PAST:
It had been two months since Christmas, and everything was going great between Ray and Jason. Everything that happened during the holiday season brought them closer. With the confession of love, their bond was stronger than ever. Also, with an expanded sexual horizon, they couldn't keep their hands off of each other.
It was the weekend, and Jason was cooking. Since he was just in his underwear, Ray couldn't control himself. He wrapped his hands around Jason and starting biting on his neck. Jason could feel something hard poking his back.
"Hey, Stallion. Do you know what day it is?" Jason asked.
"No, why?"
"It's an even day, Ray. My turn."
"Oh, no. No! Please, can't we break the rules this once?" Ray whined.
"They are your rules. And, you didn't let me break them, so... Naked on the bed, now."
"Fuck, okay. I'll have my revenge later."
"Wait," Jason said, ignoring Ray's tantrum. "Give me that," he said and pulled the tie from Ray's hair. "I'll put that to better use."
"Aww, my hair! I am in trouble, ain't I?"
"So much trouble, baby boy," Jason said with a devilish grin on his face.
After Jason wore Ray out, he squeezed some fresh juice for the both of them. According to Ray, that was the best way to rehydrate and replenish what the male body loses during sex. It all didn't make much sense to Jason, but he complied nonetheless.
"So, you got any perverted plans for St. Patrick's Day?" Jason asked.
"Of course! I was thinking..." Before Ray could finish, Jason's phone started ringing. Jason was on the call for a while. "Who was it?" Ray asked when Jason hung up.
"It was Devon...we used to learn kickboxing together. He said that Mr. Credins is being hospitalized."
"Your kickboxing coach, right?"
"Yes. He's very sick. I should go visit him," Jason said.
"Yes, you should."
"But, I'll miss St. Patrick's Day. You've been looking forward to it for so long."
"It isn't above Mr. Credins, J. You should go. Don't worry about me," said Ray.
"You are the best boyfriend ever."
"I know."

It was the morning after St. Patrick's Day or rather noon. Someone knocked on Ray's door. Ray slugged out of bed and opened the door. It was Harley.
"You look like shit. What happened to you?" Harley asked.
"Nothing. I'm still hungover," said Ray.
"Go, take a shower. Raven called us to hang out at Hayden Hall."
Forty minutes later, both guys entered Hayden Hall's lounge. Ray was in no mood to talk or hang out with anyone. He was still hurting from what he had done. All he could think about was how Jason's heart would break when he'd tell him. But as he didn't want anyone to know about what he'd done, he put on a smile and acted normal.
