Noah & Navid

Chapter 29- House Party

We got to Erik's about 8 and the party was already thumping. 

His parents had left for the weekend so he wanted to celebrate. I don't know how, but there was a full bar on the counter. Navid wouldn't let me have any so I didn't even bother asking.

Navid had on a tight, white tank top that showed the chest he'd been working on so hard. He layered it with an open, blue button down short-sleeve shirt and jeans. 

I was dressed more modestly with a loose t-shirt and jeans that matched his.

"You came!" A drunk Erik hugged me and ushered me away from Navid's arms to introduce me to everyone. 

Most of the guys I knew from the lgbt group at school. I hadn't seen them in awhile so it was good to catch up.

Miguel was there and he eyed Navid cautiously as he hugged me. 

He was still scared of hugging me too long with Navid's eyes on him. Navid helped himself to a drink and gulped it down pretty quickly. 

I knew he didn't feel comfortable here, but he was going to make an effort. We'd taken a Lyft so he could drink without worrying about driving. He'd said I was too precious to take chances like that with. 

And then I ran into Jason; a guy I knew from high school. 

He wasn't that nice to me back then. He was a year ahead and slept with just about any guy who was "straight-acting." I was happy to see that he'd put on a little weight and his skin was breaking out.

"Hi Noah!" He hugged me excitedly as if we'd been friends. Then he caught sight of Navid behind me. 

He quickly ditched me to the side and went for Navid.

"Hi Navid! I didn't expect to see you here! It's been forever" He said with even more excitement. 

My stomach turned. Jason tried to hug Navid, but he just got a forced handshake from my man.

"Oh, you don't remember me?" Jason asked and slurred his words a little. He must have gotten into the alcohol early.

"Yes, of course. Nelson, right?" Navid said and I watched his body tense up.

"Nelson? I look like a Nelson? No, it's Jason, but um... you can call me whatever you want, big guy," Jason nudged me out of the way to get closer to Navid.

I started to walk off.

"Noah!" Navid called and pushed past Jason to get to me.

"This, I didn't want this for you to be upset!" Navid growled as he caught my arm.

"Didn't want what? You two are together? Really? You like HIM? Noah's such a... non-person. Wait... I just remembered. Aren't you the kid who cried in 9th grade when they put you on stage to give a speech for getting perfect attendance or something? That was epic," Jason said with a laugh as though it were implausible anyone could be interested in me.

"Nelson! You are rude and must leave us. Now!" Navid barked at Jason without taking his eyes off of me in a tone that made him shrink back.

"The name's JASON!" Jason rolled his eyes, huffed, and slinked off.

"I'm sorry, this was a mistake," I said, wanting to leave.

"He is garbage, Noah. He say mean things because that is all that is inside him. Of course you are person. You are my favorite person and I love perfect attendance. It mean you take life for serious," Navid put his arm around me and kissed me.

"I'm fine! I... it's ok. I knew you did that with people, but him?" I asked with a hurt look.

"I tell you is awful! It was before I know you, Noah. I was very sad guy. I just need to fill holes! In my drunken state I took his. He hang on me all night flirting. He grab my cock and beg to see it. We both drink too much and lose our control together in my old bed. You know you do not want to know this things, so why you ask?" Navid said and held me protectively.
