  "He tried to kill himself?" Connor asked as his heart dropped, why didn't James mentioned it?. The young guy looked and saw how James's sister nudged her mother. Connor can clearly tell that it should have been a private topic, and so he started wondering "Maybe she just gotten carried away?".

 "Kill himself? no he did not try... he won't ever try" his sister replied, trying to salvage what just happened.

 "Alright then" the young guy replied as he tried to smile. Connor knows that he has to talk to James about it, there's no way he will let this one go. After a few more minutes of waiting, he finally saw the young teacher walk down the stairs. James quickly smiled at Connor and so the young guy did the same.

 "Can I borrow this stud?" James asked his family and after they nodded, he led Connor out into the backyard.

 As soon as the two were alone, Connor was asked by James about his first impression on his family. "I thought they were really sweet ... very accommodating and they love you very much" the young lad replied as he wrapped his arms around James.

 "They did not tell you any secrets of mine?" the young teacher asked in a whispering manner. Connor's heart started beating fast, how is he gonna ask him about his mother's revelation?.

 "Actually they did"

 "What is it?"

 "I'm gonna tell you but please don't be mad at them"

 "I won't , I promise"

 "They told me you tried to kill yourself  before"

 James's heart dropped, but he's not entirely surprised that his mother will say something like that to Connor. She can get carried away pretty fast. The young teacher just took a deep breath before telling Connor that what they said is true.

 James looked at the young guy's reaction and saw how shocked it is.

 "Why? and how?"

 "It was at the darkest stage of my life"

 "Then tell me everything about it" Connor uttered.

 "What for?" James asked.

 "James ... if we're gonna be together I want to know every single thing about you"

 "Fine ... where?"

 "What where?" the young guy asked.

 "Where are we gonna talk?"

 James watched as Connor pointed towards the gazebo. "Seriously?" he asked. And as soon as the young lad nodded, they started walking towards that direction.

 One Connor and James reached the gazebo , the young teacher started talking. "It happened during that time Melissa took Mason away from me. And then my father .. I really don't remember much"

 "Oh come on James , I'm sure you remember a lot of things .... you're 23 , not 63"

 "I tried my best to forget about it" James answered in defense.

 "Alright then ... but please, continue"

 "Okay ... so yes it was a very depressing time ..."

 Connor couldn't help but feel sad as James went on with his story, no one deserves what he went through. According to the young teacher, it happened about 5 years ago ... that time when Melissa suddenly vanished with their unborn baby. That alone can bring an adult man down to his knees ... what made things worst for James is his own father.

 James mentioned how his Dad almost forced him to join the military as a way to make him straight. The young teacher revealed that his father was homophobic, although he changed a lot  ... there is still a part of him that despises anything that he doesn't think is normal. Unfortunately, James is one of them. 

 As soon as Connor saw a tear erupt from his eyes, he asked James to stop. The young guy got up and hugged him as tight as he could while repeatedly saying the words "I love you".

 "I love you too" James replied as he buried his face on the younger lad's shoulder.

 What happened between Tris and Brad definitely blurred some lines in their friendship. But much to his surprise, he's not mad. Tris is not mad that it happened, he's just scared that someone else might find out about it.

 Actually, as much as he doesn't want to admit it ... he liked getting head from a guy. There is something about the thought of being superior that excites Tris. It makes him feel things that he never felt before.

 "Dude here's the beer" Brad said as he sat down beside him. The blonde haired lad got the battle and took a sip right away.

 "Are you sure your parent's won't mind?" Tris asked.

 "As long as we don't tell them" curly replied and so they both laughed. There is really something about Brad that makes him irresistible, Tris doesn't know what it is ... but he sure does wanna find out.

 After a few moment, Tris saw Brad pull out a picture from his pocket. He watched as the curly haired lad smiled while looking at it.

 "What's that?" Tristan asked as he tried to get the picture.

 "It's a secret" Brad replied before grinning at him.

 The blonde haired lad then took a quick move and was able to snatch the picture out of Brad's hand. Curly tried his best to get it but ended up on top of him instead.

Tristan's eyes widened after realizing what's going on, he looked at curly and felt the familiar tension once again. Much to his surprise, he leaned in and kissed Brad on the lips.

 "Dude" Brad whispered before kissing him back. Tris then let go of the picture and placed both of his hands on the curly haired lad's back.

 "Kiss me Bradley"
