AN: Final Exams right now, so tired. He's next chapter though.

After Alex had showed Jonathan to the door, he went to the bedroom. First, he checked on Kyle. The younger boy was whimpering still, but he seemed relatively okay. He went to the bathroom, and then brushed is teeth. Alex had forgotten to brush his teeth the past couple of nights. After his mouth was nice and fresh, Alex stripped down to his boxers. He put his clothes in the hamper and entered the room again. Kyle had turned on his stomach. He was gripping the sheets in a tight fist. His face was contorted in a mask of pain.

Alex slipped into the bed next to the younger boy, scooping him up to his side. He rubbed Kyle’s hair, trying to soothe the restless boy. Kyle attempted to seek comfort by drawing as close to Alex as humanely possible. Alex relaxed in the comfortable atmosphere, and let his dreams take over his body.

When Kyle woke the next morning, the first thing the boy realized was his ribs were not hurting that much. It was the least they hurt since Eric broke them. He got out of bed without being cautious. There was slight pain, but it was nowhere near as bad as the morning before. He was able to move around easily and he relished in the feeling. After a quick once over of the apartment, Kyle determined that Alex was not there. He probably had a class. He stomach growled, alerting to it being empty. Kyle remembered what Alex had said. Alex had said he did not need permission to take something from the refrigerator. Kyle was really hungry, so he was definitely going to take Alex up on that. He looked into the refrigerator. He wanted something simple. He grabbed the corn flakes and the galleon of milk. He looked through the cabinets until he came across the bowls. He took one of the bigger ones. Kyle was really hungry. He found the silverware, and pulled out a spoon. He poured the cereal and milk. He then put both back into the refrigerator. He sat down with his cereal, and started shoveling it into his mouth. Alex’s words came back to haunt him though.

Eat slowly. Eat slowly. Eat slowly. Eat slowly.

Even though Alex was not present in the apartment, Kyle still felt the need to follow what he said. He wanted Alex to be proud of him.

When he was almost done, Kyle heard the door open. He got out of his seat and went to greet Alex at the door. Kyle gave Alex a hug and a soft ‘hello’.

Alex laughed, which made Kyle look up at him with questioning eyes. Alex patted his head. “I’m sorry, but you are kind of acting like a sub just now.”

Kyle was not sure if that was an insult or a compliment. He was suspicious and defensive. “How? What do you mean?”

Alex patted him on the back reassuringly. “It’s not a bad thing. When subs and Doms are in a relationship, almost always the sub will greet the Dom when the Dom comes home. It is usually an unsaid ritual.”

Kyle blushed. “Oh, it just seemed so natural for me to come say hello to you.”

Alex smiled gently. “I liked that it seemed natural to you.” They walked back to the kitchen, where Kyle had come out of. “I see you were eating breakfast.”

“Are you mad at me?”

Alex looked at him like he had grown an extra head. “Why would I be mad? I told you just yesterday that you did not need my permission to eat.” Kyle sat down again to finish his bowl of cereal. Alex noticed Kyle was moving a lot more comfortably. “By the looks of it, your ribs are not hurting too much this morning.”

Kyle nodded his head ‘yes’ enthusiastically. “They still hurt a little bit, but there really is not that much pain. It was amazing when I awoke. I could move my body without cringing. This is the best my ribs have felt since they were broken.”

Alex chuckled. “I’m glad you’re feeling better.” Alex was pleased when Kyle ate at a normal pace. He had taken Alex’s words from the previous day to heart. Alex was very happy watching Kyle eat. The way Kyle swiped his tongue over the spoon to clean it of milk, it was so seductive. Kyle did not even realize the erotic movements of his tongue, which probably enhanced the seduction. He turned away and thought of disgusting things, like other Doms, or even switches, trying to dominate him in a sex play. It seemed to do trick. He stayed faced away until Kyle finished his cereal. Kyle got up and rinsed the bowl and spoon in the sink, before laying it gently down.

When Kyle turned back, Alex was still facing away. “Alex, are you mad at me about something? Why will not look at me?”

Alex took a deep breath and turned back, his face slightly flushed with the effort of holding his need in. “The last thing I am is mad.” He stood up and walked to the living room. He sat on the couch, and turned the television on.

Kyle followed hesitantly. He was not sure if he should leave Alex alone. The twenty five year old
seemed to be in a sour mood all of the sudden. He stood behind the television, shuffling his feet. Alex noticed him and waved him over. Kyle let out a relieved smile, and went to sit next to him.

Kyle leaned his head on Alex’s shoulder, who in returned put his arm around the small frame, pulling Kyle closer. Kyle breathed in Alex’s intoxicating scent. “So, you’re really not mad at me.”

Alex pulled away and grabbed Kyle’s chin between his fingers. “I am not mad. I am sorry if I made you think I was.”

“Then why did you turn away from me, as if you were disgusted. I was eating slowly, just like you told me to.”

Alex smiled. “I was very proud of you for that reason. I turned away because it hurt me so much to look at you.”

Kyle’s eyebrows furrowed. “What do you mean by it hurt you?”

Alex sighed. He did not want to put it blatantly. Kyle was still an abused victim, and his terminology might scare him. That was the last thing Alex wanted. “Kyle, it’s hard to say it. Let’s just say that I really like you, as you already know. I feel certain things upon looking at you that makes me want you so bad. It gets a bit hard to control my desires.” Alex thought that last part may have been going a bit too far. He did not want Kyle to be scared of being raped in his sleep.

Kyle looked down at his hand. “I still do not trust you because you are not willing to give up your other sex partners.”

Alex nodded. “I know. I also know it is because Eric has a lot of partners at one time. You are afraid I will turn out to be like him.”

Kyle sucked in his breath. “Yeah, I know you want to protect me. There is a part of me that will probably always be scared, even if only a little bit.”

Alex smiled. “I am willing to wait. Sometimes, the best things in life are worth waiting for.”

Kyle smiled a bit cheekily. “Isn’t that a bit cliqued Alex?”

Alex gave a mock laugh. “You are so funny.”

Kyle laughed, and then got a weird look in his eyes. He knew Alex truly cared about him. The fact that Alex kept his hands away from Kyle at night seemed to be proof by itself. Alex also protected him from Eric and Aaron. Alex helped Kyle when he first got out of the hospital. That is why he did the following. He got up and kneeled on the couch, his knees holding himself up on the couch. He slowly leaned down, and touched his lips to Alex’s lips. Alex’s eyes widened. Alex never expected Kyle to make the first move, not that he was complaining. Alex did not want to kiss back, afraid if he was too forceful Kyle would be scared. He put his hand to Kyle’s cheek, and caressed it. Kyle’s tongue touched Alex’s lips, asking for entrance. The older boy immediately opened his lips. Kyle’s tongue jumped in, the slimy muscle exploring Alex’s wet cavern. Kyle whimpered. This was his first deep, deep kiss. It felt a little weird, but it also felt so good. It felt so right. Kyle leaned further into the kiss, wanting more of the tingling feeling.

Just then, the doorbell rang. It took a couple of rings, before it broke through Alex’s and Kyle’s foggy thoughts. Alex pulled away with a groan. He had not wanted it to end. Kyle was panting heavily, trying to gather his thoughts. Alex stood up on wobbly legs. By the way, Alex never had wobbly legs after a mere kiss. That was Kyle’s magic.

Alex was starting to become angry because they were so rudely interrupted. He yanked the door open with a growl, and saw a man in a blue. It was an officer. Alex’s face instantly softened. Jonathan had kept his word and went to the police in the morning. Alex whispered, so he would not alert Kyle. “Jonathan Sweeten went to you, did he not?”

The police officer nodded.

Alex took a deep breath, before allowing the police officer in.

Kyle, who was staring at his hands, blushing, looked up at the sound of footsteps. His face froze in a mask of horror. He knew instantly what was going on. He stood up, one fist clenching at his side. He pointed an accusing finger at Alex. “YOU TOLD!!!!!”

Alex shook his head. “No, I did not.” Alex replied in honestly. In reality, he had not told the police, directly at least.

“Who told then? You were the only person who knew.”

“Your big brother told.”

Kyle shook his head, not believing it. “Jonathan did not believe it was true. He would not tell the police something, if he did not believe it himself.”

Alex sighed. “He had come to the apartment last night. He was waiting outside of the door. After I put you to bed I had a talk with him. He believed me after we talked.”

Kyle glared. “You told him to tell.” It was not a question. It was a statement.

Alex shrugged. “I could not tell because I promised you I would not. You never asked Jonathan to not tell.”

Kyle was still glaring. “That was a cheap ploy. In a way you did tell.”

Alex sighed. “I knew you were going to be angry at me, but I am sick of worrying about you. As long as Eric is free, I will always worry.”

Kyle felt tears falling down his cheeks. “I trusted you.”

The police officer went to Kyle, sitting on the couch next to him. “Don’t be so hard on him. If what your brother told me was true, your friend here did the right thing. He obviously cares about you very much.”

Kyle turned his head away from the officer’s gaze. “I’m not telling you anything.”

The officer and Alex sighed simultaneously. Alex sat down on the other side of Kyle. “Why are you protecting him? All he has ever done is hurt you.”

“Kyle answered simply, “He’s my brother.”

“Your brother that has abused your relationship.”

Kyle sighed. “He has not always been like this though. Something must have happened before he started to hurt me. He used to be my best friend.”

The officer interrupted the conversation. “Can you please tell me specifically what he has done to you?”

Kyle shook his head. “I will keep protecting him until I talk to him.”

“I am not letting you anywhere near him.”

Kyle looked at Alex with pleading eyes. “Isn’t Darren your best friend?”

Alex nodded.

“That was Eric to me.”

Alex shook his head. “Maybe that is how it used to be, but all he does now is hurt you. I will not allow you near him.”

Kyle turned back to the officer. “I am not saying anything against my brother.”

The officer looked glum. “You have already admitted he’s hurt you, even if you weren’t specific. I have it on tape recording. That’s enough to at least bring him to the station. If you won’t tell me anything else, I’ll be going. I’ll show myself out.” He left the couple in silence.

After the door closed, there were a few moments of tense silence. Kyle stood up and went towards the bedroom. Before entering, “I trusted you. You did it indirectly, but you still betrayed my trust.” He entered the bedroom.
