They picked up their tickets and found seats, the place was packed. Throughout the film, both couples held hands, for Mark and Donald it was weird to see Coach holding a guys hand. Soon enough the film was over and the guys all headed out the cinema. They headed to the car saying how good the film had been and discussing the various scenes that had impressed them. They reached Mark?s car and once inside, they sat for a bit letting the car park empty but there was still a queue at both exits when they finally started to head. They talked about what to do next, it was just after ten, it would be almost an hour before they got home. They decided to head home and once there they could stop at Marks for a night cap. The film discussion started again. They were about ten minutes from home and the conversation had changed to their holiday plans when Mike spoke. "Guys, how is Geoff? I saw him last night outside The Tam, he was being spoken to by the police." Mark and Donald looked at each other then Mark spoke. "He's ok it was probably Toby he was talking to, you know the cop that was in on the interview with us about Donald's attack." He had taken a hand from the wheel and squeezed Donald's leg at this then placed it back on the wheel. "I had wondered, I was talking to a friend at bar across the street when I saw him, I wasn?t sure" The conversation continued a little and soon they were at Mark's. They piled out and went in, Mark asking if the guys wanted a drink. It was to be beers all round, so after a quick visit to the kitchen they headed to the living room and sat chatting. "Coach, I mean Paul, it's weird seeing you out of school but I have to say it's been fun. You and Mike behave so much younger than your age." Donald said smiling. Both men laughed and smiled "You know what I mean, it's not that your old but you look and behave younger." Donald added blushing he wasn't putting this over correctly and was now embarrassed. "Thanks for the compliment Donald I know what you mean so don't worry, it must be having to deal with hoards of young men like you and Mark that keep me young and obviously Mike here never really grew up so that also helps." Mike leant closer and kissed Paul then slapped him "Ya cheeky sod, I can be all grown up but you don't like it when I am, I think you just want a young hot man but worried about the age difference so when I came along it was the best of all worlds. Hunky, hot young looking but mature when required." Paul burst out laughing, as did the boys, at this from Mike. "Hey what did I say that was so funny." He said smiling. "You my handsome partner are a consummate bullshitter and that's why I love you to death." They kissed at this. Both Donald and Mark looked at each other then "Aawww! The oldies can still show affection to one another". Mark said ducking to avoid a cushion that flew at him. He had barely recovered when Mike had grabbed him and pinned him to the ground. Donald and Paul were laughing. Mike held Mark with one hand and started to tickle him. Soon Mark was howling trying as he might to get Mike to let him go, but all in vain. By know they were all laughing at the pair on the floor. Mark was howling and pleading with Mike to stop tickling him. "Mike you better stop, Mark has been known to wet himself when tickled." This started the laughing all over again and Mike stopped but held Mark down with ease. Mark looked at the man kneeling on the ground holding him down, as he tried to catch his breath. Mike was a handsome man, he had never looked at him closely till know. He felt guilty, and started to blush a little. Mike noticed and on helping him up and giving him hug whispered. "Don't worry about it we were having a laugh and it can happen." Thinking that Mark had got a little hard, Mark blushed even more. They grabbed another round of drinks and soon were talking about holiday plans. Mike and Paul were heading to the USA for a week then a week in Canada. Mark and Donald had not discussed things like that as they had only just started dating, there was also the problem of Donald's job. He still had shifts to cover over the holiday period, in fact he was working the next two weeks from 7 till midnight. Which would mean no Mark except through the day, they would have to sort something out. Eventually, after one am, Mike and Paul said their goodbyes and left the two young men to their own devices. "So handsome, why the red face with Mike, did you get all worked up with him roughing you up, do I need to worry." said Donald Mark looked at Donald then at his feet, guilt was getting the better of him. "I was blushing because I like Mike I think he is hot.? Donald looked at his boyfriend and on seeing his face started to laugh. Mark's face showed the hurt he felt at this. Donald quickly regained his composure and hugged Mark. "Mark I'm so sorry for laughing at you, you don't need to feel guilty about what happened, Christ Mike is hot and I probably would have had other reactions if he had been doing what he did to me. I love you and know you love me, well at least I hope that's the case. I know it's hard, more for you as you are new to the whole gay thing. I also know that you will