Turning his phone on, he scrolled through his contacts pausing at the contact titled Mr. James Finn. Should he? No, Mr. Finn was an awkward acquaintance. A teacher who had seen him pole dancing and driven him home, but not reported him. Theo decided to call his mom...
"What." His mom angrily said.
"Hey mom, I'm up at Dev's could you.."
"No." She hung up.
Theo took a deep breath and wiped at his eyes.
A car parked in front of the house, music blaring from its open windows. It was happy music that didn't match Theo's depressed mood. The car powered down and Seth hopped out, he walked towards Theo, twirling his keys. Seth was a hot man, he was taller then most men and thinly built, not scrawny, just not broad. He had dyed red hair and black eyes. He was extremely pale and had a tattoo of a bird in flight, on his left bicep.
He came closer to Theo, noticing Theo's tears. "Do I need to wash Devon's sheets?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
Theo nods sadly.
"What did my idiot brother say?"
"Ah ah damn your tight!" Theo says his heavy heart, lighting for a second.
Seth gave a slight smile. "Ok, someone doesn't want to talk about it. Say, let me and you hang out for a bit. There's something I like to do when I'm sad and I think you'll like it."
"I'm a little old for ice cream Seth."
Seth frowns. "No one's too old for ice cream."
Seth is in his early twenties, a few years older than Theo and Devon. He was one of the nicest people Theo knew, and his only half friend. Theo didn't know him all that well but he was Ace's official lover and nothing like him. Ace was cruel and Seth was sweet. When Seth visited the strip club, he always called Ace, Ace became a better man around Seth. Ace had issues with love, he only understood pain and Seth made him try really hard to care. Seth put up with the occasional beatings when Ace had a bad day. Seth had laid his body out as a sacrifice because he loved some piece of Ace that no one else saw.
