In their separate bedrooms at opposite ends of the town they woke thinking only of what had happened and what was to come. Donald sent Mark a text all it said was "Morning, can't wait." Mark replied "Me neither." They both had college work to finish off and various chores to complete so for the rest of the morning and early afternoon they caught up on these tasks. Remember they were 3 miles apart, but it seems like oceans when your in love, something they had still to truly admit to each other. As the time approached for Mark to leave he started getting ready, he showered and shaved, splashed his face wish some aftershave then dressed, he planned to wear his black jeans and his navy shirt, he liked dark colours. Once dressed he headed down to find his dad, he wanted to use the car again. His dad was at kitchen table reading the newspapers, he did this every Sunday. Arthur heard his son come into the kitchen, he turned and whistled, Mark blushed. "You are gonna melt hearts son." Mark couldn't believe his dad could say such a thing he felt embarrassed and a million pounds at the same time. "Dad can I borrow the car again?" His dad had known he would ask, he smiled and just said "Enjoy and take care, both of you." while passing him the keys. "If your gonna be late call us." Mark then put his head round the door to the living room and said goodbye to his mum. While all this was going on Donald had also been getting ready. He had showered and much as Mark had done had gotten ready, he wore Stone washed tan Chinos and a white, almost see through short sleeved shirt. As he stood looking in the mirror he noticed the bruising on his arms and more bruising on his body through the shirt. He quickly changed to a pale blue slightly heavier shirt with long sleeves. He didn't want any questions when out. He was now ready, he grabbed his wallet moved to the window of the living room, Mark would be there any minute now. Sure enough, within minutes Mark showed up, before Donald could get gathered together his doorbell went. There stood Mark, all six foot of him, his dark hair shining in the sunlight, his green eyes sparkling, his smile saying how happy he was. Donald asked "You want to come in or are we just heading?" Mark was a little stunned, when Donald had opened the door he could only think 'wow, your hot'. He finally got his brain in gear and said "Can I come in first, there is something I need to do." Donald stood back a little letting Mark in, Mark passed him then turned to face him, "Donald you look awesome, all day I have thought about this." With this he took Donald 's face in his hands and pulled him into a kiss. Donald responded by wrapping his hand around his neck and kissing him back. After a minute or so of this Mark pulled away and said "If I don't stop now we will be late for the movie." Donald could only smile at what Marks statement implied. They gathered themselves again and headed to the car. Mark drove to the local cinema complex twenty minutes away and parked up. They got their tickets ensuring they had back seats, then as the movie didn't start till eight they went for something to eat. They found a Chinese buffet restaurant and sat enjoying each others company, as they ate. It was now ten to eight so they headed back to the cinema and found their seats. They sat their legs touching, when the lights started to go down. Mark had checked to see if anyone else was in the row and saw no one, the nearest people were two rows in front. So he reach and grasped Donald hand and pulled it towards him. The trailers started and both Mark and Donald settled back in their seats holding hands their legs occasionally rubbing against each other. 'This feels right, this is what I want.' Mark was thinking as the trailers ended and the curtains pulled back all the way for the feature presentation. Donald had been thinking much the same as Mark at this point, but he had not really been paying attention to the trailers as he kept sneaking glances at him. The movie started and they both sat watching occasionally squeezing each others hand, or rubbing a thumb across the back of the others hand, at one point they let go and placed theirs hand on each others closest thigh, gently rubbing and squeezing it. The movie came to a stop but they didn't move. They would wait till the very end as there was bound to be a little teaser for the next movie, they were not disappointed. The light came up and they stood to leave unhappy that they had to stop holding each other. They were on there way to the main door when they saw someone they knew. It was Coach Strachan he was waiting, holding a jacket, near the toilets for someone. The boys were just coming to talk to him when