see guys that you like, I still do. But know this I will only ever love you, I want you with me always. I was thinking about the next week or so, I'm working but want to see you as much as possible. How about you come stay with me at mine. I'm sure your mom and dad would love the peace and quiet." He released Mark at this and stood back, he could see the tears on Marks cheek. "What's wrong Mark? Why are you crying? What did I do to upset you" this was all said with concern clear in Donald's voice. Mark still looking at the ground, sniffed. "It's just you, I love you, you tell me that it's ok to look but if I do I will always feel like I'm cheating, then you go and say you want me to stay with you. That is all I want, I only want you, I only love you, the rest are nothing, god I feel like I'm confessing to cheating. Donald I love you so much, I love you more than life, I want to stay with you. Let's go to bed, I need to be hugged." He eventually looked up at this last comment looking into Donald's eyes, his eyes pleading for Donald to say yes. "Mark, I love you so much, I feel bad for laughing at your discomfort. Can you forgive me?" Donald had captured Marks hands in his and was gently rubbing the back of them with his thumbs. I will always love you, you saved me, I can never repay you for that. " Mark was blushing the tears had now stopped and he looked at Donald 'I love this guy so much it hurts, I look at a guy and he asks for forgiveness. God how can he stand me'. Donald looked at Mark seeing the look on his face, he was worried about something, Donald pulled him to him and said. ?Let's go to bed Lover, you can punish me later for laughing, I think we need our sleep. We can talk more in the morning, and to stop you worrying and if it's something you want I'll forgive you for fancying Mike." Mark pulled back and smiled slightly. "Let's get to bed and thank you for forgiving me." Mark felt a little better after this. He took Donald by his hand and moved to the stairs. Soon they were, brushing teeth and relieving their bladders and removing their clothing. Donald now naked pulled the duvet back and jumped into bed. He rolled to face Mark, smiling. "You gonna join me." Mark moved to the bed and got in he lay there on his back, still a little sorry for himself, then he rolled onto his side facing Donald, leaning in to kiss him. He slid across the bed till he was next to Donald then put his hand out to touch Donald's chest. Donald reached to take the hand and held it over his heart. "Mark, this heart of mine beats for you, I see you and I want you. Will you hold me tonight, we need to just be together I think, let's get comfy." On saying this he rolled onto his side, still holding Marks hand to his heart, and moved back against Mark, who was now plastered against his back. The moved a little till they were comfy then they were asleep. They lay till the morning in this position, Mark smiling as he did. ------------------------------------- Geoff woke it was early evening, almost time for, Toby to go to work. The room smelled of sex, they had wanked each other, twice, before falling asleep. He moved to get up and go pee, this in turn woke Toby who looked at his naked arse moving towards the bathroom. "You have one hot arse, football boy, I love the way it moves as you walk." Geoff turned and smiled at Toby blushing, "Your one to talk, you could bounce ten pences of your arse, it's so tight." Then continued into the toilet, the sound of water on water soon followed. Toby stretched and moved to sit up, Geoff soon returned and knelt on the bed looking at Toby. 'this is what I want' he thought, 'I love how he smiles, how he moves, I just want to be with him.' Toby smiled and kissed Geoff. "Thanks for staying, I haven't sleep like that in a while, I am ready for anything. Let's get a shower, grab a bite then I will have to get to work. Ideally don't want to leave you but needs must." Geoff just knelt smiling at him nodding, "Will you be at the gym tomorrow?" "No Gym tomorrow I go swimming in the afternoon. You could meet me at 5 we can swimming for an hour then ...." he left the sentence unfinished smiling. They showered cleaning each other thoroughly then ate some pasta together. All to soon it was time for Toby to head to work. They arranged as they walked to meet at the swimming pool the next day and then checking for people around, which there were none, kissed and headed their separate ways. Geoff smiled to himself as he walked home, he knew what love was and how it felt, he had loved Lorraine, he knew he now loved Toby, as they walked further apart he could feel the need for being with him. He pulled out his phone and text him. "luv u, see u 2moro X. G" He felt better after that, he walked home and on getting there was asked by his mum where he had been, she had eased up about the upcoming court visit, which was still to be finalised, he told her he had been at the gym then with a friend. He asked her how she was and headed up the stairs to his room. For all the sleep he had had, he was soon in bed, palm and her sisters got a workout, while he thought of Toby. