When did things go wrong

Back to start

The plan was perfect, everyone knew but the Noah. his friends, his family.... Everyone knew about his husband Anoe cheating on him. How Noah found out was the worst way possible. His son who was only two at the time had asked why his friend was over with dad while Noah was away at work. Noah couldn't answer that question. He sat there in shock staring at His son. Lets not start here let's go to the beginning. They had met back in high school in 2005. It was in the middle of the school day of Noah senior year when Anoe had walked in. the teacher had stopped talking. "Who are you?" the teacher asked. "I am Anoe Takanobu." the teacher nodded his head, staring Anoe. "oh I see you are the new exchange student from Japan." Anoe nodded. "Yes sir I am." "okay well why don't you come forward and talk about yourself." Anyone walked to the front of the classroom bowing a bit. "Hello everyone, I am Anoe, I'm part japanese and russian. I'm spending a school year here from Japan. Please treat me well." all of the girls had swooped over him while the boys weren't too happy about him being there. The teacher stepped forward. "Okay class calm down Anoe why don't you sit down next to Noah, Noah raise your hand." Noah raised his hand without looking up from his book. Noah was just the teacher assistant for this class. Anoe sat next to him smiling a little. "Hello i'm happy to be your desk mate." Noah looked at him smiling at his words. "Hi same here any questions you have you can ask me." he nodded his head grateful that he had made a friend. "Here let me see your schedule so I can see if we have any classes together." Noah spoke softly to him not wanting to disturb the teacher from teaching the class. Anoe had handed his schedule to him, Noah looked it over smiling at him. "We have all afternoon classes together but for the morning your by yourself. He smiled happily knowing they have the same class for the afternoon. "Well hopefully we sit by each other most of the time." Noah nodded in agreement, happy that he made a new friend. The teacher cleared her throat wanting the classes attention. Both Anoe and Noah Looked at the teacher. The teacher said. "Noah would it be okay if you showed him around the person that was supposed to show him around isn't at school today. If you come here in between classes, I'll give you a late pass so you're not tardy to class." Noah looked at his teacher. "We actually have the same classes in the afternoon but I'll show him to his morning classes after school. If he's able to stay after school that is." Anoe nodded his head smiling."yeah i'm able to, I have volleyball tryouts though around 3." Noah nodded his head. "Oh that's so cool, I'm the boys volleyball manager." He smiled at him. Anoe let out a small smile barely noticeable. "Well I looked forward to working with you then." "Same." They both turned and faced the teacher paying attention to the class. Towards the end of the class the teacher gave them free time since everyone finished their work early. Noah and Anoe were talking in the back getting to know each other having a good time. Alexis, Noah's best friend came over to them. "Hey Noa, who is this?" She asked, smiling sending a flirty wink towards him. Noah felt a little jealous that she was flirting with him. Anoe smiled at her wanting to make a new friend. "This is Anoe he just transferred here from Japan he's the exchanged student for a year." Noah told her smiling bitterly, he didn't understand why he felt this way towards his  best friend. It didn't make sense to him. Noah shook the feeling off ignoring it for now. Alexis had moved Noah so she could sit in between them. What Alexis was doing was starting to get to Noah; he felt like he was about to snap. Alexis pushed Noah out of the conversation, Noah felt hurt by what Alexis did. Anoe noticed but didn't say anything about it sense it looked like it didn't bother Noah at least that's what it looked like but in reality it affected him a lot. When the bell rang Alexis had grabbed Anoe arm and dragged him away stating that he was gonna meet some people. Noah watched sadly, he really liked Anoe as a friend or so he thought. He never really had a crush on anyone before. Noah got up and went to his next class and sat down towards the back next to the window. He pulled his materials out of his back getting what he needed. He looked out the window in deep thought he didn't realize that Anoe sat next to him staring at him. He smiled slowly at Noah. Anoe leaned forward resting his chin on Noah's shoulder. "What are you looking at?" he asked, staring out the window. Noah