David sat in his closet thinking about the past year.
𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛.
It's been a whole year since Michael Cruz was murdered. Michael was a man who lived in two different worlds. He was a known man around New York but he also had a dark side. One that dealt with trouble.
And finally all that trouble was his ultimate demise. One faithful night, Michael was gunned down outside a restaurant and killed. Leaving behind his husband, David.
𝙳𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚍 was still heartbroken. He decided to sell their multimillion dollar home. It was too many painful memories for him in this house.
"Hey D, you wanna get some food? I know you haven't eaten," Ethan, his brother said
"Sure," David said
"Good. Um have you seen what they're saying about Michael? They're saying he was involved in some illegal shit and that's why he was killed," Ethan said
"That's bullshit. Michael would never," David said
"I still can't believe he's gone," Ethan said
"Yea," David said quietly
The two men left the house and headed to the first restaurant they saw.
Burger King.
As they entered, David couldn't help but think about what Ethan said. He knew that Michael wasn't a criminal. They had been together for years and not once did David question Michael.
But then again, Michael had a very good way of keeping up appearances.
"Yo, tonight we're going out. Tyler and the boys got us VIP at some club. You need to get some alcohol in your system and have fun," Ethan said excitedly
"Ok but only because I don't wanna be in the house crying like every night," David said

The club was packed like always but the atmosphere was different. David couldn't quite tell but he knew that something was gonna happen tonight. As he was with his friends talking and drinking, that's when he saw 🅗🅘🅜.
𝔇𝔞𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔞𝔫 𝔍𝔦𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔢𝔷
He was tall, athletically built, chains dangling around his neck, tattoos showing like a piece of art, hair freshly braided. His outfit consisted of a fitted white tee, black jeans and blue and white Louis Vuitton sneakers. To top it off, he a matching jacket that went with the LV shoes. He had an aura that gave off confidence, dominance and power.
David felt a jolt of electricity shoot through him as their eyes met. Darrian's gaze was intense, assessing him like he was the only one in the room. It sent a wave of warmth through David, igniting a flicker of something he hadn't felt in a long time.
"David who are you looking at? Oh I see. That's Darrian Jimenez," Tyler said
"Who?" David asked looking away
"You never heard of him? Sure Michael has brought him up before," Tyler said
"Nope, never heard of him," David said
"Go over there David. It's been a long time since you had some dick," Aaron laughed
"Fuck you," David laughed
But he got up anyway and headed to the bar. As he approached the bar, Darrian was right there ordering a drink.
"David Cruz. Funny seeing you here," Darrian said
"Why you say that?" David asked
"𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. It's just I know about what happened to your husband," Darrian said
"Did you know Michael?" David asked
"No. I just heard his tragic story," Darrian said looking around
David thought back at what Tyler said but thoughts were quickly interrupted when Darrian took his hand.
"You don't need to be here. Let's step outside. I know you want some fresh air," Darrian said
"Ok," David said
Darrian led David to the exit. They stood outside in the chilly New York air.
"Breathe David," Darrian chuckled
"Sorry it's just I haven't been around another man like this before," David said
"I ain't tryna do no sneaky shit. I know that nigga Michael was special to you," Darrian said
"He was my everything," David admitted
"What about you?" Darrian asked
"What?" David asked
"What about David? You gotta live your life David. I ain't tryna be Michael but I can tell you not living your life," Darrian said
David knew Darrian was right. He just didn't know what to do.
They stood there, looking deep into each other's eyes. Darrian took a step closer, letting his hand do whatever. His hand gently grabbed David's chin and pressed his lips against David's. David kissed back and felt sparks everywhere. He wrapped his arms around Darrian as he was feeling that same feeling he had with Michael.
When they parted, Darrian fished out his keys.
"You coming?" Darrian asked
"Yea," David said nodding his head
Maybe it was the alcohol or the fact that David hadn't got any dick in a while but he was ready for the rest of the night.
Darrian looked over at David, he smiled to himself. He got the one man that was off limits. The one man who was deemed untouchable in New York.
"Damn," Darrian whispered to himself proudly
"You sure you never knew who Michael was?" David asked
"No," Darrian said tensing up
He tried his best to avoid any questions that had to deal with the famous Michael Cruz.