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Toby was just leaving the changing room at the police station when he heard his name called. He turned and saw Wendy walking towards him. He smiled at her, "Hi Wendy, you ok?" "I'm good, how are you?" She said with a questioning smile. "Did you see you know who? Looking at you I'd guess yes. Did you have fun?" Toby laughed at her directness. "Yes to all, we met at the gym then went back to mine and slept, we ate and I came here. Nothing much." "I find it hard to believe you two just slept. So you gonna see him again?" this was asked in a hushed voice. "Yeh, I think I might have met the one. But will wait and see, it just seems to good to be true. They signed in and went to find out where they were to patrol tonight. Being Sunday it would, hopefully be quiet. Toby and Wendy's shift was uneventful, Toby thought 'two down two to go. Maybe I should organise something with Geoff for my off days something romantic.' He continued his shift his thought on Geoff most of it. Wendy saw how distracted he was and smiled, she was happy for him. He was a good guy and deserved the best, even if she couldn't have him. The shift passed slowly, but soon enough they were heading home, their separate ways. Toby felt the bed empty when he finally got in it but the thought of meeting with Geoff later made him smile. It also had another effect on him, he dealt with that before falling asleep holding a pillow. ---------------------- Mike was up and out of bed so he could start is workout, Paul lay in bed still asleep, he loved the look of him in the morning. Paul was well built, he was 5'11 with a 52 chest and a 34 waist, he had played professional rugby, until an injury finished his career at 24 and he went into coaching. He was covered in fur, a true muscle daddy and Mike love him. As Mike started his training in the little gym they had set up one of their back rooms he thought of how they met. He had just left the military,,a young corporal and medic, he had known he was gay and had played around in the military. But he never had a steady boyfriend, it was a year after leaving the army that he was invited to a friends party and spotted Paul. His friend had said there would be a few eligible men there that night but Paul was the only one he saw that he felt attracted to. They cruised each other most of the night and eventually they spoke and the following week were dating. That had been 14 years ago and a wonderful fourteen year it had been. He heard movement in the hall then a door close, Paul was up and would join him soon, he was still warming up on their bike when Paul walked in, "Morning Handsome, what you working today?" "In from ten till 7 then, same tomorrow then that's me for two and a half weeks. You teachers get all the luck and all the holidays." He leant over a little to kiss his lover, Paul lent in to the kiss smiling. Then moved to a small rowing machine to start a warm up. They would train for an hour on the cardio equipment then both men would work the weights for usually half an hour to an hour. This they had done from almost the day they had move in together, their sports and military background helping them in this. "It was good seeing the boys last night, although I find it weird socialising with students. I know I shouldn't worry about it but all this time in the closet at work so to speak has it's side effects." Most of the college staff knew about Paul and Mike being partners, that was as far as it went until recently anyway when Donald and Mark had found out. He knew that the two lads would keep his secret but he worried about his standing with the rest of the students if it got out. Mike smiled as he continued his cycle "Who cares about that, I mean the students are probably more accepting than the actual staff. Well in most cases anyway." Paul looked over at Mike, he was deep in thought. "I want to have the lads over for a meal, before we have off on holiday, you, me, Donald and Mark. Maybe even Geoff. He is inseparable from Mark normally, maybe we could have a Barbecue and invite over more than just them, my mom, Arthur and Karen Williams. It would be nice to see them again, so how about it shall we sort it out say for the weekend after next. You can do your Hot Balls." He got up from the rowing machine, his face twitching a little trying to control his laughter. "Not that your normal balls aren't hot, my handsome medic.". He wrapped his arms around Mike and pulled him back against him kissing the back of his neck. Mike turned enough to return the kiss then got off the bike and held Paul maybe we could miss one day of training, I suddenly feel I want a protein laden breakfast, you up to serving it." He said pulling Paul to the weight bench and pushing him to sit. Paul was hard as soon as his arse touched bench, he loved it when Mike was like this. Mike pushed him onto his back and suddenly they were naked and kissing. This went on for at least ten minutes both men's hands exploring, teasing each other. Mike loved how hairy Paul was, he would be hairy himself if he didn't have Paul help shave him every week. They made love there on the bench both men reaching orgasm after about thirty minutes of playing. They got