"Baby...." Caspian called out to Franklin but Frank just stared at him as if he'd not just witnessed such a scene a moment ago. His gaze was sharp.
Caspian felt disappointed, he was disappointed with himself for hurting Franklin like that. He deserved way better. Caspian knew how it felt to be cheated on, it was too much to bare, especially someone you're in love with.
"Franklin..."
"No it's fine. You don't need to explain yourself, he's your husband after all." Franklin said provokingly. It really hurt.
"What are you saying?" Caspian whispered in a small voice.
Franklin just glared. "Get out of my house!" He growled.
"What-?"
"I said you should pack you shit and leave my house, what the fuck are you still standing around for?"
Caspian was stunned. He felt wronged.
There he was thinking of confession his undying love to this man yet the same man didn't trust him enough to access the situation well before judging me harshly.Caspian felt seriously wronged. But he made a move to pack up his shits anyway.
Justice was cheering inside. He felt so damn happy that he couldn't contain the smile that broke on his face. He could finally have Caspian all to himself. He could just take him home and try to rebuild the same home he tiered apart with his own bare hands.
Caspian glared at Justice hatefully.
The fucker had no shame!
As Caspian passed Franklin to get his stuff, he grabbed onto his arm and asked " where are you going?"
"I thought you said-" Caspian began dumbfounded.
"God no! I'll never throw you out of your new home. What? Of course I'll never do that." Franklin said as if he'd been wronged. He couldn't believe Caspian would actually think that lowly of him.
"Unless of course you want to leave then there's nothing I can do, but please stay. Only leave if you want to. It's the least I could do." Franklin finished.
Caspian breathed a sigh of relief.
Franklin turned towards Justice and glared coldly at him, his voice icy, "fuck outta my house."
Justice was stunned. Who'll witness such a scene and still be biased towards one person. But something in Franklin's voice told him to really leave and not provoke the lion while it's patiently waiting.
"I will leave.. Caspian let's go." Justice said seriously.
"Justice I already told you the stand point between us, yet you went ahead and still tried to create a misunderstanding between Franklin and I. Must you really hurt me so badly before you realize the damage you've caused me? Why can't I be happy? Don't I deserve happiness?" Caspian said as tears filled his eyes. He was so exhausted of everything. It hurt too much.
Justice being there reminded him of the betrayal he once felt when he still loved him. He sat lifelessly on the bed, he felt tired.
Franklin didn't comfort him, neither did he say anything. He wanted them to clear this up so Justice could leave. If it was up to him then he'd throw Justice out and give him a good beating and explain himself later. So he simply stood there with crossed arm and glared coldly at Justice with so much hatred.
"You deserve happiness Casp. That's why I want you to come with me. I want to do right by you, I want to make you really happy. I want to make up for all the times I've missed out during our marriage. I refuse to believe that my Caspian could be as stone cold as to not forgive me. Can't you see how much I still love you? I still want you Caspian, my body craves you and I know you crave me too, because your body reacted to me in the same way it always did. Please let me make up for all my mistakes. Please" Justice plead.
"So you agree I deserve happiness? So why can't you accept my choices and free me? It's too late Justice, I waited for 5 whole years for you to look at me the same way I did, but it didn't happen. I'm not your Caspian anymore, can't you accept that? I do forgive you because in other to completely fall in love again, I need to free that burden from my heart and open it up whole heartedly to the next person. You don't love me. This isn't love, you're simply obsessed with guilt. I get it, I've forgiven you. As for my body reacting to you, it's a habit I'd grown accustomed to for the past 5 years. You've been the only man to ever touch my body so of course it reacted to you, but you have to admit, I thought it was Franklin, because whether in my dream state or consciousness only Franklin exist. Please just go home." Caspian finished with a small voice yet spoke very seriously.
Justice wanted to refued against him but then he couldn't anymore. Because indeed, Caspian did mumble the bastards name. He loved Caspian but indeed he felt way too guilty to accept that he couldn't make him happier. He felt like the worst person on earth after hurting the most beautiful kind hearted person he ever saw.
Back when he Caspian had agreed to marry him, he knew it was because Caspian was compromising due to guilt yet he felt like the most luckiest guy in the world. He'd loved him so much but since he'd been the first man to ever touch Caspians body, he felt resistance each time they made love. Because Caspian couldn't fully submit to him. Diego however was truly submissive. So when he touched him, he didn't hold back. That's why he could completely loose himself in Diego, he looked at him like his prey therefore feeling really protective and territorial of him.
But Caspian challenged him in every aspect. When it came to money, he had more than Justice, when it came to submitting he couldn't fully accept it. When it came to body, he was almost there with him. He didn't make him feel like his dominant self. Even though Caspian sacrificed more, he let himself go just for the sake Justice yet he couldn't accept the little resistance. Therefore, there was always this look of distain towards him, completely overshadowing the pure love he actually felt for him. So Caspian felt he didn't love him as much.
It all made sense now. Justice looked like someone had just kicked his already dying puppy.
Caspian stood up and walked towards him. He held onto Justice's shoulder and smiled a little bit. This was a meaningful smile. Signaling that he had truly forgiven him.
"We loved each other Justice, but we're not meant to be. You can't be yourself around me, neither can I. We always hold back towards each other. That's not right." Caspian said.
Tears welled up in Justices eyes. "But that's what love is, isn't it, we compromise for each other. We make up for each other's strengths." He said in a choked up voice.
"Shhhhhhh." Caspian whispered as he kissed Justice on the cheek. And gave him a fierce hug. Causing Justice to completely break down and cry.
"God. I love you. I love so much. But you're right. We don't deserve each other. I hurt you so bad and I'm so fucking sorry Caspian. I can't believe I did all that to you. Oh God I'm a terrible person. I was so blinded by guilt that I hurt you even more. I'm horrible! I'll never forgive myself for ever hurting you my love. You meant the world to me Caspian. But I hurt you." Justice cried.
"Shhhh. It's okay darling. You're not terrible. I understand. I guess it's human behavior. You'll always have a special place in my heart Justice, cause you were my first love. You were my everything but I love Franklin now. And I hope you accept it and be happy so that I can also be happy." Caspian said soothingly.
"I accept. I'll accept everything as long as you're happy. You mean the most to me Caspian." Justice said as he peppered Caspians shoulder, cheeks, eyes and nose with sweet sloppy kisses. Missing his lips because he didn't want to upset Franklin any further.
"Thank you so much sweet pea!" Caspian said with a contented laugh.
Causing Justice to bust into a fit of laughter despite himself. He hated that name and Caspian knew that.
"I told you not to call me that. I'm way bigger than you.""You'll always be my sweet pea."
Soon they let go of each other and wiped their tears away.
Justice left to pack his bag to leave. Leaving the two couple in their bedroom alone.
One with relief and one with complex emotions.
