Two Brothers. One Soulmate .Chapter 31: old habits die hard .Jackson was the first one to rise as he slipped out of bed, careful not to wake up Nathan who was fast asleep beside him on the bed. He looked at the clock and saw that it was six in the morning, Luca had to be at school by nine when his classes start. A shiver ran down his spine from the chilly morning air as the brunet picked out a set of clothes and made his way into the bathroom for a shower. He ran the water and stripped out of his clothes then he looked in the mirror. His hair was sticking up at odd angles and his eyes were puffy from sleep. Once the water was hot he slipped inside and sighed at the contact, he made a mental to turn the heat up at night before going to bed to keep the house warm in the morning.The brunet stood there for a couple of minutes before he jumped when he felt arms snake around his waist and Jackson whipped around to see Nathan grinning at him. “Stop!” he exclaimed as he smacked the

Two Brothers. One Soulmate .Chapter 34: the presence of another human. Several students moved out of the way when they got too close and whispers started to move through the crowd. Luca shivered slightly at all the eyes staring at him and he moved closer to Jackson.“So who are these boys that are bullying you?” asked Jackson.Luca looked up at him surprised though looked away when he saw Jackson wasn’t look at him but the students hanging around the grounds. Luca decided to do the same and looked around to see if he could find the bullies who picked on him but couldn’t see them any where. “I d-don’t know,” he said. “They usually w-wait for me at the front g-gate,” he turned to look at the gate but they weren’t there either, “b-but I’m here earlier t-then normal.”Jackson nodded. “Alright well, just stick close to me okay,” he said. Luca nodded and moved closer, his hand gripping tightly on the back of Jackson’s shirt. They walked into the school building and Luca pointed the w

Two Brothers. One Soulmate .Chapter 36: knowing the evidence is in good hands. Nathan looked over at him and tilted his head. “You okay?” he asked.Jackson pushed the fake glasses Nathan had grabbed for him off their dresser up his nose before looking at the raven haired man. “Yeah, I think so,” he said. “What if… this doesn’t work? As much as I love Jedidiah’s grand parents I’m not so sure the evidence will be safe with them. What if we asked Adrien if we could take it to France with us? That lawyer would never think to look for it there. Also now that I think about it, if we leave the company, where are we going to live? We’ll be kicked out of the dorms and we could go back to our parents’ places but then we all wouldn’t be together.”Nathan reached for Jackson’s hand and gave it a small squeeze. “Relax Jackson, one thing at a time okay?

Two Brothers. One Soulmate .Chapter 38: me gustas tu . Warmth, a gentle pressure around his body, and the smell of caramel apples and fresh spring orchards wrapped Luca in a blanket of comfort as he slipped slowly into conscious. The familiar smell was one hundred percent Williams and one he’d grown accustomed to waking up to every morning for the past week. A smile graced his lips as he snuggled closer into Williams’s chest not wanting to open his eyes or wake up just yet. Just as he was about to fall back asleep the sound of drawers opening and closing reached his ears. Groaning Luca pulled his hands up to rub at his face before opening his eyes.Williams’s wide grin greeted him. “Hey there,” he said softly, “sleep okay?”“Liam,” whined Luca as he gripped onto Williams’s biceps. “Where were you? Why didn’t you answer your phone?” He could feel himself getting upset again so he took a couple of deep breaths to will the oncoming tears away.Williams reached up a hand and brushed

Two Brothers. One Soulmate .Chapter 40: lost stars trying to light up the dark. Luca took a deep breath and started singing.Oh, YeahPlease don't seeJust a boy caught up in dreams and fantasiesPlease see meReaching out for someone I can't seeLuca glanced over at Williams and Jedidiah who smiled lovingly back at him.Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrowBest laid plans sometimes are just a one night standI'll be damned, Cupid's demanding back his arrowSo let's get drunk on our tearsLuca closed his eyes and placed a hand over his heart as he sang, putting in as much of his build up emotions into the lyrics as he could.And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the youngIt's hunting season and the lambs are on the runSearching for meaningBut are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?Who are we?Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?Woe is meIf we're not careful turns into realityBut don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrowYester
