The love that binds us

Untitled Part 19

'I honestly don't know what you see in this ass hat of a human being.' I said to Sen before glaring at Harry and walking down stairs. I continued to try and be a good party host but the night sucked, Tyler came back about thirty minutes later with Tate and Titus and the three of them looked at me, it was midnight and I wanted to go have sex with Tyler and go to bed. Titus was happy to kick everyone out and they all left without trouble. Tyler and I saying we'd clean everything up in the morning. The four of us heading to bed. I lay out on Tyler's chest watching my fingers as they played with his hand.

'I saw Sentarou leaving with Harry.' Tyler said quietly and I smiled. Harry was a jerk and an ass hat but Sen seemed really miserable without him.

'I guess it's okay, I'm annoyed he broke our door.' It was only off the hinges, Titus fixed it in like a minute but still. 'Tyler?' I asked and looked up to him, he looked at me waiting and I bit my bottom lip. 'Why did you pick me? A year ago when you first saw me and decided, why was that?' When I first asked him he didn't know how to respond, his language wasn't developed enough but now, he was the top of his English class. He ran his hand through my hair and looked over my face.

'You were crying the first time I ever saw you, one of the nights your dad beat you. At the time I did not understand my emotions well enough to know why, and when you asked me the first time I said because I liked when you cried. But know that I know how to express what I was feeling.' He paused for a moment and smiled gently. 'It is not that I like it when you cry. I liked the emotions I had when I saw you crying. I was mad, and I wanted to protect you, I wanted to be able to stop you from crying. That is what I liked about seeing you cry and I suppose, going off the story books I have read, it could also be love at first sight.' He smiled and I felt my cheeks warm before I buried my face in his chest so he couldn't see how happily embarrassed I was. 'What is wrong?' He asked and I shook my head that was still plastered against his chest. 'Zach.' He said and I bit my lip and looked up at him. When he saw my face I felt how hard he got underneath me and he flipped us quickly.

'I do not know why but that face you make arouses me.' He said before starting again and I had to cover my mouth for most of it so we didn't annoy Titus and Tate.

Over the next week I noticed that Sen didn't look himself, he seemed happy enough with Harry and they weren't fighting any more but he wasn't eating, Harry seemed to be trying to get him to eat and he was working on it so Tyler told me to leave it only and I did. Tyler managed to make it to most of my football games, which made me want to play better. There were scouts all over the place right now looking for college teams and I just really really wanted to get into a good school. I couldn't stop thinking about Sen though.

'Babe, if you could have seen him in the change room, he looked really sick. Like he's lost a lot of weight.' I said as Tyler sat with his head in my lap reading a book.

'There is not much you can do, Harry seems to be taking care of him, we can not do anything for him, I know you want to help but there is nothing really we can help with.' Tyler said with the book on his chest as he looked up at me. I nodded and ran my hand through his hair.

'I'm just worried.' I said and he sat up, throwing one leg over each side of the under seat and pulling himself over to me.

'I understand, but there is not much for us to do.' He said and I nodded, accepting his kiss which made me feel a little better. Another week passed and he looked like he'd put most of the weight back on but... It was his birthday today, he told me that he and Harry were going camping, just the two of them.

'They're going camping for his birthday.' I said as I watched Tyler pull his shirt over his head as he knelt between my thighs. He hummed as he came down and kissed me, kissing my cheek and neck, staying at my neck as his hands wandering. 'We're not really camping people.' I muttered as I gripped his shoulders tightly as he started nipping, my cohearant though starting to go as it got clouded by lust.

Tyler pulled back suddenly and I looked at him a little dazed.

'We have not celebrated your birthday.' He said seeming a little annoyed and I looked at him a little confused.

'We haven't celebrated yours either.'

'I do not know when your birthday is.' He said before rubbing his hand over his face and looking down at the floor. I knew when his birthday was, only because I'd asked Tate, it wasn't for a few more months, he didn't even really remember birthdays last year so we didn't celebrate.

'It's okay.' He looked at me angrily and I was a little sad that he looked at me like that, usually he never looks at me like that.

'No, it is not okay.' He said and I sat up, my legs were still open and resting over his thighs, I shuffled a little before grabbing his face, his hand gripping my wrist tightly, not quite hurting but getting there.

'Tyler, it's okay, my family never really celebrated my birthday anyway, and we've been busy. Last year we spent it having sex, that was great. I loved that, it's my most favourite birthday I've ever had.'

'When? When is your birthday?' He asked, the anger gone and sadness filling his face.

'April fifth.' I said and he leant over and checked his phone.

'That is one week away. Why did you not tell me?' He said and I shrugged.

'I don't mind, it's just another day to me.' I muttered as I let my fingers play with the hem of his jeans.

'But I want to celebrate it.' He said looking hurt and got up and headed for the door. I madly scrambled for my jeans and ran out after him.

'Tyler, where are you going?'

'I am going for a walk.' He said and walked out the front door, leaving me there standing in the hallway feeling like I'd done something wrong. Had I? I hadn't told him about my birthday, but not on purpose, I just never really thought about it when I was with him, we were just really wrapped up in our own world, plus dad always made my birthday shit anyway.

'Is everything okay?' Tate said coming out of the living room, Titus behind him. I turned and looked at them, Tate looked a little panicked.

'I... He went for a walk.' I said and my throat hurt, and I felt tears start falling and Titus stalked past me and out the door. 'I think I'm going to bed.' I mumbled as I wiped my eyes and walked towards the stairs, Tate walked closer to give me a hug but I shook my head and side stepped him before going up to my room and crawling into bed and crying. I don't understand what I did wrong, is it that important?

I lay there quietly, my eyes sore from crying as I stared at the wall sniffling and still curled in a ball. I heard the door and I rolled over to see Tyler standing there, his jeans were ripped, scratches and blood all over his chest. He walked forward and kicked his shoes off before pulling his jeans off and getting under the blanket with me, he pulled me too him, I started crying again and he held me tightly.

'I am sorry that I hurt you and made you cry.' I sat there quietly as I stopped crying. 'Titus explained to me why you might not want to celebrate your birthday, and I'm sorry, I didn't think about how it might make you upset.' He said into my hair quietly and I kept quiet. 'Zach?' I bit my lip and rolled over. 'Baby.' He said reaching for me and pulled me to his chest. 'I'm sorry, please, I need you.' I bit my lip and rolled over before holding him tightly. I kissed him and it got messy, I cried a lot and even he cried I was actually on top for once, I was still the receiver but usually he dominated me. It was late afternoon Saturday when we woke up, my phone the cause of it. I sat up, Tyler underneath me, a book on my pillow and him still asleep, he stirred a little as I reached for my phone and answered it, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

'Hello?' My voice was hoarse, probably from all the crying last night.
