Lucas;

“You…You love me?” He questions in a broken whimper, and I nod.

He bursts into tears, and I pull him to myself. Hugging him as I hold him. I know this is a relief to him as he feels Sal doesn’t love him.

He feels unwanted… unloved. But I’d be damned if I’m only saying this to soothe him. Perhaps it took being bedridden for almost a month and only ever looking forward to his visit every day to realise that I love him.

Even though we never talk when he comes around, it’s still so soothing. So reliving to just have him around.

I want to love him, hold him… keep him safe. I want to wipe every tear from his eyes and make up for all the ones he’s cried in the past.

I have no idea how someone can be so peaceful… so perfect… so innocent. But David is all those things. A subtle but powerful magnet that calls to my soul. A call and pull so strong I can not ignore.

I love him.

I love David.

It’s crazy to be in love with the person I know my best friend loves, but I love David. And I’m n

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   142 - Bring The Floor To My Knees

    David;I lie hopelessly on the floor. Mrs. Lana had to leave cause she didn’t want Sal to find her outside the room. For the past half an hour, I’ve been trying to break out of this room. The fucking windows won’t budge. Not even the ones in the bathroom. And the lock won’t budge.I’m stuck. I curl further into myself as I listen to the silence of the house and the mumbled voices of the guards and men outside and about the house. I listen to the ocean crash and moan softly in the distance, and I shut my eyes. Trying to find peace or bearing or anything in the emptiness of this room, which I’ve realised is Sal’s childhood bedroom. I look at the anime posters on the wall, and my eyes land on a table with a heap of comic books on it. I sigh for the umpteenth time as I look away, and then I see something.The edge of a dusty, red leather-bound book peeked out from behind one of the table’s legs. I sit up cautiously and crawl over to it. What… is that?Curiosity gets the better of me,

    SONG FOR THIS CHAPTER: I Miss You By Adele Lucas;“I… I don’t want to lose him…” He whispers, and I roll my eyes in exasperation.“Yeah? How’s that playing out?!” I demand, and he gives no answer. “Sal, David loves you. You know that. And it’s almost like you take advantage of that love to do whatever you want. If it were anyone else, you know they’d bolt.” I state matter-of-factly, and he stares up at me with wide eyes.“I’m not taking advantage of him…”“Then you’re playing with his emotions. It’s almost like you refuse to realise how much he loves you. Sal, I’m convinced David would give his life for you without a second thought. Yet, you called his love shallow. Why are you blind to see when the people around you care?” I demand, and tears slide down his face as he looks away. “I’m not worthy…” He whispers, and I scoff.“Well, right now, you’re acting like you’re not!” I scold, and he looks up at me. His eyes are so red, I’m scared he might lose his sight.They already looked r

    Salvatore;“I just… I just want to go away. I won’t piss you off again. I won’t get in Lucas’s bed. I won’t tell you I love you anymore… I won’t make you angry anymore… I… I’ll leave. Please let me go…” I groan as the words reply in my head. My chest is so tight that it feels like my heart is not beating anymore. I can't breathe.I fucked up.I freaking fucked up and I kept making it worse.I’ve gone too far… I’ve lost him. There’s nothing I can do to salvage this. If I let him out of that room, he is going to run away.If I keep him there, I’m giving him enough time to hate me more.What have I done??I crouch down and hold my head in frustration as the fear in his voice and eyes torment me. What was I thinking, talking to him like that? Kissing him like that? Behaving the way I did??I've ruined everything. He's never going to look at me the same again… he's never going to forgive me.“Goddamnit!” I hear Lucas groan from his room, and my head snaps up. What’s wrong with him? Di

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   139 - Further Apart 1

    David;I stopped screaming when I realised he wasn’t going to listen. I watch silently as we get to a room in the restricted area of the house. He grabs a key from above the doorframe, unlocks the door, and carries me in. He walks over to the bed, drops me on it, and walks back to the door. He shuts it with the key, and I watch with a hammering heart as he puts the key into one of his pockets.“I know you’ll hate me,” He says quietly, walking over to one of the windows.He doesn’t look at me. He pulls the curtains open, revealing the starry night far beyond the hellish chaos of the past few minutes.“I know you’ll most likely see me as a monster…” he adds, voice trembling.He switches on the fan, and I can’t tear my eyes off him.“But I can’t let you go, David.” He adds with his voice trembling like he hates himself for it… and staring at him, I don’t know what or how to feel.“I don’t deserve you… But I can’t let go. I know you love Lucas and… I know you want to leave me, but I… I…

