"So are you ready to tell us your side of this story?" Seth's mom asks as he stands up changing his clothes. It's Monday and Seth is ready to leave the hospital, he got his arm cast and he was doing better so they're finally letting him go. He couldn't wait to go home because it means finally getting to see Kaine who he thinks is still at the apartment they share."You know everything already there's nothing left to tell""How can you be so stupid? when were you ever gay Seth? you've always liked women""Mom it's not like that, all right? I couldn't help growing feelings for Kaine""We did not raise you this way!""Ok but things happen""How are we suppose to explain this to people?""I don't know and I don't care""SETH YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO US!" She yells"Calm down Elaine" Seth's dad rubs her backShe slowly takes deep breaths "Seth think about this, think about the torture being with that boy will bring you. is that what you want?""Being with Kaine is worth it mom, he is amazing,
Seth finally makes it home, he rushes up the stairs leaving his parents behind, quickly unlocking the door he walks in "KAINE!?" he yells but no answer so he tries again, walking towards Kaine's bedroom "Kaine you home?" He opens Kaine's bedroom door and he's not there so Seth shuts it disappointedHe walks to his room and opens the door slowly walking in, Seth notices an envelope on his bed. Picking it up he turns it over and reads his name on the front of the envelope, getting the letter out he already knows it's from Kaine because of the handwriting. 'Dear Seth, he begins to read the letter,I'm so sorry that you're hurt, it was hard for me to see you at the hospital like that and even then I was ready to stay by your side because you know I'd never just leave. Your parents had a lot to say and although their words were painful they were also true, I caused this and I'll never be able to forgive myself if I allow something like this to happen again. It hurts not being with you, it
"Tan, what are you doing here?" Harris opens his door shirtless not expecting any company"They're fighting again" Tan walks in leaving Harris at the door.Shutting the door Harris turns to Tan feeling awkward "ok I guess I'll put a shirt on""You don't have to do that on my account" Tan grinsAnd Harris chuckles nervously "I'll be right back" then walks away."The place looks so clean!" Tan said dropping his bag and taking off his jacket"Thanks! I finally hired a housekeeper!" Harris replies from the other room. After putting a shirt on he walks out to find Tan sitting on the couch texting "so what happened this time?" Harris stops at the couch keeping some distance between him and TanPutting his phone away he sighs "I don't know I got home from school and they were already going at it. They didn't even acknowledge me, at first it was entertaining but it got very real very fast so I had to get out of there""And you came here instead?""I always talk to you when they're fighting" T
"You're going to be late for school" Harris and Tan stand against the wall kissing as Tan grinds against Harris"Then we should probably leave, right?" They agree but no one movesTheir kissing gets interrupted when Harris's cell phone rings "it's the office shh" he quiets Tan, and Tan continues to kiss his neck and massage his front with Harris's front. "Hello-" he looks at Tan surprised "good morning Scott!" Tan's jaw drops when Harris says his father's name "no this isn't a bad time I was just finishing up getting ready to leave." Tan's father talks and Harris does his best to focus, but it's so hard when Tan is just kissing and biting his neck and ear, making it difficult for Harris to even stand. "Yes I can stop and pick them up on my way" he listens "no problem see you at the office" then hangs up."Oh my god that was my dad!" Tan laughs"That was your dad" Harris panics putting the phone back in his jacket pocket, "we need to leave now if you want to be on time for school" Harr
"Good morning Mr. Wheeler" The receptionist smiles and greets Harris as he steps off the elevator."Good morning Jenny" he smiles back and walks away heading to his office. "Teagan?" he looks at the empty desk where his assistant is supposed to be "where's-" he looks around and finds her running towards him."Sorry sorry I stopped to get us coffees and spilled them while I was driving" she runs in frantic and out of breath"Are you all right?"She stops in front of him drenched and reeking of coffee "yeah I'm fine- I just probably have whiplash and my lap is on fire but other than that I'm ok""No you're not, take the day off and take care of yourself.""Are you sure I mean you got those cases yesterday""Don't worry about that, I'll see you in the morning""Okay umm is there anything you need me to do before I go?""Actually yeah" he hands her a big yellow envelope "can you get this to Amy and tell her Scott needs them for court this afternoon""Ok can do" she takes them"All right t
"I know I'm late I'm so sorry" Harris picks up as Tan waits in the spot he dropped him off this morning"It's ok, if you're too busy we can have dinner instead""No I'm on my way, I want to see you even if it's for 5 minutes" Tan notices how frantic he sounds"Are you ok Harry?""I'm fine don't worry about me, I'll be there in 20 minutes ok?""Ok no rushing I need you here in one piece""All right" they hang up and Tan continues to wait.Trying to get Sarah Stiles out of his head Harris thinks about Tan.Tanner Milton, just the thought of his name makes Harris smile, the way Tan calls him Harry, Harris has not felt like he did last night in a while. The only person that was ever able to throw Harris out of his element like that was Sarah. Sarah was the one, he knew it, but there are people who use their power selfishly, and Sarah was selfish. She knew her hold over Harris, he fell for her and promised himself to do whatever it took to never be with someone like Sarah Stiles again.Pul
"You made it" Harris opens the door to Tan after his hour ride on the train to the city. "Have you been crying? What's the matter?" Harris quickly notice the redness in Tan's eyes and his long faceWalking in Tan replies "yeah but only for a little bit, I think I realized something tonight" it's something he always knew really"What's that?" Harris shuts the door and walks to Tan taking his duffle and backpack away from him"No matter what I do my parents are never going to care, I lied to them tonight about where I'd be all weekend and instead of grilling me about it they chose to fight. The best part is- or worst depends on who you ask, but the best part is I snuck out! Again! And it was way too easy" he laughs to himself and Harris just watches as he talks "that is the last time I'll mention them in the next 48 hours I promise"Harris and Tan move towards each other and Tan wraps his arms around Harris's neck, and Harris slowly caresses down Tan's back. "Probably not true but you c
Waking up Tan looks over hoping to see Harris, but sees pillows and an empty space instead. He sits up and runs his hand in his eyes to wake him up, Tan grabs his phone looking past the 57 missed calls from his parents he stares at the time. 10:36 am. Tan stands up, walks to the bathroom, and gets ready for the day.Standing in the middle of Harris's giant penthouse alone Tan thinks about searching everything to know more about Harris, but Harris is such a mysterious man Tan might find something he can't unsee.Instead, he walks to the kitchen to find something to eat, wondering around in the kitchen his eyes land on a paper on the counter with his name written in capital letters, TAN. Picking up the paper he unfolds it to find a noteI didn't want to wake you up so I wrote a note instead- Tan smiles -I should be home by 3 so hang in there. Make yourself comfortable you're free to anything, if you need help with anything my doorman Jerry can help, I told him to expect you. Can't wait