up and washed then talked more about the barbecue. It was decided after checking the coming weekend?s weather to try for it then, Mike said he would contact the Williams if Paul called the boys. ----------------------------------------------------------- Donald and Mark woke to the sound of movement in the house, they were still in bed wrapped around each other. Mark moved to sit up and listen, he thought heard footsteps on the stairs. "Donald, there back, mom and dad are home, we better get up." As he move to get up and put on underwear there was a knock and the door opened, "You up darling". Elspeth Williams said as she walked in to the room. She stopped at the sight that confronted her a look of shock passing over her face. There was Mark sitting on the edge of the bed naked, and Donald lying next to him obviously naked as well. "Mum, your back early". Said Mark as she looked at both boys and spoke. "What's going on? Why you both naked and sharing a bed?" Just at this point Arthur Williams appeared in the doorway taking in the scene he had caught the end of his wife's questions. "Oh hell, Elspeth I think we better let the boys get up and dressed then we can talk." "What do mean by that? Arthur, what is going on?" "Honey let's go down the stairs, guys get up and join us in the kitchen. Please" Arthur led his wife away, she kept repeating the question about the boys and bed. Mark looked at Donald "We better get up, mum will be ok once she get over the shock of finding us in bed, well at least I hope she will." They then got up and quickly flung on some clothes and headed to down the stairs. As the boys were dressing, Arthur was talking to his wife. "Elspeth, I had hoped to speak to you about this." "About what Arthur, about the fact that our son is a poof, that the minute we are out the house he is sleeping with men, I take it you knew?" Elspeth was angry, she was angry at her son, she was now angry at her husband as well Arthur a little stung by his wife's comment looked at her and spoke calmly. "Yes I knew, I found out last week, I was going to talked to you about it when we were away but never got a chance. Mark and Donald are boyfriends, Donald is a lovely guy that is in college with Mark. I can't tell you how they met, that's up to Donald, but let me say this Mark grew up that day. They have been dating for almost two weeks and from what I can tell are very much in love. Mark spoke to me about it last weekend." Just at this point the lads appeared in the doorway to the kitchen. "Hi mum, hi dad, you know Donald" Elspeth, looked at them both and then turned her back. "Guys we need to talk." said Arthur The boys looked at each other and then sat at the table used for breakfast. Elspeth turned and looked at the boys sitting there together. She wasn't happy with what she saw, she saw the closeness between them in the way they had move the chairs side by side. "So Mark are you going to answer my question why were you in bed naked with this boy." Elspeth tactlessly asked, Arthur moved to say something and was stopped by a look from his wife. "I want him to answer me." she said. The boys looked at one another, then at Arthur. "Mum, Donald is my boyfriend we have been dating for a couple of weeks, we love each other and while you were away he stayed and kept me company." He looked at her to gauge her response to this, she had hung her head. "You brought, this boy home and slept with him in your bed, how can you now you love him after such a short time? What did he do to get you in bed?" This last question got a snort of laughter from Arthur. "Elspeth I can tell you Donald did nothing." Arthur said Mark was still thinking on how to answer when Donald spoke up. "Mrs Williamson, Mark and I met at school, he save my life, I fell in love with him that day, let's just say I'm glad the feeling was mutual. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me, as I said I literally owe him my life." Elspeth was a little taken back that Donald had spoke to her, who was he, it was clear though in the way he spoke he had strong feeling about her son. "So Donald as you seem to be answering for my son and you say you love him, why are you trying to turn him?" she was angry now this stranger had taken her son from her, well at least in her eyes he had. Had she stopped to think she would have realised this was not the case. The three men looked at her shocked that she had been so aggressive, Donald stood, Mark reached out his hand to hold him but Donald shook it off. "Mrs Williamson, I love Mark more than he will ever know, for your knowledge I was attacked at school by a bigot, had Mark not Ben there I you would not have the problem you think you have." With this he looked at Arthur and Mark. "Thank you for a fantastic weekend Mark it was the best I have ever had, I'll see you soon, Mr Williamson thanks for your support. Mrs Williamson, if you feel like I'm stealing your son think again, I have dealt with a few bigots in my time and the best way for me to do that is ignore them. I will get my things and leave you, enjoy it." With this Donald left the room and disappeared upstairs to gather his bag. Mark looked at his mum "Why?" Was