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   138 - You Will Not Leave Me

    Lucas;“I want to leave. I don’t… I don’t want to stay here anymore.” Time freezes when I hear the words leave David’s mouth. Not just because he said it, but the way he said it. The fear in his eyes… The fear in his voice. He means it. He doesn’t want to stay here anymore. This isn’t anger. It’s fear.David has developed fear for Sal. My heart breaks as I watch them—the frightful way David is shaking and staring at Sal, and the way Sal’s eyes darken at the words. “Please… I… I don’t want to stay here anymore…” David repeats, and I shut my eyes as the words drive a rod through my heart. Sal has fucked everything up. “David…”I watch Sal try to touch David, and David shudders as he presses himself harder into the wall, as if trying to disappear. It won’t make sense for me to say a thing now. Sal had ruined things, and if I try to interject now, it will come across as me trying to be a messiah in the situation.“David, you don’t mean that… I… I’m sorry. You don’t really mean it.

    David;“You know, initially, I thought you loved Lucas AND me. I thought that just like me, maybe you had feelings for the both of us. But how wrong was I?! We had a misunderstanding, you gave me a chance to Caplin myself to you and less than 20 minutes later, you’re in my best friend’s room kissing him! Is that how shallow all the ‘I love you’s you told me are?!”My heart stops beating as Sal’s words pierce through me like a sword to my heart.“Salvatore!” Lucas yells, but Sal glares at him.“I did stay out of this, Lucas!” “I was right not to trust you, yeah!? You were just gonna up and leave me anyway, weren’t you?! You didn’t even mind it being my best friend!” Sal yells at me, and I feel tears blur my eyes as I look at him.Why is he talking to me like this? He’s making me feel like some cheap, cheating whore… “Sal, you’re getting it…” I try to reason with him.“Did you ever love me?!” He yells further, and I shoot to my feet. “Don’t talk like that! You know I do!”“No, I do

    Lucas;I hear the door open, and I know it’s David. I waited days for Sal to come, but he didn’t. I’ve sent texts, calls, but he hasn’t replied to any or come here. I’m scared David will leave before I get a chance to tell Sal. So… I’ll talk to David today. Hopefully , find a way to convince him not to leave…A way to tell that… I need him.I feel him sit beside me, and he gently brushes my hair with his fingers. “You’re always asleep when I come in.” He whispers, and I stay as still as possible. “I wish I could talk to you. But… After all I’ve done to you, I don’t think I can.” He adds, and my ears pick up the sadness in his voice. Why is he sad? There’s silence for a while, but I do not dare open my eyes. “I’m leaving tonight. Sal’s a jerk, and I can not stay another minute with him.” He says, and my heart stops. “You won’t believe that he suspected… or even still suspects me of ratting him out to Dimitri. He’s been avoiding me, because… He thought I was working with Dimitri. Th

    David;“That’s a spyware. It lets someone watch your screen in real-time… every click, every word. Similar to what you have on my phone, but more advanced.” I explain, and he gives me a look, causing me to roll my eyes.“You really didn't think I wouldn't find out that you had my phone bugged, did you?” I add, and his mouth falls open. He closes it, but opens it again. Speechless.I don't expect an explanation or justification. I understand his line of work. I was new, and he… maybe didn't trust me then…Or he just liked to be nosy. I don't know… and I'm not sure I care about it. It’s not important.What is important is figuring out who's behind this.“Sal, someone's been in here. This spyware was downloaded onto your laptop. Probably through a flash drive or something. Someone had access to this. Allowing Dimitri to monitor every single thing you've done on here since… who knows how long?” I inform him to change the topic, and he blinks at me in silence. “Sal?”I watch him blink l
