One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure

True Friend

3 months after Ming had entered Kit's life, and had made his parents question whether Mark had really been in love with their son, is when Kit's world came crashing down. It was around 7 pm, just after Yiwan was put to bed, that Kit tried to call his boyfriend and see how he was going. Over these past few months Mark has been pulling away slowly and it was starting to make Kit question the seriousness of their relationship. 

Kit was sitting on his bed, while Ming was downstairs working on some homework since he was spending the night, when he tried calling Mark. It took a few tries but eventually Mark answered the call, not very happy to be interrupted. Kit felt something was off but was not expecting to find out his boyfriend was cheating on him and had been since he was pregnant. Tears were racing down his face as he listened to his now ex boyfriend fucking his best friend and not even bothering to stop. Adding insult to injury Mark admitted that he had his parental right terminated and was legally off the hook with their daughter, even calling his princess a bastard.

Kit was completely heartbroken, especially when Mark turned the call into a video chat and showed him just what was going on. It was until Mark commented on something about Pete that Kit finally had the courage to end the call and try to deal with the pain. He curled up in a ball and cried his eyes out, unaware that Ming had just finished downstairs and went to check up on him.

As soon as Ming entered the room he could see Kit was in a lot of pain and knew that right now his friend needed his support now more than ever. He walked over to Kit and sat down beside the boy as he wrapped him safely in his arms. "It's ok Kit. I'm here. I won't let you go." Kit kept silent as his tears kept flowing down his face. For at least an hour Kit continued to cry heavily into Ming's warm embrace till he ended up falling asleep. Soft snores came out of Kit's mouth, letting Ming know that Kit was now asleep so he laid the boy gently on the bed. He grabbed Kit some pyjamas and carefully changed Kit into more comfortable clothing, before doing the same himself. He then hopped into bed and wrapped his arms around Kit, offering the boy some support even in his sleep. 

Not once did Ming pressure Kit to talk about what had gotten him so upset, he knew the boy would tell him when he was ready. For the next few days Kit was an emotional wreck and could barely hold it together. Ming stayed by his side and held the boy, letting him cry it out. Kit's parents knew something had happened but Ming told them to give Kit time to grieve and let him come to them when he was ready. They were impressed with how Ming was handling this whole situation as he stepped up and took care of Yiwan while Kit was lost in his own little world. 

Almost a week after Kit learned the harsh truth about Mark he was slowly coming around. Although the pain was still fresh he was seeing everything Ming had been doing for him and was blessed to have someone so kind and caring supporting him through this difficult time. It was late one Saturday afternoon when Kit had finished crying in Ming's arms once again when he decided to tell Ming what was going on.

He pulled himself away from Ming a little and turned to face the boy as he spoke. "The first day you saw me crying my eyes out I had just found out that my ex boyfriend Mark was cheating on me. He blamed me for him cheating and that if I wasn't such a slut that decided to keep my little girl none of this would of happened. Apparently when I told him I was pregnant he didn't have the heart to tell me he wasn't ready so he strung me along for all those months while screwing his best friend behind my back."

Kit wasn't crying at this point but you could see him trying to fight back the tears once again. "Mark went so far as to have his parental rights terminated while I was pregnant and only stuck around so I wouldn't fuck up his life any more than I already had." Listening to Kit made Ming's heart ache for the boy. Kit was a sweet, kind, loving person and did not deserve to have any of this happen to him. He remained silent as he knew Kit wasn't finished. "To top it all off" Kit added as tears slowly leaked down his face "He showed me exactly what he was doing. I can't get the images of Mark fucking his best friend out of my head. I should of just ended the call the moment he told me of his affair."

This Mark fellow was a massive dick Ming thought to himself, he was so heartless and selfish. This wasn't Kit's fault at all, Mark was the one who decided to stick around instead of being honest with the boy from the beginning. Ming still didn't say a word as he wanted Kit to know he was listening to him and letting the boy get this all off his chest. The boys sat there in silence for quite awhile before Kit broke the tension "Thank you Ming. You are so amazing. Most people would of walked away when I mentioned my daughter but you chose to be there for her and I and I am forever grateful."

Ming looked lovingly into Kit's eyes "You are my friend Kit. I only want you to be happy and I can see how much you love your baby girl. She's the apple of your eye. She's just a perfect little angel that over these few months I've grown to love her too. No matter what happens Kit I will always be here to support you." Kit knew Ming words were true and unlike with Mark there was no doubt in his mind that Ming was serious. In all honesty the last 3 months had Kit question his relationship with Mark more frequently.

In the past Kit had the occasional thought cross his mind that Mark wasn't as serious about their relationship as he was and seeing how Ming stepped up in many ways to help him out only added to that. Now that the truth was out there Kit could slowly move on from this heartache and find someone who truly loves him. He had Ming, Yiwan and his parents to help him get through this so he wasn't alone.
