"You- what?" Isaac asked, his breath still eratic as his chest heaved.

"I think I love you, man...you're just so easy to love. Ive been trying to keep it out of my mind every time we've had sex but it's so hard when you're staring straight at me like that..." Nick replied, his sense of euphoria quickly dwindling with every heavy breath.

What'd he mean? Stare at him like what? Was that supposed to be romantic or something?

"You're so corny." Teased Isaac, finding the strength to pull out of Nick. He was so warm and tight inside, so the cold air that surrounded him and attacked his pale hilt made him shiver and turn an impossibly lighter shade of white. The older gripped the bed as Isaac started to pull out, leaving his hole gaping and begging to be filled back up.

So...what now? He had gone through months of suffering, being thrown around by Nick and used like a personal flesh light, and now all the sudden he loved him? It's not like he was complaining, but...he had gone through so much with this man child, and apparently his feelings decided to hit him like a two-tonne truck, speeding down the highway? No. No way.

"So...you're saying you like me?" Isaac asked.

"Uh- yeah? At least I think so?."

"You THINK so? So you just used me until you felt like you needed me again? Because thats what I'm getting here."

They awkwardly pulled away from each other before going through the terrifying, but much needed, aftercare.

"You know how much stuff I tried to get you to love me back? I took you on a date. I even gave you my body to HAVE and it wasn't enough. All I needed to do was...what, fuck you hard enough to have you think straight?" Isaac ranted, shuffling through his clean basket of fresh laundry in hopes of finding a clean towel.

Nick was silent for what felt like an eternity, his carping eyes prolonging the bonfire of rage, hurt, rejection, and betrayal that boiled and bubbled inside of Isaacs stomach. The nerve of him to just sit and stare as Isaac cleaned up after him, as always.

"Isaac...it's not like that. You know that, right? Please, – tell me you know that." The latter responded to the scolding he had gotten, his cheeks puffing up and turning red out of embarrassment.

Isaac grunted silently, annoyed at the sound of Nicks prodding voice. Sometimes, Isaac just wanted a moment to genuinely talk with Nick for the first time in forever. – Well, it sure as hell felt like forever.

He could feel his hands tighten around the fresh towel he used to gently wipe off the liquid off of Nicks thighs. Nick had instilled so much anger in this man, but still trusted him to wipe him clean and coddle him after a rough session of late-night activities. In five seconds, Isaac could kill this man. But...Nick let him gently blot the semen off of his skin, his long fingers pressing its dull nails into the cloth.

"Isaac?"

"Shut up! Just...shut up man." Isaac shouted, almost flinching at his own voice.

"I- I know its not like that. I just feel...used. You haven't even had a regular conversation with me in months. Its like you hate me, or something." Admitted the boy, gently dropping the towel beside Nick.

He grabbed a change of underwear from the stack of freshly folded clothes on the nightstand, yanking them on and laying down right next to the Latter.

They just...looked at each other for a moment. For the first time, Isaac saw something in Nicks eyes that he had preyed for every night before he slept. It was something deeper than lust. – something deeper than desire.

It was love.

For the first time, Nick lovingly ran his fingers through Isaacs hair. He didn't tug. He didn't pull. He just gently ran his long fingers through, letting them swim through the mess of hair on Isaacs hair.

"Im...really sorry, Isaac. Im- not good at this comforting stuff, so thats all i've got." The shorter said sheepishly.

It didn't seem to matter, though. That was all he needed.

He just needed confirmation.

Confirmation that he had finally crossed that fine line.