Mike, from Security, came out the Gents and took the jacket with a smile. Mark and Donald looked at other, "no way" they said almost in unison. They may have been jumping to conclusions but they were almost certain given what they knew about Mike. They increased their pace a little and very soon were directly behind the men. Mark spoke first, "Hi Coach" Paul Strachan stopped in his tracks and turned to see, Mark and Donald smiling at him. He didn't know what to say, Mike jumped in. "Hi guys, you enjoy the movie, take it you saw Thor." then to Donald, "how you feeling?" Mark and Donald said how they had enjoyed the film and they couldn't wait till the next one. Then Donald spoke "I'm not bad Mike a little sore and bruised all to hell but I'll live. Thanks to you and Mark here." Mike just said "part of my job" and left it at that. Mark then spoke. "Mike can I have a quick word, if possible." Mike looked at Paul then at Donald. Paul shrugged, Donald smiled. They where all headed to the exit so they continued out and separated once outside, Paul Strachan and Donald stood near the door while Mark and Mike moved away a little out of the general traffic leaving the cinema. Mark stood looking at Mike, still unable to believe this huge man was gay. Mike was 6'2 easily and must have weighted 260 and it was all muscle. He was a little younger than his dad so he could be in his late thirties maybe early forties. Tonight he was wearing a tight t shirt, it showed what Mike was built like to perfectionn, it would have been like a bag on Mark and he was reasonably broad. Mike was smiling at Mark, he had an idea what this was about, 'Arthur must have spoken to his son' he thought. "Ok Mark what's the matter, you ok?" His voice calm and deep. "I'm not sure if I should thank or hit you Mike, at the moment I'm favouring thank." Mike looked at him "Is this about your dad and I talking, Mark, if it is I'm sorry I spilled the beans about you and Donald, more so because I thought he knew about you." "Mike until yesterday no one knew, even I was trying to deny it. In some ways yesterday has helped, you helped as well and I want to thank you. My dad said you two served together in Bosnia as well as a few other places." "Yeah we did, I was squad medic to your dad's squad, he claims I saved his life twice when we were there I claim it was once. Well once when he really was hurt anyway. The other time it was to do with a talk we had but you'd have to ask him about that one." he paused looking over at Donald and Paul who were talking. "So how is Donald, he ok. You two seem to be quite happy, you dating." Mark could only smile and look back at Donald and nod. Mike could tell by the look on Marks face, as he looked at Donald how much he cared for him. He felt that way about Paul. When Mark turned and looked at Mike he could see the look he was giving the men waiting for them, he now knew for sure who Mikes boyfriend was. "Mike my dad told me you were like me, I didn't believe him. Is it true, are you Gay?" Mike burst out laughing, "That straight ass bastard outed me again, your dad always has had fun telling people about me. Maybe I'll return the favour some day and tell you some of his secrets." All through this he was smiling, "Yes I'm gay. I knew when I was in my early teens, I was quite small so got picked on because of it, you can see the results." He flexed his right arm, it was as thick as Mike's football honed thigh. All the time this conversation was happening, Donald and Paul Strachan were standing talking as well. "Donald you truly ok, I was worried whether we needed you to go to the Hospital, but Nurse Gibson assured me you were ok bar some bruising, seem you had sense enough to protect everything vital." Coach smiled at this. "Just promise me this, son, that any more problems you come see me. It's not the first time I've had to deal with this type of crap." Donald could only look at Coach Strachan. He was a handsome man, he had played professional Rugby before joining the college, he was in his mid to late forties at a guess. He was about 200 lbs and toned his hair greying splashed with black. "Coach I'm just glad that Mark found you, I would have been a lot worse if not." Coach just nodded and smiles "I am to son. So are you and Mark and item now." Coach said nodding in Marks direction. Donald blushed scarlet, he wasn't used to older guys asking this sort of thing let alone the Coach. Coach noticing his reaction quickly carried on "Sorry Donald, I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just the way you two left after yesterday I was sure you would be by know." Donald didn't really know what to say at this, "Yes and no, this is or first official