turned his head a little, both of their noses touching. Noah's eyes widened and he stared into Anoe in shock not knowing what to say. "W-w I-I I was looking-" He got cut off by Alexis coming over and grabbing Anoe arm. "Ano come sit with you sat with Noah last time." she whined at him pouting a little. Anoe nodded his head without second thought. Noah sadly watched Anoe sit in the middle of the class with Alexis. Noah looked back out the window waiting for class to start. Once it did start it was painful to be in the class with Alexis and Anoe together all they did was flirt. Noah was so close to getting up and walking out but he didn't want to cause a scene. Once class was over he collected his stuff and left the class rather quickly. Anoe watched him slightly hurt he didn't wait for him. Noah was by his locker putting all of his stuff away. He had one more class before the day was over, it was gym class, his worst part of the day. Anoe came up to him, "Hey why didn't you wait up for me?" he asked, staring down at him." Anoe looked to be about 6'3 while Noah was 4'10. He was really short compared to him. Noah had enough and snapped a little. "Oh yeah like you waited for me after third period?" Noah snapped looking up Anoe. Anoe eyes were wide; he stared at him in shock realizing Noah was jealous. Anoe slowly started to smirk, caging him into his locker. "Are you jealous Noah~" He asked teasingly, staring into his eyes bending over a little to match his height. "No of course not, I have nothing to be jealous of, it's not like I have a crush on you. I just met you." Noah looked away, his face bright red. "Stop teasing me we have to get to class before we are both late." he warned, not knowing how much he can take. Noah like the way Anoe smelled, he smell like fresh mint and axe spray. Anoe pulled away from Noah grabbing his hand dragging him towards the gym class. "W-wait let go of my hand, How did you even know where the gym is?" Noah asked blushing. Anoe smirked pulling him into the gym going into the locker room. "Alexis showed me where it was when she introduced me to her friends." Noah nodded his head. "O-oh you have to see the coach about your locker and the school gym uniform in case you want to wear our colors." Noah spoke softly . "I'm wearing my school colors back from Japan, I already have a locker mine's in the corner over there." he points to the other side of the locker room. My locker is right here." he pointed towards his locker. He let go of Anoe hand going towards his locker. He opened it taking his shirt off, he started getting dressed for gym class. Anoe went to his locker grabbing his gym clothes out going towards Noah. "We are gonna share your locker together. My lockers all dusty." it was a stupid reason but Anoe wanted to be close to Noah. Noah fell for the reason thinking Anoe didn't want his clothes to be dirty. "I'll clean it for you during volleyball practice." Noah smiled at him, his eyes widening when he sees Anoe shirtless. "I-I" he was a stuttering mess, his face heating up bright red. Noah turned around covering his face with his hands. Anoe grinned at him loving the reaction he was getting. Noah cleared his throat "come on we are gonna be late to class." he muttered quickly going past him out to the gym. Noah lined up with the rest of the class on the black line. Anoe came out of the gym standing next Noah. The gym teacher started taking roll calls. After he was done he called out. "Alright everyone today we are gonna be playing dodge ball but before then run around the gym 5 times." Noah started running, Anoe came up beside him matching his pace. After about 3 laps Noah gave up huffing and puffing. Anoe smirked down at reaching down he ruffled his hair. "Don't worry i'll finish your laps." Anoe took off running, finishing his laps and Noah laps. All the girls were swooming over him while the guys rolled their eyes. The gym teacher clapped his hands loudly. "Alright everyone Anoe your team captain for the blue team. Lucas your team captain for the red team. Alright cho-"  Anoe cut him off. "I want Noah on my team." Lucas stared at him in shock, slowly smirking. "Are you trying to lose. Alright fine, I choose Jake." when they finished picking their teams Anoe told Noah to stay behind him. Noah did just that until, Anoe stepped away just for a second. Suddenly Noah got hit in the face with a dodgeball my Jake. Anoe saw red and he first made sure that Noah was Okay. Noah told him that he was fine and was bleeding a little. Anoe went back to playing dodgeball and he hit Lucas and Jake in the face. "Thats game....don't hit Noah in the face again." he growled at them, turning around and walking towards the locker room slamming the door open. Noah was sitting on the counter staring at the ceiling in deep thought. Anoe walked over to him looking him over making sure he's okay. