I LOVE YOU.

Chapter: 10.

****

"You're going back with me."

Steven wasn't expecting David to say that, Steven sat up and threw him a glance, with that eyes begging him not to go, David knew that face, but he wouldn't change his mind, having to deal with David almost took his life and now going back there to face Raya could kill him.

"Don't tell me you wouldn't come to my house again, even when I have your little niece and nephews?" David asked.

"Hey! I- I didn't say that, David."

"But you looked that way."

"Well, maybe a little, I just thought if it was the right thing to do at this point, knowing what I just told you."

"You can't love my wife Steven, you have to come back home with me, that is the only way we can solve this problem."

"P-problem? I don't have a problem."

"Yes, you do Steven, a big big problem, that we need to take care of."

"Fine! Whatever floats your boat." Steven whispered that last part.

"What did you just say?"

"N-nothing, I didn't say anything."

David was hovering above Steven now, his hands pinning Steven down on the soft bed. Steven opened his eyes to look up at David, he was really close to Steve that he could literally feel David's harsh breaths on his face and it felt so warm. Steven closed his eyes and inhaled David's wonderful scent that was all him. This feels so good, those deep greens piercing into Steven's soul, that beautiful full sexy lips, David's killer smile. Steven may be a little bigger than he is but David is much stronger, and Steven loves it when David dominates him like this. Steven opened his eyes to look at David's deep green once again, and at where David's hands joined with his, holding Steven in place. Steven just realized he wasn't struggling to get free from him, in fact, he was doing the contrary. Steven was enjoying the feel of David's eyes burning marks into his very being, the warm air coming out from within David, his hands pinning Steven down, dominating him.

It felt good.

Warm.

A-and...

Oh! God, no. What is happening to me? Steven looked into David's eyes one last time and he felt it. The strangest yet best feelings of his entire life. Steven pushed David off of him and ran into the bathroom, locking himself in, a quick look at his crotch, a gasp escaped Steven as he reached for it. This had to be the hardest boner he's ever spotted in forever.

Now it all made sense, he wasn't in love with Raya.

NEVER.

He was in love with, HIM.

This can't be.

When Steven had looked into Raya's eyes he thought he was in love, but that had only hidden the truth of what it really was, what he actually felt was jealousy. Jealousy to the fact that she had him and he didn't. She gets to kiss him and do things to him that he couldn't. Jealousy to the fact that he knew David loves her in ways David would probably never love him. When Steven looked into Raya's eyes he wanted to be her, to be loved by him, to be kissed by those lips, to be held in those arms.

I'm crazy, I have to be. First Raya, now David. I sure do have a death wish. I can't feel this way for him, No! It's wrong so very wrong.

I am so dead.

Sitting on the bathroom cold floor, Steven cursed and swore and whatnot. He wanted to die, to let the grounds open and swallow him whole. Tears streaming down his face. Steven heard David knocking, but he wouldn't open up for him.

"Steven open up or I'm breaking this door down, if you think I am letting you run away from me again, you've got another thing coming."

Steven knew he meant it, one more minute and his door would come crashing down before his eyes, Steven stood up and opened the door, standing face to face with the one man who is going to be his undoing and eventual course his death. Steven knew right then that his whole life was over.

"What was the meaning of that?"

Words are far gone from Steven, seeing as he couldn't speak.

"Steven?"

Steven looked up at David and he felt the warmness on his face.

Great, now he's going to see me cry again.

"What is happening to us?" David asked.

Steven pushed past him and climbed onto his bed, hugging his fluffy white pillow to his chest and crying into it.

"Steven please stop," David begged and climbed in bed with Steven. "Look at me, Steven." He ordered.

And Steven did. Turned around and faced him, eye to eye, chest to chest. He was a dead man already, what more is there to lose.

"Tell me please, no more lies."

"I-I-I L-love y-you, David."

"I know and I do too."

"Y-you don't understand D, look at me I'm dying. I love you, not just love you but really love you. I'm in love with you."

David was looking at him, a little bit confused at first, then it hit him. He jumped from the bed and started pacing the room.

"Now you understand." Steven whisper cried.

David threw a glance at him, tears in his eyes, and he walked to the door and left. The echoing of the banged door was the only music playing in Steven's head. David is gone. Never coming back. It's all over.

No friend.

No brother.

No family.

Steven was all alone. It would have been better if he was in love with Raya, but now it's much worse. There's no way he's ever telling his mother about this. She wanted grandkids and Steven may have just turned out to be the world's most useless only son ever. David's mother wouldn't want to hear from him either.

Now he knows why he's been all alone his whole life. His heart already made its choice only he was just too naive to have noticed and understood, until now.

It's official, I'm a dead man.