all he could manage. He waited for an answer bit now came. He got up to go find Donald. "Mark I love you and know this is not you, you aren't gay he turned you." Mark stopped and looked at the woman he called mum. "Mum, I have never been anything with anyone till I saw Donald getting attacked, I knew as I helped him that I wanted to be with him, I love him mum. I love you also but if I have to choose...." He left it at that and left to go upstairs. As he did he could here weeping, he entered his room to find Donald his bag at his feet crying. He sat next to him putting his arm round him. "Donald I love you, my mum was wrong to say what she did. I think she is just in shock. Look I'm going to take you home, give me a minute, your in no fit state to walk. I want to make sure your ok." At this point he could hear his father?s raised voice. It was obvious his parents were arguing. He got up and went to the door closing it, then went back to Donald sitting and holding him. Donald still crying held him tight. "I don't want to split you and your family up, I know what it's like to not have a mum to love." Donald spoke through the tears. "Look D leave it to me to sort out, I told my mum how I felt about you, my dad knows how I feel you should know how I feel. Look stopped crying and go give your face a quick wash, while you do I'll get the car keys." With this Mark headed out the room, Donald sat tears still wetting his cheeks, 'why am I crying, it's not my problem, although I don't know what I'd do if I lost Mark.' at this he got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Mark found his dad in the kitchen, his mother wasn't there. "You ok Mark? How's Donald?" his dad asked him "Not that good dad he is upstairs crying, he feels unloved and he doesn't want to split me from my family. Why did mum react like that? I thought she would be ok with it?" His dad looked at him, "I can't answer that Mark, other than it's may have been a bit of a shock to see her little angel growing up." Mark looked at his feet, thinking, "Dad can I take Donald home, I don't want him here for mum to have a go at again, he has had enough shit lately." His dad passed him the keys, "Take him home and help him Mark, I'll sort your mum out and call you. I love you son, and tell Donald I care for him to." Mark looked at his dad then disappeared back to his room, he grabbed a couple of things and flung them in a bag. "Come on handsome, we are leaving." He said. They left and on passing the kitchen saw Arthur sitting his head in his hands. Both boys felt sorry but continued to the car, they were soon at Donald's. "Donald, dad said not to worry he would sort out mum." Mark said as they entered the house. "He also said I am not to go back till he calls, is that ok." Donald looked at Mark and smiled weakly, he was still upset at what had happened. He moved throughout the house dumping his gear in his room then went and sat in the living room Mark followed him and then sat next to him. When Mark move close and put his arm over Donald's shoulder he flinched. "Sorry Mark, I didn't mean that." Mark could see Donald was upset, as was he, he hoped his dad could sort things out. They sat side by side on the couch, then Donald lay down placing his head in Marks lap. Mark started to gently stroke his arm and his head, which seemed to make him relax. "Mark, I love you, I love you so much and I don't want to lose you." "Donald why are you saying that? You?re not going to lose me I love you as well. Look how about I go home and get some more gear and I can stay with you for a few days. It will give mum time to sort herself out and it would be fun. How about it?" Donald rolled slightly and looked up at his lover, yes he was his lover and he knew that deep down, "I'd like that, but please stay for now, I need company." Mark lent forward and kissed Donald's upturned face and then resumed stroking him, the tv was showing trivia and soon Donald was sleeping still in Mark's lap. Mark felt love like he had never felt, the man in his lap was the centre of his life, he did not want him hurt, he sat resting his hand on Donald's chest feeling his heartbeat. 'good I love you, why do people have to be such wankers, I hate to see you hurting'. He sat watching the tv not taking it in, he was happy here with Donald. It had been almost an hour since Donald fell asleep, Mark was watching some documentary on the Roman Empire, when Donald started to tremble and whimper, suddenly Donald screamed, Mark immediately started stroking Donald and talking to him. "Donald it's me, Donald it's Mark, you?re ok it's only a dream". Mark pulled him closer to him holding him tighter as the shaking got worse. "Donald it me it Mark your ok, it's just a dream, I'm with you." Donald whimpering continued and he still thrashed a little but seemed to be calming down a little as Mark stroked him. Mark kept talking to him calmly and Donald seemed to relax then he lay still and resumed a normal breathing pattern, Mark still held him tightly watching him. He notice Donald was smiling now, he wondered what the dream had been about. About twenty minutes later Donald stirred, he rolled onto his back and