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I should have done better." He spoke softly to him, regret all over his face. Noah sighed softly reaching up gently grabbing his cheeks softly. "Hey its okay, its not like we're dating or anything." he spoke softly. Anoe signed angrily. "I want to protect you, I can't explain....I just-" The bell rang signaling that school is over. Anoe sighed, pulling away from him walking away. "I'm going to try out for volleyball." he muttered leaving the gym. Noah sighed softly walking towards his locker he changed back out into his regular clothes. Noah then cleaned out Anoe locker making it super clean. He walked out towards the gym waving Anoe towards him. "Hey your locking is clean. Here is the combo code to my locker. When your done you can just put your gym clothes back into your locker. I have a headache so i'm going to head home." he mumbled softly. Anoe sighed softly, "How are you getting home?" he asked softly, staring down at him. "My sister is picking me." Noah told him blushing from Anoe staring at him. Anoe nodded, " my number is xxx-xxx-xxxx text me when you get home. Promise me you will." Noah smiled softly from him worrying. "I promise i'll call you." Noah saved Anoe number on his phone. Anoe pulled Noah into him hugging him tightly. Noah hugged back before slowly letting go. He waved walking out of the gym. Noah walked past one of the windows watching Anoe block all of their opponents attacks. He smiled softly thinking, 'We might have a chance of taking it all the way.' He smiled walking towards his sister's car getting inside. Noah had decided he wanted to ask his sister a question. "Hey jessica, I have a question, I get this weird feeling around someone I met. I've never felt this way before.....What should I do?" Jessica nodded her head slowly. "Do I sense happening, thats called butterflies. That means you have a crush. Who is the lucky girl?" Jessica asked him. Noah sat there in shock quickly shaking his head after a good minute. "There's no way that I have a crush, he's just a friend that's all." He spoke softly biting his lip. "Never mind that just forget I said anything." Noah whispered softly. Jessica couldn't believe what she just heard. She wanted to ask him more questions but knew she couldn't at least not yet. Once he got home he sent a text to Anoe, that he made it home safely. Jessican went into the house much slower than Noah, still confused and dazed about earlier mayne she thought too much into it yeah that's it. Once she got inside the mom and dad standing there confused on why he went straight to his  room, usually he'll sit and talk with her about his day and his grades. The dad stepped forward, becoming papa bear mode, immediately becoming protective. "Was it those kids again, I thought you said you'd take care of it maybe I-" Jessica shook her head. "No dad likes someone but the thing is the person he likes...Is a guy." The dad's face went red  while the mom looked like she was gonna have a heart attack. "I could be wrong it was just something he said in the car....never mind I was wrong." The mother sighed softly. "Oh thank goodness. Dear don't say something like that you almost gave me a heart attack. Still we'll go to church this weekend to see what the priest has to say." She smiled thinking she wouldn't have to worry about it. The dad on the other hand didn't relax not in the slightest. "Hmmm,,,," he hummed thinking to himself, I mean it did make sense...but he simply couldn't except it he was going through a phase the dad thought. Once Noah settled down, he started doing homework finishing around 10 at night. Anoe name flashed across the screen. He was wanting to facetime. He answered without a second thought. They ended up talking all night until Noah fell asleep on the call. Anoe just watched him falling asleep soon after. Noah's dad stood outside his room listening to their conversation. Jessica watched her dad wondering what he is planning on doing. "Dad, maybe I was wrong. Maybe-." The dad shot a glare towards Jessica. '"Go back  to your room, go to sleep, speak nothing of this to your mother." the dad went into Noah's room grabbing his phone ending the call. "Something is wrong with you Noah and I'm going to figure it out." the dad turned around going towards Noah's door. He froze when he heard Noah mumble "Anoe." he rushed forward leaving Noah's room.
