"So I'm guessing this is where you work?"
"Yeah sorry about all of this it was last minute"
I can tell he was irritated. I wonder what happened today.
He goes back to his desk, typing something into the computer. His eyes completely focused on whatever he was typing. But his face quickly went from stressed to angry.
"Austin are you ok?" he doesn't even look at me just nods, mummbles something and continues typing. I take a seat on the comfy looking couch across the room. I stare at the painting on the opposite side of the room. It looked as if it was from the Renaissance, it was of a man getting a crown placed on his head. The picture itself was pretty basic. But the feeling it gave me was chilling. The hands of the person placing the crown were covered in blood, the same as the crown.
"Austin what does the painting mean?"
"What painting? There's a lot in here" I point to it his eyes following my finger. he stared at it for a second, like he was contemplating on what to tell me.
"I never get up from my desk to notice how this painting looks" He walked over to it. Grazing his fingertips over the dusty piece of art. He looks back at me " I really couldn't tell you I think it's kinda weird though. You ok? You looked spooked" I shake my head "it just gives me bad vibes" He grabs my hand "you know I love you right?" I nod "and I love having you stay with me but- I need you to go back to your apartment for a bit" I just stand there shocked, I can't even believe it.
"why?"
"Someone is watching the house they've been doing it for a while" he brings me over to his desk. He pulls out a pride flag. It's ripped up but in the center just says "YOU FAGGOTS WON'T  BE WORKING MUCH LONGER". A sharp pain ran through me, who the fuck would say some shit like that? I turn to Austin he looks so empty. From what I know, no one knows about Him and Daniel. And if this can't be some fucking prank. "does Daniel know about this?" he shook his head " I don't wanna upset him he already got so much anxiety from being out in our office, you know how much it would kill him knowing some random person is out there waiting on him to slip up. I can't live with that"
I watch as he pulls up security footage. He skims to 7:45 am. Static comes up till 7:55 and, when it's back to normal the flag, is just sitting there. Folded up wrapped in a bow.
"Whoever is doing this shit knows what they're doing. Because I can't find anything. It usually says if the cameras were down or it was a glitch  but it doesn't. It's like someone shut them down It has to be someone that knows about their relationship, but no one does.
"so what are you guys gonna do? "
"I don't know I found this on the doorstep this morning, I just know I don't want you there alone" the puts it back in the drawer and locks it.
"but what if they know me? And they're watching my apartment? I haven't been to my apartment in days, no telling who's been by looking for my information"
"Then I'll probably rent something for the time being. I just don't want you or Danny there alone." Then the door opens, it's Daniel. I can tell why he doesn't want to tell him. He came in so bubbly and happy.
" Hey guys what's wrong you both look upset?" 
"yea we're fine baby but can you come here for a sec" he takes him to the bathroom and locks the door. Daniel comes out first squealing and giggling "DID AUSTIN TELL YOU YET?" I shake my head "WERE GOING ON A TRIP" he picked me up spinning me around, kissing me. He places me down, runs over to Austin giving him a deep kiss. God, I hope he doesn't find out why we're going on this trip. Because it'll break him.
