Douleur (boyxboy)

Chapter 7

"Oh, welcome back Alex, how was your day?" Patrick greeted me. He is still in his working attire. I came home alone because the bastard had "something" to do. But he could've at least come with me when I went home.

"Hi. My day?" My day was fun because Nathan touched me, but who am I kidding? "It was ok, how about yours?"

My brother seems to have a stressed face but all in all he didn't look like he was being tortured simultaneously because of his work. I'm the one who's stressed here; my body just got toyed by Nathan. It's not like I'm seriously stressed, exhausted would be the right word to describe what I feel.

"My day was ok, I guess" Patrick spoke tiredly. This is new, he doesn't say "I guess" all the time, something must be wrong, should I ask him, or not? Would he even tell me the reason? Maybe he is just tired and all.

"That is good, I guess" who am I kidding? I'm so tired too, all the discussion with him was tiring, but at least he said that he would help me, maybe that is because of my brother, I told him that I was the reason he stopped going to school and worked, which is entirely true.

"I bought dinner so don't cook anymore, I figured it out that you'll get tired" Patrick said. How understanding of him, after all he is my brother so that would be ok. I'm tired even though I don't want to think that I am but I just want to sleep on my bed as soon as possible, "Let's sit down because I have something to talk to you"

This "something to talk to you" is kind of urgent and creepy, for me. I guess this what they call "adult talk". Am I already an adult? I'm 18, but I don't think I act like one. It's like growing old, being adult is like growing old, and then after you suffer, you die. His face seemed to be serious so this must be serious.

"Alexander? How is Nathan? How do you find him?" He asked. What a question! And it's about Nathan, what does this mean? What will he do? Nathan? He was the one who made me release, but I can't say that to him, but overall Nathan is ok.

"Nathan? He is ok, I'm ok with him, I guess" That was the most difficult question he asked me and I even lied to him. My brother didn't know about what happened in my room, what happened on Nathan's room.

"Ok, good. So, within two days I will be assigned to another place" He started, him, another place? What about me?

"But—"

"I'm not yet done Alex, let me finish. As I said, I'll be assigned but you'll be living with Nathan, you two seem to get along just fine" He said.

Me and Nathan in one roof?

That will be a huge disaster; do I even have a choice right now? Yes! There is! I am 18 so I can disagree! I'll try my luck.

"But I'm 18 already Pat, I can live on my own" I said, this was only a trial to see if he'll let me live alone but my voice sounded more like I don't want to live with Nathan. It's not like that Nathan would do something much worse than the last time, I guess.

"I... Alexander please, you're still a kid to my eyes, so just stay with Nathan ok? You'll be fine with him" I didn't expect him to answer in a way where his voice sounded frustrated at first but in the end he sounded like he was begging or something.

"Ok, I'll live with Nathan, he seems kind of cool" I lied again.

"Thank you Alex" he said. But how will I live with a guy like Nathan? He is a goddamn pervert, but for Patrick's sake I'll try my best.
