Niko and Aj had officially been together for just over 5 months, and everything was going quite smoothly. Yes they got into a few minor disagreements here and there, But in the end it was never anything too serious. Usually they were about Alyah, and how Niko was spending excess time with her, to which Niko argued he had to for their plan to work. In Aj's eyes an hour every two weeks was enough, and he didn't need to text her all the time.
Niko looked after Aj. He made sure, after the last incident, he took his medication, ate and as far as he knew, Aj had stopped cutting and smoking. Aj let him believe that knowing Niko felt better, thinking that. He had stopped the smoking, unless he was with Zayden, he'd take one from her, but that was it. The cutting was always masked with concealer, which he had spent excessive amounts of money on. One time Niko found the parcel, and opened it finding a stock of the concealer Aj had ordered. Aj played it off, claiming they were Zayden's for when she came over.
As for their plan, they hadn't got very far with it. All the boys had discussed ideas, but none of them were sure on what to do. They were all sat in the cinema room, having yet another discussion about what they're going to do. Whenever Alyah came over Niko made sure Aj was upstairs, or at least in his own room. They would argue and Aj couldn't bare to see Niko with his arm wrapped around another girl.
"I say we just get rid of her completely. Forget everything," Niko was starting to get pissed off. He didn't like having to hold another person, when he had his Aj, who to his surprise was strangely silent in the conversation.
"Guys we need to look at the bigger picture here, we need to know why Aj's dad is here, and what he wants before it's too late. I know, we all want her gone, she's a bitch, but if she's gone we have nothing."
"Guys, I have an idea, but you may not like it..." Sharky begins, "We need to us AJ as bait. If we put Aj in a position where Alyah or his dad can get to him, we may be able to figure out what he wants with Aj before anything bad happens. They must be planning something big if its been years."
"No. No. I refuse. We aren't putting Aj in danger, not if I can help it,"
After a while of back and forth arguing between the five boys, Aj finally speaks out, voice barely above a whisper.
"I'll do it."
They all pause the conversation and stare at him.
"What." Niko deadpans.
"I'll do it." Aj repeats. His voice was stuck, he felt like he couldn't say anything other than that until he hears what Niko has to say. He looks at Niko for confirmation. The boys realised Aj does that. Whenever anyone asks him a question or he's making a decision, he looks to Niko to decide for him, to define his decision. It wasn't a sense of he was scared to upset Niko, it was more he is a very confident person, and can speak for himself, but liked giving control to other people sometimes.
"Nope. Nuh Uh. I refuse." Niko says. No way was he putting Aj in that position.
Aj turns to look at Niko, "Niko I need to. I need him out of my life for good. I'm scared all the time. I can't go out alone. Tell me, when was the last time I was even home alone. Heck, I haven't slept alone in months. I'm scared in my own fucking house. I can't do it anymore. Even the fans have noticed, they keep saying why have I become so shy recently. I need to know what he wants. I want to live again. Sometimes," He pauses to take a breath he had tears pouring down his face, he genuinely couldn't take it anymore. Life was too much. " Sometimes I wished I died that day. Maybe everything would be alright you know, I wouldn't be a burden to you guys, and wouldn't have to put you all in this position."
No one knew what to say, Aj wasn't too good at hiding his feelings, but they had no clue he was living like this.
Niko hated this completely, he didn't want to put Aj in danger. He didn't know what to say, everything was too much.
"Aje, I'm so sorry. We had no idea. And don't EVER think you're a burden to us, ever. We love you so much, You're our brother Aj." Kenny says
Aj nods, "I love you guys too, and I get that. I don't blame any of you for not realising, I hid it quite well, I'd like to say. But uhm, we need a plan, and Sharky is the only one with something valid."
"As much as I hate to say it, Sharkys right. It may not be the best plan, but its what we need to do. We all need to be on board for this to work. Niko, I understand you don't to put Aj in that position, but neither do we. No one wants to see Aj get hurt, but if he's willing to do it, this may be the only way" Chunkz agrees.
Niko turns his head to look at Aj, he couldn't bear to look at him as he spoke. Aj puts his hands on Niko's face forcing the eye contact.
"Nik, I know you hate this. Trust me, if there was any other way I would do it. Something needs to be done. And we can't do it without you. Please Niko, do it for me," Aj ends his sentence in a whisper.
"Fine. I hate this. But Fine. I'm only doing this for you" Niko nods, he'll do this for Aj. Every thing he does is for the man sitting beside him.
"Thank you," Aj whispers. He turns slightly to cuddle into Nikos side, Niko wraps his arm around his shoulders pulling him closer. He places a kiss to the op of his head, rubbing his hand up and down his arm.
"So what's the plan,"
"So first things first..." Sharky begins.
They feed off each other to devise the perfect plan.
"And thats exactly what we're going to do."

Also, I definitely haven't forgotten about Aj's singing stuff, I just have a bigger idea for that.