his eyes opened he look straight up into the face of Mark and smiled. Marks heart skipped at the smile, 'that's the smile that on Helen launched a thousand ships' he thought 'then again Helen might as well have been a guy, we know what the Greeks were like' he grinned to himself. "Hi handsome, you feeling better? You had a bad dream I take it." Donald face clouded over a little. "Yes, I dreamt about the attack, you weren't there and your mum was one of the attackers. Then you came charging in and throw everyone off then you just held me, I felt so safe then. You then told me that you loved me and would always be with me. I felt safe as I always do when with you." Marked smiled at him, Donald reached up and pulled Mark down into a kiss. They kissed for some time then broke apart. "Donald I'm going to call dad, I want to go and get some stuff so I can stay at least a couple of nights. You want to come with me or you going to be ok here." Donald thought for a minute "I'll come then wait outside, we can get a taxi back that way the your dad has his car." Mark could only smile at how Donald always thought of others. They sat holding each other for a little longer then Mark called his dad. The call only took a minute or so. Mark came off the phone and looked at Donald. "Ok , dad says mum has gone out, she is still upset, he said it's fine for me to come and stay for a bit, he is still trying to came mum down. So let's go." They got up and after a quick toilet stop headed out. Marks dad was waiting at the door when the car was parked in the drive. "You guys ok? Donald I'm sorry about earlier, Elspeth isn't normally like that, but it still doesn't excuse what she did. Mark go get a bag packed and I'll talk to Donald." Mark looked at Donald and smiled, he disappeared up the stairs. "Donald, I'm really sorry about earlier, I know you've got a lot going on and been through a lot recently, but I see how much you and Mark care for each other. I know he cares for you greatly, probably loves you. He hasn't really spoken to me about it much. But I see how you two look at each other and I'm happy for you." Donald looked at his feet for a bit as he thought what to say. "Mr Williamson, thank you. I do love Mark, I know we only just know each other but I feel alone and scared when he isn't about. When he is there I feel safe, loved. I don't want to be without him but I don't want to come between him and you and his mum. I know too well what it's like to be without your parents support." "Donald that will never be an issue, as long as Mark is happy I am and I'm sure once his mother sits down and thinks about it she will be to. It will just take a little time. Look, give me a moment I want to make a quick call and ask someone a favour. Get yourself a coke or something from the fridge." With this he left the room, Donald head to the fridge and pulled out a coke then grabbed another and headed to Mark's room. Mark was busy packing a holdall with clothing as Donald entered and passed him a can. "Your dads a great guy, I like him a lot. He want us to be happy, I wish he was my dad." Donald sat at the edge of the bed Mark thanked him for the coke and then gave him a hug. "Tell him that I'm sure he would be ok with it. I'm almost done here, then we can head. I love you so much Donald." Donald just smiled at this and drank his coke. Meanwhile Arthur Williamson was on the phone, he had called the one person he knew who might know what was going on in Donald's mind, Mike. "Hi Mike, you got a minute, I need some advice." "What's up Arthur, Sure I've got a minute the old man here is resting." There was a muffled response on the other end of the phone then Arthur heard, "ouch, ok, ok you?re not old. So what's up? What you needing to talk about?" "Its Donald and Mark, Elspeth walked in on them this morning and went loopy.? ?Shit? from the other end of the phone. ? She more or less accused Donald of corrupting Mark. Well the boys left this morning and then Elspeth left. Mark is here at the moment packing a bag to go stay at Donald's. The problem I have is Donald seems shaken by what happened, I haven't talked to Mark yet but have with Donald, the way he is talking he is thinking of leaving Mark so he doesn't lose his parents. I was hoping I could mention what happened when you and Paul met and got together. I know you went through it yourself." "Yeh, I don't have an issue with that and you can tell him to call me to talk as well. He has had a hard time the past week or so and the only stabilising influence has been Mark. We were out with them yesterday and I have not seen him as happy in a long time. Tell him if he needs or wants to talk he can call us." "Mike your are a fantastic guy and I'll tell Donald. I want a word with Mark before I do though. Takecare my friend love to you both." "Arthur you know we are here for you anytime, you are a fantastic mate." With this both men hung up. Arthur went up to see the boys. "Mark can I have a word? Donald will you give me a moment with Mark? Well go through to my room and talk. You can wait here or go down to the kitchen if you want" "I'll wait here if that's ok." Arthur smiled and then guiding his son out