Josh's mother was inquiring about when he would get married. She visited the boys, and it was all she would talk about; saying how Josh and Freya had been going steady for awhile and maybe they should consider settling down.
In the lounge, Vikk was consoling Simon about it. He was the only one who knew that him and Josh had been sneaking around for awhile, due to walking in on them towards the beginning of their rendezvous. Whilst he didn't necessarily approve, he realized that Josh made Simon really happy.
"I'm sorry mate but...you knew this was bound to happen, right?"
Simon was trying to hold back any potential tears, he thought it was silly to cry over the infidelity that he played a part in.
"Yeah. Yeah. It's stupid."
Vikk rubbed his back in reassurance, but still spoke just what was on his mind.
"Yeah. It is. But if you want my opinion, you should have realized this would happen as soon as Josh started cheating. I never thought he would break up with Freya for you."
"...thanks?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So when are you and Freya getting married?"
Simon and Josh had the house to themselves. Vikk was in los angeles, and JJ was staying across town in his flat. It was a rarity that they ever got to sleep in one another's bed, in fear that the other guys would walk in, but Simon wasn't really into it on account of how the prior week had gone.
"I didn't say we were. I'm not really ready for that."
Simon frowned, going and turning to walk to his bedroom. "Well, goodnight, I guess."
Josh yanked him back into the room before he could go any farther. "Simon, come on. Tell me what's really on your mind, please. It can't be just that."
"it's...a lot of things," Simon murmured, sitting down. "But I'm just...worn out. And your mum visiting didn't help any of that."
"I'm sorry."
Simon rolled his eyes, but stayed silent for a moment, pondering. "Josh, do you think we could...?"
Josh smiled, glad that Simon wasn't mad at him. "Sure. I'll make you feel better."
He escorted Simon over to the chair (he liked being secured to something for the assurance that he wouldn't be able to get out). With quick and swift knots, he bound his lover tightly: his ankles, knees, stomach, chest, arms; anything he could tie down, he did. Making quick work, he secured a gag in Simon's mouth. This was not always a requirement, especially when the lads weren't around, but it was a step Josh had always liked. He knew Simon didn't mind.
The whole goal of this was usually to calm Simon down and help him to destress, and Josh wanted to help him with that using any means he could. He dug around in their black box (it was a TV box, but Josh kept it around to hold everything he and Simon used; so wandering eyes wouldn't peak) and fished out a sleek, silver vibrator. Simon usually didn't prefer insertion when he was being tied up, but that was unneeded.
Josh tugged down Simon's boxers just enough so that his pulsating cock was exposed. Using a thin piece of white rope, he tied the vibrator to Simon's cock: the tip at his head. He watched as his lover's shoulders tensed up, their eyes locking as Josh's lips curled into a sly smirk. He turned the vibrator on the lowest setting, watching as Simon began to shiver. It always took him awhile to come, but when he did, he was filled with euphoria.
Josh stepped behind him and began working his fingers into the knots in Simon's shoulders and upper back. His shoulders were gradually becoming less and less tense as tremors ran through his body.
Josh spoke to him in a low, tender voice. "Baby boy. Don't worry about a thing, okay? I'm not leaving you anytime soon. I know you need me. I wouldn't hurt you like that, Simon Minter. Do you understand me?"
Simon's eyes were fluttering, long lashes hitting his brow bone as he looked at Josh with a soft gaze. Josh would swear up and down that nothing would ever compare to that look, and for a minute he thought he was in love with Simon. He thought about what it would be like to cuddle him every night. To come out to their friends and family. To dump Freya and marry Simon instead.
But that was never part of the plan. Josh loved Simon like he loved all of the other boys; but a lot more than that. Simon was his best friend and had been for a long, long while. They got along considerably well and even this whole mess that they had gotten themselves into could be resolved. It had always been no strings attached and they were very clear on that rule.
Josh knew it would ruin everything, anyhow. There was no realistic way for him and Simon to be together. Not without hurt feelings, or teasing, or even harassment. Josh didn't want any of that for Simon.
His thoughts were cut off by his lover coming all over the chair, dripping down his legs.