date, we haven't really sorted it out yet." Donald suddenly felt like he could talk to coach about anything. "Since yesterday we have done a lot of kissing but never really asked each other out properly, we are dating in my eyes." Then changing the subject, "did you enjoy the movie?" Coach just laughed and said "Yes, I loved it, I loved reading about Thor as a kid so this was special. So how about you and Mark did you like it." Donald nodded "It was awesome, I love the guy how played Thor, he was hot, and a good actor, Mark loved it as well but I think his favourite was Volstag." "Well I preferred Antony Hopkins, he's always done it for me." Coach said, then realising what he had said and to whom blushed a little and said, "Just forget what I said." Donald took a chance and asked "Coach Mark told me about Mike, and that he had a boyfriend, are you the guy?" Just as he asked this Mike and Mark headed back towards them. All they heard was Coach saying, "Yes, but don't tell anyone." Mike smiling, enquired "Don't tell them what? Paul." Donald looked at all the guys and smiled, two gay couples who would guess. "We've been found out Mike, this one here got it out of me." Coach said indicating Donald, Mike could only smile, "partly my and Arthurs fault, I assume it was to do with us. This one here was about to ask the same thing I'm sure." pointing at Mark. All the guys started to laugh. Donald and Mark just said, "We won't say a word but we think it's cool. Who would guess looking at you two." then changing track said "I'm hungry, anyone fancy KFC." Donald said yes, Mike and Paul thought for a bit. Mike looking at first Mark and Donald then at his boyfriend said, "Some strips ain't gonna hurt, you could always have salad" then with a wicked smile towards the boys said, "He has such trouble with his weight, as you can see, given his age." It was something of a private joke between Paul and Mike but the boys laughed as well. They headed off to KFC, it was only about 100 yards across the road. They got in and ordered. Mike and Donald got a table, while Paul and Mark waited for their order. Once sitting Mike asked "So how you doing, are you felling ok? You took some hits yesterday. If I hadn't been working I'd have ripped that little bastards balls off and fed them to him for what he did. Maybe better I didn't he is gonna need them." Donald looked a little puzzled. "Why? What's gonna happen, I thought he was being charged." "Yes he is but it turns out he has been charged in the past. For much the same thing so if it gets to court, and trust me it will, Roger will be looking at some time in jail at least. He will be quite popular I can tell you. They like them small." This last was delivered with such an evil grin Donald actually felt a touch sorry for Roger, he quickly pushed that thought out his mind. Mike continued "So Donald, how has your first date gone. You having fun." Mike looked him straight in the eyes, using the same look he had yesterday when he treated Donald's injuries. Donald could only say " Yes" "I like a man of few words", said Mike just as Mark and Paul arrived bearing trays of food. "Thats because if he is quiet it let's you talk which is probably one of your favourite hobbies after the Gym.". Paul said squeezing Mikes shoulder, then sitting down passed out the food. Mark and Donald ate listening to the two older men talk about the movie, then each other. "So guys what you gonna do for the rest of the night" Mike asked looking at the two young men. Me and the old fella here are gonna go home and watch some TV, think there might be some Ice hockey on Eurosport" Paul dead armed him for the old man comment then smiled, whispering, if your good I'll kiss it better. Mark and Donald were amazed, at how the two men got on, "How long you been dating Mike, Paul?" asked Donald. Coach sat and thought for a bit, "We met in autumn 1997, Mike had just got out of the army and I was looking for work after leaving my first job. God it's been almost 14 years. We met at a friends party and started to go to the gym together. We spent weeks pussyfooting around trying to ask each other out, then one day Mike just up and asked me would I go out with him. Now, I was just a little stunned, here was this monster of an ex squaddie asking me on a date. At first I wasn't sure so for a few days delayed my answer." The guys were wrapped with the tale. Mike was sitting smiling the whole time. "I really wasn't sure what to do, when after five days of putting it off I got a visit from Mike, he was in a suit, trust me that on it's own is a sight to see, still is. He was standing there at my door with two bags. He put the bags down and opened one, he pulled out a large bouquet