the room crossed the hall to his own bedroom. He entered and closed the door. "Mark I need to know how Donald is handling this morning?s little event? Is he ok? " Mark looked at his dad, his face showing his worry. "Dad he is badly shaken by it, I thought he was more or less over his attack he seems ok when I'm there but when we were at his house he fell asleep in my lap and had a nightmare, mum's attitude brought it all back to him. It scared me a little but all I could do was hold him. Dad I love him so much and it hurts to see him like that. He likes you by the way he wished you were his dad earlier, I told him to tell you that." "Mark, you?re a good boy, always have been, I kind of guessed what you feelings were towards Donald. I wanted to talk to him before you go. I want you to spent time with him, if he wants, just be with him, I know there is the court case coming up. No word on it yet I assume? Well you need to be strong for him support him, I'm telling your mum you are staying with Donald, again if he is ok with that. Ok? Let's go get Donald and we can talk, then I'll take you both over to his place." Mark and his dad moved back to Mark's bedroom and found Donald sitting on the bed his head in his hands, it was obvious that there had been tears. Arthur knelt beside the boy putting his hand on his shoulder. "Donald, I know it's hard to believe at the moment but you are loved by a lot of people, myself included. You need to understand, which I'm sure you do that sometimes people say things they shouldn't. I spoke to Mike, after our talk, to see if I could talk to you about him, you already know about him and Paul, how they met, I'm sure. But did you know that his mum and dad kicked him out, throughout all his stuff. "No son of mine is gonna be a bloody shirt lifter." Was how his dad put it, if I remember. Mike was close to his parents they were proud of his military service, he was awarded a medal for bravery beyond the call. His parents couldn't stop praising him about it. Then came Paul, and it all changed, if it hadn't been for the love of Paul and one or two others Mike may not be here now. He couldn't believe how his parents were, still are to be honest. Nobody would ever tangle with him physically but his mental state was shot to he'll for a while. It took time to get over it. I know it's not the same but you need to understand that there are bad people and good people out there." Arthur paused to let Donald assimilate what had been said. "You know that Mark loves you, I know now how much. I'm proud of him and I'm proud of you for how you are handling all this. Mike thinks your fantastic as does Paul so you already have people who love you. I'll tell you this if Mike had not been on duty that Saturday or it had happened elsewhere Roger would not have been fit to go to court, I know Mike was anger, angrier than I've seen him in a long time. It took both Paul and myself to stop him from taking it further. So do you see that you have support, you may not have thought it but you do. Also mike says you've to call him if you need to talk. He would be a good choice I think as he has been through a lot since he came out." During this last part Arthur noticed that Donald was looking down again wiping his nose and eyes with his hand. He gently lifted Donald's face up cupping his chin. He looked into Donald's tear streamers face. "Son, I've only known you a short time and I consider you family, you have made Mark a happy man that makes me happy. I'm going to take you home and if it's ok with you Mark is going to stay for a while. If you two are gonna get serious may as well start living together to see if you can get along." He smiled at Donald then hugged him. Donald could only look at him, then said "Thank you." He stood and walked to Mark taking him hugging him fiercely. "Thank you as well, thank you for loving me. I love you so much." Mark hugged him back and then pulling away little but not letting him go said "Love you to, let's go." He picked up his bag and the three of them headed to the car. Fifteen minutes later they were at Donald's, they entered, Donald had invited Arthur in but he said he had to get back just in case. So the lads entered the house Donald lifting some mail as he entered. Amongst it a brown envelope, Donald looked at it and froze, he saw the post Mark on the top corner it was from the court. He showed it to Mark who came over and put his arms round him. "Let's get it over with, open it" Donald opened it and read the letter, he was to attend the court on the Tuesday two weeks tomorrow. He turned in Marks arms and held him. "Will you be with me at court?" "I'll be there, remember I will probably get called as well, but no matter I'll be there. So what we gonna do till then?" Mark looked at Donald smiling. Donald walked to the bedroom picking up Marks bag as he did. Mark had every intention of making the next two weeks as good as he could for Donald. He knew he would miss his parents bit Donald was important. Time would tell but first he would curl up with Donald and just hold him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I always enjoy hearing from those who read my Stories.
