The Big Reveal

Evan POV
Jonathan let out a deep breath "after my parents died, the funeral took a toll for Luke and I. We didn't have much money to begin with, so Luke had to drop out school to get a job to pay off the bills and keep the house.....When Craig and I got accepted to the same college, I was happy, but I was worried. Luke didn't make enough to pay for college, and we could only get but so much financial aid. I got this job and I earn enough money for the next 2 years...." he trailed off.

"What was the job?"

"I....Luke wasn't happy about the job. I mean who would, but I promise him it was only temporary just to pay for college."

"Jon, what was the job?"

He hesitated "you ever heard of Cockatoos?"

"The gay strip bar?" He slowly nodded. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, but then it hit me. "You used worked there?" I nodded again. "I'm assuming you as a stripper since bartenders don't get paid as much" I whispered.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I-I was afraid you wouldn't want me anymore" he sniffed.

"No, Jon" I wiped his tears away and pulled him in my lap. "You had a legitimate reason. Do you know how people make the same decision for that reason. It was in the past. It doesn't change who you are. You're still the one I fell in love with."

"Really?"

"Of course, I will always love you. Together forever is what we promised each other right?"

"Yeah, I remember" he flashed a small smile. I pulled in for a short passionate kiss.

"No more secrets okay? We tell each other everything no matter okay?"

He nodded "okay."

Time Skip to Later on (lol idk)

Craig POV
A few minutes later after Evan left, there was knocked on the door. I sighed getting up to throw the tissues away before answering the door. My eyes widened "Tyler?" He looked like shit. His eyes were blood shot red, his hair was mess, and his shirt was wrinkled.

"Can we talk?" I nodded and stepped aside to let him in. He sat on my bed twindling his thumbs. I sat next to him leaving a little space between us. "Craig I'm.....I'm so sorry. I know I fucked up badly." He let out a harsh laugh. "I hated to admit that I was scared but I was. When I found out I had this 'problem'......I lost all of my friends. They thought I was freak. Evan was the only who stood by me. Sometimes I still question myself why. He helped me out and made sure I took my meds and saw the doctor......When he met Jon, he told me about you. At first I didn't want to do anything because I didn't want to hurt anybody, but when I first saw you.....I don't know. I just couldn't look away. I tried to convince myself not to get too close, but....."

"That why you kept pushing me away in the beginning" I said softly.

He nodded "yeah. I knew something like was going to happened. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you." He looked into my eyes "Craig, I love you....so fucking much. I don't know if you feel the same way or you ever will. I'll accept whatever decision you make."

"Tyler......you still not telling me what's wrong? I want you to help me understand."

He clenched his jaw and looked down letting out a deep breath "I'm.......I'm a sex addict. I know it may sound stupid and some people tend to joke about it. Somehow my anterior pituitary gland or whatever got screwed up and it produces more hormones than the average person."

I let out a little laugh "is that why you make some many sex jokes?"

He nodded "I get random urges craving for sex all of the time. It was so frustrated. It's not curable, and it's a rare condition. My doctor prescribed me some meds to try to reduce my hormonal levels and I go to therapy every month. My last order had a shortage of pills, and my doctor was away on vacation. Stupid me, I decided to get drunk 'thinking it would solve my problems' when it just made things worse. I am really sorry, Craig. I don't want any of this happened." Everything makes so much sense now from where we first met until now. There were signs but I just thought it was just the way he is. I actually found it amusing how he was rough around edges and always made sex jokes even at inappropriate moments. He still managed to put a smile on my face, but it doesn't changed what happened. I can understand why he was scared to tell me, but there comes a time when these things need to be part aside in a situation like this. Lui needs our help, and this guy is playing mind games with us. We can't let him win.

"Tyler I.....I wished you would told me sooner. I don't care about your condition. You're still the same guy, but what you did.....it hurt me so much. I don't know what to do right now, but we need to focus more on Lui. Hopefully if we make it through this, we can talk about it. Right now I need some time to think things through."

"I understand......I really do love you, Craig. I know you may not believe, but if you let me, I promise I'll show how much I do."

"Okay."