of flowers and handed me them. Then he handed me the other bag. There was a large wrapped box in it, I asked him in as I had noticed one of my neighbour curtain twitching. I took him into my living room, he was like a little kid." "God I was nervous I was finally in your home." Mike added. "He asked me if I had made a decision, I still wasn't sure. He then said open your gift. I had put the flowers next to me, I had never in my life been given flowers. Then there was the box, I ripped of the wrapping and found a brown cardboard box inside. I opened it to find four more boxes. This one here said you need to open them large to small. So I did, the large had a case of beer in it, the next one had a teddy bear in leather in it. The third one was a cd that had Paul on it along with two candles. I got to the last and in it was a card on the back it had instructions. It said before you open this card you must put out any lights and light the candles, then put on the cd. So I did. Then I opened the envelope in it was a menu with a post-it saying "call me and ask for Mikes dinner", and a card that said Paul please be my date. "I guess, looking at it now, it was a little over the top." Mike interjected. Paul just looked at him lovingly and continued. "So I did all the things it said to do and soon we were sitting eating an Italian meal and listening to this disk of really soppy love songs he had compiled. So we sat and ate, once we were done this one here asked me to dance. He dragged me to my feet and proceeded to slow dance with me. And the rest is history, I couldn't say no to this romantic fool and before you ask the bear was to keep me company when he wasn't about. I still have him." Mark and Donald were looking at Coach. Smiling they had just been told all about Mikes first date with Paul. Their date was tame compared to that. "Mike your just a big romantic under all that muscle aren't you". Donald said. Mike just grinned and said "yup, but it worked I got my man, and I ain't loosing him anytime soon.". He then patted Paul's hand oblivious to the people around their table. All four men continued their chat, the boys asking questions occasionally. The food was done so they decided it was time to leave. They all trooped out and walked back toward the car park for the cinema, they were parked two rows apart so stood saying goodbye. Mike hugged the boys goodnight, it was a scary feeling behind wrapped up in the arms of this monster, but fun. They shook Paul's hand and said goodbye. Once in the car Mark sat for a bit, he turned and looked at Donald. "So how did you enjoy our first date, I've had a great time so far. You?" Donald smiled "I've had a fantastic time so far, to think I could have been doing this sooner if only I had been a little more obvious.". "Cool so what now, yours or mine?" "Depends on your plans we do have college tomorrow so maybe best we go to mine." answered Donald. Mike started the car and they headed home. They mostly talked about how good the movie was but also a little about Mike and Paul. They liked them and would like to go out again as a group, they may be older but they were a good laugh. They finally pulled up at Donald's and sat for a bit, "You want to come in for a bit, I take it you don't have to be home for a little while yet?" "I'd love to if that's ok". They both got out the car and headed into Donald's house. Donald sat and Mark sat next to him his arm along the back of the couch. Donald leaned and kissed him. "Thanks for tonight, I really enjoyed myself, does this mean we are officially a couple? If so when we going out again. I want to be woe'd like Mike did with Paul." Mark started to laugh, "What you want flowers ,chocolate and candles? Maybe I should talk to Mike tomorrow and get some ideas." Both boys laughed at this. They kissed hard and long slowly caressing each other. They had both promised to themselves to take their time, it was hard going but they knew when the time was right it would all happen naturally. They sat together on Donald's couch holding each other. Occasionally one, or the other would look into the eyes of his boyfriend and steal a kiss. They were relaxed and comfortable where they were not a care other than being next to each other. Mark suddenly noticed the time they had, been "snuggling", that was the best description, for almost 2 hours. He was horny but wanted to wait. It would come soon enough in more ways than one. "I gotta go, it's late I'll see you at college tomorrow." Donald didn't want to let go he could feel Marks heat, his hardness, it felt so good be he was going to wait. "You know I don't want to go but, I know I'll see you soon, tomorrow. Then it's only a week to term