Damn, he's so sensitive. I don't know what to do with him sometimes.*

She sighed and headed back to class.

*********************

Before he knew it, Kaden was back at the computer lab where he had started his day.
*Whaaaa? HWhat am I doing here?*

He wiped at his tears frantically.

*I've gotta finish that project anyways.*

Summoning up his courage, he pushed open the door slowly and peeked in. His professor, Mr. Shinomori, was emerced in thought, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his glasses in one hand. He saw the door open out of the corner of his eye and looked up questioningly.

"Yes Kaden?"

"I was thinking about maybe finishing my p-project from before? But if you're busy..."

"No, of course, go ahead." Mr. Shinomori gestered to the computer on his desk.

"Use mine, it's better than the ones they give students to work with." he smiled and pointed.

"T-thanks...uh, actually, I was wondering if you could h-help me a bit. The image overlays and all...it's just..." he blushed and looked away. He knew how to do it, but he felt like being with someone. Not just anyone, though. His heart skipped a beat.

*Why am I here? Could it be...*