end. You got plans?" "To spend all my time with you." They started to kiss again and eventually let go of each other Donald reluctantly walked Mark to the door kissing him as they went. "Night handsome, sweet dreams, I had a great night" Donald said as he so Mark out. "Night to you to, I'll see you in our dreams." Mark replied watching Donald smile. He walked down the path adjusting himself, then getting into the car drove off. Both boys were in bed thirty minutes later texting each other sending their love over the telecom network. Monday was soon here, Mark woke to the sound of his Mother calling him that breakfast was ready. He got up stretched , scratched and said he would be down in a few minutes. He needed to shower he had dreamed of Donald during the night it had been quite erotic and the inevitable had happened. He was hot and sticky so a quick shower was needed. Almost at the same time at the other side of town Donald's alarm was rousing him from a very different night. It had started with him dreaming of Mark, them kissing and making out. Then Roger had appeared in the dream attacking them both, his dream of love had turned into a nightmare. He also had to shower but purely to get rid of the stench of fear sweat. He showered and got dressed, ate breakfast and heading out to college. He knew he would see Mark soon and things would get better. Mark was dressed, fed and out the door. A week to go and it would be over for a while, the holidays were soon to be here. He had thought about what Donald had said about being woe'd, he had an Idea but needed to talk to his dad first, he would do it later. Donald on arriving at the college noticed how people were looking at him, some said "hi" others "you ok" and some just ignored him. He realised the news of what had happened on Saturday must have gotten round. He wanted to see Mark but it would be lunch time before that could happen. It was Geoff he met first, he was waiting outside their first class. Geoff was in most of Donald's classes, Mark only in four or five. Geoff saw Donald approach, saw how people reacted, he moved to stand with Donald, smiling. "Hey there, how you doing. Mark text me last night to say you two had got to see Thor. How was it?" "Hi there Geoff, it was a fantastic movie. You should go see it, in fact I might go again if you wanted to go." Donald stood facing Geoff. As he did he was unaware of the of Mr Garvin, assistant head of the college approaching till he spoke to him. "Donald, could you come with me please? We need to talk about Saturday." Donald turned and followed Mr Garvin to his office. When he got there he found Coach Strachan and Mike waiting. They all enter the office and sat. "Donald, don't worry this is only a meeting to let you know what we are doing regards what happened to you on Saturday. Thanks to Mike from Security and Mr Strachan we know most of what happened and have passed this to the police. You will no doubt have to make a statement to them as well, we will arrange a suitable time and support when this happens. Right where to start, we know what the cause was and what actually happened, I plan to talk to Mark and Geoff after this. Don't worry we know their parts in this and no action will be taken against Geoff. As for the others, the team members that left the locker room will be spoken to and asked why. Nothing else. As for those who were involved but caused no injury, they have been suspended. They will have to re-sit any missed exams." he paused at this point letting Donald absorb what was said. "As for Roger he has been expelled and after the police finish there investigation I'm sure he will be charged. We will know this by the end of the week. Do you have anything you want to ask or add to this Donald." He looked at Donald then at Coach and Mike. Donald thought for a bit and said "Mr Garvin, there is not a lot I can add to this except that the help I got from Coach and Mike was excellent, I want to thank them for all they did. As for the police I'd like to get that out the way as soon as possible." "We will see what we can do Donald. You may return to class." Donald left looking and smiling at Coach and Mike as he did. He headed to class and on getting there found Geoff had kept a seat for him. He sat with him, it felt weird, Geoff had always been friendly saying hello and acknowledging him now he was a friend, a guilty one at that. He smiled to himself, he did like Geoff, not in that way, he was fun to be with was all. At the end of class, they got up to leave and Geoff asked, "So Mr Garvin want? Was it about Saturday?" "Yes, he was making sure I was ok, Mike and Paul, I mean Coach Strachan were there as well. They had told Mr Garvin all that happened, I'm to see the police soon, hopefully today or tomorrow. Then there will possibly be a court case. I'll have to go I think." Geoff just nodded, then said "Let's go, we got a free then it's economics." They headed to the library and found it unusually busy. Donald noticed people watching him, even Geoff noticed. Neither was sure if it was because he had been attacked or because he was now know to be gay, only time would tell. Their free period and economics flew past, it was soon lunchtime and Donald was desperate to talk to Mark, it had been at least twelve hours since they last spoke. 'god I must be in love I can't wait to see him.' They both walked into the cafeteria and spotted Mark surrounded by the football team, well what was left of it. Donald suddenly felt uncomfortable, he was about to turn and leave when Geoff moved next to him and spoke very quietly "Donald you can do this, your more man than any of them. Look at you two days ago you had been attacked and now your here. Let's grab some food and go sit with Mark." he smiled at Donald, as the mere mention of Marks name made him smile. 'Wish I loved like that' Geoff thought to himself, leading Donald over to the self service counter. They grabbed some food and headed to the table. Donald didn't know but as soon as he had entered the room Mark had seen him, he also saw the hesitation and Geoff talking to him. He felt bad as he wanted to sit with Donald but the remaining team members had sat with him asking what had happened. It would be interesting to see how this went. There were one or two of the guys that were close to Roger, they would need watching. Finally Geoff and Donald moved to the table. The guys had occupied most of the seats but Geoff soon shifted them, "they weren't eating" he said so "Donald and I need access to the table." As team Captian most of the guys moved to let him in next to Mark. One guy, Fredrick, a friend of Roger glared at Donald and refused to move at first, until he was pulled from his seat by two of the other team members and told to stop being an asswipe. Mark turned to Donald asking if he was ok, to which he got a nod. Donald was uncomfortable but Mark had made sure he was between Geoff and himself, he was safe. Mark had also managed to press his leg against Donald's under the table for extra reassurance. Donald eventually started to talk to some of the guys, in the main they were good lads and felt bad about what had happened, there was however some notable glances from Frederick and another guy called Paul. Mark and Geoff both noticed this and made a promise to themselves to sort it out. Lunch was almost over and Donald had started to relax a bit. He spoke to Mark "Did Mr Garvin see you?" Mark nodded then spoke. "Yeh, he told me that we were to see the police, they are coming between two and three today and Geoff and I may be called as witnesses, if it goes to court. You gonna be ok? Donald nodded he hadn't heard anything from Mr Garvin about the police yet. The bell went and the three guys headed to class when they met Mr Garvin coming the other way. "Well this saves me time" he said "I'd like to see the three of you after your next class, you will be meeting with a detective who wants to ask you some questions." They all nodded and then headed to there class, it flew in and soon they were outside Mr Garvin office again. He led them to another office slightly larger and entered, inside was, the coach and Mike, also two other men, one in a police uniform and another in plain clothes. Mr Garvin introduced them to the Detective and the PC, Detective Inspector Grey and Police Constable Kowalski. They all sat and the questioning began, they spoke of how they had been involved in the incident, Donald was asked some personal questions then the detective closed his pad. He thanked them all for their time and said that he was certain that the case would be in court soon, possibly in a week or so. The boys thought just in time for the start of the break, what a way to relax, not. With this said the Detective and PC got up to leave, shaking everyone's hand. As PC Kowalski shook Donald's hand he gave it a squeeze. Donald a little stunned looked up at him and got a shy smile in return, "I hope your ok now, I was the arresting officer on Saturday. I only got a glance at you but from the nurse's and security's reports you were fairly banged up. I'll see you before court, take care." With this he left and headed to catch up with DI Grey. As the boys had missed most of their last class Mr Garvin sent them home early. They trooped out and headed home. Mark asked Donald if he wanted to come over, he could see Donald was a little unsettled by the events of today, he wanted to make things better if he could. Donald thanked him but said he just wanted to go home and chill, he wouldn't be good company in his present state. Geoff hearing the interplay said he would leave them to say goodbye and headed off home. He lived only about five minutes walk from Mark's. Donald and Mark stood watching Geoff walk away, "He's a fantastic guy, best friend a guy could have well best non boyfriend anyway." said Mark smiling. This made Donald smile a little. "Yeh he is, now I'm starting to get to know him. Mark I'm sorry about not coming over but I just need some time." With this he squeezed Marks shoulder and headed off home. Mark stood watching him go then headed of in the same direction as Geoff, at a trot. Mark text him later asking how he was and got a reply saying he was feeling a bit better and he would see them at college. Donald woke the next day feeling dreadful. He called the college and spoke to one of the admin team telling her he would not be in that day, he wasn't questioned. Mark called him when he found he wasn't in, he was worried and planned to come over to make sure all was well. Donald managed to put him off by saying he had a bug and would be fine. He went to bed and slept till the next day. He woke to find 5 texts, one from Geoff the rest from Mark, on his phone. He missed Mark but didn't want company. There were only 3 days of college left so he decided he would take this day off also and go in the last two days to say goodbye to a few people. He replied to Mark to say he would see him Thursday at college and then sent a message to Geoff saying much the same. It was now Wednesday evening and Donald was lying on the couch thinking about his life. He knew he loved Mark and felt bad for the last two days, but he needed time to sort himself out. As he lay there, feeling sorry for himself, he heard someone knocking the door. He got up and answered it, there stood Geoff and Mark. "Can we come in." Geoff asked, Donald wanted to say no, but invited them in. Hey went into the living room and Mark sat watching him. As he came and sat down, he sat on a single chair away from Mark, Geoff was in a second armchair. Mark looked dejected, he didn't know what was wrong and he couldn't help unless he did. "Donald, what's wrong, we are worried," Geoff asked. Mark wasn't sure what to say he had been in love five days and now this, in his mind this was Donald's way of saying it's over. Geoff continued, "Donald if we know what's wrong we may be able to help, I know Mark is really worried about you.". Donald looked over at Mark, he could see Mark looked pale his eyes sunken. "It's difficult to talk about, guys, I've been alone for a while and so used to dealing with problems on my own. I found Monday really difficult, not so much the police and stuff but how people reacted to me. Especially lunch time, it brought back all the feelings I had and felt." Mark had stood half way through Donald's speech and moved next to his seat, he knelt and took his hand as Donald finished. "Donald, you are not alone anymore, you have me loving you, and Geoff supporting you. Let us help you through this. You'd be surprised at who would help you, I'm sure." Donald looked at first him then at Geoff who was nodding agreement to all Mark had said. He could feel Mark gently squeezing his hand. He suddenly realised how much Mark cared about him, he looked down to see Mark was gently sobbing, this was enough to set him off. He leant forward grabbing Mark in a ferocious hug tears starting to stream down his cheeks. "Mark I'm such a fool, I'm so sorry I shut you out, Christ we only just started dating so I can only guess what you thought. I am fool I know you love me, god knows I love you, but I'm so used to not having support. Can you forgive me?" Mark by now was returning the hug, listening to Donald. He leant in to kiss Donald who readily accepted it, tears still running down his face, he knew he could count on Mark and Geoff for support, his healing had started. Geoff sat watching, feeling left out a little but his overriding thought was all would be well. He loved Mark as a brother and Donald was special to him as well now, he stood quietly and left the room. Neither Mark or Donald noticed him go till later, once the tears were over and all the sorries had been said by both men. They finally noticed Geoff was not there, they called out for him but got no response. They finally found him in the kitchen sitting on the counter, he had been crying also. He assured them that it was tears of happiness, but Mark knew with Geoff it might have been more. They talked about the last two days of college and what they would do to celebrate their freedom.
